pali right now there is a lot of meat at the row row hotel there searching for between fifty and seventy guests who were inside when it collapsed nearby one of hollywood's biggest shopping centers has been destroyed. elsewhere building damage is less obvious but the reality is worse with individual buildings it's easy to see the destruction from ground level but this wasn't one building it was in a state of seventeen hundred homes and to appreciate what happened here you really need to see it from the air during the earthquake the pressures on the ground grow to such an extent that the soil liquefied collapsing everything in on itself hundreds of people i thought to still be buried here. by wednesday afternoon a search team had dug into an area of just four hundred square meters and had already found twenty five bodies there a square kilometers to go among those buried almost certainly is ricardi suffer

a simply getting out andrew thomas al-jazeera palu indonesia the u.s. is pulling out of a sixty year old treaty with iran after the un's top court ordered washington to ease sanctions tehran hailed the decision by the international court of justice as a victory but the u.s. says the tribunals has no jurisdiction in the matter then bizarrely reports from the iranian capital. in the case of iran versus united states of america the fifteen member bench of the international court of justice ordered the american government to make sure that sanctions against iran do not impact humanitarian aid or civil aviation the united states of america in accordance with its obligation it under the nine hundred fifty five three key of economic relations and consular out right is shall remove by means of it shoes in any impediment is arising from the measures announced it on eight may twenty eighth in to the free

exportation to the territory of the islamic republic of iran of medicine is and medical devices food stuff is an agricultural commodities spare parties equipment and associated services including what on maintenance repair services and inspection is necessary for the safety of aviation iran argued that sanctions reimposed after u.s. president donald trump pulled out of the twenty fifty nuclear deal in may violate a little known french agreement that predates the one nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution. the court agreed but didn't call for the complete lifting of sanctions falling short of the resoundingly decision that iran would have wanted when judges did ask the us not to interfere with banking transactions related to food medicine and air safety but even as the judge read the ruling its practical application remains a question mark and any history made here by the i.c.j.

judges is likely to be symbolic at best both. refrain from any action which might be a good heavy or extend the dispute before the court or make it more difficult towards so with no policing mechanism to enforce its decision in practical terms the court's judgment is more recommendation than ruling iran has been arguing that the approach by americans to war to iran has been illegitimate as well as unlawful by taking the case to the core against the united states i think what you want wants to say that that is the americans who have left the negotiating table that is the americans for who are not observing the international law that is the americans who have been ignoring the result by the united nations security council on monday iran and america will face each other in court again for public hearings over two

billion dollars in iranian assets frozen in two thousand and sixteen the latest world court ruling may seem like a hollow victory to many in iran struggling under the punishing strain of american sanctions but it does help illustrate a point that leaders into iran are keen to make as often as possible given the chance they say america under donald trump does not respect international institutions zain. rozen jordan has more on this from washington d.c. . the trumpet ministration has always said that the iranian lawsuit being brought under the auspices of the one nine hundred fifty five friendship treaty between the two countries was illegal and violated the u.s. is right to deal with its national security issues on its own terms on wednesday mike pompei of the u.s. secretary of state made this announcement this is a decision frankly that is thirty nine years overdue in july iran brought america's case in the international court of justice alleging violations of the treaty of

amity iran six to challenge the united states' decision to cease participation in the iran nuclear deal and to reimpose the sanctions that were lifted as part of that deal iran is attempting to interfere with the sovereign rights of the united states to take a waffle actions necessary to protect our national security and iran is abusing the i.c.j. for political and propaganda purposes what's more the u.s. is going to continue its campaign to economically isolate iran it has been trying to persuade countries around the world to stop making purchases of iranian oil by november sixth when the u.s. is expected to impose a new raft of sanctions against have on this effort and this ruling will probably only spring u.s. officials to deepen their efforts to isolate that country i believe u.s. is also withdrawing from a section of a treaty on diplomatic disputes national security adviser john bolton says the u.s.

