the good parts of florida want to see was there a possibility to cross the great around tilly's i'd also the west. this is al jazeera. hello i'm so robin you're watching the out of their news our lives my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes the u.n. calls a full meal miles top generals to be investigated and prosecuted for genocide. a new u.s. mexico trade deal donald trump says it replaces nafta id hopes canada will join. meanwhile the trumpet ministration bows to going criticism that it hasn't done enough to honor the late senator john mccain. and france's president says it's time

for europe to stop depending on america for its security. welcome to the news our united nations investigators say mere miles top military general should be investigated and prosecuted for genocide the recommendation is included in a fact finding mission report it concludes at least ten thousand people were killed after the military launched a crackdown on rohingya muslims in august last year hundreds of thousands fled across the border into neighboring bangladesh from june reports. the un says military commanders in me and more should be prosecuted for genocide against the real hinge or following their recent fact finding mission on me and more three investigators presented their report in geneva on monday. included among

the findings that me and mars armed forces also known as the top my down took actions that in the words of the un investigators undoubtedly amount to the greatest crimes under international law. the mission has concluded that criminal investigation and prosecution is warranted focusing on the top tatmadaw or generals in relation to the three categories of crimes under international law genocide crimes against humanity and war crimes after attacks by rohinton gunmen in iraq and state a year ago government forces began a crackdown against the rohingya the un says reports of up to ten thousand killed are conservative estimate. around three quarters of a million of the muslim minority fled to neighboring bangladesh many live here include to belong camp the largest refugee settlement in the world the report from un investigators includes accounts of numerous atrocities including gang rape in

slave meant and the killing of children there are hendra who are among the most persecuted minorities in the world have faced decades of persecution and sadly they've grown accustomed to the international community ignoring their plight reacting to the investigators findings rohinton rights activist says she's cautiously optimistic but wants action that has been a that level it's been a year now since you. say many international organizations have come here but we haven't seen any solution and all of us will hinge women have been wondering how much time we'll have to live inside everything. that's one of the reasons same many women went out to demonstration saturday. those large protests show they were him joe are growing tired of waiting for the world to act they mourned the first year anniversary of the beginning of the violence in iraq and state or is the real hindu demonstrators called it genocide remembrance day. as chairman of the society for

peace and human rights. has been working for months to document crimes against the ranger he's not at all surprised by what the u.n. fact finding mission reported yet you know what other than the genocide against his has been going on systematically for thirty years and the world didn't know now the u.n. fact finding mission has allowed the world to know with their work so we're hoping that this will be a lesson to the world so no other countries go through what we went through this is why we're working for justice. will less is there a hinge a will continue to demand justice even though justice isn't likely to be delivered soon mohammed. at the critical long refugee camp in cox's bazar bangladesh where the eco kumaraswamy as part of the un team that presented its findings he says all the evidence points to genocidal intent by the me and. we have had overwhelming evidence but that kind of crime has been committed our recommendation

is that they should be investigated and prosecuted for these crimes because in terms of the whole issue of genocidal intent which is a requirement for genocide there needs to be a criminal process so we ourselves did not find that it constituted genocide but except that the factors of genocide all seem to be present and that they should be investigated and prosecuted for genocide and these we mean the top military command of the tatmadaw we're happy to note that within the council human rights council there seems to be political will to set up a mechanism to preserve the evidence to collate it to get new evidence and basically function till a court is set up or a prosecutorial body is set up so we are happy to know that we will at least go that step we went to the camps in

a cock's bazaar just weeks after what happened in august and i must say what we found was quite horrific and the women actually showed me the scars on their bodies and a whole host of other indicators that showed that sexual violence of the worst kind had taken place and it was very very shocking and facebook has taken the pages linked to top military offices in me and all the companies that it removed or killed for twenty individuals and groups it includes pages associated with the armed forces commander in chief it's the first time facebook has taken such action against the country's leadership the social media was criticized in the past for allowing hate speech against the muslims on its side. the united states and mexico have agreed to a new bilateral trade deal it replaces the us mexico terms agreed in the north american free trade agreement that is not donald trump says he hopes canada will

join the deal he's spoken to canadian prime minister justin trudeau the white house says the two leaders have agreed to continue productive conversations a white house correspondent can really help get us more. frequently accusing the news media of not reporting on his accomplishments u.s. president donald trump brought reporters into the oval office oh to listen in real time to a phone call with mexico's president. where you good morning thank you enrique congratulations together the two leaders jointly announce their breakthrough by lateral deal changing parts of the north american free trade agreement that trump says hurts us worker i like to call this deal the united states mexico trade agreement i think it's an elegant name i think nafta has a lot of bad connotations for the united states because it was a rip off. the now after agreement was signed twenty four years ago between the

