i met somebody. so they gave him with a. box on supreme court found no i sharif guilty of lying on financial documents and so he was forced to resign but how did the supreme court know the documents were fake believe it or not it's because of the microsoft clippers after the panama papers leak the sharif family was accused of not disclosing their wealth and income for multiple properties overseas you know or to prove their innocence the family handed investigators these documents allegedly from two thousand and six the only problem the documents used the calligraphy font which wasn't released with microsoft word until two thousand and seven and that would draw one to the conclusion that the documents were not real the supreme court agreed and down went no i sharif. yet but i. made a bet. is always a rule no prime minister has ever completed

a term in the history of the country so how long will the next prime minister last . come out haidar reports from islamabad. to the prison. time former prime minister of pakistan mr nawaz sharif. being heard by the national accountability. they were being held at a prison and. it expected. approximately one degree that day would. have to face the ongoing probe by the national accountability called by no means be able to take part in political activities directly and also the political ban on mr. knew until the final

judgment in the case is pending against him. therefore. for mr and i watch in the long run he still has to face the full wrath of the law and the accountability. well we also have our online journalist as had hashem in islamabad as well and he's updating this story around the clock you can find those updates by heading to al-jazeera dot com. the world is being warned that yemen's war risks killing a generation with more than five million children facing famine the new numbers have come from the international charity save the children which says disruption to supplies of the red sea port of call data could cause starvation on an unprecedented scale fightings resumed there between houthi rebels and the saudi military coalition the un says eight and a half million yemenis face already face starvation without aids and that number is

rising as the plunging currency puts food further out of reach at least ten thousand people have been killed since the saudi embassy alliance intervenes to support yemen's government back in twenty fifteen and are simmons following the story joining us from a neighboring djibouti andrew and that is a grim warning from save the children. well these figures a shocking yet they're not surprising sadly the situation in hadji province which is does suffer from fighting but not intense fighting is absolutely critical we're only recently reporting on the position there where people in some going to genes are eating tree leaves to get by there mashing the leaves that crunching them down cutting them into a paste cooking them and feeding their children with them and that of course leads to medical problems for the children as far as faith is

a concerned well it is harrowing the sort of images we're seeing right across yemen and the figures well they speak for themselves fifty five out of a thousand have died before their fifth birthday and of course famine isn't the only major factor shaking yemen right now it's also education because we're now finding with a new school year starting that's so many schools remain closed in fact seventy five percent of the schools in yemen are close either because internally displaced people or keep trying them all they've been damaged by all the fighting all they are armed groups occupying these buildings now this is a critical position for the schooling and there have been warnings from the united nations that there is a lost generation those that are surviving all the hardship and famine that is and we've been looking at two teenagers in santa one in school one out of school to see

how their lives are going. life has taken a bad turn for mohammed al man's story he's a bright teenager and before yemen's war he dreamed of one day being a doctor but his father died at fifteen years old mohammed has swapped his education for a motorbike he uses it as a taxi trying to support his mother and family. this is where he should be been most solemn school alongside his close friend mohamad bilel. whatever the ceremony nothing can disguise the new school year is attended by only a fraction of the number of last year. elsewhere many schools lying ruin or taken over by armed groups. half a million yemeni children are estimated to have dropped out of school mohammed

friend hopes that studying will bring a better life. mohammed and i are close friends he left his family has eased all amanda left to come to school in fear hospitals and schools are not spare in this war but we cannot afford to drop out and lose years and years of our lives. as one teenager puts his efforts into learning the other works even longer eyeless finding passengers who can afford a bike taxi fare. i hope the war comes to an end and i'll be able to go back to school i hope i can live the life i once had if not better. back in school the man who used to teach him isn't so optimistic he's also struggling. i look at it i mean their teachers haven't been paid for months and this is our only form of income so

many have lost their jobs there's unemployment and poverty in nearly every household in yemen. they sing the national anthem that's shed by old yemen is which have aside their own in a country where education like the wartime economy is dying. illiteracy is one of the issues mentioned there and of course the figures there we're finding are not all that quite shocking really that the number of over fifteen year old girls who are illiterate is nearly half the population of children in yemen in yemen so there is a really difficult situation for anyone to work out how you try and revive the situation how the fear of going to school can be conquered and then beyond that how children can support families who may be dependent upon them because of the war the

