very high rowing 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 the 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 other 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 and inquire. 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 be informed speculation is that there could be very many more victims. who just don't know about it the question will be what does the catholic church do for them going on from this conference that's taking place in folder this week. the owner of chelsea football club has failed to games with residency police classified roman abramovich a threat to public security the russian oligarch was ruled a threat of the fears of money laundering and his connections to criminal

thousands of people across quantum all are urging president jimmy morales to step down following government efforts to shut down the international commission against impunity in guatemala known as seasick the body has worked with guatemalan law agencies helping prosecute hundreds of individuals including former president also . this was the scene in guatemala city last thursday after the morales government said it would stop head. from coming back into water mob in defiance of a ruling by the constitutional court where our lives had pledged a new era of political accountability when running for the presidency in two thousand and fifteen but that was before turned its eye on what imus and his family amid allegations of illegal campaign financing heres what seasick has to say about its work. commissioner i ask this as the state why we are pros

who demand for in the criminal networks today within this state and getting the justice sent to us why we are productive on the surface of a military financing of corruption within the state of corruption in justice will be more difficult our missions for example we haven't got to suck in this more than the sixteen criminal structures e.g. fired more than one delves into criminal cases more than three hundred tens and tens. well the move to block the head of sea sick from entering the country came just two weeks after the guatemalan government said it would mandate when it expires on september twenty ninth teen so what help is there of safeguarding transparent and democratic governance in guatemala joining us from guatemala to discuss this is al jazeera reporter david mercer. and ngo we have in our own country and out here as a human rights lawyer and director of the international commission of jurists

office for central america and in guatemala city we have you respond he is a journalist and political analyst who works with the civil society group. welcome to the stream gentlemen so good to have you here i want to start on my laptop with just one of the thousands of protesters who've been out on the streets in guatemala this is brenda she writes i will continue protesting in the streets against the actions of this government to expel because this corrupt system has even stolen our fear but not our faith and a possible future with justice now. it is not every day that you see thousands of people take to the streets in support of a un backed agency but i want to give our audience a little taste into why that might be you take a look at this from on my laptop here this is public support for institutions and guatemala this is a study that will spill easterly or this year conducted in two thousand and seventeen and it shows support for seasick is higher than support for the media

public ministry the government congress and political parties help us understand give us some context for why seasick is so important to people. well actually one of the reasons why there is widespread support for the work of c c it is because it's been one of the most effective tools in prosecuting criminal networks outlawing hope to justice is brenda and her. and. eliminate. the scene with a few not positive there is no means only because your connection is breaking up a little bit so we're going to come back to you because i like what you were saying where you were taking us but david you've been out there with the protesters on the streets talk to them what are they been telling you. well that's what i think that

survey says it all right there the public confidence in any kind of government institution is incredibly low in the country. and people see that really as lisa saying that the only effective organ is being able to prosecute to investigate and prosecute some of these alleged crimes crimes successfully has been this outside group. and it's and it's proven there are a couple of cases i believe that there's the ski sentences that are going to be handed down over the next couple of days a couple of big cases involving public because social security health systems as well as. a magical licks are that was developed in order to clean one of the big lakes here in guatemala and those are both being taken under by seasick so this is an organization or an organization that's been working for the past twelve twelve years probably here and what a lot and they have won the confidence of

a lot of people and a lot of it just comes back to what happened back in two thousand and fifteen with taking down or helping to take down former president and vice president something that just hasn't been seen in guatemala before and that certainly won a lot of public accolades and won them a lot of support from the public i want to share some of that support protesters who gathered in the. comments of what they said of why they were out there. we are demanding the resignation of the president because he does not know how to govern the only thing that he is doing is being manipulated by the corrupt we are tired we are poor in guatemala we have high levels of amount of christian education is going down a lot of mala has a lot of good things to give the corollas is denying us that i was one of those better. if

he was a good politician he would support the fight against corruption. and remove those who are corrupt from the government but he's done the opposite. after talking about a fight against corruption saying that he was not a thief or corrupt. he did the exact opposite. he hooked up with the corrupt to form his government but as the seventh so ramon you heard what he was saying there you hear that support there but i want to share this tweet from betty on twitter she says sea sick is the cancer of our country where a sovereign state and should be treated as such you can't fight corruption with corruption then in anything the un touches ends up corrupt especially when absolute power is given to an entity without oversight and accountability so help explain this clearly there are two sides to this where do you fall when you. and. the interview that you show. and.

