been a panic and the market and the currency would have. fanned so frankly we have actually tried drool you know man in those days. for friendly countries one former prime minister no why should he was jailed for corruption and many other senior political figures space dried falling rupee against the us dollar has had a knock on effect on commodity prices the government has taken some unpopular differ. but it is necessary in order to stabilize the economy however folk can do much. paying far more for less but the opposition say the government is incompetent and richter maging members of the former government it's very clear to us that it is it is political victimization because accountability to be legitimate has to be across the board they're making pakistan authoritarian they

a customer and. i mean that's a real. cyclists have to stop and there was actually a argument the rolling blackouts that south africans across the country are experiencing a little while was a time of the it was since two thousand and eight looking back to the small businesses who need these little savings simply gone a little with the loss of hope and interest in our show the electricity provider is called little by at least one thousand five hundred percent of our use of everything other pollutants blamed a number of issues the cost of building nuclear power was stations the cost of all of it would you supply is one is the line. people here say well they won't except those excuses and some of the people. with the headlines on al jazeera venezuela's been hit by another electricity blackout this week the power outage on friday night left the capital caracas in the

dark as well as several other major cities many regions are barely recovering from the blackouts. us president donald trump is threatening to close the border with mexico or at least large parts of it he says will happen next week if mexico doesn't stop people from crossing into the u.s. . and we have the weakest the most pathetic laws number one congress has to act and number two mexico and make so much money from the united states and so many other things so many other assets they have to grab it and they have to stop it we have right now two big caravans coming up from guatemala massive caravans walky right through mexico so mexico is tough they can stop them but they chose not to now they're going to stop them and if they don't stop them with closing the border they will close if they were closed for a long time i'm not playing games mexico has to stop it. no well you're.

full of essentialist i'm not going to start an argument over this i'm going to be very cautious due to a series of circumstances a long time because we want to lead a very good relationship with the government of the united states. hundreds of thousands of algerians have been taking part in protests against the government's friday saw the largest demonstrations in six weeks many are calling for the resignation of president bush a flicker and an overhaul of the entire political system government and aid agencies are struggling to contain an outbreak of cholera in mozambique following the devastating sight it's been confirmed one hundred thirty nine people have the disease and more are expected a vaccination campaign targeting eight hundred thousand people will begin next week cycling it i left a trail of destruction in three southern african countries killing more than seven

hundred people well those are the headlines join me here for more news after a talk to al jazeera to stay with us. is going through some unprecedented changes from the saudi u.a.e. led war in yemen to the conflict in syria and protests in algeria. the arab league will hold its thirtieth summit in the two museum capital tunis after a nearly eight year absence will syria return to the league join us for up to date coverage and in-depth analyses. my. god i. was nearly sixty years after steve international has campaigned for a world where everyone enjoys rights living free from discrimination and

persecution where people have freedom of choice of expression. and it was founded by british lawyer peter benenson who organized a letter writing campaign to release political prisoners that simple concept grew to become a global movement which works in one hundred fifty countries demanding governments and organizations and injustices but this champion of human rights is itself guilty of some of those very abuses an independent report commissioned by amnesty found some of its staff have been the victims of bullying discrimination and abuses of power the damning report says amnesty has a toxic working culture that management routinely use bullying and public humiliation thirty nine percent of staff have developed mental or physical issues because of working that sixty five percent don't believe their wellbeing is a priority for the state and that the findings could fundamentally jeopardize

amnesties mission so how can i hold governments to account when some of its own workers feel abused as it lost credibility and is it fit for purpose they are key questions for amnesties new secretary general appointed last year and now could mean i do talks to al-jazeera my. community thank you for talking to al-jazeera thank you for human rights violations bullying sexism racism abuses of power injustices you work so hard to exposing corrupt organizations governments and yet injustices that amnesty itself has now been found guilty of in this very shocking very damning very critical report has honestly fall into the lowest point in its history do you think. the challenge that amnesty country faces is based on four things one the fact that our mission that we worked for was to offer commit to two while we're winning battles

we are losing the war and that contributes to the very kind of stressful environment because all the folks that work at amnesty a passionate committed wanting to make big can and they also understand that you know while we were winning yeah and the important battles they can see that human rights is keeping away from us the second problem is our organization set up in one hundred sixty one as added one day of complexity off to the other it has it's evolved and to be honest we need a complete reorganizing because in fact the very structure of the embassy right now is a source of certain conflicts and tensions that we need to fix gently the problem is our culture we have a culture where we need to be to have a much higher levels of trust because you see this thing where you come to amnesties are you working for human rights like for example i was in a car city with a team of colleagues you know what you see the is so horrific the impacts that you

