child sex abuse the pope francis didn't waste any time. we going to show. i cannot fail to acknowledge the great scandal caused in ireland by the abuse of young people by members of the church charge of the responsibility for that metatron in education the failure of ecclesiastical authorities to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage i myself share the sentiments ireland's prime minister has been at the helm of social reforms in the country including the recent popular vote to legalize abortion long prohibited by the catholic church he said it was time to build a new relationship between church and state people kept in dark corners behind closed doors cries for help that went on heard. and these wounds are still open. and there is much to be done to bring about justice and truth and healing for the

tourism accounts for twelve percent of the southern indian state's economy and twenty percent of its jobs organists flooding has already hit the industry hard i think about thirty five creative person cancellations have happened during that. and everyone all the tourists. have gone back. a similar percentage of september's bookings have been canceled to the floods damaged roads rail lines and airports making it hard for visitors to get around they also damage the places they might stay over is it. this annual boat race normally happens in august this year it was cancelled. but though many of those in kara when the rains hit left and many about to come change their plans not all days. after finishing a volunteer study and work placement arena both. have stuck to their plans spending time in still in kerala but just south of the worst of the floods we were thinking

about moving maybe to go well but at the end we we thought that it was ok to move here. the british family visiting relatives in carolina has also decided to stay by mount st helens to tell you. what exactly we're going to get given to. us in the back but. i think that's what it's will help this time like. having all. the biggest impacts will be felt from october when the peak tourist season for carola begins those in the industry expect a twenty to twenty five percent drop for the season as a whole. marketing campaigns present this paradise but that image is undermined when these are the images broadcast internationally and state. carolus tourism minister was helping to flood aid collection point last week but he is confident

the visitors will be back to the summit going to a whole industries badly affected devastated i'm confident that we'll get our former glory back but it's going to take a lot of work the reason carol is so lush and beautiful is that every year it gets a lot of rain the rain this year of course has been exceptional but those in the tourism industry hope the state and the bounce back more beautiful and just as popular as before andrew thomas al-jazeera baccarat carol. to yemen now where the government has reopened the historic cairo castle and five to visitors just days after regaining control of the site from the and rotting back to. the gates for the last four years the coffee has been used as barracks alan fischer reports from labor in djibouti. it's historic it's impressive now it's back in control of the local population. carol castle stands at the foot of the mountain overlooking the city of tire is in the yemen highlands the last four years has been used as

a barracks for you back to abu abbas brigades but a government military commission has no taken back control. but that is that i believe the reopening of the castle after four years of closure sends a clear message that the state will extend its authority over every inch of the country no faction or party will ever have sovereignty or control over time as. this is a site loved by the locals and loved by the children who know little of its history built more than eight hundred years ago cairo castle is the city's top destination for tourists from all over the world that are sound. it is always great to paint a smile on chill. faces that's what we've seen from the first day the number of visitors is far beyond what was expected it's the city's most important to restrict and historical site well the castle walls will remain solid it will need some restoration work it was shelled by coalition warplanes in twenty fifteen when it

was used as a with the pointer stronghold. and most of you cannot describe the overwhelming feeling as we wonder at the highest point in toys we do not know how to express our delight the reopening of the castle has restored the civic nature of the city. cairo castle has a long and colorful history the events of the last four years especially know that it's back in the hands of local people will be another chapter another story to be handed down from generation to generation alan fischer al-jazeera in djibouti. and i get on the list of a problem and the headlines on al-jazeera. be inaugurated as president the country's top court rejected a legal challenge by the main opposition leader nelson chamisa after mulling gargle was declared the winner of last month's presidential vote. u.s.

and. it was promoted as a masterpiece of the saudi crown prince vision it plans to sell shares in the state owned oil giant have been postponed so where this is leave saudi arabia's efforts to raise money and diversify its economy this is inside story. welcome to the program i'm richelle carey saudi arabia has reportedly delayed its plans still a share as

a. state owned oil company ram co on the stock market media reports say the initial public offering has been postponed indefinitely but the saudi government has disputed this the energy minister. says the government is committed to conducting the i.p.o. at the appropriate circumstances and time the plan to float around five percent of aramco was expected to be the world's largest stock sale and it lies at the heart of crown prince mohammed bin solomon's vision to transform the economy but the government is faced widespread criticism for its crackdown on dissent and its military campaign and yemen so why is aramco important it was set up more than eighty five years ago in a sense become the largest oil and gas company in the world and manages the kingdom's large oil reserves of over three hundred billion barrels its average daily crude production is ten point two million barrels a day but there's no clear data on how much the company is worth some analysts say

