a life sentence to be yorkie because it would be punishment for my cranes being alive is not lucky i kneel in front of the hat and beg forgiveness this form of reconciliation is one of many initiatives aimed at trying to ensure peace could be permanent but not everyone is as forgiving as alice. and andrew joins us live now from kigali under there were some extraordinary pictures in your report this is a very dark chapter in rwanda's history give us a sense of the atmosphere as the country prepares to mark the twenty fifth anniversary. yes daryn right now people really are looking deep into their souls reflecting on what happened trying to make sense of it still and of course those you saw in that report feel that it's doesn't really feel like twenty five years it feels to some like yesterday what is starting now is a process a timeline if you will which will lead to sunday and quick

buka which is. in the round rwandan language the whole period of mourning it will last one hundred days it starts on sunday with the a gathering a large gathering at the memorial sites moving from there to the convention center around six heads of states will be there they'll be a speech by the president pool gama and they will then move on to a series of other events and there will be a vigil over night to start the period of mourning people are determined to get through this as have a with a positive frame of mind at the end of it but it is colossal rwanda is a very different type of african country it's small the people are very orderly it was no sense of chaos here the president gummi has done an incredible job with the

economy direct foreign investment the highest in africa there is also a very high number of women in parliament in the highest in africa one of the highest in the world but also there's a control visit with cook army who is still in power after he returned to the capital here with the patriotic front the rwandan patriotic front to stop the genocide but he's in been in power ever since three presidential terms and a controversial extension to his presidency which goes on indefinitely and andriy is there any specific theme to this year's events. yes there is the theme is remember unites re new but there's also a specific targeting of the younger generation those who weren't there who were not

privy to the awful events of nine hundred ninety four those who are learning from their parents but also getting both sides from hutus and from tutsis trying to understand what the legacy is of what happened of course one of the biggest things really what strikes you is looking back on it all not just the mistakes that were made by the international community should be controversial but the level of. hate communications the the the way the the the the whole violent atmosphere was whipped up through a radio station through terms such as cockroaches this sort of inhuman approach to mankind that just morphed into a wholesale whole scale. massacre now what people are worried about now internationally and rwandans are not just looking inwards they're looking outwards what has the world learned from this because we see examples of hate hate

mail hate communications all over the world in many many political instances but just remember this that this happened in the days when there was just a radio communications and word of mouth think of it now with modern communications with the internet with social media how quickly and how much more lethal it could be in any setting this sort of ethnic division this sort of level of hatred or writer under simmons' there in kigali in rwanda under a thank you for that. our time for short break your knowledge is there i when we come back some unexpected effects of climate change we'll tell you what's happening to millions of children in bangladesh plus. a view from belgium to children born to mixed race couples we'll tell you why more nuts things.

we've got more unsettled weather coming into western parts of europe but it will cheer up it will improve in woman physical on through the weekend what's the class streaming in here once again long line eclat there you can see just stretched out to the north sea coming down through the low countries and pushing down towards the alps temperatures in london paris getting up to around thirteen or fourteen degrees but more like it or thirteen celsius there for madrid some heavy rain some windy weather coming in across the iberian peninsula not too clever his similar temperature there for vienna and again the recent cloud and right around to push a little further east we're getting into the teens book rest at seventeen celsius along with warsaw but still hanging on to that ninety degrees for the time being we go on into a sats day in the right starts to peter out for those central areas at least we'll see some wet weather just tucking into a good parts of greece easing over towards that western side of. the wet weather

there just around the gnc is still a little the steps and of course the iberian peninsula had better in terms of the weather for london and also for paris but a cool easterly wind just rolling in here we come down into north africa some rather heavy rain for a time we even cross northern most parts that will gravity clear away to the east. part.

