who is going to seek. the treatment he's also said to have been badly beaten by the military two weeks ago following that incident involving the stone of the presidential motorcade in the north he has been in hospital since being in and out of consciousness so the police say that he cannot travel because they did not have that instruction so they also took him to this government hospital police saying that he has a case to end he in the first place as scaped from a custody police also saying that bobby wine is not under arrest they just want the government doctors to do their own tests and so that he can get this special clearance to be able to travel by a lot of people in uganda saying that the government is intentionally denying these two individuals the right to medical to the best medical attention they can get free bobby wine continues to trend in many parts of central and east africa along

with the hash tag three uganda kenya though is driving most of the conversation online accounting for forty six percent of global tweets on the topic uganda follows with thirty nine percent in july though the government imposed a social media tax to help prevent what it calls gossip it's because of movies like this that many in uganda say that they're afraid to speak out in fear of the government now comedians in uganda have also condemned the torture of bobby why they're calling on their peers to go on social media and to protest many of them have shared their images with the quote i am a comedian but torturing bobby wine isn't funny we got in touch with some of them this is what they had to say. comedians we started an initiative with a cop show and i am a comedian but twittering bobi wine isn't funny was that it is initiative so that we could create as much awareness of supposed book regarding the eventuality but happening in our country there is no print almost peach it is only on the books but

in green life there is no freedom of speech when you to doubt to raise our issues to raise twenty first century problems that need twenty first century solutions but unfortunately he was seen as and he was treated in a way that no human deserves to be treated and i think as comedians it's very very important for us to come on because we're a public speakers and so many people listen to us it is very very hard to make people in a somber mood and right now that is the current state of what is happening in our country people are not happy and i hope this initiative. our leaders who have taken everything in if i knew with the beating of people there violating human rights and beating of journalists pretending to be think in a funny way so we can be nice. to join in the just somebody should stop even if you communion but it should still be millions of. jobs so if we can't get up

for what is right and just we can inspire those who have chosen to stay sane it's not because it is right but because maybe they are afraid. it might be but it is just natural that if you want to do what is right and just and justice has to be delivered in the fairest ways thank you all for sharing those with us if you're in uganda and you want to share your story or what you think of bobby wines campaign you can get in touch with me directly at leo harding. thank you. new york times is reporting that the united arab emirates has been using israeli technology to spy on leading thinkers in saudi arabia qatar. and lebanon they obtained leaked e-mails linked to lawsuits against an israeli spy where a group called and s. own the show had the u.a.e. was trying to listen into calls by the assad hariri the lebanese prime minister and also trying to tap the phone of qatar has amir as early as twenty fourteen and

among other high profile individuals from the gulf there is a leading saudi prince with a been a bella as well so the french thing we're going to talk to some happy about it is editor in chief of international interest a current affairs news magazine he's in london for us thanks for your time sami. no surprise i guess that something like this was going on but the cooperation with israel is interesting i think yes i think it's been one of those was the worst kept secret in the middle east that there are these underhand dealings with israel but the viewers are the emirates i think what is quite profound is that idea that you were you were spying on some of the saudi princes there is often this belief that the saudi and the u.a.e. are partners in crime or partners it was a part of whatever probably not the best expression to use but the idea that they are very much bound together as close as possible whereas in reality there is this undercurrent of a power struggle struggle going on the u.e.c.

itself is trying to expand itself as a key major force in the region and using the type of underhanded techniques if it was a library i think it's very interesting that the report brings that there was spying on the likes of prince mit have been abdullah who is a rival of mohammed bin said a man who is a very good friend of with only one hundred days they had no idea that they're spying on that heady in lebanon as well so i think with regard to you ease kind of tactics are part of why there are issues that they have in order to adopt rather a more sinister style since the version of cutler's project in which the spread of influence across the region. we fair to say now then we'll based on what you've said there as well that the u.a.e. is perhaps a lot more influential in the gulf you know we often talk about when it's concerned with yemen or when it's concerned with the cut a blockade we say the saudi led coalition maybe it's increasingly becoming more the u.a.e. that coalition. i've actually written argued that if it has always been that you

