5:06 am
as they began. they had. towards the beach at. the departure point of the battalion most of the soldiers left east timor back to indonesia right here. and the supply route for them so they kept their main supplies in this little bay. they didn't want anyone to have any profit from those supply so they destroyed everything when they left and it was a group of italians one hundred twenty members who are not allowed to go on the boats but they had to go back to indonesia overland they had to bring back the vehicles so sixty trucks and thirty motorbikes. from here and one in fourteen destroy and kill everything you find on your way.

5:08 am
of september twenty first one thousand nine hundred ninety. three turn to the east timor forced to leave but nervous and scared but what we would fight. for cites from the plane confirmed all worst fears destruction on a scale you could not even have imagined you ready dos also one of the hardest stories would have to cover. at the same time as we had set off on a journey to help the soldiers of battalion seven four five ready themselves for day a departure from lag on a journey of a very different intent. what was to become a very dark day began here with a day that would affect so many families not only in east timor. having
5:09 am
set their base alight with the talian departed towards delhi and began a pattern of violence that would continue for the rest of the day but. it wasn't long before the battalion met their first victims that morning. within ten minutes of leaving the base they came across two men on a motorcycle unfortunate enough to be on the same stretch of road at the same time it says two man were killed here by the indonesian military. twenty first. of succumb to the amber ninety ninety one. and i know these two guys or two brothers their names were gus and. unbeknown to the battalion the actions were witnessed by seeing me up into a. moment and land at a star the sun to keep does make the new birth of the qualities drop but the

when andrea and i boarded the e.b.u. flight bound for east timor on september twenty first one thousand nine hundred ninety two gather with sander to us all dylan and all the other journalists we weren't the only people heading for daily italian seven four five was approaching from the east and coming in the opposite direction from west timor where john swain of the sunday times with american photographer chip piet there were about houses or
5:23 am
shelves of homes there were lots of david on the roads streets very object and security had completely fall apart delhi airport was eerie when we came in at the same time as aircraft that is training in peacekeeping forces the f one building was deserted and partially destroyed were no formalities and all security checks. nor was there any transport and other traditional cried any way. we managed to flag down a cattle truck and i can remember sander standing at the front of the of the tip with his head up above looking down the highway the australian peacekeepers had set up in one of the beachfront hotels and in the early ring didn't steal they'd made a headquarters in the main hotel which is called the tourist my hotel which is also on the beach we didn't want to get involved with the australian army we didn't want to be controlled in any particular way we wanted to. stay independent because we
5:24 am
hadn't flown in with the australian forces we were prevented from entering into that protected hotel and instead walked down the beach from the promise about three hundred meters to where there was a nunnery an abandoned nunnery. andrea and i also took shelter in the town from that day. this is the first time that f. return to one thousand nine hundred nine and it's only partially familiar i've come back to independent east timor many times and i've avoided the nunnery for fourteen years i really very strongly remember how afraid we were when we were staying here that what we thought there would be a lot safer. before we actually went to the lead and we experience when we actually got here. it was very unpredictable very eerie you know to the gunshots fires we didn't we just didn't know we had we had no idea where we had to
5:25 am
look out for. we thought that the indonesians would have left but many of them were still here. but there was no time for fear we were all here to work and that's what we did our story that day was right across the road from the convent where thousands were crammed together on the beach looking for safety going out to interview them i saw this huge collection of. humanity on the beach and went to talk to the refugees and found this young refugee family headed by a sweet young man called i met at a saw. who spoke some english i said well i'd like to use you as an interpreter but we need some transport so they are not there to. cami must see. i see them with so family and they're close to two coming summer some of them see the depth to more. study in my mind i'm.