and to their families for the injustice and suffering they went through i also wish to express all our compassion for the african mothers whose children were torn or wiped from them is the whole. of a shoe. a moment of vindication for victims but the healing is far from over children born to a belgian settler and congolese mother in the one nine hundred forty s. and fifty's were forcefully taken from their african homes often the men denied fathering the children belgium ran colonies in what's now wanda barun d.n.d. or congo interracial marriage was banned and mixed children were openly rejected about twenty thousand children are believed to have been sent to belgium schools in orphanages run by the catholic church some were denied nationality. then to go to court here. i'm very moved because after all these years the prime minister

recognised what we have been through it's a recognition of what the belgian state and the church did to us they took part of our identity away now they have admitted that mistake i feel better now. belgium is recognizing with its brutal past up until recently billions africa museum concentrated on the country's colonial rule it reopened last year focusing instead on a critical view of its colonial abuses syria. while the prime minister's apology does not undo the years of pain and abuse some of the victims say it's a step in the right direction cuts e.l.o. personal jaan al-jazeera. this trainee a man accused of attacking two mosques in new zealand has been ordered to undergo a psychiatric assessment to see fit for trial brenton tarrant made his second court appearance on friday he's been charged with fifty counts of murder and thirty nine of attempted murder following last month's attacks in the city of christchurch or

deliver things for korea companies there are of course security concerns about having so much more data and access points to it you just have to look at the contriver see over chinese manufacturing while away and concerns about it controlling infrastructure for five g. in places like the u.s. and elsewhere but certainly here in south korea at the guy. evelyn believes that five g. is essential for the country to keep its economic competitiveness and as far as the consumers are concerned they believe they need five g. and they need it now. time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera forces supporting the un backed government have been deployed to defend libya's capital its troops loyal to the warlord anything have to move towards the city dozens of fighters some have towns forces have surrendered in zawiya about fifty kilometers west of tripoli more than forty military vehicles were seized the united nations security council will hold

a lot of welcome to the program has a secret if iran develops a nuclear bomb we will follow suit that was the warning from saudi crown prince muhammad bin sandman last year today the kingdom may be a few months away from completing its first nuclear reactor and some arms control experts are launched now these photos published by different media show the reactor site in the king abdul aziz city for science and technology on the outskirts of riyadh construction is apparently nearly done around a vessel believed to contain atomic fuel saudi arabia is yet to sign up to the international framework that seeks to ensure tomic programs are not used to build weapons and it hasn't adopted rules allowing inspectors to look at sites saudi arabia has been open about its ambitions to have a nuclear plant that it says is for civilian purposes this is what the saudi energy ministry had to say in

a statement the facilities purpose is to engage in strictly peaceful scientific research educational and training acting. he's in full compliance with international agreements the reactor is being built for transparency and the kingdom has signed all international nonproliferation treaties and this is what the saudi energy minister said in twenty seventeen when he was asked about the kingdom's plans to develop nuclear energy plants not only are we not interested anyway to go to nuclear technology to military you we are. very active. in non related action by others and we are extremely. buyout of states especially in the region but even beyond that is the time to develop the . potentially nuclear weapons and study arabia's program has come under increased scrutiny since it was revealed the us said u.s.

energy secretary rick perry authorized american companies to share sensitive nuclear information with saudi arabia perry reportedly said in a document the firms had requested the deals be kept secret a u.s. congressional watchdog is investigating the white house's talks with riyadh on sharing nuclear technology the united states has been competing with south korea france russia and china to help build reactors in saudi arabia became them is planning to build a least two reactors and is expected to announce the winner later this year. well let's bring in our pound now to talk more about this joining us from here in doha is it a home for i have associate professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute and from to iran saying stuff or session professor of journalism at the fars media faculty under the applied sciences university and from washington d.c.

mark fitzpatrick director of the nonproliferation program at the international institute for strategic studies good to have you all with us so it really let me start with you then what do you make of this development are the saudis. going to use nuclear u.s. nuclear energy info to get nuclear weapons of some. expressed fear about well we are still in a very early stage about this we are talking about. development of a nuclear reactor that's not yet completed. the estimate is that it would need approximately when you have to be completed we are not talking about the major elements of such a nuclear capacity which is basically in the richmond of your any m or the reprocessing of the plutonium and the third element which is the signing

of the nonproliferation treaty you. signed in one thousand it is so it's committed to this one provision according to the treaty so with all of this is going to change the balance of power of this is going to pose a threat to iran or to israel i don't think so i think we are still in a very very early stages. needs a lot more than that in order to talk about this in nuclear capacity being a factor in the regional equation probably the only benefit that saudi arabia is benefiting from this new. now is in terms of training over human resources to say interests if this is the key is that they are receiving the training from the saudis from the american companies that are involved in this but other than that i think we are still for now looking at it in my view in terms of an attempt to

have a nuclear capacity a peaceful capacity but we are still very far away from translating this into influence politics and the balance of power in that he. mostafa question what what implications is. saudi arabia having a nuclear plant going to have for iran and particularly when so much of the focus in this region was on iran's nuclear ambitions and it was part of the reason of course that we had that international nuclear deal that was made with iran well how are they reacting to this you know of the war in states are you not entitled to develop to die you verify their you know energy programs and resources. that includes also of the nuclear energy if you are a member of the i.a.e.a.

