>> welcome back to al jazeera america. i'm antonio mora. coming up in this half hour of international news. you howhow different the world would

look today had napoleon not been defeatin waterloo. defeated in waterloo. pot smokers those caught smoking in public could get their pot confiscated and receive a $100 fine. those laws go into effect in 23 states. heavy.remnants of tropical storm bill. two have died in oklahoma including a two-year-old boy. missouri has dlaiferred declared a state of emergency. >> wildfires around san bernardino area in california.

this is what id it sounds like when it's become crushed. it's being turned into a useless powder. animal lovers were on hand to witness it, the hope is they will take the message home with them. >> by being here today it shows i stand for the elephants animal rights, i love them. they are beautiful animals. the. >> they are beautiful animal. they are tender, compassionate and caring animals. >> today's ivory crush will send a very clear message to the world that we're not only crushing ivory. we're crushing the bloody ivory market. >> having laws is one thing enforcing them another. trading in ancient ivory is okay. but it's almost impossible to tell the difference between new and old.

>> at the end of the day, we have to educate people that when you buy that trinket you are killing an elephant. you are he hpg helping to destabilize african and the sale of ivory. >> both new york and new jersey have passed state laws banning the sale of i'veary products. other states may fall into line too. people here certainly hope so. for the sake of the elephants. >> i see them being sacrificed for something so trivial as tacky souvenirs. it's just for the short term greedy profit motive that makes it extra-traj-tragic. >> reporter: john terret, al jazeera, morning.

conceivably life in prison and an espionage charge. the united states needs to recognize the asylum he has received and give him free passage to ecuador. >> what should be done next? >> we should go into a european court of human rights and saying the swedish case is taking too long. without proceeding from allegations to anything. and secondly that these countries have to recognize the right of asylum. it's all going to take some time and but during that time, julian is doing quite well. lots of work is coming out of wikileaks. in fact there was a release of documents considering saudi arabia. he understands he has to stay in the embassy because coming to the united states is a disaster. >> what is his state of mind?

>> the embassy is small london, no outdoor space an apartment house, it is difficult no doubt difficult. his attitude is difficult not being able to get natural sunshine or go outside is hard. not to see his relatives is very difficult. he's holding up quite well but the conditions are not ideal. not because it's ecuador's fault but the u.k. won't allow him to take exercise on the roof or give him safe passage et cetera. he functions quite well, i visit him often and he often has interesting things osay. >> benjamin franklin said guests after three days smell like fish. this is been three years.

>> ec wa disor hasecuador has been are supporting assange all the way. >> thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me on al jazeera. >> delegation plans to leave geneva as early as tomorrow. hashem ahelbarra has more from geneva. >> it's been almost a week that yemen's warring faction he were trying to pin down -- factions were trying to pin down a solution to the political process about setting aside the process and their differences but it didn't work. because of the huge differences between the two faction he.

for them to move forward they want the saudi led air strikes to come to an end. the government says it wants the houthis to stop shelling. it is impossible for the international community to reconcile those differences. that's why they say nothing has been achieved and flying back to be saudi arabia tomorrow. >> hashem ahelbarra thanks. there is been a calling in canada for the killing of ab ab ridgeanridge knees. an ridgeaborigines.

>> the canadian government says 1200 aborigine women and girls have gone missing. >> we should not view it as a sociologyical issue but a crime. >> indigenous people as a whole don't have equitable access to education, justice reproductive health food, water housing. it is all of those issues that create this sphere of violence against indisij news women and girls. >> this is where they found the body of tina fawn fawn tina fontaine.

countless others have been murdered or gone missing since. felicia is one of her daughters that have been murdered are ogone missing. >> prime minister hearn's daughter i definitely think things would be different. >> reporter: so with the government treating the missing and murdered women each as a crime, on the streets of winnipeg's largely indigenous population indhairches would neverindifference thatwould never

be torltded in any other community. >> we want the same police force that every other community gets. we want the community to know that driving through town looking for sex not going to be tolerated. >> the list of those who mourn the missing grows longer. john hendren, al jazeera winnipeg. >> what if napoleon won the battle of waterloo 200 years ago this week? intriguing possibilities about the role of the u.s. in the world today. plus toyota apologizes for the actions of this woman. the first female executive in the history of the company. she's an american.

