fifty centimeters of snow from this system so that would cause a fair amount of disruption that system only slowly edges its way northward as we head through the day on choose say to the south of all of that is looking a lot quieter for many of us here will get to around twenty four degrees and here in doha we should be back to business as usual as well as some of the dust should have cleared the winds will be firing down from the northwest twenty five degrees will be our maximum temperature on monday and no massive change as we head into tuesday further south it looks fine and settle for since the lower rather humid there and a temperature of thirty degrees down to a southern parts of africa we've still got the remains of all cycling with us today here and there still giving us some very very heavy downpours so we're expecting more in the way of flooding rains here they could be more in the way of landslides as well because this system is sticking around even as we head through the day on choose day so yet more wet weather falling on already saturated and flooded grounds it does look like it'll be a pretty messy day. they

position demanding that president trump continue to investigate jamal khashoggi is murder and also to impose sanctions against those who are held accountable this president trump has refused to do the latest reports it may well be brushed away by the president but will not be brushed off by congress which is likely to use this as further ammunition to continue to put pressure on the president to take some form of action for the murder of jamal khashoggi which this report indicates was not an isolated incident but part of a widespread campaign. and is executive director of the arab center of washington he says the report highlights the inconsistency is in the saudi government's narrative. i think it's a very significant revelation in the sense that it puts in context the murder of.

this was not. pretended at least for a while by saudi officials that it was totally isolated and a mistake clearly it's not isolated and neither was it a mistake it was part of a covert campaign that started more than a year before the murder of an involved at least a dozen of and siddons according to this excellent report by the by the new york times different operations and different countries as your report just indicated that include that sort of valence kidnap torture or forcible repatriation to the kingdom detention illegally in other words administrative detention without charges and abuse of prisoners this is very significant information and put the basically puts the murder in historical context. the israeli

another vehicle which was abandoned was then apparently taken by this individual he drove it southwest and fired on a bus stop where another israeli soldier was wounded that vehicle then discovered in or near the city the village of burkean palestinian village of booking further southwest that became the center of a pretty major israeli military operation as houses were searched and the focus of this search was undertaken there were reports in the palestinian media as well that there was an exchange of gunfire at one stage there this military operation extended well beyond that village though checkpoints were set up illegal settlements were closed down for some time as were some other palestinian villages the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said that the perpetrator or perpetrators of this attack will be captured and the justice will be brought to them there have been celebration events that have taken place in gaza where hamas

and islamic jihad have both welcomed the news of this attack there also be tensions that erupted elsewhere in the occupied west bank with settlers stoning palestinian vehicles and homes currently this major military operation is still ongoing. israel's supreme court has banned the leader of a far right party from running in next month's elections it says mike called of the jewish power party and science of racism against palestinians the decision overturns a ruling by israel's election committee called also reinstated israeli palestinian parties which has been disqualified. if you know piers transport minister says there are clear similarities between last weekend's ethiopian airlines plane crash and the lion air disaster in indonesia in october both involve boeing seven three seven max craft a mass funeral service is being held for some of the victims of last sunday's crash

. thousands of mourners in ethiopia has kept this accompanied seventeen empty caskets draped in their national flag relatives of the one hundred fifty seven passengers and crew who died being given bags of earth from the crash site instead of remains d.n.a. identification process could take up to six months. from addison. grieving families of some of the one hundred fifty seven victims of ethiopian airlines flight three hundred to. mourn the loss of their loved ones. arriving at this field where remnants of the allies true not around brings it all home to. the airline officials say they haven't found even a single body intact just body parts which would make that id process took awhile.

ethiopian airlines didn't give us anything they told us to wait until thursday we waited and thursday came they are now saying they couldn't find anything i wish they told us that they found nothing in the first place this is major greek heavy we came into handed and we're going back empty handed. they're boring seven three seven max eight and i went down at eight forty four am on sunday shortly after takeoff from the capital addis ababa and through tonight will be in neighboring kenya person just from more than thirty countries were on board this is the time of crisis in ethiopia the airline is a symbol of pride and if europeans have thrown their full support behind it to paralyze small talk from since i was a small boy it was brilliant africa together. and that's why they have been doing for seventy five years laughter and evidence that the cross has done little to scare people away from the airline can be seen

a couple mushrooming hotels there teeming with passengers in transit that's a didn't happen here it's like india that's in that happens with i don't know i would say you know s.p.c.s. not just enough to cut a globally we have those records of us interacting so as a lawyer travel law and i use that if you've been in l.a. that has not affected my view or perspective. if european airlines has expanded its fleet to one hundred and eleven planes it now flies to one hundred six international and twenty three domestic distillations beyond its almost professionals the airline also also for the nine per cent stake in malawi alliance and forty five percent stake in zambia airways what ethiopian is doing is abi trawick corporate governance they're basically coming in to a failed business which is not failed because there was not demand there's demand that passengers want to fly out of these countries so you've got the demand the

willing to pay but the issue has been the mismanagement of those airlines in countries so actually it's buying up cheap assets with strong demand and making it work i think it's a great strategy. back at the crash site walk us continue the search for debris and remain so for those who perished in the crush these windswept filled one continued to be an international crime scene for a long time to come. out of well just zita addis ababa ethiopia. well first of the political prisons prisoners rather appalled by the democratic republic of congo's new presidents have been released from jail phoenix just ahead the promised about seven hundred prisoners most of whom were jailed under the previous regime would be free during his first one hundred days in office got there lopez all day on reports was frank dion go spent two and a half years in kinshasa central prison was he is one of three prominent opposition

