time for us to take a look at the top stories here at our police in tokyo treating the disappearance of the saudi arabian journalist as a murder case jamal khashoggi disappeared last tuesday after he visited the saudi consulate in istanbul the saudi press agency says. he was killed the the allegations that he was killed there a baseless. brett kavanaugh president trump supreme court pick has been sworn in after a contentious senate vote it follows thirty hours of intense debate for and against the candidate who was subjected to an f.b.i. investigation into sexual assaults a vacation made against him by three women. and voters are heading to the polls in cameroons presidential election president paul beer is seeking a seventh term in office after thirty six years in power the country's borders of being closed in the security forces have been deployed to prevent violence. i'm

voting is underway in both herzegovina and elections that are being seen as a test of national unity. the country is ruled through a complex power sharing system involving three rotating presidents and two regional politics of this long ethnic nine's it's the legacy of a peace deal following a war in the one nine hundred ninety s. in which more than one hundred thousand people died tension remains between the serb also the ak and croatian ethnic groups and the country is struggling with high unemployment we can go live now to sarajevo and our correspondent there david tate is a how does it work how do the the three communities cast their votes and for whom the other voting. martin how long have we got it's the world's most fiendishly complicated electoral process as you said it was created by the dayton agreements that ended the war in one thousand nine hundred five but

essentially we've got three point three million registered voters here we've got something like five hundred eighteen different positions across all the political entities within the country and seven thousand five hundred candidates but the most important one perhaps we should all concentrate on is that rotating presidency divided two imposing x. currents and serbs and i was mocked this campaign is the fact that the president of the republican serbska they serve entity inside the country has been openly using ethnic divisions promoting the name of rather than carriage of course is a convicted war criminal from that from that war in the early ninety's and he's been saying essentially all those running for the president's position that rotating presidency he wants independence for republika serve sca so he's standing for the presidency for a country that he wants to destroy by effectively making of that separate serbska republika. out and independent and of course you got

a lot of support from the russians on that position right so how do the three communities view these elections do they share similar concerns or does each group have a different set of priorities. i think everybody here wants one thing they want to hope for the future they want a properly functioning government the election monitors here saying there's been a record number of what they call irregularities but in fact gross abuses of the electoral process this is including bribery case including corruption case including blackmail trying to get people to vote in the right direction and the job of the jobs that are pending of it yet most of the young people here forty percent unemployment amongst the young what are they looking for they're looking for an escape they want to go to germany they want jobs outside this country because there's simply no employment and too much corruption is run by is a set of tribal political clowns and that hasn't changed and it won't change

these are the latest headlines for us here at al-jazeera inside stories next. the nobel committee has announced the joint with so this year's peace prize denis mukwege and not to move. i'll just zero has been granted exclusive international rights to interview the winners after the awards ceremony here in oslo in december the nobel interview on al-jazeera. sexual violence as a weapon of war this year's nobel peace prize winners are campaigners determined to prevent attacks while the prestigious award provide a much larger platform for survivors of sexual violence this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm a mage i'm joined from the need to movement to the distinguished nobel peace prize more light is being shed on the prevalence of sexual violence in war and peace the un has called gender based violence a global pandemic laura burden manly reports the fight against sexual violence is a weapon of war is being honored by the nobel committee joint peace prize winners were announced on friday in the region nobel committee has decided to award the nobel peace prize for twenty eighteen to dennis macwhich yeah and. for their efforts to end the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war and conflict. dr mccuaig had treated thousands of victims of

rape in the democratic republic of congo and has repeatedly condemned governments for not doing enough to stop sexual abuse. now the mirage is an iraqi has eady who was attacked by isis fighters and have village north in iraq four years ago she's campaigned for justice ever some. rape in modern day conflict is being seen in many parts of the world. was added to the un's list in april i am a security forces accused of targeting the hindu women and girls. it's not a new phenomenon during the bosnian war more than twenty years ago some estimates put the number of women raped during the conflict as up to fifty thousand and during the nine hundred ninety four genocide in rwanda human rights watch said it may never know how many women were raped it's not just sexual violence in war that's making the headlines football superstar cristiana rinaldo is fighting

