hurricane the winds full almost like thirty six hours these are the things that you u.k. has to address or if you join us on set i'm a member of the ku klux klan but we struck up a relationship this is a dialogue tweet us with hostile a.j. stream and one of your pitches might make the next shot join the global conversation at this time on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. where ever you are. oh this is al-jazeera.

hello and welcome to the news hour it's a whole ramadan all these are all stories coming up in the next sixty minutes we got this you know the quote of the you would tell who is calling for. a blood message to robert mugabe from his former allies as a bar boys parliament moves ahead with impeachment. also b.m.r. is accused of subjecting its ring of people to what's described as a vicious system of apartheid. and all smiles and handshakes and rush of a serious president thanks madam a putin for in his words saving his country. plus the international criminal court risks a possible showdown with washington as it asks to investigate alleged u.s. war crimes in afghanistan. all the stories and more coming up but we begin. breaking news coming out of

nigeria where as many as fifty people have been killed by a suicide bomber it's happened in will be witches in the north eastern state police say a teenage bomber targeted a mosque as people were arriving for morning prayers and no group has claimed responsibility but the nigerian group boko haram carried out or has carried out similar attacks in the region let's go straight over to our correspondent who joins me now from the capital of the death toll is rising from the initial reports when we spoke to local security official there saying that they were unable to deal with the casualties and what more do we know about the incident what well basically the question of how many people died is is clear more than twenty people and some pictures are courting more more than forty and fifty in some cases however what is certain i spoke to.

in people earlier today and he confirmed to me that he led that prayer and many other dead bodies were taken by the relations to be buried privately he said a lot of people have also been injured so the expectation is that more and more people may second to the injuries the sustained some sustained horrible injuries during the early morning attack so i've spoken also to emergency workers who said they're trying to. put together a list of those missing those dead and those injured it happened i wave from the state capital at the most it can but it is about two hundred kilometers away from i don't know state capital you are so nice of that you might use the workers is actually in your life so they have to drive for four hours to reach more because of the bad road to treat the injured because the hospitals in town are not fully

equipped to deal with the situation well we'll have to leave it there and of course i come back to you as that situation develops the best evidence is there in abuja nigeria thank you staying on the call didn't smell the coffee your time is over that's the message from zimbabwe's powerful war veterans to the president robert mugabe impeachment proceedings are now underway in the capital harare the senate and national assembly are meeting but state media says the gatherings too large to be held in parliament happen at a nearby conference said to instead the transition of power has been largely peaceful so far but the rhetoric is getting steadily more aggressive the war veterans are warning m.p.'s not to stand in the way of garvey's impeachment. no indeed can be found to be on the wrong side by the people of zimbabwe on the issue of the impeachment was bob we knew they were believed to be the people who did murder we want all these people. to discourage you from making the only important

decision to say that we do if you are in a very we may be visiting you that you are. bullies led. war we is the people as well we do we are not waiting for the constitutional process we are said you got no the cause of the good. well earlier the man considered most likely to replace mcgarvey reportedly spoken to the first time since the military takeover and said my god said that in a statement that the government should resign immediately the unfolding drama here is at the center of talks hosted by a goal involving the leaders of south africa some bia and tanzania. shortly we'll get more of those regional reaction sometimes your pages said johannesburg first let's go over to how retired in harare. i think we just lost her we're going to turn your first. obviously we've got regional

neighbors looking into the events of the last seven days very concerned about what's going on. is meeting i mean to discuss those developments it is overshadowed normally because the group itself talks about the economy and the growth within these countries they can't do that this year. yes exactly but obviously the quickly unfolding events over the last week or so in zimbabwe are really taking precedence and priority we saw as soon as the military intervened in zimbabwe south african president jacob zuma because south africa cheers static at the moment being able to make one phone call to president mugabe to confirm that he wasn and confined in his home but that he was fine so they're focusing on boys as well and so this is really the follow up to an emergency summit held last week and as you say we're going to be very much driven by events in harare so exactly what