so three. he's. well. if. he is. useful. so once people are in general the fight. over the is. being stuck all over the right. option. of course on the other side the government has a lot of them beans and interest for me three on something. to. first of all this or that they need to be absolute. they want to bring those to the bank. so they need to be nowadays is not.

we have. secondly. doing. fine is that the government. is in. so they are talking about these pretty soon and finally is going to bring us back to the fight of community feel against and become useless so they have a feeling that they will call back to seek all of force which is the future speed more than the fifty percent of the village when all of us are coming back is what they are trying to say and that's the major need to learn from the public one. i hear what you're saying david go ahead i was going to say and i think this is what some of the root of the problem here is in my perspective is that you've got

in some ways you've got actors from the extreme right. who are playing off against well actions actors against the extreme left but it's almost it's been it's been something that i've noticed and what i'm all of that it seems in some ways like the country is trapped in the times of of of the cold war still and it's caught and it's the communists who are against the military and you know democracy came to guatemala quite a long time ago the peace accords were signed back in one nine hundred ninety six. and in some ways they got to you know the left wing they sort of morphed into a lot of the n.g.o.s and some of the public ministries and and and and the army morphed into the government and these two sides of being sort of battling it out for years and years and years since then and i think that there is this use of the term sovereignty which is used to you know paint seasick with this with this brush

saying that these are foreigners these are foreigners who are interfering with our country and at the same time so many what i'm olens who i've spoken to say we want to mars have shown that we're incapable of eliminating corruption from the very core of our country and we're not able to run our country in a way where it doesn't hammer. migrants you know where these huge flows of migrants who are heading to the united states and part of this is a large part of this is due to corruption and it's very rotten to the very core of what i'm all and so in some people's perspective the only way of clearing this is with a foreign entity that doesn't have any connections to the country but of course. some people from the extreme right they played this off as being a sovereign cartons that nobody should be telling what the law is what they should and what they shouldn't do and i think that the majority. the populous population is sort of trapped in the middle of these two actors so keeping that in mind those two sides that you laid out for us i want to share this context of your jose's and

what he says campaigns against you sick falsely state that so you say it is foreign intervention an attack on sovereignty the truth is that you say it was an idea for which the u.n. support was then requested it was an approved by guatemala's congress and became guatemalan law so with that said even still president perilous and his government defended the decision to not renew see six men date when it comes time to block the head of. from coming into the country have a listen to the president and a member of government on why. i reaffirm that the decisions are not renew see six mandates or have a new commission will not affect nor put at risk corruption cases in guatemala this statement is in response to speculation from national and international actors

who have claims that there is an alleged obstruction of justice this is being completely rejected here. it's in your last guest mr evander lascars has put pressure on congress for reforms to the constitution of the republic and to change laws in the country seasick has sought to change laws and called on heads in congress to influence decisions and state bodies i read and if. so would you be as you heard what they both had to say there the president being one of them is this instance of guatemala relinquishing its sovereignty. you know over it or from the government. he. says. he couldn't even answer this you know but he did. and

i think what he's trying to do with. the airport is a. bit of it yeah especially in the street. she. said to break up the operating what i'm. used. to the beginning of. a country. or quite a lot. more democratic. and i apologise for the connection there coming to us from guatemala city and the connections are a little bit choppy there but we could make out what you were saying you said that you believe that this is been overstated this idea of sovereignty being willing question i want to share a comment though from an author of the piece who talks about this this is the

headline out sums it up for us she says five ways the guatemalan government is trying to dismantle scene say and it she says one of those way by dismantling the police force surprising ways that you may not know about here is what him and because had to say. the police department place a crucial role in the fight against corruption executing arrest hope with the investigations and protect prosecutors earlier this year the government fired the chief and many of the high ranking officers in the apartment. around investigators to different areas and even relocated forty of the police officers that have been assigned there regularly to see when the police department with all of these changes in the leadership is a direct impact in the fight against corruption because it handicaps the manpower to carry out. so she seems to give us just one way that corruption and a government that is accused of dealing in corruption f.x.

