zero. hello i'm marianna mozzie this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes here in the. order to. the public protests in russia over the shopping center fire which killed at least sixty four people most of them children. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg says he'll testify before congress over social networks privacy practices president trump. back in the spotlight this time over loans for his family's business and a mysterious train in v.i.p. motorcade sparks speculation that north korea's leader paid a secret visit to beijing. and i'm tatiana in doha with the day's sports news the including australian cricket captain with steve

smith the vice captain david warner and cameron of bancroft's will be sent home from the african tour following their role in a ball tampering scandal. more later this hour. now five people have been charged over a fire in a shopping center in russia which killed sixty four people forty one of them children earlier russian president vladimir putin visited the siberian city where it happened and blamed the tragedy on criminal negligence of unread protests on the streets demanding justice for the victims our moscow correspondent rich allan's reports. two different memorial events in moscow one tuesday evening two different aspects of a nation's grief first the official one beneath the walls of the kremlin with

flowers and toys supplied by the city authorities later a people's gathering on pushkin square here there was anger at the country's political system for allowing cameras appalling fine to happen. on the ground our citizens are deeply unhappy with your thought these actions including the president who should be responsible for everything happening in the country but who nevertheless doesn't do anything to minimize things like corruption. i think at the at the rallies hundred percent staged i don't think that many people willingly when there are many of them receive salaries from the state and they were forced to attend here people came because they want to tune in camera itself which lost so many people in this disaster understandably the mood was even more roar that's a rally demanding truth and justice a man described his last words to his dying young daughter would you. i said where where is my daughter i was talking to her on the phone she cried i'm here dad here

i told her lie down on the floor i'm brave breathe and don't die i cried i was crying to my daughter she said dad i love you i'm suffocating i'm losing consciousness excuse me people here say they believe the death toll is much higher than officially admitted. vladimir putin often stays away from domestic disasters but earlier on tuesday he visited camera and it's been removed residents criminal negligence was to blame he said but it was too early to point fingers at this system an investigation team of one hundred people is working here they will go along the whole chain starting with those who issued licenses and up to those who are responsible for safety and that security firm employee who is sitting there and did not press the button on time in the gutted remains of the winter cherry shopping center those investigators are trying to piece together what happened and how blocks fire exits and nonfunctioning alarm system and the slow emergency

response might have contributed to the deaths of so many children and families relaxing on a sunday afternoon five people have been charged the director and the technical director of the mall have already appeared in court they insist all safety inspections and training were done by the book rusher is no stranger to horrible tragedy so it's quite difficult to put one's finger exactly on what it is about of this one that's made people so hurt and angry perhaps the high number of children dead is a factor but also too i think the belief amongst many russians that corruption and bureaucratic indifference on just nuisances they can be devastatingly fatal to. a country's systemic failings are often most exposed by disaster and it's the failings of eighteen years of putin's rule that are on display just as he begins his fourth and potentially last in office retaliates al-jazeera moscow. well

let's discuss this and more with samuel queen he's director of the russia in situ to king's college london thanks very much for coming in to speak to us so as you saying there have been protests in america and solidarity elsewhere in the country as well do you see anger over this tragedy leading to a period of sustained protests perhaps. i mean it's really hard to say a lot of it's going to be down to really how well the investigation of the information around the investigation is handled there are a lot of questions both about this case and about why when these things happen lessons are not always learned i mean obviously these things happen around the world immigrant full towers here in london last summer right so. what people will be looking to see is that there is clarity about the number of victims about exactly why this happened about why people were locked in rooms why the sprinkler system wasn't working why the alarm wasn't signaled and that sort of thing and you

mentioned that investigations haven't been open and transparent in the past because of the way information is being is communicated between people because of the conversations that are emerging on social media and because of the emotion over what has happened will they have to change the way they approach this well i think they may have to remember the reality is there isn't a lot of trust the reality is there's already rumors going around that maybe it wasn't sixty something casualties but but maybe in the hundreds and it's not going to be enough just to say that's not true or there's going to be how it's going to have to be something demonstrative there's going to have to be some kind of an effort actually including people both in the immediate investigation but then also in in the. the inquiries and other investigations that come to think about how this can be prevented in the future because we used to sing a very self-assured at confident president putin whether it's on the international stage or whether it how worried will he be about this

