as well as for example cell phone roaming charges within the european union it has already been stated by the brics it minister dominic robb that a deal had in fact been cut with several cell phone providers saying that they would not assume wants more roaming charges so that's perhaps a bit of good news for that side as well part of the back of all of these notices as well there's also the news from the credit agency moody's who have warned that in the event of a no deal breck's it which looks certainly more likely according to them that it would potentially plunge the u.k. into a recession and cause a crisis with the value of the sterling as well really which does not spell good news for the government if that were to happen so many pressures on the prime minister of the challenges facing from within her own party. well there has been really a war within the party

a battle for exactly what kind of breck's it this country is going to do now prime minister may has been adamant that persecution her blueprint for exit in the european union needs to be business friendly and that is what she says is written out as stated in the checkers agreement a so-called checkers agreement that was decided upon over the summer she said that would guarantee the free trade of goods but not services as well of course this is a negotiating point with which the european union will look to negotiate a point but of course there are others who are hard line breck's it is within the government within the party who are pushing for an even more extreme version of this saying that this in effect renders the u.k. as a sort of vassal state as one minister was accusing the deal of being and so with this there have even been ministers who have come out and publicly called for mrs may's ouster which has really put the party in a vulnerable position now whether mrs may will be able to face down these ahead of

the party conference which will happen later on in few weeks time is another matter altogether certainly there is a lot of. battles that are happening within there and mrs may will really have to hold on to that as hard as she can if she's able to push through her deal absolutely ok thanks very much for the update from downing street. so to has had on al-jazeera unfun suchi admits the range of crisis could have been better handled but defends the taming of voices journalists and men mock. and israel makes his fastball right now a palestinian van is slated for demolition. however still got some rather heavy right into the central and southern parts of japan

girl home as it went this morning. members of the united nations delegation. i paid their last respects before the formal funeral service happened and when you talk to people here for ghanians. pos on the fire it is a good character a good representation of their country and the international stage and when you talk to diplomats they all have something nice to say about coffee and despite the fact that while he was there at the united nations there were serious issues under his tenure during his career i remember when he was chairing the united nations coming on peacekeeping operations and what happened and wonder he apologized saying that the world should take responsibility it's tailings to the people of wonder at that moment and then you also have issues that you had to deal with following the september eleventh attacks subsequent wars or afghanistan and other places and then

legal israeli settlements. thursday is the twenty fifth anniversary of the oslo accords between israelis and palestinians and moments celebrated by the handshake between exact rabin and yasser arafat's on the white house lawn the deal set out a five year timetable for a two state solution but with each passing year palestinians have seen chances of that recede in force it has been speaking to three young palestinians who have grown up as part of the so-called oslo generation. it's a sun dappled september day in ramallah families enjoying a public holiday twenty five years since israeli and palestinian leaders signed the oslo accords parts of the occupied west bank have attained limited self-government but a two state solution the overriding goal looks more distant now than it did then i sat down with three members of the so-called oslo generation palestinians who were born around the time of the agreement rita is an activist with the boycott

divestment and sanctions movement aiming to marshal international economic pressure against israel for her it was flawed from the start it's going to twist it felt. that. people such as isis it's a it's just. people doesn't want to put. positive things. to say that it was their god i think it was structured want to hear us are wired a youth member of the ruling fatah faction the agreement was a worthwhile effort was that they didn't get to be also has lots of positive sides to puts us geographically and politically on the international map also the return of some fifty five thousand palestinians including arafat also gave us interim self rule one thousand nine hundred sixty seven borders with east jerusalem as capital unfortunately it was supposed to last five years it wasn't expected to drag for

twenty five years that's a lifetime. the accords which was supposed to be the starting point of a path toward statehood were immediately disrupted by a hamas bombing campaign and by the killing of the israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin by an assassin with far right views all the while the israeli right was gaining political ground promoting the inexorable expansion of illegal settlements on the palestinian side came the split between hamas in gaza and fatah in the occupied west bank and a growing disillusionment with the leadership whose democratic mandate had long. byard. was once an activist but now she's given up on politics nothing have changed however everything's becoming even worse and worse as a listing and a lot of other palestinians are just fed up of the case and they're getting themselves out of politics and they just wanna live their life a poll released of leader this anniversary suggests nearly three quarters of palestinians believe conditions were better before the two thirds feel the process