have on you as a person i mean i like other stuff had to go for counseling and so on and we came out after seeing mass graves and so on but in that environment there's almost a sense like you know the cause is so important so you put every thing then you cut a little bit of commas yet in the ne think it's ok and what we're saying is moving forward it's not ok that we actually don't take our internal wellbeing as much as we fight on the outside and of course within that there's into individual failure as well and this is reported suspicion before i chill and i'm glad that the board in my plea desists made a commitment to make it publicly available and for amnesty just one case of racism or sexism is one case too many sixty five percent. staffie responded in this report say they don't believe their wellbeing is a priority for the state they say there's a toxic working environment first you know one percent of staff say they've

developmental fiscal issues because of working amnesty and not just because of the human suffering they experience but because of the working culture itself how damaging is this report to amnesty credibility surely it's very difficult for you to hold others to account to hold them to high standards to criticize them when so many of your star feel that they are like victims absolutely it is very somber and painful bleeding as a new person coming on board it was very difficult to read this over i think now we must be judged by how we move forward and how we address it and the first thing is i think it was really important that my colleagues on the senior leadership team reflected. on all the reasons that contributed to this and as i say it was not just individual failure it was systemic and structural reasons as well and i don't know if any other sort of situation where entire cabin the entire.

management of any company where people reflected off of the collective apology took their responsibility and offered to step aside and that's just happened as an act of continuity that's the first step we're now investing moving forward in terms of at length of well being interventions to ensure that there's proper safeguarding there is adequate support for people who reach fundable positions and so on i'm not saying it's going to be easy for us to recalibrate and move forward with the healing approach if you want but the commitment is there from myself the board and all parts of the organization and we are focused on acting on it now just to be clear this report we didn't didn't need to make it public it could have been held privately and so on i don't think any could have because the decision was made before me it was the right thing. as an organization that work in the public interest we said if we are judging others we need to say where we have failed so that we can learn from it and move forward to address it in the sea this way it's

not going to be overnight but i'm quite convinced that in a short space of time with the kind of commitment i've seen in all parts of the organization to improve wellbeing as well as improving our capability to win bigger battles faster i am cautiously confident that within a year we will be able to turn things around quite substantially that's quite a quick turnaround quick timetable a year to sort out what the report said what tensions that existed long before the restructuring program of amnesty yes we're not getting in the past few days like that or not one you want sort of getting out but but you know the term toxic is quite a loaded word i think within a year i want that word off the table but that doesn't mean we won't have to do some really difficult work around asking. is a structure that was set up in one in sixty one that element in twenty nineteen is going to be no and then it is how can we make the structure more lighter more

nimble more people friendly and you see what has happened is because the stakes of what higher and higher in human rights and as we see. you know countries like the united states that were on the positive side of human rights and now like one of the worst countries in some ways when you see all of these things happening it is saying to us that we have to be willing to do things differently we must be willing to question current ways of operating and all of that is going to take moral courage it's going to take people who might have held or parts of the organization that might have held power in the particularly it are we have to be willing to now look at how do we bring different parts of the organization closer together because part of what is happening is the is quite a high level of conflict and it's something unique to end the state by the way and that some of the conflict is almost structurally. defined meaning that if you

add a particular job with a particular role at the moment the way restructured it could put you in conflict with three or four different parts of the nation we need to clean all of that up and i am going to try my best to convince people to come up with a model cottage in all parts of the movement that we look at people failure of course we're human beings people make mistakes. that's going to be the easiest spot to sort out the more difficult it's going to be the structure the culture and so on and as we enter a new strategy process we have mining ourself of what they say that your culture and your structure can each a strategy for breakfast so we we have to address so the question of structural and cultural change as well as ensuring that our managers are better trained to provide the kind of well being and care for the very passionate talented committed stuff that we have an amnesty it seems in some ways. you're going to actually have to be quite ruthless in what you do with amnesty to make it fit for purpose i wouldn't use the word ruthless a poll and that's not in my nature. i think we have to be bold