cedric ends up responding to depends what happens in zimbabwe over the next couple of hours i think if we don't have a clear picture by the time the sec summit ends we can really only expect to have them reiterate their position calling for is about with constitution to be respected and for the rule of law to be maintained meanwhile we have head of the region's outspoken leader botswana's president in karma issue an open letter to president mugabe calling for him to step down that isn't so surprising because president carter has in the past made that sort of call and in doing so really stands out as a leader in this part of the world willing to put his head above the pope but if you like in that open letter which was released by the president's office on facebook and on twitter he says that our president mugabe should go with dignity he should listen to the cause of many hundreds of thousands of zimbabweans and he

should exit with dignity so that zimbabwe can fulfill its economic and social development potential which we will have the mobile to thank so much to join you can draw but so across but now to her it is a barbarian capital harare let's just get it to. with where we are in terms of the impeachment process what's actually happening. here outside parliament a lot of people have gathered every time an m.p. would arrive they would shout please do the right thing for the country vote the old man out. listening to speeches from different opposition leaders and the war veterans and it is the same message we seeing a united front people coming together and saying the old man must be calling on the placards. the country long enough to know the

m.p.'s are started. by one another so that both houses. and needs to sides with the. president. they are going. now people are waiting for some kind of announcement. but i can tell you it seems. to be growing louder and louder he called a cabinet meeting early in the day only about five people showed up for that meeting so you could end up having a meeting after also. increasing pressure. you might say the president. across the border possibly south africa saying roughly the same sort of thing but the pressure is on we've heard from the war veterans again today really putting the pressure on saying. the biggest hindrance to this country and also thank you the

generals to. the situation that they are in now in trying to get to resign. some people understand that after so much pressure why is the president still hanging on why you think some people think that maybe. maybe. maybe some of the army members who know it's probably long long time back to the days of the liberation trying to help him become part of the dignified so that he leaves what kind of great. people are expecting i suppose at some point in time to have a muslim and. here in public you haven't appeared in public since he left the country more than two weeks ago but. there's some confusion as the battle that's going on in the optimism people here outside the parliament i think they feel something about change change for the better for the country they just don't know when that

is happening people waiting for the president is going to decide the way you know that will be always just what does have to come back to you as a situation changes thank you. treatment of its regular lives has been likened to apartheid in a report by amnesty international the organization spent two years investigating the cause of the current drug a crisis which has forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee over the border to bangladesh the report says that. people in an open air prison if i can find them to villages towns that we're both ortiz are guilty of being openly racist towards says rakhine state where a military crackdown has been ongoing is a crime scene regular forgive me and also tonight citizenship on the basis of their ethnicity many are deleted from official records making it almost impossible for those who fled violence in the country to return home. well european or asian

foreign ministers have discussed the record crisis on the sidelines of the summit in moscow highly is following developments from the about largest city. it was a meeting planned before the recent crisis that sent more than six hundred thousand refugees from rakhine state here fleeing for their lives. to the bangladesh the crisis became the focus horn ministers and representatives from more than fifty european and asian nations gathered in me and most capital nato or. the holes as the leaders were wrapping up their final day of the two day talks amnesty international unveiled a report on the plight of the russian judge in myanmar. after two years of research digging into the roots of how the rich have lived in myanmar the human rights watchdog concluded it was apartheid like the author of the report told our jazeera the government's reasoning for the range of treatment is not only unjustified it's criminal in relation to the ongoing system of apartheid that we describe in our

report i think the world is way too willing to buy into the restoration presented by the myanmar authorities about the need to combat terrorism about the need to establish security and that's why they felt it was a very important moment to remind both them young mara fish oils and their international counterparts that absolutely no considerations feed security or the need to combat terrorism can't justify the ongoing crimes against humanity to justify the system of apartheid and back at the foreign ministers meeting myanmar's leader on song she said that her government is working with bangladesh on an agreement a repatriation for those who fled over the last three months the bangladeshi foreign minister will stay on after the meeting in myanmar continuing with the negotiations repatriations working toward a memo of understanding or demo you. why we have going to be having byelection discussions with you for tomorrow and the day after and we hope that this will

