confirmed that for the 1st time in nearly 4 months since venezuela's president a power struggle began exploratory talks have taken place in between his representatives and those of president. he also acknowledged that for almost 3 months norway had been trying to mediate some kind of an encounter however he insists that the talks are only one of many possible options for bringing about regime change. it is one more initiative from those who want to cooperate and we've said from day one anyone who wants to contribute be they civilians members of the military or diplomats are welcome to achieve an end to her patient a transitional government and free elections but let's not confuse the method with the objective i'm going to both sides accuse each other of having negotiated in the past in bad faith but while the my brutal government has been insisting on the need for dialogue to resolve the country's worst ever political and economic crisis for the opposition the word dialogue is almost

a dirty word in fact earlier i spoke to opposition activist. who has been calling for an international military coalition to come to venezuela's aide and she says that talking to the government is pointless we know that they are not going to accept the seizure through an electoral process we we've seen several so-called dialogues even with the pope and the vatican involved dad to be objective for their g.m. was to gain time in any case exploratory talks as they're being called are still very much in their infancy i'm a little has also been meeting hearing with representatives of the 28 member international contact group mainly europeans and interestingly cuba which is my little strongest and most unconditional ally is also being brought into the mix while cuba's deputy foreign minister was. flying to oslo canada's foreign minister was arriving in atlanta to talk to her cuban counterpart to see if quote cuba can

the leader and who we are we are not fans and that requires a lawyer by trade says supporters of alabama's tough measures want to get it before the highest court in the land their aim he says is to overturn the law ruling notice roe v wade that legalized abortion in 1973 i think it will go to the u.s. supreme court if it's not alabama georgia or somebody other local states or those southern states that have very similar laws on the books under obama's new law or doctors who carry out abortions would face up to 99 years in jail even women who get pregnant through rape or incest would not be able to terminate their pregnancy the only exception is if a pregnancy seriously threatens a woman's health the american civil liberties union are planning to launch a legal challenge to stop the new measures which is set to become law. november randall marshall says women's lives are at risk abortion has always been easy for

people with with welp. in alabama it's mainly low income women who are affected and would be even more adversely affected by this kind of a law. states across the u.s. are passing some of the most restrictive abortion legislation in decades even as others are protecting access to abortion antiabortion supporters hope to new conservative judges in the supremes court will help them overturn roe v wade but the legal battle has only just begun based on past cases it's likely that alabama's new law will be tied up in court for years delaying enforcement it's also important to know that the supremes court has discretion over what cases it hears nonetheless anti abortion campaigners see a chance they haven't had in decades and they gallacher al-jazeera montgomery alabama. but in a hostel has appealed to world powers to form a new international coalition to combat increasing violence in africa sahara region

on al-jazeera talk to al-jazeera as the next. just months after journalist jamal khashoggi was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul another arab dissident says his life he's also in danger. baghdad he is a pro-democracy activist and strong critic of saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin sound man the u.k.'s guardian newspaper reported that norwegian officials took him from his home in 00 to a secure location there he was told the cia had warned norway's government that the

saudis had him in their crosshairs el baghdadi gained popularity during the arab spring when he posted pro human rights messages on social media the palestinian activist was granted asylum in norway 4 years ago after being expelled from the united arab emirates for his criticism of middle eastern regimes 5 jonah how in oslo in an exclusive interview baghdadi discusses an unlikely friendship with the murdered washington post journalist jim out for saudi and have continuing his work has brought him into the crosshairs of the saudi government human rights campaigner el baghdadi talks to al jazeera. he had a dandy thank you for talking to al-jazeera thank you so much for having me i'd like to go back a couple of weeks now to the 25th of april when you 1st got the knock on your door here in all slow telling you that there was a threat against you how did you react how did it happen. well to be honest i

wasn't that surprised that they showed up. and i believe the 1st thing i said to them once they introduced themselves told me their badges was something like what took you so long. i remember on that day you know from the corner of my eye i could see some activity outside i could see that i think they were standing there for a while. it seemed to me that this secured the area before asking me to go with them norwegians the norwegian security the norway we call them the p.s.t. they're kind of a combination of norway's you know kind of see if and security you know. special service you can see so they also provide security for politicians and dignitaries. and they're known to be you know highly professional highly competent. so. at the time of course they were in plain clothes and what did they tell you. they didn't tell me any details on the spot they simply asked me to go with them they didn't

