don't see how their own india refugees will be willing to go under this particular sort come to end particularly when the un agencies are saying thousands of refugees are still coming into bangladesh and we have spoken to some of these recent attorneys and they said they're still atrocities being committed against them so there is no security environment there to for them to feel confident to go back under this circumstance. well still ahead here on al-jazeera indonesia's second worst plane crash it's recovered as deep sea divers search for the black box flight recorders and living in heavy brazilian voters who are unclear of what the new president might bring them to stay with us. hello whilst much of mainland china is currently drawing there is something coming up fairly obviously from the south it's

involved in drug trafficking was. also not who has promised to fight the crime wave that is killing thousands every year and to reinvigorate brazil's economy for years those who live in the five a less have voted for center left workers' party but it was different this time even though. insulted in the past black people and minorities and could pass laws that would end up hurting the poor he has managed to get involved in favelas like this one the main reason is because he represents change. says that the economy is his main priority. of. the economy lost investors with the crisis but also not a lot about security or corruption but he hasn't talked much about the economy. has promised to liberalize the economy privatized state companies and reduce the deficit he has also said that brazil will be closer to the united states and israel

he's expected to be more aggressive with china but analysts say it won't be easy for him to put into practice many of his campaign promises i would not get me i'm going to be so we've got herself to do whatever trump does because trump. can't quite get china because the united states have had that high deficit in trade balance with china brazil has a very high there was a trade balances so it's not the same in china is a much more important problem for brazil then brazil china it's not like that you have anger towards the political class has helped to win the presidency but even though his violently toric scares many brazil there are those who want their daily lives to change. china's legalize the trade in products made from endangered animals under special circumstances then us from

traverse is a ban on the international trade of tiger bones and rhino horn both are considered to have healing powers in chinese traditional medicine activists are dismayed but the government's defending the move the georgia was only into. some parts from the notice that china state council issued in one thousand nine hundred three about the ban on the trade of tiger and rhino parts do not match the existing law and it did not take into account the legitimate practical needs such as medical and scientific research educational use and cultural exchanges and besides the tiger bones and rhino horns it didn't establish strict regulation on the trade of other tiger and rhino products some of australia's best loved animals are losing their homes as trees are cut down the call of is in crisis as andrew thomas reports now from port stephens. they're one of two animals australia is known for but unlike kangaroos koala numbers of fulling fast cars kill them as do dogs and disease

but the central cause one that lies behind all those threats is human destruction of the places koalas live forcing them closer to people and each other it all comes back to habitat loss if a quality has lost habitat they have to come down search for habitat which then makes them have to cross the road so this is that the boat being hit by cars and attacked by dogs as well north of sydney this small rehabilitation center is about to be transformed into a full koala hospital costing two million dollars the state governments of new south wales will pay for it but that's the same government's a campaign is which is allowing even encouraging the destruction of koala habitat where incredibly appreciative that we're getting this hospital we need this hospital but the laws that allow the habitat clearing and it's give on one hand on the other last year new south wales relaxed laws controlling the amount of land farmers can clear of trees as a result of the new report blank clearing rates have tripled those behind the

report say that if current trends continue while it's could be extinct in the wild in new south wales by twenty fifty it's really shocking and it's certainly within our power to stop but if we don't stop habitat destruction we will be the ones that will save these animals in the in the wild for the last time you south wales environment minister turned down a request for an interview but the state government says old lang clearing laws were too restrictive bombing and development does not need to threaten koalas but this patch of wet and forest north of sydney illustrates the subjective nature of the decisions its own by the education department of the state government which doesn't need it for a school so two years ago sold it to a developer after environmentalist start. petitions and campaigns the state government said it made a mistake and is now trying to buy the land back for more than it was sold one part of government doesn't communicate with the other before any government department

yeah growing today the stream meets a living legend a south african music. i'm femi oke a. we'll hear from d.c. about his music activism and inspirations sinister comments and your questions through twitter and you too. to millions of music fans from see mother is a music icon he has chronicled the lives of people in the apartheid era south africa as well as his hopes for justice and reconciliation post apartheid known simply as the voice in south africa received has released a string the studio albums and thrives as a live artist his performance was one of the highlights of nelson mandela's inauguration in one thousand nine hundred four and musicians such as dave matthews band paul simon and sting have been inspired to work with em. bristly is now in

