dane you know we're not sure that it's constitutional to just simply replace your minister in the way that he did or to dissolve the parliament which was why i was able to read this but i think a lot of civil society people academics and sort of constitutional scholars and sri lanka. were really loud and by that development because they see it as democracy working in street law so the country's only been out of a civil conflict. about a decade i think people believe that institutions can work and must work and will work somehow but as for how this is all result i think that's really you know question i think that is what our community thinks this wealthy i get here all in for the tweet he says i'm unsure legislature must be able to find a resolution to this impasse or

a supermajority of parliament will have to decide to dissolve parliament according to the constitution so emily we will have to leave it there for now but of course the story is far from over and we look forward to having you back on from here to fires in the western state of california that continue to burn the death toll is now over fifty and expected to rise this is tony albertson who had to flee her home i was woken up by the fire department outside of her home it was three am and i had got a couple of notices on my phone and within literally me three minutes we were out the door with our cat in hand in our car in a traffic jam flames behind the holes flames in front of us was terrifying i was afraid we might not get out and we just got onto the freeway and headed to the closest evacuation center about fifteen miles away. this time there are about two large active fires burning in california the wolf the fire and camp fire there are

a few others that are mostly contained hundreds of thousands of acres and thousands of homes have burned to the ground and as firefighters battle the blaze as the search for several hundred people missing people has begun so joining us from san francisco we have little jim ali she is co-host and correspondent for. the california report a statewide daily news program and scott mcclean public information officer for california fire thank you both for joining us i'm going to jump straight on to your twitter feed here because you give us real life examples of what it is like to be living in these areas that at risk from being burnt residents of the sunshine assisted living with time and community power dies in the middle preface when the call to evacuate came if you've never been in this situation it must be hard to imagine what happens what is not cool what do you have to do little what do you know about that yeah well i'm pleased to report that all of the people in that syllabi to my knowledge were safe we transported to a facility in a city

a little bit north of county in redding so happy to be able to report that with that picture really gives us a sense of the immediacy of this evacuation how quickly things came together and one of the lines of reporting that we're working on right now is what happened with the notification system here because i'm going to get and when i ask residents of paradise if they ever got a notification from law enforcement none of them have to this point and so i think we're going to be learning more about that process and what happened i asked the sheriff of county this very question and he said that you know people may fail to appreciate just how quickly this fire broke out and how fast it so what you have right now is you know those longer term questions will be answered in the immediate term people are looking for just of one thing and they're. not and i'm trying to imagine what it must be like for me to be told you need to get out how does that

happen scott. you have to understand this fire started about six thirty little before and just garnered momentum and it just kept coming he was throwing spots spot fires out ahead of it which drew the main body that fire in and exponentially gain speed gain speaking speed and when it hit paradise it wasn't just a narrow flame front it was the whole southern border of paradise due to spot fires coming over the river into the town of paradise it's something similar to an area ignition so so many years cut on for almost one time on the south side of paradise horizon a retirement community a wooded community up in the foothills with narrow wood roadways to get those folks out so by time i moved up there an hour or so after it started on the pole this side coming up on the south side of paradise and it was just for a better term it was hell. so i wanted to add some to give some clarity for my

audience because we got a tweet like this that reminds me that not everyone is aware of the beginning the origins of this killer here says i just like to know california is the tenth largest economy in the world i think i speak for a lot of people in asking why these fires are planned for in advance maybe i don't understand but it's not like these are monsoon rains please ask one of your guests a scot i'm going to give that to you do we know how this fire started and the idea that this could be planned for that this is part of wildfire season if you could if you could call it that but you make of that. it's not a season anymore it's wild fires year round or bridge taishan is extremely dry dry it's ever been it's very just thing a bunch of match ticks that are very receptive to fire we had a drought started in two thousand and twelve a very significant drought that has basically hasn't stopped and no matter what moisture we have it's going to take california several years a winter to bring up to that plateau hundred twenty nine million dead trees but the fact going back to the fact to be prepared for her nice is one of those towns that