economy has a massive effect it's really double edged sword you have the fighting which takes out so many schools then you have a shattered economy with a dollar now worth. with the local currency should i say we're now so little against the dollar the commodity price rises something like three hundred percent we've seen a strike by teachers in one province and we have a position whereby teachers you heard in that report all right near the edge in terms of getting by so not just a problem of the actual fiber of the schools the getting the schools open again it's getting teaches into them and paying them because so many teachers are underpaid and calling their destitute so this is are crippling problem in what is already the poorest nation in the middle east. pretty dire situation in yemen andrew symonds thank you for that update from djibouti. now anything that was

breathing was killed those words have come from a report by amnesty international which contains allegations of brutality and atrocities being committed against civilians in south sudan this year it's based on interviews with hundreds of people displaced by violence and opposition held areas of southern unity states the report says government soldiers and allied fighters raped women attacked villages and hanged and burnt people alive amnesty blames the government's failure to prosecute or remove suspected war criminals to mexico that's where outrage is building on the streets and online after the discovery of a truck filled with corpses it happens in how this goes states the top forensic chief has been fired so highrises here what else do we know about that story so sadly during the discovery of mass graves and bodies is all too common in mexico a tragic result of course of gang violence a of but this situation is storing one hundred fifty seven unidentified bodies in

a refrigerated truck is something very new now the local government says it had no choice because all its more trees are full and the trainer drove around for ten hours it was spotted in at least two areas of the city before parking in hits and cation the foul smell though quickly revealed everything. well we man it's really bad because it affects our children it smells really bad it's only going to get worse in the flies land on our food. or kill them that this is who knows where they came from they left them here really close to our homes if they let them far away you would notice but they're right here. the truck has since been driven away because the anger still remains because mexican or prevents a crummy bodies linked to violent crime until investigations have concluded and the case is closed and that can take some time hence the need for lots of more tree space and since the shortage created the situation different levels of government

up blaming each other. now seem more or less what we feel deeply outraged and upset by this situation that reflects a serious avoidance omission and negligence of different authorities in the protocol for dead people i want to make it very clear we will investigate and sanction all strength of those who might have allowed these actions to be carried out this way. and sanction they have because the top forensic chief of state has been fired spot louise octavio could sarah denies he was responsible for the sorts stroll to draw other of the unclaimed bodies in accuses the state government of making him the fall guy he was quoted by local media saying the decision to rent the trailer had been made by the office of the state attorney general two years ago and there was a second trader containing a further one hundred fifty bodies now a new mortgage is being constructed quickly and the trailers with its grisly contents have been returned to another morgue while it's still not clear who really

authorized the truck in the first place mexicans are suffering daily because of gang and drug violence now just under a quarter million people have been killed or disappeared since december two thousand and six and mexico's most violent news actually last year because more than twenty five thousand murders took place now. has had over a thousand and homicides up by forty three percent that's just since this time last year and people on social media have even called the body fill trail of the mobile pit also known as for soft and spanish or they've also been naming it rolling more because pits regularly do turn up with human rate remains across mexico but it's grim this has been compared to plots out of clinton film during. sarah thank you well the british prime minister to reason may will be working the room among e.u. leaders in austria hoping to get them on board with her plan so they're heading to

salzburg for dinner ahead of a two day summit where the e.u. and u.k. still have big disagreements to sort out before britain is due to leave the bloc in six months prime minister may has proposed that her country align itself with the e.u. rulebook post-divorce in return for a seamless trade but the e.u. has reservations about that and how to avoid a so-called hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the irish republic which is an e.u. member live to lawrence the news joining us from salzburg this may have a chance then of selling radio. no no it doesn't i mean it's supposed to be quite an important moment actually this just comes to dinner tonight she has ten minutes of a ten minutes to sell this deal and then probably the not even supposed to say anything when she's finished carry on eating and then some or she hangs around the rest of the e.u. twenty seven countries discuss among themselves and she wants them to finish than donald tusk who is the european council president tells in another ten minute

