bhuvan turns himself in disgraced movie mogul harvey weinstein has been charged with rape plus. a language once banned in libya is making a comeback. story and the netherlands are holding russia legally responsible for the downing of a malaysia airlines flight over ukraine in twenty fourteen and they want russia to compensate the victims' families on thursday international investigators concluded the missile that shot down the jet came from a russian military unit all two hundred ninety eight people on board died most of them with dutch malaysian and australian citizens president vladimir putin has said that russia doesn't trust the investigation. astray in the netherlands have now informed the russian federation that we hold it responsible under international

law for its role in the bringing down of m.h. seventeen astray year and the netherlands have requested russia to enter into negotiations to open up a dialogue about its conduct and to seek reparations for the us says that it strongly supports the demands to hold russians to account of the state department says it's time for russia to acknowledge its role in the shooting down of age seventeen and to cease its callistus information campaign let's go live to us and petersburg al-jazeera swore a challenge is there rory why have the netherlands and australia taken this step now and what does it mean. well clearly for the governments of both those countries the findings that were presented. by the joint investigation team were enough to essentially spur them to take

state level action now the joint investigation team which is the international group of prosecutors looking into the destruction of m.h. seventeen in two thousand and fourteen. basically said that it was a specific brigade of the russian army the fifty third anti-aircraft missile brigade which moved a boot missile system from the base near kursk in south western russia across the ukrainian border into the conflict zone in eastern ukraine in the summer of two thousand and fourteen it was then used to shoot down seventeen and after that the book was moved back to russia again and so for australia and the netherlands this information was enough to push forward and essentially accused russia of being responsible for the deaths of all those people in the netherlands are saying this is a complex legal process essentially they want russia to talk to them to work

together to basically rip rican pen to recompense the families of those who lost people on boards that flight it's going to take some time and the netherlands are saying that perhaps the next step in the process to move this on is to go to an international court or an international organization organization of some sort or a russia is always denied involvement in both ukrainian war and the downing of m.h. seventeen is any of this likely to change that. i think not i mean we're hearing more of the same at the moment we've had four years of it essentially for the russian state saying that it has nothing to do with the downing of seventy the defense ministry in recent hours has said to the.

missile system must have been the ukrainian missile system that it had no missiles dating from one thousand eight hundred six which is when the j.i.t. said that this missile was produced. that it had no systems that it had moved across the border into ukraine the kremlin has also said that it doesn't trust the j r t s findings that russia has not been properly involved in the investigation so these kinds of denials have been going on for some time and they are continuing essentially for you know for russia this is a political culture where admitting any kind of guilt or contrition essentially seen as a sign of weakness and putin who has invested so much political capital in his image around the world as a kind of strongman leader it's basically not in his interests to back away from that back down or accept any of these findings now very many thanks.

live in st petersburg. u.s. president donald trump has called north korea's response to him canceling their summit warm and productive but expressed hope for peace june twelfth would have been the first time that a sitting u.s. president met with the north korean leader dance of growth in recent days on whether the summit would actually happen and on thursday trump canceled the historic summit in singapore with a letter north korea said it's still willing to sit down for talks with the u.s. at any time and called trump's decision extremely regrettable china has called for the u.s. and north korea to be patient and to meet each other halfway but the u.s. house minority leader nancy but nancy pelosi says that kim jong un currently has the upper hand. i think it's a good thing for kim jong un here you had a thug a person who killed all is own family members a person who has runs

a police state being legitimized by the president of the united states they were on 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 in north korea and telling young it's unfortunate because if you say you want to be optimistic you want to be hopeful that something can come of something and france's president has expressed his willingness to help bring the us north korea back to the negotiating table left wanted to this position 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

that we continue to do this vital work together with you. brian is in seoul and has reaction from the region. an intended gesture of peace in a process that may be going nowhere. the demolition of tunnels at north korea's underground nuclear testing site. it was meant to be a further step on the path to a historic summit but by the time these pictures were reaching the outside world it was already reeling from the shock of the summits cancellation. from north korea's foreign ministry a measured response calling the decision not consistent with the desire of humankind for peace and stability adding that north korea remained willing to sit down with the u.s. side to solve problems at any time from south korea disappointment verging on the