knew something like this is going to come they prepared for through fuel reduction projects who prescribed burns to put those borders and boundaries around their town they practiced escapes the i believe it was earlier this year or sometime maybe last year they did a press practice emergency in the town of paradise they know how to get everybody out but the fact that this fire it didn't care it just lit the whole town on fire to put a visual out there that once everybody tried to leave at once before you know your towns develop these programs evacuation they're kind of like some cases zones so you kind of build to that but this whole town had to be evacuated million if i can just add you know stuff that is such an important point and that piece of reporting that i just came across recently this notion that paradise was ready for this they

had prepared how many towns do you know that have an evacuation plan it's because they came very close to seeing their town burn down almost ten years ago and my colleagues are right and he's right been reporting on it extensively but one of the things i want to add is having reported on fires in that exact region fifteen years ago you know it's a really different ballgame now and we've talked a bit about this how fire season is no longer fire season it's a year long phenomenon it used to pretty much be over by october and you know. you're up against drought conditions left over from the twenty twelve to twenty seventeen period. it's really become it's odd you know to be cold during fire season when you come home after reporting on it day out there and it really speaks to how. the conditions have changed to climate change and presumably has played a role here and change the dynamic in a way we're just starting to understand and so it's been interesting also seeing

jerry brown on one side talking about climate change you're not hearing federal officials talk about that at all and so it it worries me when you can't agree on a cause how do you come with a come up with a solution and then of course jerry brown being the governor of california i want to share with you a comment from jeff jeff is the deputy director of the national center for disaster preparedness and here's what he told the string when we look at the fires out west i think the first thing that comes forward is of course the heroism of those fighting the fires and putting their lives on the line to help others as well as the tragedy of so many communities disrupted and in some cases completely destroyed it's important to remember that you know we're not looking at a week or two weeks or even a year before these communities recover it's going to be decades it's going to be ten years or more and that's on the best of circumstances so scott how does that journey to recovery even begin well keep in mind i only live twenty miles away down in chico in the valley. my parents used to live in paradise he's nailed it i feel

it's going to take at least twenty years you have to rebuild your own infrastructure your town is gone there's very few structures left standing commercial apartments honed everything there is no town structure so i know folks are already been in together they're coming up with plans and they're going to rebuild they will back and be up and running i'd say probably it's going to take twenty years. i want to share this from you tube kiko says my condolences to the united states citizen suffering from the fires in california thank you to all of the firefighters that's alive on you tube and a big thank you to lilly and scott for joining us for this segment our thoughts at the streamer also with those who've been affected and now the passing of a real life superhero stanley died on monday leaving a large legacy the entire marvel universe i think stan please greatest legacy is his commitments of fandom people may argue about his

relationship with steve ditko or jack kirby but also three of these men everyone aster agree left us a legacy of characters that we've all grown up on and no one will argue that stan it was not about the fans he was at every convention he was always reaching out to fans wherever he went and i think the thing that i want to miss the most is going to look for where he'd make a cameo appearance in a marvel movie he will definitely be messed with us now to discuss the life and legacy of stan lee we have brian cronin a writer at comic book resources you're watching that video and smiling brian why would he smiling i think it's a very very good at description of stanley he really was all about the fans when you are thinking about his life and what he called you to the the worlds of comics and the world of superheroes what would you say was his greatest legacy his greatest gift. him personally i guess i would say right when he

started with jack kirby and all the other artists at marvel in the early sixty's one of the biggest things that they did was to try to make superheroes with feet of clay these were people that we could relate to that were not cut of heart and different like say superman as a great hero. basically when stanley created fantastic four with jack kirby they. were heroes that bickered these were heroes like. i'm so glad you said that because we actually got this comment from you tube so many people actually writing us on you tube about this segment of our show all trafficking says stanley will be remembered for making superheroes that were flawed and closer to reality but he encouraged people to be inclusive in his storytelling so brian going