5:26 am
at the middle of the poem. and we didn't want to go very far we didn't want to go anywhere unsafe particular saw first into the. florindo aroud you had been driving journalists around delhi on the back of his small motorcycle all day as he dropped one of them off at the three smoked sunder was next in line. that other thing was a they said that their beloved is in the band love is about doing so and that's a accolade indeed what that really it without that is any day personally if that were. the chorus everyone because there's a lot of us that i was. getting that without the radio to them oh they must have. that is a zero idea. having sort of earlier than florindo and sander john
5:27 am
and i make lotto in such a ramesses car with some way you had on the same stretch of road. they would be to first meet a battalion in dealing. with them you know just beyond the city limits reading about off among us because. there was this noise of my tracks right. around the corner and there were about thirty or forty. men on motorbikes who longed. for. the pursuit of them up to. one of the first scenes that it was they attacked my driver i want some of them marked i'm up coming in. the last. one of them just took her. i flew and bashed his eye out with the rifle but. i just saw it. coming down his face like. an egg ready just like a break in a can just hang it on that on his cheek but if
5:28 am
a book will do sleep through those who spoke with. there was suspicious very suspicious of him because he was with two west ms i said. i'm in the car and you could to get my paper. goes down. it's. much too moderate. we were ordered back into the vehicle and driver with his eye still hanging out. of it to drive the car down the hill. a mobile they had said. yeah mark good to spear my supper. we would give me some for a beer bottle of. the motorbikes swap them stopped in front of us so we could. not go away we couldn't go any further.
5:29 am
so that i think this is a look at it at those who have come on you know silas up to come on down to let you know so. little medical lot about it be that they're marked out of luck on their mark better luck on those did it ever comes up to the best buddies to do the way you do. i said to chip and to to ramos i said. we've got to get out or dad. lost a lot i haven't lost a load of supper. buttercup them up for the scum. mother could. get well soon move those. bloody blue up manas says look at the luggage i don't mean they can often miss short was you can really look behind me just kept going as fast as we could use. good looking for company. so it was a lot of luck to them but us. least started you. want us to start the rules.
5:30 am
regarding that. we didn't know ramos is gone you know just you know idea where it was safe used to be and. you know he's a nice timorese. and the time he might have brown eyes that he was safe would be only sentinels be to westerners who took this terrible. episode of. john and chip it through didn't i'm sure of what had happened to and it can add to and sanchia. italian in the meantime continue on its bloody route of destruction. if given. that they and i find that this it would be posted two or. more purposes that says that that ad that. they got more thought it through a number and that. will grow around the place to move a leg up and since that. ballot model is on the thing they've got.
5:31 am
to get that process but i've got a lot of americans who got it i did it they did it you know. i thought the mark this more if it is. a given but it is a living that has a. lot of truth truth that they have a lot of nicoletti. in their own in this. it's about the knitting it's in a low that there was a. family of you look at it we said. yes and there's that. but it was a. little something but you need. medical as it. can be and yet he has got a lot of it with them. and not at the rest area last. hello stepper says with a look at him what did the little guy at the lunatic and
5:32 am
a moustache of that obama got that out of a horse i will end up there there might be. a little bit of no idea. battered bruised and bleeding in a rainbow made his way to go to a small town everyone he could not have happened. to heard that santa was missing so it was very confusing. my husband and ray was looking for him next door in a tourist motel while i was still working i had to keep working because i had deadlines and so it was all like really. messed up because we were also really worried about your own safety i mean not much was standing lots of for building still burning you could hear gunshots so it's very very times very eerie situation here. you don't feel learned or we say.
5:33 am
that all night i spent here with my friends with colleagues trying to make phone calls like really you know trying to get through to anyone who would have any news about and. the following morning all dylan was one of the first journalist to find her out of the convent. got him up to me sort of talking he said i know where there's this step for a joke we take you. so there we have this long. thirty thirty minute walk out to the corridor. and then off the left hand side of the road to a small gully looked up almost a driveway was shuttered all. want to side. it was new it was a very unpleasant you know you get used to seeing bodies in repose if you like
5:34 am
almost with a sense of sort of calm. but i didn't get that often i didn't get that sense. i got a sense of reaching. you know. the only thing i could imagine with. his family his friends. fellow journalists. i could hear people crying in the corner. very real moment for everyone. could just as easily be. anybody else in the nunnery that way. as the part of it but.