people in their everyday lives here's another this is one on twitter who says corruption affects the daily lives in an unexpected awaits in this unjust an unequal country non-existent or deficient public services like education health transportation and roads middle class citizens must spend money and order to substitute them with private services and that's just a small list there david how is this affecting people that you talk to in their everyday lives. yeah i mean it's corruption is a massive problem here and just before i get on to that i just wanted to mention one thing there had been an interview that been done with the head. of the special prosecutor's office against impunity in water mall called the f.e.c. i and they're the ones who work hand in hand with the c.c. aig but they're on their own the government side their government entity and head of that office and francisco's and of all he said recently that he he was afraid

that if seasick left that one wall would go back to what all the rest to where they were before see six arrival which means higher rates of crime which means more inequality mitch means more poverty which means more impunity. i don't respirator something like and zero percent are violent crimes and so it very man who's in charge of prosecuting corruption cases for that one of the government is saying seasick please don't go so i thought that was something that was important to point out there and yet from the reporting that i do across the country. there is as very interesting actually you know what i was a very polarized country and perhaps it finds itself more polarized today than it has for many years and i tend to find that tends to be that the people who are poor the people who would like to have some of those government services that were mentioned in that tweet the people who are lacking in you know public education the people who don't have access to health care and the people who are really

struggling these are the same people who are thinking about making that expensive trip expensive a dangerous trip to the united states illegally these are the people who really are in support of the work that cizik is doing they're hoping that the guatemalan guatemala has a possibility to change and be a more inclusive society in represent their interests so really and then i think when you get around people maybe who have a little bit more more money and they're you know they already pay for all these private. services then they're not. really so these people aren't as concerned with the work that's that's really a little bit of the bite back shall we say but certainly travelling around the country seen the myriad of problems that. child malnutrition and i did which were just seen there too you know high rates of violence violence women violence children poverty inequality security the list goes on and on and on and on and at the root of it all is corruption so there are certainly

a lot of people who watch get at that issue the question is how do you do it and that's what we're debating right here right now and clearly so many of our commentaries on twitter say how you do it is by allowing c. segue to stay and to stay even past their mandate this is asked here on twitter who says the state will work normally and till september twenty ninth but outside from guatemala i think he won't return to guatemala remember he has been blocked from returning but he will designate another person to lead. the he will go on being the leader from washington so this is one idea of what may happen that i'm on how do you see this playing out who will back down for the government or cystic. well i think it also depends on the most regimes from the what the moment people because as we saw last week they're the most asians on the. moral of the nation is against equipment if we if not of don't feel that we have sent

these places and. because he's. very strong and interests so i guess down to the worst of all the people has been produced in order to be able to. move the poor men who fucking all into what we were before it president. was in you. dependent on huge politics but you know there is in the national truth you all should. comply with your mandate because we are very attorney general is not reacting and she should have already started an investigation against the president and the president should be in jail right now so. tense on the what the institutions do

and release also demonstrate that their national if you will not do anything. in order to fight corruption. is not in the plan. i think i'd just like to say that you know back in two thousand and fifteen jury the massive protests the street demonstrations that there were which eventually led to the downfall of the street demonstrators were sort of working together with you the clinton. from the east as well you know i know that they were really instrumental in bringing those street demonstrations together and there was fifty sixty thousand people down at the plaza the central plaza what i call a city every second weekend there was a huge number of people from what i've seen over the past couple of weeks although there this is a very critical moment in guatemala history i didn't see the same number of people coming out into the street now i don't know if it's corruption has well i'll tell you actually a few people who i've spoken to people who i would have expected to have been

proceed they told me that they weren't they told me that. illegal campaign financing whether jew morale is guilty of that or not i don't know but they said this is something that's always been done and what a lot of the you know it's a small amount of money it's not something that affects their pocket books particularly and so they don't have a particular fight with that back in the time of i don't but it's really now the former president who was removed from power now he had stolen you know allegedly stolen millions of dollars out of the customs houses this affected people's pocketbooks directly and i think that where you got a lot more people out i don't see that popular support for seasick right now i just don't see it coming down to the people coming out to the streets right now and i think the institutions are going to be hard pressed to try to fight against some of the moves that you can be making without having that public support so a very good time and that also david spiegel dismiss speaking to more or less i just want to share with our audience because this is breaking right now of course the u.n. general assembly is going on to take a look at my screen here president jimmy morales is speaking even today right now

as we speak here's one tweet about what he is saying and schedule to say. is indicating that it would be very tiring for the secretary general. well the u.n. to account for the funding that is used by statistics so he is there speaking about his distaste for this body and you want to get in there will only have about a minute left but how do you see this going forward keeping in mind that this is what your president is advocating for on the u.n. floor now. regarding the massive protests on the last moment they're going to think the crucial part of this has been protests have been smaller but they have been widespread throughout the territory of the country not just focused in the main plaza in the capital city and that it's a positive development and it's also maintained throughout the different weeks that this crisis has taken place i think most of the attention of server should focus now on the role of the constitutional court because the constitutional court has