united states mexico and canada it saw many manufacturing jobs move south to mexico as a result where labor was cheaper one of the worst trade deals ever on the campaign trail trump promised to renegotiate nafta and bring back jobs particularly in the auto sector the new deal will require seventy five percent of an american car to be made in mexico or the united states up from sixty two percent workers making those vehicles must also be paid a minimum sixteen dollars an hour but missing from this latest agreement is canada will start negotiating with canon irrevocably soon they want to start they want to negotiate very badly. relations between the two countries have been frosty since trump slapped tariffs on canadian steel and aluminum canada's foreign minister will travel to the u.s. this week to restart negotiations but it's not clear canada will agree to the

changes the nafta changes still need to be approved by the u.s. congress follows weeks of negotiations between the united states and mexico their agreement now puts pressure on canada to remain a part of the pact kimberly held at al-jazeera the white house. mexico's president enrique pena nieto has said he hopes canada will return to talks with mexico and the u.s. john holden consolations from mexico city. just like the united states on monday makes her brand new book could be a new trade deal between the two countries as a trial it's something that the current administration have been working towards for more than a year and desperately wanted to get done before they leave office it's something also that the incoming administration which takes over in december who so desperately wanted to get out of the way they don't want the economic uncertainty that it brings clouding their first few months in office but there is

a problem here and that's canada canada is a member of the trading block with the united states and mexico that's covered by nafta and that was what was meant to be renegotiated here a deal between the three countries now the united states has suggested that it could just do this deal bilaterally with mexico mexico first said that canada really needs to be part of this pact but then later on on monday the mexican foreign minister came out and said although be preferable to have canada than the united states and mexico could do a deal on their own. what mexicans now know is that in either of those scenarios there will be trade agreement between mexico and the united states independently on what happens with the negotiations with canada we now have to see if mexico's incoming administration will hold the same view they describe canada as indispensable to the deal but it does reflect the fact that about eighty percent of

mexico's exports go to the united states the deal on the table at the moment might not be as beneficial to the country as before it might not have canada at the moment as mexico would like but at least it is a deal after an extended period of uncertainty with what is by far mexico's big. trading partner the north american free trade agreement created one of the world's largest free trade zones it came into effect in one thousand nine hundred four but the deal was laid years earlier nafta was pushed through congress by u.s. president bill clinton but it was president george bush sr who signed the pact two years earlier the deal made it easier for companies in the u.s. mexico and canada to move goods across north america's borders it's also got rid of tariffs on items traded among the three nations but now after pros and cons have been hotly debated the cost of many products has dropped and it's improved diplomatic relations but the biggest issue for president trump is the loss of u.s.

and the new fracturing jobs robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute says the deal is still in its very early stages. i view this as a press release in search of an agreement it's a handshake deal but i think without seeing the details without the inclusion of canada in the agreement we really don't know whether or not this is going to work and be acceptable to the u.s. congress and to the governments of mexico and canada so far this is really just a. revamp a restructuring of the existing deal they have tweaked some of the built in agreements concerning the levels of what are called domestic content that is to share a vehicle that must be built in north america they've added a new requirement that certain share of the workers must be paid a minimum of sixteen dollars an hour if they're going to get the benefits of this

agreement they've also expanded protections for intellectual property rights nay made some changes to agricultural provisions some of this is just updating some of it is refinement of the terms in the original agreement. the u.s. says it will block the reappointment of a judge at the world trade organization the appeals court holds hearings on international trade disputes the move could reduce the number of judges on the body to three which is the minimum number needed fold a call to function diplomats will have an impending crisis if no new judge is added to the bench. now the u.s. senate has paid tribute to john mccain's six decades of service he died of brain cancer on saturday two days after his death donald trump has said he respects mccain's walk the president had faced criticism after the u.s. flag on the white house was not flown a tough mast until the senate his burial mccain was

a staunch critic of the president and hundred quested that trumpet not attend his funeral vice president might pence is expected to speak out seventy honoring mccain on friday let's get a very latest from a correspondent of all bridles who joins does joins us from our washington bureau and rob really the reaction to trump's lack of words for mccain's death is now another hot debate in the u.s. what's being said well that's exactly right so the president came under considerable amount of pressure after he issued only a very brief very terse apparently deliberately so tweet on saturday after senator mccain passed away then there was a brief written statement. earlier on monday now the president has actually spoken in front of the cameras for the first time it was at a meeting or a dinner rather at the white house involving leaders of various evangelical