on a personal level well he did go out there i think in previous tragedies we've actually seen him remain quiet for a couple of days in this case he actually. went out himself he was a little bit more forward than he tends to be i think he is trying to be visible and sensitive he's coming first of criticism around the pictures for example of him laying flowers at memorial and in cambridge or in which he was alone they cleared the square right now to just stand there and maybe not the optic that. that he would want to to present maybe if he had that to do over again now and president putin we know derives much of his mandate from the strong man approach in confronting the west but in. being the man who will protect the interests of his people. has this dealt a blow to his personal image well you will have to see but the reality is he has

emerged as the one symbol of this political community that isn't credibly valuable to many russians and that's where his legitimacy comes from right that does give him a lot of strength vary but in a moment in which the ability of that community to take care of people to take care people's children is called into question that that does provide some risk but i would caution against at this point reading too much in even spending too much time talking about. the politics of this i mean i've been. in a russia for four for quite some time there's been a lot of of tragedies and i've never seen any kind of response that was as raw as emotional and as painful as this has been to watch. thank you very much samuel green from the russia institute at king's college london well let's move to other developments now nato has joined in the mass expulsion of russian diplomats in support of the u.k.'s action following the souls we know of agent attack secretary-general again stoltenberg says they are reducing the size of russia's

nato mission from thirty to twenty australia island moldova and belgium of also join the list of nations expelling russian officials taking it to twenty six stoltenberg says nato has measures are the result of a series of russian actions and of course what triggered this was the source for an attack but it is part of a broader response by nato allies to a path of unacceptable unacceptable and dangerous behavior by russia. we have seen the illegal annexation of crimea we have see in the east of the station of eastern ukraine we have seen cyber attacks we have seen the hybrid tactics we have seen russia are investing heavily in modern military equipment and the willingness to use military force against neighbors or russia continues to strongly deny any involvement in the soulsby attack the foreign minister sergei lavrov promised

a strong response to the mass expulsion of diplomats and criticized both the u.s. and the u.k. . but you to use in your words the wish that we will respond on down to only because nobody wants to tolerate switchboards behavior and we won't either we know this is the result of colossal pressure causal blackmail which is now unfortunately the main tool of washington on the international arena. now facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg reportedly plans to testify before congress over social network's role in harvesting millions of users data without their knowledge facebook and the data analytics from cambridge analytic are at the center of a raw of the way postal information was used to influence the outcome of the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election. turned down requests to be questioned in britain's parliament. well the whistleblower at the heart of the scandal has been giving evidence to british m.p.'s christopher wiley said data gathered unlawfully was used to manipulate people in the u.k. to vote to leave the european union summit now calling for the brics that

referendum to be declared null and void or insular reports. christopher what his extraordinary relations are now casting a shadow over democratic elections on both sides of the atlantic here he was speaking to a u.k. government committee explaining how he knew that public opinion had been unlawfully manipulated before the referendum which is leading to the u.k. leaving the european union to irrevocably alter the constitutional settlement of this country on fraud is a mutilation of the constitutional settlement of this country and you cannot hold yourself a lever you cannot call yourself somebody who believes in british law and and win by breaking british law in order to achieve that. while essential claims of the campaign group to leave the european union hired an offshoot of cambridge analytic the data mining company accused of harvesting personal details of millions of people through facebook and manipulating opinions in an attempt to put donald trump

in the white house the company he said had subverted elections for its own aims in countries including nigeria and trinidad now it was doing the same in the u.k. the company will send out billions of people being murdered to intimidate voters this is the company that goes out and tries to illicitly acquire you know live internet browsing data of everyone in an entire country so i think a lot of questions should be asked about the role of patriotic here in this election and whether they were indeed actually complying with the law here to answer they said had already been claimed to leave campaign broke u.k. election law by using campaign funds on lawfully allegations the leave camp denies but in an emergency debate in parliament m.p.'s hostile to bricks it's have begun to demand the referendum results be declared null and void inherently untrustworthy if the allegations are true that

a potentially six hundred two. and she five thousand pounds was spent illegally in a very focused targeted campaign which by definition would been focused on targeted on a very small number of people then i think it's very hard to predict the the effect that that would have passed the law is to new york and nobody is that both at least one prominent m.p. who backs the leave campaign said he agreed with the need for a criminal inquiry so it ended up in a situation where you get newspaper headlines like this questioning not just the ethical value but the sheer legality of the vote to leave the european union of course supporters of bricks it would say the entire thing is a made up plot to discredit the democratic decision but in this hall of mirrors it's becoming increasingly difficult to know what's real and what's fake lawrence lee al-jazeera westminster in london joining me now via skype from san francisco is

