familiar that's because it is it's based on the existing dublin agreement that was suspended by mrs merkel and twenty fifteen as a result of the refugee problems that year the german government has portrayed the deal as a breakthrough in the current immigration crisis a similar pact is also being made with greece and there was never any doubt that this agreement with spain would go ahead as spain has recently become the new preferred route for. seekers attempting to reach europe and there are fears that it will be yet another transit point for migrants to reach germany germany is also working with italy to agree a similar deal a challenge given the immigration stance from politicians now in its government sunny diagonal al-jazeera government protesters have been rallying for a second day in rumania the after more than four hundred demonstrators were injured in violence of police on friday thousands of people have gathered in the capital

inspired admiration and criticism in equal measure author salman rushdie tweeted saying he disagreed or we disagreed all our lives about politics about literature and i feel as sad as i have i've just lost a beloved older brother i'm a child is a novelist and professor he describes an eyeful as a literary giant. i think we should remember him for what you did with writing what an exceptional writer he was in my opinion the greatest writer of english prose of the second half of the twentieth century and. through remember him through two landmark books your various books are important but these two landmark books tell us a little bit of of the nature of this achievement the first is a house on the side of this what's neither of these books received any prizes. but they did something new for writers to follow and so he's

a he's extremely important to other eight of those where he wasn't afraid he was unafraid to be eccentric and offensive because i would say some of his views are disagreeable i certainly don't agree with them. but it's interesting how he was compared to express these views and work. through them work them out i mean what is interesting about nightfall is that chime and pressure and seriousness and even going to torturing. honesty with which you work so these very unpleasant thoughts these thoughts must have been unpleasant to them as well but i don't want i want this to be remembered the fact that he was just honest enough to show us the more more unpleasant bits of the thought process now one of us is most ambitious station missions has blasted off. three two one zero and lift off the park

next it's talk to al-jazeera to stay with us. every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stones happening was in the truck didn't happen on the boy through the eyes of the world journalists images matter a lot international politics chilling the listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most. fair if someone from the country who guides you through needs you to this story of the byline tells us who wrote the post on al-jazeera. and. you can. see. thing about al hussein has been the united nations high commissioner for human rights since twenty fourteen in those four years the attacks on people safety and dignity seem to have reached into all corners of the world made mars' campaign to

drive hundreds of thousands of ethnic or him out of the country the abuse and denial of asylum heaped on migrants fleeing war and economic deprivation the carnage left behind in the civil wars in yemen and in syria as well as in those parts of syria and iraq once controlled by. one would think the calls on countries to do better would have been welcomed but the high commissioner has been criticized for pointing out where countries have failed to preserve human rights we discuss why human rights are under more pressure than ever and what should be done to protect them when say the god of hussein talk to al-jazeera. thank you for talking to al-jazeera consumers we're coming up on the end of your tenure and i wanted to ask you first just to get this out of the way you didn't ask for a second term you didn't think you would get the backing of the permanent five members

of the u.n. security council. and the thinking is al hussein is just too vocal zaid speaks his mind too much he's not diplomatic enough. why not get the p five on the record and say we needed someone who wasn't going to be so forward leaning on trying to get the world to respect human rights it's a good question i never really assumed when i took this job that i would need to supplicate or need to prostrate myself before governments because the office itself yes it's a part of the un but it's also part of a broader human rights movement and the job of high commissioner is to be effectively the ambassador of human rights and what does that mean it means that

you have human rights law and you have all been a geisha is upon states to abide by the law and where they don't do so you have to then defend the victims who either aren't deprived of their rights or that discriminated against when it comes to their rights or they live in fear and so my job was not to defend governments that can do that themselves my job was to defend and together with my office which i'm very proud to defend to defend the rights of everyone else individuals and in that sense i knew early on that i'm not going to have the backing for of the. permanent members of the security council in actual fact i would be concerned if i was on the outside and i saw that a high commissioner had won support of the p. five because i would suspect that they haven't done their job properly it almost goes without saying that the permanent five enjoy

a privileged status here in new york by dint of the use of veto in the security council in geneva they don't just won forty seven members on the. human rights council if they're serving on the human rights council and and so we in the human rights community look at their records and saying we will look at anyone else's records and assumption it's not just an assumption they don't like that so i knew it was going to be possible you raised eyebrows when you spoke at the refugees conference here couple of years ago when there said we're here because we as a global community have failed us people are so desperate that they're getting into a kitty ships and paying thousands of songs you know to people who don't have their welfare at heart yes and we're here because we haven't found the will to stop that from happening that's the reason that is that your biggest regret now it's an