then you are entitled to develop a civilian nuclear technology but the point here is that the saudis are no member of the i.a.e.a. they are not open to international monitoring and inspection they all are they have signed the small quantities agreement that doesn't open their facilities to international monitoring and inspection on the opposite side iran has been a member if you know of the i.a.e.a. everyone knows about it's been in full compliance with the n.p.t. rules and regulations it has signed a nuclear deal that some believe that it's somehow unique regime of inspections to iran more than any of this state iran has been on their international monetary and and inspection even before the nuclear deal now after the nuclear deal was abrogated by the united states and the e.u. is adamant to complying with its terms iran has been a trustworthy partner in full compliance with the deal according to over those an

i.a.e.a. report and that shows iran is a very sober and responsible actor and it is on their you know international inspections seven twenty four. what matters here is that the saudis not only there are no members of the i.a.e.a. and not open to international monitoring and inspection they have proved to be an irresponsible actor in the middle east take a look at what they've done in the last couple of years you will come up with so many stories like incarceration of the lebanese prime minister the prime minister of a sovereign state then to the brutal killing of jamal khashoggi lane season qatar you know threatening to iran with opening war and taken the war to tehran streets that white by the way happened the cup a month later with a terrorist attack on the iranian parliament so they are a very adventurous state they are source of instability in the region in the

words of former u.s. vice president joe biden he actually blamed solve the arabia as well as to other u.s. allies in the region for the start a war of militancy and the havoc in the middle east in syria and iraq so when we you have a state that is irresponsible that's by the way at this spot at this spot a grueling and treating you know of the population in solve the arabia with force and with tribal rule and the state that you know are adamant to stability in regional security that this would be a complete insanity to provide the solo these with such sensitive technology outside international monitoring and inspection and that's why i believe that the u.s. congress is also very much serious about this. the situation grows grave when you

come to notice that in the words of some. u.s. congress people the state that the trump administration has been adamant to impose a ban on the delivery. of nuclear enrichment and plutonium reprocessing technology to solve the arabia meaning that if there is a good deal they would provide the so these with such sensitive technology when the us my final sentence is that when the us abrogates the deal with iran with so many other words they standing in opposition to such a move by the us. claiming some nonproliferation concerns and at the same time they go for a deal with the saw with these and they are adamant to place and get ban and you rein him in richmond and plutonium reprocessing let's get knology and they provide them with this technology that shows full hypocrisy that shows that the us feels no

nonproliferation for middle east and for middle east security and stability mark mark fitzpatrick. given all of the everything you've just heard there from stuff and i want to ask you as well about the concerns that have been expressed in washington about this by politicians from both parties not just the opposition democrats but a number of probably a prominent republicans. about the whole idea of the u.s. sharing sensitive nuclear information with saudi arabia given much of of what stuff has has said there are they right to be concerned other reasons to be concerned but there are there's a lot of exaggeration let me clarify a couple of things number one saudi arabia is a member of the i.a.e.a. saudi arabia today is in compliance with its obligations to the i.a.e.a.

but the point made by your guest in tehran is that saudi arabia has not agreed to full or inspections which it has been asked to and before the research reactor that is being built comes online it. i'll have to join the general safeguards agreements that all other states have so that will happen with regard to the u.s. nuclear cooperation agreement united states is not going to provide enrichment uranium enrichment or plutonium reprocessing technology they're not going to do that the the issue is will united states require saudi arabia to for goal getting these technologies from any other country in exchange for u.s. nuclear cooperation the way that the united states required the united arab emirates to do and that's the issue the saudis don't want to give up rich meant and u.s. administration seems to be weakening on this and ready to strike a deal without that requirement but as you've noted members of congress are