a major talk or township it's a love letter to the music he heard in his grandmother's bar and the mamelodi township when he was starting out as an artist welcome lovely. i am looking here at the township tour dates october through the beginning of november what is this tour about what's the idea behind it. tall trees celebrating. music from south africa. the music that i grew up listening. specially. because the place where i grew up my grandmother. should be. called the speakeasy you. know entirely legal so we say no. that's right but there has to be quite a lot of people characters coming in and then also musicians and other singing you

know the a capella form of music whatever so that's where i started to be in love with music and they were playing also some of the township music from the vinyl like in the. mountains of queens you know the likes of you must you know also played some of this music here in the states as well as also my minimal camp so it was more to celebrate you and nato should music great artists of south africa. so. for us i mean it's just to remind ourselves but also i want also to money even the youth who are also into music to start to tap you know into the. you know the deal for grandfathers you know the music that was the because of the some of the music also with the subject matter which is really cool and all that and giving message to people but we've got good very tough styles of music from. combat. but the township that's what we're sort of like that happening right now you

mentioned that is where you fell in love with music and i will say their audience is in love with you and they have been since the beginning of your career this is me by here who asks a question that you probably just the answer he says my question to mr everything when are you releasing a new album and what is your biggest dream for now so we know what the new project is it is the township but what was the dream behind that project in answer to any of us question here well also it was a lot braid paid tribute to my grandmother because the album was recorded at my grandmother's place in my melodious where they she been was so. just to sort of led government and this is the first time that something like this was done in london ninety six i played it live led the festival in paris and they build a special venue for me to perform which was called she'd been mamelodi yeah there was also the king and some of the so it's a lot of them but celebrating township music as well so your idea is just

also with this music you know to sort of like really spread the cultural involved evangelism you know i'm looking at a picture looks like your grandma should be in everybody having the k. on my laptop because it looks amazing she looks like quite a woman and i know when you were a youngster you would be the lookout person so she would be selling the business and then you would be looking out. well there's quite a lot of things that was really happening there but also she was a very special woman and i'm very strict you know and then she didn't want me to be exposed quite a lot into the it was kind of silly only when you know she permitted it you know that ok now you can be here and all that and sometimes when the police are coming we all ring the bell you know. coming you know. you know that type of thing where they were but you know she wondered as also to. kids you know

be able to you know you want to go to school and all that not to be exposed to expose quite a lot into what the others are thinking but when it comes to the music and everything whatever the mission of i mean i really had to make sure that i am watching and listening. now you mention the name of a number of great south african names william mccabe or who massa cane or a current south african band who loves working with you the date nothing is bad and you took them to mamelodi your your township where you live right now and you took them there in twenty fourteen and they were surprised what it took for artistry an apartheid era to actually get to play their music and their play a little bit of that interview video that you did with them and the videos called scenes from south africa where the data has been paid tribute to your art and after that with that it's a play a song called untitled have a look at dateline festival. here they had to hide their gatherings to play

music they had to hide and the police also. confiscating their instruments. it's pretty it's it's a pretty intense situation when i mean if i'm sitting here practicing with some of the guys that come over here in the normal sudden police walk in and take all of my stuff thinking that i'm like what are you talking about when you don't when you know it. how can you how can you understand anything it's just so hard to understand anything like that you know just couldn't. the be.

cause lost. a. limb in. the smallest. kids small. kids. could come. a chance. to. find. some of.

the mom stutzman. saw into. the bathtub the a. the b. .

but. still. to come some. scuttle. the sun sand come sunday.

you listening to. live on the stream on al-jazeera english our community is in through all this is climate watching live from south africa on you tube who says this is beautiful clear and goes on to say please read this to him we are proud of you all the way from home in south africa another person writes in on twitter. is a living legend his music continues to talk about social issues here and in the content and because it's so social issues that this person brings up that raises an issue in this tweet this is from becky who says these songs spread across the african continent they spoke of revolutionary revolutionaries in them excuse me about word revolutionaries and the struggle of the natives being persecuted in their own. talk

to us. with this in mind about being a musician during the apartheid era. yeah it was a really quiet. really difficult time. of course having to witness what was really going on while i grew up being a had to have happy kids you know but with nine hundred seventy six came that's when i started realizing what was ninety happening in our school out of questions that was when there was uprising d. so we to the students or so we to you know the language of afrikaans as a medium of oppression but also. the thing whereby you know our people have been segregated because of their tribal you know the internet is so it was decided it is decided it's one must decide and they said no this is wrong we want to want to be one people and then also that you know everything that at this school we have to do like in biology mathematics in afrikaans what about our own language so that