christian organizations and began by offering prayers and condolences for the victims of a shooting incident on sunday and in florida and then he switched gears to speak about senator john mccain and here's what he had to say. or hearts and prayers are going to the family of senator john mccain will be a lot of activity over the next number of days and we very much appreciate everything that senator mccain has done for our country so thank you. rob it does seem that john mccain's words all resonating from beyond the grave many across the u.s. do you get an impression that the president perhaps is on the back foot at the moment . very much so i think that is. sort of ungracious if you could put it that way

a response to senator mccain's passing not calling on the family in the days leading up to the senator's death as many other american leaders have done issuing that very brief and kind of cursory tweet and you know in the past he's also. disparaged. mccain most notably mocking him for his being shot down and taken prisoner in north vietnam in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven so the two men were not. very close to say the very least and i think that mccain. is in daf a kind of anti trumpy scene as the old school type of politician who worked with bipartisanship in areas like campaign reform immigration reform sometimes successfully sometimes less so but was always trying to

strike deals where as president from has his base he caters to his political base and he does not really make very many attempts to reach compromise with other political factions when we leave it out in our opening that the story is not going away to see him for the moment thank you. well plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including reports from saudi arabia that king solomon overruled his son on a key policy decision. also ugandan opposition leader bobby wine is released on bail but his legal troubles are far from over. and hitting out the frustrations and in a shocking first round exit for world number one samantha howlett at the u.s. open in new york.

the french president has called for the european union to stop relying on the united states for its security in a speech setting out his diplomatic agenda said europe needed to have an integrated defense policy with a common budget he also called for it to develop a trade in financial tools needed to fend off u.s. sanctions for thirty dollars for simply called did absolutely cuba have been gritter solidarity means we will have to look again at the structure of european defense and security by initiating a renewed dialogue on cyber security chemical weapons conventional weapon right territorial conflicts based security the protection of the polar zones in particular with russia i want us to launch an exhaustive reflection if with all of our european partners with a bottle of possible from power. imad omar can use this speech to the ambassadors to in a way promote his multilateral vision of the world and politics in the face of what

he sees as rising nationalism and populism in terms of the european union he said that the union must try and strengthen its abilities in terms of security and defense and not be so reliant on the united states and the french president said it is going to come up with some plans and some proposals on this issue in the coming months months which will include things like consultations with other e.u. members and partners like russia he didn't give any more details but there is no doubt that perhaps this fits into my calls vision of the strengthened and reformed european union we know in the past you've spoken about the possibility of an military force it also comes at a time when donald trump a certain distance himself from his nato allies well the french president also had some words for him brags that he said that britain he hopes can come to an agreement with you by the end of the year. but he said. not

compromise the integrity of. so personally the perfidious me pro european president really making his message very clear indeed that he intends to continue on his path to try and revive the blocks. well robert hunter is a former u.s. ambassador to nato joins me now live from washington d.c. via skype good to have you with us the start of the program less reliant on the u.s. i mean one wonders what the reaction will be from the trumpet ministration considering the president himself has been natascha said quite critical of european nations and even contribution to nato can they really set up an army like this can they fund it . well several questions there and the first was this really isn't new in the sense of sending a message to washington about french peak shared by a lot of other countries about the way mr trump is behaving making it just me or

not consulting and the like and i think actually mr trump would not be averse to this because he has said europeans should take more independent responsibility whether trump what actually liking what happened is another matter the problem of course is that none of your opinion countries in these in the defense field would be willing to put up the money that is required is simply not going to do it france is one of the few in the lead but most of the just over the nato allies the twenty nine nato allies only eight of them are even close to meeting the so-called two percent goal of gross domestic product for france and it's just not going to happen i think that i've grown sending messages to other countries as well let's us if such is the case mr then how important is it really u.s. perspective to have sort of a physical presence in europe and that influence in europe especially when there

are issues such as countering russia. if we talk about crimea for example. well i hope the united states under trump doesn't conduct conclusion that we can just walk away from europe we gain we americans gain and awful lot of influence still by being the leader of the alliance more than anybody else and still about having not troops there incidentally when it comes to dealing with russia when russia is being assertive as it has been in crimea ukraine there's no other country that can do it except the united states the french can't do it the germans can't do it and product out i think mr mark growers' kind of about being a bit naive when he said that he would want to lead an effort in it healing with the graham one beginning later this year provided of course that the kremlin started behaving according to agreements that he's already made with regard to ukraine that's not going to happen certainly not on her under french pressure i

