were supposed to sit eventually he was thrown off after his experience began a campaign for an end to racial discrimination and oppression through non violent means he did it many for dissenters of indian laborers who are working out of africa sugar plantations at the time the single statement of advice from i will make the whole world blind is so relevant today i think the only way this world can survive to do is to be this love and truth so i think it's very very relevant to. the gandhi stayed in south africa for twenty one years anyone back to india to continue his nonviolent resistance movement historians say gandhi was a peacemaker a man who fought for social and political reform through past serve resistance he inspired leaders including nelson mandela and us civil rights leader martin luther king but some people insist he was not a hero two years ago students and lecturers in ghana campaign to remove a statue of gandhi from the main university because of what they said were his

racist comments about africans gained was a rampant researched when he went to the post office and he saw there was a line for whites and nonwhites his petition basically and forgive my language said how can you put us with the cafferty. because re are not barbarians we come from the civilized aryan stock and the said racial theory too would wait for our unions and the europeans were joined at the hip and africans are one step below. some historians say gandhi later admitted his data types of africans as barbarians were wrong apartheid ended in south africa in one thousand nine hundred four but the country is still struggling to deal with racism and inequality gandhi supporters hope his philosophy of nonviolent resistance continues to grow and help shape a new generation of activists fighting to end inequality for all south africans how

and welcome to the program i'm elizabeth for on for more than three years the people of yemen have endured war hunger and disease the u.n. estimates more than ten thousand people have been killed and three quarters of the population depend on international aid now fighting for control of her data could make the situation even worse the red sea port is the gateway for seventy percent of yemen's food supplies and half its fuel needs it's also the point of entry for medicines and other essentials needed by twenty two million people just to survive the u.n. and the u.s. have warned against an attack by the saudi and watty coalition fighting the rebels . well let's bring in our panel now from. a pro who is

a journalist and via skype also from some of the he country director for yemen with auk fam international a very warm welcome to both of you missed us today here let me start with you what an assault on the porch of data maine for what is already the world's worst humanitarian crisis and also for the some six hundred thousand people who live in the city of hadera. well. i mean yemen is already the world or worst humanitarian crisis is at the brink of i mean to me and it is one of the principal pulls of the country i mean to opiates the food supplies medicines and others since you come through so if i mean the fighting at the moment if rooters who and then if the life line is cut out it does i mean clearly indicates that i mean there will be

in stock and the top of this food medicine and other essentials which will have an impact on the populations and already in this world war you mentioned crisis and they do this three years of war are mr k.t. the un's envoy for you haven't much martin is in the capital sanaa if thought to actually broker a deal to avert a possible assault on hold day there under which the u.n. would take control of the port would the her face agree to that. no i don't think that the hotel will accept. two hundred. forty or of a day the city because the. leaks request that the un has asked to hand over who they doubled it was not from this. boy it was well before it was from the

dish eight. un un envoy to yemen and it's really strange to ask from one side to withdraw from a city because as you say it is one of the last humanitarian line into yemen and instead of doing that you can ask the saudi to stop targeting the city this actually show you the biased of the united nation if it true that they have requested for the hold it was though. are they the board but i'm sure they will not accept that because if they were to draw from this city then next time they will ask them to draw from sa to draw from other cities so. you have to stop it have a ceasefire not to target the port live this life line go in as it used to be in a state of target of targeted by the saudis that coalition missile book i think. is such a crucial lifeline for the millions of people and yemen wouldn't it be better if it was controlled by

a neutral organization like the united nations rather than the who things. i mean look at the whole the are yemenis and then the saudi that coalition is made from. medicine or even from colombia so how can you accepted that you leave a city because a foreign coalition is attacking the city this is just just nonsense and i don't think it will be accepted and yemeni people as well will not accept that the host you will agree i will agree to that there is a war south of the data and if the so do want to stop the it will continue its of or it will continue its fighting to protect that port and on the top of that wow can we guarantee that all day the city will not be like in a callous like the same in aden i think that the u.n. should actually take over aden port city to secure it because it's not secured now i'll try dozen in three that there are many attacks suicide attacks are almost

every week assassination every day and on the day the city the only. attack that's happening there is by the saudi led air strike this show you the difference between security and what they do so i think they should actually. control the not our data but it is what they are that is the point of focus now mr who do you think should be in control of this vital port at this time do you think that the who things should give up their control of the united nations. well in my view i mean we are concerned so we are really really concerned that if the line is caught then that we have a catastrophe. in more family have to physically bury the loved ones there will be more hunger and more deaths we really concern that the writing is stop and the international community put pressure on both the warring parties to return to

