last month you'll see that the turks the way they've essentially operated or played this i don't want to kind of belittle just the significance of this but the way they've played this essentially has been at every stage they have. leaked something that's been in response to not receiving the seriousness in terms of dealing with this from the international community when you're talking about the old you would we see something possibly if this meeting between trump and early one doesn't go to plan maybe what we see another bit of information being leaked right before that meeting to increase the pressure on the trumpet ministration to rebalance that's relationship between saudi arabia as you mentioned that's also a possibility but one thing that is beyond the realms of possibilities and is just a fact of the matter is that this is not simply the case as we've been saying of aisling journalist this is about rebalancing of geopolitics this is about personal interests and what many people are wondering is will those personal interests

overshadow the plights and the quest for justice or will the turkish authorities who have promised that they will essentially find that justice no matter what the costs will they live up to that promise and that meeting with trump in paris will be a clear indication as to how. successful they are in living up to that promise jamal thanks very much the u.s. undersecretary of state for political affairs david hale says america will continue to push but also values its relationship with saudi arabia. i was respected terry pompei when he traveled to saudi arabia to hear directly from king solomon and the crown prince how saudi arabia would handle the investigation of custodies murder and we ask that the saudi leadership uncover the facts and hold accountable those responsible so far we've seen some positive steps clearly more needs to be done including identifying a number of individuals responsible we are taking strong action in response including revoking visas and reviewing the

police in australia say they are treating an attack in melbourne as a terror incident the center of the city remains on lockdown after one person was killed in a stabbing us i can two of those were injured the lone assassin who was eventually shot by the police officer trying to stab them two hundred not being confirmed that under thomas reports from sydney. just up to four o'clock on a busy off the name in the center of melbourne shopping district a full whale drawing the system only to those on the street watching in horror as a man who had already stopped policies by turns his knife on police officers tried to subdue him with anything to hand one man even pushes a shopping trolley to listen. as he continues to attack someone who want to turn down. and shoots him once in the chest someone has driven a car that fits right on the can my house is full on it was an attack witnessed by

dozens of people. i was just kind of got miles done and all of these police does cars started crowding around us and we couldn't really see anything until we saw a guy running across the tram tracks of backstory and the police running backwards and then we heard a gunshot go off three men was stabbed one dying from his injuries and police have confirmed that the attacker late to died in hospital two from what we know of that individual we are treating this as a terrorism incident. and he's not to kill a smiley in respect to relatives that he has that i certainly question is of interest to us. and a someone that accordingly is known to beis troy police and the federal intelligence saudi. police say the attack a came from somalia in the one nine hundred ninety s.

and previously had only been charged with minor offenses traffic violations and smoking town of ice. investigators say the vehicle who drove down bourke street was filled with barbecue style gas bottles before being set on fire. police say they don't believe there's an ongoing threats but more officers will be deployed events around the city this weekend especially as christmas shopping begins we will not as a city in a state be defined by this act of evil will simply refuse to do that we will go about their business this weekend. and every weekend because we are bigger and stronger than this we will not be defined by this but we're not ignorant to the challenges we face police say they had no information to suggest then thing like this would happen in melbourne on friday but australia's government has been saying for some time that ideologically inspired violence here is likely so while this attack was a shock an attack is not under thomas al jazeera says. russia

is summoning the austrian ambassador in moscow as one of its retired army colonel spied for russia he retired five years ago but is accused of working for the russians since one nine hundred ninety russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says he's unpleasantly surprised by the allegations stop us and has more now from moscow . and again accusations of spying directed at russia coming from a european union country this time it's austria austrian chancellor sebastian guth says he has obtained information that a former military officer has been spying for russia for more than twenty years information that was leaked was apparently about weapons systems although the accusations have yet to be confirmed they have already led to diplomatic repercussions for wonder foreign minister karen can i so who is supposed to visit moscow next month has canceled her visit and i salute it's good friends with vladimir putin and they both that it's together at her wedding last august the

other thing is that the high russian official has been summoned in vienna here in moscow the austrian ambassador has been summoned by the foreign ministry foreign minister left has angrily responded to the accusations coming from austria he says they basically violate all good behavior between two nations in the international diplomacy if there are suspicions of spying normally the countries would hold a dialogue between closed door first and he said lately western nations have picked up the habit to shout out loud if these accusations occur without having a conversation first and left office also sad that instead of providing information as requested by the austrian chancellor he will explain to the austrian ambassador how international diplomacy works meanwhile the russian government multilateral peace talks to end the violence in afghanistan and afghan delegation of the group represents the taliban are attending the meeting officials from

a dozen nations were invited yuri bowman is a fellow with the russian international affairs council he joins us live now from moscow your bomb and if you've got the taliban and representatives of the afghan government in the same city probably in the same hotel complex that's a step in the right direction surely. of course it is especially in the case of moscow that has been walled in the in the of government during the cold war was involved militarily in afghanistan so surely that is a very that is a very important step that russia is taking to put itself back on the radar on afghanistan settlement why is russia doing this today. i think it's a few things i think it's sort of a logical extension of russia's role in the wider middle east and its kind of attempts to find a new role for itself and to i think it is obviously dictated by the by the calculations of russia's own security because insecurity in afghanistan has been

