a second referendum and marks a major shift between the u.k.'s two main parties with the ruling conservatives still committed to leaving barnsley reports from a labor party conference in liverpool. if you look. for the true believers in the current labor passim this is the must have a conference never mind that their leader jeremy corbin has only a lukewarm relationship with the european union criticising it in the past as a capitalist club convincing him to defeat bricks it is everything now the labor party the democratic party well it's becoming a more democratic party and i think the leadership will accept. the voice of the members. about democracy and actually the call for a new referendum on brics it is also about democracy labor membership has boomed under a philosophy that says the wider the wealth gap in britain the harder you have to fight back until now this unrepentant socialism has maintained

a deafening silence over brick sets but no longer over the course of this week the labor party has unveiled a whole set of eye catching aggressively position policies in favor of redistributing wealth to working people things like putting workers on company boards three nationalizing key services that sort of thing and every single one of them could be achieved without the u.k. having to leave the european union. then. so labor is now offering two things at once first a vote down any deal the government comes up with in parliament on the grounds that it will be economically damaging while simultaneously calling for a national election or a new vote which could include a choice of not leaving europe at all having first see all those fever there was no down seeing which way the vote was going to go. gradually it seems the time it is turning we know already that the e.u.

leaders would definitely extend the article fifty process if we were to have. a face on the deal or indeed general election they wouldn't interfere in a democratic process and make us go away from the line during that time so really that's not a worry what we need to do is to make sure that we do have that option so that it's the people of this country having the final say and not just a few politicians most labor m.p.'s who support breck's that haven't turned up this week they were there to u.-turn could alienate their own constituents who voted to leave this veteran looked suddenly like a stranger in his own policy when seventeen and the million people vote we know that cameron told two women to get a different result but the truth is they bolted the other way and they voted to coma out and i don't think you're comply in the face of people seventy percent in some constituencies bolton to get the simplest. bricks it is so important

wondered about the level of sexual abuse committed against children in this country in recent times by elements within the catholic church here in the city of fold the catholic church in germany is holding its bishops conference and at a news conference a little earlier germany's leading catholic church man was confronted with some very harrowing insights into precisely herron many young people were abused by peter for priests. in all clarity i say sexual abuse is a crime whoever is guilty of it must be punished for far too long the church has either turned a blind eye to it or try to cover it up for all the failures on the hurt i asked a leader of the church in germany must apologize parts of the research we saw at that news conference pulled no punches basically saying that those that we know about now those cases are just the tip of the iceberg and for the victims who have

heard what was said there the question now is is that enough what more do they want the catholic church to do to recognize the problem that it has created in this country and really hope there are some bishops. talking that way that at the end of the week they will come up with a declaration saying that we admit that we as a as a church are guilty as an organization and that therefore we accept that a proper investigation an independent investigation needs to be done now an inquiry one element that emerged from this news conference is clear but these are the cases we know about these more than three thousand cases but the speculation the informed speculation is that there could be very many more victims out there who we just don't know about the question will be what does the cat. church due for them going

taiwan has bought three hundred thirty million dollars worth of new military equipment from the u.s. it includes spare parts and support for f. sixteen fighter jets and other military aircraft the us is the only country that sells weapons to the island as we do so for nearly forty years china considers taiwan part of its territory and opposes all u.s. military sales there. thailand says it will no longer take in other countries electronic rubbish so far this year that seen an influx of waste after china enforce a similar ban when he reports from bangkok. these are not images normally associated with one of the world's most popular tourist destinations through a combination of consumption poor infrastructure and practices thailand is one of the world's largest contributors of ocean waste many of its beaches and waterways are clogged with rubbish it's also one of the region's biggest importers of waste

but is making a move to stop it within six months the government says it will ban imports of hundreds of types of scrap electronics. in the proposal we suggest banning the import of used electrical appliances which total four hundred thirty two items last year thailand imported fifty three thousand tons of waste which is recycled for precious metal or plastic but it can also contain hazardous materials this year it's almost matched that amount already a result of china stopping some waste imports in january in thailand only a few companies are licensed to import a waste but corruption and weak law enforcement mean a lot more is brought into the country illegally or that's your taf sam. best. person. to the car lot. to the

