john roberts seen here swearing trump into office took issue after the president denounced and not the judge who rejected his asylum policy described him as an obama judge referring to his predecessor and response judge roberts said we don't have obama judges or trump judges bush judges or clinton judges what we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their level best to do equal right to those appearing before them or tromp shot back on twitter he said summer chief justice john roberts but you do have obama judges and they have a much different point of view than the people who are charged with the safety of our country it would be great of the ninth circuit was indeed an independent judiciary but if it is why have so many opposing view cases fall there and why are a vast number of those cases overturned please study the numbers they are shocking we need protection and security these rulings are making our country unsafe very dangerous and on wise bruce fein of the former us associate deputy attorney general

and he says trump has picked these sorts of fights in the past. i think it's because this is part of a pattern or you may recall that the president equally was vehement against the district court in the court of appeals when it came to the travel ban saying that they're wrong headed they're stupid they're on qualified and it's just the general nature of his temperament as president to take after the judiciary and i do think try to deal with him on his its rulings you may recall during his campaign he criticized the mexican american judge out in california saying it couldn't possibly be impartial in a case that had come up at least indirectly concerning mr trump because of his mexican american heritage and knowing that trump was adverse to immigration through mexico or otherwise and i think it's that factor plus the fact that the judges like many other institutions are in some sense

a club of fraternity and expected that the chief justice who speaks for the entire body of federal judges would defend them from personal attacks of this sort. still ahead on the bill isn't threatening the nations the united arab emirates sentences the bush academic to life in prison and ups and downs of u.s. stock markets have some costing a one a dollar at the economy. by the springtime influence of a mountain leak. smoke in the wind. hello again welcome back while we are watching what is happening here across the levant because this particular system is going to be affecting much of the region over the next few days here's that mass of clouds is pulling in off the mediterranean and it's going to be bringing some clouds showers to many locations here across the

minister says the kingdom is united around its leadership has rejected a report that some members of the wall family want to block the crown prince from the throne over the murder of john mark the voices news agency is standing by its story. u.s. defense secretary james mattis says saudi arabia and the united arab emirates have seized an offensive around the. city of data earlier the u.n. special envoy met with the rebel leaders who've been fighting to hold on to the city. and the president has faced off with the supreme court chief justice in a dispute over the independence of america's judiciary john roberts. swearing trump into office after the president announced another judge rejected his asylum policy the british foreign secretary has warned of serious diplomatic consequences for the u.a.e. after it sentenced a brochure citizen to life in prison thirty one year old matthew hedges has been convicted of spying for the british government which he denies when and reports.

thirty one year old matthew had his was arrested at dubai airport at the end of a two week research trip as part of his ph d. on the country's security policies last month a court in abu dhabi granted him conditional bail raising hopes he might soon be cleared of all charges but the sentence of life imprisonment is a massive blow to those expectations this only does think that you know it is a very dangerous place in the already known the u.a.e. is dangerous for journalists for activists for any critics of any sort and so now we also know it is absolutely dangerous for academics want to conduct research in the country as well matthew's wife daniella to hard has said in a statement i am in complete shock and i don't know what to do matthew is innocent the british government must take a stand now for matthew they say that the u.a.e. is an ally but the overwhelmingly arbitrary handling of math case indicates

a scarily different reality matthew she said was shaking when he heard the verdict the u.a.e. authorities should feel ashamed for such an obvious injustice. it's only ten days since the british foreign secretary met the crown prince in abu dhabi and personally discussed matthew had his case it seems to have had no impact on the outcome in an indication of the level of concern here at the u.k. foreign office the foreign secretary jeremy hunt first issued a statement expressing his deep shock at the sentence issued on matthew hedges but he then followed it up with a post on social media which said the following matthew hedges news extremely worrying we have seen no evidence to back up the charges against him the f c o will do all we can to get him home and i will meet his wife daniella tomorrow thursday the u.a.e. claim to be a friend and ally of the u.k. so there will be serious diplomatic consequences and he finished that tweet with the word unacceptable. and the prime minister is also taking

