across the globe. the u.n. calls for top generals and me in march to be investigated and prosecuted for genocide. i'm about this and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up back to the bargaining table the u.s. and mexico make a deal on trade and now they say canada should be part of it. iran goes to the international court of justice to try to get some relief from u.s. sanctions. and france's president says it's time for europe to stop depending on america for its security.

soldiers and me and have committed the greatest crimes under international law by attacking or injure muslims according to the united nations its investigators say at least ten thousand people have been killed during military attacks last august where most prominent representative to the united nations says his government does not recognize the fact finding mission and has no relationship with it whatsoever well homage on june reports. the u.n. says military commanders in me and more should be prosecuted for genocide against the room into 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 gunman 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 flight

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 he. say many international organizations have come here but we haven't seen any solution and all of us are hinge women have been wondering how much time we will have to live inside and i think. that's one of the reasons same many women went out to demonstrations yesterday. 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 there were 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. 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. at the critical long refugee camp in cox's bazar bangladesh arsalan iftikhar is a human rights lawyer for the burma task force it works to protect minorities in me in mali says the u.n. report is an important step. the first important thing to keep in mind is that the united nations they don't use the word genocide lately genocide under international law is a term of art and it actually triggers protections under the genocide convention another treaties which now the u.n. security council must take forward to decide whether or not they recommend the international criminal court the i.c.c.

it is a two hour issue genocide indictments against the military but is a good first step in the right direction going to go to the u.n. security again because this fact finding mission to find that i mean mine was committing genocide and now the security council is going to have to whether or not you are referred to the i.c.c. the problem here. is the fact that shot both china and russia which are bulls permanent members of the u.n. security council have been tested this reporting to me and my government and they will be told 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 madam our travel 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 me on mars government with this genocide. facebook has taken down pages linked to military officials and me and mom the company said it removed accounts for twenty individuals and groups including 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 giants been criticized in the past for allowing hate speech against cringe of muslims on its site. the japanese government says north korea is still a serious threat and it hasn't started to remove its nuclear weapons and research programs japan's been carrying out its annual review of its own military capability the report says japan it needs to boost its domestic missile defense capabilities until more concrete changes are made by north korea u.s. president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un had agreed to work towards the denuclearization of the korean peninsula during a summit in june. the united states and mexico have a new deal on trade it's going to replace the original agreements set out in the north american free trade agreement known as nafta on trump says he hopes canada will be part of it the canadian foreign affairs minister is due in the u.s.

on tuesday for trade talks white house correspondent kelly holcomb reports. frequently accusing the news media of not reporting on his accomplishments u.s. president donald trump rockliffe orders into the oval office. oh to listen in real time to a phone call with mexico's president. were you good morning thank you and 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 workers 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 canada relatively 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 helped at al-jazeera the white house. well that's cause a director of california trade justice coalition he's joining us live from boxing in california by skype thank you very much indeed for joining us from al-jazeera how important first of all do you think is canada's involvement in this deal i think right now canada's involvement is critically important as you saw from the press conference a lot of what president trump said was kind of targeted at canada a lot of it was kind of him trying to be tough on canada if you heard what the mexican president said he was talking a lot about how canada needs to be part of this deal what's been going on and negotiations have been happening but canada's kind of distance themselves from the negotiations so this is kind of an attempt a last minute attempt to get them to be part of the process how much leverage does

kind of a go into the these talks wave especially in terms of getting what a one side of whatever deal might come to pass so i think it depends on who you're talking to in canada when you try to determine what canada winds right now is the canadian government seems to want to for a while they've been kind of trying to preserve nafta and so they've been meeting with republicans and and also corporate lobbyists on the hill and you see. mostly told them to just kind of hang back and not be part of negotiations and things will just kind of roll over but at this point it's a little tougher because you know this is a president who. present a united states who likes to make these kinds of. threats so i think the fact that i think. canada's trade negotiator was originally slated to go to europe and now