meeting what they think of it but the whole thing is designed really to be an exercise in humiliation because they use already said the plan is no good michel barnier who's the head of the negotiating team for the europeans it is no good donald tusk himself said of the short briefing this afternoon they need to be reworked so she's selling something is dead already and then she'll have to go home to conservative policy that split down the middle in the public in the u.k. that according to the polling these eighty percent to twenty percent against her plan as well so how they could have got themselves a situation like this is almost beyond description the only thing she's machine managed to do is to get both groups of people who want to leave the european union want to remain inside the european union a hazing a moralist so i think our plans are more or less the same extent doesn't sound like a maze position to secure even a home that lawrence. no it really doesn't

and the heart breaks it as the people who hate the european union want to leave it completely basically planning to ambush over the conservative party conference in october there's a growing call for a second referendum a so-called people's vote once it becomes clear if there's any deal or if there's not a deal and should there be a second referendum that's gaining ground as well and there's a lot of chance of a general election with potentially a new a new government in the u.k. just as brics it's about to happen so the whole thing is absolute mess you come you can't even begin simple words too and ironically even though they don't like her plan the only people who are trying to support reason may rise in a list of the european union because they're worried that if it is an election and she falls in and the hard brecht's at lot say go over then they wouldn't have any deal at all so they're trying to be nice and say to her come on just give us a bit more and hang on even though they know that she can't possibly set it home so

it's such a mess of contradictions all right lawrence and thank you. we have a feature now on our facebook live feed if you're watching us there about the bosnian man who's making free meals for refugees and migrants and coming up in just a moment on the show the house tag need to reach as mcdonald's as workers in several u.s. cities go on strike to protest against harassment. once again the relentless heat continues across a good parts of iraq into kuwait either side of that temperatures not faring too badly across much of the middle east charles of wanted to showers just around the caspian sea but essentially it does look lousy fine and dry thirty celsius there in beirut there's a hates the baghdad forty two degrees forty four for kuwait city could be even

a touch warm as we go on into friday little further a thirty one celsius pakistan looking good over the next day as i didn't get to across the arabian peninsula high savings of around forty one celsius on thursday just a gentle breeze coming through not too bad thirty nine degrees as we go on through friday just a hint of that he would as he come further south little bit of cloud there just hugging southern parts of amman so the areas of yemen to into the gulf of aden there a bit of cloud so just hugging the far south of south africa but here it's looking set fair well so dry weather coming through fourteen celsius in cape town little on the chilly side sixteen therefore in the cloud does recede a little further eastwards and we'll see more in the way of sunshine may well sunshine in showers as lobby showers continue from the ethiopian highlands into the gulf of guinea and it could pop west africa.

when people need to be heard. it's not. and the story needs to be told. by all. the bad guys. al-jazeera has teams on the ground documentaries and. on and on the.

al-jazeera dot com these are the most read articles that right now in the top spot three people have been injured after a car rammed into people outside off

a. mosque police are saying they are investigating this as a possible hate crime you can read more about that story if you go to our website. a fake news and information online journalists i'm newsrooms right across the world are experimenting with new business models to finance their future so one new model that caught our eye designed to fund quality journalism using the same technology the. underpins cryptocurrency is like because i'm talking about block chain the best way to describe it is a digital ledger which records transactions across the internet and stores this information in multiple locations so this means the records are public verifiable and difficult to hack therefore blocked chain may be used for more than just currency and transactions it could for example help prevent election fraud and that's because the election data can be recorded on

a publicly verifiable ledger so one new york based startup called civil has come up with its own digital currency to fund journalism it's called a civil token and these tokens can be used to fund local or international news or topic focus stories well here's how they're explaining it on their website take a look. the journalism industry today is a dangerous guy there's only really him for ways to pay for the news. journalism is sometimes referred to as the first draft of history this is a sacred institution that is facing an extension like never before has been closing in downsizing for you and that effect all over the world is changing technology introduces new challenges you opportunities we need a radically new business model or we're going to see journalism be eradicated so we're using block you could do economics to pursue that. passion of journalism because of what it means to