acknowledgement of failure and that's why we have these compact so if we were doing everything correctly there is no need for everyone to gather and meet and discuss i mean it has to be placed into perspective this the number of peoples on the move globally. sort of is in the range of about four maybe four point five percent so ninety five an hour and i ninety five percent and above of people on this planet aren't static i mean they stay within their countries right so all of this hysteria that we see in this planet can be the trending toward the more extreme demagoguery is as a result of the small percentage of people who are actually moving across the planet what does that xenophobia come from we see it here in the u.s. we see it in central europe we see it in parts of southern europe we see it in some

parts of india where does that come from well it comes from a recognition by politicians that tactic works whatever the ills in society whatever the miscues by previous government's inability. of previous governments or indeed present governments to cope with current circumstances well then you pin point the blame on a particular community that seems different it seems alien that is vying for jobs and you. turn the hatred on them this is an old device the sad part of it is that it works and people tend to out of fear adhere to it and the politicians know it but there is a cautionary note is that the cautionary tale to this and that is that the logical extension of it is a sour outcome if you get chauvinist mash an ism

a bigotry. racist on the current moving and it reaches a certain pitch traditionally when we look at the historical record it's not easy to suddenly dismantle it and what do you tend to find is that conflict arises out of it because suddenly you're telling a people that they're no longer special that they're no longer somehow or superior to others that we're all in the same rights that we all have those rights and need to be treated equally whether on the basis of gender ethnicity you know whatever the circumstances may be your thoughts on michelle bachelet coming in as your successor. well i'm fortunate enough to know her personally and i encounter as a friend we worked together when she was head of un women and i couldn't be more delighted i think she has proven her credentials both as a leader within the u.n.

and as head of state of her own country and someone who really part of her life was subject to coercive practices and torture. you know you have a political leader of great substance and and. really strong willed so i couldn't be delighted and i've been looking forward to your transition from meter to her when we discuss north korea or d p r k it's all about killing young nuclear ambitions there seems to be absolutely no public discussion or urgency about its appalling human rights record. what pressure can you bring in your final weeks on the job to remind people this isn't about just north korea's military but the millions of people who have suffered under three leaders i would dispute that it's been forgotten i mean perhaps in the context of

the the immediate discussions that. seem to be taking place it's not being mentioned but i don't think it's it's easy for anyone to think that given the severity of the human rights violations detailed in the kirby commission's report but also by our office and that work is continuing and ongoing there is a fear that if the negotiations were to mature that somehow these issues would be downgraded and that's that's a fear we have for the respect to many. conflicts that begin to wind down and during the conflict there's a strong record for accountability that the perpetrators would be punished and as we work our way through the peace agreements and then and people say not now not now and we leave it to you know a few years when it's cool down a bit what we find though is that later in the comes even more difficult and you

can all the victims need to feel that they're at the center of these negotiations that their pain is being attenuated and if you don't do that then it becomes problematic so we'll watch the d.p. r. k. file closely and i'm sure my successor successor will and if we see that it's been it's basically been pushed off the table certainly we're going to be speaking about it then we speak about it quite regularly do you fear that even though he has the legal right to do so that kim jong il could be addressing the general assembly in september but i don't know i mean that i don't know and i mean you asked me a question and i haven't really given much thought about. i mean the position the does it create the wrong impression that he's been well very bad well i think i think i mean clearly there were two would raise a lot of eyebrows and i mean the position of the u.n. as i understand it is that if you're indicted by an international court for. the

atrocity crimes crimes against humanity war crimes crimes and. crime of genocide then it should be really be impermissible for you to turn up in new york. but if there hasn't been a charge like that it's it's it's the evidence is still being collected although there's very strong indications that the more severe human rights conditions exist . and certainly there would be a lot of criticism of the u.n. and high commissioner or an ex high commissioner wouldn't you're comfortable with that when you talk about technicalities that's certainly been the case in recent developments in the democratic republic of the congo. out of prison is filed his papers to run for president he was convicted of war crimes in the central african republic what happened here how did we get to this point.

well i haven't read the judgment of the. appellate judgment of the i.c.c. certain one way i don't want to go into it because i need to read the judgment right and then on the stand and certainly there were those within the international criminal law community who had their own feelings about the decision. but i would need to read myself and then form an opinion surge would be premature for me just to say anything about it but you can understand of course there are communities in the city there are but maybe limited there and even within that there are seeing who would see it as an odd. decision by the appellate body. on the other hand you know it's right legal systems in the world across the world we have decisions by courts that often arises reaction strong reactions.