5:35 am
it's cool. that he wished. something else. i've learned if. you awoken up here by your friends and they burst into the room and then the first thing they said yes we found. and of course then you know and it went into a whirlwind of events. we cried together with the trends trying to grasp what had happened meanwhile painful gruesome things had to be done. and this body which had finally been recovered by those training peacekeepers needed to be identified. my husband andrei help for this task an experience that really traumatized him. jon swain and chip high. spend the night within metres of sanders body without realizing had been assisted back to delhi by peacekeeping forces the
5:36 am
question was. what happened to ramos and what happened to ana tatar. with the rising of the sun we heard that a dutch journalist had been killed very nearby my immediate reaction was that he'd been killed by the same group that attacked us it just made perfect sense this would only marry a photographer. agreed to take me back on his motorbike to. where the whole incident happened that i was going to try and find. ramos we got back to where the attack happened and the old battered old taxi was still there with his windows all bashed out. task flat from but it holds barred use arm. or told to order for. the malays head to somebody and suddenly there's a rustling in the bush isn't running and running up his eyes to hang out.
5:37 am
here and have three on a motorbike. and so he was in on it all my arms around him kept him studying. he decided to take him to the australian. military hospital they set up with. at that moment the command of the australian forces general cosgrove right i turned to my grabbed him and said to general you know this is what happened. out of my drivers had his eye bashed up and he needs to urgent medical care. can you authorize it and some sort of way and he turned to his men and he said get this but on the first flight to dollywood. in a strain the essentials received emergency surgery and a sight in his remaining i will say. as for my interpreter and i clatter. because it was
5:38 am
a devastating thing to happen and. not something or to. not something to use a journalist i want to have to go through anyway. her read officer made inquiries about what happened to him and no one could give any real explanation. but later i learned that he had been taken with a group of other prisoners and paraded. up the army base. being beaten up and that was the last anyone ever saw of him. i suspect that any plato like so many other us with ultimately taken to jack after not the capital city of indonesia but to a cliff south of delhi and then troll now. gleeful cynically named by the indonesians because the families of victims taken their toll that it was to jakarta that their loved ones had flats.
5:39 am
i think this journey is for me. looking for some kind of closure and i'm not really sure closing what exactly. the idea when you are late but early on to gently my luck to mark a spot. where your brush arguments are. under way at the men's hockey table you're behind the money barnett's a great time of the messiah and of words i use to be of early morning go mark because. i get up each day what i said you did you know because a. police investigation shows that sandra was most probably still alive and the soldiers picked up his body and directed off the road. that brought him to a piece of scrap and behind the house in shock to the liberty in the back. by the time his body was found his face had been mutilated beyond recognition most
5:40 am
probably by his murderers. or by a by a muscle seven job or. open set it up like to do this at our school are set up by. the daughter. so i think that it will stop a. young girl and. a mum in my. guest must allow it but i'll put up by this i. hung up a bit of muscle i'll be on the go look that's why i get into the side. so does she not the have you ever felt responsible for what happened in east timor . that is one of the always is say i told you many many know. this is over youse on the. mutallab made it up but i'm
5:41 am
a jackal. and little girl for a wicked man she lives lost and the old now miss all on the good he pursues its article. i always thought they're just going to chase us away to make us they want to make us scared they don't want any witnesses. to see the plan they had to file and says they had planned all the healings and they succeeded many journalists including me had to leave. and when we came back we thought you know it's over it's better it's safer in. general we handle was eventually indicted by the special crimes unit in dealing with gross human rights violations but he never appeared in court. to be judged and to be taken so you're on behalf. of us probably just a bigger your own their own home into a dollar when you're going to be judged on the garda the state policy and state
5:42 am
policy other people should have done so you could win look i'm still policy. look he me see everything the world is not blind that it is that told you i've done my job show me the fact that they were instructed by i b b to kill sean. o'keefe. let me hide the past we look for in the future. and the future that we are on two aims for is becoming the president of indonesia in the twenty fourteen election. the former east timor guerrilla leader has become the president of his country and he leaves me with a very warm message. then.