a free and open than just society but as an entrepreneur or obsessed with the business model problem i think it's one of the most wicked business model problems that any industry is facing. let's speak to glen goodman in london he's a lecturer at the london school of economics for research as block saying thanks very much for speaking to us can you just explain what a civil token is. ok well first of all if you start with blocked chain itself think of it like wiki pedia like a p.d.f. is basically just a bunch of information on a database block chain on which civil is based is a bunch of information on a database but there are a couple of key differences the block chain first of all is decentralized so you have instead of all the information being in one place like you do with wiki pedia with one organization in charge instead nobody is in charge with a block chain decentralisation you have thousands of computers all over the world

and they all have copies of the same database upon them another key difference with block chains is that information is immutable it cannot be changed so once you put some information on for that database is there forever you can't change it so what civil are trying to do and it's absolutely fascinating obviously nothing like this has ever been tried in the history of the world before they're trying to make a decentralized database for journalism where articles that are vetted by the people who use civil will end up on the civil platform and they will be there for ever for somebody that interested in doing this or buying this is there a limit on how many tokens one person can buy. no there well there there are only a limited number of tokens full stop but there will be plenty to go around they will make sure of that because of course they can print as many tokens as they see

fit and at the moment they're selling them to people they just started selling them so far it seems to be a little bit slow going the block chain market and cryptocurrency market isn't as active as it was when everybody was all excited about it last december january say but they are getting money and they're raising money for their project through selling these tokens and the idea is that once people have the tokens then they will be able to use them to make little micro purchases of articles that they want to read that have been prevented as from good stablished organizations that are on this platform they'll pay their little bit some money for them and also they'll be able to sort of give tips a little bit of extra money if they think that a platform is really good really solid really accurate so that provides an incentive for the newspapers and websites and so on that put their content on civil gives them an incentive to be accurate and as non-biased as possible ok just explain this to us then and correct me if i'm wrong here now several are saying

that this model is going to free journalists from being held hostage by advertisers and by ratings as well but won't they instead just be held hostage to the group of investors who are funding them through this company. well the idea with any kind of project like this with most creates a current projects is that you try and make the ownership as wide as possible you don't want just a few people having all the tokens buying all that opens you open it up as they have done to anybody who wants to buy them and then the hope is that in the long term more and more people will come along buys how you can from the big boys or big girls who already own quite a lot of them and you'll get a wide wide ownership and then you'll affectively get large numbers of people voting effectively with their tokens on what they want to see on the platform what they think looks good on the platform and crucially if they think somebody is supplying fake news then people will vote against it with their tokens they can even go to something simpler set up called the civil council who will be able to

adjudicate on whether there is fake news emanating from a certain source or not and they can banish them from the platform and interestingly again the tokens will come into play there because people will vote with their tokens and if it turns out that they voted with the majority to say push somebody off the platform the mill get some tokens rewarded to them for being with the majority whereas the middle minority will get nothing there's a bloc saying in your opinion are really the answer to solving this the industry's funding crisis and what are the challenges that you see going forward. well i mean let's be honest is there are massive challenges i know a lot about blocked in but the fact is in the real world not much has been done with blogs change yet it's still a kind of sandbox people are playing around with ideas like this one we don't know if this business model will work in five years time in ten years time will it still exist of course there are massive challenges not least as you say you're going to

get people who are on of it sort of who depend on the people who are using the platform now only stay or will they start deciding that they like fake news does i like very biased news say and they sell votes example the biased news sources i mean one thing that does give me optimism that it could work is wiki pedia itself ok we could be it is no longer blocks chain yes it does have a central authority but ultimately most of the decisions i made by the way to p.d. and the people themselves who look at the articles and the articles unarguable themselves sometimes quite viciously to decide what is the truth of what should go on the pages if we get that kind of culture with civil a culture of wanting to see truth of wanting to stamp out fake news then it could be a very powerful platform indeed all right very interesting talk so thank you going goodman for giving us your perspective from london. if you still want to find out more about block chain and what it is you can head online search for

a block chain on al-jazeera dot com and you'll find this article how block chain can revolutionize the world well the woman accusing donald trump supreme court nominee of sexual assault says that she wants an f.b.i. investigation before she testifies at his senate committee hearing next week so christine blasi forward accuses brett kavanaugh of attacking her when they were teenagers more than thirty years ago ford says he's received death threats and going public with that accusation kavanagh denies the incident ever happened and still has the support of president trump. if she shows up and make a credible showing that of the various races you have to make a decision but i could only say this you said you never stand the man very hard cities you would imagine that it. can be helka joining us live from washington d.c.

