hello again you're watching auxerre on let me take you through our top stories this hour boeing has grounded its global fleet of seven three seven max aircraft ofter u.s. president gone from joining dozens of other countries which a battle the planes from their skies this follows the crash of an ethiopian airlines seven three seven that killed one hundred fifty seven people. the u.k. parliament will vote on thursday on whether to also european union to extend the brakes a deadline the country set to leave the e.u. on march twenty ninth on wednesday and rejected the prospect of leaving the e.u. without ever drawn agreement. and rescue and recovery efforts are still ongoing in the nigerian city of lagos ofter a three story building collapsed on wednesday at least eight people have been

killed the building had apartments and a primary school on the top floor. now saudi arabia is set to defend its human rights record at the united nations the kingdom has faced criticism over the killing of journalist. and jailing of women's rights activists saudi arabia will lay out what it's done to improve human rights to me its international obligations let's get more from parker who joins us now live from geneva so as we are saying there saudi arabia in the spotlight can you give us more context to this. yes that's right somebody has about twenty minutes in which it sets out exactly what improvements it's made what recommendations it's responded to when it comes to improving human rights within the country that declaration has just started to be read out now by the head of the saudi delegation just the tree

a few seconds before you came to me he did refer to the jamal khashoggi case directly saying this that saudi arabia is horrified by the unfortunate quote accident that led to the death of jamal khashoggi and that saudi arabia has taken great steps to investigate this crime the saudis have been under immense pressure internationally to cooperate with the u.s. led investigation into the saudi journalists death this statement comes a week after thirty six different members of the human rights council joined forces and issued a blistering statement condemning saudi's treatment of detained activists in the country specifically women's rights activists that report named several women directly and urged the country to do more to protect those who have worked tirelessly to impede proof human rights many of whom according to human rights

organizations have faced torture have faced sexual abuse to face electric electrocution also imprisoned as well in saudi the head of the delegation said that in response to allegations of secret detention centers in saudi said that there are no secret detention centers and when it comes to combating terrorism and the financing of terrorism everything will be done within the legislative framework of the country perhaps the reason why such a blistering report was given last week where pretty much every single e.u. nation joined forces to condemn saudi is largely out of a feeling that for far too. long the country has been able to bury to hide to obfuscate some of its alleged human rights abuses within the council itself largely because the country has quite a large number of diplomatic friends but it is now being very much forced to. some of these accusations head on and that's what we it looks like we're starting to see

here even though it is very clearly said in saudi arabia's interests to defend its position particularly when it comes to the death of jamal khashoggi he barked with the details of that critical human rights conference in geneva thank you. so fighters are still holding out against u.s. backed forces in eastern syria who are continuing that bombardment of the group's last shred of territory near the iraqi border on wednesday syrian democratic forces said as many as one thousand five hundred fighters had surrendered within a twenty four hour period coalition forces resumed a major offensive on sunday thousands of women and children have fled the fighting there or to nearby camps aid agency save the children say women and children coming out of i still held areas are in desperate conditions it says more than three thousand five hundred children of more than thirty nationalities are living in camps in northeast syria the group says most of the children don't have

enough food to eat and are at risk of infectious diseases several of them have reached the camps without their parents or anyone accompanying them and at least seventy five children have reportedly died of cold diseases and acute hunger while on their way to the camp these fifty six thousand people have been displaced in the last three months many of them are rocky sore sheltering in the whole town. sonia khush is the syria director at save the children and she says the children should be seen as victims of the conflict and should have to pay the price for the crimes of their parents. well we've seen children and their families arrive in waves and most concerning the the children that are arriving now are in worse condition than the children that arrived a few months ago we're seeing increased rate it's of malnutrition among children so these are children who need to be transferred to a hospital in order to get specialized care we're seeing increased rates of