a close interest and we are of course as he is deeply disappointed and concerned today's verdict and i realize how difficult and distressing this is both for matthew hedges but for also for his family we are raising it with the ambassador for it is of the highest level military procurement deals have long been a central plank of u.k. mideast diplomacy but those links have been strained by the civilian casualties from the u.s. involvement in the war in yemen and by concerns over a clampdown in which counter-terrorism laws are being used to jail political dissidents and human rights activists and indeed anyone who raises concerns or criticisms about the country matthew had his ph d. studies may have led the u.s. authorities to regard him in a similar light but he has repeatedly denied the charges of spying and his supporters insist he is innocent nonetheless his options are dwindling he has thirty days now to appeal against his sentence paul brennan al-jazeera london. yes

stock markets regain some ground after two days of state losses but despite the market volatility consumer confidence and employment are running high and president trump is hoping they stay that way alan fischer reports. it's been a volatile few weeks in america's stock markets dramatic losses partial recoveries millions wiped out of personal retirement funds but all this coming against the backdrop of good economic news consumer confidence in the united states is at its highest level in eighteen years that's good news too for the u.s. economy as retailers are about to start the busiest month of the year add to that unemployment is at its lowest level in almost thirty years corporate profits are up even wages are starting to rise but the stock market problems could be an indication things are not heading in the right direction if you look at stock markets ahead of historical recessions recessions have in the past frequently been

so the preceded by a period of high stock market volatility that idea has been dismissed by the president's chief economic advisor. recession so far in the distance i can see so what could tip the u.s. economy in the wrong direction the president's trade war with china and others over steel could drive costs up for u.s. consumers the president's tax cuts from last year didn't drive business investment the way he hoped and is going to push up the national debt and the u.s. central bank the fed has raised interest rates three times this year to stop the u.s. economy overheating that makes american exports more expensive something the president doesn't like i'd like to see the fed with a lower interest rate i think the rates too high i think we have much more of a fed problem that we have a problem with anyone else what could also store economic growth is a no brick of political uncertainty confidence drives markets a wild twenty twenty presidential campaign could slow things right don't even if they have the fiscal. and economic ability to maybe spend spend more of the time

maybe i think they will be they might be slightly reluctant and that's all it takes if consumers and businesses they were let's wait let's wait a year or two and see what happens the us markets have stumbled before then recover trump has tied himself to the rising stock market claiming he chooses policies are working the recession relation much harder come twenty twenty. washington survivors of record wildfires in the u.s. state of california bracing for a new threat from nature heavy rainfall as much as twenty centimeters is forecast to fall by friday in areas around the town of paradise which has been mostly destroyed in the fires the storm is already adding to the misery of evacuees staying in emergency ten shelters at least eighty three people have died in the fires and hundreds of others a missing. now protests over soaring fuel prices in the french territory of reunion

protesters this is about much more than fuel they're angry at the rising cost of living and poor public services officials introduced a curfew in some parts of reunion to dampen nights of violence french president emanuel mccrum says he'll deploy the military to restore order. we are many initiatives that we've undertaken in our union in the economic sector and local housing policies but on the matter of public order i see clearly asked the government to be inflexible because the scenes we have seen in reunion and elsewhere an acceptable. protest is in reunion have donned the yellow vests worn by demonstrators in france in a show of defiance and solidarity they want the government to drop a planed techs increase in fuel and say they'll maintain their road blocks and protests even if it brings the french territory to a standstill. and down to zero. u.s.

a large extent and these are few indigenous the number is up to fifty fifty two hundred or maybe five hundred that's what the projected number is so big they have shown all the contacts with the outward and they believe isolated on their back and. the government of india tried to have contact missions with these people and those missions were suspended like except for a few instances ben. the outsiders anthropologists would come in closer come to meet these people they could exchange gifts with them and and the standard list accepted those gifts except for a few instances the most of the missions were failure and because of that the entire time that mission be to tried was. suspended and these people remained isolated and the policy of the government who are these people was like we keep our

art would always be an effective second line of defense. to the president to be good at there too was sworn into office the number of artworks highlighting controversial issues continues to grow like the government's war on drugs that has left thousands of filipinos dead. the resurgence of protests art is seen as a response to the growing authoritarianism in the country but artists here tell us finding the moral courage to do so doesn't come easy. it is creative provocative and one that resonates more with ordinary working people and their struggles than the more privileged in society. much of the art is identified with the leftist movement in the country one that's often been at odds

with governments past and present it starts. during the martial law period an artist tries to confess what he feels what he thinks should be seen by the public that challenge us people to feeling. women so representative rights militarization and the displacement of indigenous peoples are just some of the issues artists do the child we from. people who see this art see they recognize the courage needed by the artists to produce and show their work art that aims to mirror society rather than escape it the city has never been more relevant in the country. duggan zero.