she's coming back to the united states they're kind of participate in these negotiations i think that they're starting to feel a little bit more pressure so i think it's still kind of up in the air whether or not they have a lot of. power to kind of push on this in practical terms how much benefit is there to canada in being part of a deal that also involves the u.s. is it was canada actually pursuing as you were talking about a townie or some more independent negotiations i think it's important at least for us in terms of our coalition work coalition of labor and byron that all human rights organizations it's really important for us that canada's part of this our whole goal and civil society as a whole our goal has been that there is a trade deal that benefit people in canada the united states and mexico and if two nations are part of that they're doing these bilateral deals then it's a lot harder to get a kind of deal that benefits all three nations and the people in those nations

committee was mentioning in a report just a moment ago kind of his representatives are going to be going back to the talks fairly soon i think it might be happening today as a matter of fact what can they. both demand but what can they also bring to the table in order to create the environment where they can at least to start talking. i think something that canada talks about a lot but they haven't been doing enough been pushing for progressive. issues in renegotiation so a lot of what we see kind of on both sides right now is rhetoric rather than. policy and a lot of positioning rather than. meaningful proposals so one of the things that we'd like to see them do and that they'd get a lot of support on would be to push very strong labor and environmental standards with swift and certain force and that's something that we've been calling for our whole international coalitions been calling for since the beginning start of these negotiations so i think if canada works you push for those kinds of things they

would get more support and they'd have more weight behind their kinds of demands will which go of the california trade justice coalition we appreciate your time thank you very much indeed thank you very much the u.s. says it's putting pressure on saudi arabia to reduce the number of civilians being killed in the war in yemen the pentagon says a senior u.s. military general has delivered a message of concern to saudi leaders last week the u.s. provides intelligence in the just tickle support of the saudi led coalition which is fighting who the rebels backed by iran c.n.n. is reporting the pentagon is threatening to cut that supports if things don't change and this month the school bus was bombed and dozens of children were killed . the reuters news agency is reporting that saudi arabia's king solomon has stepped in to prevent the national oil company from issuing shows to the public his son crown prince mohammed bin someone wants to sell five percent of the company which

is known as i said i'm quote one of the requirements of a deal like that is that financial regulators will be able to examine iran close finances but that also report says the king doesn't want to do that officially the saudi government says the offer has been postponed not council. robert mogul nicky's a senior analyst at the siebel group it's a consultancy and advocacy organization he says saudi arabia is 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 policy makers 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 still ahead analogise here in uganda no position in people be wined is released on bail but his legal troubles are far from over. and czech republic battles against the heat wave this dried up one of its most important rivers wiped out crops.

and mexico have agreed a new trade deal that replaces parts of the north american free trade agreement known as nafta canada is expected to return to negotiations on tuesday. the u.s. it says is putting pressure inside the arabia to reduce the number of civilians being killed in the war in yemen the pentagon says a senior u.s. military general has delivered a message of concern to saudi leaders last week c.n.n. is reporting that the pentagon is threatening to cut that support if things don't change any of this month the school bus was bombed and dozens of children were killed. in the united states says it will vigorously defend itself against a legal challenge by iran at the un's highest court iran wants the international court of justice to suspend the u.s. sanctions imposed three weeks ago they were put in place after the u.s. pulled out of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal to iran accuses the u.s. of plotting economic strangulation largely has been following proceedings in 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 a 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 a 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 fails trace the momentum economy crozier. sans to set this view through the party means did not succeed. iraq had no other choice but to seize the international court of justice with the president's request on sixty two lar 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 nineteen seventy nine islamic revolution all the different sets american sanctions the floating fifty five treaty of amity 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 u.s. president donald trump and kenya's leader her kenyatta have been talking about trade and security at the white house kenyatta wants more access to u.s. markets for kenyan businesses topspin wanting to discuss security and china's significant investment in african countries it's the second time since he took office the transmetal leader from sub-saharan africa. uganda's high court has granted bail to all position leader bobi wine the thirty six year old musician turned politician was detained two weeks ago and charged with treason he's accused of inciting supporters to attack a convoy carrying president you're waiting was seventy 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