give you any sense of why there was a threat against you or where information had come from they only did that once i was safe and secure in that specialised secure location would do this and they simply sat me down and then they told me that they received a tip from a partner intelligence agency indicating that i've been the target of a threat and you now believe that to be the cia and the threat to be coming from yes so there's a lot of the time i had a good i had a good. idea that it was the cia but i wasn't 100 percent sure i believe i only this only was completely confirmed when the guardian did you know the work to confirm it and in the absence of a real evidence to support this notion of a threat what gives you pause to think that it is credible that there is a real threat out there well to start i think the you know whether whatever you think about this from a moral point of view i believe everyone would agree that there are competent. so i

don't believe that this would have passed. if there wasn't something behind it. but i should also mention that i started to become concerned about my security as far back as october you know shortly after the murder which was murder on october 15th i received a friendly tip from a saudi source indicating that you know i'm being discussed and that i should be concerned about my security. you mentioned other names as well. you know i also inform them. but i didn't take any drastic action back then. in february while i was working with bezos as investigation team i became i mean i started to understand how sensitive that matter is and i started to feel i mean revisiting a lot of my old sources etc. i started to feel that i mean i don't want

to be too dramatic but i felt like you know i have i probably have cross hairs on my back. and i did indicate my concern to a number of norwegian friends you know and in an e-mail that went around asking them for advice you know what you know someone who is in this kind of situation what do you do where do you go. in march i filed a police report with the police with the local police which is the normal procedure when you want to you know want to and want to indicate something like that but i believe it was over a month over a month had passed before. the p.s.t. came to my door so it was october last year the same month that was killed that you began to feel somewhat under threat yourself and you were friends with him where you know. and you work together well yeah i mean initially of course i mean i tell people that someone like them all and i are not supposed to be friends we're

not supposed to be friends the reason is for the longest time was one of the elites he was a figure who was deeply loyal he continued to be deeply loyal to the saudi state to the idea of saudi arabia. and for the longest time i mean within my team we had a lot of frustration we had rants about about how should we you know like the guy who almost gets it the guy who would say 10 things 10 positives you know 10 things about democracy and human rights and free expression 9 of them would be things that you would absolutely you know agree with and the 10th would walk it all back you know. and so i was always skeptical about that until that moment when he chose exile. and something really amazing happened after that which was that one was unshackled from having to be concerned about his

security and about his you know his his safety once he was safe reasonably in the united states. he could have gone in any direction he could have gone to words you know he could have one of his dreams was to start his own t.v. station or could have done that he could have you know gotten a pretty decent position at a think tank for example in d.c. . eventually he chose 2 things 1st journalism his 1st you know his 1st identity and he gravitated towards activists was used to some kind of normal politics he was used to the old saudi arabia which had some kind of norms and some kind of traditions of how things happen. as completely destroyed that and the end of normal politics eventually meant that you have to seek other ways of seeking influence. and i think that's how he that's when he started to gravitate towards activism m.b.'s. of course the crown prince in saudi arabia. eventually you found

common cause with jamal khashoggi do you think that it was your association with him. the 1st put you on the radar of the saudi authorities to attempt to answer your question. we did a risk assessment and we identified 6 or 7 reasons or 6 or 7 things that i've been working on you and he not with jamal i mean generally i mean 3 of these are 2 of these were but the rest were basically other initiatives that were highly sensitive and i believe from my own informed opinion would have been highly you know of concern let's see if to the saudis well you knew you knew that what you were doing had the potential to get you in trouble you tweeted if they don't want to kill me then i'm not doing my job is the risk the danger something that you accept as simply being an inherent in what you do it is something that i accept i

mean this is i mean it's not the easiest life but it is the life that i built and it's the life that i chose so let's talk about the period then after jamal khashoggi death in the saudi consulate in istanbul last october you took on along with these who's also been warned at the same time as you he lives in canada there's another individual who lives in the united states also warned by security services of the threat the 3 of you took on jamal's work and tried to carry it on and that's what brought you into contact with the i was in founder jeff bezos give me a sense of of how events unfolded after june miles death and how they involved your work yet so is a man who was very concerned about the state of free expression the main medium of free expression. in the arab world post 2011 was social media particularly twitter i think the nature of twitter. the fact that twitter is this unfiltered you know

there's no algorithm or the algorithm is very light. and the fact that twitter became very very popular in saudi arabia i think saudi arabia and certain and certain. certain surveys tops the world when it comes to an attrition rate went up supporter. jamal himself was a twitter influencer as you know i mean he had i think 1600000 for something like that as we saw a 1000000 followers i mean i'm nowhere near his influence on twitter i mean under that keep in mind also that he's influential in the arabic language which is the language that for safety i avoided even though i enjoy speaking i mean and communicating in arabic it just happens that there were far more aggressive with arabic speakers because they wanted to control the arab public sphere ok so you identified twitter as the sort of main battleground it was the main battleground the main i mean i remember as far back as 2011 someone called twitter the parliament of the arabs it is where arabs go to express their opinion it is where