already ordered the president to backtrack and allow iran blocks into the country and they have constantly announced that they will not abide today just to gain time early mr early in this day introducing several resources student labor courts action on the topic but i think that the magistrates should be aware that they're playing a game of constitutional hardball and they're sure their mandate is very much under question by the press you know they are in charge with the from the constitutional order on the future of the markets in this country not just ceasing it's a broader issue here right i hear what you're saying there and under question indeed i will in this week here this is tweeted out by the american society. of all as jimmy morales is now discussing this using during his un general assembly address quote we believe that a decade was enough time for it to complete its mandate so those are the words of the president we will continue to keep an eye on the story unfortunately that's all

the time we have for today we want you to keep your comments coming via twitter facebook and al-jazeera dot com forwards last the stream of the on line to. my to. my is a. thank . you.

and instantly shifting news cycle we receive in change in america tweet the listening post takes and questions the world's media will be of the details the kind that cannot be conveyed in two hundred eighty characters or fewer exposing how the press operates it is their language is their culture it's their context and why certain stories take precedence while others are ignored we can have a better understanding of how news is created we're going to have

a better understanding of what the news of the listening post on al-jazeera. oldest muslim undertakers working here is just seven days a week that's grown with a community my father purchased a black and blue smoke started to do the london and out of the we saw the stock being faltering to which i became the business partner is this stories we don't often hear told by the people who the. level of. east and undertakers this is europe on al-jazeera. didn't expect their reaction but that's the. president of the un problems laughter as he continues to promote america.

welcome to al-jazeera live from my headquarters in doha pavilion as a product also ahead the iranian data hits back at the u.s. president's accusation of soul and death and destruction and calls washington sanctions economic terrorism. the dog conditions of the victims of yemen's wanted a column of warnings of famine and bill cosby the comedian once known as america's dead is sentenced to jail for sexual assault. don't trump used his address to the united nations to brag about his administration's extraordinary accomplishments a boast that was greeted by incredulous and laughter the america first agenda and his speech was in marked contrast to that of the french president. he stressed the importance of global unity to do with care issues like the conflicts in syria and

yemen the refugee crisis and climate change our diplomatic editor james bass has been following the day's events in new york. when president trump came to the united nations the first of the world leader he met was his french counterpart. he and emmanuelle mccraw embraced warmly then known to get on well something that is perhaps remarkable when you realize as became clear in their speeches that they have very different visions of the way the world should be run trump's world view is america first with all the other countries also putting their own national interests first to he laid that out in a speech that didn't get off to a good start when his bold claim was met with the gospel of astonishment and then laughter in less than two years my administration has accomplished more than almost

any administration in the history of our country. america is souter. didn't expect that reaction but that's how. trump talked about a constellation of strong sovereign independent nations it of course raises the question of whether the u.s. will give up its moral leadership on issues like human rights america will always choose independence and cooperation over global governance control and domination. i honor the right of every nation in this room to pursue its own customs beliefs and traditions the united states will not tell you how to live or work. or worship a couple of hours later and the french president was at the same podium he agreed the world faced crisis but for very different reasons nationalism he said meant

that international cooperation was breaking down in new neighbors well there's no need to look too far to see who is to blame they're here in this assembly they're speaking today those responsible are us believe years of the world it was an impassioned speech he said he didn't believe in the lore of the strongest and he made a passionate defense of parts of the system the trumpet ministration has either attacked or defunded new sutent only session us we shall support those working for peace and humanity unesco the conscience of the united nations the human rights council the international criminal court for whom we're increasing our support in his speech president trump said his administration will reassess how much money it gives to the u.n. and how much funds it gives in international aid that potentially is setting up a new confrontation for next year president marc ross says he wants to give forty

percent more international aid and france is heading the g. seven next year it wants all the members which include the u.s. to give more james pays zero at the united nations well calen dot of president of single global strategy isn't. risky having other countries taking the role of global leadership. well i thought that it was interesting at the beginning when he wasn't expecting the laughter i don't think he realized that they were laughing with him they were laughing at him and i think that he also confused sovereignty and isolationism it's perfectly fine what he suggested about each country protecting their own interests but he described it in such a way that is essentially isolationist which is not the way that the united states has traditionally acted i don't know if it's going to be a chaotic world order because i do think that other countries are going to step up in that vacuum but i also think that president trump would express today is

unfortunately he sees everything in economic terms so having that moral leadership as in using foreign a term courage good behavior in some parts of the world or setting an example be it for democratization human rights president trump expressed today that we're going to be america and you be you for the rest of the world and i think that was unfortunate but donald trump also singled out of iran for particularly haase criticism the u.s. president called government a corrupt dictatorship speaking a short time later iran's president trajectory that iran's leaders so k.o.'s death and destruction. they do not respect their neighbors or borders or the sovereign rights of nations instead iran's leaders plunder the nations resurfaces to enrich themselves and to spread mayhem across the middle east and far beyond.