wants to avoid being exposed to decisions by the un's top court is called the tribunals politicized and ineffective. i am announcing that the president has decided that the united states will withdraw from the optional protocol in dispute resolution to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations this is in connection with a case brought by the so-called state of palestine naming the united states is a defendant challenging our move our embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem. like distress the united states remains a party to the underlying vienna convention on diplomatic relations and we expect all other parties to abide by their international obligations under the convention when i talk to joel rubin is a former u.s. deputy assistant secretary of state who worked for the successful passage of the iran nuclear deal in congress he joins us live from chevy chase in maryland joe this nine hundred fifty five treaty of amity was established to bill close the ties between the u.s. and iran so what's the thinking behind the u.s.

pulling out and how significant is it. well there and it's it's troubling because this is a treaty that has been longstanding as you mentioned for more than six decades and it's just another sign of increasing tensions between the trunk the ministration and iran and really a curtailing of all diplomatic avenues in the engagement and the context for this is well is the trump administration has been withdrawing from international bodies for the last several months the u.n. refugee and works agency the u.n. human rights council other areas as well within the u.n. and including in addition to that is jumbled dig criticize the international criminal court so the context is also troubling for a u.s. withdrawal from this type of an agreement yet john it's an interesting point you make because the u.s. has also decided to withdraw from optional protocols to the vienna convention on diplomatic relations because of the case the palestinians brought challenging the

u.s. decision to move its embassy to jerusalem is that's yet another example of the u.s. pulling out of protocols just because it's being criticized. well it sure appears that way and we have to talk about we have a thing here in washington in which we call the law of unintended consequences where essentially when a policy is in acted sometimes things happen that one doesn't predict and in the case of of withdrawing from the vienna optional protocol as well as this treaty of amity we're not sure really what does this mean for american iranians in terms of consular services and consular connection that is an unknown items so diplomatic treaties and agreements take time to build and once enact it they develop their own protocol withdrawn unilaterally from them always creates a secondary impact and it shouldn't be done unilaterally if we don't really

understand what will happen down the road iran has called the trump administration an outlaw regime and the point i guess tyrone is making that just because the u.s. doesn't like a decision or is being criticized it pulls out of these bodies and protocols and dales like the j.c. pay away what precedents does this set when washington does this what message is it sending. well i have to have to say we should be careful there trying to ministration does have the right to withdraw from these are calling it outlaws. is this direction because it's within its rights to do so but the policy problem with this is that it is a part of a trend of isolating the united states from our partners in multilateral fora where we can really build support for our policies in this this builds on the speech of the president gave at the u.n. general assembly speaking about sovereignty and he spoke about that very passionate passionately but the downside of that is that when we need our allies like in the

case of u.s. policy towards iran where we need to have tough sanctions on iran for negotiations potentially related to nuclear issues and to counter their terrorism support in the region we're going to need allies and they may not be there for us as we need because we're withdrawing from these multilateral flora yeah and supporters of multilateralism both say so what's the point then john of having all these un bodies like the ice age a and these binding international protocols that the americans would just withdraw from meant is this a blatant disregard of the international whatever or and went further and hans american isolationism do you think it is troubling these are international institutions that the united states was present for the creation of in fact the united nations was founded in san francisco california in one nine hundred forty five we we take ownership of the ideas in many respects of these institutions are key which have strengthen american security and the american economy and

international human rights so when we withdraw we weaken these institutions that much of the world looks to for rules of the road and for how to engage in difficult issues and look for some kind of fair arbiter for their disputes and we need to have that strength and we can't run the world unilaterally we need international organizations to support these types of difficult issues and withdrawing by the u.s. does weaken those institutions to ruben thank you very much and they have a talking to out of there. lots more to come here on the news hour including rejected by australia refugees top court to help decide their future. the british prime minister says her way to defend her brags of planning a ruling party's conference. and in support tricked them a modest paris claim the first champions league win.