the these dogs in the fighting and find a political solution so in our view we want to discuss them young rescission and through who we can find as political solution and we might be might be closer to the political solution because as all of this is playing out it seems they could be a breakthrough in ending the conflict the reuters news agency says it seen a draft proposal for a peace plan written by the united nations it says the plan includes a call on the hooty rebels to give up their ballistic missiles which they've been firing into saudi arabia and return the saudi emraan to coalition would end its bombing campaign against the whole things which has been going on for more than three years the document also reportedly includes proposals for a transitional government which would involve the who thiis mr because i'm sure you're aware of this proposed peace plan what do you make of it do you think that the whole thing he's willing to give up their ballistic missiles for

a seat at the table in a transitional government. i just want to mention that when. the for political council mad the alamo shot in sanaa when he has met the u.n. envoy he said like i'm quoting here he said we have our hand on the trigger but does what we have the other hand will come in any peace or serious peace told with all parties so it was clear message that we will not hand over our weapons and this is it by the way about waiters i think they just want to make the breaking news a than they are baseless because i don't think that they actually will actually dare to ask the hoti to to give up they didn't say like to stop ballistic missile in a chant in the tour of stop and so he can bait they say to him to give up the their ballastic missiles in return of the saudi to stop to end their campaign that's how they can switch back their campaign in yemen in a matter of seconds but if you give our you're a ballistic missiles how can you if the saudis didn't i mean change their mind i

mean this is the only what is that the how they have to hurt saudi so i do think they will actually if they think of handing it and we remember what happened before the invasion of iraq they would has asked saddam to hand over his weapons and hours before the invasion he had destroyed one of the lastic long lines ballistic missile and what happened as soon as he destroyed his ballastic missiles the united states has invaded iraq so it will be the same and i'm sure they will not hand over any weapons so that if they aren't and either mr but i think if they don't match the hand over their weapons do they think that they can still when the swar militarily because if they don't hand over their weapons how do they expect to stop the swore . i mean the one who should ask him to stop the war was the one who started the war with no the talk over power either you called them accountable or not it was it in an internal matter i mean there are many moves around the world no one will interfere military to stop it so that all disguises the colorado you know outbreak

this is a humanitarian crisis in yemen it started after the saudi let's call it a war in yemen it didn't start because of the how do you cope and i said you can not to hand over the order while you still are under the blockade but unfortunately no one actually can accept that but unfortunately for the who things in the book it is the. government of exiled president. that is supported by the saudi led coalition that you speak of that is the internationally recognized government of yemen and not the who things that the international community recognizes as the leaders in the country mr if i can come to you you know mr he was speaking about the humanitarian problems that the country is facing so you know after more than three years of war what is at stake here for the people of yemen and i know that you organization said on wednesday that yemen is one step away from famine now and

that millions could be affected. or this is really really you can you can imagine the two million people need. aid and even protection assistance i mean. also that the public's. not been. paid for their salaries for the last two years and people do not. measure or even mean to get an income school been closed for years i mean forty six percent. functional and then the caller was one of those. i mean. that basically over two thousand people and recorded over a million cases of color and then if i'm in pulled up artists or the

artists do not just stop fighting if they do not listen that basically international community has a responsibility to pull pressure on both doring parties to end this and end fighting and start peace negotiation and we're also concerned that in the peace plan there is no civil society are going to stand still and women's and in the world we have seen where women's voices and the civil society voices have been hired the basically is this more than fifteen years and now this new situation while for apply frontlines active and in the new basically i mean the movement. and booked up words is do not listen then it will really be a catastrophe i mean in the end i mean even more cash a struggle it is the military in the military i mean i don't think that is the military solution mr mccain i think all parties have to find that sort of them and

so mr because they have what it takes for the who things to agree to a political solution one that the united nations as now reported to be proposing. i think of that is they will only accept an unbiased plan there must be first as a ceasefire all front but that is what they were calling on the united nations proposing a cease fire and if when you say a non-biased plan what is biased about this plan and if if it's not coming from the united nations who would propose this non-biased plan i mean look this plan it's. been made public we are talking about a leaked plan but by the way it is it could be a big lie just just to make the news but to look into this into this plan why would i say biased is when you ask one group to give up their ballastic missile return that the other side will stop bombing you what what what the only thing that