has damaged the national interest such numbers may be unsurprising right now with the us administration carrying out punitive measures against the palestinians and the prospects of a two state solution being at a particularly low but they also reflect the legacy of what many here believe to have been twenty five last years herefore said al-jazeera ramallah in the occupied west bank. says in hindsight her government could have handled the abraham to crisis better seven hundred thousand rang to muslims by the military crackdown in the states a year ago and investigate the mass killings and gang rapes but suchi speaking as an international meeting in vietnam defended security forces from charges of civilian atrocities by in haiti has more from their own sons to cheese appearance at the world economic forum on southeast asia in hanoi was the first international speaking engagement since

a united nations report was released last month that called for genocide charges to be laid against me and military leaders for attacks on rigging your communities in rakhine state that report was also very critical of aung san suu kyi and government for their failure to condemn the violence something she also refused to do here in hanoi there are of cause. within which we with hindsight might think that the situation could have been handled better but we believe that for the sake of long term stability and security we have to be fair to all sides the rule of law must apply to everybody we cannot choose and pick who should be protected by the rule of law and i have to keep repeating because people are very few are interested in that aspect of the situation that in the rakhine there are many many small groups ethnic groups and religious groups and there don't just

muslims and that the kind seems to be the section of much of the world for example we are very small ethnic groups which are fast disappearing but nobody seems to be interested in them and yet they are the ones who could disappear altogether because some are now down to four figures she was also asked about the case of the two reuters journalists last week which jailed for seven years true or so and while lone were arrested last year while investigating a massacre in rakhine state and there was growing international pressure on sun suchi and two governments to grant them pardons it's not a matter of lou they were not you because of a journey they would do with jail because the court has well sentence have been awesome that because the court has decided that they had broken the official secrets act so if we believe in the rule of law they have every right to appeal the judgment and to point out why the gesture in this room if they consider it wrong me

and my is expected to come under even more scrutiny at the united nations general assembly next week but on sun sujit will now not be attending. japan is proposing an end to a thirty three year ban on commercial whaling and they have come since then sasha whaling commission begins its biennial meeting which is taking place this week and brazil ran a hyundai explains the issues on the table. you'd be forgiven for thinking whaling is a thing of the past gone of the fleets slaughtering whales to near extinction commercial whaling is banned trading and wild products is to end yet every year japan norway and iceland collect least fifteen hundred that's an estimated forty five thousand whales at least since the ban was introduced in one thousand nine hundred eighty six and they want to take more norway has never been bound by the eighty six moratorium because it lodged an objection to pen in iceland to conduct scientific

whaling a controversial loophole allowing countries to hunt for research purposes together they have been lobbying the international whaling commission to reinstate sustainable commercial whaling the stocks that they say have recovered and the whaling countries though say the numbers and the practices just don't stack up they accuse japan of aggressive lobbying in particular of trying to entice developing nations to vote on this side in return for investment in their fishing industries and so every two years i.w.c. member nations on both sides of the divide prepare for a fight like whaling itself it's a bloody business. hurrican florence has been downgraded to a category two storm as it heads towards the u.s. east coast but weather forecasters are still warning of a disaster this is the latest satellite images images now nearly four hundred kilometers off shore and is expected to make landfall on the coast of north

carolina and bring a life threatening storm surge ten million people are now under hurrican warnings and gallica has more from wilmington in north carolina. there are two major concerns that forecasters have here one is the storm surge which is predicted to be anywhere from two meters just above my head to twice that height that would simply swallow all the buildings around us that is one major concern the second major concern for classes and authorities have is that once hurricane florence gets they are not expected to be friday morning it will linger that means it will be extremely dangerous extremely powerful it will bring that storm surge and hang around on this coastline for potentially two to three days before moving inland where it will still be a dangerous storm authorities have evacuated around one point six million people some have chosen to stay those that have chosen to stay know that in the coming days they will get no help the authorities say if you stay you're putting your life