courageous. take into account you know for example what einstein said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results the stakes are extremely high right now we have you know the climate scientists saying that we've got twelve years to get emissions to peak and start coming down we have to be willing to change to be fit for purpose but i do not believe that it is necessary for us to make those changes in a way where you brutal and you don't have a sense of humanity in the way you do it i think yes sometimes change is what actually always changes painful but i think we can do change in a way that is respectful that is you main and he's putting the humanity of everybody that is involved in the process you know at the center of how we make change happen i mean just from your perspective one of the key problems we still feeling like this is that how can they go out and challenge others who obviously

feels have been guilty of human rights violations when they themselves have as i say in this report they've been frightened to actually say what's going on in their own organization that must be pretty troubling well just to be clear about it for amnesty. when we look at the report or the reports. people with felt free to speak in the reports we could to the safe space and i think that was a positive i think this was a problem that was left to string for decades right and the fact that. we say that the time has come now for us to actually look at ourselves internally we cannot simply be looking at external weaknesses on the part of government business and so on because we want to as gun one gun he said be the change we want to see in the world so i would urge not to see it as that this is like

a massive issue within the organization like for example with the cases yes and i'm privy to a confidential report which which documents particular cases names and so on and i'm going through each one of them and i want to assure people that you know for example you know the speculation about how bad it is is this sexual harassment there which there isn't and so on but i think the approach as the leadership of. amnesty at the board level and so on that given our values given what we stand for one case or two cases of racism or sexism or bullying. one case too many and therefore we and then i've been in an amnesty for six months not right and i can tell you i've not seen the case of bullying in six months i've not seen it you know doesn't mean it's not have you know absolutely absolutely and

that's part of what we have done through this process which is we've created a context now way with david's in the organization people are free and i encourage to actually come forward and report and so on and i've said if people feel that they cannot report to their manager have a law that it to level that people can come straight to me and a few people have come to me but they've what's positive for me is that most of the people that have reached out to me have reached out with solutions you know they've named a particular issue and people have quite a you know a structural and systemic way of analyzing it not only saying well somebody's an individual made in it but. to understand people also looking at why individual good people make bad it has and that's something we need to have the honesty to be able to do seven of your senior leadership team have offered to resign will you accept the resignation firstly i think i want to acknowledge that this was an act of courage on my colleagues it was not easy to do for them to do it collectively and

so on. and and i and i think that people in other sectors in government and business must look at this as an example that they could emulate i will not accept all the resignations because firstly it's very important to note that all the various reports and all of the not find individual accountability in the sense no individual there were acts committed but the culture it was the culture and these folks obviously in edited the culture it wasn't them that created it so i would not accept all the nations i would make my decisions based on. the structure that we knew would need more moving forward and for those. offers that i do decide to accept i will do it in a thoughtful considered phased way so that it does not impact on our operational capacity and what but certainly we want to send a signal that we are going to refresh our leadership team as we move forward and

the structure will look different and ultimately the composition look different as well critics say that amnesty isn't careful enough about the company that it keeps back in twenty ten before your time against us a hell who was the head of the gender unit that was suspended after she urged honesty not to work with the organization prisoners on the former guantanamo detainee was i'm back here in london saying he is quote britain's most famous supporter of the taliban she also said the alliance undermined campaign for women's rights seventy years later honesty finally cut those ties with kate. in your opinion is honesty too careless about its associations and again you know risking its credibility because of. all the details of this as you say before my time let me just say that amnesty is when i have first they stopped us and we need a bigger more bolder and more inclusive human rights movement the more inclusive

challenge is that we have to work with a wild wide every off actors some in government some in business and the example you give is within civil society we cannot seek to have one hundred percent agreement with every organization that we partner with our that we do expect that the people we partner with we need to have a broad sharing of values while we might disagree on specific. policies so for example i would say that with the religious leaders for example. you know religious leaders are doing some really good work right now on climate change on refuse g.'s and so on and i do not think it is a problem for us to get in fact i would encourage us to engage with the faith community on that doesn't mean that we with everybody in the faith community fit community of course is divided on issues such as. rights or

a woman's right to choose and so on the different opinions within the faith community and but because we have the disagreement i do not think we should not have principled alliance that on it is we i mean said that. this is not a perfect science. because organizations. that you might enter into a partnership at the beginning might be. you know working on certain things and when the tissue changes and so on the organization my transform this is something that we have to be much more vigilant about but i am saying that we rather take. approach that we have to work with others but make sure that we have very clear principles in the principles that we have these for example ensuring that a partnership is increasing all we impact our possibility of impact ensuring that there's a values commonality and also things like sometimes we might not into