result in a more human side could kill me which is to enable us to stop the safe and volunteer return of the old who is not going to cross the border it won't be an easy process as many fled quickly as the violence escalated they won't have the documents to prove they lived in rakhine state many regions of villages were burned raising the question if they are repatriated what conditions will they face and what are the guarantees that violence won't get scott harder al-jazeera the ngo on. the child or has spoken with regular refugees in cox's bazar in bangladesh about the conditions they face and be a state. a scathing report by amnesty international this close today after two years of research charming state as a crime scene and a vicious state of appetite exists there now the me and my refuges of come across on this side of the bar within the last few months and those who came in last several days are pretty much telling the same thing which corroborates the amnesty

story they're saying that they're subject to a killing raping atrocity is burning off their houses they're confined to a particular place they're not allowed to go out and many are stranded in the jungles and in the mountains and the by the not free about trying to cross into bangladesh still it appears to be a very orchestrated strategy by the security force to force all the ranges out we spoke to many of their own this is what that to say. this. came to bangladesh security forces home a month ago after a long and tedious journey i finally arrived. and killed my daughter from a distance while we trying to escape what appears to be a very orchestrated strategy by the myanmar security force. offer a kind friends honorarium mind up on area kept them out and then have a very strange and rigid residential policy for any repatriation of their own direction g.'s back into me on my own the question remains whatever the outcome is

most of the range of refugees are very scared to go back to myanmar without some sort of international guarantee of peace and security. lebanon's prime minister will be counterpart in cairo. two week absence. left paris where the french president has been for his resignation of the recently quit as prime minister while the earlier this month of the state of the kingdom. meanwhile lebanon's army chief has called for full readiness from troops on its southern border with israel he said it's a day ahead of saturday's return to beirut harder has more from beirut. the army statement ahead of independence day lebanon is in a state of war with israel and that's why the army chief calling on the troops to remain vigilant to face the possibility of any israeli threats but in that statement the army chief mentions the extraordinary political situation in the

country and it is extraordinary the prime minister suddenly resigned two weeks ago while he was in the saudi capital he stayed there for two weeks and mysterious circumstances with some in lebanon suggesting that he was being held hostage so the army calling on the troops to make sure that or to prevent anyone to try to exploit this political instability lebanon is not immune to political crisis nor is it immune to security incidents as a result of the political crisis now the prime minister saddle had he is expected to attend independence day celebrations on wednesday it is still not clear whether or not he will submit his resignation on wednesday or on thursday and it's still not clear if if there is there some sort of compromise can be reached but undoubtedly there is fear that if there is no consensus or an agreement there could be a prolonged political paralysis and that would leave the possibility of security incidents in lebanon well plenty more ahead here of the new star including america's allies come to welcome donald trump's move to put north korea back on the terrorism

blacklist. the richardson in at least say all cats are at the exact point where in five years time the world cup will be kicking off. syria's president bashar assad hold talks with russia's leader vladimir putin in sochi the islands in syria six years of war six year war met in the black sea city on monday according to the crabwood putin told assad the fight against armed groups in syria is close to finishing he said once that's over finding a peaceful political settlement will be a key issue. no you were never president assad knows and he told me during our talks that thanks to the efforts of the russian army syria is saved as a state much has been done to stabilize the situation in syria and i hope in the near future we'll put a final stop to fighting terrorism in syria because we just had

a meeting with president vladimir putin and i passed greetings and gratitude to him and to the people of russia for the efforts which russia put in saving our country i particularly emphasized the role of the russian armed forces and the sacrifices you have made to reach this goal thanks to your efforts and the efforts of our allies many syrians could return to their homes and i would like to express gratitude to you for what you have done on behalf of all the syrian people al-jazeera senior political analyst bashar joins me now here in studio three a if a fast day of trying to analyze exactly what went on in moscow between putin and assad obviously they are very happy with what's going on as they head towards those geneva talks. absolutely look and then the other day perhaps a sobering perspective is in order it's been many years of civil war in syria where the intervention of. the russians some two or three years ago.

