expected to be in five or twenty fourth you know be a couple more official steps to take if you will you know we saw in september the lifting of political parties and their ability to organize that was the first step down this path second step we're seeing today today and that is the political ban is lifted and that means that these political parties they've already been organizing for a couple months now they can fundraise and they can start to get things together they can they can have gatherings before they are banned to have more than five people at one place at one time that has been lifted as well so again a slow start another step down this very slow process as you said much delayed process to come on but again now that sort of looking at the next benchmark if you will probably come in early january that's when if everything goes as planned when they haven't always gone as planned that's when we'll see probably the lifting of the ban on campaigning that's going to be the next step but that as you describe those steps scott it changes the whole dynamic for a place that's been under military rule for political parties to suddenly be able

to operate again it's a it's a very big change for them. absolutely and what one focus right now the couple of things that the people are really eyeing now what is going to be that announcement on january second yes campaigning will start be able to fully engage these political parties but what kind of campaigning will be allowed the prime minister he was the one who led the coup back in two thousand and fourteen he has said that there will be a certain framework for this campaigning what does that mean is that going to be different than the campaigning we've seen in previous years in democratic elections here in thailand what's going to be different but that's what we're going to we're really kind of focused on that but then also soon after that we're going to hear the political parties they each get to put forth three candidates for prime minister and the prime minister now again he was one who led the military coup former general what role is he going to take in politics moving forward he's expressed that you want some type of role he hasn't announced exactly what it's going to be there's a very pro military government party out there is he going to be named as one of

their three prime minister candidates we don't know just yet but again step down this process come are often delayed but this is as far down as we've gotten so eyes really now focused on forever twenty eight twenty fourth as the date but first we're going to find out when the campaigning if the campaigning ban has lifted it will be lifted on january second as expected very interesting thank you scott heide lawyer in bangkok there in the news ahead reaching the united states any way they can central american asylum seekers resorting to desperate measures. hello you know welcome back we're here across europe to have been plenty of winds across the central and northern part of europe over the last few days and that's really going to continue for parts of poland as well as germany as we go towards

. to you both and thank you for joining us a great deal applause applause here earlier on during the ceremony that was standing ovations for you two so congratulations if i can start with you or anyone who's heard your story or deal of the last four years it's very hard for most of us to imagine those things that you've been through when you were here today receiving the nobel peace prize who were you thinking of. betty how my dog on there first of all my mother. that was the first thing that came to my mind. i thought about myself and my body.

just. i did everything for people not for mice. self when i think about that prize to have yes that sort of violence that happening and that's to work out in doing and shame of the dying have shown to everybody it's for humanity so that everybody see what has happened i'm not just saying it for myself it was just for me of course i wouldn't be doing all the work we are all one people. thousands of people that up until today have been faced with these difficulties dr mcrae gay you've treated thousands of women over the years at panzi hospital in becoming what does this nobel peace prize mean for those women and for the people of the democratic republic of congo as a whole. in fact i think sexual

violence has. always been denied in our society it mustn't be the picked him it falls says the suffering of having been raped there must be quick whistles that through this recognition that we must be able to change to this suffering of the victim. and turn it towards the aggressors under torture is not yet you said that you felt the world abandoned your community the one the smallest and most persecuted minorities in the world and they were almost wiped out by i saw in twenty fourteen do you feel that there's nobel peace prize will bring back the focus on the plight of your people do you think it can achieve justice for the s.c. these. charges. and here for years. then we see that the rights of easy to people have not been given to them but we have not stopped our efforts. the number of peace prize for you this helping us yes we

are talking here but up until now three thousand women and girls of the cd of my village of other visions of the villages around my village are still in the hands of isis are sold are raped and we don't know what their situation is and what it's going to be we are doing it tireless work and we hope that very soon we will be able to see justice taking its place don't you see heard no idea tell her story you heard it again today you've heard thousands of similar stories over the years now i know you are a doctor you have to be professional you have to be dispassionate but when you hear these stories inside as a human being does it give you our english or is it just anger. reports i think that even if even if you are a doctor you remain a human being and when you all find yourselves in this humanity that you share