a coalition i actually believe that saudi arabia at times has suggested that it wants to reconcile with certain elements of the muslim brotherhood and the companies that you either keep insisting that the u.a.e. even the most that the cup or the muslim brotherhood other number one enemy in yemen we've seen are you a nice of course movements that are anti saudi let's remember that the movement of some of the southern separatists and emboldening them and empowering them is not a sudden interest saudi may have personal interest in yemen how it is to preserve all of yemen and prevent it from becoming a haven for the iranian the you we have to see an opportunity where by even who has kept the north they could have an influence you eating so we see the u.a.e. involved in libya which is very far away with you know both in the eritrea and ethiopia seeking to stab the muslim brotherhood a sudanese government in the back as well in order to render that richard was more

important than what so that is which is a key outpost for the sudanese so i do argue that ludovic is you a lead let's also remember that saudi prince mohammed bin the man has benefited much from passable to silage oh i haven't been knighted is reported or believed that his rise was very much orchestrates is or assisted by hamad bin laden i would not be you even the lobbying efforts in washington they did the lobbying efforts in europe and they provided him with a plan by which he could out his cousin was been there who was crown prince at that particular time so i agree with your statement i do believe that if you he led coalition in the end then much that will upset many of my saudi brant is insinuating that initiative against the kind of blockade much of that would also upset my saudi friends but you are probably right that somehow they are joining us from london to talk to that story thank you very much. we're going to take a look at some other stories making news around the world this friday and a pro russian rebel leader alexanders like

a chunk of has been killed in an explosion in eastern ukraine this is coming from the russian news agency interfax it happened in the province of donetsk which witnessed heavy fighting since april twenty fourth teen separatists a push for independence from the russian speaking province after russia annexed ukraine's southern crimea peninsula almost ten thousand people have been killed in the fighting between ukrainian government and pro russian forces so that news just coming and during this hour south sudan's opposition leader machar has signed a peace accord to end the five years of civil war he agreed to the terms after receiving assurances that a power sharing deal would be ahmed the deal with president salva kiir followed negotiations in sudan's capital khartoum tens of thousands of people have been killed and millions displaced since the violence broke out back in twenty thirteen australians catholic church has rejected proposed laws forcing priests to report sexual abuse of children which have been revealed during confession the church has

or right we're going off the grid now with lia what's happening in sweden well in sweden it's the world's first only women only music festival and it's being held in protest against a wave of sexual assaults at festivals. the problem with festivals is that it's becoming more common for women to be sexually assaulted if they attend a study in the u.k. found that one in five of all festival goers and thirty percent of female festival attendees have experienced some form of unwanted sexual behavior other reports say most women do not report their sexual abuse now the same festival was launched as a response to the countless abuse of women who had taken place at music festivals the festival is free from men both among visitors and artists and it is a statement against all of the sexual assault in our society we simply want that women non by neris and transgender to be able to visit an awesome festival and feel

safe at the same time now the concert last three days and you can follow along with that you can search on twitter first statement festival if you want to follow along with what's going on in sweden we want to do we do actually want to hear from you if you are thinking what you think of removing men from festivals solves the problem of sexual abuse or should this merely just highlight the issue that's ongoing let us know our hash tag is always a genius great thanks for the question from patrick watching on facebook live who's lost can you please explain how the range of crisis began. not on this show don't have a time for that but our summer our producer has pointed me to this in fact i've got it on my i pad here. crisis explained in maps it's one of our interactive maps from al-jazeera dot com and it actually just keeps everything in perspective for you explaining where it's happened where the people are where they come from around the

world where they've gone to the other major ethnic groups if you go through that it'll give you a good little explainer and background as to where this ranger crisis began. now another. facebook it's about a journalist arrested for taking pictures in a public sidewalk. a woman by police and. competitive match as a footballer. well

you can use a boat play football are kind of sort of. he came he played he left that's

