in parliament they look as if they could be absolutely decimated in today's election and so there will need to be some form of of an opposition to challenge. the mice that the lions. but it's not clear yet who that would be there are several parties including the republicans that maybe pick up a few seats that the past year and with an overall majority will be able to bring through those reforms but on the downside of course ironically is that armenian democracy. certainly will have a new shape in another one party government but at least. he'll be able to go ahead with those changes or at least he will try to deliver on those promises that he made things like dealing with the economy bringing in more foreign investment he's also going to have to tackle head on some really cool issues like the nagorno-karabakh conflict with azerbaijan and closed all of this with turkey if

they can get those borders open i would really change the dynamic in this region but those are serious challenges yes and as you say no exit polls to be expected but will stay across any information should it in march thank you very much robin farseer walk without all the latest on the election in armenia while the gulf cooperation council has been meeting in riyadh with divisions between the six members more and more exposed saudi arabia's king someone opened the talks in the capital he did not address the ongoing blockade of cattle by three g. c. c. members bahrain the u.a.e. and for saudi arabia but the emir of kuwait has been part of mediation efforts call for an end to regional to spirits. i don't ever there and though we have faced a lot of challenges and on top of them there are the differences between our g.c.c. nations we need not to risk the interests of our peoples the peoples of the g.c.c.

council states the g.c.c. must not be hesitant we need to keep our situation firm stand firm and we need to be able to face the challenges in our region. has more now from kuwait city. the kuwaiti i mean was somebody who has always been leading attempts to try and find a mediation in fact the last summit took place here in kuwait and qatar sent its amir as a sign of respect or maybe encouragement or support for these mediation efforts however the saudis the united arab emirates and the behind has refused to send any senior official to represent them this time around in the riyadh it is cut out of this has decided to truce to send its deputy or assistant foreign minister whilst the heads of states or at least senior members of the blockading nations exist the saudi king king solomon when he spoke in his opening remarks spoke about many different issues but refused to talk about the blockade on qatar and these threats

posed to the unity of the gulf countries the quaids he. did mention it she did say that maybe there needs to be a lot of work put into the discourse in the media campaigns that have been ongoing now against different member states however obviously fall short of maybe them on the more serious action from the political leadership of the blockading nations but at least that will be seen by some that kuwait hasn't lost all hope despite the fact that this blockade has gone on for a year and a half significantly speaking if we think of what's most likely to come out of the summits from a tangible perspective very little relief as far as the saudis are concerned their media will try and shine a light to show that they still have some sort of leadership role in the region and therefore for them it will be seen as a success but when you're talking about the gulf cooperation council that's seen very little cooperation on economic fronts on the security fronts on the diplomatic fronts this summit will be very much like the one before whereby the optimist will

say there is something good in the fact that at least this has taken place presidents will point to the fact that obviously not all the heads of states are there on the realists will say well this corporation counsel short of maybe allowing for free movement and trade which now isn't the case it really hasn't achieved much over the years. meanwhile the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has made her first public comments on the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi told the atlantic magazine that the saudi government doesn't get a pass we can't condone it we can ever say it's ok we can't ever support thuggish behavior and we have to say that well heidi jocasta has more on those comments from washington. you can see how she often has said that she agrees with trump's goals when it comes to foreign policy but not necessarily with his style and we saw her navigate that fine line throughout her tenure as u.n. ambassador and in this article two she states how she thinks saudi arabia is

a vital partner to the u.s. but that is in her words this thuggish behavior continues then that partnership is in jeopardy now when asked by the interviewer whether mohamed bin samon the crown prince of saudi arabia should be held responsible for the killing of jamal khashoggi she didn't you are saying that determination is up to the administration as we know trump has defended the crown prince he has said there is no direct evidence that he ordered the killing of khashoggi that is contrary to the conclusion of u.s. senators of both parties who were briefed by the cia last week their determination is that the prince is complicit in the murder in fact in the words of one republican senator that the crown prince would be convicted by a jury in less than thirty minutes to have for you on the program the refugees and migrants standing their ground in italy where political rhetoric has cultivated

a culture of hate and division and concerns that a volcano they call them out and of god is on the verge of eruption what will this mean for the community of mass i who live in its shadow. and we've got a lot of cloud of rain over parts of southeastern china at the moment with a huge area of cloud making its way across us also affecting shanghai there in the east and across into taiwan now under that we also. some wet weather i think the heaviest of the rain and snow will be in the northern parts of i'm up there on monday stretching up toward shanghai but as we head into choose day that system just pushes its way further towards the south so shanghai should see more in the way of drawing weather that will still be a fair amount of clough clinging on to the south coast though so hanoi and hong