guaranteed that you you can actually maybe fight the saudi back is though i mean that you have how can you handed that's what i'm saying they would do you not just the united and they are in the way and the international community as a you know as a backer of this plan would guarantee it would prevent further saudi led coalition attacks if the who things were to give up their ballistic weapons ok is there no trust in the united nations or the international the real mr because i think what you know what to be honest with you me personally i think those are the we came to most yemeni we came to a conclusion that we don't trust all international community and dismissal of you and why i will explain to you before in muscat about two years ago there was a plan before the whole he accepted the twenty two sixteen the solution they were told that if you accept this we will guarantee that the world will stop and then we will go in how to implement the twenty two sixty what they have accepted and what happened the saudi continue its war that's why i say biased because this is what

the united nation has been doing so mr look on her if it is honey i must the united nations if i was all are in the last out it will cease fire who do you see as a mediator in this conflict that has to end. i think this should be talks between the whole thing between their buddies in sanaa included though the un saudi arabia the first thing and the united nation if it want to be. in this in this war they should at least mention the saudi as one site and when i say biased i can date i mean anyone watching me now to bring me a document from any u n envoy into yemen or u.n. security council that has mentioned this all the other part of this war how can you mediate if you're not mentioning the saudi under saudi is leading this coalition against yemen that that that the groove that you and and all you in blood are totally biased just mentioned the saudi as part of this war and then the saudi will

be held responsible if they break in a cease fire if they do not accept any any agreement that will come in the future and i think we will reach a solution soon or mr. like to give you the last word on this no doubt you and your organization and other aid groups are desperately hoping for a solution you know what is your message to the warring parties and the international community. i think i have all that invention is the basically three things the past on board the warring parties they have to end the fighting without putting any precondition the process on the second one they have to agree that we don't any preconditions are going back to the negotiation the third one is basically in order to establish a craft between the ottoman among different warring parties i think that un and international communities have to. lead and coordinate and include the

and participatory in peace negotiation processes i'm in both the civil society women and both i mean in santa and also in other forums it may take number of imputes i'm in conversation i think i think that are going on theory i mean the total truth in the fighting has and then is established i mean we want to see that the humidity is in these do not there is any problem in providing human services to the people in need and then i think their loved one would be that should be a political solution but what would be the transitional moment i mean listen mechanism i mean one i mean is stablished all right mr city thank you very much for that that is most and city in sanaa and also in sanaa who are saying ok thank you both very much. and now joining us from london is mohammad yunus

a yemeni journalist with our cars newspaper mr jim a the u.s. is among a number of countries and organizations that are warning the m.r.i. he's not to try and seize control of the port of poti data will the end rashi's refrain do you think from launching an attack which will further devastate the humanitarian situation. well i think the problem with the data is very complicated we have. around we have. two maybe one million yemenis live in in the city and it's a small city and is the most important city in the red sea on that it's you cause about seventy percent of the import of the yemenis and the human. aid comes from this port in the west of yemen and it is for instance mr sharon made that the u.s. that aid organizations the u.n. asking the m.r.

ati's not to nourse this attack so do you think that they will take heed of that call while i think. they are going to are. they to see the city the whole city different from the are over the line and they are going to put more pressure on the whole it is inside the city i don't think they are going to take it over because it will cost a lot of a lot of things in terms of human sufferings in in on the yemenis in the city and on in on the yemenis outside yeah even encourage the capital of sanaa because of the humanitarian aid will be cut off if the attack of the city misses you made there are reports that the un's on wife or yemen is trying to broker a deal so that there isn't an assault on her data and could possibly see the u.n. take control of the port what do you make of that do you think that the u.n. should be in control of this important port. well i was up

a lot more than one year ago when the solid didn't qualify so i just said to the united nations to take the part of who they are as something or as. a solution because the host is will never give it to the government forces and the will also not give it to the soldiers call the shots but unfortunately at the time the united nations refused to take it because they said they lack the. they lack the largest to control the. the. data now i'm not quite sure i think it's changed because we have a new plan which depends on taken away the hours of the qualities down and from all the factions the military factions in the country but what their own not this plan is going to be implemented or i think it is too early to suggest that

