arms of how to respond to the challenge posed by various extremists narratives it's not just that that he can love back the entirety of the right wing. has found the blasphemy issue to be one that they can rally around so you'll often find religious parties disagreeing often even ready to kill members of other religious parties over disagreements but when it comes to the issue of blacks that they all become united one this kind of challenge requires a coherent response from the state which which i don't think we're going to see there are something like around four thousand people on death row also have a lot of sentences for blasphemy in pakistan right now is there a problem with the country's blasphemy no one's that needs to be addressed. you know when samantha seed it was the governor of the punjab when he was assassinated in two thousand and eleven when he responded to this question with a very simple you know expression. of his discomfort with the way

that the laws are and the way that the laws are. interpreted and particularly the way that the law can be misused he was he was assassinated and the governor of the biggest province unbox than a province with a population of one hundred ten million being assassinated has had a chilling effect on the ability of pakistanis to debate this issue so the the question about whether the law requires a revisiting is a question that doesn't get debated in box them anymore because the very engaged meant in such a debate could become a cause for somebody to be targeted i think that's really at the heart of the wider challenge that box on faces it's not that a good decision or

a just decision was made by the supreme court today and that must be acknowledged and welcomed the larger challenge is whether or not the resilience and the robustness exists in the political discourse to engage with the religious right wingers who may indeed have legitimate concerns about their relevance in the political discourse but if the only instrument of relevance is to an act of violence and fear then then then that's a conversation that needs to be opened up and that requires the prime minister of the country and the military leadership the the opposition parties to really treat this issue with the seriousness and the sobriety that it deserves and this is a long term. this is not going to be stalled because of one court judge but this issue is not going to be won or lost today but what we're going to see on the streets today is a manifestation of unresolved political issues that need resolution this is

a the it is going to get your thoughts on those that. live and as thank you we're going to move on to indonesia now where divers are confirming whether the fuselage has been found farm and of asia's second worst plane crash site one has detected a long object. thirty meters on the water line air jet disappeared on monday with one hundred eighty nine passengers and crew on board it's hopes that the black box voice and data recorders will be found to pinpoint the cause of the disaster. but. we're not focusing on that particular location to make sure that what we suspected under the water is part of the plane and together with the head of the search and rescue agency in the commander of the first fleet we're going to see the location for ourselves and hopefully as the main body of the plane that we've been looking for well the newly introduced boeing seven three seven jet crashed soon

after take off from jakarta asama been jarvey it has more from the indonesian capital. the authorities are being very careful in saying that they think that it might be the fuselage of the still sending divers we heard a few minutes ago the ministry saying that they're sending more than one hundred divers in various locations to try and look for the fuselage a distant not sure if this is it or it's just another object that they found near ground did hear a ping which the suspect was from the black box they still haven't found yet and they're sending sonar equipment in that area as well but just to give you an idea it's one hundred twenty four thousand nautical miles that they're trying to comb through both with the help of helicopters and forty boats in that area which are looking for this liner jet six hundred ten let me just come out of the truck and to give you an idea of what they've been finding you can see personal belongings a backpack a shoes and various objects have been found which are supposedly from the one

hundred eighty nine people who were on board this flight which crashed just twelve minutes after it took off this is going to be a painstaking process for these people to collect this evidence that we've been hearing from investigators on shore that the body by bags that have been coming in have now amounted to more than two dozen they're beginning the d.n.a. identification of these victims that could take between four to eight days but it is going to be a long process but before we actually find out what actually happened. now four thousand migrants from central america have reached southwest mexico on their march towards the united states they say they're fleeing poverty and gang violence donald trump says there are national threat and has sent five thousand troops to stop them entering the u.s. as john holmes reports from the guatemalan border and these two smaller groups are following. video how the two tier stand with the gangs to leave the.

a very unusual scene in the river the mits can maybe has come out in these dotted along the length of the crafts you can also see vans from migration that are on the mexican bank but all of this designed to persuade people to not cross over the river or if they are to turn themselves into authorities rather than trying to stop them by force the second caravans already crossed into mexico one thousand five hundred people sleeping rough and tough it's going to thirty's under pressure from the u.s. to make sure they go to they try offering shelter and the temporary worker program many of refuse afraid the aim is to send them back in the minority have gone home but scared desperate people only certainly john home and.

