2:07 pm
morning in part a surprising part perhaps not a joint award given to dennis mccuaig of the congolese doctor and gynaecologist and more rather a member of the yazidi minority subject to sexual abuse by i still when it attacked and tried to wipe out the minority group in two thousand and four to dennis mccuaig a very well known he's been rumored to have been nominated before for the nobel peace prize of course nominations were never made public so his name was certainly among those with today's possible winners this year he founded the clinic. and has become famous for treating women victims of gang rape and other sexual abuses by rebel forces war torn country democratic republic of congo nadia mourad of course less well known described in this joint witness to help and the victim he the help but she representing the victims so many of them of sexual violence where violence was sexual violence if used as
2:08 pm
a weapon of war you know you're more of one of three thousand kids either women alone who were held as sex slaves and subject to repeated rape gang rape and other forms of abuses the press conference that followed given by barry price i understand that your purse. the nobel committee. seemed to illustrate that people were not entirely taken aback by this when they would have two questions about the b. two movement the nobel committee the nobel foundation rather of course touched by the me to be because of the postponement literature prize this year with one of the swedish academies members accused of sexual improprieties was this in any way to do with the decision to award the prize to those fighting sexual violence and she said well it would be to movement and war crimes are not quite the same thing are they but she said they do have something in common the protection of women encouraging women to come out of the shadows and speak up for themselves but we can now speak to bell kiss who is a senior iraq researcher human rights watch is joining us live now from the
2:09 pm
lebanese capital beirut thank you for talking to us i can only imagine that you must be delighted at the emphasis of the nobel committee has given to the issues surrounding the use he does in the sexual abuse that so many of the women and girls received absolutely i mean this this this recognition is so badly needed you know in iraq also in syria you have thousands and thousands of women who are victim to abuse by isis including sex slavery and other forms of sexual violence these women to date have not seen any day in court have not had access to justice in iraq e courts and they're still waiting so today this is a signal from the nobel peace prize committee that these women should not have to wait any longer and the u.c.d. winning in particular. is one them perhaps the biggest advocate for they suffered brutally didn't they at the hands of eisel in two of the fourteen in
2:10 pm
northern iraq which is where which is one of their homelands where are they now and what sort of a can they say that they live in a relative amount of peace and safety. most of these e.t. community that stayed inside iraq and has not physically left the country is living in northern iraq they're living most families in camp settings these are camps where conditions are getting worse every year as humanitarian aid is diverted to other areas other crises these are also camps where you have dwindling resources for things like psychosocial support psychosocial support is one of the most important ways to help women particularly as you said you see the women who are held by by isis fighters were used as sex slaves and experienced such severe trauma that they're still now years later struggling to process the trauma so it sounds as
2:11 pm
though they have not had a great deal of assistance that also and ultimately is justice for these women who suffered a saloon this brutal way is justice for them out of the question at the moment in iraq you have government authorities that have in prisons thousands perhaps nineteen thousand men and boys that they're prosecuting for isis affiliation for on terrorist charges now these trials which last about ten minutes simply are a session between a judge and the defendant the accused and these people are being charged with this vague allegation of terrorism and not a single case so far that we know of in iraq has proceeded with the prosecution of someone for the specific acts of sexual violence that have been perpetrated you see the women for example have been given no ability to enter the courtroom to have
2:12 pm
their day in court to look their perpetrators in the eye and to hear that perpetrators isis fighters are being punished for what they did specifically to them in terms of sexual abuse by the case willie thank you very much indeed for talking to us live from beirut. trumpeter ministration has accused china of trying to undermine american democracy by meddling in november's midterm elections vice president mike pence says beijing won't a different american president because of washington's tough trade policy is his white house correspondent kimberly. in the very early days of the trumpet ministration the us president rolled out the red carpet to host chinese president xi at his mar-a lago resort. more than eighteen months later that warmth has been replaced by a trade war between beijing and washington and a strong warning by the u.s. vice president mike pence our message to china's rulers is this this president
2:13 pm
will not back down. in a fiery speech pence escalated u.s. rhetoric. broadly blaming china for everything from military aggression in the south china sea to intellectual property theft to advance its global interests chinese security agencies have masterminded the wholesale theft of american technology including cutting edge military blueprints and using their stolen technology the chinese communist party is turning plow shares into swords on a massive scale u.s. media is reporting that includes inserting microchips into servers used by apple and amazon to spy on u.s. companies pence also accused china of religious persecution and human rights abuses cracking down on chinese christians buddhists and imprisoning more than a million muslim weekers in government camps and domestically while the u.s.