enough read here is the chief technology correspondent for access in an american news website thank you very much for speaking to us so i'm pretty shocking revelations we heard from whistleblower christopher widely today how would you describe the impact this is having on facebook now both now and potentially in the future. well i think there's three big clouds hanging over facebook now and there are potentially going to pass but they're all significant and could affect the company one is to consumers leaves you know there was a brief you know delete facebook movement obviously if that were to gain steam or even if people were to use the site less that would be a big issue the other advertisers obviously that's where facebook gets its money if advertisers were to decide to leave it but then the third which has come out the most lately is regulation to government step in and limit the kinds of data that facebook can collect or the types of permission it has to get and that's really where a lot of this comes in of whether mark zuckerberg will have to testify right and

that's exactly what he is worried about is we're seeing efforts by facebook to try and preempt that and get ahead of the problem but what are your expectations of his testimony to the u.s. congress. i think there's a growing realization in the inside and outside of facebook that likely he will need to testify that you know regardless of whether there's others at the company that have expertise people want to hear from him and i think now it's pretty much a question of which committee and when rather than asked and what about potential fines because we have seen. the facebook's market value being impacted by this but it's not seen as particularly significant could they end up paying significant financial penalties in the coming months and years. there is a risk the biggest risk in the u.s. is probably with the federal trade commission where the facebook is already operating under a consent decree so in this case if the federal trade commission were to find that

facebook did violate that consent decree they could have to pay a lot of money because it's or incidents and there would be lots and lots of incident you know typically the fines aren't usually the biggest thing that impact the company usually it's changes in behavior that have the biggest impact but certainly fines could be significant if in fact ultimately that were the finding of regulators and what about users and well general public all over the world we've seen this extend well beyond the u.k. in the u.s. what can be done in terms of regulation both nationally and globally to prevent wrongful exploitation of users data. certainly i mean there could be new rules or legislation about how the data can be used i think facebook would be quick to bring up the fact that they did have rules and what happened with cambridge analytic was the company violated their rules obviously there could be more explicit user permissions where

a user actually has to give more granular permission each time their data is used certainly the e.u. is already moving ahead with g.d.p. are a series of privacy regulations we could see something similar similar data protection laws proposed potentially considered in the united states as well which would have an impact not just on facebook but on a lot of big tech especially companies like google and facebook and twitter that get their money through advertising ina fried in san francisco thank you very much thanks man. coming out for you on this news hour from london france's president promises to crack down on anti semitism following the mind of a holocaust survivor. zimbabwe school teachers threaten to storm the president's office over that what we've and says. and iraq and syria meet in the last match of the twenty eighteen international friendship championship tatiana will have the details and.

president and senior adviser jared kushner is facing more investigations into his business practices white house officials are looking into the legality of two loans totaling more than five hundred million dollars mate acushla is married to trump's daughter ivanka and as patty call him reports it's not the only investigation into his dealings with jared kushner often seen but rarely heard always at the center of power but also controversy and now once again facing questions about meetings he had at the white house with business c.e.o.'s who soon after loaned his family company hundreds of millions of dollars his lawyer tells al-jazeera the white house counsel's office did look into the meetings but says they quote concluded there were no issues involved in jared there have been plenty of issues surrounding the president's son in law the f.b.i. recently said he wouldn't be given clearance to see the nation's top secrets they

didn't say what their investigation uncovered but there have been constant questions about his family's business and his role in the government much of it goes back to this manhattan building six six six fifth avenue at the height of the housing bubble kirshner paid a staggering record setting amount for it one point eight billion dollars next february he has to come up with six hundred million dollars or risk losing the building his father admits meeting with qatari officials about a possible investment. there are reports cutter said no something cushion or denies but its belief special counsel robert muller is looking into the meeting to find out if his business deals are affecting foreign policy not long after the meeting president donald trump came out strongly on the side of countries blockading cutter and their reports other countries have been caught talking about being able to exploit kushner's inexperience and financial issues for their advantage. is also central to the ongoing investigation into potential collusion between the trump