5:43 am
they'll. all be three more. than i'm in. the message body. event in east timor one of the most traumatic events i experience not only as a journey journalist but as a person. and these events have led to a lot of other events in my life. that are also traumatic so being here of course has something to do with. it's. my
5:44 am
always belief some kind of spirits are in birds. for some reason and now good suppressing us. as i sat at the start of this film this journey was something i could only do alone and it is a very sad reason for that. everything that happened here was very traumatic for andrei and he decided not to work in conflict areas anymore. not long after he started to suffer from depression it's mine i once at first but then more and more severe. three years ago life became to my trainer and he decided to end it. but as i noted in indonesia in east timor. life there. we
5:45 am
need to accept them as they come. and things do change for the battle so the only be who sold me the ticket at the mandarin oriental hotel my one way ticket to hell is my wife of seven years. seven years to kill me when we do it again two thousand and four two thousand and thirty nine years we couldn't ask are we truly last. happy with a. family who cares one way one. look at this. and what of me i don't have andrea in my life anymore but i do have a wonderful son a miss. he's thirteen years old yes he conceived during a terrible time and. i see in him every day the spirit of andrei and he's the
5:46 am
5:47 am
a windy weather we are going to say that the worst of that weather making its way away from the eastern side of us as we go on through the next couple of days how windy weather but enough to bring in some some wildfires too into parts of new south wales hopefully things quieten down over the next day or so for melbourne temperatures getting up to fourteen cells is still on the cool side here slight recovery as we go on into the weekend but not great twenty one celsius for perth it will be dry over the next day or so jealous of wanted to showers into the interior of alice perhaps some showers to just clinging on around the top and then we go with us flight improvement from melbourne fifteen degrees celsius twenty nine there for brits been in the sunshine once again sunshine for new zealand as we go on through the next day or so but the clouds and the wind that is in the process of pushing through there also be some blustery showers she may want into the weekends of friday not see bad fun and dry but those blustery showers that will rattle their way and as we go on through sas day heaviest winds just topping in town in the
5:48 am
country or with the top temperature. in palestine under british rule. education in america. controversial professor in new york. he realized he was the voice. other people al-jazeera wound explores what made him and him through insurance. and championing the palestinian cause in the west and what signs out of place. this is.
5:49 am
hello i'm maryanne demasi this is the news hour live from london coming up the saudi crown prince sets off on a tour of friendly arab nations as donald trump again dismisses reports the cia is blaming him for jamal khashoggi murder. hundreds of migrants arrested on their way to the us mexico border u.s. troops have now been authorized to use lethal force to stop them reaching america also. look at us as the government been doing for the last two years. u.k. is drafting a long post relations with the e.u. is dismissed by critics as the worst of all worlds. in doha with all the day's sport. makes for me the one eight almost losing his arm in a crash later in the program. the
5:50 am
saudi crown prince has left saudi arabia to visit a number of arab countries it's mohamed bin sound man's first trip abroad since the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi a leading turkish newspaper says the cia reportedly has a recording of the crown prince ordering the silence according to hurry out the cia chief gina housefull signaled the existence of the tape during a recent visit to turkey tony berkeley has more from istanbul. more than fifty days after the murder of jamal khashoggi and still the leaks in turkey keep coming on thursday there were more details of the crime revealed in the newspaper this is been the go to source about the latest evidence coming out of the turkish government. it's claimed that the cia has an audio recording of the saudi crown prince ordering the murder of jamal khashoggi it can't be independently corroborated but the revelation backs up comments attributed to the cia that mohamed bin involvement was blindingly obvious.
5:51 am
well apologies for that some technical problems that will try and bring you that report a bit later on of course one other development u.s. president appears to be at odds with his own intelligence agency over the death of jamal khashoggi donald trump says that a cia assessment does not conclude the crown prince mohammed bin solomon ordered the schappert chancy explains are you celebrating it wherever you are at the u.s. president has just completed a call to troops to wish them a happy thanksgiving and have broken with protocol by asking service members to comment on political and logistical matters in front of the gathered press then he eagerly fielded questions on a range of topics from reporters the cia's assessment of the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi soon cropped up. i don't want to talk about it you have to say that the president insisted that the
5:52 am
cia had not reached any conclusion about the crown prince's responsibility for the murder and once again insisted that the cia had not reached in any configuration as a last time around prince's responsibility home for the murder. charge to be vastly inflated i think is the amount of the saudi contribution for us and the king whether he did or whether he did and. really they do is rather denies it the kings and them pointing out those things you can conclude that maybe. they don't know is another part of the false reporting because a lot of you said yesterday that they said he did it well they didn't say that they said he might have done it that's a big difference but they're vehemently denying it. according to media reports the cia has high confidence that the crown prince gave the order to kill khashoggi however it did so based on circumstantial evidence such as communications intercepts and the saudi post structure and that's all the leeway the president