will dement. asked former vice foreign minister kim statement we see no change of a sincere will by the relevant countries when it comes to resolving the current situation through dialogue the government will continue our diplomatic efforts to further extend this momentum for the talks as part of that effort south korea's foreign minister spoke with her u.s. counterpart mike pompei or by phone she emphasized the need to build on the goodwill of the landmark into korean summit at panmunjom in april fearing months of painstaking diplomacy could now be waisted. south korean president meeting with north korean leader kim jong un had laid the groundwork for the summit well i think jane is entitled to feel fairly indignant about this whole business because he has been a leader in working with kim jong un to develop an understanding and

a way forward. in place of improving ties could there be a return to the hard line dictated by the u.s. and demanded of its east asian allies. in order for north korea to change their policies it is necessary for japan and the u.s. and south korea to apply pressure including the united nations sanctions. with the united states' call to stand firm against north korea south korea in hopes of mediating a historic breakthrough may be as shouted as the tunnels of. robert bright al-jazeera soul. not a soul as there's andrew thomas is there andrew president trump cancels the singapore summit north korea responds within the last hour president trying tweets that that response was warm and productive and he expressed his hope for peace what are we to make of it. well all day we've been getting these mixed messages right

from that letter that donald trump wrote to north korea's leader which expressed a mix of threats and praise and this is yet more of that now this is donald trump who earlier on thursday u.s. time canceled the meeting is now saying that maybe it can be put back on at some stage is what he said just within the last out of the u.s. president very good news to receive the warm and productive statement of north korea we will soon see where it will lead hopefully the long and enduring prosperity in peace only time and talent will tell well that seems to be in the spirit of what is hoped here in south korea that this is a postponement rather than a full cancellation and so you look like a full cancellation we get a tweet like that from the u.s. president so soon afterwards and perhaps things can be put back on track that's certainly the hope here in south korea and it would thing as well from the statement from the north koreans earlier on friday north korean time which is of

course what the trump was responding to in that the north korean statement they talked about wanting to do everything they could still for peace and stability there open all the time willing to sit with us and give them time and opportunity that's what donald trump was responding to so again after all this tension and violent language between the so you saw it's now this reproach more it seems between the two sides and yet the summit is not on this road and robert broad support a few moments ago south korea's president perhaps has a right to feel somewhat missed about all of this what's being made of it there what are people saying. well i think rove used the word of one of his guests played indignant and that is certainly the feeling that having been through the process of having his own meeting with kim jong il and president moon here it does fail as if the rug is being pulled from underneath him and he said earlier on friday that it was very regrettable that the summit of being canceled that his prime minister who's actually in austria again in the last hour or so has given

a statement in fact he was talking to some reporters were meeting with the austrian chancellor and he said the preliminary cancellation of this summit is very regrettable but we hope this might simply be a perspire humans and that the meeting might still happen after all that again is in this spirit that things aren't necessarily afternoon that this isn't a full on cancellation this may be a postponement rather than a full cancellation and i certainly the hope a huge disappointment there was real feeling in seoul that there was momentum and that this summit was going to be the starting point for a great new stage into korean relations and of course that seems to have gone away interestingly though a key advisor to the president here also called. an advisor to president reagan who is moving as well he thinks earlier on friday that the reasons he thinks that this summit has been perspire owns canceled perhaps is less about

the foreign language in two sides and more about the nitty gritty of what denuclearization means in practice and what should have come first it has been proven denuclearization by the north korean side actively destroying any nukes they might have before a reward concurrent with a reward or after and he thinks that in the preliminary talks that were going on here recently behind the scenes that would become a sticking point and they didn't think they could sort that out in time before and that is why this summit has been cancelled flash perspire so again he is suggesting there that if they can iron out these issues given more time than a summit may be back on the agenda given more time and are many things dangerous to live in seoul. police in new york have charged a hollywood producer harvey weinstein with rape sex abuse and other crimes against true women more than one hundred women have accused him of sexual misconduct including rape weinstein's name has become linked to the start of the me too

movement so you're gay go reports. the movie mogul who once had hollywood at his command now is forced to reckon with his past as he surrendered to police of allegations of sexual abuse and the campaigns of coersion he exerted on women the criminal case involves charges of raping one woman and forcing another to perform a sex act on him but these are not the only accusations that weinstein faces since the news broke last october of his alleged personal behavior more and more high profile actresses have since come forward to talk about their experiences with weinstein including actress rose mcgowan who publicly accused weinstein of rape is also alleged by one publication that weinstein had hired spies including full mossad agents to discredit and suppress her accusations i've had a lot of years of trauma at the hands of this man and just seeing his face everywhere he was our president and the world that i was in. and this morning i