with the victim of one of the patients in front of you there are sometimes things that will make you angry because. i have difficulties in understanding how an adult can't destroy a child how after having rape somebody which is very serious and then furthermore introduce objects to destroy the genital organs i think you feel that show in a state of anger because you do not understand how on top of rape somebody can apply this torture now we see you together today two different people different ages different backgrounds from different parts of the world but with a shared message you're together here in all slow i'd like to know have you met before and how did that come about if you have. yes we have to

leave before in two years ago in paris. he was trying to help me and help victims in iraq and he did and. through. the years it would be in iraq so you not just nobel laureates your friends . very well it's not just questions coming from ask here on the podium today we've got our audience here in oslo city hall and they've got questions to the first one of those is from milan you are a masters student can you tell us your question please sexualize violence against girls and women has been used as a weapon of war for a long time why do you think this hasn't been brought forth as a big issue on the world stage until now i think that today more room women are speaking which is a wonderful thing a neat needs to be encouraged and i think that me too breaking silence all these

movements will help to make the calls go forward and progress precisely on that maggie i you refuse to accept the social codes in many cultures that require women to stay silent and ashamed of the abuses that they've been subjected to why did you decide to speak up no matter how hard why did you decide to be a voice for the thousands of years of the women. of course i felt shameful from day one of our until today i still feel shameful about what has happened to me and many other u.c.d. girls after we were somewhere safe such as germany and we wanted to raise our voices because this will continue with all the women but if women and girls don't allow to do that and this is going to be

a weapon of what if we don't use it today and don't speak up today tomorrow this will continue while we spoke to one of the thousands of victims that you've treated over the years up to mccuaig many eileen was taken by militia men in eastern d r c in two thousand and two she was held for six months and rapes repeatedly she managed to escape and ended up at panzi hospital here's her message to you. was a volatile few really wished to see life and after i was raped i thought it was the end of the world because i was stigmatized i was abandoned by everyone but. i didn't think i could go back living in society or even the bonzi so when i arrived at panzi hospital i was treated don't because i said that didn't give me thanks to dr macwhich i made it and everyone respects me again totally most you seem to do less than me now i am a mother i have six children i have work and i continue to go to school.

i'm so grateful to you for giving me a new life as we were abandoned by our own communities rejected by our families stigmatized everywhere we went so may god continue to protect you. because you have saved thousands of women including myself and six men. good luck in your fight good luck in your struggle. than. genesis one of the appalling stories but with a very uplifting message at the end thanking you for the work that you're doing there panzi hospital maybe you could tell us a little bit more of what happens after surgery and what you do to try and heal these women at van reintegrate them into a society where rape victims tend to be stigmatized. the

medical treatment for the victims of sexual violence is a small part in the treatment and the handling of victims of sexual violence when we started their trauma the trauma psychological trauma was so strong that they could not continue a normal life and so. we included psychological handling when they're excluded by this family by the community by the husband if you leave them in the street they will be raped again so we must be able to support them. too so they can be reintegrated into society some finally when women are really integrated into society it is at that moment that they are asking for justice you know idea. congratulations and your fiance is here with us in the audience here in oslo. how were you able. to survive your ordeal and build

a future for us what do you see the people have done is something huge and enormous they have accepted what has happened when we returned and all the married girl that went back were accepted by the husband with all know and they were accepted and we could see that many of these girls could actually get married they have given birth to children as a minister in was not and i didn't know that i would have a. beautiful life one day again that i would have my own family one day. and. i have a fiance know. and he's also his little buddy or big of a been home with their son and he knows everything of that and that was a difficult aspect but he knows exactly what has happened to me and more than anybody else in this world more questions from our audience here in oslo city hall