unaccompanied children so children who have lost their parents. children are right i in the middle of the night having undergone a three hundred kilometer long tyranny they're cold they're wet they're hungry so they're really in pretty bad condition by the time they arrive at the camp we are calling for international governments to take the women and children home you know we have full faith in the desta systems of any of the countries that these women came from when you talk about france and the u.k. and belgium were very confident that if women go back they will face the proper judicial procedures that they may be required to face and most important thing for us is to get children out of these camps and into a place where they're getting proper health care where they able to recover from so much violence that they've grown up with throughout their lives you know living under isis control we want to make sure they're back in school and that they're educated in learning most of the children are coming across have never been to school ever and so it's really important for us that building and are seen as

victims of this conflict they had no role in making the decision to go to syria or to be born in syria and we think they deserve a chance at a healthy and productive life at least two hundred rightwing israeli activists have and some lost compound in the occupied east jerusalem several groups have been calling for people to gather in large numbers to quote protect what the israelis call gates of mercy and palestinians called bob hama for the first time in sixteen years palestinian worshipers were allowed to reopen the gates and pray there earlier this month it had been closed under israeli order. colombians have rallied in defense of the country's peace accord with fark rebels they say president ivan duke is trying to undermine the peace process threatening to plunge the country back into violence. has this report from bogota. as they did back in two thousand and sixteen colombians took over plausible leaver to

defend the peace accord with fired rebels which they believe the government of iran is trying to undermine doesn't that mean the cables which we fought for a very long time to get here we can go back it's been fifty years of killings killing people is hoping the strong thousands of families you want peace and reconciliation for that matter can see that so far by their god who was elected by a right wing coalition opposed to the deal announced last sunday he was between the law regulating a special tribunal known as it's tasked with judging the worst crimes committed during the civil conflict ducasse said he was seeking to revise several provisions already approved by the country's constitutional court. decided to object to six of the hundred fifty nine articles of the specials jurisdictions for peace law since i consider them convenient vide congress to debate the changes in a constructive manner. former fike rebels and members of colombia's military have

already gone before the tribunal which offers reduced penalties and sentences other than prison for those who tell the truth and compensate victims. among other provisions aims to remove sexual crimes from the tribunal's jurisdiction and create a separate system for military members responsible of crimes against humanity for opposition parties accuse the president of breaching the constitution the boys if you open the stall the risk goes beyond the functions of the tribunal we are putting at risk our democracy and the rule of law. most political analysts believe the veto will weaken distributional and their mining the transitional justice system at the heart of the accords here were not only talking about demobilize guerrillas we're talking about members of the military who have vocally expressed their desire to remain within the transitional justice system. these challenges

show that it's still far from overcoming the deep divisions surrounding the controversial peace deal signed in two thousand and sixteen the issue will most likely once again and the country's constitutional court in the meantime opposition parties are calling for a major protest against to be told mary monday i mean from that i'm just. the trial of a vietnamese woman charged with the killing of the north korean leader's half brother has been adjourned until next month prosecutors in malaysia rejected calls from vietnam for the woman's release her lawyer say she's very sleepy and in those conditions to testify. of florence has more from the courthouse and just outside of kuala lumpur. the lawyer for long said he was extremely disappointed that prosecutors had decided not to withdraw the charges against his client particularly as just

to stand trial because they are still at large having fled to malaysia just hours after kim jong nam was killed and many believe that bs for men are the ones who masterminded the killing. northern ireland's public prosecution service will announce on thursday whether it will seek prosecutions over the so-called bloody sunday killings in one nine hundred seventy two thirteen civilians died when british soldiers fart into a crowd of demonstrators in the city of london derry sonic spoke to the relatives of some of those victims. opened fire people scattered looking for shelter the last moments of jim ray's life mocked in the memory of his brother liam jim was only twenty two years old when he was killed in the one nine hundred seventy two bloody sunday massacre as a wounded. shoulders crossed the square on a very close range fired a second shot on the journey back