2:14 pm
special counsel robert muller continues his probe into russian meddling in the twenty six thousand u.s. election. pence reiterated president trogs claim made last week at the united nations about china and the upcoming elections to put it bluntly. president trump's leadership is working and china wants a different american version. hence accuse china of election meddling in the twenty eight team u.s. mid-term elections and the twenty twenty presidential vote with an elaborate december mation campaign to influence u.s. voters hence the trumpet ministration remains hopeful china will come around until then he says it will continue to address what it calls chinese aggression already there are terror of some place and more than two hundred fifty billion in chinese goods and more at the ready and could be implemented as early as next year kimberley health at al-jazeera the white house well i've been speaking to victor
2:15 pm
gao who's director of china national association of international studies and he says vice president pence his speech was unnecessarily hostile. i think the vice president speech is a declaration of hostility and antagonism against china and from the chinese perspective china treats the united states with decency and respect and it's not china's policy to interfere in any country's domestic elections for example and the united states need to have enough confidence in its own system rather than second guessing what china is doing now probably talking about a new presidency down to the states probably half of the united states population want to have a new president rather than donald trump but it's up to the american people to decide if two years time which was president they will have i think this wide the range of accusations mostly. falsified probably will serve the
2:16 pm
purpose of agitating via american voters or that tom probably believe that he can get more votes for the republican candidates if that is the purpose of china passion it may not succeed over or i hope the american people will know for sure that china is not an enemy of the united states and china deals with the united states with decency and dignity and both the chinese the american people will be better served if friendship and cooperation prevail between the two countries rather than hostility or even confrontation. still to come hear it out is there we're talking again about the united states because it's a nation divided republicans and democrats draw different conclusions from an f.b.i. report on president trump supreme court nominee. well campaigning ends in brazil ahead of sunday's presidential election there are thirteen contenders but it's a two man race.
2:17 pm

2:18 pm
as a break away down here towards china well things are improving we did have a lot of windy conditions particularly over here toward shanghai with that storm system but as we go towards the next couple days as the storm pushes away for shanghai the clouds and the winds will start to ease and down here towards hong kong we're looking quite nice with partly cloudy conditions here on saturday and as we go towards sunday temperatures stay relatively same we're looking at shanghai at twenty six for show at twenty eight in hong kong at thirty but taipei still windy for you with a temperature of twenty six. the consequence of war. ventures and russia he served in the marine corps for one shooting two hundred ninety five that just doesn't go away. for a living out of his truck for the last couple years. he's homeless. follows a group of u.s. army veterans traumatized by war. as they struggle to get their lives back
2:19 pm
shelter. zero. time visit taken to the top stories here and out friday prayers in indonesia been held outdoors off to most were completely destroyed by the nth quake and tsunami last week hundreds of thousands of people are still waiting for food and medicine and sixteen hundred people have died the nobel peace prize is being jointly awarded to congo dr dennis quaid gate and u.c.d. activists not yellow dogs the no wage and committee says it wanted to use this year's award to own a various five hundred sexual violence as
2:20 pm
a weapon of war. the trumpeter ministration has accused china of trying to undermine american democracy vice president mike pence said beijing is using economic and military tolls as well as propaganda his comments come after president trump accuse china of interfering in the upcoming midterm elections. but president trump is urging what he calls rich countries around the world to cough up finances for america's military support at a republican rally in minnesota the president pointed his finger at saudi arabia saying the kingdom security is indebted to washington we defend countries that are very rich don't pay us or they pay us a small percentage take saudi arabia which you say they have some money so we defend. and they pay a small percentage i said excuse me king solomon is my friend do you
2:21 pm
mind paying for the military. their parents or thirty percent i said you mind. the washington post meanwhile has printed a blank column in its newspaper in solidarity with the saudi contributor who went missing in istanbul misaka show he disappeared on tuesday after he entered the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul or saudi arabian officials say he went missing after he left the building but the turkish government say they believe he's still inside. top republicans say there's no hint of misconduct in the f.b.i. report into supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh but senate democrats say the report into sexual assault allegations is incomplete the senate is expected to vote on cavernous confirmation later today bruce fein is a former us associate deputy attorney general and he doesn't think the f.b.i.