rise us... >> wow, these are amazing... >> techknow, where technology meets humanity! only on al jazeera america >> toyota's president apologized today for the actions of the company's first female senior executive. american julie hample was hamp was

arrested for mailing painkillers to japan. >> it's the responsibility of a parent to protect his children and if a child causes problems it's also a parent's responsibility to apologize. >> toyota's president says he believes hamp had no intention of breaking the law. if dielgted she so face time in prison. >> boeing and airbus can sell but there are many deals behind the scenes. for france that means selling its home grown fighter jet rafal. >> reporter: the rafal is a french fighter jet used

primarily by the french air force. until recently no one else wanted it, it didn't stack up, even if the boss of the company which makes it thinks otherwise. >> i think its capability has been recognized by our complers. problems in some areas in the world, has also pushed some government to buy and to reinforce the difference. >> reporter: this is key not so much to the rafal in-air success. middle eastern countries saw what the plane could do in combat and they could buy them with much more flexibility. >> dedicated functions we are ready to develop then we propose in their contract to develop the specificity. we need authorization from our french authorities to sell to

these countries. >> reporter: the sheer number of people who come to see the rafal at an air show like this is test standpoint to the amount of interest in it. aviation spent $45 billion just on developing the rafal but that's been money well spent when you think that qatar has bought, india has bought. and there is a major deal for others as well. just what they're costing those countries a little less obvious. >> we could say a modern fighter so cost 80 to $120 million. it is difficult to say because negotiations are very secretive. basically they will have to invest money back into the host government. for example for the case of india, 30% more of the money

into india. they are going to want to receive something in return not just the aircraft. have. >> reporter: so no doubt rafal has become a popular airplane what's good in the sky will be good on the ground as well. >> a battle that changed history was reenacted on a massive scale. 200 years ago napoleon was defeated at waterloo. joining soldiers on the battlefield. >> napoleon is inspecting his army. as the great man once said, an army marches on its stomach and his soldiers seemed more interested in the food than coming battle. some have a premonition that

things may not turn out well. >> translator: waterloo was the end of a dream, the dream of a great empire. france was not ever as powerful than it was at that moment. it is not that i'm nostalgic i enjoy recreating that moment in history. >> reporter: the french are busy putting forward their drills. some of this brave soldiers now suspect that a ferocious battle is soon to come because the british are waiting for them with their german and dutch allies led by the duke duke of welg wellington, who has never lost to the french. >> recreating the battle of waterloo with artillery with uniforms, with horses, the most meticulous attention to detail,

bringing to life the most historic battle of europe. >> there are wave upon wave of attacks. they fight at close range but the british red coats stand firm. the duke of wellington is victorious. the british era of supremacy has begun. so ended the battle of waterloo in 1815. the 2015 was not as glorious but a glorious spectacle nonetheless. >> we are joined by robert tombs, the author of the english and their history. victor hugo said waterloo is not a battle. >> very good to be with you. >> it is the changing face of

the universe. that wasn't hyperbole. it laid the groundwork for the world we have today. >> yes it did. it gave europe and to some extent the world, 100 years of peace after 100 years of constant war including three global wars, and the end of napoleon was the end of that period. and it gave europe and the rest of the world time to build their economies, their societies and their systems of government so i think it's a battle worth fighting. >> immediately it changed from a french empire to a british empire. that has had enormous consequence over the years on almost every continent. >> yes it did. the american hegemony also .

also oops. the dominant power around the world. >> it could have gone either way it was said, i know i'm putting you in the great ramadi of speculation. what would have happened -- the great realm of speculation. what would have happened? >> he would have probably been beaten by the russian he and the austrians. it's hard to see limb beating the russians when they finally arrived. he probably would have lost anyway but at least he lost quickly. assuming he would have managed to have win and the others made peace, we would have had a much more authoritarian system in ceurm i'm not saying we would

all be -- in europe. i'm not saying we would have been speaking french today but we would have taken our models from france in the way the state works, and largely, england became the model for the mod everyone state. >> some argue that it did set the stage in the long run for the u.s. to become the superpower or the german mill starrismmilitarism. >> it certainly did. then of course napoleon was the one who largely sparked that off by invading germany and indeed much of europe. it was because of napoleon that german nationalism began. >> and varying widely on both sides of the english channel.

isn't he credited for ending few ending feudalism, the napoleonic code, that's the basis of many rules of law today. >> oh yes he was a modernizer, he did a lot of good things in the sense of legal reform and so on. butter endless war was an awfully large price to take for that. >> 200 years later one of the most important events in history continues to resonate and robert tombs, it is good to have you with us and get your insight thank you. >> pleasure. >> south africans are spending the night on the street, to raise the issue of homelessness.

>> nrm south africa ain south africa a group of business people are sperng the night on the street to call attention to the homeless. >> business leaders spending the night out in the cold. it's part of a global campaign to raise awareness about homelessness. >> probably the most important thing is the symbolism of it. obviously one night and a few hundred thousand bucks won't change the world for people. but the symbolism is the right symbolism. hopefully they'll be able to put much more than just money and time. >> reporter: despite that sentiment qualcomm is prepared to make 100,000 people, homeless.

>> if you don't have that to buy a coupon, the electricity is off. now it's too risky to live here. if you check also the water and sanitation. >> top management sleeping out for a night means nothing. this is the first time the event is taking place in africa with more than 240 ceos taking part they have all donated at least $10,000 to charity. the leader of the workers union doesn't agree with the sleepout. >> i think it's more to the poor, they go out and sleep somewhere just demonstrating i've seen this a couple years back. one minister went to demonstrate he will sleep there. poor people are facing the challenges on a daily basis. >> reporter: while chief executives get a teresa of
