a weapon of war the more this prize has a big meaning that although it took time for the world to recognize us the world has started listening to women and not just listening to getting to know the problems that you face understanding our problems is not enough they must realize that when you commit a crime against anyone it's not right both mourad and move quicker the committee said have endured personal risk and cost to combat war crimes and seek justice for victims in a year in which controversy has touched the nobel name itself both with rape allegations against a member of the swedish academy that gives up a literature prize and with calls for me on mars me to understand shooty to be stripped of her peace prize the two winners of the two thousand and eighteen nobel peace prize are likely to be considered anything but controversial. i asked the chairwoman of the nobel committee with a she and her four fellow committee members had decided this year. to play it safe

i ask to be believe that when i make our decision on the monday it will happen alfred nobel's well sometimes our decisions are very controversial sometimes they are not but being not controversial does not reduce the importance of the prize you know would them no. not in a mirror and sister says she couldn't be more proud of her for the. cute question and today we a very happy even if she were not my sister and this had been achieved by any it would still have raised our heads and made us happy any one of us receiving his prize is like shooting a bullet into the enemy's chest therefore today we have a very proud and pleased god willing she will always go forward and defeat the enemy we hope the rest of our women and girls who are still in the hands will be freed soon. lots more still to come on the news hour including. iraq

syria border and. children. are stranded with no future prospects and who's behind the latest attack on the military and democratic republic of congo a region the tours for dozens of groups and it's called an ultimate pay day for the ultimate fighting championship khana mcgregor returns to the sport until they hear that a little bit later. now the president of interpol has been reported missing after traveling to his home country china nobody has been able to get in touch with monk ways since late last month the french police on a investigating the disappearance of french official says he arrived in china or went missing soon after well other prominent figures have gone missing in china recently found to have been under investigation by the authorities these include

the actress found being being she disappeared three months ago and popped up again this week publicly expressing regret for allegedly dodging millions of dollars in taxes chinese billionaire. disappeared from a hong kong hotel in january last year this in submerge he was taken to the mainland during an investigation into the turmoil that affected china's stock market in twenty fifteen and there's also the ongoing case of hong kong bookseller . he was last attained watch traveling to beijing on a train in eastern china brown joins us live now from beijing adrian heads of interpol don't tend to go missing in this way so what's the chinese government been saying about his disappearance. well darren so far the chinese government has said absolutely nothing this case is not being reported in social media any mentions in fact on social media are being deleted the state controlled media t.v. radio newspapers not mentioned there either that is

a reflection of the the sensitivity of this case now the south china morning post which is based in hong kong and has shall we say connections to the chinese government has been offering some interesting information the only information that we've been getting so far during the past twelve hours in fact and it reports that munn returned to china on the twenty six of september and that he was taken away by officials at the airport it's believed he landed to beijing airport and that he was now under investigation and they quote several unnamed officials as the sources for that information we also understand that his family who are in leone which is where interpol has its headquarters and now under police protection after receiving water being called unspecified threats now we don't know where the monk came back to china on his own volition or whether he was summoned to come back here interpol has

issued a statement saying that this is a matter for the french and chinese authorities and are not offering any more comment at this stage they say that in fact interpol is actually run by the secretary general of that organization not by monk the the position of president of interpol which is the position mung held is largely ceremonial also of course he is the first chinese citizen ever to hold up pose down no one could monks disappearance be linked to president xi jinping ongoing anti corruption campaign. well yes it's important we get some context here because the man who was ultimately his boss three years ago joe young kung who was basically the j. edgar hoover of chinese politics was jailed for three years for life for corruption in two thousand and fifteen and another vice president of the public security bureau was jailed in two thousand and sixteen and mung of course was also

a vice president of the public security bureau before he took up his position with interpol so you can see there is a pattern emerging here almost certainly daryn this is to do with politics i think it's possible the mung has found himself on the wrong side of the political divide president xi jinping has been carrying out an anti corruption campaign that began more than six years ago injuring that time more than a million low ranking and high ranking party officials have been detained interesting to note daryn that monks name still appears on the public security website today stating that he's still a vice minister but i think perhaps a clue to the fact that his days were perhaps numbered came in april when his name was removed from a key party committee linked to the public security bureau that was back in april