think mr mccraw is also sending some other messages he's saying to the grid for example you cannot walk away from the your opinion and expect to be a major player and your we're not going to let that happen he's also saying to the other europeans really progress we have to pull together this nationalism has been going on and he singled out in the western countries oh really as emanating everybody including including in your country and ours he was also i think sending a message to mrs merkel out of the chancellor of the front a republic of germany saying look you and i are we can work together to be the leaders of europe and then see where we can take it and if the united states chooses to have to walk away we will be ok we think in reality is not true but it leads us to start from his perspective that if we just put the logistics to one

soit we say that crawls being initiated by the potential of the united kingdom to leave the european union into. untying nineteen the united kingdom is one of the largest military forces in europe in the e.u. that fold that has precipitated the commons full of much smaller e.u. be it without the u.k. that have to deal with issues and incidents that require an e.u. response when we see how ricans all floods globally it is an e.u. combined fulls that goes ahead a small eighty year without the united kingdom does create problems for the likes of friends in germany or france who are already saying we we don't think we can count on the british the british are pretending that they can continue to be a major player in europe but not nearly what the kind of organic nature or what relationship with her would be and in fact i think you sending

a message to the british you're going to have to come clean with how much you're her to do with us and oh by the way we french once again are all the way back to general to go fifty years ago where you are prepare to be the leaders of our german friends of course but if you brits don't want to be part of it well we can live without you for the moment i think we'll leave it there robert hunter thing pleasure speaking to you thanks for your time sir thank you. the u.s. is urging saudi arabia to cut the number of civilian deaths in the war in yemen the pentagon says a senior u.s. general met with saudi leaders last week to deliver a message of concern c.n.n. is reporting that the pentagon is threatening to reduce support if civilian deaths continue at the current level earlier this month the coalition bombed a school bus killing dozens of children the u.s. is providing intelligence and logistical support to the coalition in its fight against iranian backed who three rebels. the reuters news agency is reporting that

saudi arabia's king saul man has stepped in to prevent the national oil company from issuing shares to the public his son crown prince mohammed bin soloman wants to sell five percent of the company known as around officially the saudi government says the i.p.o. has been perspire and not canceled but according to the report the king doesn't want to disclose company details to regulators something that any listing on a western stock exchange would require. robert mogul nicky is a senior analyst at the sea wall group a consultancy an advocacy organization he says saudi arabia's economic outlook is improving. we have to remember back when this i.p.o. was announced it was early two thousand and sixteen the economic context was very different than it is now saudi arabia was coming off of a year where their budget deficit reached close to one hundred billion dollars the price of oil was still low there were a lot of reforms that were on the agenda but had yet to be implemented and i think

we have to remember that that's the context within which the i.p.o. idea came about now. after the enthusiasm around that i.p.o. has subsided we see a very different economic context in saudi arabia the i.m.f. issued relatively positive consultation that they concluded in july we saw growth non oil growth reaching about two point three percent a decrease in the but year on year budget deficit from about nine to four point five percent expected in two thousand and eighteen and also the introduction of various other economic measures like the value added tax and reducing fuel subsidies so of course there's going to be some disappointment from global investors that we're very hungry for to be part of this i.p.o. there will certainly be disappointment from some policymakers within saudi arabia that hoped that they could generate approximately one hundred billion dollars from this i.p.o. that would then feed into the public investment fund well still ahead here all the

news iraq goes to the its national cool to justice seeking relief from the u.s. sanctions also germany's chancellor pushes back to find the right protests in the city it's. good for a country cricket. pakistan's baseball players are using some of the same skills to impress at the asian games we'll have that story in schools. by the spring time flower of amounted. to the first snowfall on the wind. stage. fright the flooding rains continue for taiwan we got some more heavy downpours coming in across the southeast of china and that wet weather still in place now it's been raining here for the last eight or nine days and we are going to see the flooding rains continuing through choose dake i wanted to wettest yeah i'm afraid those heavy downpours will continue for the still shop show is probably

