ninety one shots how to be armenian to feeling that i have has could drupal today because without a drop of blood we had our victory. their whole bit eight twenty eight seen it will finally be the day the government response to the will of the people really republican party has dominated the political system and society for at least a decade during that time former president serzh sarkisian became viewed as an authoritarian leader who broke his promise not to become the next prime minister when his term and. it april longtime opposition leader to go. began marching across the country with a handful of people in weeks tens of thousands filled the streets from the capital to smaller cities turkey c. and resigned on tuesday the parliament elected him as prime minister. and you can see this is our day of victory the person who created the spinor me new movement is

nicole and he will allow us to live it courage and peace. i find out that she is writing a tidal wave of popular support the hope is this election will provide armenia with a second chance at establishing a liberal democracy the tashi to name. your of an army. robin for us it will cause joins us live from. overlooking republic square i can see protesters still out last celebrating outside parliament but he has been addressing the crowd was even sang. like to put nothing else out there but more to believe the visit is desirable by going on with somebody had the idea was about to go and had a truck full of money from the mt seems to have it from my outside up the road this

is going to be the big global fight deliberates of but yet they go bust yet made it to the days and address the crowd who were already there will that you'd like to be told them that is a victory that you would go with victory. is election and frightening is that it with their victories not high but the games will still have chosen to have been but i have got to say this is the place that he is now right down as leader of our media. and it will be the tension within the light from this day on it's up to the public the people to be the nobody you know living in the president right that is the old head being moderate and then all of those officials with the old ways the people say this is about to say that of the enemies of a democratic republic and that is a goal to be in the swing reinvigorate lead told with full why this election is

today in the fall of the dollar left all the gold has brought a very. progressive that he has for about will at the time she was referring to the removal of the product you make the. following the crowd said which rolled beneath message id's was just. door and opportunity so that he hides charisma was only that but it's a pretty and a very clear idea about what he will be the do next i think that is now the question is how he's going to run the global dauber the idea we rooted in the world with the tools that he has with the group which with how it's going to channel that is the delivering the change that he will. you know media that the army of people was absolutely because he was saying privatize i was speaking to a that this is the easy bit all nice and now the next phase is what presents the

real challenge is to what all the obstacles that stand i'm passing on the way. you know people i think think that somebody in the long involved. say this is the but this is this is the result without prejudice like the jesus in the hundred days because they did this and i was with so many people and such is still very much of his politics to see this is going to make you the posts. around the collapse of the soviet union. with very little to do with all because on the spirit was even mostly operative there was a break in the late sixty's and then the conflict with us about john paul two will cost the sixty votes big pope was acquitted care about but that it was still a result of the sixty's. and i think god media's. people for everybody who would be watching this how do you see the broken boldly going away

you see with veterans police raising a lot of trade between those like your bigoted their egos of people they care about that's what moves forward for the issues another is how to get rid of the oligarchs to. deal with the leverage in iraq typically to show you that i intended to go purchase the caps are they ok robin goodfellow for telling over those crowds that well even though that playboy has called celebrate magic to that end i mean yes. now a little drama is just hours away from announcing whether the united states will stay in the iran nuclear deal yes president tweeted on monday that he will be making a declaration at the white house days ahead of a deadline for him to extend a wave of sanctions against iran some u.s. democratic party stands as of recent a drop in a last attempt to stop him from walking away from the deal and this follows a flurry of high level meetings in washington between u.s. officials and european allies who fear trump will make

a mistake head of this much waste decision iran's president said to iran will stand on its own feet for godless whether it faces new sanctions. as rules out this government's plan from day one has been based on having honest good constructive and effective interactions with the world as we consider this a win win situation useful for others and for us as well well it may result that in some exceptional situations from time to time someone may take power in a country and cause an exceptional situation these kinds of things happen on the world stage and we will get past it we may have problems for two or three months but anyway we will get past the problem our basic policy of having constructive interactions is working with the world that is large oil output has held to ransom five decades of economic isolation and it's something that iran's leaders hope they can do again same reports from. from this

fairground it's difficult to tell that iran is going through a diplomatic crisis. iran's leaders are highlighting the merits of the country's century old oil industry and they're looking for foreign investment to the tune of two hundred billion dollars. all right now i have a recommendation for foreign companies that are here if these companies want to have an important role in the market of iran in the region they should try to cooperate with iranian companies and do their job as they have chosen iran as a partner iran is not a country one could overlook in the global market and energy sector they may delay or development but relying on enormous domestic potential god willing we will continue our plans. but in the face of u.s. sanctions it's a hard sell the fate of the joint comprehensive plan of action more commonly known as the twenty fifteen nuclear deal has become the most important factor for doing business with iran but the issue is so provocative no one was willing to speak about it on camera there are many european countries represented here but the birds

are smaller than they were in previous years especially right after the nuclear two it was. many of the exhibitors we spoke to say they like doing business with iranians and see an enormous potential in iran's market but for now no big deals are being signed and no one is making any real money it would seem that scare tactics by washington are having the desired effect. iranian companies here are worried about more bad economic weather but say this is just the storm before the calm beneath the. international companies to come to iraq but the absence of them stated we can not on the trade or existing facilities but developed or it just fits. companies like this one operated by the iranian revolutionary guard corps will no doubt continue to play an important part in the country's economic strategies have

