5:06 pm
increasing number of people the wait for a place on a flight to safety is over as they leave they perhaps contemplate an even longer wait before they'll be able to return home wayne hay al-jazeera palu indonesia. well that was airport a little earlier in the day it is now and wednesday evening then jamila joins us live there for so just bring us up to date to me on how operations have been going there at the airport. well there's still clearly. because airplanes continue to be sickly land here bringing in supplies humanitarian workers volunteers from different countries we've seen them arrive with their own cargo of medical assistance kits that they've brought in the president was here today present djoko we don't know his presence here signals that the government is
5:07 pm
in full control and that is exactly what he said what he did was to went through different areas of the devastation he visited a hospital he saw and met some of the evacuees and basically said he is generally satisfied about how things are moving but he pointed out the need to access hard to reach areas these are areas that remain closed of were many civilians are believed to still be trapped and this is a logistical issue has them because so many areas are blocked by debris and this is exactly why they've brought in all these equipments to clear the debris in order for help to get in families searching for their loved ones they don't even know where to begin as you can see in the reports of when there are those who are leaving with no clear idea as to when they can go back and not to mention the hundreds of people who have been buried without proper identification because of the attempt of the government to stop the spread of disease this is going to be a long process the devastation there is something that will be felt for many months
5:08 pm
to come but the government basically in essence is assuring the people of indonesia that they are in charge and you can see that just by how things are moving here at the airport. jimeoin in vogue in. a turkish government official say a prominent saudi journalist and critic is still inside the saudi consulate in istanbul earlier the washington post had said it wasn't sure if contributary. was being detained or questioned it said he was last seen entering the consulate to pick up paperwork. commentaries and criticism of crown prince mohammed bin sandman have been published by several western newspapers scott griffin is deputy director of the international press institute he says this incident contrasts with the saudi arabian leadership claim that the country is becoming more liberal we don't know
5:09 pm
all the facts yet but we are concerned obviously hasn't been seen how his lasting injury in the saudi consulate we don't know how he was doing we don't know how he was being treated he's a critic of the current saudi regime we know that we also know that the saddam regime is going after its critics and this is a particularly in my dishes example someone who went to the consulate according to reports and to get documents he needed to get married and has not been able to leave so this is a this is an ambitious move and we're very concerned about his welfare but i mean i think what this incident shows most of all is the contradiction in the silent regimes claims that it is opening up and it is liberalizing we've seen a lot of talk a lot of statements from the side of the officials heading in that direction but when you look at the actions of the government government we see something very different over the past year and this is not what is going on in this town but was not an isolated case and as i said it's an idea just example but we have many other
5:10 pm
examples of joe who are so critics of the current government do are being held currently prison sentences for their criticism of the government so we see that in fact in many ways things are actually headed in the opposite direction. iran's president has welcomed a ruling by the un's top court ordering the u.s. to temporarily lift some sanctions on iran the u.s. is penalizing companies trading with iran off to reimpose sanctions this year the i.c.j. ruled the u.s. must withdraw sanctions related to the humanitarian goods in civil aviation sector the united states says the i.c.j. has no jurisdiction in the matter it would drew from the twenty fifteen iran nuclear deal this year they must ravi has more from tehran. the united states would have wanted to thrown out any case that iran has brought against the united states with regards to nine hundred fifty five french a treaty based on that the court hasn't recognized in the past that didn't happen
5:11 pm
so it's not exactly what the americans wanted it doesn't involve the temporary lifting of all sanctions either so it's not exactly what the iranians wanted what the court ruling does say is that the u.s. must remove by any means of its own choosing any impediment to the free exportation of goods regarding humanitarian concerns that includes medicine and medical equipment for lifesaving needs it really involves the food and agriculture stuff and it also refers to parts and replacement parts as well as equipment for civil aviation as well as services for civil aviation and with regards to aviation specifically the course said that the united states must remove any banking transfer any impediments to or punishment for people that move money around to help make that possible but again even though this is a very positive ruling for iran the i.c.j. has no police or no army to carry out its orders it has no effective way to to actually implement these sanctions and the united states has said over and over again it does not only not recognize the authority of this court but that anything
5:12 pm
that is doing against iran is a national security matter and that's america's business so while it is certainly another moral victory practically on the ground it represents almost nothing. all right still ahead on al-jazeera is an end in sight to iraq's months a political uncertainty is finally a pick for prime minister. how does not much in the sky know about china what was a new savings of live picture brought some rain to sichuan some snow off in the higher ground it will stay up on the tibetan plateau for most of china apart from the occasional shower maybe in you not it's dry and still quite warm twenty seven who will have on and so you were in hong kong without too hard humidity are the so nice looking weather for time whilst running at the baby just catching shanghai was