so for the president's kimberly he obviously seems to be defending kavanaugh because he wants to see this through absolutely he is certainly defending it saying that this should not be pushed through an f.b.i. investigation but instead saying that this should be handled by the senators given the fact that in his view cavanagh has an unblemished record but many are disputing that including christine blazin ford who has made these allegations that well they were both teenagers while he was drunk that he sexually assaulted her back in the one nine hundred eighty s. it's a thirty six year old allegation that many believe the f.b.i. should investigate so what we have here essentially are the two sides arguing over that very fact in just the last hour or so the chair of the senate judiciary committee chuck grassley the republican chair saying that he is still pushing for a public hearing for christine blazin ford to tell her side of the story and also

for brett kavanaugh the supreme court nominee but that is very much in doubt whether or not she will appear given the fact that her lawyer says that she wants this f.b.i. investigation to happen first so certainly what we've got are the two sides pressing for this to be you know investigated but in different manners so in the lot is moving quickly it is unclear whether or not this hearing will still take place it is set for monday but at this point it seems very much in doubt so what then are the possible scenarios kimberly and what should we be looking out for moving ahead. well you know what's happening at the moment is that judge cavanagh is essentially despite the fact that he had many hearings hours of hearings over multiple days is under fresh scrutiny particularly some of his comments that he made back in two thousand and fifteen and twenty fourteen in public speeches where he sort of spoke casually about heavy drinking in the past

even talking about his high school that he attended called georgetown prep where he said what happens in georgetown prep stays at georgetown prep it's a cliche he has it's been discovered he's used quite often and given the fact that this allegation includes the fact that the accuser says that brett kavanaugh was drunk at the time that is coming under a lot of scrutiny so increasingly on both sides there is pressure for this story to get out because what happens in this process is is has to be voted out of committee the republicans in charge of that committee are still pressing for that to occur next week but the question becomes if the accuser is not heard when this goes to the full senate for a vote a very much is in doubt whether or not brett kavanaugh would be confirmed to become a supreme court justice can really help to thank you well this is all playing out at the height of the hostile to a movement that's also encourage thousands of mcdonald's workers to go on strike in

several u.s. states and sara has been watching that story. well ban is with me to mcdonalds written on them you can just see that there was a scene in ten different cities in the us on tuesday now some of the employees have been on strike to protest sexual harassment at its fast food restaurants i know. there were demonstrations just like this one with people chanting but silent ones were also held to where they tight their mouths shut to symbolize mcdonald's silence on the issue now the workers have made their demands clear they want the franchise to provide its man's a tree and t. harassment training for all its managers and to create a committee that will seriously address sexual harassment complaints by its own employees we're still in the news that sexual harassment is happening to others but they weren't major corporations just like c.b.s. and i'll tell you what actually said by losses against their c.e.o.'s and media

moguls now more than ever it is imperative that best for the workers take action and use their voices in the same way to hold mcdonald's the class which is accountable the public does not know that we go through behind the counters the cash registers even the bathrooms in the janitors closet but today the world will find out more. years down the democratic senator elizabeth warren weighed in on that conversation and she wrote this low wage workers are especially vulnerable to workplace discrimination and sexual harassment she says it's simply wrong and it has to stop now in twenty sixteen a study in the u.s. that forty percent of female fast food workers have experience on want to sexual behaviors on the job and almost half of them that's forty two percent felt they needed to accept it because they couldn't afford to lose their jobs and another study by the center for american progress said that all of the industries people working in hotels and food services for the most sexual harassment charges. working