a little bit geeky right here but if you know the marvel universe you know that so many of the characters are normal people with a twist with something that makes them unique they're not really superheroes from another planet like they might be in another superhero realm i.e. d.c. comics talk to us about that superheroes are flawed certainly spider-man is probably the greatest example of that where he was a teen superhero at a time when the only teen superheroes were sidekick here was a teen who is the hero of the book and not only that his very origin is that he lets a criminal get away the criminal then goes and kill his beloved uncle and he realizes that with great power must also come great responsibility. stanley was really g.d.s. at promoting not just his characters but also himself to the point where you would

think nobody else was involved in creating the marvel universe is that one of the more critical parts of his legacy where people forget or he says everybody else that he works with was that deliberate do you think brian i don't believe. it was deliberate but at the same time you also didn't exactly go out of his way toward other. i mean think about it for the last forty years of marvel comics stanley present at the front of every issue. and he did certainly did not go away from that if people wanted to give him the credit and ignore the others he was willing to go along with. i want to play you a comment from a former stream of gas about we've gotten him a sony about the time that she was on a show that we did about indigenous superhero with an indigenous comics she's a korean writer and filmmaker and here's what she told the story he made him a son am a creature filmmaker and writer from winnipeg manitoba and i was influenced by

stanley through the one nine hundred sixty s. animated spend immense t.v. show and through the sam raimi spider-man films with tobey maguire. i always loved that line from the first spider-man that resonates to the rest of us with great power comes great responsibility i always thought that was such a beautiful line and the home where is he knows how much he meant to a lot of people so she gave us her favorite line her favorite character mine of course is black panther and all of the characters in black panther what is yours who's your favorite character i guess i think spider-man probably is one i wrote an article recently where about. back in sixty nine sixty five esquire interviewed college students and asked who are your heroes and the typical bob dylan everything all the generational talent of the sixty's were certainly common answers but so was

spider-man with one respondent said spider-man is so great because he beset by woes money problems and the question of existence in short he is one of us and you don't get much better than that what i notice when stanley was trending on social media on monday and millions of people were talking about him was he's thoughts about sensual justice that he was talking about past before many other people are talking about and in the realm of comic books and superheroes share some of those stories for this certainly there really was very cognizant of the effect that superhero should have on the idea of social justice one interesting thing that really as we mentioned before about the idea one of his biggest aspects

was interacting with the fans and he would have a monthly column in most of the marvel comics in the late sixty's and he would very often use these columns to talk about the importance of social justice which one stands out for me there's a great both in both and from i guess around sixty eight where he just flat out says how intolerance is wrong bigotry is wrong prejudice is wrong it's a. young audience these are the sort of things that when the stand the man your hero your icon brings you these ideas it's much easier to. stick with your mind. i want to share this keeping on that theme this is peter who says the success of black panther films defines the genius of stanley he cut across cultures and its cause and found devoted readers across borders the world will always remember fondly the genius that was stanley through his timeless work so because he brought

up stanley there and you were just talking about the social justice being a big part of his work i wonder though how different that was for the time because of course in twenty eighteen that does not seem that groundbreaking but can you give us a taste and remind our audience why that was so groundbreaking at the time oh certainly black panther what's fascinating is that when black panther was introduced his basket originally had a cow similar to batman where you could see that his skin was black and back then this tribute sion for marvel was handled. basically throughout the country the small independent distribution chain including lots of places in the sap and so for marvel had. had to actually cover up less cancer space to disguise whether or not he actually was black underneath that. brian thank you so

much for sharing your thoughts about stanleys and legacy we really appreciate your time today take a and i will enjoy this week from my this monkey who says stan was a pioneer and the catalyst of the comic industry he was the first to conceive a fantasy universes that encompass many others and which everyone had a hero so a reminder to our community with that if you have a story you'd like to see on the screen pitch us a.j. string the next time.