we want to hear your thoughts on the movement the play and our conversation today so tweet us or leave a comment in our live you tube shot and you too could be in the stream. in march of two thousand and fifteen students at the university of cape town launched rhodes must fall a movement that not only brought down a statue but sparked a broader discussion on how universities can better reflect a diverse student body and provide wider access to education. three years on a group of students who participated in the maze meant sharing that experiences it was a state of what it says around the world the chance to activism while tackling issues of race class gender and power. we.

are now joined by three co-creators and members of the cast america conrad thank you sam of bono and cesar based on the welcome everyone to the stream it is so good to have you guys here especially because i have seen this production and many of our audience members have as well but even for those who didn't many of them remember the roads must fall movements i want to start here on my laptop with someone from south africa this is i've been asked who says these must fall roads must fall open the rot that lies deep within our society and resulted in clamping down activism so that his take away from this movement that we saw in twenty fifteen for you thank you so tell me about where you were when this movement started do you remember i do remember because i was on the drama campus of u.c. t.v. so we were very separate from the main body of the campus and i remember there was

talk of someone who had the statue and we were very interested in knowing what was happening and i looked at my phone and i saw on twitter and on facebook videos of the sky and all these people standing around the statue and for some reason i was with a few of my friends who were in the play as well and we felt drawn to the situation we face there was a rush of adrenaline we felt this is the moment that we have been waiting for and we abandoned classes. and we went to the brim the building with there was a meeting held and that's where every. it started with people saying ok well you know got to tell us when the statue is going down then we're going to occupy this building and this is the sessile road statue which is on the on the campus of the university of cape town and it was a bucket of poo that was thrown at sessile road statue in the mirror thank you this was an education process to work out what did this guy down the man and some university of cape town students so furious about his presence there. for

a lot of students i think we weren't really aware of what the legacy of sessile john rhodes actually was because it's not really something that you get talked about at high school level so if you actually pursue history into university maybe second or even third year do you really start learning about the actual raw rotter of colonialism as the tweeter had said. so for me it was you know ok people are really reacting to this statue to this moment why don't i know about this what can i do to seek out this knowledge and really the only place that you could get the information was the movement and it was amazing to be part of that moment where it wasn't only as a lot of people thought it was just this like angry bunch of students occupying buildings knocking down things you know being annoying to the staff members there were also film screenings that were held there were lectures with black academics that were held there was information that was passed around to people and it was it

was really like a separate university to the university which was amazing says what was it about this moment why why twenty fifteen why not the year two thousand why not. last year what was it about that particular town i. i think i think you know the stars aligned and three fifty was. unfortunate to be part of the crew of chile fifteen because of a such a big symbol the removal moving of the statue was such a big symbol that you know we had to move the statue so you have to turn fifteen is the yeah you know i don't know why it was three fifteen but it's twenty fifteen and that's when you know. i wanted to bring this this is from who says on twitter that the impact abroad must fault drop greater attention to the existing legacy appraising colonialism in our institutions of how euro centrism

sexism and capitalism still reign of how narratives toward embracing african epistemologies are still just regarded a lot there in two hundred eighty characters and she is just packed in there but break it down for us because in the play for those who do have the chance to go see it you do explain some of their what some people might call microaggression that happened to students whether they actually happen to you or your characters or other people you know help us explain for our audience who's watching at home right now what some of those micro aggressions are what some of that colonialism looks like for a day to day average student i mean it's it's an understanding that we live in a country that has a majority of black people and we go to university with firstly we can't afford to say to cation so majority of poor people in south africa black people and already there is. there's a. something is stopping you from pursuing that education so from

from the entrance already there's an issue then there comes the issue of the material that we're learning the material did not reflect us we constantly have to change ourselves to fit into euro centric ideas of what the actress looked like you know issues with the way we spoke we have eleven different languages in south africa that come with eleven different and even more different accents but our intelligence and our ability to to apply ourselves in class was closely linked to the way we expressed ourselves our history was also not considered when we were doing tasks in class so students who were privileged who had the schools with the libraries we have the parents with the money who could take them around the world and show them you know historical places ahead immediately and students like us who came from a less advantaged background. were constantly playing catch up and basic racism. was it was a lot to handle that we didn't quite understand country in