yes they these are just reports so far and we hear from the pro who journalist hussein advocate the area who said that the who things would not be giving up their ballistic missiles because they don't trust the u.n. and the international community to guarantee that the saudis will not continue their bombing campaign do you think that the saudi led coalition is ready now to sit down with the who things for this proposed negotiated settlement for you know a cease fire for a transitional government later on. well this is arming this plan is not new it's similar to the plan of suggested by the share the former one the former and compared to yemen involved human story. while the host is do not trust the international community and do not trust the saudi that question and there are many governments again. many governments on the saudi that question do not trust the

truth is because. there were more than one hundred agreement signed by the whole with these and some local leaders like tribal leaders and military leaders in the past and within the some politicians during the. war between the region of silence the former president and how these no one of these agreements has been fulfilled of implemented so there is not as there is no confidence there is no trust between all parties and when it's not the matter of the who these do not trust the government the government also do not trust the whole fees and i don't think in this situation this new plan will go further so what will it take then mrs you may because there's so much at stake in yemen so many millions of lives at stake to build trust to actually get to the point where all sides are willing to negotiate. well the problem is all parties in yemen are thinking that the

ourselves strong to fight from the government side they think that they are making good at vance. towards the city they are now just a few kilometers from the port and there is no point from the point of view of sitting around. like a negotiation table discussing the issues with the northeast and from the other side these are feeling that they are not defeated and they have to fight until the last moment so is difficult unless the parties indiaman the factions in him and those military. militants in the in the country the government and the whole of these come to an agreement or come to the to an idea that they will never achieve anything with war with weapon and the only solution could be the peaceful solution unless they come to this point then i don't think there is any sort of flies one is

the end of the tunnel just as you may just very briefly what will it take for them to come to that point. i think the international pressure on them on the government and on the whole of these there is that two to one six by the resolution of the united states and sorry the resolution saying frankly that the horsey truth is must give up the weapons which was belonging to the army the yemeni army. are the whole he's going to give give it up you said that the whole saying. it is said they will never give it because they they have not us in the government so if this is the case if this is a situation the only pressure will go on to the government there is no pressure on to the for these because they are militia they're not they cannot like a normal pressurized i'm all right mr zuma thank you very much for that that is

over a two point five billion dollars arms deal the case in the high court and has now been adjourned until late july he's accused of sixteen charges including fraud corruption money laundering and racketeering it's all linked to an one thousand nine hundred deal to buy european military hardware simmers deputy president at the time and the dogs him for years the charges were brought in two thousand and five before bring with being withdrawn four years later then a court reinstated the charges in the mall. live not to harm and this is second appearance in this case what came out of the hearing today. while he's just left the court building behind me he is across the road addressing his supporters this is what happened inside the point the state said that they are ready the defense said they are not ready the reason why is too much noise initially wanted his charges withdrawn until the issue of the case was legal fees

is sorted out we're told that is not going to happen so the judge agreed to postpone the matter to the twenty seventh of july and he says that should give zuma enough time to figure out who's going to pay his legal fees seumas legal team zuma once the taxpayers to pay for his fees because he says he is a former president but opposition parties he has gone to court and they say that should not be allowed to happen they're going to fight it so until x'mas legal fees issue is sorted out this matter cannot proceed hopefully it will be sort of on the twenty seventh of july but you must lawyers have warned they may still not be ready by then there's britney dragging out business in the meantime as we can hear in the background keeping zuma in the spotlight when's it all expected to come to a close more importantly. will some of the lawyers inside there are saying realistically you could see the trial actually starting properly sometime in november it could take that long and then once it starts could drag on for months maybe even years but that's not only women's only problem

because they capture issues where he's accused of committing and working with a very high profile indian family known as the group has it's been alleged that they were instrumental in up picking cabinet positions appointing certain people their masters so much wealth over the last few years and they've also been accused of alleged corruption so he's also been linked to that families also fighting those issues as well some analysts say that it could work consumers face but the longer this trial drags on it could give him time to maneuver and maybe try and find a way out. thanks very much our. adult trump may invites north korea's leader to the white house if tuesday's summit in singapore goes well yes president raised the possibility was hosting to pan's prime minister elevation has more from washington. the japanese prime minister will see donald trump but the upcoming g. seven summit in canada chin zoabi made

