5:02 am
to agree to change much of its foreign policy the policy is not regime change but we definitely want to put maximum pressure on the government and it's not just to come back to discuss fixing a deal that's basically not fixable dealing with the nuclear weapons aspect we want to see a much broader retreat by iran from their support for international terrorism their belligerent military activity in the middle east and their ballistic missile nuclear related programs all things around is unlikely to agree to still as the partners in the nuclear deal dialogue we really just encourage and united states to start talking to. in order to be able to find a route forward the european union is trying to protect its companies taking the unusual step of issuing a blocking statement that says european companies should ignore u.s. sanctions but still car companies drug manufacturers and many other big names are
5:03 am
leaving iran the reason if a company does business in the united states and then chooses to do business in iran well the u.s. government can basically cut them out of the u.s. market that is a much more important economic one government officials here say they will be watching closely and they plan to aggressively enforce the sanctions that have been put in place. still the u.s. is going this alone unlike last time the other major economies like china are vowing to continue to do business with iran and even though they technically will not be able to use the u.s. dollar the world's currency former state department official jarrett block says they will find a way to work around that and that will hurt the u.s. in the long term the world's banking. system is like a sewer and all of the plumbing runs to new york there's new laws of physics there's a new law of laws that says that has to be true it's just the way things have developed since world war two right now you've got the e.u. which is their economy is as large as ours you've got china growing to the point that they will soon be larger than us and if we abuse the power that we get from
5:04 am
that central role if we could preciously apply sanctions without taking into account the national security concerns of our closest allies and partners we're going to lose that position. the target ministrations but in the power of the u.s. dollars key to all economic growth all around the world around hoping that by the u.s. going it alone that will no longer be the case. washington. malaysia's former prime minister is back in court to face new charges of money laundering it's over his alleged role in the multi-billion dollar looting of a state investment fund. transferred money from one m. to be into his own personal account last month he pleaded not guilty to charges of abuse of florence libby joins us live now from the sounds like a fresh round of charges against talk us through what's happened today.
5:05 am
that is exactly what it is a fresh round of charges he's been charged with having committed three other offenses. and he money laundering and terrorism financing act all of this relates to allegations that he received ten million dollars about ten point six million dollars between the months of december two thousand and fourteen and february two thousand and four two thousand and fifteen and that these monies these sums of money came from illegal unlawful activities now and this is in addition to charges that he already faces three crown three counts of criminal breach of trust as well as abuse of power he was charged with these offenses last month to now he's been charged. with additional offenses but they all relate to the same activities of having a total ten point six million dollars deposited into his personal bank account between the months of december two thousand and fourteen and two thousand and fifteen now knowledge of his pleaded not guilty this was last month when he was
5:06 am
charged with the other offenses he has and yet for these offenses which have been charged today but it's expected that he will also plead not guilty florence i suppose the big question is how much control did not actually have over the want him to be state fund. well you see one m.t.b. was under the control of the finance ministry this is a state investment fund and we're not just isn't logical i mean when all these things happen not chip was not on the the prime minister of this country he was also the finance minister of this country and this is something really that investigators are really trying to get to the bottom of i mean not just had set up the fund one m.v.p. he's he and his associates are alleged to have stolen four and a half billion dollars from this fund and these charges that he's faced with cost all stems from a company that was a subsidiary of one m.t.v. this company known as s.r.c. international so all of these things are related it's really hard to say how much control he had over it because he wasn't he he had set up the fund and then he was
5:07 am
chairman and then he subsequently set stepped down but as the leader of this country if the finance minister of the country can be argued that he had ultimate control over the state investment fund. florence fun too. even touquet as been sworn in as colombia's new president he's the youngest leader to be elected there in a popular vote the forty two year old former senator who won the presidential runoff in june with fifty four percent of the vote he was promised to revise the peace accord with rebels defuse tensions with venezuela and curb the production of cocaine. today colombia confronts enormous challenges we receive a country in which more than three hundred social activists have been assassinated in the last two years illegal crops have expanded and they have done so exponentially criminal gangs increase their capacity yearly in various regions of the country and promises and commitments have been made with social organizations without making sure they are financed what colombians expect are solutions and not
