about one whole recall that yields are met it clumps an incendiary devices on the tourney to pick a fight with the police. the french education minister described the pictures a shocking but said the violence convulsing france justified the heavy handed policing it was not an opinion shared by the students in paris mourning your friends has always been a country where we can say what people been going this tweet saying. and their mistakes and. now is my point like they will hold true to demonstrate because the. police officers are very. very like by a limited and everything just students joining the protests were just here in the finest but wide across the country is adding a new dimension and a new them a mentor to the best projects the interior minister went to inspect the armored

the port of her data which accounts for more than seventy percent of food imports to yemen the government asked the huth east to pull out immediately warning it will resume the offensive to take control of the city if they don't the healthy is had agreed to partially hand over management of the port to the united nations in exchange for a cease fire to be implemented in the one hell if we are to agree we need a governing authority that represents all of yemen and to which all parties will hand over weapons. the first day of these talks so a rare agreement among yemen's rivals for a president exchange deal. it is widely seen as a significant step forward to the conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and created the worst humanitarian crisis in the world it's unclear

if the un will be able to narrow differences between the two parties as the resist calls to solve the dispute now the huth is insist on a presidential council to replace her the and leave the country for an interim period a move that has been rejected by the government as a who the tactic to further expand influence over yemen has. the town of rimbaud or they are scores of stockholm the u.s. state department says russia and syria falsely accused opposition fighters and the chemical attack in a leper last month the alleged gas attack injured up to one hundred people on november twenty fourth the u.s. says it has credible information that pro-government forces likely use tear gas against civilians it also says both countries are using the attack as an opportunity to undermine a ceasefire and rebel controlled province. a deal to cut to global oil production has been struck in vienna the so-called opec plus a group of nations agreed to hold back a combined one point two million barrels

a day they are trying to prop up the price which has fallen from eighty five dollars in october to sixty this week but it needed the agreement of non opec member russia to seal the deal paul brennan reports from the austrian capital. for more than forty years opec controlled the global oil industry the group's near monopoly keeping a tight rein on supply and on prices the events of this week in vienna shows those days are truly over despite consensus that the cuts in production is needed to stop a slide in the oil price thursday's gathering of just the opec member states failed to agree to tell the numbers and so on friday is the meeting expanded to include non opec members all eyes were on alexander novak the russian energy minister pressured to stop was after thorough analysis which we have been conducting of the market situation will be ready to come to me to understanding on how to take corporation further. the final figures opec members will reduce output by eight

hundred thousand barrels a day the non-impact countries will hold back a further four hundred thousand barrels iran libya and venezuela will be exempted the prospect of cutting one point two million barrels a day was enough to push brant crude above sixty three dollars from below fifty nine dollars the previous day go back to the supply demand we believe that there are substantial volumes out there as a result of releasing the spare capacity that you to be. withdrawn and we hope that we will come to an agreement where all. producers will contribute with. equal cuts across the board there was significant transparency and who was going to be doing a credit for for example saudi government laid out their path to basically removing barrels the russian government also gave us in the window. about what their words actions would be so i think this statement was actually more transparent than expected i think it actually is

a more robust than we extracted in the last couple days but what happens here in vienna is only part of the picture the united states is now the world's biggest crude oil producer now really eclipsing russia and with saudi arabia in third the fact is opec no longer calls the shots this is been a hard fought compromise deal and the fact it's been so difficult emphasizes the limits now of opec's effectiveness and there are still question marks as to how long the deal down here will actually last paul brennan al-jazeera vienna. south korea is fighting to reduce pollution but domestic efforts and learn to deal with the problem a launch portion of the country's air pollution comes from outside. explains. wearing masks to filter out this fire has become the norm for people in south korea

abusing children instead of helping them. i'm steve on this episode one on one is the best of gates how those meant to protect children can sometimes be their predators. nestled in the shadow of the himalayas lies a quiet and village about two hours from the polls capital katmandu. the road leading into the village is bumpy as it winds its way through this steep hill . it may be picturesque but for those who live here it's a life marked by poverty. perhaps not a surprising place for a world renowned humanitarian to come and build a home it's a beautiful country. it's my adopted home here because i love the people and i'm

telling you is that a specialist. canadian peter dalgleish has devoted his life to helping some of the world's poorest children in africa afghanistan indonesia. he's worked with leading aid organizations including the united nations world food program and unicef and set up his own charity street kids international twice for the last two weeks of nineteen eighty-four in a refugee camp in northern ethiopia with between five and six thousand children who were in the last stages of life. and. transforming moment and i knew at that point that i would never practice law and i never raced around in a convertible b.m.w. in the streets of vancouver with the top down and there would be no ski chalet you know my life had changed and. i made a promise to the kids in the camp that i would never forget them and i never out.