kong both will see a fairly great day with a few breaks of rain at times now across towards india and for most of us here it's fine and dry sri lanka is very different though lots of cloud a lot of rain with us and it has been pretty wet over the past couple of months and it looks like we're going to see plenty more rain over the next few days and it will be incredibly heavy so plenty of rain then on monday and tuesday for many of us in sri lanka and it looks like we have a little developing feature within that as well for the arabian peninsula where mostly fine and dry the winds in doha feeding down from the north so they are making things a little bit cooler now our top temperature is around twenty six degrees it's still a little bit milder for us since a lot of maximum getting to twenty nine. in nepal poverty leaves children vulnerable and at risk but sometimes those who say

episode one on one is the best or 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 pulse capital katmandu. the road leading into the village is bumpy as it winds its way through the steep hill. it may be picturesque but for those who live here it's a life marked by poverty. maps 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 i'm telling you is i'm 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 the last two weeks of nineteen eighty-four in a refugee camp in northern ethiopia with. between five and six thousand children who are in the last stage of the wife. and. transforming moment and i knew at that point that i would never practice law and i never raised her. in a convertible b.m.w. in the streets of vancouver with the top down. has rubbed shoulders with prime ministers one prestigious awards and written about his work with kids around the world.

like most of the other locals around. he's never ventured far from these hills. he remembers when i first arrived here in the foothills of the himalayas. maybe about ten years ago. sometimes he arranges a year sometimes just a few months. or you want to. buy one morning last april the piece. was. police burst into

dalglish's home. and found two boys inside. the boys away and took into custody officers also took his passport computer and phone. every. community has little education. easily even i did not study much and i believe. 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 authority state he lured children with food and money and promised them overseas trips and jobs in five star hotels before sexually abusing them we did sybil seidlin says for many days. and

it is the outcome of our biggest son. we have spent lots of trying. to bring peter ellis in the frame of justice. we formed to believe he will be convicted because he commuted 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 putting us there coming here in. the lobby. and we really this picked them for their to the case and. for some of them masking there's some more. under the cover of the what you sense in. the end 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 being held he's agreed to tell us his side of the story the prison won't allow cameras inside but we can record his voice. just want to record what are of no probs ok. dalglish denies all allegations of child sexual abuse he insists he's an innocent man swept up in a police crackdown. 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 i never not one child. need to know both treats their father one of

his father that weighs on he lives on the property that he's in my house more than me he's a severe alcoholic to my judgement call or need to know there is no d.n.a. evidence against me. there is no medical evidence no photographs. or. 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 augustine. it starts. with jealousy. we never know for sure right now but i would much freedom. now i love this country i will continue to fight to protect kids. not. i never abuse or touch a child in a program. if there is only two boys. krishna.

and rishi best to cody which is nine years old when they first met peter dogg. 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 would be standing but he didn't father he left us he also became a father figure for rishi. and he you know he's the one who do everything for me and my uncle and. now the boy say it to their turn to do something for peter ensuring he has good food to eat and it's looked after in prison and is he

still looking after you financially this is still supporting us yeah yeah. we're getting money and we're expanding that money and peter on the beat and the other things. douglas did more than just put the boys through school he helped them see a world beyond nepal taking them to student conferences in singapore and thailand i didn't have anything else if i haven't been to a lot i have been here i would be like doing something some kind of. in gulf countries so or have whatever i'm knowledge of. the boys and visit dalgleish in prison three times a day. we're happy to do this it's our duty we dream of looking after him in his old days but we never ever thought that he would be looking after him like this.

dalglish's reach in the paul extended far beyond the village where he built a home you're the first came to the himalaya nation more than a decade ago to work for a u.n. agency. 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. political involving money and you know there's a lot of money tied up with the buddhist community here and there's a lot of politics. douglas took his message about the need to help

vulnerable children far and wide prestigious schools invited him to give motivational talks to their students. united world colleges or u.w. c. which has seventeen schools around the world said dalglish spoke at a number of their events 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. they then suspended him from the board of trustees of u. w.c. thailand and released a statement. it read we thought mr dog 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. maybe 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 have charged for other foreigners with similar offenses. most of the arrests took place in katmandu a magnet for tourists and for poor vulnerable children. at the very beginning all of the good of files there were concentrated because there are lots of restrictions and it is easy to find a small board. deputy superintendent covet caterwaul was off duty at a party with his two sons when he first noticed a foreigner surrounded by young boys i was with my family and i noticed. he was with children young children sixteen sixteen and one was

sixteen i noticed i was secretly. i have some sense you see because i was very day.