5:08 am
aggression i want to be the president that forges and achieves what was agreed upon and thinking about what colombia needs without falling into temptation a leading up last minute has more now from bogata. even to get the country's new president fully aware of this long list of challenges not least of which is the issue of cocaine production which has reached a new high a record high here in colombia this. problem in the country really started skyrocketing about three years ago around the same time as the signing of the peace agreement between the colombian government and the revolutionary armed forces of colombia where the fart and what happened after this was in that vacuum left by the park in the territories that they controlled new armed groups groups associated with the fark is dissidents there are new armed groups opposed to the government have been fighting over control of these territories and that's sort of given rise to this illicit illicit crop production that hasn't been seen in at least ten years
5:09 am
here in colombia apart from that there's also the question of venezuela something very complicated for colombia venezuela is there but as well refugees that are there flooding into colombia as many as a thousand individuals coming into the country almost on a near on a near daily basis and there's also the question of diplomatic ties with venezuela we know that has not appointed an ambassador to venezuela signaling that that relationship with the between the two countries is practically nonexistent but there's also you know these are all front and center issues for the new president but it will be presiding over such a politically divided country that may just be his biggest challenge to saudi arabia is to remove patients receiving medical treatment from hospitals in canada and transfer them out of the country is the latest move in the growing diplomatic spat between both countries elsewhere more than fifteen thousand saudi students in canada have been ordered to leave but going home could be difficult as a saudi national carrier is canceling flights between jet the interim so it's
5:10 am
unclear how the dispute will affect existing trade with four billion dollars canada mainly imports oil from saudi arabia with cars and defense equipment going the other way there are also questions over a thirteen billion dollar contract to supply the saudis with nine hundred vehicles christensen has more from toronto. canada is a country that prides itself on promoting human rights at home and overseas now one country is determined to pay a steep price for that principle saudi arabia is suspending direct flights to canada demanding fifteen thousand saudi students and their families in the country leave and it's killing off the hopes of future trade deals it's all for speaking out on twitter against saudi arabia's arrest of two women's rights activists on unspecified charges one sam of the dow he is the sister of rape but dowie another imprisoned activists whose wife is now a canadian citizen i think saudi arabia has very aggressive reaction demonstrates
5:11 am
how sensitive they are to this kind of criticism how much it matters to them and so this really should be viewed by other governments as an important opening an opportunity to build up pressure but if canada was expecting the european union or the united states to come to its defense we have discussed it with the government of saudi arabia and it's up for saudi arabia and the canadians to work this matter out what it got from the saudi trading partners was lukewarm backing at best the dispute has given the government of prime minister justin trudeau a boost at home over support for women's rights but critics say canada has little to gain by putting the saudis on the defensive the big question is what is done in a thoughtful ineffective way would it have been more productive to have you quiet diplomacy rather than a formal public shaming and was cam of the prepared for the fallout trade between the two countries amounts to about four billion dollars a year much of it coming from the sale of canadian armored vehicles canada hasn't

5:14 am
talking about more than seventy thousand people who are now left homeless that's a lot of people and they're all living in conditions as to what i should show to you they need to be held for these people so because of course it's already to third day now they're running out of everything they're running out of food they're running out of water so much still coping with injuries that have to be treated a lot of help is still needed this third day after the earthquake and also tourists have been leaving the island for the last couple of days some of them are still stuck because the airport is trying to cope with so many tourists who desperately want to leave the island but many of them yeah they can leave as soon as they want to strip thank you. lots more still to come here on the news hour including google issues a warning about one hundred fifty apps on its play store that could infect computers and harvest personal data. and it's more women champion novak djokovic steps up operations to win u.s.