turn on the t.v. and there is his face and this is before the news broke of his you know arraignment his impending arraignment and you know you dive for the remote trying to stop it trying to stop it and it it's just shocking it's doesn't cease to be a shock when i see is face it doesn't cease to be horrible it doesn't cease to jar me and i and i know i'm not the only one. points dean's fall from grace has such shock waves throughout the film industry and went on to galvanize the me to movement that led thousands to tell their own stories of abuse from sexual predators and the shadow of his scandal has been a presence at award ceremonies including this year's cannes film festival where actor and filmmaker has a lot of gentle recounted her own experiences in one thousand nine hundred seven i was raped by harvey weinstein he wrecked can i was twenty one years old

this festival was his hunting ground i want to make a prediction harvey weinstein will never be welcome to or ever again. a grand jury has been hearing evidence in the case for weeks and with or to use in california and london are also investigating assault allegations some of them date back to the one nine hundred eighty s. and britain has no statute of limitations on rape cases so you go. live out of washington and i'm serious kimberly how could we so briefly that harvey weinstein arriving and giving himself up in new york what's happened this morning carefully. well even more dramatic is when he accepted that police station he went in a free man walking in own accord but he left in handcuffs as any other common criminal would be treated in the united states it's just an incredible

image when you think of the power that harvey weinstein once wielded and hollywood . behind so many monumental films in the makings of so many careers but now reduced to this this image that is certain to be played on television screens repeatedly not just today but her attention for years to come now he faces a whole host of charges first and third degree rape sexual misconduct first degree sex act what happens next is he faces a judge where he will have to answer to these charges entering a plea we are told by his attorney of not guilty that all of these acts that he is accused of his attorney says were consensual and equivocally so it's likely that he will be released on a very high bond of two million dollars likely with extensive restrictions till he awaits his trial a court appearance is again but this is certainly something that is not going to

stop just in new york because as a reporter pointed out there are allegations all around the world los angeles london and investigation still ongoing so certainly this is a process that may have begun formally in terms of the justice system in new york city but is likely to continue for months if not years around the world and to what extent does it come to this down to me true movement of its movement to. well certainly it has continued to grow as our reporter pointed out that we saw very compelling stories from women that continue to come forward feeling emboldened feeling safer as a result of what has taken place but what we've also seen here in the united states adrian is that it expands beyond hollywood we've had very prominent journalists like matt lauer who was a household name every morning here in the united states losing his job as a result of accusations we've also seen actors that are now defending themselves including morgan freeman more recently so certainly well this started in hollywood

it seems to have expanded not just to two men being accused of predatory behavior because of their power in the entertainment industry but even in the ordinary workplace where many of the people who are coming forward with these allegations are saying you know i didn't have the means before because i was an immigrant i had limited english skills but are now feeling that they can be a part of this conversation as a result of what has taken place with regard to harvey weinstein or i can believe many thanks live in washington over the news from al-jazeera still to come on the program canadian police looking for a motive for a restaurant bombing that wounded fifteen people. cycling heads for after devastating the yemeni island of cultural. and sport the houston rockets are on the brink of booking their place in the n.b.a. finals we'll tell you how the. did it coming up.

voting is underway in ireland on whether to relax some of the strict abortion laws in europe prime minister. cast his vote in dublin he's back to campaign for yes votes the referendum voters whether they want. repeal an article in the constitution known as the eighth amendment that law gives unborn fetuses the same rights to life as the mother this effectively bans terminating a pregnancy abortions only allowed when the mother's life is at risk women who have an abortion risk up to fourteen years in prison if voters repeal the amendment the irish government has vowed to introduce legislation that would allow abortion during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy ireland has some of the most to stick to restrictive boy abortion laws in europe matched by poland which only allows terminations and rare cases and malta where abortions are banned completely out of

seriousness barker is live for us in dublin it's been struck described as a once in a generation vote why is it such an emotive topic in ireland. yes that's right adrian that description from leo veronica the country's prime minister it is a hugely emotive hugely divisive decision here i've seen families split down the middle there's a divide geographically between east and west between urban and rural areas between young and old largely because it pitches socially conservative values in a country that is a very conservative religiously conservative country against those that want liberal reforms on both sides of the divide believe that they're standing up for human rights. i wish people have been given an important choice in a highly contentious referendum ahead of the vote come painters from both sides of

