maintained that they were framed by police let's go now to our correspondent scott hyla he is following the story for us joining us from bangkok they won't appear in court themselves scott we know that but what are we what are we expecting from the hearing. elizabeth we know it should to begin the next hour hour and a half it's been slid back a little bit today we thought it would be starting within the hour but it won't and we expect the session to last about an hour itself that's what we're hearing from attorneys involved in this and what we know at the high court in young gone right now there are family members from the two gentleman reuter's officials are there as well and there's also an ngo a nonprofit there who said they are going to protest if this appeal is turned down now what's going to happen today three scenarios once this court session is concluded. the other one the first one is that they're set free the second one is

they could face a reduced sentence or the third and unfortunate sounds like this is probably the most likely just based on conversations and that is that this seven year sentence that was put forth to these two gentlemen back in september will remain seven year sentence so we're waiting to hear exactly what what's going to happen with that but right now the session itself hasn't started that's what happened probably the next ninety minutes we and a lot of other international media and rights organizations caught because they case has attracted so much international attention that we jointly named time magazine's person of the year last year but how is this viewed and myanmar and has any of that international attention on question says and put any pressure on authorities and. we can imagine internationally it has put pressure on the officials in myanmar but the reaction particularly internal for a domestic audience if you will on songs hu jia the leader there it has been really just it stoked nationalism in myanmar yes this specific case but also generally the

plight of the revenger it's interesting when you go there when you report from there most people feel as though that the whole story isn't being told when you look at specifically what these two journalists reuters journalists a lot of people in myanmar view them as traitors they feel as though they went out of law and got this secret information not set up as the reuters journalists are saying to use it externally they're really viewing it right now they lot of people in this as kind of a us versus them the outside world viewing me m.r. very different that differently than the people inside it again it's really kind of stoked nationalism we've been going over the last several years even when the range of crisis kind of came to a head it's amazing to see just how much that nationalism inside the country has really ratcheted up because of what we've been seeing over the last several months scott thank you very much for that for now that is quite hard and babcock and women of course be going back to him when we hear from the high court thank you.

it's one hundred days now since the object of this jemaah kushal gene has been to remember to at a more an event on capitol hill in washington the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives nancy pelosi criticized the trumpet ministrations response to the killing my kind of reports from washington d.c. speak of to speak asserted that the best way to remember jamal khashoggi would be to continue to fight for the freedom of the press against the many attacks being waged on it. why am i here john important the press is important why am i here because it's personal the turn of the mob or all was set by the new speaker of the house nancy pelosi who was sharply critical of the lack of faction of the trumpet

ministration it responds to murder if we decide that commercial interest should override the statements that we make in the actions that we take then we must admit that we have lost all moral authority to talk about any atrocities anywhere any time we must carry on because showbiz mission to defend the free press our strongest boer war against injustice in equity in oppression and members of congress are adamant that concrete measures are going to be taken to hold saudi arabia and the crown prince muhammad been solved accountable when we return to do a deep dive on saudi arabia. the riots it weighs on the kingdom on the earth. all those who were responsible. to show she's a murder if. they refuse to hold him accountable and our conclusion

is that he is responsible congress can and i think should pass legislation requiring sanctions against those who are responsible no matter how high up make up president trump would appear to believe that the whole issue of the murder of jamal khashoggi is over members of congress are adamant that they will remind him it isn't. but as a way this president has vowed to correct deep mistakes as he was sworn in for a second six year term the u.s. is among thirteen countries in the americas that have said they want to recognize his presidency a little accuse the u.s. of waging a world war against venezuela the country is battling hyperinflation food and medicine shortages and a seeing an exodus of residents to neighboring countries japanese prime minister shinzo says he wants britain and the e.u.

to avoid a no deal breaks it is his government supports the draft agreement that juries amaze trying to push through the bush parliament m.p.'s are expected to reject the deal next week the russians due to leave the e.u. at the end of march and british m.p.'s are expected to debate migration and the rights of british and e.u. citizens after breaks that on friday in the lead up to the crucial deal deal vote next week the government has already indicated it wants to reduce european immigration by eighty percent when it leaves the e.u. largely reports there from london. remember this it was one of the reasons leave one in the backseat referendum take back all the money the u.k. gives to the european union and spend it on the british health service instead it proved a very powerful message but how to square that with alice sandra's story by the time he'd left italy for london he had a master's degree and four years specialist experience in mental health this is

public sector what is the value that people bring and not. a minute. it's often in terms of the skills that i have so i think we need to think differently what's happening in the health service reflects a bigger question is immigration really the problem it's a say sees there are two entirely conflicting narratives at play in the u.k. at the moment the government's arguing that there is far too much european migrant labor and is taking away jobs from british people but at the same time the government congratulates itself. having record low unemployment it does rather raise the question if the government does what it says it wants to and reduce european immigration by eighty percent but who exactly is going to do all the work there is an argument between people who really care far more about restricting immigration than about the u.k. economy led by the prime minister and most of the rest of the capitals and of

course the business community who want to make preserving the interest of the project and have fired just hasn't been resolved like having argued that the u.k. was at breaking points because of uncontrolled immigration politicians are now presented with a chance of reducing is enormously if that happens the country will find out where the migrants such a problem to rule. the al-jazeera london. and reminded that that story and the rest of the day's news can be found on our website that al jazeera dot com it's currently leading. state mike pay a. visit to the middle east that and much more on our website al jazeera dot com. hello again of those of a prominent of the headlines on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has traveled to the us mexico border and texas to make his