allegations that he assaulted a woman in two thousand and nine. bennett. christiane i rebelled i was doing well in regards to the things that are happening this is a guy i've known for three months what i can say is there in his fifteen year career he has demonstrated great professionalism on and off the football pitch sexual assault allegations are also dogging the nominees for the highest court in the u.s. and has divided america hollywood so-called me to movement is said to be a catalyst for empowering many women to tell of their abuses. some offenders that being punished and the people who made them celebrate it for inside story. all right let's go ahead introduce our panel in washington d.c. anthony gambino he is the executive director at dr dennis mccuaig is pansy

foundation in reykjavik by skype susanna circuit she is the director of international policy at physicians for human rights which investigates and documents human rights violations as well as gives voice to survivors and witnesses welcome to you both susanna let me start with you from your perspective what does it mean that dr denis mukwege and not the inward have been awarded the nobel peace prize this year. well it's a phenomenal and wonderful validation of the extraordinary effort that these two very outspoken very courageous witnesses to what really has become or is thought to be an epidemic of sexual violence not only in their respective countries of iraq and the democratic republic of the congo but these two leaders our voices for the tens of thousands really millions of women and girls but also men and boys who are attacked in every continent.

by predators by the powerful by people who are essentially using bodies human bodies as vehicles to exploit territory communities destroy whole peoples or simply exert their authority and their voice from the prize is going to give them a new and expanded platform so that we can really address the problem more tony is this nobel peace prize going to give survivors of sexual violence a much larger platform now worldwide. that is certainly the hope of all of us and of dr mccuaig dr macwhich has been working tirelessly to make sure that the voices of survivors are heard and as susanna said it's not just the congo it's not just the rock as your story said it's myanmar it's colombia

it is women going back to world war two who are still are alive the comfort women so-called from south korea there are women survivors who so much want to tell their story want to be heard and demand justice for the horrible things that have occurred to them in too many countries in too many places for much too long this is in a could you explain to our audience a bit more about the kind of trauma both psychological and physical that survivors of sexual violence go through. yes well certainly rape is a violent physical act and it causes acute and extensive potentially harm to the human body obviously there is physical trauma what dr mcwade he has treated and tens of thousands literally in his clinic and tens of thousands of women in the

congo are some of the extreme physical consequences of sexual violence when weapons are actually inserted into reproductive organs and women are mutilated and they have to have literally surgery for what's known as traumatic fistula there are victims who are exposed to sexually transmitted diseases of course pregnancy can result forced pregnancy as a result of these crimes and then there is and there are beatings that it's a violent act so women also have scars less rishon they can be tied up they can. be injured with knives and machetes and guns and then on top of that there is the extreme psychological trauma. that results in fear humiliation depression. victims can have nightmares and on top of that

there's a social stigma so many survivors that i've interacted with in the democratic republic of the congo and iraq and my colleagues in bangladesh with the rohingya survivors they are literally ostracized from their homes sometimes so the recovery involves. physical care mental health support social support it's really what the doctor mcluckie has developed as a holistic model and they need justice access to the courts being able to tell their story and see the perpetrators prosecuted. when proven convicted so that the impunity that surrounds these crimes does not continue many survivors in the d.r. see and i'll swear returned to their homes and villages where they were attacked only to have it happen again that is absolutely unacceptable all right let's take

a step back for a second the un special representative on sexual violence in conflict recently told the security council that sexual violence continues to be employed as a tactic of war a tactic of terrorism and a tool of political repression trafficking of women and girls for the purpose of sexual exploitation continued to be an integral part of the political economy of war and terrorism generating profits for armed groups and thousands of women and children remain imprisoned by armed groups such as eisel and boko haram so tony when it comes to boko haram specifically has the situation improved at all i mean there are so many girls who who are being held that were kidnapped there are many that have been free but there are still many that have not been seen since they were kidnapped how is all that going. the issue in the book or her crisis as well as elsewhere. is that when it has become contained in certain places it is then spread and so of course book of iraq started in nigeria has spread to