campaign and russia during the transition he met with then russian ambassador to the u.s. and asked to set up a secret back channel to moscow one the rest of the u.s. government couldn't hear he said it was to talk syria and there is a new focus on his role in the campaign he ran the digital operation and now congressional investigators want to know how they used cambridge analytical and facebook to target voters there are many questions about businesses role in the campaign and time in the white house all things that muller will likely try to answer petty calling al-jazeera washington to white police officers who shot and killed a black man in the u.s. state of louisiana in two thousand and sixteen be charged state officials say the police officers had good reason to believe that thirty seven year old alton styling was and was resisting arrest as death was one of a number of killings of african-americans to spot the black lives mass movement. a

quick look at the top stories now have been read protests on the streets of america in the east and russia after sixty four people forty one of them children were killed in a fire at a shopping center five people have now been charged. nato has joined the mass expulsion of russian diplomats in the wake of the alleged nerve agent attack in the u.k. saying there are costs and consequences for its behavior. and facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg will testify before congress following his website's mass data breach. russia's defense ministry says thirteen thousand fighters and their

families have left syria's eastern ghouta over the past three days they are heading to the remaining rebel held area evacuations a part of the deal struck between the rebels and the syrian government ally russia under has more from beirut. ahmed says he never carried arms against the syrian government but some of his family members belong to the five rebel faction that's one of the reasons why he left his home in eastern huta as part of the surrender deal reached with the pro-government alliance the other reason is his opposition to reconciling with a government that has killed so many people. every family in lost a family member i lost a lot of friends i lost a colleague who was among the twenty six who died in the famous airstrike i lost two children that i was teaching at school we decided to move away from this brutal regime. ahmed now lives in

a mosque is among some eight hundred thousand people who have been displaced from what was once the rebel controlled enclave in the suburbs of damascus many of those deported to adlib opposition controlled province in the northwest are fighters. is one of them the rebels controlled since late two thousand and twelve but months later it was besieged by government forces. and it's sad that we lost this battle after seven years of remaining steadfast after so many sacrifices we had to surrender because of the civilians they killed many children the hospitals were out of service anyone injured would die slowly. camps are being set up for syria's newly displaced the refugee camps are overstretched this is a province with a population of one million displaced people and local communities are struggling to cope. when rebels are defeated they go to adlib those who don't want to live under the rule of president bashar assad also move to live but there is nowhere

safe in that province airstrikes continue to hit nonmilitary targets such as schools and health facilities the rebels arrived with their light weapons it's not clear if they will join the ranks of the armed factions of adlib where there has been rebel fighting. left not before the all said regime for seven years but no food no water no medicine until the regime of the russians launched a barbaric campaign we promised the opposite regime that we will return we will liberate the area there are those who refused to admit defeat but the loss of east is the worst setback for the opposition since it was forced to surrender the eastern part of aleppo city in two thousand and sixteen after a similar military campaign. beirut u.s. ambassador nikki haley is rebuked the u.n. security council over syria saying the failure of a thirty day ceasefire should be a day of shame for its members but russia which use its veto to prevent the council

from doing more than seeing to concerned by a criticism i would ask my security council colleagues to consider whether we are wrong when we point to russian and iranian forces working alongside assad as being responsible for the slaughter russia voted for the so-called cease fire in syria last month more than that russia took its time painstakingly negotiating the resolution demanding the cease fire and if you watched closely during the negotiations we could see our russian friends constantly leaving the room to confirm with their syrian counterparts the. iran's revolutionary guard has denied saudi accusations that its arming who see rebels in yemen fired several missiles across the border on sunday targeting saudis capital riyadh iran has been accused of sending weapons to the who sees in the past but a report by the iranian news agency tasneem close the revolutionary guard is saying

yemenis are capable of producing their own weapons now egyptian authorities have been trying to boost turnout on the second day of the presidential election by warning people that they risk being fined if they don't vote the opposition is people to boycott the election which the incumbent president abdel fatah sisi is predicted to win is only challenger is a little known politician who's one of his supporters. omar sure is a president is a professor of security studies at the doha institute he says a high turnout is very important to the government which is going to great lengths to make sure that people actually vote and that's why you have most of the state sponsored medio the state owned media and the private media urging voters to come you have religious faith was saying that if you did not vote to you are a joke which means i had to take off some sort. of more or less the nationalist media saying that if you do not vote then you are treated to

