leader jumping to claim victory but the constitutional court ruled in favor of congo in an interview with al jazeera after the court's ruling he said he was accountable to the people i was the candidate of equal chance you know giving really every guy when he has a chance to really make it i'm not a mad the candidate you know to restore privileges and yet high unemployment and a sluggish economy heavily reliant on oil exports have made life more difficult and costly many young people are now calling for change seeing their leader as absent and distant has been a catastrophic. enjoying you know traveling all over. all over the world and the country go down the drain and you know everything is crises education health care and everything so people want to do something about it. armed vehicles are now patrolling the streets of the capital. but with this latest coup

attempt the bongo didn't hold on power seems fragile and uncertain because hawk al-jazeera more with the now she's in johannesburg but was in on recently in fact what do you tell us a bit about that trip there what you saw in her and then any sort of feeling you got about people's political concerns. well the come out of this was just a month after president ford an ill or of course was recuperating in morocco he didn't return to a bar after falling ill in saudi arabia so many in the country hadn't seen him for at least several weeks and they were looking forward to what the president might say in this new year's eve message an annual message but more than anything it was supposed to also be proof that the president was in fact alive and well there were many rumors that that time about the president's state of health at that point

companies had just seen a couple of photo opportunities but not hearing anything from the president in terms of governing the country and what was happening so many people there looking for reassurance but one of the things also that struck me during that trip was also the very high cost of living it's a complaint we heard from many people there the bomb is oil rich has significant or oil revenues but the concern was how an elite group of people specifically the bango family was benefiting from these oil reserves and and that the con to me and what was supposed to have been. revenue for an entire nation wasn't trickling down to the people there certainly was talk about a need for change and perhaps the president's absence at that time triggering what people might say is the time possibly for change at least those who don't support president ali bongo specially this family has been in power of for just about fifty

years earlier when we spoke to me for me that actually this type of code some people would even argue how it hadn't happened already i mean we talk about forty years of this family being in power maybe it was a long time coming. well even if we look back at twenty sixteen kemal there were protests by opposition supporters after the results of that election was announced naming early pongo the winner there were irregularities allegations of fraud and there was concern about how the bongo family was maintaining its grip on the governing is nation we saw more of that later in twenty eighteen when there were attempts to change the constitution to allow it to protect this family given that alexander was out of the country rather than shifting power at least to some extent to the president of the senate powell was given to the

prime minister and the vice president instead to are aligned with the rather than the senate president is known to have sympathies or sympathize rather with the opposition we so far haven't heard very much from the opposition some reports have trickled through indicating that they've said well look we have nothing to do with the school the government through its communications ministry has said that anybody possibly linked to the school whether it's within the military or opposition members will be investigated so the government certainly looking for more answers a number of questions have been raised just potentially how divided the military is what the status of the republican guard which is meant to protect the president what the status of that unit is but just what happens next i think very important for the government in terms of this trickling down to the masses these parents

attempted coup leaders looking for public support perhaps there wasn't enough time perhaps it was an organized in the way that they had once said we do know that at least five of them including the apparent leader lieutenant i'll be on has been arrested and two others shot dead so this did happen in a very quick way which perhaps didn't allow for any movement beyond what we saw at the national broadcaster but the governing is government certainly perhaps looking at this as a warning shot knowing that there is as there's a significant discontent. funny to me with that from johannesburg thank you now to saudi arabia u.s. secretary state might pompei is expected in riyadh in the next couple of days where he is likely to press officials about the murder of jamal khashoggi however a new report about one of the suspects accused of killing the saudi journalist is raising concern according to the washington post who of course cut he wrote for saudi authorities are refusing to confirm the whereabouts of saddle company in

november the kingdom confirmed he was being investigated and is forbid into the country but there are not concerns he could even be influencing the investigation himself. suttle cottony was a top aide to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman he was fired in october just days after the murder of khashoggi came to light he was among seventeen saudis sanctioned by the us government over the murder also played a central role in efforts to bring exiled critics like ji back to the country we saw her little josh on earlier executive director of the arab center of washington who tell us the apparent disappearance of the nie is likely part of a saudi strategy of keeping mohamed bin salman insulated from the murder of casualty as a matter of fact it's a kind of natural progression of the investigation particularly the saudi version of the investigation they have sheltered some of the keep personalities that were

involved or accused of being involved whether by turkey or by the international community or even by saudi arabia as in this case solid oak lakhani is a very visible person very close to the crown prince and with the intention of the saudi campaign right now to keep the crown prince clear from any accusations with regards to the murder of questionably i think his disappearance is not true. a senior official says a new round of talks between yemen's warring factions may take place soon in jordan you are an envoy martin griffith's met the who these before heading to riyadh to ensure a recent deal reached in sweden is fully implemented more from her. peace in yemen won't be easy but the united nations envoy martin griffiths remains confident it will one day become a reality griffith's destroying the region to ensure all the parties will implement