arabs go to to get informed. likely exactly so take me on. in how you went about picking up where jamal left off trying to finish what it was he'd started. you might be aware of the project. was working on and of course is a project that was started in association was about actually. and the idea behind it is you know these guys the saudi regime they weaponize twitter they manipulate the media they manipulate the platform in order to do really dark things and to just to fight really dark things why don't we do the same but in the in the opposite direction in other words why don't we also manipulate twitter to push our own narratives which are basically you know pro freedom pro profit off expression pro-human rights etc. so that was one line of attack and i would i would mention here that i have

a certain philosophical difference let's say with this approach of course i was not involved in that project at all but i have this philosophical difference because i think maybe fighting fire with fire is not the best strategy because they simply have so much more fire. the 2nd approach i mean there's 3 approaches i prefer not to mention the 3rd approach at least for the meanwhile because it's very much a work in progress and it's highly sensitive and it's starting to bear fruit. but i would mention the 2nd one with the 2nd one basically was. jamal's desire to create. what we eventually came to describe as an arab state media watchdog. so he actually gave me a call i believe it was if i'm not mistaken it was august 7th. and this was after or after we had communicated about the 3rd project after i had

made some connections that we needed. but in that conversation he he summarized the idea he said you know these guys push a lot of propaganda a lot of it is outrageous and a lot of it they get away with it because they say it in the arabic language and there isn't enough awareness in the world that you know this is actually happening so he's like why don't we created this project that actually exposes the so what they do is that they segment the audience so they send a message in english there's another message in arabic why don't we cross translate so that people can see that this is what's happening and we can actually keep an eye a spotlight on their propaganda efforts what they're doing what they're saying etc and he said like some some of it would be funny. in a dark kind of way like like look how you know ridiculous the serbs and some of it would be incredibly important incredibly important for you know for understanding you know these regimes and of course he talked about this not only to me but also

to the 3rd unnamed. person in the united states in the united states and of course i understood from my kind of like from my subsequent you know work on this i understood that twitter is an integral part of such a project so it's wasn't it doesn't have to be simply t.v. and press twitter is an enormous it's actually the primary propaganda tool for you know when it comes to saudi arabia. to spend a lot of time a lot of money and they actually spilled a lot of blood to maintain to create that kind of control which they're actually they're very proud of and we have a lot of evidence that they're very proud of their the degree of control that they have over arabic twitter what do you mean they spilled a lot of blood i mean that there are people and i mean i can't mention names here but i think one of the this will be the sort of come out 1st of all a lot of the people who are. arrested as early as september 27th teen. of course they had a crossfire as intellectuals some of the more scholars at so troubled i think it's

also important to note that there also were twitter influencers in fact we tabulated i mean we had a if we can you're talking about the saudi authorities decided 30 killing people who had become influential on twitter i mean jamal was one of them but there were there were there are cases that we're aware of people who were tortured to death. and not going to the names but tortured to death and we cannot find anything that they were doing other than twitter and this is evidence backed. unfortunately yes and we don't have as i mentioned we don't we don't want to reveal the names yet you know until we have something official we're expecting that maybe there will be an official. college went off of this at some point but there has been reporting on it ok so twitter is your battle ground in which you and people like you operate to counter the propaganda of regimes among them saudi arabia. jamal

khashoggi is killed you and 2 others take on projects that you were working with together. bring me then up to the point where you working with jeff bezos and you begin to feel. vulnerable. yes so the general idea or the general methodology. off the 2nd project is something that we had an idea about what would we never had a tar like we never tried it out in a real life investigation. this of course kind of changed when the black male scandal became public the founder of amazon so the founder of amazon and also interestingly importantly the owner of the washington post owner of the employer for short of his phone was tapped allegedly. embarrassing. tweets e-mails it's off its main mainly you know pictures and messages that were lifted

off his phone. and i i mean i don't want to get into details that probably i should not mention i mean there's a lot i know about the case that. i should not be. i should not be speaking publicly about them. but the short story here is that jeff bezos after the murder of washington post journalist. was in a bit of a bind because this is a man who has has extensive business interests in saudi arabia he had by then a personal relationship with m.p.'s had met him several times yes. but he was also the owner of the washington post and m.b.'s just killed one of his journalists. and he was in this kind of situation where it was clear it was it became clear to us even even more you know with the investigation that m.p.'s expected basis to side