at risk so what we're looking at here potentially is billions of dollars in damages that storm surge comes in wind damage possible potentially life threatening can petition for those that choose to stay but this is a huge storm the storm of a lifetime is what it's being called this region of the east coast the united states hasn't seen anything like this in decades and you can tell hearkens progress and see much more of the day's news on our web site there is al jazeera dot com. this is out there these are our top stories russia's president has inspected troops taking part in the largest war games since the fall of the soviet union vladimir putin says the armed forces will continue to be strengthened but that russia is a peace loving states that doesn't have aggressive plans. u.n. humanitarian coordinator for syria says nearly forty thousand people have fled to

live since government and russian strikes intensified last week. is calling for all parties involved in ad lib to halt hostilities and express the need for further humanitarian aid to be brought into the rebel held on klav. the most congested in syria more than three million people living about one point four million of displaced. the situation in italy is really very different to any other area given the compositional including all the fighters in extremist groups that are there and that's really brings the need for humanitarian diplomacy for diplomacy for conflict prevention key element of course is that at the moment. we hope for the best we're preparing for the worst as our coalition at war in yemen says it continues to control and main supply in the important port of her data. underplaying the reports saying they've repelled government forces here envoys yemen is set to visit sana'a

to revive ceasefire talks a state funeral is being held for the former u.n. secretary general kofi annan in his home country and died last month at the age of eighty a large crowd is gathered for a celebration of life. israeli forces have cleared a camp facts of us trying to stop the demolition of a bedouin village in the occupied west bank israel supreme court approved the destruction of last week despite international criticism of plans to make two hundred palestinians homeless the land is due to be used for expanding israel illegal israeli settlements and our conference has been downgraded to a category two storm as it heads towards the u.s. east coast but weather forecast says a still warning of a disaster ten million people are now horak and warnings. as i had lines more news

talk to alex is there. only. going to. war is born. to see. blood. down he's known as bobby wine ugandan pop star turned politician robert she made headlines after being detained on aug fourteenth he was charged with treason accused of throwing stones at president you are in the seventies presidential motorcade after release on bail ciccone said he was tortured by security forces he

was again detained before being allowed to seek medical treatment in the united states amanda gallacher in washington d.c. robert chuckle lonnie has just been released from hospital and is ready to talk about the accusations made against him by the ugandan government his detention and alleged torture robert chuckle lonnie bobby wine talks to al jazeera. let's start with the events of last month you were arrested twice firstly for throwing stones at the presidential motorcade and then secondly you were arrested and charged with treason your driver was shot and killed and what you think was an assassination attempt and then you say you were brutally tortured by the security forces what happened. a lot happened like you said i was brutally wristed beaten terribly. in the car and charged for the legal. position of

a charge that was later dropped by the government itself and then later charged with treason so in my opinion it was more of prosecution than prosecution but the beating you said it was with an iron bar sounds like it was almost a sexual assault in part from what you've you've said before who carried out and why. the section on the military record this special forces command. that section of the military is charged with guarding the president and it's actually led by the president's son. carried out all those atrocities and me beat me with and i admire with them and beat me with a gun bites and squeeze my taste of cause and you know do unspeakable things to me one commentator in uganda said that in some ways as unfortunate as this event was it was almost your baptism it's given you

a higher profile and they said now your supporters will be watching because of your profile what's your next move what do you do now well we've always been wanting a free uganda but that free uganda should not come at the cost of torture should not come at the cost of mind. you know illegal executions should be good free because our generation feels like the prize has released the price has only been paid for president was given to. in power we lost more than half a million people in what he said was a liberation now that anybody doesn't make sense to us because we are made with a brutal force every time we try to raise our voices every time we try to. seek for the change that we know we can situationally deserve no you're here to get medical

treatment one of your major concerns is to get your blood tested because you didn't trust what the doctors were injecting you with in uganda will have been a long term effect to your health do you think. i don't know still waiting for the results so i can know what is actually in my blood treatment as you can see many of they ones out here. have graduated from using crutches to just a walking skip walking stick physically i'm getting better i wish i would be free in their blood like i'm beginning to be free physically now when you were detained up believe around thirty two other people were detained you say some of those were tortured as well women among them could you have done more should you have done more for them could you have flown them here perhaps to get medical treatment. i wish i could do it. only still my friends i feel humbled that my brutalization