. time the students of south africa tend to the politics of south africa really know the students did that and i was eleven years old and so i started asking question what was really happening this also escalated to mamelodi the way the students in my middle also have to like really support students and. in nineteen eighty-four i saw also that you know they were it was really difficult whereby a lot of caspar's in mamelodi. police armies with horses and other very like giant tanks big tanks you know that the we used to terrorize people who lived in the township there's an easy one just to see why it's terrifies telephone and helicopters as well you know and then what would my mood was the only township in south africa where all this was the point you know the kids bus and the horses and the just and the other was the south african because my memory they were like my

mother was like the most. you know when they were good mumble it is the number of people who also he would pull political in some and left the country to come from a minority and of course we've got solomon mustang you know who was hanged as well . so i've also got a hitler here of you in this is not so long after that this is nine hundred eighty six a year what twenty one at that time in your early twenty's and this is your passport which again speaks to how you couldn't move freely around your own country so what does that mean for your music what happened to your music during that time. well we could call in sort of like really play freely in open places of course here is where most part was playing quite a lot on political platforms political rallies and so on. music was not even sort of like a little played in that ideal you know. that gave the motor is interesting no one

has to like really. because a point there were a time where they were confused to keeping some of our instruments even our i tunes so for me i said well they can take to god and his writings but the point everything that i would it was here they take the papers but they cannot take also because i memorize what i want what i put it in toilet paper. yes there was incidents whereby you know in solitary confinement but there was just the and there's nothing in the just sometimes they put a bible but when you put it they don't put anything you just you know a prison where there was very much understood the smuggle in you know the thing and then. the bridges perform was sort of to me it's a point it was that in my years it's a point it's more about at the pain of separation you know and support it with the people. it's interesting because you talk about the past and i

think that is what is resonating with our audience here the idea that your music today in the present and in the future has this link this very strong link to encourage people to remember their history we got this comment from a poet herself who says you and your work inspired her to become a poet her name is philip by bill years she works at it university and she says ruthie is true voice rang out from mamelodi to sweden and beyond as an african him body is a skillful play between the present moment and the massive sound archive which is his legacy a sound archive which in capsulated the spiritual little and social values of the all this humans on the planet sound archive if you think that there is a danger that might that not enough people are doing that. don't know maybe understand the question a little but i think you know relying on history and bringing up forward to that new generations make sure that they understand it as well definitely definitely we

are still doing that and also even for the young ones so that we just do that and then bring the some kind of a cultural revolution you know to them that they understand who we come from where we are now and where we are going but also i also use the word to that i mean even if we were traveling all over we were spreading the cards are eventually you know so that you know when you're talking culture and all that that it's important for people to be able to be proud of who they are you know and not things being taken from them or they have all whatever they must just be able to bring them out and talk about it freely and all that so we're still doing it and encouraging you know quite a lot of noise in the through to two to two days and then the writers that there must not be afraid to criticize their leaders or criticize their governments. you know musicians. like the way i'm doing isn't for the we're doing it you know we have to like be days watchdogs and then they say things that are not. so many

people want to work with they they want to collaborate with me and i want to tire out audience why because of when you're in a stadium and you're playing your music this is beautiful and it's very mellow what you're playing for us on the stream but when you're in front of a big crowd this is what it looks like let's go back to nelson mandela's and ninetieth birthday havoc. one. thing marty who. really. c. c true. in the making of the book. just to tell you. that this is. going to be did.