on the other side of the wall to say just coming into the southeast of china hong kong to this but see more lively sad little bit of localized flooding said the possibility that when there was bad as taiwan of course but the showers they extend all the way to northern parts of vietnam joining up in the show is that we have across the northern areas of thailand as well some rather wet weather is still here come further south it is generally of a shabby nature as we would expect and i shall as well because we want to see showers there into northern parts of borneo into somalia. heavy downpours continuing there for a todd again some localized flooding certainly a possibility the showers that we have in thailand the wet weather well that shows up with a very heavy rain that we have now pushing back into me i'm on central and northeastern parts of india also seeing some lively showers tending to nuzzle little further north was but do you notice i was never too far from kerala. the way that sponsored by cattle and peace. where there are on line this isn't some abstract issue which

we need to pay attention to their stores or if you join us on sad rather than stopping terrorism is creating it this is a dialogue and just the community is want to add to this conversation we need a president who's willing to be a short while everyone has a voice and part of civil society but i never get listened to by those in the corridors of power join the conversation. going out to zero. al jazeera. you have a you're. welcome

back you're watching al-jazeera i'm still robin a reminder of our top stories u.n. investigators say mere man's top military general should be prosecuted for genocide the recommendation is included in a fact finding mission report it concludes at least ten thousand people were killed after the military launched a crackdown on running the muslims in august last year also the united states and mexico have agreed a new bilateral trade deal it replaces the us mexico terms in the north american free trade agreement known as nafta donald trump says he hopes canada will join the deal. and french president manuel micro has called for the european union to stop

relying on the united states for its security. crossers europe needs to have an integrated defense policy with a common budget and he called for the development of trade and financial tools to fend off u.s. sanctions. more our top story now and the un's call for me involves top generals to be charged with genocide our salon if the car is a human rights lawyer for the burma task force a u.s. based advocacy group working to end violence against the ring in the a bar and joins me now on skype very good to have you with us from washington d.c. recommendations are one thing executing those recommendations are going to be much more difficult you're absolutely right you know i think the first important thing to keep in mind is that the united nations they don't use the word genocide genocide and internationalize the term of art and actually trigger its protections under the genocide mentioned in other treaties which now the u.n.

security council must decide whether or not they recommend the international criminal court. to issue genocide in don't it's against america's military that is a good first step in the right direction in terms of sort of a that's a court of quick legal approach to what happens in the immediate now all what do you expect the international community to do. well you know i think the first instance here is that it's going to go to the u.n. security again because this fact finding mission to find me in my room was committing genocide and now the security council is going to have to do whether or not you are referred to the i.c.c. the problem here. is that both china and russia which are a bull's permanent members of the u.n. security council have been tested this reporting to me and my government and they all are and so again there's going to need to be more international market pressure you're going to start to see many security council member countries issue sanctions

against me out of our troubles freezes similar to what the united states and our u.s. treasury department has recently done so then we're going to start to see the ratcheting up of pressure against myanmar government with this thing you touched on the point that genocide is a very important word to use in a scenario like this and in speaking to you before this interview you also said that genocide makes the government to naypyidaw comply and to stop doing what they're doing but they've always denied genocide they've always denied targeting their writing so how do you actually expect the government they put or to cooperate . doesn't mean good question and i don't think that any you know any government that has committed genocide whether it's nazi germany or all i know the former. i would never admit to committing these acts and that's why it's the onus of the international community there is a doctoring under international law the responsibility to protect it's called r two

p. and this is what you know is that every country has there is absolutely to their own citizens and then you know then the international community so you know and there are to be doctor in the international community is now stepping in and being as well to the security council and then eventually god willing to let you know. it's all very well to have these investigations and edicts coming from u.n. personnel we've also seen the same sanaa rio happen with syria where various u.n. personnel and senior politicians and international governments and capitals have said something has to happen with syria and as you say in the security council russia and china have a veto how how do you expect this situation to be any different if we're just talking about the way the veto works in the u.n. security council how do you expect the international community to progress on an international audience watching this program watching in the next few weeks thinking you know the u.n. and the international community can't really do anything. well i think the

distinction needs to be made there syria is a little bit different than me and one in syria is killing all syrians killing all people i think the analogy that we should use here with me you know maher is rwanda bosnia where certain ethnic religious and racial groups are being specifically targeted and discretely. were being killed at other mass with the intent to destroy in whole or in part an entire demographic group which is the definition of genocide and so i think that's important to keep in mind is that burma has over a hundred different ethnic groups but is the root india muslim minority in burma that is active. for the. salon if the car i think. will be the light and by your clarification of thanks very much for being on the program my pleasure thank you. uganda's high court has granted bail to opposition leader bobby wine the thirty six year old musician turned politician was