it could be valued at one point two trillion dollars significantly lower than the official figure of two trillion dollars. as we have mentioned around coas at the center of the crown prince's reforms well to be implemented by two thousand and thirty the vision aims to diversify the saudi economy and make it less dependent on oil and includes building the world's largest solver and wealth fund and a five hundred billion dollar economic city called the oem but in a move that was widely criticized last year the saudi crown prince arrested dozens of saner members of the royal family government ministers and businessmen and what he said was an anti-corruption drive most were released after giving up their assets or paying billions of dollars the crown prince has also pledged to return saudi arabia to what he calls a moderate islam women have been allowed to drive and attend sporting events and then almost forty year ban on cinemas and cultural events hasn't it let's bring in our panel here in doha masood so here it director of the gulf studies center of

qatar university in washington d.c. mohamed chicago a professor of conflict resolution of george mason university and in singapore and joining us on skype james dorsey he is a senior fellow at the s. rajaratnam school of international studies at nanyang technological in a verse city a welcome to all of you thank you for joining me i'm actually going to start with the first question with all of you and i'll go to you first issue are you surprised by this delay. to be honest i'm not surprised of the the city has been now reported about the change of the plan about that. and i would like actually to put all of this into. real context. we have to remember that the whole issue of iran who is coming into a wide perspective with the political context which started with the emerging or after the death of conduct the law and the merging of concealment from the day one

of that. era it was clear that the settlement is will be the next king after his father and since that time there was focus on two main issues one is you know that that is the need the debate about political reform need to be stopped and need to be re directed and to be directed to need you need to create to bring to present or to suggest a new topic for the debate and that was the political economy reform and the core of the economic reform was the story and the and other details which came which basically after that story so i think. there is nothing to be surprised about if we remember that this is. the whole issue is about marking there are concerned man one hundred settlement of the there is something important they are doing in the country and the main titles political economic reform to lead and to

consider the. unimportant compared with the previous kings. going to take into salaries and you touched on on some of them that are you surprised that this has been delayed indefinitely. no i'm not and i think what has happened so far in deciding the fate of the amp or i p or is a short. like short picture for or a token of asking the big question to what extent it reflects the dialogue of crown prince mohammed as a man and they think that is a difference between expectations and the know so positive reality and i think back in two thousand and sixteen when he announced this deal he was building his momentum to become a future king and therefore now the momentum is waning away he and others in rio

expected to generate a clist one hundred billion dollars of the five percent share of the company however to the best scenario best case scenario analysts are predicting no more than between fifty and seventy five billion dollars so i think there is a mismatch between what the premise and man for seeing is for his reform plan and his twenty thirty vision and do real assessment of world markets in terms of approaching or kind of keeping distance from this. and i think there is also the political uncertainty and most of the vote in or the kind of the adventure is decided by many summit in yemen and libya annan also of his of iran have also shadow this and have added to this and so that sort of the global investors are now taken making a second reflection on whether to go forward toward this ipod or four or sort of.

we should also add that the fluctuation of the oil market and now the search for alternative energy is not on the side of the out on the guy paul at the present time ok. well come back to some of those issues that. james i suspect i know your answer to whether or not you're surprised because muhammad actually used the word that you have written about you said he meaning muhammad been solomon has been very good at creating expectations but not as good at managing expectations you think that's appropriate and appropriate description for how this is all played out in d we've known for a conservative period of time that the i.p.o. at very best would be of late and may not ever happen the problem with all of this is that mohammed bin some money has indeed been very good at creating expectations but if you look at the last several months multiple incidents whether it's the.

arrest of human rights activists whether it's various incidents in yemen with the killing of the deaths of children and women and other civilians or the spat with canada mohamed bin so mom and the saudis have been reactive they've been behind the car instead of in front of the cart so with other words if you're clear that this i.p.o. is not going to happen within the timeframe that you initially had announced that you were going to be strongest if you were up front with managing the publicity and the the expectations in terms of the delay and what's going to happen mohamed some of them some of the saudis have not been able to do that. measure of you mentioned this a little bit do you think that this is more of a. financial and economic failing or is this

a political failing or or that the two enter twined when you're talking about saudi arabia. actually it is both because colonel prince mohammed bin sandman wanted to enter his his air of being a king with the successes in hand and that means basically he wanted as my colleagues were mentioning he presented an amazing expectation and he was aiming or hoping maybe hoping that some of this expectation will be achieved while he can out of prince crown prince and then while after that of you he becomes a prince a king you know he will have some achievements in hand as we see as we see the situation the whole thing is coming to from the gate of political change i mean they wanted the political change that political change has two main pillars one is the size of the storm in yemen which we saw the consequences of that and how much it's costing and we show the other pillar what's basically the economy changes