than we have with us to business owners who also work on a project to prevent gender violence here in norway we have felicie who originally was born in liberia and we have saltire who was born in turkey and is kurdish and you have two related questions if you could give us your questions yes what you said the men the cross the war but the being reaganite to women who have been raped what are most important ways to support this woman men who rape are not to men another to man is someone who can talk to women and who does not rape and respect them that the form is something men can do women have done so. i've done a lot to conquer sexual violence and it's time for men to be engaged to commit themselves and then yes while we're on the subject of men one aspect that really is

on the report is in conflict zones and in your own country male rape is a quite you know that you can poland the big problem is that rape is when rape is used as a weapon of war we try to use all the means that allow. it and they allow us to do you humanize the other person and i've known and i've looked after men who have been raped by men it is not the specific armed group that thinks that the best thing to do is to rape a man before his wife before his children and to humiliate him before his family and i think that this attitude is simply an attitude of war which i also just as bad as the rape the raping of women. now dia you mentioned in your speech today and it's believed that some three thousand women still remain

enslaved by ice or four years after they swept into. i know your dream is for your people to return to their homeland but what do you tell to the women of your community who had children from i saw fighters and who don't want to come back who are afraid to come back what is your message to them my message to these girls and women. it's not your fault it's not a fault of the children that's the fault of isis and the girl is if you go and is a do woman no matter what has happened to you how many children you have from isis . so to begin your bit of again you raise your head and go back for every single is a deep person. the doors are open and we are looking forward and we are waiting for you it doesn't matter if it's one child ten children as long as you are safe come

back thank you and back to our audience jordan. who was born in doctor working in country a democratic republic of congo you have a question yes first of all dr required maraud thank you for all that you do for being so brave and for never giving up so what do you believe the international community should hope to address these human rights violations and to support those fleeing sexual violence both fleeing sexual violence that brings the whole problem of migration into this and we're in an international atmosphere of growing nationalism and populism you just have to look at the most powerful country in the world not the president trump doesn't have very good words for migrants what would you say to jordan i was question. a circus one would over time and normally look at me i'm one of them i ran away. we want to have a safe live dates to reason relieving our country my expectation it is near and to

look at these people they're running away from montreal cities they want to be in a safe place until there is justice in their own country so an idea we wanted to find out what life is lying to day for your community the years edis in northern iraq and we went to northern iraq to find out about the current situation that they're facing today the vast majority of you see these are living in camps for the internally displaced al jazeera as rob matheson visited one in doha kiss his report . hello to all yes is one of thousands of years e.d.s. once driven to the mountains of northern iraq ahead of an onslaught by ice on the northeast twenty fourteen holiday lost thirty seven members of an extended family who are there at the darshan i still had no mercy we were told that my family had been stopped at an isolation appoint the men were killed and women and children were taken reports of years he's dying from lack of food and water huddled together

and leaks in john monckton finally provoked other countries to take action western helicopters dropped supplies the u.s. joined the fight against eisel the threat may have receded but you say their struggle to live continues it's estimated there are between five hundred thousand and one million visitors in the world most of them are here in northern iraq and many of them live in camps like things they say they've been persecuted for hundreds of years because of their religion they say there's part of their religion which is misinterpreted to the use it is the ferocious attack by i saw them twenty fourteen was just another attempt at what the u.n. describes as genocide some aid organizations are still working is eighty camps but global help is dwindling they think that that is over here thought about concentrating on the other places but it's not like that because people are still

living in the camps and they need they need food they need shelter they safe a place. some years it is believe the war against eisel isn't over and that armed fighters are living among them in disguise for the opposition we're not expecting much from the world right now is not giving much to help ease our suffering we feel left behind. is it easy that is threats remain and supply and shrink the battle simply to exist has been forgotten but the rest of the world the united nations has established an investigative team to support iraqi domestic efforts to hold isolate countable for crimes committed in the country karim khan is the head of that team the u.n. investigative team for accountability of diasur unit todd thank you very much for being with us today place and up i have a few questions for you on the work that you're doing now the resolution that establish your team was adopted over a year ago but i understand that you haven't actually started anything would work