the government of the us at least the current administration seems determined to render all international institutions ineffectual unlawful unilateral sanctions in themselves constitute a form of economic terrorism and a breach of the right to development the economic war the us has initiated under the rubric of new sanctions not only targets the iranian people but also entails harmful repercussions for the people of other countries but tom's national security adviser john bolton boarded out the administration's talk of attacks on iran kristen salumi has that story strong rhetoric from national security advisor john bolton not only for iran but for those countries who continue to do business with iran he warned of a maximum pressure campaign against any of those countries who try to evade sanctions he went so far as both little in the e.u. for its efforts to find a financial mechanism around that he said that the e.u.

was strong on rhetoric but weak on follow through and as far as iran is concerned he warns leaders there that there would be hell to pay if they did anything to attack u.s. interests or u.s. allies and he went so far as to warn that we are watching and we will come after you this from a man who prior to joining the trumpet ministration had advocated for military action against iran had a man leverage is a former u.s. diplomat who's negotiated with the iranian government and she says trump and his advisers have very different views on how to approach iran. while there was certainly strident very tough rhetoric throughout the on the sidelines of the u.n. and from trump himself what i found striking was that trump seemed to even almost be almost falling asleep while he was reading the talking points in his speech condemning iran and his tweet this morning was that you know he's not going to be

he's probably not meeting with president rouhani at the u.n. this time but that president rouhani is probably a very lovely man so we see the dichotomy with trump as he dealt with north korea as he's dealing with iran my my sense of my understanding from within the trump administration is that president trump himself would be very happy having a new deal with iran one that can be devoid of any detail because he doesn't really care about nuclear weapons or terrorism or anything else he just wants to have a victory that he can tout along with his victory with with north korea to the american public that he has so much better than president obama so while the rhetoric has been strident and president trumps advisers or some of the most anti iran india logs out there president trump himself does seem to have a different view and does seem to be holding the door open for a possible meeting with president rouhani something that trumps own advisors fear more than anything this move on to other news now the u.a.e. says it will support u.s.

proposals for new peace talks on yemen two weeks ago planned talks in geneva called off the hook the officials failed to attend meanwhile the u.n. is warning that millions of yemenis are as a risk of famine as under summons for cold starving families struggling to get to the few clinics available one and you may find some images and his report just a thing. a royal who's a clinic in. the house. and. means he's in critical condition. starvation is threatening families who are among the poorest in the middle east those least capable of surviving. grandmother is understandably distraught not. we don't have money to transport him to the treatment he can only get in sanaa we're in such a dilemma those who gave us money before can't do so anymore no one can keep giving in the situation we don't have any help from any side in this war and we don't have an afghan. bassam maybe two but he weighs less than five kilos

that's ten pounds the capital sana'a where specialist care or medicine may give him a better chance might as well be a world away even though the distance from this clinic at. provence is around a hundred kilometers. fighting on the supply line to sana'a from the red sea port of the data which like the capital is in control of the who the rebels is relentless but a trained government forces as still pushing to take away the control of the data now with the level of fighting as it stands there are worries about how long it will take to open up a humanitarian corridor but tween santa and her data the assurance came out of the un general assembly on monday heard a clamor of warnings that time is running out if a full scale famine is to be avoided for the first time the parents of

a money attrition victims three year old zafer sack of have spoken of their daughter's death it was last week after she went to the same clinic as bassem had a house and in had your province. her father like the parents of bassem says he had no money to take his daughter to get better treatment elsewhere and xavier's mother is worried about her other children's chances of survival she's inconsolable pika and my daughter had malnutrition and her condition was so bad that you could count the ribs in her chest a feet were swollen but on the rest of her body you could see all of her bones so in areas grew bigger but hours before her death the swelling disappeared and she returned to skin and. food aid is now arriving in this remote area and staff in the clinic who tried against the odds to save zafer are now doing what they can to.