a detour to washington to ensure he gets some private time with the u.s. president to discuss north korea is a to settle down in the oval office the president admitted he didn't feel the need for a lot of preparation before his historic summit in singapore i don't think you have to prepare very much it's about attitude it's about willingness to get things done but i think i've been preparing for the summit for a long time the prime minister wants to make sure key japanese demands aren't lost in the moment that any deal isn't just good for the u.s. but its allies i hope the upcoming meeting in singapore represents the beginning of a bright new future for north korea and indeed a bright new future for the world. the deed nuclearization of the korean peninsula would assure in a new era of prosperity security and peace for all koreans in north and south and for people everywhere when donald trump travel to japan in the vendor he met

ping's presidency the county u.s. and florence far as low as in beijing. russian president vladimir putin is in china for the shanghai cooperation organization summit now this is an economic grouping led by russia and china seen by some as a counterweight to many of the groupings and blocks that are dominated by the united states and the two countries are drawing closer in part because of the close personal ties between their leaders and in part driven by they increasingly fraught relationship with the u.s. and when we look at russia it's finding that it needs more trade partners in the east particularly china because of sanctions against it led by the u.s. for its annexation of crimea in two thousand and fourteen russia is also being investigated and being accused of having meddled in u.s. elections as for china it's in the midst of a possible trade war with the u.s. these are the world's two largest economies china is also facing criticism from the

u.s. and being challenged for its increasing militarization of disputed parts of the south china sea and the other thing that these two countries have in common is that they are not invited to the summit that's going to be held between north korea and the u.s. that's not to say though that we can't discount their influence now in the days leading up to in days in the weeks leading up to this summit taking place russia has visited north korea it suggested that sanctions against north korea ought to be lifted in phases to perhaps gain favor with north korean officials and meantime we've also seen china extend visits to north korean leader twice this year already . the red cross has pulled more than seventy staff members out of yemen over security concerns the move comes as saudi amorality coalition forces close in on the red sea city of her data its port is yemen's main route for humanitarian aid the saudi military says yemeni government forces which it backs as part of

a coalition with the u.a.e. are within a few kilometers of the who controlled city the u.n. says a military assault could have dire consequences. very clear for garley as a spokeswoman for the international committee for the red cross and she joins us now from geneva thanks for being with us so what are these security concerns that force the red cross to pull out these members of staff. so in the past two weeks the i.c.r.c. the international media the red cross across yemen has received threats that come with an overall deterioration of the security let's not forget that less than two months ago the i.c.r.c. also lost a staff member that was brutally killed in time the security concerns come from the fact that we feel that we have lost the security guarantees that are due to sponsibility off all the parties to this conflict which has prompted the i.c.r.c. to pull out seventy one of its more by staff and relocated them to nearby djibouti

where we have a support office for yemen where these threats come from. i do not want to speculate the nature of threats means that they actually come from everywhere. one message that you want to get across is that the security of the i.c.r.c. when it's operating in the in a war zone is the responsibility of all the parties that are driving this conflict in yemen in particular the i.c.r.c. has an experience as a frontline operator that goes back to one thousand nine hundred sixty two when we say that we have lost the security guarantees of all parties it means serious business it means that we are receiving threats and it means that persecuting incidents that we had over the past two years cannot go and cannot continue like this why is the red cross being threatened when it's such an essential and neutral lifeline to both sides to all sides

well this question i don't know of this question can be addressed to the i.c.r.c. as such we have continued to operate the way we operate always and in very in every context we deliver our assistance in a neutral and in any way and then we give the context across. the spectrum of. the parties to the conflict and the different auto tities in yemen so why we are receiving threats this i cannot answer but what i can answer is that we cannot continue like this and what i can say is that the responsibility for our security is now in the hands of the parties to the conflict they are the ones who decide now how we continue to operate how we continue to operate in yemen the yemeni people have been so ravaged by this war haven't their aid is so sparse as it is so what does these start pulling out mean for your operations for the people that you're living. well very sadly it's means that we

have reduced the impact of our a life saving operations in yemen but this does not mean that we are leaving the yemeni people behind we relocated the staff this means that we have less capacity to operate but we are continuing to operate from from djibouti where we have a support office and what i want to make clear is that this reduction has started since the killing off our colleague who would. two months ago and it's ongoing now but we are not leaving the yemeni people behind but again we need more security get indians and we need more serious and solid get empty so that we can continue to provide the response to the yemeni people ok very very clear fogarty thanks very much for taking the time speak to us there from geneva still ahead in this half hour relatives of volcano victims take matters into their own hands is what a mother.