concern is growing over the safety of prominent saudi journalist jamal khashoggi who's missing in turkey he's been a vocal critic of the kingdom's leadership senior turkish officials believe he's inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. on tuesday jamal khashoggi walked in to this saudi consulate in istanbul to collect proof of his divorce so he could remarry he hasn't been seen since then. we are positive he is still inside and we are waiting with his fiance who is with us here we are staging a sit in here until he is released. once an advisor to the saudi royal family who showed he fell out of favor as he became increasingly vocal in his criticism of crown prince mohammed bin soundman i still see him as a reformer but he used gathering all power within his hand and it would be much beter for him to allow a breeding space for critic for saudi intellectuals for all your active sort of the

media to debate the most important needed transformation going in the country. he left saudi arabia last year as the government began its recent crackdown on dissent arresting clerics intellectuals activists and businessmen in the absence of any reliable information to show he's website now declares he's been arrested but saudi authorities insist he left their consulate but this is the show's most of all is the contradiction in the saddam regime is claims that it is opening up that it is liberalizing we've seen a lot of talk a lot of statements from saudi officials heading in that direction but when you look at the actions of the government government we see something very different the washington post says it's very concerned about the whereabouts of one of its prominent commentators in a statement the newspaper said it would be unfair an outrageous if he's been

detained for his work and we hope that he's safe and we can hear from him soon jamal let me start with you you've been talking to al jazeera spoke of the changes in saudi arabia it is an important transformation that requires all of us to contribute to it to discuss it and no one should be jailed there is waiting for him outside the saudi consulate in istanbul would agree the stasi tayo al jazeera. well saudi arabia has been cracking down on dissent since mama been sound man took over as crown prince last year eight women have been jailed for campaigning for the right to drive they're still behind bars even after females were legally allowed to drive in june scholars were also targeted public prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against aloud he tweeted last year hinting that saudi arabia should restore ties with its neighbor qatar and several muslim preachers are in jail. he was detained after publishing a three thousand page book attacking the ahmed bin salmond and the ruling family

for their ties to israel calling it a betrayal but david hurst is the editor in chief of middle east he says although he criticizes the government he often supports saudi arabia's policies regime loyalists he certainly regard himself as a loyalist to the saudi state he supported at least initially the war in yemen he believed like many commentators that iran had pushed too far. into the sunni arab world. he supported the death penalty he. he was no liberal commentator about about saudi arabia on on quite a few issues he supported for instance the anti corruption crackdown on least the principle of it if you listen to what he says what he really means is that there should be democracy and there should be buy in to many of the important processes are going away what he's criticizing is the chaos of the leadership not the principle of reform yemen's who the rebels have freed two sons of the former late

president signaling a desire to break the deadlock in the three year long war they both arrived in jordan after oman and the u.n. envoy to yemen martin griffiths negotiated their release they've been detained since december when the rebels killed the father former president. bernard smith has more from neighboring djibouti. releasing the sons of salah could be a concession by the who think he's the u.n. special envoy to yemenis now in abu dhabi he's previously said he wants to start talks between the who think he's on the internationally recognized government of yemen as soon as possible to try and avert the collapse of young men who things have sat in the past the muslim group is a side of the who things have said they are ready to take part in talks so this looks like some sort of goodwill gesture by them but it's the who things do that the southern transition council is threatening to try and attempt again to take

over the institutions of government in southern yemen they want to return to the pre nine hundred ninety seven state of yemen but the s.t.c. has not been invited to take part in talks it wants to be involved in a talks that might take place and that leader is also in abu dhabi at the same time as martin griffiths so this threat this attempt by the s.t.c. to say they're going to take over those institutions in southern yemen and also be an attempt by then to get themselves around the table with the two things an internationally recognized government of yemen all of this piling pressure on that u.n. special envoy martin greetings. yemen's prime minister has called for an economic summit to try and halt the slide of the ryal the country is on the brink of financial collapse and the increases to the prices of goods are worsening the humanitarian crisis. we're getting a look at that we have all the confidence there by the support of the coalition led by saudi arabia we will be able to overcome this economic crisis that has cast heavy shadows on the yemenis we cannot triumph over the who theses and their

iranian allies amid the dire economic conditions many citizens will have no faith in what we say or plan despite our actions on the ground i call on our brothers in the kingdom to streamline the use of the financial deposits granted by them to the central bank in the yemeni businesses i call on all parties including the who thiis to leave the country's resources of oil gas customs and taxes away from the conflict and leave it to the authority of the legitimate government and to deal only with the central banks all forty in aden now at least sixty refugees and migrants are believed to have drowned after their boat was seen sinking of the coast of guinea bissau a coast guard commander told the reuters news agency that he saw a canoe in difficulty but couldn't deploy a boat to help he says wreckage has been found but no bodies refugees from the miners' island detention center presented a petition the new guinea's top court wanted to hand down the judgment for twenty