idea has been criticized by army veterans as well as pro british unionists who shouldn't be a particular word chant against. the section of the military given the fact that they themselves have suffered at the hands of terrorists as well so we have to look at all of those contacts there's a lot of hurt has been caused and also at almost half a century british the british army i mean people kate nash is nineteen year old brother william was killed at the march her father shot and wounded was trying to save him she hopes that justice will eventually prevail i want the word to know that my brother really was regardless of the way we were treated became a knife at the time i want to know though i want to warn to know that there you go . murder people on bloody sunday and that can only happen if prosecutions and convictions. there is also the fear that whatever the prosecutor's decision it will

a primary school on the top floor. of those are the headlines stay with us now for the news. africa's most populous nation the bloodiest economy as a youth unemployment problem in a bid to control the internet of the future some say a kind of digital i am told to this folder we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in. counting the cost is iraq. you tell us. are you ready to be scared and for me ok and you're in the stream what do you as horror film say about blackness from hollywood tropes to heroes where examining the

changing role of black characters in scary movies. the fans of fright south by southwest is the place to be that is way too scary movies us and a little monsters premieres this week my co-host of allow is staggering us a sneak peek at the films and explaining one reason they stand out in the horror genre. i'm standing outside the paramount theater here in austin texas where at the premiere of the new film us from director jordan peele of the get out you might remember that film a psychological fourth film from not too long ago this is the follow up of sorts another thrilling drama that will make you think featuring an all star cast of color stars snoopy ten young doe and winston black panther fame and showcasing

something you don't often see in horror films people of color don't die for. it's a well known cliche in slasher movies and when audiences outside the us premiere were familiar with it it's really influential to have a cast like this and that's doing serious our last film that had a cast like this was a movie of course the wayans brothers and they did a phenomenal job of making fun of how harm movies basically kill off all the african-american. leads or even supporting actors but in this film everyone was strong as a person of color i think it's very encouraging i think it's really fantastic like someone like jordan is getting a chance to tell the story of his people and from my own perspective as an arab american it just makes me wish that someone like reading about american actors would be just as visible and to me it's inspiring to know that there could be you know at some point some time in place for us to tell our stories. are careful not

to divulge any spoilers but describe the film as one that makes you think. i don't think it's insignificant who survives i think that's part of his saving. yeah i mean it's you know when they're doing the cure it's just like well it's amazing cassocks up there and yeah i just think you know there's somebody shows on netflix with more diverse cast and it's not a big deal to most of us and it's you know it's time to see. different people doing things that they would be doing you know not that this is what people are. right how could i. if it's an ad. for actress lupita nyong'o us is only one of the horror films screening at south by southwest that she stars in this year she spoke to the stream at the red carpet screening for little monsters a horror comedy in which she plays a zombie fighting school teacher i think what's this what's beautiful about both us and little monsters is that my blackness is not it's not remarkable it's just the

norm you know that there is a there is the human experience that goes beyond race and that's what these two films are about something else other than the color of skin so when we had a list of people. approached for this role my producers said look this is the opportunity to just take a swing for the francis and say you are who is the ultimate person that you would want in this role and there was no question for me it was. because she just looked if my son was stuck on a field trip and surrounded by zombies i would want to be in your anger there to protect him. i just see it as a stream austin. thanks we'll discuss why black characters have often been the first to die and how that's changing essentially is actress rachel true also out of. doom she's the executive producer of

toronto art as a documentary that examines the role of african-americans in horror films and in college station texas robin means coleman she's vice president for divesting a at texas a and m. university and author of current law blacks in american horror films which inspired the documentary hellova he's so good to have you here i want to show you something here you may have already seen it go into all this is a fish or trailer a shot of a regional high school for some of the comments i was not impressed some people don't even understand what the genre is for instance to chick black car up you don't hear people say white taurus lol conti just be horrid without an agenda good couper. think. that i want to go that bridge go oh i was going to hand it up to the professors but just say that's a real white privilege statement they made no professors take it away.