time muscles to. funerals have been held for two house members killed by israeli tank fire in the gaza strip they were part of the al qassam brigades that's the military wing of hamas the israeli army says it was retaliating offered soldiers were fired upon the u.n. in egypt are trying to mediate a long term truce between israel and hamas to end four months of violence along the israel gaza border under simmons has more from gaza. shortly after the funeral of the two dead fighters in an online briefing from brigades the military wing of hamas it was said that this was a military parade on the shooting was part of it now in the video published by the military spokesman for the israelis you can clearly see the shooting and also the return fire from a tank which was
5:16 am
a direct hit and now the israeli spokesman claims that this was definitely an attack so how massive responded by saying the israeli occupation can't impose a new reality by targeting the resistance security sites a members without paying a price and the palestinian resistance has the capability to repulse that aggression will there be some sort of retaliation unclear the egyptian part of the talks for a long term cease fire is actively putting effort into keeping some sort of truce together right now and in the talks between hamas and other factions and also fatah there is now some progress it would seem although the israeli offer for whatever it is doesn't appear to be. excepted right now they're all traveling to cairo and they will be more talks on tuesday the ousted governor of ethiopia's somali state has been arrested just a day after he resigned from office no mas being transferred to the capital addis
5:17 am
ababa with several of his top aides on monday the federal government took over the administration of the somali region to restore law and order when i must step down after fifty people were killed in the state capital of georgia go on saturday the violence began out of the federal government deployed troops leading to a standoff with local paramilitary forces the region's been plagued by violence for decades with tens of thousands of people displaced since last year. if your peers government has signed an agreement to end hostilities with the army liberation fund the group is fighting for independence for the region the government has declared it a terrorist movement to zero as mamma though has more from neighboring djibouti. documents signed in oss what are today's a huge boost for prime minister a b a ha moment the almost liberation front was set up in one thousand nine hundred seventy three to fight for the rights of the all more people and also sic independence for the region from the rest of the stupid
5:18 am
the largely cut it out of touch against government is delicious in mainly the oral more region of ethiopia prime minister a b himself is on all more and having a rebel group from his own community fighting his government would have been a huge setback for the raft of reforms that he has initiated in the country but there are reasons why it all after have signed this agreement in us mara with the government in ethiopia and the hostilities with the state they were getting most of their support from the editor and government and now that the air tran government has normalized relations with the if european government thought support was not forthcoming the ethiopian government removed or a more liberal shown front from the role of terrorist organizations a distinction they were labeled by the former government just last month. zimbabwean court has bail twenty seven opposition supporters accused of post-election violence six people were killed last week when soldiers opened fire
5:19 am
on protesters in iran. the police say all those who were released on bail were arrested last week when they took to the streets protesting. saying it was a protest where the ruling family camp poteet. elections they say these people will file and they can use the burning tires and trying to burned out buildings the police say they couldn't call that's why they call the noise or visit was disappointing to say it's not just a politically motivated. i lay to the bleeding weakness of the state which we also highlighted getting all submissions we have no doubt that these people are going to be vindicated people are going to be acquitted in fact it is the worst of the states to even not going to be getting these people the police say six people died last week some of them was shot into massacre means less condemned the violence but they say they're
5:20 am
walking the fact that president elect i'm assuming that he's going to set up a commission of inquiry to look into what happened to try and find out who's to blame for the violence and the dates for most the bobbins it is about the economy big know that these elections if they're on to endorse by the it's massive community it could mean the country won't be able to reengage with other parts of the world asking any two decades of international isolation they want jobs they want in place to come to some promise some of them fear the violent things so last week could have scared some people well moose's shaken is from human rights watch she says zimbabwean security forces have been cracking down on the opposition since the election. we have been documented in a bad end game against opposition party members by individuals identified as a supporter of the being. pm as well as obviously you know
5:21 am
i dented quite sorters police and other informed men who are going to hold sort of interviewed who are. suspected that harboring or or being that were in place is off the shelves of the opposition movement for democratic change alliances in many of these cases those who were not even at all connected whether they were relatives or the close neighbors or people who happen to be in the wrong creates at that time that these are uniformed men or white men came into the premise is were beaten brutally some of their what also have doctorate from all in at least one case they were to came to a local police station in karate so clearly you know what the beatings told us about the identity or. as being that these men. really.