an ordinary week doctor even atar at the heart a surgeon at the only functioning hospital in bunch town in north eastern south sudan and his steam operate on around sixty patients two hundred thousand people most of them refugees from sudan's blue nile state live in this remote town and look to a band hospital for all their medical needs has destroyed almost the infrastructure . almost always including medical hospital was destroyed i think the process of. all of the military working to the supposed to. south sudan has been in conflict since twenty thirteen the war has divided the country along ethnic lines there kaname and made it difficult for many people to access basic services like health care when the conflict started at tahrir and hundreds of refugees were just beginning to settle in after fleeing violence in neighboring sudan you have to do he has collectively leave to the two countries for twenty years and has seen the

worst of both wars what challenges did you face in sudan in the mud in the. bombing the area seriously sometimes again and then you were displaced and had to come to south sudan and then a conflict broke out tell us about that situation the only difference was that there was no one but many in south sudan but of course the fighting was just the same the fighting is the going place we are in there. is another complication with this one was it was from within when we. know very well that that is a force. the united nations refugee agency nominated him for the prestigious nansen award which she won in recognition of his work and the incredibly difficult circumstances none so in the world is awarded

to some exploding now in. work humanitarian work done but by people on behalf of refugees internal internal displaced people and stateless people and the doctor. has the most. outstanding commitment to show he says he'll use the award money and his new platform to try to make the lives of his patients a little better catherine soy al-jazeera nairobi. there is here is the head of the united nations mission in south sudan and he joins us live from u.n. headquarters in new york thank you very much indeed for your time so earlier this month the latest peace agreement was signed for south sudan there were suggestion that was already starting to unravel can you bring us up to date with the latest on the ground there well this still has been a bit of fighting on the ground i would say overall in the last month and a half since the the negotiations began on the on the peace agreement the the level

of fighting has different come down and that's good news still hasn't been completely eliminated there are still some pockets around the country with this conflict going on but if we can continue to see that sort of development that's going to be very positive for the the sort of scenes that you've just seen on the television just now in addition to that i think what we have to do is to get in behind the peace agreement to make sure that it moves forward and not and doesn't falter and doesn't stall how quickly on that helping it to not stall i mean what how critical role does the u.n. have in that what can it do. well i certainly think that what needs to happen now is the is to develop up the implementation of the peace agreement so we've got a broad agreement now with with the various science parties signed on it's the question of how it becomes hell it's implemented on the ground so the two things for example making sure that the forces on the ground separate so that they are not

fighting each other anymore and then having a process by which those forces are ultimately brought together and we get demobilisation happening of of actors and then of course the second thing is seeing some of these opposition leaders coming into juba and being part of the government and actually being and moving forward in one government rather than having you know obviously the various factions split up across the country what about the role of u.n. peacekeeping more and more specifically in general when peacekeeping which is there's always the complaint that it's underfunded what is this situation the south sudan how can they. carry out the commitments. most of their peers because we got fourteen and a half thousand peacekeepers on the ground they're scattered right across the country our role is largely to protect civilians to to get out and to into be able to get into the villages and towns to try and stabilize the situation and

ensure that people are protected we've also got a couple hundred thousand two hundred thousand people living in our bases who have fled there because they were worried about their safety so it's about creating the conditions with their peacekeepers to enable people to go back to their homes back to the villages from where they've been displaced from and get on with their normal lives when that happens and they can start growing they can start looking after their animals etc they can look after themselves the need for humanitarian assistance which is so great at the moment will start to decline and people can get on and you know live the lots of lives that they've always had a hope for children can go to school health centers can be reopened again and we can have a you know the a bit of south sudan that new i gather you had a meeting about just today on the sidelines of the un general assembly what kind of things are you talk about in terms of getting that aid to access an improved. well i guess this is obviously hugely important at the moment i had is reaching

about six million people in south sudan so there's reasonable access on the ground but in some critical areas where there's fighting going on and people are displaced and people are in need we're still having some difficulty getting to those people overwhelmingly we can get to the various parts of south sudan but these critical areas that we need to need to make sure that we can get to and with the peace agreement that should in theory improve because of the if the forces are being separated and the fighting is is the climbing then we should be able to get to those those most at need populations with food assistance with water with center taishan except for for families and they will live to get back again to the to the villages they would share thank you very much indeed to protect our children i was here. thanks laura is still to come on the program a breakthrough in spinal treatment technology is helping paralyzed patients get