for a company where i have extra and i was but. if it's really you know it makes me feel sometimes and say that i'm still working for the same company and sometimes i worry more than anything but i have to keep the leap of faith and i have a living to work for close these protests people in social media they call for others to join that campaign and they've done that by calling people to boycott might almost none of those is com miller who has a simple suggestion just somewhere else and this brings me to ask you if you'd see the consumers have responsibility to hold like dolls or any fast food chains accountable on on tests in the handling. well in just supreme court says people who believe they've been incorrectly left off a state citizenship register will be able to appeal so it's ruled that people in

northeastern asylum state may prove their citizenship with any one of ten documents listed by the courts in late july the state government was accused of discrimination that's when it failed to include four million names on a list of citizens the government said they'd have to prove their citizenship or lose their rights a sum has long struggled with ethnic and linguistic division over undocumented immigration from bangladesh the state government says the exercise is to identify illegal residents andrew thomas reports from a line gaggle on an awsome. now india's supreme court has polarized how people can go about appealing not being on the list the idea is that people across the state were going to regional offices to prove their citizenship but that is easier said than done in some remote villages like this one nine out of ten people are not on the list and next simply don't have the financial means to go about

proving less of this and yet in fact it's even bigger than that they might not have the paperwork that proves that not all these people have birth certificates and lawyers if they need them are expensive so people here are concerned that even with the formal appeals process now in place at the end of this process they may remain off the list and that may render them stateless and sorry you've been looking at another story out of india this time it involves a divorce practice known as triple talaq yes it is practiced that and when under which a muslim man can divorce his wife by simply saying the words are not that's three times only after couple of exhausted all other options of reconsideration that india's executive cabinet chaired by prime minister narendra modi has just criminalized that the core component of this ordinance is. that. and offerings will be got miserable only and only then the end fired is fired by the wife or her close relations by blood on my body which. it was done

through an executive order which means it still needs to be approved by parliament once it's back in session botts an identical draft bill had failed in the upper house earlier this year reservations by opposition parties and rights groups the kids fight. we want a few changes in the triple to lock that we like to lock in our sun which is a revokable version of to lock should be included in it we also want to make instant divorce a bailable offense which is non-bailable at the moment and we also think the punishment should be cut down from three years in jail to just one. those changes were not made in the ordinance now poss despite protests like this muslim women across the country stage marches and rallies saying that even if they oppose triple talaq it's an issue that should be handled by their community and there's a muslim posts in the law board and fights in india that actually deals with religious family. and john this rafah joe says we are poor triple

psylocke it has no place in islam against modi's haste for an ordinance with flawed provisions but other people also have added that force rivendell has suggested the move may be about winning votes of course india has an upcoming national election next year we've seen lots of people talking about this triple so that was trending worldwide throughout the day we'd like to hear your thoughts you can tweet us and the hashtag for that is aging sara thank you well joe is here in just a moment to tell us about how the korean summit is causing excitement in the world of sport with the two countries planning a joint olympics beds coming up right after a snapshot off the weather there with us.

emergency legislation to prosecute people caught contaminating fruits the country's strawberry industry is in crisis because of a scare about needles. the story. the lady

who posted this video says it illustrates the worst thing to ever happen to her family the family business growing strawberries has been forced to dump its products at the busiest time of the year supermarkets that won't buy the fruit in normal quantities because their customers fear what the strawberries may contain last week there was what seemed like an isolated case of a sewing needle inserted in a strawberry probably by described told employee at a strawberry farm but since then there have been reports of more than twenty suspected copycat incidents around australia in relation to the motivation in rushing to these offenses we still haven't. have any confirmed motivation or reasons why a person want to do this there is speculation that some cases are children putting needles into strawberry's while they're sitting on shop shelves other cases are complex hoaxes people pretending to find needles and strawberries once they're home