a lot of pressure on the electorate in general fifty nine million of them to turn vote thing is we know that egypt. with these very widespread during the the only time when there was like real elections real free and fair elections was between twenty seven and twenty thirteen the maximum that went to vote back then was twenty six million in the parliamentary elections of twenty years twelve twenty seven to twelve. well egyptian egypt's opposition movements a shadow of their former selves the april sixth group was at the heart of the twenty eleven revolution that ended in hosni mubarak's resignation but since then the youth movements members have been persecuted with many of them arrested blogger abdel fattah another prominent young pro-democracy activists from that time has been in prison for almost five years mohamed el baradei of the disturbed party once headed the un's nuclear watchdog he became egypt's interim vice president in two thousand and thirteen but lost only a month in the job sanding down after

a police crackdown on protests like many of egypt's opposition he now lives abroad then there's the long time opposition group the muslim brotherhood it came late to the revolution and one of its senior members mohamed morsi went on to become egypt's first democratically elected president in two thousand and twelve but within a year he'd been removed from power and imprisoned and now the muslim brotherhood has been outlawed as a terrorist organization most of its leadership are in prison or a broad range of aid has more. there was a small window of democracy in egypt a long history of strong when backed by the military that was in two thousand trilled and mohamed morsi was sworn in but the triumph of egypt's first democratically elected president and the party he represents the muslim brotherhood lasted just twelve months. the largest representative of political sunni islam in egypt is now labeled by the state as

a terrorist organization which the brotherhood denies there's no room for any kind of political practice nobody is allowed to express his opinion nobody is allowed to field him self as a candidate in as a serious candidate in front of sisi the military controls everything. the muslim brotherhood has been on the hit list of egyptian rulers for nearly a century has an alumna the first guy general was believed to have been killed by egyptian secret police in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine. despite supporting the nursery who became president the brotherhood was banned in one nine hundred fifty four dozens of members were arrested or escaped another brotherhood leaders say it but it was hanged on the orders of president. throughout the one nine hundred eighty s. efforts by the muslim brotherhood to become a political force failed. it wasn't until the removal of hosni mubarak in two thousand and eleven that the brotherhood's freedom and justice party was elected for the first time along with president mohamed morsi who's now on death row for

ordering the killing of protesters. just a year after taking charge he was removed in a military coup led by the current president of the fatah and sisi morsi supporters accused the so-called deep state especially within the military hierarchy of not allowing the muslim brotherhood government to function in that single year after the first fully democratic election the main mistake is actually handing over their responsibility of managing the transitional period after the revolution after ousting hosni mubarak handing over this power to to the military took to the military and the military had all the time in order to abort the achievements of the revolution and. like other military rulers of egypt sisi has ordered the jailing of thousands of brotherhood supporters and successfully lobbied regional backers to declare the group as a terrorist organization. exiled members and brotherhood supporters say the ruling clique is suppressing moderate voices and warn that could result in an extreme

reaction in egypt. osama bin of there. well now the asia pacific region is the most vulnerable in the world when it comes to water insecurity population growth and urbanization of drastically increased demand the region is home to sixty percent of the world's population and fifty percent of the poorest agriculture uses up eighty percent of water resources by two thousand and thirty the region is expected to have twenty two cities of ten million people or more and in thirty years also three point four billion people are expected to be living in water scarce areas well florence louis looks now the challenges facing policymakers in the region as some of the solutions on offer here's her report now from second chan in malaysia. water we all depend on it we need it for drinking washing and growing the food we eat. on the west coast of peninsular

thank you very much australia cricket captain steve smith as well as vice captain david warner and cameron bancroft will be sent home in disgrace from their tour of south africa on wednesday cricket australia have suspended the three with an announcement of more sanctions to come in the next twenty four hours captain smith admitted to cheating during the last test against south africa and use bancroft as part of a ball tampering strategy one has been found to also have prior knowledge of the incident coach darren lehmann is that dabbler had no prior knowledge of the plan and pain will take over as the captain in regard to the roof replies on report i want to stress that we are contemplating significant sanctions in each size the sanctions will reflect the gravity with which we view what has occurred and the

damage it is done to the standing of destroy israel. well i don't think that many cricket fans in australia sports fans in australia the people of australia in general would accept a situation where the punishments are anything other than severe this is probably their darkest day ever in sport it really has rattled the nation it's caused a lot of interest around the globe as well it's been extremely humiliating and embarrassing not just for the team but for the sports fans of the country over around and therefore it's a very difficult situation for james sutherland and australian cricket bosses to be in they know they've got to be very tough with this you can see how angry they are themselves although they made some of the appointments involved i mean so significant sanctions are coming up will the fact that for instance the coach darren lehmann is still there will it be far enough for some people however long a ban may be for the captain steve smith whatever punishment comes down to david