and so i think that was an indication that perhaps he was in trouble or a danger in brown there in beijing agent thank you no questions are being raised about the future of press freedoms in hong kong after authorities there refused to renew a work visa for us financial times journalist it's a rare decision in a chinese city that takes pride on its freedoms and newspapers asia it is a big somali cerda taught by a pro independence activist at the city's foreign correspondents club in august mallett decided to go ahead with moderating the event despite objections from the hong kong government and china's foreign ministry. it's been a week since the indonesian island of sort of ways he was struck by a magnitude seven point five earthquake that triggered a tsunami the official death toll stands at almost sixteen hundred bodies are still being pulled from the rubble military planes from about twenty countries are flying in with much needed aid and supplies the u.n. has pledged fifty million dollars to the relief effort as wayne hale reports many are sleeping in the open waiting for help. people here escaped the earthquake and

tsunami but the fight for survival goes on in palo parks have become refugee camps for those who have nowhere else to go their houses were destroyed many family members killed. yan and now they use whatever they can find to build shelters while still struggling to comprehend what's happened to them. a lot of my sister was trapped and they're all they managed to get her out but she died my mother in law is still missing. i mean there is some food being given out by our own but it's well short of what's needed there's still a lack of basic supplies around the affected areas including here in the heart of parlors city where people have been camping for a week despite all the money from the indonesian government and all the offers of assistance from foreign governments no one's been able to supply the people here with temporary toilets or adequate shelter and. part of this camp is on the grounds

of the mayor's office those sheltering here say he's only been to see them once when the indonesian president was in town we asked the mayor for an interview but his staff declined the refugees say that grateful for the land to sleep on but they need more help than i ate the fat i can tell you there are some toilets over there but they are full of excrement so i eat only once a day so i don't have to go maybe everyone is ok at the moment but if they don't sort it out we will have disease here some people are waiting for space on military flights out others say they have nowhere to fly to everyone is scared of more earthquakes and wondering when or if they'll be able to go home when hey al jazeera indonesia. thomas joins us live now from palo city under is there any sense of normality returning to pollute just yet. well very very slow same with some of the infrastructure is being restored in the city.

the local government tells us that this is a has been restored to the city well i know from experience that it's very hard to make it on the floor a few hours and then it drops up again some electricity might be restored to the if not yet reliable what is getting much better it's communication with my boat. across most of the city and i think now it's feticide of. most people but as you saw. many many thousands of people are still sleeping in tents or in the open air in part because they're destroyed in part because they are still getting off the shelf. that people are still afraid to go back in damaged buildings on a thirty. five. by six like our culture that. restored through them and they are at the abbey of what really is now of activity. in the distance there a big queue of people looking on that they're being evacuated out of the city and

off still going on and i think you can probably see helicopters as well now bringing in injured people because of the problems that are still a problem if they figure the landslide and we think they will right mable then i can make up this but it's because politics now is that really having been on the ground there i mean now the rescue people are bankrolled there and those helicopters are taking i think. the things that you still think that this. city. now the. right time to thomas then part of the city under thank you. thousands of women and children who were captured along with isolate their defeat in iraq are being kept

in detention facilities these women are from around forty countries human rights watch is urging those nations to repack treat them and hold fair trials where they had direct links with the group al jazeera solomon met some of them on the iraq is syrian border. the children an eye niece or camp in syria tease each other and play like most others their age but because their family members lived in the rifle they're not treated like ordinary children their movements are restricted just like their mothers who are married do i see fighters or supporters. for the ger is among them she was brought to syria by her husband now for the journey her children cannot go home and is here so that he can my husband used to fight in aleppo and he was killed there i saw brought us to a hostel which was run by cool woman one woman even gave birth in a toilet but she wasn't allowed medical help no one could go outside they were not married i married this injured man we need someone to take care of him we decided to flee but the trafficker took us to a kurdish area we were arrested the women in camps come from around forty countries