inside saudi arabia let's remember the two main pillars is being decided top down basically the these are not a decision which should lie on a popular demands of course there was some anger against iran and yemen maybe people they wanted the. economy to form but i'm not sure they wanted these things as we were presented by the monarch and so they did it so basically what we see what what we were seeing so far is some you know decision were made in a political economic context assuming those will bring some changes or some achievements those will help crown prince i'm not sure that all of this actually you know have brought any kind of change or a serious change actually with the criticism that the kingdom is facing room or rights organization and from even the united states about what's happening in saudi arabia these kind of achievements. apparently are disappearing and we are

witnessing another day lemon that they condemn is facing and i think the decision made in. last a few days these are the more you know curt except you ation to the situation was or was ordered to do was get sick so i think yeah ok jefferson i want to bring it into this conversation so when you want to launch an i.p.o. you're you're inviting the world into your home into your books into a level of scrutiny that saudi arabia has never really faced or had to answer to anyone for do you think that they are prepared for that muhammad. well it depends on when we ask this question i remember back in two thousand and sixteen early two thousand and seventeen there was an influx of phone on c. and c. or was coming from all over the world to riyadh and some of the matter with for two to three days to meet the representatives of course or to me that was the attacks

or the highest level of this i've because that has created a lot of vibration in world markets but now i don't think that many c.e.o.'s would go to riyadh searching for that meeting or that discussion i would like also to add that if we can so that this kind of yes or no question to whether there will be an be or it reflects badly on the political economy of saudi arabia and then come advancement and let me also add another factor that is now kind of hindering the momentum which is how mcgoohan solomon was good articulate in what they call symbolic politics a lot of symbolism a lot of predictions a lot of expectations however when it comes to the delivery or the of these promises it seems that he cannot achieve much let alone that the next twelve months between now and two thousand and thirty not going to keep the same vibration or the

same strength that he hoped for therefore i think it's a matter of bad management and also not being aware that the global markets can have a different assessment in other words the difference between an inside out expectation and an outside in a system of what can deliver a cannot so james do you think that what mohamed describing is mohamed bin sol months later said style being. is it naive is it hubris what how would you describe it. well i think it's not thought through let me just say a couple of things which in response to what was just said by both speakers this much job is going to allow me i want to just fine tune what he said mohammed bin some is about economic and social change in saudi arabia not about political change

and he's about geo political change in the region i think one of the problems with the approach and in the sense pointed out been some on this that there's a difference between seen on c.s. bankers fund managers willing to come in and people who are direct foreign direct investment we've seen very little of the latter and much of what has been some on once good cheap depends not only on funding but also on foreign direct investment the third point i'd like to make is that while we're talking about the do lay of the of an i.p.o. an i.p.o. is not the only alternative or the only option available to them so there is also the option of a private equity sale for example to the chinese now that would invent the ways be easier it would not give. saudi arabia the publicity and everything

that goes with the night but he would get the funding and a lot less questions would be asked or at least those questions would be asked in private rather than in public james i want to follow up on that do you think that that's something that. can seem to have been someone in a while family actually really considering another option besides this i.p.o. or is there did they have to say face. well the optional bill of the night of the private equity sale particularly to the chinese has been touted for significant period of time and the chinese have actually hinted that they may be interested in that so i think in this in a real option and in many ways that is a way to save face because what it is is selling the state in the company well that you do that publicly or privately in that sense doesn't really matter.

mazumdar what role did the u.s. and donald trump perhaps and virtually play in and causing these challenges these programs and what i mean by that donald trump obviously was excited about the i.p.o. he tweeted about it except our center but he's also put pressure on saudi arabia to pump more oil that means cheaper crude oil prices that lowers the valuation of the company was there a connection there. you know we may say there is a connection between what what was happening so that even in the last. two three years and especially after the storm came to poet i think the connection was was made between the saudi arabia and america and the station may indicate the relations between all of that but i do agree with you that the contradiction the contradiction within the american foreign policy towards so the idea itself becoming a problematic to the to the saudis because basically they want to please the

americans but they cannot have the the revenue they expect and with the pressure on them to you know to sell more and. take into consideration the price is down as well and pleasing the u.s. on a couple of different fronts because there's the there's a financial front there's the oil front there's economics and then there's also the human rights issues that what's happening in yemen civilians being bombed it seems said that's coming more and more to the fore the forefront do you think that as this war in yemen continues to drag on there continues to be a public outcry about the alleged war crimes that are happening there the civilians that are get getting killed is that type of thing make launching an i.p.o. and being so public more difficult for saudi arabia. i think the cost of the human war with whether it's financially or politically is becoming