5:16 pm
the conservative party conference a short while ago may defended her plan for braggs it in six months time and said the u.k. will be a champion of free trade across the world. i have treated the european union with nothing but respect the united kingdom expects the same adipose all is for a free trade deal that provides for frictionless trading goods it would protect hundreds of thousands of jobs in the just in time supply chains our manufacturing firms rely on businesses wouldn't face costly checks when their exports the e.u. so they can invest with confidence and they would protect our precious union the seamless border in northern ireland a bedrock of peace and stability would see no change whatsoever. a paul brennan has more from the conservative party conference in bernie. it was
5:17 pm
a remarkably self-assured performance by the prime minister she has a reputation for being a bit stiff and rebutted her nickname in some quarters is the may boss so to see her moving on to the stage to the tune of dancing queen by abba was an unexpected delight for the delegates within the order tory i'm here at birmingham but the speech that she gave really didn't put much more meat on the bones of the actual details of what britain's brackets tuition is going to be yes she came out and appeal for unity she made a passing reference to her rival boris johnson who's been a thorn in her side politically and is calling for much tougher bracks and for the end of the checkers deal it was noticeable that's the prime minister didn't wants mention of the word checkers perhaps for fear of being heckled or booed at any mention of that particular word and she gave a quite a tough line as far as the possibility that britain would be prepared to walk away from the go see ations and take a breath sit with no deal effectively crash out of the european union but for all
5:18 pm
of the warm words that the delegates had for her performance after they finished fundamentally have problems remain the same she has difficulties with the situation in northern ireland democratic unionist party which gives her a majority still seemingly unhappy with the possible deals the options that aren't being offered in relation to a northern ireland border arrangement and of course her opponents within the party boris johnson and his cover of supporters that what she said here is not going to change their minds at all time is running out isn't a couple of weeks before this october summit seventeenth eighteenth of october at which point britain should be in a position of actually agreeing the divorce deal the details of britain's bracks it is going to be a very tall order indeed to meet that timetable. well in may's speech she also told her party conference that britain will not be held hostage by russia britain has charged two russian men it believes poisoned former spy say gates cripple and his

daughter junia on its soil president vladimir putin has called script all a traitor and denied any russian involvement in what happened. he's just a spy a traitor to the motherland you understand you're such a turn traitor to the motherland well he's one of the. little you mean he's just a scumbag that's it. or a challenge is live for us in moscow so roy some pretty strident remarks there from the president of the russian federation. yeah i'm to put this in context are all tell you about something else putin has said this came up in a documentary that was released on russian state t.v. . earlier on in two thousand and eight now putin was asked by the interviewer whether he could forgive president yes of course i can forgive but not everything he was then asked what can't you forgive and putin's answer was betrayal so that
5:20 pm
suggests that. the man who you just heard putin calling a traitor to the motherland and a scumbag fits into the brackets of people that putin probably can't forgive so some revealing language there i think from the russian president's now over the past few days there has been a. trickle of extra information coming out of about this case particularly about the man bashir of who belling cat the investigative journalists a little while ago said was actually called anatoly chippy go now. photos of meat appearing on the internet alleging. alleging to be all of the wall of heroes in chip peak is military academy showing that ship was the recipient of the hero of russia award now a short while ago the president said that it had no information of receiving such
5:21 pm
an award the kremlin does seem to be rattled at the moment it seems of shut down conversations with the media about this as it's not going to talk to the media any more it i think believes at the moment that it doesn't have that much control over this narrative and it's feeding concerned so what does this tell us then rory about president putin's thinking. well i think it tells us that he is trying to stay above the issue trying to keep his distance from it bots when pushed he will reveal i think his psychology in some ways an era he'll reveal what he thinks about the people that he considers to be traitors of the model the motherland you know he calls them scum something else that came out of this question and answer session on
5:22 pm
stage that you're watching now i think that was quite interesting was there was a follow up question to all this which was about the woman sturgis who die some months off the script all poisoning now when putin was asked about this he seemed to not know what's the interviewer was talking about he seemed to not have heard about this death and that i think raises questions it raises questions about the amount of information the putin has been given and how closely he's actually been following the way that the script all poisoning and its aftermath played out in the united kingdom. rory chalons in moscow thanks for. more potential legal troubles for donald trump new york state is to investigate tax fraud allegations against the u.s. president a reporter in the new york times says he helped his parents of void paying tax