again a stand is really affecting russia's own security given the central asia is porous borders with the russian federation but you could never describe russia's involvement with afghanistan historically going back thirty five thirty twenty five years as ever having been anything approaching a success story so why would moscow even consider going near afghanistan again. i think the problem here is that nobody really wants to own the problems of ghana stern at the moment and it feels like there's pressure building up on total asia on russian and feels like the russians really need to get involved especially since they have been engaging the taliban very slowly over the past few years so it is so you know the feeling in moscow is that they've sort of had enough engagement with both parties in afghanistan to finally make that final push and and bring them to the negotiating table in moscow whether it's proximity talks or face to face

discussions what's the central message there for for mr lavrov to the taliban and to the afghan government. well them the message hasn't changed really it's been the same for years it's the message of the need to sit together at the negotiating table a need for the taliban to go away from from the violent methods of waging their war the that is that is a very simple message but therefore there's got to be a builtin quid pro quo which is clearly the afghan government would want and would get peace if that equation was delivered on but the taliban want something else they want to control they want to be in charge. that is true power sharing is actually one of the things that moscow is willing to discuss with both parties and it sees that the taliban really wants to get. a share

of that of that power in afghanistan and that i think is something that really kind of turns the afghan government off because they did not send an official representative of the dentist and government the only sent this high peace council which is a body sort of loosely affiliated with the government so that i think that is a very clear statement from kabul that they are not ready to fully commit to to these talks ok we'll leave it there your bomb and thank you very much for u.n. brokered talks between yemen's warring sides have been pushed back to the end of the year the u.n. is warning yemen is just three months away from a devastating famine with forty million people the risk will food program says is doubling the amount of food aid to try and prevent mass starvation. sri lanka's new government says a vote to resolve the constitutional crisis will not take place when parliament reconvenes next week began when the president sacked as prime minister and replaced him with the opposition leader mahinda rajapaksa an elephant as has more now from

the capital colombo. having said they hold the majority they can prove this in parliament twenty three convene the new government seems to be backtracking saying that the first time the house meets will just be sitting and now they're talking about a new procedure. to show a majority for the newly elected prime minister if one wants to they don't have to be a substantial motion against the prime minister if that's the case. that has to be discussed by the party does all you want to speak against. and. this but this is going to be a hard sell with increasing calls from the international community and here locally for sort of a vote of confidence to be held on the floor of the house speaker in meetings with party leader to try and decide on the agenda for the first session of parliament on

a result more than a million people whether christian or muslim are on the move searching for a safe place to live on the surface this may appear as a conflict about sectarian violence christians against muslims but take a closer look and you'll find deep inequalities between those that control land and those that don't caught in the middle are the people of central african republic trying to rebuild their country brick by brick. holmes for those displaced away from the violence it's an initiative from the norwegian refugee council here both muslims and christians live side by side like how the man who once lived tired of being on the move no longer a refugee in this and then big crisis it is this desire to be part of a community that has brought him back home nicholas hawke al-jazeera cardo central

your creation against the organ in national liberation given the location that you have the fact that it is between or here and the somebody who knows that might suggest that this is a result of the latest contradiction between hamas and the illegal police but it's very difficult here given the history of the region and the way it's been abused as you know. the former president is standing trial as we speak i guess because that's that's the legal process that he's going through will people inevitably but perhaps inaccurately put his name in the frame when it comes to accountability here. so the special police or legal police that we are talking about here don't know which is why and lisi as responsible for these abuses are directly accountable to him they are more yield to him. before he became the president of the unit after he

became the president of egypt he has absolute control so in top of what has taken place since he. started running the police i don't think he's going to skip responsibility in two thousand and eight human rights what you should have comprehensive a court ruling that talks to that have been committed in the interim. the you're going to move forces and believe you police or water consequence of those who want to any use these musgrave's coolant to be part of a systematic attack those of human populations so we're looking at it his old war crimes and crimes against and the money at the center of the congo really works on is there anything good that can come out of this discovery because some people might say well look the new president was a campaigner for human rights before he became president so the country can kind of maybe find closure and move on to a better place. i think this is

a very important development for big difference all these abuses and that's what cities and i think it's also very important for him to be us the country if she takes top of what happened and come to terms with that part so some form of reckoning is absolutely important it is true that the region at the moment has been new president a very comical weary credible president who as a campaigner for human rights as you said i'm the center of the problem and is taking some writing that was there was in terms of transforming vehicles going landscape but i think it is important that a common belief or victims or human rights also cottle's this transformation the government because it's really seriously it will oh thank you very much. female politicians from eighty six countries have gathered in the british parliament to mark one hundred years since women won the right to vote but apart