the argument took the debate to the people islands voting on whether to repeal the eighth amendment of the country's constitution that all but berms abortion. the law says that the life of a mother and unborn fetus are equal abortions only allowed if there is a serious risk to the mother's life not in cases of rape incest or serious optimality those that break the law or face a maximum fourteen year prison sentence. is a doctor she's voting yes to repeal the eighth amendment she was pregnant with her third child when things started to go wrong we discovered that our baby had a condition called. him at the top half of his head had never formed that was nothing about his brain. and that he would not survive. would have to carry the child to full term possibly another twenty weeks she travelled to liverpool in the u.k.

for an abortion just being alone in a foreign country when you're dealing with us and then. giving birth and then. having to board a plane to come home. and then a couple of weeks later. the ring on my door about and that's the courier and he has the ashes. this is how the no campaign to getting their message across they believe that if the law changes it will be the moment. with conservative. change many of. the catholic church. is strongly opposed to abortion from the moment of conception until catholics believe . and therefore worthy of protection when it comes to the issue off the. special protection in 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 limited access to abortions during the first twelve weeks of pregnancy subject to medical advice if the referendum is passed for many in this debate that's a step too far both sides say they're seeking a compassionate. to a difficult question. well voting is well underway we've been at this polling station in central dublin for most of the day there's been a steady stream of voters here seems replicated of course up and down the country we even know that some ballot boxes have been delivered to some of the most remotest islands on the west coast of ireland to the result won't be known until saturday afternoon the count begins on saturday morning and whoever wins in inverted commas this very challenging referendum will have the power to influence politics and legislation going forward for many years to come. they have many

thanks deep a pack of them live in dublin. police in canada are still looking for a motive after a bomb explosion at an indian restaurant fifteen diners were injured three of them seriously in the city of mississauga near toronto it happened as two separate birthday parties were going on inside detectives are studying security camera video of two men who entered the restaurant with their faces covered let's go live now to what toronto answer is danny alack is there as i said still no obvious motive here daniel tell us what happened well this was late in the evening it was a crowded restaurant the as you said two separate birthday parties were going on and there were children present some of them under the age of ten the police say as best as they can put it together from the witness statements they have so far two men that were dressed in in a very disguised manner with their faces covered came in carrying a homemade bomb an improvised explosive device and then set it off and fled no

indication whether they set it up and it went up immediately or they got out of the door they got away in a vehicle and now they're looking for these two people that descriptions they released are very generic it's going to be hard to track them down on that alone but police do not know really what went on here the investigation is just beginning for them as dawn broke a few hours ago and let's listen to what the police chief and the mayor of mississauga had to say about this event. there's no indication that this is a terrorist attack no indication this is a crime at this time we haven't ruled anything out as we started investigation this is a really serious investigation and want to take our time with it here we're very methodical so we're putting a lot of resources into this right now so. we ask that anyone with any information please come forward and tell the police certainly the people who have done this need to answer for their crimes and they need to be brought to justice. what sort of neighborhood is it that this happened in could this somehow be

a hate crime well that is one of the avenues that police are looking into as the chief said there's also been in the area and other areas around toronto in the past the occasional organized crime attack like this so really they're mystified this is a an up and coming city next to toronto there's a lot of neighborhoods there were people have recently come to canada and their descendants a lot of people from so this was an indian restaurant in fact people go there from toronto and elsewhere for the quality of the food from all around the world it's deeply mystified the authorities we're hearing that there's going to be federal support for the investigation but for now we really don't know enough to conclude in any way why this happened i don't know many thanks indeed out xerostomia lack there reporting live from toronto at least one thousand people are missing after cycling mcu no hit the yemeni island of the state of emergency has been declared there at evacuations are underway in nearby oman where the storm is expected to

around two hundred thousand people so lots of people will be impacted by this storm landfall around twenty one hundred g.m.t. this evening so not too far away sustained winds of one hundred sixty five kilometers per hour and as we were hearing those gusts approaching two hundred kilometers per hour so damaging winds certainly a possibility a likelihood the storm makes its way further north woods along the border pushing up towards the far south of saudi arabia by around sunday this is the scene already ahead of the storm you can see the awful conditions of the mountains in the background the high ground there look how the water is just tumbling down and i think this will be becoming a rather more frequent say and i think as we go on through the coming hours special little further north was take a closer look so that's a position of the storm as we go through the remainder of friday night in further northward some parts could see two hundred maybe three hundred millimeters of rain average annual rainfall for salada is