and mondello as. you know watching you know what was so moving. and this is why you're called the voice when when did people start quoting the voice and how is that to be called. well i think maybe there's two things here whatever to be called the voice we have to be does to disguise the when the time of day so that you don't use your relating you know some of my other committees change their names and if like maybe like we see they'll change it into and what they have so that's not tricky. like i said it would be. yeah but yeah i was you know the voice because so fill my singing voice and all that but also it's. also by the subject in the method i bring into my music as well. as

a question here for you on you tube. i wonder how he feels about popular music today and i'll extend that out to what do you think about performing artists that if there is enough support for them today. well in this case sort of maybe focus a bit more on the country. whereby ok there is still a lot that needs to be done in terms of getting your support. especially from the culture department and so on one of. those people who can come on and then you know be the voice that we are and then the likes of muscle and the ads needs to be supported because it's very much important the culture plays quite a lot of important role and music in the society so that needs to be supported equally like education and in health you know dude you cannot separate that and you know but this is the problem is that your poor face and whereby they are just

getting you know laws. support and everything one of us so we need to see more support happening in that regard one of the songs that you play on tour and that people love africa. you're going to play that for us at the end of our show but can you explain what it's about what is the sentiment behind south africa well listen to men. in say africa it's a more of it's time to bring in the concept and the philosophy of. i knew you were going to say that which is. the the philosophy that we share you know all of us in the in africa from cape to cairo everywhere we sing it in different languages and all that but it's a way of life. as a limb all over and all that i never thought there was something this kind this is kind this a good enough way to to describe. it's

a trend more than that it's not just the it's. because it's a bold over these kind of. empathy sympathy. forgiveness that. distributions of more knowledge and skills. redistribution of wealth you know while we get you to perform that because this day and age it feels like we need a lot more that in our lives around the world so who say i want you to go and set up where you set up we're going to sing some more nice things about you and then you get a pass out to say africa thank you so much we. set up our community is excited that we are ending with this song this is who on twitter who says my favorite song is say africa it provokes reflection about africa as a continent or produce are exported abroad and imported back to africa to be sold to africa and africa is the exploited land of milk and honey.

a second day of talks with the prosecutor in istanbul the two met on monday but both sides left unhappy at the level of detail each other was providing to ongoing investigations the saudis wanted any audio and video recordings that the turks made in the building behind me at the time of jamal khashoggi is murder the tox refused in exchange the requested the statements of the eighteen people come they being held in saudi arabia in connection with jamal khashoggi as murder to be handed over and then surely the saudis said no but after consulting with senior officials in the saudi government overnight they returned to a second we think on tuesday and handed the documents over. speaking in ankara turkey president said the saudis were doing what they could to protect senior figures linked to the killing to murder although. it is obvious that these eighteen people are involved in this killing you have to shed light on this and you will secondly your foreign minister made a statement but was that we delivered the body to a local cooperator therefore both the saudi foreign minister and other officials

should reveal this local cooperate or on the facts about these eighteen people let us know whoever this person is and we will find them. the chief prosecutor spent more than ninety minutes in the consulate is no scene where the writer was killed but he says continued pressure here in turkey and internationally to reveal what was done with the body alan fischer al-jazeera. has somehow better joining us from istanbul so what does a day's developments has a mean for the investigation quite a significant development in a way or another yesterday was a stalemate the turkish government said it was not satisfied with the meeting between the chief prosecutors from saudi arabia and turkey because they said they got nothing from the side of prosecutor but today events took a new direction with the saudi prosecutor handing over testimonies from the eighteen suspects detained in saudi arabia is that enough is far from enough for

the turkish government and this explains why the president was of the elderly is put more pressure on the saudi a prosecutor saying that he's concerned it could be an attempt to try to provide cover up for anyone involved or implicated in the killing of. now for the turkish government there are three crucial elements that need to be tackled any time soon for them to be able to release their final findings and to make an official indictments it would like to know who was the corporator who took over the. who handled the body over so metal hustles if you want to know who gave the. order to kills about a house at sea and most importantly do would like to get more information about the eighteen suspects in saudi arabia so this explains why we're seeing this the turkish government pushing with more pressure saying that we don't seem to be impressed by the procedure which is conducted so far by the saudi government so as you're saying house in the early one in the turkish government clearly piling up

the pressure on the saudis keeping the pressure but the big question of course still remains where is the body. exactly the way the boss of the remains of the medal are crucial for the turkish investigator and they know that unless the get hold of the remains unless the know exactly who gave the order they won't be able to release their own findings they won't they won't be able to further press ahead with more pressure on the saudi government they do say that they have crucial elements that you would use later if the saudis don't come out openly about some of those details and i think it is boiling down now to the fact that the turkish government is saying that we don't trust the fact that the people who were arrested will be so culprits in the killing of some. they are looking for someone higher up in the hierarchy although the