2:22 pm
is inquiry was comprehensive enough. the f.b.i. didn't decide the scope of the investigation in the speed that was a director from the white house which obviously has a conflict of interest since they're the ones who have nominated judge kavanaugh and hardly want to see his nomination shipwreck and so is only a few days they didn't even go back to the the prime individuals involved that we saw on t.v. judge kavanagh himself and dr christine ford and asked them and question them about in consistencies conflicts in their statements and during the question and answer period with the senate judiciary committee so i do think it was accelerated and the problem with this situation is that if the democrats get control of one or both houses of congress in november they will be able to reopen the investigation and will be investigating a sitting justice which will be sarm far more wrenching than one who has not got to the high court yet it has happened once previously with justice abe fortas who got to the high court as an associate justice when he was nominated for chief justice
2:23 pm
there on covered some financial irregularities in he was forced to resign but it was very messy and i think that's what's down the road here because of the very very cursory investigation by the f.b.i. that india has signed a controversial new defense steel to buy russian s. four hundred missile systems india went ahead to with the five billion dollars deal despite the threat of u.s. sanctions on countries that trade with russian defense phones the panel says are in tended to punish russia it's an extension of crimea and for its alleged interference in the twenty sixteen us elections the us hit china over sanctions last month over its own sick remains with russia. the un's refugee agency u.n.h.c.r. says it's deeply concerned for the safety and security of seven men who were deported from india back to miramar on thursday the un says the men were denied
2:24 pm
access to lawyers and their applications for asylum were not assessed it says the removals have left thousands of re-injure who live in refugee camps in india worried that they could also be deported hundreds of thousands of or hinder muslims or fled violence in miramar in the past two years most of them seeking shelter in bangladesh. brazil's presidential candidates have been taking part in their final debate before the first round of voting on sunday the election comes at a time of a stuttering economy worsening violent crime and several high profile corruption scandals our correspondent today is a bow reports live from the largest city south power. the last debate before the elections on sunday something that would end the lease he did not want to miss . this i am worried about what is already happening in brazil we need to tackle fascist ideas there is a complex polarization of our society but we can't forget what's been happening in
2:25 pm
brazil over the last few years it's important we vote on sunday so we can keep its democracy. seven of the presidential candidates attended the debate in religion nato the frontrunner former army captain john edwards and nigel skipped the t.v. global citing doctor's orders after being stabbed during a campaign event one month ago instead he gave a recorded interview to t.v. record owned by anyone jellicoe church at the same time that the debate was happening. boy did. you not call me corrupt i have always fought for the union of all brazilians however the leftists divided us the workers' party did not work and they betrayed workers in the country second place candidate for the man the head that was handpicked by jailed former president. has been trying to prove that his party is the solution for brazil. the workers' party has been trying
2:26 pm
to turn things around by posting a video comparing. with adolf hitler but the strategy so far has failed to turn polls around even though there are thirteen candidates this election has become a two man race between j.d. was so not unfair among the other support for most and i think raised in recent days with some analysts say that he could win in the first round ballots and the reasons why are many analysts say brazilians are voting against corruption and against the workers' party whose image has been tarnished by the largest corruption scandal in brazil's history. it can only be explained by the abandonment of the state these are the people who suffered most in brazil's crisis in the last three years with violence unemployment and corruption so maybe they prefer to have a little bit of hope of getting jobs even if that means producing democracy. south
2:27 pm
america's largest democracy is heading to the polls on sunday the results will indicate which path brazil chooses to take that is how will. peru's former president alberto fujimori says if he's also go back to prison he'll die the eighty year old recorded a dramatic message on a mobile phone from his hospital bed in lima on wednesday the supreme court overturned a medical pardon for him and that could mean that he has to go back to jail to service centers for human rights abuses researchers in italy have launched an ambitious search for a new force of nature that could help explain the mystery of what scientists call dark matter the experiment would allow physicists to identify invisible objects in the universe neave barker explains from frost scotty just outside of rome. we live in a world of matter all the things we can see and touch but the best theory of
2:28 pm
reality physicists have only explains a tiny amount four percent of our observable universe at its least national institute of nuclear physics scientists and lord ching an experiment to discover the rest including so-called dark matter it's none certain road to unlocking the secrets of the universe. and this is where it begins with a particle accelerator and a theory we just select off of them are often so fuck you fuck you fuck a beam of positively charged subatomic particles called positrons is fired at a target a diamond away for a tenth of a millimeter thick and this is the divine one mounted on the positive particles smash into the negative electrons of the diamond wafer they produce photons light but every now and again the collision between positrons of electrons could produce a dark potong the invisible twin of ordinary light dark matter we are
2:29 pm
going to have a living in between this huge kid and water that our more normal or is it fair to call this the bridge between the c m b i don't see it the me yes the problem it's it's like nightfall and allows you to see what you see you normally been done for them we allow you to see what is in the dark it's called the positron annihilation into dark matter experiment or part may the short for star wars fans part may also happens to be the dark lord darth vader's consols no coincidence. so how do scientists even know to look for something that they can't see well after studying galaxies they believe that there's a force much stronger than gravity holding those galaxies and all the star systems within them together a dark force. now up and running the experiment will last for several months if successful it could create an entirely new realm of physics much to the delight of
2:30 pm
the scientists very excited and not because then we have a lot of things to do if you for a few days. or really paid our salary for a long time. it's now down to the experts to share their enthusiasm for complex theories with the rest of us as they begin the hunt for a side of reality hidden from view the park out zero proscar to italy. try visiting to look at the top stories hear it out is there a friday prayers in still a ways e have been held outdoors after most were completely destroyed by the earthquake and tsunami last week hundreds of thousands of people are still waiting for food and medicine almost sixteen hundred people have died the winners of this year's nobel peace prize have been announced and also. in the region nobel committee