it's not a joke it's not funny you're putting the largely hoods of hardworking strivings at risk and you're scaring children and you're a coward and you're a grown up and if you do that sort of thing in this country we will come after you and we will throw the book at you strawberries that are being sold are heavily discounted almost as low as the equivalent of one us dollar a pack and farmers of other fruits are fearful to someone has claimed to have found a needle in a banana and in sydney an apple there just freaked me out with them thinking my daughter normally just grabs and just biting the apples the race is on to contain the strawberry scare before it does any more damage to the economy dorset jabari al-jazeera. so we've been telling you about the historic day between the two koreas and it's also been making news in the world of sports how so joe yeah that's right daryn some big news actually for sports fans from that summit the two countries are

planning a joint bid for the twenty thirty two olympics the leaders of north and south korea didn't give details about which cities might host the games or how far they've got in their planning but there's still plenty of time they'll have until twenty twenty five before the international committee and mountains the hosts here's how some people in seoul feel about the joint games bid now this economy is a good body of all there is still a lot of time left until the end so i don't know what will happen between now and then but if these good mood continues and we'll get the opportunity to work together it will be good for us to host the olympics together but again you know it's not really a big deal whether it happens or not we have to take care of issues such as the nuclear program peace treaty and the north korean economic situation first for one month and south korea have previously used sports events as a tool for diplomacy at the winter games and this year one of the iconic images was

of the two countries marching under the korean unification flag at the opening ceremony they also feel that a joint women's ice hockey team north and south korea went further at the asian games in indonesia in august they fielded a unified team in basketball canoeing and rowing in the latest joint statement the two koreas also said they're planning to participate jointly at international competitions including the twenty twenty limpid games in tokyo well earlier i spoke to olympic communications consultant strettle sufi latest he said that sports was playing an important part in improved improving south and north relations. the olympic games have served well korea and korea said well clearly the games it's interesting that this is the thirtieth anniversary of nine hundred eighty eight say well games and if you don't already have an office i was able to tell you that these games back in ninety eight where it's not only for democracy or the country now. the on time playing games was very important that. they were

happening at the moment of attention between the north and south and they might have to deescalate sort of the tension between north and south so what we see here is they're not sort of next after we know that sport and. if our a force bring people together in these throwback to the values of the olympic movement back in the ends and games as we know that where the olympics. something better powerful is the cities states will seize any possibility you know aren't complete now with a new identity played by gets into or going to be games or this allows for a more flexibility in the past we would have to ask we see the us force at home now we know that sports will have to seek it's cool because the only big sports i think obviously the technical side needs to be solidly. there's no doubt in my mind especially after the war with with the public of south korea that they have now they're not to expect to get. a silly olympic beach and i think when the time

comes. having finally very interesting proposal science some exciting sports news at that summit terry thank you joe and thanks for watching the news good we'll see you back here on thursday. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of other lives. other stories . providing a glimpse into someone else's wild. inspiring

its nuclear program unconditionally and there is still no sign of a full inventory of what weapons the north has or a timetable for when it will give them up in spite of the smiles it's far from certain south korean officials have got enough from this summit to restart talks between the north and the u.s. does not mention weapons or fissile material other things and the same thing with delivery systems they offered to close and dismantle a launch pad at a space launch facility but they say nothing about all of their mobile launchers and their submarine launch ballistic missile program for example but this summit has marked a new high into korean relations the military signed an agreement to defuse tensions along the heavily fortified demilitarized zone that separates the two koreas by removing guard posts and disarming soldiers who face off against each other between the blue huts of the panmunjom troops village. for

headlong rush into each other's embrace of the bride al jazeera so. august on's former prime minister nawaz sharif has been freed from prison on bail the islamabad high court ordered sharif his daughter and son in law to be released until their peeler gets to corruption conviction can be heard ruled they were quote deficiencies in the case presented to the court which sentence them to jail in july . one of pakistan's leading politicians nawaz sharif has served three terms as prime minister is first time began in one nine hundred ninety one the second ended with a bloodless coup in one thousand nine hundred nine and in twenty thirteen he made a triumphant return to win a third term in power but just four years later sharif was forced out amid allegations of corruption and in april this year the supremes court banned him from