sixteen ruling that found the australian run center was unlawful the judgment could allow them to seek compensation and the chance to be resettled in other countries let's talk to david marr he's executive director of refugee legal he joins us from melbourne via skype david so hundreds of these refugees and asylum seekers say they want compensation and the ability to travel abroad so how significant is this petition and you think it's going to work. but petition is very significant because it's really based on the fundamental principle and that is that justice delayed is justice denied they've man had pain i think to really forced from a straight it about me guinea and held in extremely inhumane and harmful conditions but five years now by one case in two thousand and sixteen where the highest court in papua new guinea found that they had been unlawfully detained unconstitutionally to time and and now they're stating redress for that and really what they're now

saying is that after all these years of i'm told damage and. held in a in jail young man asylum and they don't want any further the right in that case so why is the p. and g.'s supreme court reluctant to hand down this decision i mean some reports suggest the decision has already actually been made that try one of the lawyers in the case in property guinea a likely biased lawyer has real concerns that the decision might already have been made and judgement not yet delivered it's very difficult to know in these kinds of proceedings precisely what is going on behind the saints in terms of the the the making of the decision but i think what's very important here while we can't speculate on whether this will base excess full what it does to underpin the very point itself and that is that they said man some stages and refugees have brains through such a terrible ordeal suffering and damage want justice and what they're calling for is

something fundamentally fair here and that is that the only receive a judgement but it not be the lad david let's us remind our viewers that the p. and g. supreme court ruled back in twenty sixteen that the australian run camp was unconstitutional and since then there's been numerous appeals and legal arguments so let me ask you will this spin genie ruling finally mean the end of this case that. we don't know because it will depend on the actual decision if the decision goes in favor of the refugees and asylum seekers what it will mean is firstly that they will be compensation for the harm damn the unlawful detention that was found to be a movement two thousand and sixteen the second issue and really the most important the most fundamental of all in addressing the part of these men is that it will provide the opportunity for them to get travel documents which are essential for them to be able to van say resettlement in safety which they cannot achieve in

happening any that's what they ultimately are seeking is resettlement at the refugees in safety so they can rebuild their lives and the point you make about resettlement is interesting because countries like new zealand have repeatedly said they would resettle about one hundred fifty of them on us refugees a year but this has been rejected by the australian government who say this is giving them perhaps a back door to australia so even if the court rules in favor it still doesn't mean the refugees will get to resettle in countries like australia well that's rubble is central to the australian policy is not only bain x. all of these men that to another country when they originally sought asylum in a strata but also a prohibition there is a tug ban on them being able to resettle back in australia that's why they stuck they strongly has also i saw it quite unconscionable e to block the offer by another country new zealand to take one hundred fifty

refugees per year from man a silent and a room where other refugees were exiled that for a number of years now the strength government has sought to block the offer to another country to provide evacuation to safety of these men what these men internet now trying to do is get commission ok travel document provide a third the prospect for the possibility of resettlement ok david mann thank you very much indeed for talking to us. thank you now peru's former president alberto fujimori has been taken to hospital just hours after a court cancel his pardon and ordered his arrest for more he was pardoned by presidential decree last december instead of half of the twenty five year jail term after being convicted of having links to death squads and ordering two massacres he was released on humanitarian grounds due to poor health malaysia's former first lady rossmore mansoor has been arrested and will be charged with corruption on thursday rossmore was detained after being questioned by the anti corruption