a few moments we'll have the weather. and. more. this probably won't be the final word on what was a typhoon it too but nearly that because it's going over the water not be there for another couple days when it went to the philippines yesterday it was rapidly losing force but it had enough strength to do some damage fairly typical sight of taking

downed power lines or taking a parrot to many but if you send a typhoon across the northern philippines it goes across a mountain range because from east to west and lose a lot of its power this took a similar line to court which was much stronger produce an awful lot more rain the rain out of this one about one hundred fifty millimeters isn't as much so we haven't heard of a great deal of damage but the risk of landslides does exist even with this but you can see that the cloud has gone off to the west there's barely a for a here to be honest and so we can still call it a tropical storm no longer a typhoon but how long will be a cool not i don't know the winds are one hundred kilometers per hour so the winds aren't a big problem the waves are still about five beats but they've also becoming less vicious however it will be around for the next two days drifting up towards the food coast very likely so its main risk is to shipping for winds but to land masses for radio the rain itself is likely to be focusing more on taiwan fujian than anywhere else.

red cross and red crescent societies very good to have you with us on al-jazeera thank you for your time so the report actually highlights that there was a lack of funding but even if there was adequate funding that millions would still be left behind tell us more about why that is why it's not just a matter of funding in the you know the united needs unprecedented but you know the coverage of all the people you know is problematic because those you know that hardest to reach in the most vulnerable those you know that we've failed to reach for many reasons you know one is. it is in the most dangerous places where the needs are greatest so security and safety of people including aid workers you know is a what will make you know that we really have to address second we need to prioritize because people are not all equal in terms of their vulnerabilities the

elderly. the disabled women and children do have specific needs you know that we need to prioritize and make sure you know that we also address them in an adequate money thirdly it's about data we have to identify correctly where those people and who they are and that is the reason why the report is you know making a very clear categorization among those were out of sight because we don't see them because of lack of data those that are out of reach because of the access those out of out of loop and out of scope now it's about now to not only satisfy ourselves you know with the average of the number of people who reach but to look further where the needs are greatest and those are the three dually and the report also talks about the importance of working with groups local groups national groups to

address some of these issues and says that only something like three percent of international humanitarian assistance was provided directly to local and national responders last year how do you remedy this. indeed you know in order to better added defy the people and address their needs it is important to work with local actors will speak the language understand the cultural sensitivities and then know the terror very well so we realize over the years that the direct support to those local group was very little and despite all the progress here that have been made we are about three percent even though the world humanitarian summit you know made a commitment you know to reach twenty five percent of direct support still a long way to go in a way and we work with those partners we need to strengthen their capacity and more resources not to flow so we call on all partners aid agencies as well as the

implementors on the ground to pay particular attention to local actors and local option and provide direct resources to them must also be really appreciate your time on this that is the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies secretary-general joining us live from geneva thank you. mel celso dolls revelator react much on his return to the capital to his after he fled juba is back home off the signing of a peace deal last month and ending five years of civil war much as expected to take part in the peace ceremony with his longtime rival president salva kiir. a no wage and diplomat has taking on the negotiations to end the seven year war and syria peterson as the new u.n. special envoy for placing stuff on the mistura and diplomatic editor james bass looks at the difficult part of the stepping into. this is the man chosen to be the

override the u.s. constitution the u.s. constitution as a riddle originally written included permission for slavery and was racist document the us fought a civil war in the nineteenth century and after the civil war there were three amendments passed that radically changed the united states for the better they ended slavery they made sure that every person would be treated equally and they gave all men later amended to all people the right to vote and that amendment process included saying that anyone born in the united states was a citizen the amendment is quite explicit it is quite clear and is not capable of being overridden by a president who's desperate for political gain and to. increase xenophobia and hatred in america this is not something that has gone through that has been vetted and where we have a lot of details that we would basically just have the statement from the president