a human rights watch report that claims egypt is detaining sixty thousand political prisoners many of whom belong to the muslim brotherhood the political party l.c.c. outlawed. i don't know where they got that figure i said there are no political prisoners in egypt whenever there is a minority trying to impose their extremist ideology we have to intervene regardless of their numbers. l.c.c. claimed any extremists that were being held would receive a fair trial a contradiction for rights activists who say many are in prison and face long detentions. pelley also questioned about his government and israel cooperating in the fight against the islamic state of iraq and the levant would you say that this is the deepest and closest cooperation that you've ever had with israel side that is correct. therefore sometimes needs to cross to the israeli side and that's why

we have a wide range of coordination with the israelis other than a slightly futile sequence it's been estimated there are about a thousand terrorists in sinai with more than a billion dollars in us military aid to every year why haven't you wipe them out when there's a limb to start that militant and why hasn't the us eliminated the terrorists in afghanistan after seventeen years and spending a trillion dollars l c c's comments could inflame public opinion in his country which regards israel as an occupier of arab lands the two countries have a forty year old peace treaty and diplomatic relations but despite that many egyptians still think of israel as the traditional enemy last year egypt's military denied press reports that it was cooperating with israel to root out isolate delineated fighting groups in the mountainous sinai region bordering the two countries c.b.s. says the interview with the egyptian president was taped

have come under the spotlight as more females take on bigger roles in society but activists say there is a long way to go before women are treated equally imran khan reports from back there. it's been fifteen years but finally the iraqi women's wrestling team is back on the mat. the team like many other sports teams was disbanded after the u.s. led invasion and occupation of iraq in two thousand and three but much more than that it's part of a wave of women taking bigger roles in iraq a society that's unfortunately our society does not accept women sports but many iraqi women are defying these restrictions and adamant to bring achievements to iraq by raising its flag by women in international tournaments and it's not just in sports in southern iraq a former ambassador wants to revolutionize the farming industry. she's aiming to grow tomatoes and other vegetables in greenhouses without fertilizers in other

officials is in china for talks aimed at resolving a trade war the us president says he is optimistic about this new round of negotiations go back to last year a new member the u.s. imposed tariffs two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of them on chinese goods and then beijing retaliated and hit the u.s. with one hundred ten billion dollars worth of tariffs america's farmers car industries small manufacturers they've all been hurt by these levees but both sides agreed to a ninety day truce on imposing new terrorists that expires in march. is the managing director of asia analyst here where she covers china's political economy doesn't expect an agreement between china and the u.s. before march. well basically i think the americans are under less pressure than the chinese for the humbert ministration it it's a question of is this trade war dragging on for too long what's going to happen to

my volta base and things like that but for china it's very serious this trade fight has couldn't have come out of a worse time for china its economy is in trouble not just cyclical but structural it's got a debt to monterrey that history times that of g.d.p. you n.p.l. starved non-performing loans are. and all of the banks are in serious trouble worrying about what is going to happen next so china definitely does want to make an agreement as soon as possible there's no need for them to come to an agreement in two days or if they did to tell anyone about it they have got until march this troops and i think both sides are going to want to squeeze everything they can a juror in this this time to get the best out of you know the times that are

remaining so i did not expect anything dramatic to be announced before march one of the most senior catholic currents involved in a sexual abuse scandal in france has gone on trial cardinal phillipe the archbishop of leon is accused of helping to cover up abuse that story. sixty eight year old cardinal food babylon one of the most prominent catholic figures in france arrived for the start of his court proceedings the archbishop of leon is accused of helping to cover up abuse in one of his parishes five others from his diocese are also facing charges. the case is about father bernard print on who has acknowledged abusing boys and is set to be tried later this year more than eighty five people say he abused them during the one nine hundred eighty s. and one nine hundred ninety s. his alleged victims came to court hoping for answers but. the cardinal is

responsible for the diocese and in two thousand and thirteen he promoted a priest as dean who some years before had admitted to having abused children when you were responsible for a person who has admitted to having abused and raped children to promote his deen and just putting him in contact with many more believers and children is simply irresponsible in the most awful i think that at last we will know to truth about the mechanism of silence and i think that the three days i want you for us to have real answers as you know how it was possible for a sexual predator to remain in this position for fifty years to have responsibilities without being asked a single question. cardinal faces up to three years in prison and a fine of fifty four thousand dollars if convicted of failing to report the abuse of minors he denies the allegations. there have been numerous cases of sexual abuse of children within the roman catholic church. and pope francis has reiterated the church's commitment to preventing such crimes. she. can't refrain from speaking

about one of the plagues of our time which sadly has involved some members of the clergy the abuse of minors as one of the violence the most heinous crimes conceivable such abuse and absorbedly sweeps away the best of what human life holds out for innocent children and causes a reparable and lifelong damage the holy see in the church as a whole are working to combat and prevent these crimes and their concealment in. this case will likely hinge on whether cardinal barbour who should have reported a priest under his responsibility to police once he learned about the allegations against him for now the cardinal will have to answer some very hard questions in this courtroom in the days ahead dorsetshire pari al-jazeera. the u.s. navy ship has sailed near the disputed islands in the south china sea trade talks were happening china has lodged a complaint with the u.s. asking for the vessel to leave the area a guided missile destroyer was close to the pastel islands which are claimed by