pulling out of a sixteen year old treaty with iran after the un's top court ordered washington to ease some sanctions to iran welcome the ruling by the international court of justice but the u.s. says the tribunal as no jurisdiction on the matter. and turkey says the missing saudi critic jamal khashoggi is inside the saudi consulate in istanbul has been so focused on his safety after he entered the building to collect proof of his divorce and went missing. now the british prime minister has defended her brags that strategy and call for unity and upbeat tourism aide told her audience at the conservative party's conference she's not afraid to lead the e.u. without a deal lawrence lee was there and sent us this report all those people who spend their time queuing for the speech might have been forgiven for being a little nervous this was a big moment for their party and their country and their prime minister often looks i'm sure a bit of a robot. so it was to everyone's surprise when sarees m a launched

a cell phone to stage dancing queen the soundtrack all of it designed to offer her a charisma she's often accused of lacking plainly they loved it as well as being relieved last year she was paralyzed by a cough and the sec fell apart behind her doing all this at such an important time in the u.k. took some courage but in the last few years some sort some things changed for the worse i think she then embarks on a speech which painted her as a much softer figure trying to bring together a country at war with itself over leaving the european union but when push came to shove she indicated they would be no more concessions from in the endless negotiation with brussels britain isn't afraid to leave with no deal if we have to thank the zing without introducing terrorists and costly checks at the border would be a bad outcome for the u.k. and the e.u.

it would be tough at first but the resilience and ingenuity of the british people would see us through her friends and her enemies in government will both of found something in all of what she said never mind that she made no mention of every financial warning that the u.k. economy could fold in the event of a hard rexx it this was rhetoric from the trenches of world war one we stand at a pivotal moment in history. it falls to our party to lead our country through it when we come together there is no limit to what we can achieve compared to the robot she's often painted as this was a confidence passionate and at times very personal speech which will have gone down extremely well with the party faithful but opinions are things like british ingenuity and black spirits will do nothing to persuade the european union that she has a new plan if anything what this speech did was to make no deal hard rex's much

more likely the other thing this will be seen to have done at least for now is to shore up her leadership as prime minister but both she and the european union sharpening their knives lawrence lee al jazeera burning in a nato chief's meeting in brussels are demanding russia prove its complying with a cold war treaty on tuesday the us ambassador to nato warned moscow not to develop a new missile system that has more. well what we saw was the nato secretary-general un stoltenberg trying to dispel in a way some of that cold war atmosphere which was felt at nato headquarters on tuesday now that was when the u.s. ambassador to nato kay bailey hutchinson said that unless russia stopped developing a cruise missile and it hit one thousand nine hundred eighty seven treaty between the two countries and the u.s. could consider taking out the missile now that was seen as

a suggestion that the u.s. was ready to carry out a preemptive strikes on this russian missile it angered moscow moscow to hit back the foreign ministry saying that her words were aggressive and dangerous while later she clarified in a tweet that she had been talking about a preemptive strike which had been talking about was the need for russia to adhere to this treaty in today we heard from the install timbered saying that the u.s. ambassador to nato is a words were very clear for him and there is a real importance he said for all nato members the russian adheres to this important treaty because it's a treaty that abolishes medium range weapons for a serious one color russia to comply with the i and they're treating in a transparent and verifiable way they don't do that now because they're not transparent on what to do when they develop a new missile will start in vogue says the issue of the i.n.f. treaty and russians transparency of the issue will be discussed at

a defense ministers meeting here in nato on thursday the us president's been criticized by his own party for mocking a woman who's accused his supreme court nominee of sexual assault at a rally on tuesday donald trump derided christian blazin ford's testimony against alan fischer reports. oh i he has been respectful and disciplined when talking about brett kavanaugh accuser christine blassie fort until he soaked in the atmosphere at a campaign rally in mississippi to the delight of the crowd president donald trump started talking about the woman who says she was sexually assaulted by the supreme court nominee how did you get home i don't remember how you get there i don't remember where is the place i don't remember how many years ago was and i don't know if i was but i had one beer that's the only thing i remember. the president needs republican senate votes to get his nominee over the line his comments seem to have made that job

a little harder and there's there's no time and no place for remarks like that to discuss something with this sensitive at a political rally is just. just not right for somebody the president's comments for it she has really brought forth lawyers who sat by her side during her testimony last week described the president's comments as a vicious vile and so all this attack f.b.i. agents are still pushing on with an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by brett kavanaugh a right wing appeal courts judge slated to fill the vacancy on the supreme court and an appointment which could swing the court's ideological makeup for decades to come. one of his biggest supporters republican lindsey graham was booed by the crowd when he offered his support to the judge and the president at an event in washington i don't like what the president said last night i'm the first person to say i want to hear from dr ford i thought she was handled respectfully i thought