saudis were there to see a people was sacked by any of the senior adviser to the crown prince will have been so mad that i say to the deputy intelligence chief the saudis so far are saying that no member of the royal family was implicated in the killing of the hostages but i don't think that this narrative is having any echoes here the turkish government thinks that they someone really high up in the hierarchy who was behind the killing of the model house ok has some how about i think you a news just coming in the u.n. human rights chief has called for an international experts to be involved in an independent investigation into disease murder and now a former u.s. national security advisor who was in office during mohamed bin sandman's rise to power has also delivered a scathing assessment of the crown prince that is susan rice and she wrote in the new york times that the young princes almost certain culpability in mr skilling underscores his extreme recklessness and immoral ety while exposing him as

a dangerous and unreliable partner for the united states it should be u.s. policy to sideline the crown prince in order to increase pressure on the royal family to find a steadier replacement let's cross over to kimberly how to joining us from washington d.c. so how much weight to susan rice's comments actually carry. it carries a lot of weight because she is so high profile in terms of the former administration as the national security advisor it just adds and given her position it gives gravitas to to the claims that she is making an academic argument she points out that mohammed bin some of the crown prince in her view has revealed his character long ago despite his best efforts in washington to convince policymakers of otherwise she cites the refusal to limit civilian casualties in the war and yemen the locking up of activists the. downgrading of diplomatic ties with canada over tweets the bizarre kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister and of course the

blockade of qataris all examples of why she believes that with mohamed concealment at the helm making decisions in saudi arabia that saudi arabia is not a reliable partner so in terms of what she's suggesting her suggestions are not new she's asking for an end to or a blocking or halting of the arms sales to saudi arabia terminations of military support for the saudi led coalition in yemen but she also is saying that she thinks that donald trump needs to end his quote infatuation with the crown prince in order to protect u.s. interests kimberly i wonder there's want to be any reaction to what susan rice had to say because. trump was made it clear that he doesn't want to jeopardize any military contacts contracts when it comes to saudi arabia and also america has a very important relationship with the kingdom and it implements the u.s. policies in the region so what can we expect the u.s. to practically do. well there's a bit of

a tug of war going on behind the scenes right now and a new report about just the extent of saudi lobbying in washington in order to steer u.s. interests has just been revealed in the last hour and it really shows just how much saudi money is entrenched in washington politics and why given the overwhelming evidence that has appeared so far with three guard to murder there has been very little action on the part of the u.s. congress what we know from this report is that in fact saudi arabia has been and continues to employ a lobbyist they spend millions of dollars to try and influence decision makers in washington according to the reports of twenty seven million and lobby efforts last year two million alone in recent years just on political campaign contributions and in one instance this report notes that there was a correlation between not only a contact between one of these lobbying firms on behalf of saudi arabia and a member of congress but an immediate same day cash contribution made to that

member of congress so this is the kind of influence that saudi arabia is buying in washington it continues to this day and to answer your question about why nothing is happening so far is that these lobbying firms are right now actively trying to influence members of congress who have come out saying there needs to be sanctions the highest level of the saudi government they're actively in meetings right now trying to prevent that legislation from happening all right kelly all kids thank you and on that report that kimberly was referring to so as the trumpet ministration works with congress to determine a response to these murder saudi it'll all be a sin washington are under greater spotlight the kingdom has pumped millions of dollars to buy influence on capitol hill over the year that's according to the center for international policy last year it says riyadh spent twenty seven million dollars through two dozen lobbying p.r. firms but since a murder at least four of those firms have dumped the kingdom. as

a client its ally the united arab emirates also spends a lot on influence more than twenty million dollars last year while its goal for rival qatar spent more than eighteen million dollars on lobbying and media campaigns and by comparison a variety of pro israel groups including a pac spends more than five million dollars on lobbying just last year let's make to ben freeman he's the director of the foreign influence transparency initiative at the center for international policy which have produced this report and ben is joining us from washington d.c. thanks for speaking to us so the report that you put out just shows just how much money and influence have become entrenched in washington politics tell us first how you collated this information and what surprised you the most from the findings what we did was we took everything that the saudi lobby reported doing in two thousand and seventeen that's every single member of congress that they contacted it's every single media organization that they contacted.