it is murder when you throw a fire bomb into someone's home and need sheets off trash you know. not insignificant in the numbers that insignificant ideologically that insignificant even as it crime again. very significant by dictating the governments in the fucked up policy. shalt not kill the radicalized series on al-jazeera. it's. from some roots of the stink bomb that. is the name under which i reported the regulars a regular music is really kind of trip for a very young age to make a profit maker but i feel that. the talks of are just one of the books of all

people known to those that are great in music as the rest of us to be rather than literate especially for getting this kind of all right wing assault on our freedom to oss questions and generally all freedom of expression and people you know are being students teachers activists in their class rights it's nice all of them but it's limited to the number of people on the streets and protest has reached our doorstep soul in which i've always had legs and attempts to contradict something and it's. for the first time leader is from cambodia's camero his regime are found guilty of genocide will be live in the capital phnom penh.

you're watching al jazeera live from. also ahead pressure builds on riyadh over the murder of. u.s. senators introduce a bill. weapons sales to saudi arabia. prime minister it's a reason he defends her draft deal after resignations by two cabinet ministers and al jazeera brings you an exclusive report on russian forces training the army of the central african republic in a forgotten conflict. hello we begin with breaking news out of cambodia where for the first time. have been found guilty of genocide by united nations backed war crimes tribunal. is second in command of the cambodian regime forty years ago. was the head of state prosecutors

argued they were the architects of an ideology that resulted in the deaths of almost two million cambodians let's go live to florence though in hand with the latest so we have a verdict now florence. yes we have a verdict on these two men were charged with committing genocide against two minority groups in cambodia that muslim minority one hundred thousand people died one hundred thousand minority died during the canaries and also twenty thousand vietnamese people so they've been found guilty of genocide against these two minorities additionally they've also been found guilty of crimes against humanity that were committed in parts of cambodia in labor camps in detention sentence and execution grounds down to this is the very first genocide charges and verdict on commuter route c'mere rouge leaders these two men of the most senior surviving members of the community and they're already facing life sentences for crimes

against humanity and today they've also been handed down life sentences for their crimes and to talk a little bit more about this but about this discussion we have here we think the human rights lawyer in cambodia she herself was a survivor of the mir rouge regime she spent time in prison during that time as a child and she lost two parents during back time gary thank you. know this both of you were also a civil party in this trial is this verdict it must have some huge significance for you i was i was a civil party the verdict is really the accumulation of years in years and years of beating we're talking about crimes that were committed forty years ago over forty years ago so you can imagine the verdict is the long suffering of the competent people and i'm wanting to see justice done so the accumulation of many years awaiting so it has significance in that regard in terms of in terms of attempting

to satisfy and as a portion of justice but there have also been criticisms leveled against this tribe you know it's it was set up in two thousand and six twelve years ago they've spent more than three million hundred. in dollars on it and only three people have been convicted. justice is so selective and this is part of the problem with this quote from the very beginning not only is justice extremely selected a selective. it doesn't even represents a didn't it didn't even have the symbolic justice that we were looking for in the leaders and to try to read my rouge leaders when thousands had bloody hands is not comprehensible to anybody in the world in particular to the ken wouldn't victims enhance the amount of associated with this court the costs for components making one hundred dollars a month how is this time prehensile so in terms of justice i mean i'm very critical

of the proceedings of this court now the government has said that it doesn't want the tribe you know to continue hearing other cases what what was your what is your position on that is pure political interference the court started as a political process because it's a negotiation between the united nations and the can work in government so that's understandable that's legitimate but once the court was established the political actors should have withdrew and let the judicial actors come into play that didn't happen it continued to be a political process so you know our prime minister was former khmer rouge so he has every reason to interfere in this court and to narrate or to to make sure that the history of this court will be written that he controls so that is a very concerning element of the whole court in general the documents that that the court will generate and there are generating and who control those documents for a future generations in the writing of history or the rewriting of history that's