concerned five republican senators said they don't want to engage and a nuclear cooperation agreement with saudi arabia i think they would agree to it if it had a strict gold standard requirement that saudi arabia could not pursue and richmond and reprocessing and without enrichment or reprocessing you can't get nuclear weapons so the nuclear technology the united states would share with saudi arabia is not sensitive in that regard but there are many reasons to be concerned and i think your other guests have have so if if if let's say the saudis don't agree to this so-called gold standard to which is you know as you say no no enrichment of uranium no reprocessing of plutonium and accepting regular intrusive international inspections should the u.s. just walk away then i think the united states should negotiate very strictly with the saudis and get them to accept such

a standard should they walk away the difficulty is if the united states walks away the saudis could strike a deal with russia or china and there wouldn't be much. requirements at all so that's what the united states is grappling with right. i think the united states has a lot of leverage with saudi arabia they're their strategic partners but but most of the relationship is in the advantage of the united states and the saudis need the united states more than vice versa if i let's put it that point then to abraham then you know mark fitzpatrick makes that point as. members of the trumpet ministration have also said that you know if they did if they don't do business with us they'll go elsewhere like russia and china and they've said that those countries. will not be as diligent about the whole issue of nuclear proliferation and nuclear weapons and so on what would he say to that well let's put the sister first of all i don't think the united states would ever give the

united saudi arabia your rhenium and richmond or plutonium reprocessing this is a technology that presents a serious risk for saudi arabia and positioning in the region and in particular for israel the reason actually we haven't seen any is laid opposition to this is that that this does not present any threat that so that some think the administration along with israel there on the same page and i don't think what we are seeing now is more than just be making more technology sales of technology but for the trump administration selling tool to saudi arabia so it does not have any political implications in my view the charm that some but many of the u.s. administration does not to trust that saudi arabia would deal with this technology the way it should in order that again not to present

a threat to israel and this is the key point to this a broad church mend a congressman who commented who told you that if you don't trust saudi jia with a band saw then how are you going to trust them with the nuclear technology. so this is something that's given in all of this now what is actually concerning about the whole idea and the whole thing is about why this is being done in the in the very secretive way is that just caution out is managing the whole thing along with the other officials in the u.s. administration there are some american companies that are seriously pushing for this sales to pick up the same time measuring it's kept there keeping it secret because it's a can the documents contain proprietary business information in other words yes knowledge that the companies involved don't want their competitors to get hold of

so there's the valid business reasons not necessarily has because there are reports already that link some u.s. officials like michael flem the former model national security advisor to some of these companies that are pushing seriously for these sales like the internationals that that's one of the films that is seriously and significantly pushing for so why this is being done in the most secretive way. is passing by the congress is not going through the congress and actually. secretary of energy perry the point be you they are not answering the questions that the congress is asking so there is something here is not very clear about and it's not very transparent if we're talking about. some legitimate business that has been done in terms of technology and that it's going through the u.s.

of a session that can simply be done in the most the transparent way which is not the case and again the fact that israel is not saying going to think about this and the whole. the whole idea of the regional fact that he had because we have to think that he. in the context into consideration because you know the some administration has been moving the embassy the american embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem giving israel the golan heights as if he owns it and now here is one of the thing that's coming up without really being transparent which makes me concerned about how is this be and let's let's put it back to mark then mark fitzpatrick there's been a level of secrecy surrounding these approvals is that only going to add to congress's suspicion of the the administration's intentions and of saudi arabia's intentions. oh i absolutely so these approvals as you noted this is this is for technology it's marketing technology so that the firms in question can engage in

preliminary discussions with the saudis it's not technology that they could use for any nefarious purpose at all but you pointed to the issue here your other guest in why trump administration didn't tell the congress that they were they were approving these these initial technology sharing and and that has got the congress aroused because they're already very concerned for all the reasons that your guests have noted and and the middle in particular the fact that the saudis haven't this nuclear hedging strategy that if iran gets a nuclear weapon they want one too and the united states absolutely can't be a party to to permitting any further expansion of nuclear weapons technology in the region so yes the trumpet ministration secrecy here involves as your father of the professor noted jared kushner making having conversations that aren't reported to anyone in the congress needs to know what's going on yet mostafaei you