a rat about ninety six millimeters of rain so the flash flooding is inevitable the heavy rain the showers they'll push further north was there could even be some flooding into southern parts of saudi arabia by the end of the weekend adrian everson many thanks still to come here on the news hour more questions for the laziest former prime minister after a corruption probe on uncovers new evidence. iraqis face a bumpy road ahead as politicians try to form a new government. and liverpool f.c. arrives in ukraine we'll hear from mohamed salah as the team. as for its champions league final the details a little later in sport. package for us what were you hearing what we wear on line horrendous things. about that or if you join us on sacked a lot of the major countries in the commonwealth have far bigger fish to fry and

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 now 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 final was passed it was passed on friday here in the parliament. and she corruption police in malaysia have seized twenty eight million dollars from three apartments linked to the family of the former prime minister najib razak banks containing jewelry and luxury watches or phones in the homes of his son and daughter the jeep denies stealing billions of dollars from a safe investment fund while he was prime minister of the series giving pollen reports from kuala lumpur. police say they waited three premises allegedly linked to the former prime minister najib one most apparent lee occupied by his daughter the other by his son and the third was vacant now in this vacant apartment they say they found twenty nine million dollars in cash in twenty six different currencies they also say they found thirty seven bags of luggage containing jewelry and luxury

watches these are currently being valued but police say the value may exceed the amount of cash they found they also found two hundred eighty four luxury handbags including brick and bags these are currently being authentic ated now these have all been seized over the past week in separate raids they also have brought in the former prime minister for questioning clued in america than seven hours session yesterday there have also been other revelations and these are proving hard for many malaysians to stomach as it's now coming out that the funds or money used to support this want to defund the fund was government's money now for so long the previous government had maintained and so had the former c.e.o. of the fund they had always said that government money our money taxpayers' money wasn't being used to prop up this fund while it's now been found out that taxpayer money is being used to pay the interest that we go through some of the figures so

far one billion dollars has been paid out by the central bank and now bear in mind this is money that had been earmarked for the development of malaysia going into infrastructure and education they also revealed. by the end of this month another thirty five million dollars has to be paid out at interest rates and pretty much by the end of this year or two of the 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 politicians in iraq currently involved in negotiations to form a coalition government a shia cleric. has emerged as a power broker after his bloc won the most votes in the election earlier this month his support comes from baghdad's working class who heeded his call for change some

of the jobs reports from the stronghold sutta city. don't get caught and so the city has been replaced by talks in the sprawling baghdad suburb it represents about the only modernization in years. makes about ten dollars a day and like many others in the city he's fed up with the lack of services. our politicians are they don't look after us there are so many people without jobs . nearly half of one million people live in southern city. just around the poverty line the lack of services is evident everywhere basic facilities such as sewage clean water and electricity are all but missing this is the traditional power base for the lineage of shia leaders named after assassinated mohammed who. is the first election where

the poorest part of the. elected the winning party. is a microcosm of iraq representing the divide between baghdad's rich and poor this election has given people hope but the question remains in iraq's complicated politics but that won't be enough to bring about the change people here are hoping for. to form a government that needs coalition partners but he also has to manage voter expectations when he makes alliances and then. we have high hopes from his eminence smoked out al solder he's the man of reforms. and entered the green zone for the sake of reforms so that the oppressed would rise. so there also need support from six members of his side when bloc which includes the communist party really disappointed at politicians attitudes the election i swear. the main reason that there is rampant poverty in solder city is because there are no jobs no

money and most of all those politicians are turning a blind eye to us. for decades not much has changed here once again these poor suburbs have used their vote now they wait for politicians to deliver on campaign promises osama bin job it out of the era of city baghdad another saudi activist has been arrested following last week's crackdown on women's rights to fend small alba jodi is a founding member of a prominent rights group several people associated with the women's rights movements 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. libya demands to recognize a language which was banned as during the forty year rule of one a gadhafi. of the war had reports from the city of your friend the constitution continues to ignore the language seven years of the colonel's death. the until now the radio station in libya. stands out as