cam and i was treated like crap. yeah yourself and it's the first white house press briefing in almost a month the idea the president was mocking a sexual assault victim was vigorously rejected he was stating facts that were given during dr ford's testimony and the senate has to make a decision based on those facts and whether or not they see judge kavanaugh to be qualified to hold the position on the supreme court the f.b.i. report could be published at any time even though a number of potential witnesses say they've had no contact with agents the republican leadership say they will be pushing for a vote on break covena by the end of the week alan fischer washington russian president vladimir putin has called the form a double agent a traitor and says moscow knew he had cooperated with foreign intelligence agencies after his release in a spy swap. he's just a spy a traitor to the motherland you understand you're such a turn tighter to the motherland well he's one of them. looking like you mean he's

just a scumbag that seat at the moment or a challenge has more from moscow. some context for vladimir putin's comments can be found in a documentary program that was shown on russian t.v. earlier this year now in that putin was asked by an interviewer whether he could forgive and he said yes of course he could but not everything when asked what he couldn't forgive putin's answer was betrayal so that suggests that a script how who have lied to me uproots in has called a traitor to the motherland and scum falls into the brackets of the type of person that putin might not be able to forgive now britain of course is saying this russia had nothing to do with this and on stage he said that the whole script all case was nothing more than an information campaign that had been passed officially

blown up but still this is revealing language being used by the russian president now the south african government is being urged to do more to tackle drug related crime although policing has increased in some areas many say it's not nearly enough al-jazeera is for me the miller went to cape flats in the eastern suburbs of cape town where she met a mother who killed her own son because of his drug addiction. you know you must suck it up but it was in a room in the small courtyard at elland paki's killed her own son by strangling him a.b. was addicted to crystal meth or took as it's known in the cape flats he's addiction began at the age of fourteen and continued for seven years ellen says he used to terrorize the family it was after yet another drug binge that ellen says she was pushed over the edge when i close the front door i saw that all of this when i came without her and then i just wondered to stop with what he was doing you know and

really just standing with it or even just didn't want to do with but this was i put record is together and i put that out but i'm listening inside a home and and shows us where on one occasion her son instant acts to hack through all she says he was looking for money or anything he could sell for his next i know that the worst manipulate me in that way but there wasn't even the point of writing to kill him i just want to stop with at that our level deal is a community plagued by gang violence and home and many others are often caught in the crossfire of gang shootouts the home is riddled with bullet holes so we're now in hanover park just a few kilometers from lavender hill we want to keep a lookout communities like this one drug use and addiction is coupled with gang violence often due to turf wars people here say they're being held hostage in their

own homes unable to move around freely and safely. here to a community troubled by drug addiction the sultan bogs into treats about six hundred addicts every month or two must come here for help to kick her addiction to meth and i first chaos i didn't know where that was coming or going with their i was sleeping or awake because it all felt the same you know you you in the. the world goes on the world will soar but you stole. the center's sees more than eighty percent of opioid addicts in the western cape province but people here say they need more help ellen paki's was given a three year suspended sentence and two hundred eighty hours community service for killing his son which she says she will always regret doing some may say she got of lightly i think that for labor and the people. a film has been made telling ellen story highlighting not only her family's struggle with drug

addiction but also the communities desperation yet a little has changed for ellen she has two other sons who are also addicts she continues to struggle financially she says kept prisoner in a community where drugs poverty and crime are a way of life for me to miller al-jazeera and the cape flats. extreme poverty in parts of brazil has left some potential voters in sunday's election easy prey for politicians looking to buy support lack of basic services and unemployment is rising plus not being able to read and write is a big issue latin america is in asean human reports on the state of us. sixty five year old mother. can't read or write or even sign her name but what she does know is how to work. i started working in tobacco fields when i was nine my father had died and my mother couldn't make ends meet. the story is repeated in