5:22 am
now the democracy protest movement in manama started thirty years ago despite thousands of protesters flooding the streets then it took decades before free and fair elections were held but that happened in twenty fifteen bringing unsung suchi and her party to power once heralded as an icon for human rights and democracy she's since gone to heavy criticism scott highland reports. it was an early august thirty years ago the protesters took to the streets of burma as it was called then taking their stand for democracy after decades of military control the movement became known as eight eighty eight the date of a nationwide general strike august eighth one nine hundred eighty eight a year before the country was renamed me in march thousands marched in there then capital rangoon and in cities in towns across the nation in its crackdown the military opened fire but the demonstrations continued and grew in the weeks to come three thousand protesters were killed another three thousand jailed and ten
5:23 am
thousand fled the country. from these protests a leader for the movement emerged. and this was the really beginning of the growth of you know the image of aung san suu kyi as the great democracy and human rights icon and since that beginning thirty years ago she won the nobel peace prize while under house arrest and her political party went on to win a general elections three years ago but even with that she does not run the country the military control over the civilian government is guaranteed in the constitution . dunja park preacher is a professor of southeast asia politics at thailand's thomas arts university. we need to understand the nature of democracy in myanmar today it was even looked at. me in my day. then look at the transition oh damn look at the constellation i think myanmar now is in the half way even though the nation is finding its feet
5:24 am
as a new democracy many feel that since taking office on song suchi has ignored human rights and freedoms when she should be speaking out and fighting for them like she did thirty years ago the idea that she was going to be a human rights defender for in the leadership of the government has now really been dashed because you know as she said i'm not you know i'm not a human rights activist i'm a politician and unfortunate those words of prove to be prophetic because you know she has become the kind of politician that an earlier version of her may have railed against while the movement that brought on song suchi to where she is today is celebrated the time when she or another democratically elected civilian leader will actually lead the country is still in the distance it's got harder al-jazeera but let's talk to bridget well she's an associate professor john cabot university and joins us live now from the malaysian capital brigid let's talk first about.
5:25 am
people had so much hope and faith and as a leader but she's recently come under increasing criticism over the ranger refugee crisis and her silence over the military operation on the bangladesh border she damaged goods do you think. absolutely and i think we also see that in myanmar that she's not a democrat there's been concerns about press freedoms and arrests of writers reporters there hasn't been a real engagement with civil society there hasn't been a sense to opening up the system the way that there was promised in the eighty eight protests. and we know that the power and control by the military in min mas basically enshrined in the constitution so let me ask you do you think of a c. true civilian democracy well i think the trends in the last two and a half years since she's been in government are very worrying when the election was held in november of two thousand and fifteen there was tremendous euphoria about
5:26 am
the change and and in stemming the military government and changing it and standing in military power despite the fact that they have provisions within the constitution and and hold a number of ministries but what we've seen with their hinge of crisis and other forms of fighting within parts of the country that the military still holds considerable power in not only the positions within parliament and within the ministries but they also hold it within the bureaucracy itself and the signals have been sent that also sochi is not actually effectively curbing military power and the military remains arguably some ways more dominant in the government that it was right after the election now in part because of the one hundred crisis but in part because she herself has not stood up to them there's been some moves in the areas of corruption recently but these have not really taken traction so far we know that the movement that brought suit she's a power is being celebrated today but in terms of the broader picture how much has really changed in myanmar what about basic human rights and freedoms. well i think
5:27 am
i think it's unfair to say that there haven't been some changes i mean people in myanmar feel a sense of freedom and choice they sense there's a tremendous optimism that still exists in the ground for most people in myanmar there are concerns there have been modest aspects in terms of changes in governance and in areas of economic growth civil society has now is still having more space to operate and there is a lot more press freedom than there was before but there are also serious issues those issues involve that continued issues of corruption issues of conflict in terms of the problems of stemming of the peace process there's been a rise of hate speech and there haven't been enough freedoms in terms of managing some parts of the press and dealing with the military so it's definitely as was indicated earlier half way of a mixed bag and i think that we don't see democratization really taking root in a very substantive way so far i think it's really power has been highly centralized
5:28 am
bridgette a final thought from you before you go what hopes do ordinary people have in me and people on the street what do they want to see in the country going forward they want to strong economy they want jobs they want more deliverables they want reduced reduction in conflict and they would like i think most ma'am i would like better ethnic relations i think that right now the tensions are very real and i think this downey's for the future right at this counter current juncture bridget welsh thank you for your time now more than four hundred migrants have been rescued in the mediterranean sea on their way to spain the spanish coast guard sound nine boats making the crossing from morocco one tuesday with spain's experiencing an increase of migrant arrivals with twenty three thousand people coming ashore so far it's overtaken italy as the main destination for migration after a joint crackdown with libya it's a reason to minister has defended his tough migrant stunt saying its impact is
5:29 am
clear. more than seven hundred thousand people have arrived in italy across the mediterranean sea alone we cannot continue this way this helps neither italy nor africa therefore i wanted to stop such action such as human trafficking which could be tied to terrorism or to drug or arms trade finally after italy took action europe woke up and made the decision to invest in africa so far more than half a billion dollars is being committed it is too little and we will ask for more our time for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back. sanctions in iran are a very brazen here in western afghanistan the weekend economy is pushing afghans home and thousands. all eyes are on a higher with a special election that's being seen as a test of president trump's leadership. and his board jamaican sprinter usain bolt says his ambitions to become a professional football are still on track bulls here with that story.