of course tipped the balance in favor of assad. and in the end of the day as any student of international relations will tell you diplomacy is that reflection of the balance or imbalance of power on the ground and the ground today is controlled by the russians and their syrian client bashar al assad and hence their tone there the content of their conversation and their strategy moving forward is of course one of attempting to take control of the entire diplomatic process how much of that diplomacy has preempted by the meeting of putin and trump on the sidelines of the r.c.n. summit just a week or so ago where america stayed very quiet on the issue of syria analysts suggesting really giving russia a free hand to go forward it's their game now you know it's been. a process of the divil you should since the obama administration decided to take

a back seat on the syria crisis not to intervene and so on so forth and then join the political process. but it wasn't exactly with his yes think about it although john kerry remained involved in the political process the white house did not put its weight behind it then we had the russia intervene militarily in syria and clearly the advantage was for moscow on washington of how to empowered to influence things and then we had president trump besides his pinprick attacks to show some bravado of some kind traum proved to be totally utterly lazy and interested and concerned and certainly not putting any weight or any thinking to the question of syria and hence he's basically outsourced the entire process to russia which has been defacto the occupying power on the ground of course the u.s. has been backing fighters in the syrian conflict some of those fighters are

represented in talks in saudi arabia now being led by saudi arabia do you get the impression now they are going to be the lead state actor in this as they try and find a way to get the opposition groups on message. you are too kind they are too diplomatic. it's a career are making about my work so much yes that's more than i get in t.v. and masses there actually trying to shape. to reinvent the syrian opposition in a way that is conducive to us and putin's vision of what syria of the future looks like and that's not going to be the problem democratic or anything and it's not going to be it's not going to be at all. kind to the syrian opposition to the syrian people it's going to be quite forgiving to bashar assad so much so and here's what we've heard today from foreign minister lavrov of this of russia and basically his so would the allies it's

basically that the likes of riyadh his job who resigned just two days ago as one of the eight other syrian opposition leaders they call them hardliners suddenly there are hardliners why because they think bashar assad should not be part of the future of syria should not be part of the traditions transitional process so it just few months ago just a few years ago whoever said that i said can be part of the transition process was accused of betraying the cause of the syrian people today anyone who say is this guy who butchered half a million people should not be part of the syria's future it's course of the hard drive in washington does that mean in moscow where do you now than see the position of. the job who has resigned he was a former prime minister in syria so who could fill his shoes if there are shoes to be filled or is it just all just draining away now in terms of no strength of the

opposition not on the contrary actually moscow and riyadh are celebrating because they basically pushed him out i mean some of those people in the syrian leadership who resigned were not even invited to the opposition meeting in riyadh so so much so that i think the syrian opposition now feels that they have been out outcast and that russia and. saudi arabia are designing their own opposition an opposition that's basically been in syria even the likes of president assad of syria allies of moscow in this whole issue so really what we're having now is within couple of days they're going to design a very moderate so-called appeasing opposition group that will go to geneva and basically would have very little to negotiate about because they are in agreement with moscow well we'll see how it does pan out for the moment moment thank you you

thank. well as we just discussed with. his no longer heading up the haitians see syria's main opposition in june looks back at his johnson leadership. syria's opposition has for years been fractured. the formation of the high negotiations committee or h n c in december two thousand and fifteen was a belated attempt to speak and negotiate with a more unified voice. backed by saudi arabia the agency is considered the main bloc for syrian opposition groups which is why the resignation of the group's leader in riyadh his job at such a critical time is a surprise it's no doubt that today the fight against. is needing to end then and there is a practical any. and every bar is getting ready to go into the negotiation table because the agency is made up of several military and

political opposition groups and has consistently called for the removal of syrian president bashar assad as the basis for any solution to the war has a former prime minister of syria who defected following the two thousand and eleven uprising is among a number of other officials who have stepped down ahead of an opposition conference in saudi arabia and a new round of u.n. sponsored talks in geneva it could be that the saudis had a particular replacement in mind it could be that he was frustrated that things were going nowhere and didn't want to go through a sort of farcical display at these meetings until now the main rupture within the opposition has been between the agency and two other dissident groups the moscow and cairo platforms which have close links to russia and are tolerated by the syrian government. while some wonder if the agency will survive analysts suggest his job's departure doesn't necessarily mean the end and that the group can still