pointed out earlier what you felt a lot of the hypocrisy in all of this as far as iran is concerned but what about the concerns that people in iran might have particularly the hardliners there in the leadership about the security implications of this that if they see that. saudi arabia is moving further in the direction of nuclear power that that that could perhaps lead to them trying to acquire nuclear weapons what it what is that going to do for their concerns in the region about security and about the fact that they have been they say complying with all of that the international requirements of pursuing peaceful nuclear power without agreements wallach a question actually but before that i need to raise a couple points i do agree with my colleagues in the hall all that there are. much secrecy surrounding this case that he explained and at the same time there have

been congregational reports accusing donald trump ministration of efforts to bypass the congress and this. and also about these realize i do agree with them saying that despite the fact that they are good bet fellows right now i mean the saudis in these release these release are not so not even they may not go for this strategic blunder to allow a delivery of nuclear enrichment or plutonium reprocessing to happen i mean to solve these by the u.s. at ministration but when you have done office nothing rational you know nothing might go rational there are things that might happen if there is a good deal and a good bargain in place anyway and that that's why there are war is not just in iran but in the entire region that the saudis you know that's true i agree

with mark fitzpatrick the u.s. wants to be in control in through this deal in or an up not to push the saudis towards the cheney's in russians but a study of the situation in sol the arabia shows that they could go both the way they could have a deal with the united states and at the same time they could go the rest of this way with the cheney's with pakistan especially or with anyone else remember to solve these are in position of the good number of cygnus eyes are there for a q. or two from a number of countries including the chinese there with a range of four to five thousand kilometers that's double the range of iranian missiles and still there are reports coming from the washington post and from other u.s. media outlets saying that the saudis have started. helping a homegrown ballastic in the side technology that's a suspicious move that could be a move to tours developing a delivery system for

a future nuclear bomb so these are very sobering you know moves and there are growing concerns everywhere but in iran it's interesting to know that the ring is supremely there is that of the couple of weeks ago that yes the americans are providing the soul of these with a nuclear capable of considering that the soul of these are not very strong in their power in a coup or a revolution might happen then you know in future or any time the future the people and muslim nation will come into power maybe some and israeli and the american rulers will be in power in riyadh in the next few years and this nuclear capable of the woods and the american anti israel the moves by the muslim world i just want to get what's probably going to be the last what then to mark fitzpatrick day as been concern expressed before before the news of this this

particular story came out about the did the saudi leadership is is playing the united states in a lot of ways and then be manipulated by the by the saudi leadership particularly by crown prince mohammed bin sandman you think there's any truth to that it's a very odd situation why it seems that the saudis have are able to get away with so much the murder of the journalist shoji their efforts in yemen unending war and they do have some influence over the top administration and this particular personal relationship with jared kushner but the strategic relationship goes back a long way and you know there are reasons for that and you u.s. concerns about iran make them naturally disposed toward having a stronger relationship with some. already as a counterpoint to iran so you know there are there's a lot of reasons for concern but there are reasons why the united states has

close in on tripoli but they suffered a setback in zawiya that's about fifty kilometers west of tripoli dozens of huffed as fighters surrendered to un backed government forces more than forty military vehicles were seized well the u.s. is trying to prevent an escalation of the violence the security council has called that emergency session on friday what would have the wind has more of a display of military strength from fighters loyal to the world have to they've posted this video online which appears to show a large convoy of heavily armored vehicles moving list to it is the capital. in an audio message have the cold on his forces to move on tripoli are you allowed our last hours our courageous heroes the time has come to advance towards tripoli go forward confidently those who want peace will not be harmed as we don't come as conquerors only use force on those that fire on you those that stay home are safe

and those that raise the white flags will also be safe the un recognized the government in tripoli has issued an alert and called on all its forces to be ready have to do meet the east of libya leading a loser alliance of factions but his repeatedly expressed his intention to march on tripoli despite warnings and calls for calm from the united nations the libya rival factions seem to be moving towards a military confrontation and if that happens it could derail the u. and this plan sort of peace talks due to be held here later this month but some analysts believe her father is trying to make sure he's included in the political process. i think that would like to force the hands of the board the u.n. and those attending. in a way that does not exclude him fearing that this conference may start a whole new path for libya in the next few years and that he may not be.