police reports and head out in the west in afghanistan. this is the human cost of you. on iran these people are not iranian or american but afghan sixteen and her family have lived in iran for twenty five years. born there they were deported this week ending up in a un transit camp in wiston afghanistan. whoa they have as they don't want that we left behind our house our furniture i locked the doors and now i am here they were beating us they were very cruel they kept saying get lost. in the past iranian officials have said they have been proud to host an estimated three million afghans but is iran's economic situation worsens afghans one of the most vulnerable communities in iran some of the first to feel the pinch. more than two hundred thousand have been deported since the start of the year only a few thousand have received un support. for their economy kept getting worse and
5:35 am
everyone was shouting and screaming we kept saying we're refugees here but they kept saying if we cannot help iranians how can we help you another two hundred thousand afghans have returned home voluntarily after they couldn't find work in iran for decades afghans in the west of send their sons across the border to work and seen money harma with the collapse of the nuclear deal in the currency in freefall those jobs have dried up remittances had propped up households across western afghanistan small tiny asli a mess of drought has devastated the region's main industry agriculture not only have the afghan people been affected by drought but they now have less ability to rely on family members who are working abroad and sending home of their paycheck in which case you know the number of people who may be forced to migrate based on a lack of resources in their own homes could rise exponentially in very short order

5:37 am
vote in it looks like democrat danio corner for a value campaign in a heavily republican district against a republican named for voters and but in the end it looks like something like one percentage point device that you and the republican is a head with very few votes left to count now the democrats are going to call this a victory nationwide this is a district where republicans generally win by about fifteen percentage points donald trump won here by eleven percentage points and no democrat has ever won this district with one exception in one thousand nine hundred sixty nine hundred thirty nine so the democrats are going to say this is an area and people are then the launch of a blue wave of democratic wave in november and retake congress where they need to take twenty three seats to do it and in fact tonight's election is not the end of this campaign because these guys were running to complete the term of
5:38 am
a congressman who had left office that term ends in january this november these same two candidates will line up against each other and they will run for the following two years then start in january so this campaign season or over even though it does appear that. republican came out on top and it does mean is that a lot of money is going to come riding into this district from both parties if you own a billboard or a blogger or some television station here you'll probably not be hurting for advertising money any time soon so we're sad night here probably even if we don't have the complete results but it is appearing i can give danny the owner is not going to make it through this time but he still has a shot in november if the democrats say they will hold this victory even though the numbers don't entirely show that john thank you. now google has removed more than one hundred applications from its op store after they were found to carry software
5:39 am
that attacks computers it says one hundred forty five apps on google's play store were loaded with a virus that would then be stored on an android phone device while the virus wouldn't affect the phone itself they could attack a computer as windows platform once the smart phone is plugged in a virus and then be able to track personal information revealing things like credit card details and passwords well mike street's the digital strategist he says up users need to do their homework before downloading. i think what you need to do as a consumer and as a user of the global way out is really read the comments before you download and make sure that nobody else who is out there has had any kind of issues or any kind of problem with that so really take the time you know even though it's a free app you know make sure that you are actually going through the comments meticulously and saying like you know is anyone having any kind of issues with you know that it crashed a month phone or that someone noticed something weird happened you know so just