with him over the washington post and to say you know you know my business comes 1st. and you know i have this personal relationship with this man and he expected him to curb the washington post coverage. that of course not happen and jeff bezos basically when he bought the washington post and 2013 he had a good faith agreement that i'm not going to interfere in editorial policy i'm not going to enter the boardroom and he ordered that and this was something sadly this was something exactly this was something that m.b.a.'s saw as betrayal and so you were called in to help identify the source of the leaks my role was basically aiding the investigation team in. first of all exposing the degree and the the the saudi campaigns against jeff bezos. but also the timing of a lot of these things that happened and of course it fell upon jeff this investigation team to actually go in and find out exactly what happened and it was

conclusive. well it was there i mean according i mean to quote them to paraphrase they concluded with a high degree of certainty that's what that's that's according to them that the saudis had access to this one so there's a lot of work going on here. on your behalf. and the other individuals in the united states following on from jamal's who are aiming to point the figure finger not just at the saudi authorities but n.b.s. himself the crown prince himself one thing that seems to be lacking in indeed also lacking in pointing the finger at n.b.s. in the death of jamal khashoggi he's. categorical undeniable evidence direct evidence he's in of all of us yet you take it as read you speak as though it is a fact based. thing. if there is no direct evidence mustn't you and others accept that there is the possibility that n.b.s.

in fact did not have any direct role or knowledge that's that's really these things i mean that's that's a really interesting question i mean some people misunderstand circumstantial evidence so that the actual idea of circumstantial evidence i mean if i walk out if i'm out in outside and you're sitting inside and i walk in and i have you can see that i'm wet you can assume that it was raining outside and i have an umbrella for example you can assume that it was raining but that was not direct evidence is circumstantial it doesn't mean that it's weak evidence it simply means that it's not direct in a case of as they said before a highly pick regime which has control over information it is very rare that you will actually find direct evidence maybe it could be years before you find direct evidence and this is something they know and this is something that the 2 as i said you know loops around us really i mean they can't they can basically be months or running years ahead of us. which unfortunately in many cases they have they have

been i would point out however that in a country like saudi arabia with which is ruled by an absolute monarch and he's and he's absolutely probably i don't think there's another country in the world in which. one person has such direct control over everything in the state it is simply impossible to think that. such such a thing as a miles murder could have been done without his knowledge and this was in fact the conclusion of the cia to a medium to high level of probability absolutely with i mean what are the argument the use that it is it is almost impossible for something like this to happen without his knowledge and yet all of this said and with all the cumulative work that you and others continue to do. it remains an unassailable fact that m.b.a.'s at this point on the crown prince retains the. support of

president trump the banks and the investors who pulled away from saudi arabia very publicly in the months following jamal's murder have trickled back there are simply too much money there for them not to the spotlight shifts inexorably to saudi arabia is iran in the arab world and so it is unlikely or seems unlikely that n.b.s. is ever going to go the way of the. mubarak's or the gadhafi is or the omar al bashir is of this world is that true do you think i mean i think that the chances of a popular uprising in saudi arabia is not as as you mentioned is not. doesn't have a history of popular uprisings but then again i mean libya for example didn't have on. syria until recent recently i mean didn't have one. so i would caution against you know being complacent about about you know

what is that point at which the people simply say enough however i completely agree with you and everything else the fact that. the administration in the in this world that is most capable of reining in m.b.'s is currently his biggest enabler i'm talking about trump but also importantly jarrett questioner. i mean my own sources indicate that u.s. institutions including intel including you know congress obviously are very much aware that n.b.s. is bad news but then there's the other angle which is that saudi arabia is verifiable absolutely an important country it will continue to be an important country so this presents a very interesting policy condron really to the world which is that we need saudi arabia. it's an interesting market it's also an important country for strategic reasons. dynamic young population you know traumatized probably after after the

recent events but still important but then we also have this guy who is bad news what do we do about it i mean this is this is absolutely a conundrum your current situation at the moment under threat you're aware of a threat how do you proceed now undeterred or cautiously. well on the one hand it's clear i mean the fact that there's been this threat and you mentioned you quoted me earlier saying you know if they don't want to kill me then i'm not doing my job. in a way when they come after you that's when you know that you're being effective you know that you hit a nerve in other words. you know the the of course again i mean they went after a lot of people that were a lot more accessible to them such as people who are living in saudi arabia and these people of course. you know i have the highest respect for their courage but also the biggest the most concern for their safety and. but knowing that you have a certain effectiveness that would prompt them to try to deter you to stop you

really is validation it's validation and it's basically a message saying that you know i need to double down my efforts. but that's all the time we have thank you so much because talking to owners of thank you. i really want to get down to the nitty gritty of the reality where on line we have a male chauvinist and that is living in love with that race and it is really hard to get a piece of that or if you join us. we think up their mind this is