play a vital role in trying to forge a political solution to syria's war now the question for them is to come up united and to have. their voice here and try to cover diplomatically what they believe they were not able to achieve his job announced his decision to step down on monday without explaining why in some ways it's a bit of a p.r. sort of position it plays well to the a western audience a play as well to the other powers in the region to make it seem like they're someone speaking for all of these groups when in reality they don't so i think that there's a certain frustration that anyone would have in that circumstance while divisions within the syrian opposition have long been just one of the numerous obstacles in the ongoing attempts to end the war in syria the question for now at least is what and who comes next. when it's time for the weather now away in

a land near yes not rob pendulum has swung in memory had that strong el nino year when the pacific most of the other side where they should be this is the opposite and in many ways it has opposite. effect to the world's weather but one of the obvious things is just behind me now that satellite picture shows a hump of white cloud which is warm a low pressure system a storm system heading up towards british columbia british climbing a lot of snow already in the now it's getting rain that rain starting to become heavy that is one of the consequences of a median if you think about it if it's pushing up on that side of the u.s. usually it tips things down the other side and that is currently the case with a cold winter sitting up here more or less actually along the border but it has been pushed to the northeast more than once it's just done that now it's a real hard winter yet. but when he does that sort of you get cold air over the great lakes and the great lakes are still quite warm so you've got again you've

heard this is the lake effect snow and this is in northern new york state this snow is simply because warm cold as across the warm water creating clouds and the snow has fallen now that's been cut off now the current position is we got to back nine degrees and it was just to the east of toronto. so you got it pulsing and it looks like we'll see the cold swings through again in the next twenty four hours overnight tonight and maybe give you a little bit of snow on that cold front but then it will dissipate eastwards again the sun comes out we're left with three degrees but almost cold enough for a little bit more snow it's not permanent yet. thanks very much trouble still ahead here on the news germany's president meets party leaders in an effort to salvage a new coalition government plus. it is america and everybody can make a choice and i've made that clear to. the oakland raiders coach defense one of his players against criticism from the president. in support.

short films of hope. and inspiration. a series of short stories that highlight the human triumph against the. al-jazeera selects at this time. and monday put it well on. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to from driving. my case won five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been

able to escape the war. but the back you're watching are just a reminder of our top stories this hour as many as fifty people have been killed by a suicide bomber in mumbai in nigeria's northeastern state police say a teenage bomber targeted a mosque as people were arriving for morning prayers no group has claimed responsibility but the corrupt carries out regular attacks in the region. lebanon's prime minister will meet his addiction counterpart in the cairo later on tuesday as he makes his way home after a two week absence saad hariri earlier left paris where the french president has

with mediating the fallout from his resignation very recently quit as prime minister walid riyadh earlier this month of a state in the kingdom. thousands of people are demonstrating are signs of wild ways public calling for present robert mugabe to step down their peaceful proceedings are coming the way through exotic p.s. accused the guardian of allowing his wife to usurp power and being too old to lead . well as you heard at the start of the program former vice president ever said but is reportedly adding his voice to calls for gobbi to resign he's the ruling party's favorite to take over the presidency after simmons takes a closer look now at his background. two leaders one side by side who became sworn enemies this is how an extraordinary sequence of events started this is in relation to tell me nation. of employment as vice president m s m n i gag had been sacked by robert mugabe are accused of being unreliable

disloyal and deceitful speculation pointed towards grace mugabi the president's wife as being behind the move the two had publicly fallen out in the jockeying for position over who should succeed ninety three year old mcgarvie. that highlighted the two factions splitting the ruling party at the time the military and the war veterans loyal to. grace mugabe's sam who dubbed g. forty one fled abroad but his supporters planned their response and it was dramatic the head of the defense forces warned the army would step in if the purges of politicians it favors didn't stop hours later armored vehicles rolled into the capital harare we wish to assure the nation that he's excellent to the