in iraq what is the most urgent priority right now and is enough being done to preserve the evidence of eyesores atrocities in iraq well firstly i think we have two remarkable laureates today and i think the speech that we heard this afternoon is one that repays. relistening to because there's many important lessons that justice claps is to give a phrase justice requires that the acts don't take place in the first place and that requires a larger conversation so we actually give life to the promise that we've heard since nuremberg of never again what we're trying to do is accountability and that is. knowledge is processed requires proof beyond reasonable doubt but we have the political not to let me bring you back in there's a new government in iraq finally are you hopeful that it will mean change for your people a brighter future for your people perhaps. at the head up their

iraqi government is new. for more than just a month now our hope is that the iraqi government will give more right more rights to the u.c.d. people so that we have more respect and more in iraq no idea this subject you put on the world stage today the nobel peace prize you speaking at the un security council at the un general assembly this is something you the world is talking about this issue but how do you actually stop those rapes those attacks by those men on the ground things that have been going on down the centuries. every individual person i have met. i have told them what isis has done and they didn't saw that it was such a big on a such a big scale and cannot be stopped as dr mcvickar said until we find to give

them the right we need to have the equal rights for girls and boys denis if i can ask you to pick up on that we've talked about the accountability you've done your bit putting this in the international spotlight everyone is aware of the issue and focusing on the issue but what else is needed to stop crying means that have gone on you can go back in ancient history and they talk about rape and war when the world becomes aware that this weapon of rape in conflict is a weapon that destroys not only the victim but even future generations because i can see the indios see i can see the charred child being born who was born after rape and who catches hiv v. there is child if you can be a generation that will suffer of not only from this you liberal rape. clearly

speaking but the horizontal they all do the infections that can be caught on to something. lead to additional victims without what about the injuries vertically in the heart horizontally if we become a word that we can fight this weapon and now we can have campaigns as we have done for chemical weapons and biological and nuclear weapons we can reach a level where any person who is involved in a conflict knows the already that if he uses rape as a weapon of war his client will be very will be no country that will accept me all troops will collaborate with me psychologically can make a difference but today we feel very world as the world is not. fully aware that it is a dangerous weapon this has been a very difficult conversation but an extremely important one can i thank you both

for sparing as your time on what's been a very tiring day for you denis thank you for your lifetime's work and nadia thank you for your incredible bravery thank you very much dr. thank you to our audience here in oslo city hall for being part of this very important conversation to and to all of you at home also watching for me for me back to iraq and the whole team here in oslo thank you very much. i said this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of tunnel billeted and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest solution. impactful.

yes they say. the main things that sets zero zero apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people but about ideas or politicians and what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok but a little more complicated don't put it off and if this is not an act of creation i mean i remember walking. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave. some of us so scar we've askew to speak out was a surprise but. this job isn't just about what's in the script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now. an army of volunteers has come together to help with the influx of tens of thousands of evacuees. but their retreat to a church shelter has brought new challenges an outbreak of norovirus and other

scene outside parliament as the prime minister was about to speak i don't agree with conservatives new found under very reliable warning three waves the democratic will of the people should be respected yes we'll have to find out what it is any idea and that is the representatives of the people from the political classes equally in chaos order statements the prime minister. to so much time and energy spent on coming up with a way of trying to leave the european union while keeping everybody happy the prime minister has found a deal has so little support it could not get through a vote m.p.'s openly mocking her in return she looks totally exasperated it is clear that while there is broad support for many of the key aspects of the deal i guess on one issue on one issue the north star that remains widespread and steep concerned as a result if we went ahead and held the folks tomorrow the deal would be rejecting