a partnership not because we have a disagreement on values or policy but because by us entering into a partnership we put a human rights activists on the threat because amnesty and sing into a partnership by you know. raise the risk levels for four person working in the place of environment and the other problem of course is you rely don't you honestly support if you. associate yourselves with people who those supporters feel do you damage credibility they're going to melt away only then i'm not going to be that person will so strongly about and they did this to case i felt very strongly about it nerves to be and i mean you know sometimes of course our supporters also feel strongly that one town i'm a baby was an abomination that it was a violation of international law and still is and so on so it is a you know it's sometimes not as black and white it's not like you're making and and we've learned from this and i can assure you that we will be vigilant about how

we apply our approach to building a more inclusive movement that. that has certain clear principles that guide people to seventy honesty is of course a non governmental organization but it does accept money from governments the quote projects to educate people on communities about their human rights sounds a little bit vague how can we be sure that honesty doesn't actually be. how to pressure to spend that cash purely on projects that said government approves of well firstly just to assure your viewers that we are the ever take any money from governments ninety percent of the resources that amnesty uses comes from individual citizens around the world where the average donation being five dollars a month we think that the sponsibility of human rights education should be responsibility of government our governments have signed it is un protocols

universal declaration of human rights and multiple other human rights international frameworks and it is their responsibility to educate this citizens as to what they have signed up to and to ensure that you know we don't have the end normally like we have for example in the nordic countries right you know the nordic countries seem at the moment correctly that their leaders are gender equality but i've just come from denmark and finland with that we pledge a solution does not include constant so with a woman gives consent or not for somebody to be accused and convicted of rape they must have used violence and with the woman said yes or no and that's why we've launched this campaign let's talk about yes and sweden only changed the law last year and we are now in the process of hopefully getting denmark and finland to do so in the next coming you know coming months but should not be completely separate

from amnesty should she be taking the government's money for those educational projects that should the government not be doing not as a as a separate project and being completely separate non-government yes it is quite surprising you know governmental to be meant no nothing no in vogue only just to be clear that most non-governmental organizations in the world are taking money from government business. amnesty actually takes very little money and there's a very high threshold. guidelines policy and and really when i say ninety percent comes from individual citizens and the ten percent where does the ten percent come from that really comes from primarily foundations and trusts which meet fairly high ethical standards and there's absolute transparency on every single grant that we have it's you know vailable in a website we reported and you need to the global assembly and so on and we have at

range of. safeguard procedures so for example if somebody wants to give anonymous donation. we would accept if people wanted to but we wouldn't. can place any conditions on it. and i mean nobody can place conditions on ground unless it fits in with what we had really and there's a commonality and we signed an agreement with the foundation which is working in the same area we also ensure that there's a third party even if you cation the can do deal diligence is done i have to tell you it's very complex that it takes a lot of time it sometimes means that we lose grants that we need i think the important thing that people need to know is that we in a very difficult situation and i if you just take one company let's take shell for example but where we various issues would show especially at our house slowly the withdrawing out of fossil fuels but if you look at shell and you look at child's

marketing budget a lot. that is left ten times the size of all of the amnesty entity's out on the world's resources and in that context with the information environment within which we operate is so complex and difficult to get on message across we need to recognize that organizations like amnesty are actually fighting a really happy old struggle to get our message is out and so i make no apologies of saying to individual citizens around the world and this to belongs to people it was set up by ordinary people join us if you do and the other important thing is i say it's not just about money for me right now i would say if we're going to build a strong amnesty we need to recognize that people contribute in terms of voice is just as important and you know in terms of whatever financial contribution they can make and that is why at the moment we have a huge emphasis on c.v.s.

league lowering our supporter base from eight million to twenty five million over the next. players even take money from lotteries which is essentially a form of gambling and are you comfortable with us as well a few cases. these. trees which stand to be sort of unconventional in the sense they are based on your postal code and it was set up for charitable purposes and there are two cases where we do and i understand there were debates on it and there are a range of other international and so i think we we we made the decision to do the systolic you before my time not. in isolation but it in charging that was there was a group of like minded and jews that in fact some of them contributed setting it up in holland and in sweden i believe it's probably a fair question to ask but i think from what i understand that as much due