to the media that doesn't mean it's not it's on serious because it's pretty clear that the president wanted to be asked this question and made sure that he would be asked it so he could break this news he's definitely thinking about it but the exact details that he is in visioning are hard to say but i think the first thing that would happen is the minute that this was published you would see a wide variety of legal actions brought in courts across the country by people defending the constitution and i suspect they would get judges to stay to stop the president's action before it would ever be implemented. a military helicopter has crashed in western afghanistan killing at least twenty five people onboard including a member of the father provincial council the accident is thought to have been caused by bad weather in the other district or the tree spokesman says there were no survivors meanwhile a suicide bomb blast near of largest prison has killed at least six people the

convincing both sides in the yemen civil war there is a cost for not making peace rosalynn jordan al-jazeera washington while at the same event james mass has also addressed the murder of jamal khashoggi saudi journalist was killed inside the kingdom's consulate in istanbul on the second of october the president said we want to get to the bottom we will get to the bottom of it and as you know turkey has. so far provided evidence for every allegation that they have made about what happened and show no one nation control all the information and i spoke to the foreign minister shaadi arabia two days ago. and he said there would be a full investigation turkish media say the saudi chief prosecutor paid a midnight visit to the turkish intelligence agencies office in istanbul was indicating a murderous sounding. meeting on tuesday

a visit to the consulate where the killing took place because officials describe the talks so far as his shame let's go live outside the saudi consulate in istanbul where she was killed so what do we know that came out of the meetings between these two sides. well like you mentioned turkish officials are sources at the prosecutor's office the scribing at this satisfactory and turkish officials are not hiding their frustration and the president himself yesterday saying that someone is playing a game to protect someone and that illogical obstacles are being put in the way of the investigation in order to save someone the president did not name who that someone is but a columnist seen to be close to the president to in his article this morning said that that person is mohamed bin salmen the saudi crown prince the de facto ruler of

saudi arabia so the feeling here is that saudi arabia's top prosecutor came here to find out what turkey has in terms of evidence and not to cooperate they held two meetings at the courthouse and the saudi top prosecutor was supposed to hand in the testimonies of these eighteen men who have been detained in saudi arabia he didn't do that on the first day he did that on the second day and sources at the prosecutor's office told us that those testimonies really didn't add anything to the investigation they're not any closer to know where is a mouthful show she's body is or his body parts and they have been demanding this from from saudi arabia for some time now and the narrative from riyadh is that we gave it to a local collaborator and they got rid of the body and they're still not naming her that local collaborator is so a lot of frustration here that saudi arabia is not here to cooperate but to find out what that turkey has in terms of evidence because what turkey has done really over the past month is put saudi arabia into

a corner forcing it at least to admit that she was killed inside that consulate and the investigation continues doesn't it what next for the. well it is hard to say because the turkish investigators wanted to enter the consul general's residence to check a well to search a well because they weren't able to do that the first time due to a technicality and the saudi arabians are not giving them any access to that to well so there really standing in the way in the way of this investigation slowing down the process and delays but clearly a few days ago we heard the president say we have more evidence and we will show this evidence at the right time that was he referring to that much talked about audio recording which really captures the final moments of her mouth question she is murder inside the consulate they still have not made that public but there have been reports that that audio recording was shared with the cia director when she

was in turkey last week and in turn she shared that with trump so that we're still waiting to see what u.s. the u.s. position is going to be they're weighing their options but everyone is treading carefully here because first of all turkey there is not want its relationship to be ruptured with saudi arabia and of course the u.s. administration and saudi arabia as a strategic ally they don't want the kingdom to be destabilized so they're going to have to try to contain this international crisis where all sides will be satisfied so i don't have bring us the latest there from istanbul thanks. the united nations is calling joining calls for saudi arabia to reveal the whereabouts of jamal khashoggi. the main problem for us globally in the world you seem to me to me and in the case of custody we need troops to stop. to do a finding mission to make sure that we understand what who you happened and that we made but i say we put those who create proposal to the government of saudi out of your base we divide us.