a mass funeral service meanwhile for victims of last sunday's crash. it's one on one east now stay with the government you support are believed to have detained maybe a million people in reeducation camps certainly not grabbing headlines in china only in a while kings of the people's republic that's probably not best just to dismiss everything as propaganda to use propaganda because your abrasive aggressive way of addressing a man to his son challenges chinese finance yet charles leaves you with something critical of president chiluba i said this would not be regarded well by the western press caught up head to head on al-jazeera. they left their home seeking sanctuary in australia but instead speak is detained on minute silence

a tiny speck in the pacific ocean. now the refugees are forging new lives in north america when i want to joins them on their explored unary journey towards freedom. promise morning. very close to me. this is a mere. emerald getting on a boat is what put these young men on man a silent today we're going to take them offered. this is the beginning of my journey with twenty four year old amir touhey a christian convert from iran and iran mohamad age twenty three a minority regime whose fled post secu sion in me an ma.

after four years in detention then now permitted to move around menace the controversial detention center is being closed down now the island is their prison bot there's one other spot the refugees can visit. and there he saw the boys once in a town and told them you know if you want to have felt to have been in a bit of pain they can just come in here and relax you know nobody is going to stay here. says. the. mandolin at all just off mannus is where the refugees see a different side to p. and g. . the island's custody and lets asylum seekers stay here for

free he says losing his arm in a fishing accident has told him to be sympathetic when they come or what they may do will come to him and laid them down like me but because they have a problem in the country or source so that's why. they didn't come over here to my place that's why i like them. and that is most of em ron's experiences on menace haven't pain so positive. when i interned in the center i saw people who were depressed and people were housed and the man away yearly. let's try to i knew this going to be bad i'm not here to be processed i'm here to be tortured.

imran odyssey began aged just sixteen escaping persecution in me and for malaysia he was in succession held hostage by people smugglers in immigration detention in indonesia for almost two years and after a boat trip to christmas island was detained and transported here i was treated like animals in many places i was bitten by burley's. i have experienced things in life that i shouldn't have been in my own life. you talk my. destroy and it has destroyed my strand as a human being. the and the clown from.

the. south was the heir own son of the. unknowing converted to christianity always a lot of stubborn person and i like to question things always start to question things and because i was a very own person i started questioning from the few food that i wasn't supposed to do that any caused me troubles dad i was almost getting killed the the whole over the end the media left iran as a fourteen year old boy to live in malaysia. and you know image we have a brother. amir we're happy to have because it's converted into.

a believe it's christian. fearing he'd be imprisoned after his malaysian student fazer expired amir also boarded a people smuggler boat headed for christmas island i had seen people getting on these boards i had seen these boats that they were leaky boats i had seen them looking terrible and terrifying and i had no options i had to take. to twenty thirteen more than the thousand asylum seekers who had perished at sea including many aboard despite smashed upon the rocks of christmas island

fit amelia and jim rohn arrived safely here after this tragedy but in one sense their timing couldn't have been worse for. landing just after the labor government declared that all future boat arrivals would never be settled in a strike. by joint thirteen hundred other single men on mannus crammed into a center that previously housed three hundred fifty it compounds just like a chicken house and they would throw people in there and they would lock these doors chains locks fences everywhere and all of them are guarded you can't leave you can go anywhere. anywhere you want to go you have to be escorted. another detainees secretly filmed the media for this guided tour of life on the

inside. you see most of everyone is covered a bit because one of the most important they should be for these because of the crap is because too many people get. pleasure out of the model model out of all i know not all over for use on a mere witnessed riots beatings and the shooting attack by drunken soldiers. no no. we saw people dying we saw people scrolling on the ground for pain of seeing people pulling out their own teeth. i've seen people cutting they're next. and. many other things this is for years was always always always a great trauma that i could. i can never forget.

the only why out was a ticket to the homelands that had fled all resettlement in pay and jeanne. behind the scenes and unusual refugee deal was being broken in twenty sixth in the us a grade to resettle up to twelve hundred asylum seekers from menace and nauru in america. it's nearly six months since i met him and dimmers despite president trumps reluctance the us refugee deal is still on the y. but the details arrive pike. small groups of men are being flown from mannus to p. and g.'s capital port moresby. some nationalities iranians and somalis are

rejected but for the lucky ones there is a new life in america and we get a tip off that imran may be among them. the men are taken to a motel under heavy guard australian border force officers have told p n g security not to let us film. it was. because it was not. as big as actions were maybe a bit it is doesn't excuse me but i would also hold our cameras anyway doubledecker on my face so that. we eventually confirm that imran is here. and finally after six long months waiting in port most be

a decision. this time there are no gods or handcuffs this time iran won't be flying as a prisoner i'm going through our. interview and i am. very sorry. he doesn't quite believe it until the boarding pass is in his hands destination america.

it's autumn in canada and on the vancouver waterfront residents embrace the vivid change of season. and this place was never in any resettlement plan and i'm surprised to be here. bottom of the thirteen hundred men on nonis once tenacity and good luck has meant he's managed to buck the system. after a secretive application process emilio was granted protection in canada. this is where i can now. if i call it al house on menace through force of personality and a good command of english a mean.