a black majority country in a majority rival sort of the fury and the passion was there we rooted around see if we can find some new scripts for the twenty fifteen or a couple years ago we found three students and they had two very different opinions so we want to play those two clips for our audience and have a listen have a look and as you can comment on them. i don't feel that you can look at these people only as colonialists all racists a lot of these people. on the statues at least have contributed to would have cost of south africa and the regular if it is positive or negative this is south africa this is always history our history should be remembered as it is the statue symbolizes so much of a destructive violent history and we're here to tell management and the greatest south africa that would tie it is students we are tired of this we're tired of being told transformational have been so we wanted to happen now not in five years

not another talk now is the time. so you had two contrasting opinions you had a white south african who didn't see what the issue was with the statue then you have black south africans is ok now it's time at the same university can you explain how those two co-exist. with great difficulty i think is probably the easiest answer the issue with the south african education system really is that it is comp. segregated in the sense that the predominantly rich white kids will go to high schools and primary schools where you can afford to be nonchalant about things where it's not as much of a struggle you've got easy access to books reading materials the the windows of the school are broken whereas you have majority black and off color students who go to these kinds of high schools and primary schools which are dilapidated so when you get past that matric level you then go into the same institution which causes these

like rifts and differences of opinions which really are university level should be a good thing but for me at least a difference of opinion your opinion shouldn't be my livelihood is less important than yours or like rooted in bigotry which is what the civil john road statue is. movement started i remember i was. i was on the fence about the removal of the statue and i'm from a black school so you know what what thank you sir and i mean are talking about and i'm talking about my school what when they talk about the fact that you you always have to work two times harder i felt that you know. i wasn't taught. math in english i wasn't taught physics in english i was taught in my mother my mother tongue so coming to the city i had to catch up so when when the movement started what got me was that this statue is is just

a symbol of what needs to fall in the in the university and it shows you that. that way people. will be celebrated for it and that's what that's presented and i have to walk past this but it's just the statue and that's a symbol that will remove everything and that's what. i'm going to put that in a. context that sounds incredibly revolutionary about how you describe. in the context of the colonialism that happened to south africa white people will accept. that you see it in america today as well i mean the fact that christopher columbus has an entire holiday that celebrates him where is actually his legacy is of the murder. of native american people and that's i mean that happens with

glorious white men of history in every single country in the world south africa was just happened to be a very important moment in time for us and i think that we can also discount the black lives matter movement because i think that if b.l.m. hadn't happened in the u.s. that roads must form might not have happened in south africa that's that that's a big connection though we are talking about out of production called for i want to see a little excerpt from it and i'm going to pick up in the production where the students have just occupied the brand administration building on the university of cape town's campus and now they discuss in a way forward with regards to the roads must for movement in the penry with all of the students who were at the first protests so here to perform a scene from the four are clear. and. this movement belongs to all of us it belongs to

a whole lot of groups involved with transformation at the university like the trans collective are non-binary i mean that in being black monday the black academics caucus the workers' union the s.r.c. i mean that too when our comrades money through human excrement under statue of rhodes he was at a loss for words about how crap it is for university students at this university in fact throwing some poor in the statue was a one hundred percent articulated it's amazing really how so many people got lit about some cool on a statue but some very hard work was going on around transformation long before he did that. we need to talk about the statue hand guys i'm a little confused doesn't management want the statue to be taken down i mean i'm

just following due process process. in my sister we all know the history of. his statue on our campus climatized us that men never wanted us here. sissel john rhodes i learned about him in my second year african history course it was then that i realize that the history we were learning was not the history of africa but rather the history of how britain and the western powers stole africa and covered it up into little countries with people like livingston little pulled and rolled featuring as heroes you see rose didn't only wrap up the kimberley diamond mines for himself or a couple of his buddies thank you very much he was an arc imperialist who believed one hundred percent in the supreme of the english surveys you know all i learned about africans was how weak we were weak in weaponry trouble influencing how we had

to be civilized by the great christian nations i mean what kind of history is that and they say he donated this land to the university but whose land was it to begin with. guys thank you so much. several what is it like when you are taking elements of your life and putting it on stage for everybody to look into to critique think through that this character is you what's that like so one thing the art does is that it gives you an opportunity to reflect society on itself and the other tools that we were taught in vasa to you know how to create drama how to create how to facilitate a conversation and conversations that unnecessarily easy to be had outside of the black box space so when we created the show we were looking to represent as many people as we cared that we saw within the movement you know so my character who