warner whatever they do with cameron bancroft how can the coach linemen not of known at all about this behavior was it really an isolated incident he's been in charge for a few years and there's a bigger picture here with lehmann and this is truly insane of being deeply unpopular it's their behavior not just the ball tampering saw him carrying on might send out the one message i think or breach dreamy controversial in its own way you could hear from james sutherland that they want to get back to a situation or strongly and people are proud of their cricket say and that's going to take a long time cricket writer telford if i think very hard to believe that coach darren lehmann couldn't have been part of the leadership group who went ahead with the decision to tamper with the ball. i believe you are leaving as a huge personality and that he. is not has been linked to this it was just broke

it's very difficult to believe but don't leave it was not in a boat house this drought is going to hold on to somebody so yes it is going to be everybody else that is ready as right. tennis now and former u.s. open champion sloane stephens as volatile to the miami open the semifinals the american twenty five year old thrash the former wild number one german and chile the six two six two with the score the stevens first semifinal since winning last year's u.s. open. american john isner advance through to the quarterfinals of the when i over quasars myron challenged us to be the second seed in straight sets off to putting in a dominant serving before men's seven six six three was the school. and canadian army last round it also came out on top of his match to make it into the quarter final stage round of raising past frenchman jeremy shaadi in straight sets six three and the full. now a momentous occasion for football in iraq as they've concluded hosting an

the south of baghdad the capital city is still not allowed to hold competitive games from faithful because of the security situation now speaking to football fans in the capital city they understand that there is problems with baghdad but they say if iraq is truly to be an international footballing nation then games need to take place in baghdad. take and a small rural village those producing some of the walls the best long distance runners the koji live in the central ethiopia and at least eight olympic medalists while title and wild record holders come from that stephanie deco went out find out why. it's barely seven o'clock in the morning but these two are already late. coach entire she too is busy warming up his students something he has done here in the for the past thirty years

this rule diligence almost three thousand metres above sea level in the highlands is that first glance just like any other but world class athletes are born and bred here. and given the group from that work to the security of their determination and their how to book and all sorts of weather for instance if you bring them out late from somewhere else it would be difficult for them to please a fleece for the first few weeks once he gets used to teach he would be fine and then. once you get back to the ground level it will be much easier. there's been a lot of debate and research as to why this small rural villages produce so many world class long distance runners now one thing is certain the dedication and determination of these young men and women to make it and it's very possible that you'll be seeing one or more of them at future world sporting events. according to coach entire u. seventeen year old messer taffeta is one to watch we ask her about her dreams in my

second and my dream like other successful athletes from my village like turner and good and others i want to run in the olympics and i want to break the records and i can see that in my dreams. for many running offers the only way out of this village life can be difficult children tend to cattle and help take care of the family from an early age there is incredible pride in those who went from here to international sporting fame. and that can be seen at the local government office proudly displayed on the wall posters of local heroes limbic medalist and world record holders. tell you shows us his training log book at home we wish you the. entries for tour and from when she was thirteen years old she is now the five thousand meter world record holder and remains the youngest ever female world champion winning gold at just eighteen. this these role models that

are inspiring this new generation all the determined but not all will make it the coach says it's essentially down to hard work that something many of these teenagers are already used to further inspired by the fact that dreaming big in this small village berlin big golden world records really can come true stephanie decker. in central ethiopia. for now it's not about samarium any london lovely thank you our experts in the netherlands a using their skills to help the country acknowledged all of its colonial legacy a leading museum in amsterdam has been investigating precious objects taken from former colonies has more from amsterdam. it's beauty could almost make you forget it's. in the nineteenth century this diamond hung around the neck of this. when he died dutch troops fighting to control and brought to die infected in

it's disastrous for doing history i think it's far better to accept that things in the past were different from today and more relative today could be viewed differently and a hundred years time it's widely argued that historical art up to acts like the diamond have been your marcin help us understand our place in history but also reflect our understanding of ourselves today while museums struggle with how to display them governments will have to determine where these artifacts actually belong fair announced book al-jazeera amsterdam. but i will be back in just a couple of minutes with much more the day's these. fires