it. significant. we will therefore defer the coach actual for tomorrow. and not proceed to divide the house at this time but the opposition was having none of it if she's going back to brussels then she needs to build a consensus in this house there is no point no point at all in this prime minister bringing back the same deal again which clearly does not support the government is not supported by this house. and. gradually voices are being heard arguing that the parliament might have no choice if it can also agree itself how to leave the e.u. but to hold another referendum it isn't even clear what the terms of it might be aphasic ailsa disclaims will not be the laughingstock won't miss embarrassing the adage says a week is a long time in politics but here right now they stagger from day to day making it

up as they go along so back to brussels she will have to go where the leaders of the twenty seven european union countries may offer her a small amount of sympathy but no way out of her nightmare as it stands the u.k. can neither find a way of leaving the european union nor persuading itself to abandon the entire project and reputations are being shredded in the process gloriously al-jazeera westminster in london. is the same this tuesday dominic kane in brussels where tourism is heading later we'll talk to you in a moment john i want to start with john hall in london john or it was to be today the day of the meaningful vote instead we have been emergency but no less meaningful debate. yes very much so the repercussions of that decision to call off the meaningful vote for the time being still very much being felt here westminster a bubble of swirling speculation now about quite why she did it what she hopes to

achieve by it and whether she will succeed that emergency debate you refer to there kemal is an opportunity for the labor party the opposition party here in opposition m.p.'s along with the speaker john bercow to vent their anger once again that the government apparently certain circumvented by elementary procedure in calling up that vote without consulting them but you know this is a debate that will likely come and go the prime minister meanwhile will not even be in the country because she's dashed off in a hurry to the continent she's having breakfast with mark router later to meet you leaders her erstwhile colleagues some of them who she hopes may come to her support she's looking we're told and the m.p.'s here are told for assurances that rather vague word about the much dreaded backstop hoping to assure them that the backstop perhaps will never be used or if it is used that it will be strictly temporary and i know dominic is standing by to tell us what sort of reception she's likely to

receive but don't expect the spotlight to fall suddenly on this prime minister as she is widely seen here in westminster as having lost much of her credibility much of her or flora t. here the spotlight will also be on behind the scenes dealings the possibility perhaps of another of a leadership challenge within her own party the possibility also of a vote of confidence being called by the labor party with other opposition parties lining up to say they'd support it if jeremy corbyn is willing to call it thanks from our jonah halls in london as he said dominic cane is in brussels we're moving over there now as it's a teresa mayes expected there later in the day when you pick things up for us now dominic and explain what she's looking for there. but she's looking as he was saying for reassurance she's looking for a way out of this amp us something that will be acceptable to everybody given the fact that it appears the on the domestic front what she has to proffer is

acceptable to nobody her problem is that she will receive a core deal a friendly rosette reception from some of the leaders certainly markets and the prime minister of the netherlands who she's meeting now well he is himself on the mildly euro skeptic side of the debate on the continent so yes friendliness from him but that's not really that much that he can really do if he had the choice he would not see that the british leave the european union so when she to resign may then goes on to germany to berlin to meet angle americal again a friendlier relationship between the two women and there will be some understanding of her plight her predicament but there's no way that angle or merkel will step back from the deal that she says is the only deal that the e.u. and britain can have this deal that to reason may has decided to remove a meaningful vote on the question then is well what can she expect from the e.u. itself from the officials in the presidents of the two presidents she will meet

president to skin president well again the point here is they don't want to renegotiate the deal they all believe this is the only deal that would be acceptable so in some ways you have this rather intractable problem the deal is not acceptable in the united kingdom but no other deal it seems is acceptable for the european union writ large so the reason may has this as it were she has to try and square a circle with no suggestion of. very many questions that she will face very few answers that we can see here that will be acceptable back on the domestic front in the united kingdom. ok dominic canes in brussels will be back with him later theresa may do you there she's also going to be in berlin and here at the hague the netherlands prime minister margaret the red carpet has been rolled out for her and we will bring you all those events as they happen in those various locations throughout europe over the course of tuesday. meanwhile france's president is promising to raise the minimum wage and to cut taxes in his first national address