represents the sport of letting guy who comes into university thinking that ok i'm working so hard and i can easily be filtered into the cricket system but there's a quarter in the cricket sports where there's a limited amount of black people that can play for the national team or the first team right so that also creating and reflecting the movement and solve reflecting society on itself and how it treated the movement gave people a key into understanding why the students were so angry what was happening so like i mean what we're seeing on the desk it's not the. hooligans that are there is thought that goes into a plan of the store that goes into what management sees that the conflict that that management gave the students it's not like the student just went looking we're going to produce we're going to throw poor was that there was conversations that will facilitate really climb out we lose out on

a lot of that yes or no and we wonder about you another monologue and everybody staring daggers at me. thank you thank you normally shared admin really i love power of belief out there and i think it resonate here in this tweet this is rank and file. south african that's their handle they write i think such productions are important in absence of literature because they document the complexity that characterize the movement they operate as a dynamic historical archive one other person writes in really strong words here our producers and i love this tweet and post he says the cast of the fall is absolutely spectacular i was there when road spell and the way they articulate what happened is remarkably accurate all the characters represented what we saw i'm so proud of them i saw it in d.c. far away from home and i literally felt the chains of colonialism fall off of me all over again it was the spiritual performance and experience so as i'm reading the audience for those of you at home i wish you could have seen through a space for you where you got to look at this in wonderment which is how i think

that this person saw your production the chains of colonialism fell off of this person what do you make of some of the reactions you've gotten from audience members who. you know it's different performing at home and performing because when you perform at home you perform for people who are the people who are seeing themselves people who are remembering things that they probably you know. forgot so. it's very refreshing performing for its innocent audiences and seeing how issues resonate and how how similar we really and that at the end of the day. we all just want to be treated like humans who are just going to be treated equally you know that resonates across the world. i'm going to show our audience some pictures that you shared with us so so that they can see that not

only are you performing this that you list this as well i march because africa is all i have in europe is not an option for me look at that face there's no acting going on there but do you remember how you felt i do i was excited i knew that change was going to happen and it was time. i get goosebumps i'm going. to hear. this one i mean this this these are protests photographs i mean they really are that happened kind of by accident so i accidentally ended up leading the march from fees for fees must fall from hitting campus to parliament because i was on the student council for the performers on hitting campus and we realized. the police were stopping the jamming shuttles to allow students to get from upper campus to hitting so they were trying to stop the protest before it even happened and we got three drama students who had called on

campus to form a barricade of cars so that the students who were on hitting with us could march up the highway stop traffic get the students off the jammies and go to parliament and so that kind of accidentally got on top of a jeep. to move people around my mom was very unimpressive. so all of you i want to share this comment from joshua graves a student at the university of maryland baltimore county and this is what he told the stream. i just want to share three main points really quickly the first is that i want to congratulate the cast and creators of this amazing play because they were able to use only concepts and ideas and conventions so well that they were able to really tell about hearts of all the audience members in this now moves on to my second point that they were able to make me cry through their emotions through their through their use of pathans to their their embodiment of their character and i think that character development is something that was very much in for science

in this clinic i think they was well executed now moving on to my third point which is that this play was amusing for conversation starters it sparked up a conversation and a very important i think that i'm gage in so many conversations that were very impactful in powerful in meaningful and i think that i heard so many around me that were like what. give me a little taste of what joshua experience when he went to see the four i want to show you another x. that perform life on the strain so well in the production the statue of rose is being removed from the university grounds that's a people arrive to see the monument being taken down to perform one more time it's a cost of the form. or. to be a time again. at last the crane lifts the statue and there's

a cost from the crowd everything slows down roads is suspended in the air and then he swings a few inches above the plane like his not sure if he should get off or not it's like his ghost is fighting back trying to make him topple over and caress our blackboard is one more time but then his core. he is finally gone i feel as of our land has just arrived in a science of relief a space to breathe at last. as that statue lands on the flip it struck i see the look of our face and saw a jump on the truck and i give him six lessons with my belt.