president of the republic of zimbabwe and commander in chief of views and i would defend forces. comic mugabe and his family safe and sound and the security is going to teach many of my gob is long term supporters had clearly abandoned him. that. should have been recalled from is it as the president and first. man gaga has stayed quiet a tactic that didn't surprise observers of the man who has been nicknamed the crocodile for his style in dealing with opponents easy one man boy is not to be allowed to mouth these calculative when you look at it when it wants to act out his prose is calculated you don't cry live at cause until there the

person is not knowing what is going to happen and if. the number. one guy had been a powerful and loyal member of mugabe's inner circle serving as justice minister speaker of parliament and vice president his supporters praise his business acumen and hope he can improve zimbabwe's dire economic situation if given the chance he's also suggested reengaging with the west after years of international isolation under the gobby andrew simmons al-jazeera. that beast of a could is a researcher at the al-jazeera center for studies joins me now in the studio we've been following events throughout the day and they are fast moving certainly with now the south african president in harare speaking to mugabe it seems that the former regional leaders and even current leaders are really trying to find a way to speak to him you know they're trying to convince him to relinquish power

and also i think they're also concerned about trying to preserve his legacy he's the oldest surviving statesman who assisted many of these countries during the difficult times of colonialism in a party for example in south africa that's the first point the second point i don't think the sidekick members will lead to see the situation in zimbabwe getting worse than it is now because a lot of serious consequences should it be blown out of proportion particularly with the comes to the refugees who might go or lives in burma because all of the challenges all these countries that are meeting at the moment are dealing with the challenges of. the zimbabweans in their own countries who lives and because of certain political pressures of course those that quite see eye to eye with zanu p.f. or with mugabe we have seen a much more angered and. going anger from the war veterans they again were

speaking. clear earlier chairman saying to the guard the openly throw in the towel you are the biggest hindrance to our country. but also thanking the military for their role in allowing that the discourse and the process to happen the military is still playing a vital role in all of this behind the scenes as it is but one hopes that this does not become. a challenge in the future for for the zimbabwe if it does drag on do you see a time where the military will say look enough is enough. it will be a military coup this is where it's going to have. i mean is that different as old and all those also if you haven't signed on the dotted line yet but all the people that used to be his henchmen and foot soldiers all of them of turned against him he's ninety three years old here's a good much stamina or energy to to carry on with this so i don't see him

continuing pressing forward with or resisting the exit after after today our correspondent in harare showed us the national newspapers earlier in the day saying that you know let's bury the hatchet and should come back to her to harare to talk to mugabe we're hearing these statements that we really can't quite confirm yet because he hasn't come on camera to say this himself that he he would consider talking to mcgarvie he will return to not hearing it from the man himself was an official statement that it's lies to believe to have emanated from an office where he said today that he's willing to come back to zimbabwe but until he's security is guaranteed he won't come back we will see left because he claims that his life was threatened that's why i left the country and this statement i was issued about two three hours ago says that he's willing to come back but you don't

want to come back after mugabe used is he the type of man that is willing to being clue sieve of all the opposition groups that have for years opposed mccarthy because one of the things that the war veteran said again today that they would challenge any of the zanu p.f. members of parliament that were didn't allow the inclusive ety or stood in the way of the impeachment process how much of a threat is that the position is about is extremely weak i don't think we should take anything that is a very seriously we should take what the men says and i do believe that he cannot rule a country by himself you need support don't you you know the army you need them. needs are to say what the war veterans say certainly it is but it's been quite instrumental over to those years but i thought when you said the opposition is referring to the movement of democratic changes are there for mother and child but yes these other affiliates of the zone appear yes they'll put pressure on him and i think he will take this as

a second opportunity. ever said you know and i think even though many people have written him off because he used to be associated with mugabe some people are saying this might be another mikhail gorbachev or if there were to click of south africa who came from the previous regimes but didn't manage to ten both countries around so it's hope people are hopeful that innocent men go graham i do the same as above and it seems a new page is being with every day in zimbabwe is history book for the moment to be said for good or thanks for joining us. palestine has suspended all communications with the u.s. after the trumpet ministration threaten to close at the palestine liberation organization office in washington d.c. the us threat was a response to palestinian efforts to take israel to the international criminal court building a case of illegal settlements the us state department says the p.l.o. is breaking the law by calling for prosecution. the prosecutor of the international criminal court has requested authorization from its judges to investigate alleged