pretty much sums up the same bolts competitive football debut the eight time a limbic champion is on trial at the central coast mariners came on as a substitute in the seventy second minutes of their pre-season game with them already six will out well his first title didn't go to plan by he did come close to scoring and added time. to his trying to secure a pro contract at the elite side said he enjoyed the experience. right now i'm just trying to get used to the guys i don't want to hold moment to actually get a chance to play a guy that would be able to sell football so that's what i'm happy about that i think along the lines that i start winning championships the team cannot believe in them then is the moment you get higher and higher and higher but i know i'm not being. i'll give you twelve months if it's required and i've already had that he's

already said give me four months to get fit so. we'll we'll see i'll tell you all the lists i've seen in training has been unbelievable. you know i've got some guys there who are not super confident they need to be and being around him will improve them. well nearly ten thousand people turned up to watch the game including our correspondent andrew thomas. a mine a pre-season friendly against a team of amateurs this was not the sort of match that would normally attract much attention or much of a crowd but this was different for one reason only. yes. so this is from. the same bolt is a sports make a star just not in this sport as an athlete he wanted gold medals and broken limb pick records in beijing london and rio as

a footballer his debut was here at the central coast stadium in gosford an australian city a fewer than two hundred thousand about eighty kilometers north of sydney i think he actually has a lot to lose that i really want that. the average guy put itself in. bolt has done previous trial periods with dortmund in germany and at clubs in norway and south africa he's also played in charity games with television chefs but this was his first match for a professional club even though he wasn't playing in a professional capacity the match was against a collection of alex of players brought together to give the central coast mariners a stretch of their legs the mariners were as expected the much better team bolt was as expected perhaps their weakest player but also their biggest star. coming all the subsidies same ball played just the last twenty three minutes of the day and although his team did win comfortably he didn't fight much part in the victory but

this crowd's well they say it's all about votes people have big no i think he's prevented me from reading this. this is. more a prize very trades the credit for in its tracks is a better place to be for that. yeah the central coast mariners have said bonet can stay with them indefinitely but does not mean the two necessarily going to clinch right cool right you want from you and it's almost all just a story. a lot of people to tell me after that debut here is what a few of them a few thoughts saw forty five seconds of the same bold warming up at half time he looks i mean quart made and out of his depth can honestly say there on your nine kids at my local soccer club with a better first touch and technique on a harsh broad tweeted haven't got

a huge amount of time for the elite but resorting to a gimmick like you same bowl just shows how inferior the competition is in the global scheme of the game and here's one from the same bowl plays professional football for a team that follows me on twitter please understand my confusion i was really a tennis player not curious was up to his old tricks at the u.s. open curious was a set down and trailing in the second looking kind of disinterested he was booed when he seemed to hit the ball into the net on purpose or midway through the set up higher mahama the honey came down from his chair and looked to be given curious pap talk but he insisted he wasn't well curios then turned things around to win the match in four. lot of people questioning if the umpire overstepped the mark but curious defended. by no world doing out there wasn't good

you know i wasn't listening to him but i knew you know it wasn't a good look. but then when we had all but you know there are four to look if it was three zero and i came back and we won six games it's fair enough but it didn't help me at all i don't think you know he has to go down and take the position of a coach they can see on the w.t. tour. yeah i don't think i don't know yet if it would have changed something i just know that he doesn't have to do that is not the umpire's world to go down from the chair but i get what he was trying to do but. he behaves the way he behaves and then you as an umpire take decisions on the chair if you like it or don't you like it but you don't go and speak like that or curios also having to defend himself on social media to other tennis players he said i shouldn't have tweeted so quickly after the match everyone is entitled to an opinion but i can

sure you it wasn't coaching abby murray left a somewhat sarcastic comment on instagram when you're when are you going to announce with me as your new coach. ok as the asian games winds down we've been introducing you to some incredible athletes with some pretty unique stories this is swap the barman from india her father's a rickshaw driver and she was born with six toes on each foot even though the twenty one year old was competing in very uncomfortable footwear she managed to win india's first ever asian games gold in the competition. but you don't. these were the scenes back environments village and india it's the moment when she won that historic gold medal that's her mother getting particularly emotional list video going viral across india where fans have been sharing those very same