yeah. rolls for all. the world. his is suspended in the air and continues to wash over us like a salty healing we all pull mild has finally arrived the earth shakes and crumble i hear oh mom died or joy or two or three scratch at their coffins from underground i hear the clinking crack and push of the metal gates i hear the slaves who didn't arrive and the singing undemanding i hear i am gone now from across the atlantic but cold of the

people around me read room long to be excited crowd the world foaming at the mouth i hear the ruth pull between prong that. thing is. being with us and solomon's garden is growing. i hear the cameras as i hear eric garner across the atlantic that's just a reminder that eric garner was an african-american man killed by police in new york in twenty fourteen his last words were i can't breathe which became a rallying cry seeking justice for his death the roads must for movement was fueled

administration made while standing by saudis ruelas she had her tons of reports from washington d.c. . even as the saudi foreign minister insisted investigations were ongoing into the death of jamal khashoggi it was clear one possibility was not to be considered but the journalist was killed at the order of the highest levels of the saudi government would have needed me to say that this was an operation that was that went wrong or people exceeded their authorities did something they're not supposed to do we have made it very clear that we're investigating that those who committed this crime will be a prostitute justice and that procedures will be reviewed in which to make sure it doesn't happen again he also dismissed a reuters report that some members of the saudi ruling family wanted to block crown prince mohammed bin salman from assuming the throne he so outrageous comments that are being made are totally unacceptable and the kingdom of saudi arabia is unified on this issue the kingdom of saudi arabia is committed to its leadership the

kingdom of saudi arabia is committed to the vision that our leaders have put forth for us in terms of vision twenty thirty and in terms of moving along the path of reform of the pentagon u.s. defense secretary james mattis discussed the administration's reasons for backing saudi arabia despite calls for accountability for khashoggi is murder on the khashoggi affair he said presidents don't often get the freedom to work with unblemished partners in all things you don't mention the conflict in yemen if you want to end the war you're going to deal with saudi you can't say i'm not going to deal with them a rejection of the policy advocated by an increasing number of members of congress to apply pressure on saudi arabia to end the war by ending the u.s. arms sales upon which its offensive depends matters a statements echoed the doctrine of smiles by donald trump and his statement on tuesday the us is strategic interest supersede all else and argument the received a withering response from the editor of the washington post who published a market share g.'s articles i was astonished even after two years of kind of

astonishing and dismaying things from this president this one was is really almost beyond belief and it's wrong on so many levels. i mean of course it's wrong to excuse the murder of. a journalist. of any human being which he's doing but even a ton of strategic basis you know i mean he seems to see it as well we can't worry about things like morality and human rights because we need saudi arabia but for now the trumpet vilest ration seems impervious to criticism of its explanation of why it won't act against saudi arabia she ever time c.l. jazeera washington or turkey is accusing the us of trying to turn a blind eye to kushal and mocks president translations comments as comical tony but lee has more from istanbul. president donald trump's statement of support for saudi arabia was perhaps no great shock in turkey but there was derision.

yesterday statement is just comical the cia would know not only who killed them but what color the consulate cats were. the turkish government has said nothing officially but privately is angered by the u.s. president ignoring a horrific murder because of economic reasons and there are worries this could lead to other governments abandoning human rights if you have a situation in the united states where you have a leader which is hostile to principles if you have a situation where you have an european union where many leaders who once. defending human rights principles are now indifferent or silent or abuses taking place for example here in turkey or elsewhere i think this is a very. damaging time for human rights principles amnesty has issued a report about how women activists have been tortured and abused in detention in saudi arabia but without the leverage of a powerful country like the us little is likely to change and without u.s.

support it will be difficult for turkey to get answers from saudi arabia about who really ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi turkey's position actually still we need to get an answer or let's say a conclusive answer from this saudi arabia say because most from really. united states the european union. that there will not push this problem in a further turkey this is not just a political economic issue it's also a criminal one a murder has been committed and they want to investigate it and solve it but they say that investigation is being hampered by a lack of saudi cooperation. the turks are demanding details about the day mr kosofsky was murdered they have asked the saudis who if not the crown prince gave the order they want the men accused tried in a turkish court and they want to know where mr remains are but turkey can't force

this alone it has to be an in international investigation under the powers of the un secretary-general. so it has to be an investigation where there is an experienced investigative team with the power to go anywhere they need to go to interview witnesses to interview suspects. only in nice circumstances i think genuine justice be possible. this murder has gone from the realms of a tragic hollywood movie script to a political chess game it may be that with the help of donald trump saudi arabia has the advantage tony berkeley al-jazeera istanbul. well apart from the kushal g. case u.s. defense secretary james mattis has also been discussing the war and yemen is a saudi and the russian forces have again ceased an offensive around the port city of how they their earlier u.n. special envoy to yemen met with the rebel leaders in the capital some are watching