news of neighboring countries creating crises for other countries to try to respond and the sexual violence has been part of that as governments which sometimes have difficulty is responding to these issues in more remote areas try to do so they often. respond in a heavy handed manner that can create its own depredations so you have violence upon violence and this is something that. people working on the boat where her own courses have been trying to get a handle on but unfortunately it is still not been brought completely under control this is and i want to go back to something you touched upon a few moments ago in your answer because you you mentioned specifically the revenge of i've been reporting pretty extensively this past year from bangladesh on the plight of the revenge and i have on many occasions interviewed refugee women who

have told me these absolutely terrifying these horrific stories of how they and other members of their community were raped and brutalized of course in the last month you had this u.n. investigative panel that came out with their recommendations saying that they believe that members of unions millet i mean mars military should be charged with crimes of genocide do you think we're any closer to that actually happening to the international criminal court somehow stepping in and prosecuting members of me in mars military for this i wish i could say that we were this a curate a council has been completely paralyzed in terms of referring the situation of me and mar to the international criminal court as you know china not would not support that kind of referral as a essentially. protector of the me and my government and the united states itself under the top administration has. vehemently criticised in a sea of its this court and so in many directions there is not that likelihood

what we have instead is a possible referral through crimes in bangladesh to the criminal court because the genocide committed by the government of me and maher has extended into an across the border yes. tony from from your perch there in d.c. how much do you think the need to movement has as played an inspiration in the nobel committee awarding the peace prize this year to these are snippets well i certainly can't comment on all the things that influenced the nobel committee to make this great choice to the most deserving winners but it's clear that. the set of issues around continuing sexual violence ranging from sexual violence and conflicts which is what dr mccuaig and ponzi has

focused on to continuing sexual assault and sexual violence across various success the society is really everywhere in the world is a problem that has been under reported underappreciated and where the response to often has been woefully bad so across the board whether it's a better response to the crisis of sexual violence and insecurity in the congo. to problems of sexual assault across also thought is of the world we really have to do a better job and it's our great hope that this prize given to these extraordinary people will refocus people on on this and tell us all that we just have to do a better job zanny you just heard tony talk about the fact that you know sexual violence is under reported in this day and age and and frankly you know many people in the world are surprised when they hear the kind of statistics that we are

talking about today just how prevalent still is rape as it is being used as a weapon of war well when you look at the situation in the d.r. see our neighboring such laugh republic as well as we've just been discussing in in myanmar with their hands of crisis this crime is vastly under-reported because these are. extremely difficult crimes to talk about very often the goal is to intimidate and silence. the victims and there is not often in a vironment in which women and girls can safely report what has happened to them the. women and girls had a terrible time in the beginning overcoming the enormous obstacles in their society in their culture in their country to speak out and so the data that we have are really not complete and as we know from even what has happened in the united states

with the extraordinary outpouring of revelations day after day we see that even in societies where there is relative freedom and opportunity to speak out and to make a claim with the police women and girls have taken decades thirty forty years to speak out we just had a major american t.v. reporter a kani chunk describe horrific raped by her own doctor that she had sat on quietly for more than thirty years so it's not surprising that people are shocked when they hear the extent of sexual violence both in peace time and in armed conflict because it's silenced and people are afraid and only when we start seeing prosecutions and women being given the platform the doctor and not even murat have spoken for so powerfully and have brought to the fore are we going to

start to turn the situation around where the perpetrator will be the focus of attention and the survivors will become the powerful all right let's take a look at some sexual violence to to stix a united nations children's fund report last year said that around fifteen million adolescent girls were forced to have sex worldwide unicef. but only one percent of adolescent girls sought professional help and close to seventeen million adult women and thirty eight low and middle income countries reported being forced into sex during their childhoods tony these numbers are truly shocking and appalling what can be done by governments to combat this to try and put it into this well let's start with the most fundamental reality governments exist to protect their citizens that's what we organize ourselves in governments and when governments fail so badly to provide basic protection in in the congo we have seen