included in that process the united nations secretary general antonio good turkish has arrived in libya to support the political process and he's expressed concern about a potential showdown. very soon. for all movements to solve. for. the escalation most military. verbal the escalation. libya has been in turmoil since the nato backed remove all of its long time duffey in two hundred eleven and since twenty fourteen it has had two competing governments. but so far efforts to negotiate a political settlement unite libya and organize national elections appears to have

failed. tripoli france italy the u.a.e. u.k. and the u.s. are all warning against military action are diplomatic editor james bays has more now from the nato summit in washington. libya wasn't on the formal agenda of the meeting here at the state department of nato foreign ministers but it clearly was discussed on the margins of this meeting because we have a statement from some key nato countries and a major regional player the statement says that they are deeply concerned about the current fighting in libya it goes on at this sensitive moment in libya's transition military posturing and threats of unilateral action only risk propelling libya back towards chaos and then there comes a warning to general haftar the statement says our governments oppose any military action in libya and will hold accountable any libyan faction that precipitates

further civil conflict what's interesting is the countries that have signed this statement it is france italy the u.s. the u.k. and the u.s. you have their members of the security council you have france of the security council members the one that has been most sympathetic to general haftar also important the u.a.e. is signing this statement and they are the country that militarily has been backing general haftar the most so strong statements and the word from diplomats is that they are angry they are somewhat surprised that general have to made his move at a time when the u.n. secretary general was visiting libya they are concerned about the situation and the highlighting the arrogance of this move at this time but here as a professor of politics at the university of texas in san antonio he says honey for have to move on tripoli should come as no surprise. the man has been saying it all

the last two years as you say number one. and he has been building his is trying to do that ultimately has the has he has the the hardware he has the will and it to use that's all well and has communicated to his intentions a long time ago so why his surprise today they're going to their candidate as many speeches and deliberation experience that is a little of both i mean the timing seems to be quite right for him this is all because he was bypassed and together he was not given the important role to play in any of this he controls eighty percent of maybe even more ninety percent of the country he controls all the all result of a country and if you will it is going to shun the sight as one second that you have all judaism some also that there's no will not be a platform for anyone to you move against libya tunisia it won't do with either and so who's going to do with nato going to come up with. his political will to pretty

simple as that to move the militias and he's going to keep it and he's one tremendous amount of support. people will fed up all this situation not that u.s. politicians are stepping up efforts to end support for the saudi and led war in yemen congress has given final approval to a resolution to stop all military aid to the conflict and sent the bill to the white house for the president's signature donald trump says he'll veto the move article hang as more from washington. i don't want to see fourteen million yemenis starve to death harsh words for saudi arabia filled the house chambers and if the saudis don't stop their blockade and let food and medicine in within six months we will see one of the great humanitarian crisis in the world and with that in a vote of two hundred forty seven to one hundred seventy five the house joined the senate in sending the message the congress wants the u.s.

military to stop supporting the saudi coalition's war in yemen this is the first time that he u.s. congress has rebuked a president on a war powers resolution which was a concern for some who voted no it really basically states yet again that the fundamental premise of this resolution is flawed because u.s. forces are not engaged in hostilities against the who are these in yemen which is what the war powers act requires if we want to cut off economic assistance or logistic assist assistance security assistance the saudi there's a way to do that but it's not through the war powers act the lawmakers made clear this is about much more than ending the war in yemen the vote in the senate and in the house makes it clear that the united states will not continue to fall of the despotic and hard democratic leadership coming out of saudi arabia day how they are aggressive foreign policy their aggressive military policy i think it's a bad idea but at the very least the united states should not be led into

a wall by of the spot of undemocratic murderous regime this was a bipartisan vote the president's likely to respond with a veto the congress probably can't override still for many members of congress this was about much more than a message or a historic rebuke of the president it was a statement on congress's ever darkening view of saudi arabia political gain al-jazeera washington. now one hundred days and at least eight hundred thousand people killed twenty five years since they were a london genocide the scars remain and the healing is ongoing this weekend rwanda will pause to commemorate one of the worst periods in its history sunday marks the day when hutu militia began an ethnic genocide against the minority under simmons' visit the area of me a martyr where some of the worst atrocities took place a warning some of the graphic images in his report for b. to study. as rwanda prepares to commemorate twenty five years since the start of its genocide the same images of horror dominate here's