dalglish has rubbed shoulders with prime ministers one prestigious awards and written about his work with kids around the world. how are you. right this is your village. he's a village elder big gram to mang was born here like most of the other locals around . he's never ventured far from these hills near the middle. of the. party so just that. he remembers when dalglish first arrived here in the foothills of the himalayas. of everywhere maybe about ten years ago he first came and. he comes frequently. sometimes he arranges his family for a year sometimes just

a few months of work. or you want to you know. one morning last april the piece of this quiet village was shot police burst into dalglish's home in the hills and found two boys inside they led the boys away and took dalgleish into custody officers also took his passport computer and mobile phone is a rest every. one of them what i would common community his legal education we trust of this easily even i did not study much and i believe in all of that. but beneath his generosity and respected public profile police say dalgleish was a very different man they allege the child advocate is actually a child abuser nepalese authorities state he lured children with food and money and

promised them overseas trips and jobs in five star hotel before sexually abusing them we've said seidlin says many days. and it is that. we have to spend lots of trying. to bring peter ellis in the frame of justice. to believe he will be convicted because he committed the crime. cabot caterwaul is the deputy superintendent of the nepal police he was in charge of the investigation that led to doubtless his arrest he and his officers began investigating after they received a tip from an overseas source actually many pardon us they're coming here in. the. and we really respect them for their dedication for support but some

of the. masking the sister was under the cover of the with the sense in power. the misusing the power in their. exploiting children. the former aid worker currently sits in a cell in a small town outside katmandu waiting for his case to wind its way through the net police court. this is the prison where peter is being held he's agreed to tell us his side of the story the prisoner won't allow cameras inside but we can record his voice. if you want to record whatever is no probs ok. dalglish denies all allegations of child sexual abuse he insists he's an innocent man swept up in a police crackdown. so you need to know that i never touched any child.

if you went to the village near my house they would tell you i've never invited any kids to my house i never not one child. need to know both treats their father one morning his father that weighs on from he lives on the property that he's in my house more than me he's a severe alcoholic and i keep them employed i need to know there is no d.n.a. evidence against me. there is no medical evidence. police say they had submitted photographs of children from his computer as evidence but declined to give more details dalglish maintains he is the victim i think. it starts. with jealousy and with gossip. it's never know for sure i think. i will be much freedom. now i love this country

i will continue to fight to protect kids who will. not benefit. i never abused or touch a child in a program. if there is only two boys. krishna to her garage and rishi best to cody which is nine years old when they first met peter dahl glitch. i was going down from the school and my house and. i was sitting. and i met peter that that then in the road is more than a that for us because he's done for us as a dad where our father should be standing but he didn't father he left us he also became a father figure for rishi. and he and i he's the one who do everything for me and my uncle and. now the boys say it's their turn to do something for

peter ensuring he has good food to eat and it's looked after in prison is he still looking after you financially this is still supporting us yeah yeah yeah we're getting money and we're expanding that money and peter on the beat and of other things. did more than just put the boys through school he helped them see a world beyond a pull taking ben to student conferences anything kapoor and thailand. i don't have anything else if i have a better i would not have been here i would be like doing something some kind of job. and gulf countries so yeah or have whatever knowledge of. the boys and visit dalgleish in prison three times a day. we're happy to do this it's our duty we dreamed of looking after him in his

old days but we never ever thought that he would be looking after him like this. dalglish's reached in nepal extended far beyond the village where he built a home. he first came to the himalayan nation more than a decade ago to work for a u.n. agency. he also taught students boarding school in katmandu. this is the school where peter dalglish taught children on a volunteer basis and administrator told us the school cut ties with him in two thousand and eleven but refused to meet with us to explain why. the administrator has however told canadian media that she became worried after dalglish asked her to bend the rules to allow children to visit his house after school dalgleish denies this and blames the falling out on internal politics. i was going to go involving

money. there's a lot of money tied up with the buddhist community here and if you want to call it . douglas took his message about the need to help vulnerable children far and wide christie just schools invited him to give motivational talks to their students. united world colleges or you w c which has seventeen schools around the world said dalglish spoke at a number of their own vents about his work with the u.n. and with street children five months before he was arrested you w.c. investigated rumors about possible exploitative p.t.v. are they then suspended him from the board of trustees of you w.c. thailand and released a statement. it read we thought mr douglas was part of the fight for education opportunities for disadvantaged children across the globe it is shocking that the

precarious situation of these children may have been used for their sexual exploitation. peter douglas may be the most high profile man to be accused of child abuse in the paul but he's certainly not the only one. since april of this year police police have charged for other foreigners with similar offenses. most of the arrests took place in katmandu magnet for tourists and for poor vulnerable children. at the very beginning all of the data files they were concentrated on because. of these two children and it is easy to find a small boy. deputy superintendent covet caterwaul was off duty at a party with his two sons when he first noticed a foreigner surrounded.