baby girls raped as young as eighteen months old and then a lag and bringing the perpetrators to justice when you have governments that are unwilling to respond to these kinds of horrors committed against their own citizens then a much more vigorous international response is required so the things that the u.n. . the things the u.n. are saying that you've been reporting on those are fine but the u.n. and others need to do more we have heard many many beautiful words spoken about the work done by dr mcquary an idea maraud and others we've seen much less action by the relevant governments and relevant international institutions to really effectively respond to this tragedy suzanna you were speaking more specifically about morag a few moments ago and i want to ask you when it comes to to her case

a woman who publicly discloses what happened to her and starts campaigning on behalf of other sexual assault victims how dangerous was that for her to come forward. from the beginning it was incredibly dangerous it was dangerous because she placed blame not only on the isis attackers but also called out to the iraqi government to protect the women who had been attacked and enslaved and sexually violated by saul but also because in her own community. women who are no longer virgins are not considered marriageable in the beginning they were ostracized and thanks to her voice and those of other u.c.d.

women there were religious edicts that were overturned and the top religious leaders of the gives the the community embraced and supported these women and girls so that they could return to the shelter of their families however there are now there are still three thousand yazidi women and girls who are missing many believed that some of them were killed some of them have been trafficked even outside of iraq they are calling on the government we are calling on the government to and the international community to find out what has happened to those women to rescue those who can be rescued and then of course to prosecute these crimes as crimes against humanity and in the case of the is he truly a genocide and currently the iraqi government does not have either the laws or the capacity to prosecute the crimes against the busy and other minorities in iraq under their their laws a tony i want to ask you a similar question about dr mccuaig how dangerous has it been for him to be doing

the work that he is doing and to be speaking out dr macwhich is an amazing man for many many reasons. but. one of the most profound is his individual courage here is a man who almost exactly six years ago in october two thousand and twelve survived an assassination attempt with a man who is very close to right next to him shot dead right next to him and dr mccoy good miraculously survived. his children had been held as the assailants waited to make this attack. and it was of course terrifying dr macwhich had left of the congo for a period of a few months and then. in tells the most extraordinarily beautiful story. market women in the congo began to raise funds from selling vegetables small

sale small amounts of money as he says it women the women who just make a few dollars a day to try to raise funds to say we would like you to come back and when dr mcwade heard this he decided i have to return and so it great personal risk he went back exactly to the city where assassins had tried to kill him and he's there today continuing to do is work under great threat we constantly worry about him and his safety and it's extraordinarily important that people like him and as zen is saying is that we're discussing right now the survivors of sexual violence they be given all the possibilities to speak out to be protected to tell their stories and to obtain justice zana you have said in the past that underlying gender discrimination enable sexual violence to occur before

and after conflict and during peace time could you elaborate a bit on that. yes absolutely and actually following on tony's comments about dr craggy i have seen and heard in the democratic republic of the congo how dr mcwade he describes the ways in which women and girls in. his country are actually treated worse than animals in many cases and i've seen it. in the cave those myself where very often the culture is such that men are sitting in front of their homes or along the side street and women are walking on these terribly poor dirt roads with enormous burdens on their best carrying weights three four five times their body weight and they are sent into the fields often alone to farm to collect crops and that is when they are vulnerable to attack and they are also

vastly discriminated against in terms of their their basic activities and roles and rights and scientists and in that climate in that environment and this is not only in the d r c it's that's everywhere where the powerful men rule women can be treated any way all the way up to sexual violence rape and even mass rape in wars and until women again equality rights and to discriminatory policies and laws and practices we will continue to see these kinds of crimes tony we only have about a minute left will all this attention in your opinion ultimately help aid workers and rights groups who try to assist sexual violence survivors. yes but it's up to all of us to do the most we can to get this word out to work with survivors of the they are heard so they are responded to and if we all work harder and take

advantage of this award this wonderful award of the nobel peace prize to these two amazing people then we will succeed in doing a better job against the scourge all right we're going to have to leave it there we've run out of time thanks to both of our guests anthony gambino of the pansy foundation and susanna second with physicians for human rights and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j. inside story for me and the whole team here bye for now.