a ruse misson are on the go you about horny than you are every day americans make a new excuse they want to conclude every use you in a way to benefit themselves so should we give up with well no we are a powerful country with great resources in the world for example in all in gas we rank first and this is also true about other resources iran's growth potential makes it a difficult market for investors to ignore so there is some optimism. one businessman told us there is always a light at the end of the tunnel but the burning of bridges between washington into her own is only making that tunnel longer same bus ravi old zero to one. saudi arabia says trying to resolve the disagreement over a yemeni island which is occupied by troops from the united arab emirates protesters also capture in the arabian sea and the montague forces me their ride last wednesday forcing out yemeni soldiers hammer aussies allies the saudis that coalition say that confronting her rebels on it's

there are g.e. is a member of the parliamentary transparency commission which looks at deals done by iraq's government and any allegations of corruption he says it's one of many examples of corrupt deal making. to our financial experts estimate from two thousand and three until now more than three hundred twenty billion u.s. dollars went missing and is untraceable most of this money went through corrupt contracts one example is a check warplanes steal the price tag for each jet is nine hundred seventy five thousand u.s. dollars but the iraqi government purchased them for thirteen million u.s. dollars for each one the reason for the corruption he says. simple. there are no investigative institutions that hold accountable those corrupt iraqis have a saying that goes much unprotected money in carriages theft it's not just the major

cases of corruption that concern erakat is cronyism and nepotism permeates all levels of society and you don't have to go far in baghdad to hear those stories business owners have long complained that the system favors those who pay bribes and have contacts. corruption is serious in iraq one simple example is that import of goods and groceries the dental from kuwait saudi arabia u.a.e. on the rest of the region our government does not encourage national products or supporting iraqi farmers this is where corruption is apparent government officials make money from those contracts with those countries and it's always to me if at least my wife has graduated from the seven years ago and she still got a government job due to. political analysts who research corruption cases in iraq say it's too late to get the stolen money back. no one can eradicate corruption it runs deep in the iraqi institutions but whoever the new prime minister is could

make a fresh start that could prevent any more corruption but what has been done in the past cannot be compensated eradicated ovoid against anymore in two thousand and seventeen two thousand arrest warrants were issued in iraq on corruption charges two hundred ninety people have been arrested and so far cases are going through the courts but the still anger from many in iraq over corruption allegations and politicians are regularly criticized on social media for serving only their own interests fighting that perception will be a challenge iran can al-jazeera baghdad. commanders in nigeria have confirmed the rescue of more than a thousand hostages mainly women and children were released from several villages in borno state along with some gunmen and said the armed group forced them to fight in the war baccarat has killed tens of thousands of people over the past nine years the plight of thousands without food and shelter is being discussed by governors from chad and cameroon at

something governments in the region want to stop they say the recent spike in violence requires a look beyond providing aid something they want to address in a regional meeting in nigeria we need it holistic approach that looks at the short term humanitarian it's but also try to start supporting those middlemen on the only record real development in these that are so critical to find the solution to this crisis the lake chad region is one of the poorest in the world despite its vast agricultural and water resources i doubt by boko haram have made the situation worse thousands than employed in a region already struggling with poverty and lack of jobs this company produces solar panels and equipment it's one of eleven factories being set up by government in borno state quantum started the government invested millions of dollars in the hope of creating jobs for an improved youth group that is repeatedly targeted by for across. its investments like these borders want to promote across the region

east nigeria. sri lanka's parliament is sitting for the first time since it was suspended by the president last month microprocessors that i made the move after divisions in his ruling coalition. reports politically there will be some things to watch the group of ministers that were from the president's party and voted for the no confidence motion against the prime minister choosing to cross the will of the house to the opposition they say they will sit as a separate group not to join the my in the rajapaksa group and the joint opposition but sit as a separate group and support present my policy to say in the government those left over have sort of regrouped there's been a cabinet reshuffle to distribute some of the portfolios that were held by that group that has left the government and very much to be seen how the government maps out its way forward the infighting is something that it will have to get over the

president taking everybody again by surprise at a political rally yesterday saying that contrary to what many people feel that he will retire in twenty twenty to say that he still has a lot of political life left in him so a lot of things to see over the coming months colombia's war crimes tribunal looking at atrocities committed during a five decade long war has begun operations and comes a year after the signing of a historic peace agreement between the former fox rebels and the government but as aren't around the reports it's unlikely to heal the wounds that deeply divided the country. the judges of colombia's new transitional justice tribunal are hard at work collecting testimony and evidence from victims of crimes committed by all sides during fifty years of brutal conflict with fark rebels it's a colossal task and controversial because the judges are restricted in how they can punish the guilty tribunals president says the goal is to obtain some sense of

justice is done. you can expect to follow the logic of an ordinary justice model putting is simply an eye for an eye what we're trying to do is a way to reconstruct and recover the social fabric destroyed by war i understand some might not see it as proportional to the crimes committed but it's a necessary compromise for any sort of justice to happen. this special jurisdiction for peace was part of the two thousand and sixteen peace deal between the government and five gravels fark leaders are now part of a legal political party and will be required to recount their party more atrocities tell the truth and avoid prison instead spend anywhere up to an eight year sentence of community service rebuilding roads or schools. military and paramilitary commanders responsible for human rights violations are also expected to testify and

be judged the victim's associations for years are tribunals laxity. i hope these judges will look at the human toll of the actions that were committed and decide that they must apply real justice we just fear there will be too much tolerance towards those responsible for such cruel atrocious and inhumane crimes that you know. the judges are currently reviewing tens of thousands of possible cases even as rank and file former five gravels testify about their crimes this part of their amnesty program. i prefer not to talk ever again about what has happened but i understand it has to be done is an opportunity for people like me but also for the country as a whole violence leaves nothing only orphans and widows we don't want this for the future of colombia. the search for accountability will continue for at least the next decade as colombia struggles to move past this conflict and the tribunals hopes to become de essential tool for truth and reconciliation and listen to them.