a real burn on the shoulders of so these and i think day by day this become problematic to the policy and to the even domestic politics of course we see sort of level of hypocrisy on american foreign policy towards what happened in yemen because they know we know that americans are involved in a way or other on that world whether on selling logistics or the weapons or weapons providing information regardless what is the void the level of involvement we can discuss it with her ten percent twenty percent fifty percent but there is the involvement and they can become you know someone that can ask them what is about this level of involvement in that war if you are honest about the criticism of saudi arabia and the killing for the killing of yemenis civilian. civilians so i think there is a real cost the saudis are paying concern a man and his son because of this war and i think it is increasing rapidly i mean

we see now the increasing criticism about what happened in yemen but also we see i think internally i would argue that's one of the reasons behind the the changing of decision about who is the war in yemen because. let's remember the saudis want to control that on oil because this is the only source of revenue share if they want to sell the shares of the guards the percentage this means they would have another hand in that cake and they don't want anyone to to be part and that they want to have it for themselves and they don't want anyone to upset them or to annoy them how to spend money until the hunted all you know keanu let me ask you this a vision the vision twenty thirty there's there are valid critiques of it obviously but at the core of it is wanting to diversify your economy and not so bait dependent on oil that's that's a lot of because other countries have had that same goal that it's it's never that easy what is the biggest challenge why is this always so difficult for countries to

do to accomplish. well first there is merit in fortune for a an economic reform in the next twelve years but the question is how the arabia will proceed in implementing inducive forms apparently it is this idea of the versification of sectors and also moving toward technology. so there would like to have silicon valley and its own territory but the question is that now i think that if i cannot be put in a market why they aren't prices above seventy dollars three years ago oil price was just thirty five so i'm wondering when it can benefit from the eiffel and whether it is a solid investment in global markets so i'm left with the ironic question that probably we are just creating dreams also the other child

within saudi arabia is this a entered in a kind of intersect there or cross section reform or is just a top down reform where you have certain companies that are seeking or benefiting from this diversification while the bottom i know and now the unemployment rate stands at twelve point nine percent which is quite high and this is three years of that the announcement of the twenty thirty vision so i think that there are certain contradictions between what we plan what we publicize in front of cameras and whether we can push them toward full implementation let alone that it is also it seems to me that there is the element of micromanagement you have been cinnamon and he is friends who are trying to control the all economy reform and this is

not that kind of in or well thought of plan to move forward therefore if micromanagement doesn't help then when saudi arabia will open up to other approaches so in other words is there a real business model within the twenty thirty vision james are going to have than the last question here you cause you brought up a great point that social and political change are not nice are not really the same thing can saudi arabia launch a successful i.p.o. without having some sort of significant political change. i think we've got to be clear on what makes night successful in this case there were two issues one of the actual nomic issues including the valuation of the company which has been some monthly two trillion dollars which has been long questioned in that questioning of the of the valuation predates the pressure from president trump to

with regard to the oil prices the second level. of consideration is the confidence you have in mohamed than some bonds ability to basically implement reform and vision two thousand and thirty and what you've seen and that's what the yemen war comes in it's not a direct bearing on the i.p.o. with such but what you've seen over the last several months is. in the ability to manage confidence and to manage expectations and show the appetite to invest if you're not certain that the reforms are going to go through and that this is going to that promise of some money can be a leader in the process. then that undermines. the chances of the i.p.o. and that's i think what we see what actually goes to the hamas point so that it's about sustaining the moment and the enthusiasm and that the longer this goes on

perhaps the more that and yes go ahead jim i think the way to look at this is this been someone was brilliant and creating expectations when he launched this in two thousand and thirty when he lifted the ban on women's driving when he introduced an entertainment industry he was brilliant in. could be having the high ground when we visit the united states and europe and was able to dominate the media with its myth and what we're seeing right now is exactly the opposite and that works against you and against the saudi chances of succeeding. all right james that will be the final word thank you all for joining me in that i appreciate it michel it's a hairy mahama sure calley and james dorsey and thank you for watching you can see the program again any time if you get our website al-jazeera dot com you can also

only one last month's election in the first post and the pendants vote out mugabi but the opposition has refused to accept what it's called fake results let's go to our correspondent now tossers joining us live from the national sports stadium in harare where modern god was set to be an all rated so what are we likely to hear from the president when he delivers his address. what he's going to talk about unity you know that each one with a narrow margin which means nothing to me that he made opposition leader had a log on. so you're going to have to try to convince him by way that you would be a privilege for everyone not just the barnaby if you will also want to hear about his cabinet for example going to be and it will be the same old really pretty new fresh i believe cute young people from the opposition both wanting you to go give now i think you need the main opposition leader from time to position in the