so so the book very quickly the book and the movie are real worried about recognizing african-americans in the genre it's about celebrating their presence it's about reminding us that representations don't matter this is our documentary and the book really didn't leave it is about lax contribution to john rocker. we have. folks who are saying why why blackness why do we need to talk about focus on that and that that really gestures to a colorblind statement and i am proud of my black man in my culture and the contributions we've made. and i. i bring my race with me and i think it's ok to talk about the cultural history and the racial histories that we embody but what do you think. well i think it's very easy for people who see themselves reflected in media constantly. to be sort of blind

about how much they take their programming and how meaningful it is when you do exist. and in television and also how hurtful it is when your misuse film and television and this is a lot of what hardwire gets to the heart because inevitably when you're talking about history that also includes the history where we haven't been treated so well . well and i don't have to throw in that in the documentary i talk about the line black yellow or black yellow and we need a nineteen seventies kind of dracula take with a black cast blacula turns one of his friends and then says these friends is looking in the mirror and cannot see his reflection and says what is a man if you cannot see his own reflection so for me that was very deep because as it as a black american quite often i do not see my own reflection none television when i

was younger this is important just for this one out he is from tatiana ward she's in the spy wing screenwriter she points down some of the generic counties that you might see in a horror noah as she says we've got token black friends they sacrifice themselves for the group annabel but books i am legend mystical really just characters who so purpose is to ward off would vice or they may only surface comic relief she goes on they might be most serial killer amongst a menial core entity that doomed so who are these various different characters that can be out right chil what if you found oh i listen i think the documentary hard enough. art is a great job at breaking down which stereotypes and tropes are actually true in the movies and which are not but this is the beautiful thing about the renaissance of filmmaking right now when when our story a person of color any color stories told by someone other we're going to get

a story that may not be our road so now that we have driven peel and get out and us and many many other movies we can tell our own stories and we can dispel some of these tropes because to a certain extent i have been the token friend in movies i have been a magical niekro and i have been all these things now there's little threads of those things that are actually great it's when they become. the norm in every movie that it becomes a trope so professors. know you're right and. another you know i was going to agree are absolutely right and we've seen you and other black actors struggle to sort of break out of those binds in terms of limited role limited exposure and misuse you know so that's what the horn are is about and it's also amazing to be around at this time in history to see history actually

changing. and the idea and i want to add is that actors and performers you know if you're a certain extent we take the jobs we can get and if you are a black actor in one nine hundred fifty and you have to play a house servant next to a zombified haitian guy with a white glass eyes you are to a certain extent bending your own self but you are also pushing things forward so it is an interesting position to peer knowing you are further outro and yet if you didn't do it there would be zero representation ok so ladies let me let me introduce you to a cliff notes i have a right to any musician and he talks about what it means that our new law can bring to the genre of filmmaking how to look what i've learned about marketing or just general storytelling is that us is people don't like to be told something we

don't want to be told. that something is happening we we have a much stronger connection to something when we feel like we've come up with that idea on our own so with using horror you're able to force people to think about oh this is terrible this is something as awful and horrific as a micro gresham in a film might get out and be able to. extend that metaphor throughout the film and really get people to understand what it's like to be black in these worlds so this idea that black film can teach us something about the black experience can you take us a little bit further with that tonight. well horror is the perfect genre to try to encapsulate it's certainly the african-american experience and really the the african experience around the diaspora in places where we were brought in voluntarily and places where we're not treated well my late mother patricia stevens

do as a civil rights activist and introduced me to her i think in part because she experienced the trauma of state violence as a civil rights activist in the one nine hundred sixty s. she had tear gas thrown at her and had sensitive egalite for the rest of her life so this is very real trauma and i think my mother and a lot of our mothers frankly and fathers learn to see their horrors on film even when they were black dracula could be the monster but it helps you extract some of that trauma base it and maybe even overcome it but certainly learn how to maybe survive better against it robin will live on you tube right now i know this film is very close to a hot elizabeth things they set up she tells that night of the living dead she says it was revolutionary in that respect of reflecting black culture the black experience and also its comment on racial strunk chad tell us about your connection to night of the living dead and then what it teaches us.