that he was not on the premises all right jamal israel is our correspondent in istanbul and has been following all of these developments and it sounds very much as they the turkish authorities a pretty confident of what they are claiming. indeed they had remained pretty silent as to what evidence they had higher than the conclusion they had reached in the first few days of. since the disappearance of however it appears that their patience has run out with the saudis to come forth with what was done to the saudi journalist and therefore have begun to give details of what they believe was took place in the saudi consulate as you mentioned there the conclusion that they have reached is that she was killed murdered essentially inside the saudi consulate so they said the fifteen saudi nationals that arrived on

tuesday the same day that went to the consulate it's important to note here martin the dramatic had gone to the consulate four days before that to process the paperwork he was then told by the officials to come back on the tuesday and that's why the officials that i've spoken to al-jazeera here and so i can believe this was a premeditated. murder premeditated crime that was planned for several days before he was given a time to return and when he did return even though he was given assurances by the diplomats here that nothing would happen to him because he had some sort of fear or he had expressed some sort of fear and concern over his well being to his friends and relatives he was given assurances that nothing would happen to him unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case because as i mentioned there the turks say that fifteen saudi nationals came on two different flights to istanbul that the went to the consulate the same time she was there and then they quickly fled or left the charge say that they will be giving it releasing c.c.t.v.

footage other evidence that shows the arrival of these fifteen people that shows the entrance into the consulate and other details of a crime they believe to be a murder crime committed here in turkey and jamal so far we and other media agencies are quoting unnamed source is is the turkish government prepared to come out into the end and publicly declare the evidence that they say they have. why as you can see martin this has been dealt with delicately by turkish authorities in the past few days because of the diplomatic fallout that will undoubtably ensue as a result of this and that's why no official has come out on camera to detail exactly what has taken place the understanding was that i reached from speaking to some of these officials was that they did not want to. create some sort of

diplomatic crisis with saudi arabia there is still good relationships between riyadh and the anchor and therefore were trying to exhaust diplomatic routes to get the saudis to come forth with. the details of what's went down but in the absence of that they've decided to trickle some of the information to come out and that's why we are hearing it through our named sources as you mentioned however there have assured journalists in the within the next day or so they will be releasing all of the evidence they have of what took place all right for now jamal thank you jamal there but we've been speaking to shon he's executive director of the arab center and a friend of. i knew it was going on for you well actually for more than three decades i knew him as a young journalist and as a counselor to the saudi government on many occasions visiting the kingdom which i

used to do quite frequently two or three times a year at least. met with him and his colleagues particularly in the media to learn about the latest developments in the region particularly our focus at that time was on us saudi relationship he was very keen and intelligent smart analysts of that relationship and it was always a pleasure. to see him and to compare notes with him this recent event it was an arab center briefing that he did for us last year in twenty seventeen up on movie to the united states to virginia for protection if you will because he felt threatened back home in saudi arabia and we gave him the opportunity to come and discuss though he sent changes in the kingdom he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing

that type of freedoms needs that type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble well jamal khashoggi was a regular contributor to the washington post and fred hiatt is the director of the post editorial page and he said in a statement if the reports are jamal's met a true it is eight months yes and the unfathomable at jamal walls all as we have is a committed courageous journalist. now to other news i'm brett kavanaugh president from supreme court choices been sworn in after a contentious senate vote senators spent more than thirty hours giving their final testament is for and against the nominee accused to sexual assault as mike hanna reports from washington governor's appointments now cements a conservative five four majority on the court. britta kavanagh has been sworn in as a supreme court justice off to successfully going through the nomination process the