government a little when you want to reset and since he actually won the election so what next for him for the opposition. one if you don't have a need and when there were a day they were going to announce the way forward we have been a going to try and approach the african union the united nations a veto body that they can intervene. still in the all that the politics may be aware me about going on the street can ride and give our good boy speculation some people in the leadership among the opposition not happy would now think chinese are the only shit all over when morgans like it i died a few months of going from people wanting to leave it felt he was a few inexperienced politically he promised things that he wanted the election the cockpit he didn't know we're hearing from people want him out he may not be the media but he like maybe twenty three we could see

a lot of pressure on him to step out of the darkest part of some people feel he got the right person for the job but what it's actually very much for that for now that is how to mythos and live it and how to thank you. let's move on to other news now and u.s. senator john mccain has died of the age of eighty one they've been suffering from brain cancer mccain spent more than five years as a prisoner of war in vietnam and more than three decades as a republican senator in two thousand and eight he ran for president against then senator barack obama mike hanna takes a look back at his life. from prisoner of war to presidential candidate in two thousand and eight john mccain mounted a challenge against barack obama but lost in a landslide my friends we have we have come to the end of a long journey. people have spoken and they have spoken clearly he returned to the senate where he served as a senator for arizona more than thirty years after the war hero posts in the trump

election a man with whom mccain had a prickly relationship in the past which did not improve senator mccain emerged as the conscience of the republican party in pushing back against several actions of a president who was the party's new voice on the trump travel ban i think the effect will probably in some areas give isis some more propaganda we don't want to shake news on threats against the media when you look at history the first thing the dictators do is shut down the press and i'm not saying that that's that that president trump is trying to be a dictator i'm just saying we need to learn the lessons of history. on the likely reaction of past leaders to claims of alternative facts they would be alarmed by the growing inability and even an willingness to separate truth from lives senator mccain served in the vietnam war has aircraft shot down over her noyo he broke his

leg and arms suffered torture and spent more than five years as a prisoner of war before returning to the u.s. as a war hero a description he humorously undercut during this visit to the libyan city of benghazi in two thousand and eleven they also served in the united states navy for many years i was a pilot. but i'm not a very good pilot i was shot down diagnosed with cancer and recovering from head surgery john mccain received a standing ovation when he returned to the hill for a crucial senate vote in the motion is agreed to. he followed the republican line in voting to open a debate on repealing the affordable care act but in his speech was deeply critical of a senate that he described as more. and more tribal than ever before let's trust each other let's return to regular order we've been spending our wheels on too many

important issues because we keep trying to find a way to win without help from across the aisle and a few days later in the early hours of the morning john mccain put principle before party. defying immense republican pressure to support a bill repeating barack obama's health legislation he's back. and in that moment he rose above the senate mired in endless squabble offering the hope that governance by consensus rather than by command could still be possible. right at times john mccain could be wrong but on the strong matic nighty demonstrated truth to himself and to the country he devoted his life to serving. now william schneider as a political analyst and he says john mccain was admired by people on five the political divide in the us. he's a beloved figure not primarily for his ideology or his partisanship which are

overvalued these days but because of his personal qualities i remember covering the twenty eight republican primaries and we wondered how did john mccain do so well among republicans when he departed from conservative orthodoxy on a lot of issues we answer was his votes came from republicans who admired him as a person as a heroic figure as a person of great moral leadership they admired his records his experience his values it was very very personal for most voters not just republicans who supported john mccain and some democrats who supported him as well when he was captured in vietnam he refused to be released he north vietnamese offered to release him because of his personal stature and his father was a navy naval officer and he refused to be released unless other officers were released at the same time and so he actually. captivity on the basis of principle and then established his image forever as a man of high principle in fact i would argue the dung trumps the lowest moment

came during the campaign when he insulted john mccain and said he was captured i don't like people who were captured and that was an unforgivable statement and it was i think donald trump's the lowest moment in politics to have gotten stand now when the national security advisor mohamad has resigned but the government under increasing pressure after a spike in fighting with the taliban some reports suggest off my could be preparing to challenge president gandhi in next year's election as specification has been accepted by ghani but he's rejected the resignations of the ministers of defense and tyria and head of the national director of security and achieve a political analyst and writer and couple and he says public criticism and pressure led to the resignations. the security situation inside afghanistan was. especially the take on the gangs in the province and i took on the president who told. us how did the deal was going to income came undone superior criticism