detained two weeks ago and charged with treason now he's accused of inciting supporters to attack a convoy carrying president to yarima seventy catherine sawyer has more from the capital kampala. freedom for bobby wine twelve days after his arrest blocked up by both the military and the police he accuses of. wine is charged with treason along with thirty two others after presidential where he was seven his motorcade during the recent local election campaign what do you want to listen to during the course of the show well let us not many ugandan such as radio presenter james peterson have closely watched developments. he dedicated an hour off show to bobby white and his music it's been a big hit for young people oddly my jury did and most times they have sat back and said well you know politics is for the old for but right now the young people waking up and wanting to get involved in the future of this country ugandan politics have been controlled by presidential. who has ruled for thirty two years

and that divided opposition led by keyes and who was arrested recently for young people harbor the greatest stake and the responsibility for it without on. and that's why you did the young people are standing up in many townships such as this one in the capital kampala where wind grew up it's all about his message. this is a song recently produced by other musicians calling for his food on many gondolas who are struggling to make ends meet paul b.-y. understands their problems he was raised in poverty in this township and he has worked in music and politics to get away from the families say that his popularity has transcended tribal differences and a lot of people in different parts of the country. i'm talking about i why no posed a reason he passed you know ending the seventy five years old age limit for

presidents the seventy to seventy four years old there's america that was the first one also led protests against attacks on social media users what as opinion as politics is that if a seam i do and we say it's that person's so it's visit israel russia. for fifteen years then comes by. to be one of them. but what about me many ugandans say the treason charge is trumped up by the government to suppress dissent government officials say the politician incited people to violence uganda's next election is due in twenty twenty one the. popularity perhaps highlights how that election will shape up by winning the hearts and minds of young frustrated ugandans they're desperate for political change catchy song al-jazeera kampala. u.s. president donald trump and his kenyan counterpart who held talks at the white house

it's the second time trump has met a leader from sub-saharan africa since taking office but to discuss trade and investment as well as strengthening security ties. very very good example for asian especially in off fight against terrorism because of the neighborhood where women. are faced with sure the united states has been a very strong and solid partner but more importantly we're here to push through and to strengthen our trade and investment ties. and the united states says it will vigorously defend an iranian legal challenge at the un's highest court iran wants the international court of justice to suspend unilateral u.s. sanctions imposed three weeks ago though put in place after the u.s. pulled out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal to her on accuses the u.s. of plotting economic strangulation and says it may even take military action in the gulf to block other countries oriel exports lawlessly has been following the

proceedings from the hague the iranian side spends its three hours of court time here on monday trying to do two things in front of the judges first of all to explain how very damaging the american sanctions were everything from issues to do with renewable energy projects aircraft parts car manufacturers who now couldn't invest in iran sports going down the debasing of the iranian economy all of these things a direct result of the american sanctions program their lawyers said but at the same time trying to link that back to one thousand nine hundred fifty five very obscure trade agreements sixty three years ago signed between the u.s. and iran a treaty of amity of friendship and the friendly behavior beside between the two countries and the iranians saying that the sanctions regime has broken the treaty of amity the lead lawyer for the iranian side made a very clear that they had no choice but to come to this court because all of the

political and diplomatic avenues that simply failed to trace the moment to a corner make pressure. sans to settle the dispute through diplomatic means did not succeed. here or had no other choice but to seize the international court of justice with the present requests are sixteen too large because of the american side of course contest this entirely their legal team left without comment and they'll have their three hours here on tuesday their main argument is likely to be that the treaty that was signed when the u.s. and iran with friends sixty three years ago doesn't apply anymore because in the after nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution all the different sets american sanctions the floating fifty five simply doesn't mean anything and anyway the americans have the biggest thing in their favor which is that even if in the end

this court agrees with iran that decision might be binding but the u.s. doesn't actually have to go by what the court says so it's a good attempt i think by iran to try to get somewhere with this but ultimately likely to not be very successful when you cabinet has been sworn in in australia it follows the ousting of malcolm turnbull as prime minister last week he's been replaced by scott morrison turmel's expected to resign from parliament on friday that'll put more pressure on the government's already slim majority. czech republic is the latest european country to face the fallout from a lengthy summer heat wave a major river has dried up exposing hydrological landmarks which have been seen for hundreds of years a summer binge of its reports. an ominous message from the year sixteen sixteen the inscription reads when you see this we. the boulders have reappeared in the river elbe which flows through the czech republic the czechs call them the hunger storms and the drying river has revealed dozens of them before you know what they said was