a deep concern thank you very much very very saying human rights lawyer cambodia. thank you. u.s. senators are proposing sanctions on saudi arabia over the murder of journalist z. and the war in yemen the bill supported by both republicans and democrats seeks to block arms sales and prevent saudi warplanes from refueling us bases mike hanna reports from washington arrived today to call for an end to the u.s. involvement in the war in yemen while the issue of jamal khashoggi was not on the senate to gender today it was very much on the minds of senators it was the senate that invoked the global mcmeekin ski act in terms of which the sanctions have been imposed and while the move has been welcomed senators on both sides of the aisle insist it does not go far enough. senator rand paul is one of those who insist the

saudi crown prince should be among those sanctioned maintaining muhammad bin solomon at least knew of the murder and probably ordered it he said in a tweet the united states needs to project strength when dealing with saudi arabia putting sanctions on people who are already in jail means nothing these individuals might lose their heads you think they care who are pretending to do something and doing nothing of you echoed by senator bob corker the administration today sent out notice that they were sanctioning seventeen of individuals that were involved hopefully additional steps were made up asked for a level briefing with matters peo and yet asked for the come in assumes we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia us and this from the democrat senator ben cardin i remain concerned that the administration is enabling

the kingdom of saudi arabia in its effort to protect crown prince mohammed bin salman from accountability the u.s. state department describes the saudi announcements up indictments as a good first step implicitly implying that the should not be seen as the end of the process this is a step in the right direction it is an initial investigation finding it is important that those steps continue to be taken toward full accountability we will continue to work diligently to ascertain the facts but congress making very clear it will maintain pressure for stronger action to be taken by the trumpet ministration and introduced in the senate what is called the comprehensive saudi arabia accountability and yemen act the bipartisan legislation demands among other things the suspension of u.s. arms sales as a sanction for both the saudi role in yemen and. murder of jamal khashoggi if possible could face the veto of

a president too strongly opposed to economic moves against saudi arabia but this veto in turn could be overwritten by a two thirds majority vote which with congress in its present angry mood is a real possibility i cannot al-jazeera washington to resume is standing firm as politicians from her conservative party launch a bid to remove her as british prime minister it's in response to her draft of war still to withdraw britain from the european union hardliners say the deal makes too many concessions to the e.u. and violates u.k. sovereignty by treating northern ireland differently from england scotland and wales so the whole reports from london. a prime minister in battled on multiple fronts but one determined to keep fighting i believe with every fiber of my being that the course i have set out is the right one for our country and all our people by the media she was asked if she was in denial about the chances of her breaks

a deal success you're in office but not in power said one journalist if there is a leadership contest will you contest it asked another civilian character and there was little support to be found in parliament broken promises failed to go see asians and abject capitulation to the e.u. it is therefore mathematically impossible to get this deal through the house of bombers the choices lie clear we stand up for the united kingdom the whole of the united kingdom the integrity of the united kingdom or we vote for our vassal state with the breakup of the united are your budgeted to reserve may says she's doing her job and she believes she's doing the right thing for the country draft brags a deal she insists protects jobs and gives the nation back control of its north of its money and of its borders the alternative she warned leaving the e.u. with no deal is

a part of deep and grave uncertainty. but among those who resigned on thursday including two cabinet ministers and those who oppose the prime minister and deal on the right of the conservative party there may soon be sufficient numbers to launch a leadership contest i think the letters will go in but i'm not tired from what we need is a leader who will say to the european union it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union it is impossible to pay thirty nine billion pounds of taxpayers' money for a few promises. to resume a carry zone and briggs it deal in theory at least moves to brussels next week for the approval of e.u. leaders its survival though and indeed hers are not assured john a whole al-jazeera london chaos broke out in sri lanka's parliament after the speaker of the clare the country has no functioning prime minister or cabinets