war crimes since the u.s. led invasion of afghanistan for two upand suter says there's a reasonable basis to believe that members of the us armed forces and the cia carried out war crimes in afghanistan they really during two thousand and three and two thousand and four the taliban and its ally the haqqani network and the afghan national security forces also included in the planned investigation the us is not a member state of the court but afghanistan is so american citizens can be charged for crimes committed in countries that are members of the u.s. state department says an investigation into possible u.s. war crimes would be wholly unwarranted and justified michael semple is a visiting research professor at queen's university belfast in northern ireland former deputy e.u. special representative in afghanistan he says it will be difficult to get to the truth. the reality is that in all the long lead up to this announcement the i.c.c. has not even been able to deploy a team on the ground in afghanistan to conduct

a survey and country assessment and i think that it's very unlikely that we're going to see. finalising of investigations or things going to trial because there is a long list of obstacles that they would have to clear all along the way so they yes they have they've made the request they are able to speak to the you know these allegations of war crimes but afghanistan is a very difficult country to operate in in there and this will announcements that the i.c.c. has said that for crimes by people working for the us they're talking about the period two thousand and three to two thousand and four already well over well over a decade ago so without the cooperation of u.s. government without the without the i.c.c. teams yet having overcome the their security hang ups to get to afghanistan

it seems very different difficult for them to put to put together the case how are they going to get the evidence the u.s. president ultron passed put north korea back on america's list of terrorism sponsors trump's secretary of state rex tillerson isn't giving up hope to the crisis can be solved through negotiation britain see reports now from washington d.c. . president trumps of the designation of move career as a sponsor of terrorism was long overdue should happened a long time ago should have been years ago in addition to threatening the world by nuclear devastation north korea has repeatedly supported acts of international terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil. however this announcement wasn't a certainty some officials at the state department were reported to as north korea did not meet the legal definition of a state sponsor of terrorism two cases of them cited during the deliberations the

a policy towards north korea that would be different and more creative than the ones that the inside the beltway crowd have been implementing. the north koreans have said they would end their nuclear tests and resume negotiations if the u.s. and its military exercises with south korea the u.s. has ruled that out so in the meantime the administration is once again relying on sanctions and harsh rhetoric. washington. judges of the philippines highest court are hearing petitions against the government's crackdown on drug dealers relatives of victims are challenge to the constitutionality of president detailed his campaign that led to thousands of deaths that if the government fails to prove his case will go to teti could be found guilty of not following due process. germany's president is holding talks with party leaders after talks to form a new coalition government collapsed president frank involved to stand by who can call for new elections to rethink that positions three way talks involving

well the back when south korea's economy was facing really two decades ago the government was rescued by the international monetary fund in a multi billion dollar bailout it's enjoyed an incredible recovery since that is touted as a success story amongst asian economies but there are still challenges as kathy novak reports. for those who lived it this was an unforgettable display of sacrifice and patriotism hit hard by the asian financial crisis south korea's government asked the i.m.f. for a fifty eight billion dollar bailout and the country wasted no time getting to work on paying it back millions donated precious family heirlooms to be melted into gold bars parks and he was one of them. cut him off i didn't hesitate to donate gold rings i got for my children's first birthdays and gold bands i got for my wedding i was ready to give those up if it was going to help my country overcome the crisis. as a financial crisis swept the region it became clear south korea had built up crippling

foreign debt imports exceeded exports by more than twenty billion dollars it was a shock for a population that had been enjoying a booming economy just the year before news people have fired have been fired and a lot of expression in the financial area number of small you know banks has to close the gold went to some way to helping even if largely psychologically and thanks to economic restructuring and currency movements south korea bounced back repaying its debt to the i.m.f. in about three years today this country is often held up as an economic success story the booming stock market a sign of investor confidence especially in companies such as samsung and here on day and g.d.p. per capita has more than tripled in the twenty years since the crisis there has also been a trade surplus in the billions of dollars for almost six years of her in the