attracted the attention of friends across the world but at the same time i feel ineptitude to the men and women that i have and you are doing similar to each of us in particular the people that were arrested together with me we're so brutalized i remember a lady called cyril she had just had a baby you know biases arean section but she was beaten so much that even by the time i left you can they sure still passing blood in a private there's another guy called a teco doctor told us doctors told us he will never be able to walk there is another young lady called sold out my dad i lived in those spittle. my family and i myself believe that it was important to save my life because i am lucky to have the resources that can bring me to america for further treatment i feel like this is a right that everybody deserves and that is why i try as much as possible to use

this remaining time as i used to leave to raise my voice to speak for those people to make sure that what happened to me and wapping or what happened to my colleagues does not happen to any other you can now because nobody deserves this i believe what can be done is not just to be done by me. what i have is the voice to raise the plight of you and but i continue to call upon ugandans especially the young ugandans to speak up the more we unite the stronger we become the stronger we become today the regime seems to be shaking simply because ugandans a more united and it's the call that i continue to call upon ugandans to stand to be resilient and to continuously demand for the dignity that they deserve you're facing a president. who's been in power since ninety six has removed term limits removed

age limits and plans to run again in twenty twenty one how do you take on someone like that that seems to have such a grip on power i know that we are facing a president who came to power when i was only four years but i also know that the population of uganda is over eighty five percent and that the age of thirty five i know that it is many people like me who share the same dreams and aspirations for a better country a country where this city is in will be the true master and the leaders are going to be servant a country where when you work hard you achieve so we share the same pain we share the same operation and i believe that our numbers are not such a lie i believe that the dreams will hold together the aspirations we hold together a much stronger than the fear and terror that has been unleashed to us so much as president has the guns much as they have the ferocious forces we have the dreams

there to hold together and nothing can stop us from achieving what one achieve by running as an independent politician is there a concern that you are not joining one of the main parties you may split the vote or you may so we're called and make things harder by not having join one of the main parties by not adding your voice to someone that's already established well knows joining politics or what anybody would love to call politics i looked at not the divisions that we're having i looked at the plate that we shared together today uganda is split into two types of people the operators and the oppressed. so many people are oppressed regardless of what political party tribe or religion they belong to many people are even when they belong to the ruling party so our desire as the oppressed people is to redeem

ourselves and we know that we are continuously being joined by people from across the divide from all political parties from all tribes and from all religions so what we unite us more is not the identities of the political parties or sections that will belong to no but the desire of freedom and liberty that we have as a nation is what unites us but how do you turn those desires those wishes that longing for change into real political change in your country because the challenges are huge against a president who seems to want to stay in power for as long as he lives well the challenge is huge but we are very very optimistic generation we know that we have nothing to lose apart from a useless life we know that we are millions and millions of young professionals

doctors lawyers teachers who can't make sense out of life we know that we are together with groups our reserve thousands of arid as who are continuously being embarrassed by the way things are going you know we know that even the young people in the armed forces young people in the police and civil servants all desire change now i know you're planning to go back home in a few days' time these treason charges are still standing it seems to me that you're a marked man are you fearful about returning home well. i'll be honest yes. i'm fearful as a person but i don't have another country uganda is my country so i either live in a dignified country or i be remembered as a ugandan who died trying to make a better uganda you're talking about your own death is that something is

a possibility that your aware of as a father with four children as someone who is a loyal ugandan i love my family so much i love my country but i also know that just less than forty eight hours ago one of my best friend was shot dead simply because he dared to speak truth to power so many people day even without saying a thing so it's important for me to raise their voice for as long as they can do you feel like you're qualified to lead these people do you feel like you have what it takes to be a leader i believe that everybody can play a role i'm only trying to play a role as a person i grew up from the ghetto and i was elevated by the common people the ugandans they gave me this platform and that is why i'm talking to you today so i

believe that i can only play my role in its tiny position and by encouraging all the millions of you can answer for each of them to keep playing their role you say your playing a tiny role what if that role that's played the scenario means that you become the next president of uganda do you want that job i want to be ugandan that lives in a free uganda it does not matter who the president will be as of now nobody is free i want to be free. and every going and wants to be free regardless of who the president is how do you get from the scenario that uganda is in now to the point where you can translate all that energy and the need for change to actual change because it feels like an insurmountable task right now yeah it's an insurmountable task.