almost all share similar stories thousands came to live in what i said called its caliphate after the group took control of large parts of syria and iraq but everyone who lived with the group is now seen as an accomplice. this integer says her first husband was killed by the syrian government and she remarried a moroccan man so her three children would be taken care of we have nothing to do in the nicest we don't care about them they are very bad people you know and they put my in prison my husband and one loss in prison and i don't know which prison he is all the time i was looking for him and they told me. just go back to home you are a woman it's forbidden to go i don't you know the reason why they imprison him is just for smoking you are thinking that you are feeling from hell to heaven and you know actually we are in another hell its miserable situation here. some iraqi and syrian women have been sentenced to death for their alleged crimes but rights workers say finding women guilty by association is not

a fair process first and foremost trials should be fair there's no there's no way around that i mean we can start from the assumption that trials will be fair and examined about international rights you have a right to drive anywhere you walk us forces have trained fighters from the syrian democratic force on how to treat prisoners and some of which are under way to repair treat at least some of the women and children it's a difficult situation and very tragic expensive for the children i know a lot of countries have expressed interest in bringing the children back to their country depending on where the fighters are from but right now that problem still needs to be rather than just putting them in a camp but many countries do not want anything to do with the people who lived under rice and rights activists see injustice breeds contempt and instability and the danger from a lack of free trial and indifference from home countries is a continuing cycle of vengeance and not something that groups such as i still have

taken advantage of some of the job they were on the iraq syria border. town for a short break here al-jazeera when we come back to india seals a multi-billion dollar missile deal with russia despite threats of sanctions from the company structure. greek police failed to prevent the killing of a rapper the hands of a hitman from a far right party and in sport to a persona one of those because sponsors voiced their concerns about rape allegations against the football or in spain. from the waves of the sound. to the contours of the east. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast well this hour we're going to start here in china a lot of areas out here towards the east are really not looking too bad for shanghai because come ray is making its way to the north things are going to be getting better for you that means the winds are going to be dropping down and you

venezuelans have already fled to neighboring countries. a great police could have prevented the killing of a rapper at the hands of a hit man from the far right party golden dawn but i failed to do so that's the conclusion of a new forensic report the murder published faces and september twenty third teen ignited weeks of protests and led to the arrest and indictment of all eighteen of golden dawns members of parliament johnson reports. this is the security camera that recorded the arrival of eight police officers on motorcycles on the night of seventeenth september twenty third teen its time code was off so the precise time of the police arrival was unknown police have said they arrived after the killing of rapper. and too late to prevent it i witnesses for the prosecution said the police were present forensic architecture a research unit at goldsmiths university in london has now that question by

matching material from eleven security cameras to precisely time coded police dispatch recordings they corroborated what prosecution witnesses said they were saying from the very beginning that the police was present on the scene and not intervening indeed we found that we found out that they arrived at this thing about five minutes before the murder took place the defense tried to have the analysis thrown out but the courts deemed it admirable we can see. groups of people attacking somebody who is obviously was at the time of the of the stabbing or. policeman. being at the ceiling five to ten meters away the room so the killer passes right through them right in front of the two police officers who stood here evidently hadn't realized what happened because of the stabbing they tried to arrest the victim rather than the killer it's only because told them he'd been

stabbed showed them his wounds and pointed to his killer but the killer was a rest of the tall golden dawn's leader and members of parliament were indicted on charges of running a criminal organization under the guise of a political party and faeces family lawyers say the precise time coding now proves the organized nature of the crime were there with what the video confirms is a simple tiniest arrival of the golden dawn members because we see eight motorcycles with two riders on each and three cars with passages arriving as a convoy all of them turn down the street where faces his friends are except for the killers car which circles the block and then returns to kill face us the video proves the arrival of dawn was coordinated they had a plan which suggests a party conspiracy you can set this up in twenty minutes police won't comment on the new analysis because the trial is ongoing but there is now powerful evidence that this killing was carefully orchestrated and politically motivated and that police were unprepared for violence of this kind jumps out opal us al-jazeera