politics for life in july the anticorruption court found him guilty of the purchase of four luxury apartments in london he was sentenced to ten years jail now has been freed on bail but still faces two separate corruption charges come out how to has the latest from the capital islamabad. after the cold war digna watched for through on our special craft or the city of the hall that special aircraft arranged for him to carry. a son in law captain and also the former chief minister of the pond job and younger brother and i watched. of course now as a temporary relieved by being out of gain however he by no means exonerated the district in the name of god will continue for some time until the final judgment in the ongoing. the government on the thing that called in the country of they have

proven that they are above politics although mr nawaz sharif's party had been very critical of the country. the government information minister said that it was evidence that the country will free and fair and asia's former prime minister najib razak has been detained again a corruption scandal and g.b. is already facing a string of challenges linked to billions of dollars that went missing from estate investment fund known as one and d b millions were transferred to personal bank accounts the malaysian anti-corruption commission said she will appear in court on thursday barnsley has more from clinton and paul. this is a significant development former prime minister najib razak is expected to be charged in court tomorrow in relation to having received seven hundred million dollars from state investment fund one m d b now he's the first person in malaysia to be charged in relation to one m.t.b. the corruption scandal surrounding the state investment fund that he set up when he

was prime minister and finance minister of the country it is also this very fund that the u.s. department of justice alleges not just and his associates had stolen at least four and a half billion dollars from now not already faces several charges ranging from criminal breach of trust to money laundering but those charges are in relation to in total a sum of ten million dollars that he had received from a company known as s.r.c. international a company that was formally a unit of one m d b a company under the ultimate control of the finance ministry of which he was in charge now and the new charges expected to be laid against not just on thursday altogether a lot more significant because they involve a much larger sum of money it also involves a more complex investigation investigators say the transactions that led to the monies flowing out from one end and into personal bank accounts were altogether

more complex and more convoluted using foreign entities and several front companies u.s. president donald trump says it would be unfortunate if the woman accusing his supremes court nominee of sexual assault did not appear before the senate judiciary committee christine blasi ford says she wants an f.b.i. investigation into brett kavanaugh before she testifies publicly she's accused him of attacking her and high school education is threatening to derail kevin his confirmation to the highest court in the united states which has defended him. she shows up and makes a very good showing that would be very interesting is that you make a decision but i can only say this you said you know standing there really hard to imagine that anything that. was going on down to a white house correspondent can really help why is christine daisy ford pressing for an f.b.i. investigation. all certainly in the air of the me too movement there is

a lot of support for accusers to be able to tell their story and in fact we've heard from the republican chair of the senate judiciary committee in the last couple of hours saying that he wants to give her that opportunity initially pressing for a public hearing on monday that would also include judge kavanaugh being able to share his side of the story but given the allegations in the sensitivity of those allegations of sexual assault she has also been offered a opportunity to speak privately with staff members and senators so that she doesn't have to talk about painful experiences perhaps in a public forum under the spotlight she has declined this she appears to be still pressing through her lawyer to have the f.b.i. look at the allegations and conduct an investigation and that has led to charges from some particularly conservatives who say that some of this is democrats playing

politics knowing that if an f.b.i. investigation were to take place it would take quite some time and would extend beyond the congressional elections in november when potentially democrats could take control of not only the house of representatives but the senate and potentially the rail this nomination something that they have said they have wanted to do from the start secondly given all that how lucky is it that kevin to make it to the supreme court. well it is a real possibility including the fact that there is evidence and video clips that are surfacing from twenty fourteen from twenty fifteen where brett kavanaugh essentially kind of glor glorifies public drinking heavy drinking talks about it in a speech at yale law school and also in a video clip is saying what happens at georgetown prep the high school he attended stays at georgetown prep why does this matter well the accuser says that cavanagh was drunk when the sexual assault occurred so that's certainly going to be weighing

into the minds of those who have to vote this not only out of committee where right now it is in jeopardy but it then needs to go to a full senate and that was already going to be a potentially difficult vote getting more difficult by the day with these accusations committee how could thank you very much indeed still to come on al-jazeera as to reason may propose to address an e.u. summit to the german comic a b.m.w. announces plans to shut down its u.k. plant following brick sit. and malaysian authorities investigate a suspected outcome hope for joining those killed more than twenty people.
