a par with each other he got global recognition and regard he's the big winner and we got this letter from the president saying ok never mind he must be having a giggle fit right there now and north korea and telling young it's unfortunate because as you say you want to be optimistic and to be hopeful that something can come of something the french president expressed his willingness to help bring the u.s. and north korea back to the negotiating table left wanted to throw them all this because the france is prepared to help in this work but i think it is also for the international community and its entirety in a multilateral context and perhaps for the united nations to play a special role and so i hope that this is just an incident within the process which must continue and of which we know the ultimate aim which is coherent with our international aims and is vital for the region so i hope we do not stop there but

money a backing no for religious reasons the catholic church that once dominated irish society strongly opposes it from the moment of conception until natural death catholics believe that human life is sacred and therefore worthy of protection when it comes to the issue off the the on board we believe that worthy off special protection and law but increasingly even people with religious beliefs are choosing a different path helped by political leaders like the country's prime minister who fax a change of the law. the government's proposed allowing unlimited access to abortions during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy subject to medical advice if the referendum is passed for many of this debate that's a step too far both sides say they're seeking a compassionate. to a difficult question. the referendum asks voters whether they want to repeal an article in the constitution known as the eighth amendment

the law gives unborn fetuses the same right to life as the mother this effectively banned them from terminating the pregnancy abortions are only allowed when the mother's life is at risk otherwise they could be jailed for up to fourteen years if voters choose to repeal the amendment the irish government has vowed to introduce legislation to allow abortion within the first twelve weeks of pregnancy island and some of the most restrictive abortion laws in europe matched by poland which only allows terminations in rare cases in malta abortions are completely banned police in canada are searching for most of after a bomb explosion in an indian restaurant fifteen diners were injured three seriously in the city of mississauga near toronto to take his are starting security camera video of two men entering the restaurant with their faces covered to be transported fifteen. c. . as mysteriously as patients went to trial so. that

the jet came from a russian military unit let's get more from roy chalons who's in sindh petersburg it's early days one just wondering if there's any were a reaction or if not what's likely to be. well the russians at the moment are reacting to the press conference that was given by the joint investigation team yesterday we haven't as yet had anything regarding this specific accusation from the netherlands and from the australians but what the russians have been saying through. the president through the defense ministry and through to the foreign ministry as well is that essentially this investigation is biased that it's been using discredited information that's come from the ukrainian secret services that's been cobbled together through various open source online.

sources and also bloody made putin said yesterday when he was speaking about it in a press conference with your macro on the the french president that the russia had been excluded from the joint investigation team itself now there is actually a legitimate reason why that is the case the joint investigation team is made up of countries who lost nationals in the mh seventeen downing russia didn't therefore it has not been invited to take part in russia also blocks a u.n. investigation which is why the j.i.t. is investigating this in the first place it i think there were lots of countries who actually wanted this to be done under the auspices of the united nations that was something that russia didn't want to happen so you know we're getting responses from russia it's essentially the same thing that we've heard from russia for the

last four years this this was nothing to do with moscow moscow has no role in what it calls a civil war going on in eastern ukraine it certainly didn't provide the system the defense ministry has said. miss. system that was shown in the press conference yesterday this missile which had a production number showing that it was made in the in the u.s.s.r. in one thousand nine hundred six well russia says the russian defense ministry says it has no missiles operational dating from that time all of its missiles for its books have been decommissioned long ago so we're getting a similar pattern from russia at the moment which essentially is deny deny deny ok thank you another saadi activist has been arrested following last week's crackdown on women's rights defenders mohamed el reside is a founder member of the at ac probably rights group several people associated with

the women's rights movement have been detained and accused of serious crimes the crackdown was launched just weeks before a ban on women driving is due to be lifted indonesia's introducing tough new anti-terrorism laws parliament approved the changes on friday following a series of suicide bomb attacks earlier this month more than twenty people were killed in indonesia second largest city. two families linked to eisele carried out the attacks the new laws give more power to the police and military scott hired as more from jakarta. sweeping changes to indonesia's anti-terrorism laws passed here in parliament on friday no this came after a late night negotiations through late thursday evening focused primarily on the definition of terrorism there the government and parliamentarians had a different view of what should be defined as terrorists and terrorism that was the gap was bridged and they were able to take this legislation to the floor here in parliament on friday the new laws really focus on

a few things one primarily is the prevention of terror attacks that's where previous laws were a bit weak here in this country that focuses on people who are associated who pledge allegiance who have been trained by terrorist organizations they can now be charged before an actual event has taken place a terrorist attack has been taken place but also even if they're plotting it they're able to now the government here in the legal system is able to bring people in and charge them for that so that's focused on prevention no one thing also this bill these new laws say is that the military will have a role when it comes to preventing terror attacks but the government has said to calm concerns over the military being very involved in almost all operations of terrorism the government saying only when it's big enough that they need the assistance of the military now the details of just how big that involvement will be will come in the next year where the president has to put official declaration exactly how the military will be involved that's to come but right now finally after two years before this bill fine was passed it was passed on friday here in

another thirty five million dollars has to be paid out in interest rates and pretty much by the end of this year a quarter of a billion dollars will have to be paid out and interest many malaysians are understandably angry this had previously led to protests against the previous government and it is essentially this corruption scandal that unseated the former government and brought the new government in. u.s. media say the disgraced hollywood producer harvey weinstein is expected to surrender to police in new york to face sexual assault charges more than a hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct including rape he was fired from the weinstein company following the allegations which triggered the me to movement weinstein has denied all. allegations of nonconsensual six years actress rose mcgowan was one of the first to speak out against weinstein accusing him of raping her she hopes the charges will heal her chairman says she plans to attend
