i think ordinary citizens who will show up today for this protest have genuine concerns about their economic state right there their livelihoods being threatened but i think there are also a lot of political motives that i find to be quite problematic saw a number of the protest leaders who are heads of the council of patriots i think have dubious motivations some of them are members of the previous administration some of them are members of the administration of charles taylor who was a rebel leader turned president many of whom benefited from the economic mismanagement of those 2 administrations and the question that a lot of liberians have who may or may not show up for the protests today is what are their motives are they genuine are they actually representing the will of the people so i think there is both genuine economic concerns that people have who will show up at the protest but i think a lot of the protest leaders also have a lot of motives that are not necessarily genuine as well but to

a greater good so many thanks to you for being with us there up to paley in oxford . the u.k. as briggs a party has failed to win a byelection challenge in the city of peterborough the newly formed party was hoping to win its 1st parliamentary seat after a strong performance in the european elections last month instead the seat was narrowly retained by the labor party during the 2016 year referendum 60 percent of them since in peterborough backed leaving the bloc despite differing opinions across our city the fact that the bricks of party have been rejected here in pizza parlor shows that the politics. shows that the politics of division will not win. this is a result for every community in peterborough so now it's victory is significant because it has shown that the politics of hope can win. regardless of the

odds. well the leader of the labor party says that the vote shows that people are concerned with issues beyond others say the poll spells trouble for britain's 2 main parties china hall as more reaction from pete rose. well a failure of the brakes party perhaps in this. election in peterborough but i think the failure of the brakes in party expectations were of course extremely high that they would win here particularly after their showing in the european parliamentary elections just a fortnight ago an extraordinary victory for them there but of course it was not to be but look at the bigger picture here this is a party the british party founded just a couple of months ago on the back of extreme anger by many voters a reason made conservative party and its failure to deliver breaks of the breaks it party has only that makes it it's a single issue party no other campaign message no other policies tremendously

alluring to the great many voters in this country who feel so passionately about rights and it's led by nigel farage a controversial politician a friend of the president of the united states he held private meetings with donald trump just this week and indeed in those european parliamentary elections 2 weeks ago as i said they 1st out of all the national political parties here sending 29 m. e d's to brussels while the conservative party sums of their worst national election result in the party's 200 year history and here in peterborough coming a very close 2nd in trying to send an m.p. to westminster losing by just under 700 votes as vanishingly small margin i think make no mistake and the other parties will now make no mistake the briggs's party has become and remains a significant feature new feature on the british political landscape britain's prime minister's reason may is officially stepping down as the leader of her conservative party she'll continue to serve as prime minister when the party chooses her successor 11 m.p.'s

a competing in the race may announce her resignation 2 weeks ago after parliament voted. down a briggs and feel for the time let's go live now to london i was there as long as lee is in westminster so lawrence the e.u. told britain not to waste time when it wanted an extension to the brig's a deadline and yet here we are going to spend the next 6 weeks waiting for the conservatives to choose a new leader and therefore new prime minister. yeah and you know that i mean there are several different separations of what happened last night but but see all patil points about the conservative party you end up coming. in in a seat that they used to hold it's it creates an enormous problem for them it's reason they lost as conservative party leader the race to replace her is in full tilt and those kind of the slight boris johnson thems the foreign secretary jeremy hunt there in separate station of the results are saying it just shows how we have

to deliver bricks it by the end of that extension at the end of october if the conservative party is not to be annihilated inside in a place by the brics it policy that that the problem with that in separate station is that if a new leader is chosen who says it's a parliament we're leaving without a deal at the end of october. if someone already conservative governments and there are enough conservatives who would vote against the conservative party in a vote of confidence which would immediately be treated that the government could collapse and that would and that would be you know to lead leads to a general election which based on the result last night's potentially the labor party would win and so for the conservative party membership it was supposed to end up choosing the leader it is a terribly difficult choice do you go for that hard bricks it's to avoid the bricks policy outflanking the conservatives all do you accept that it's not going to get through parliament but what you do then so they're really in a trap of their own making and i think it's very difficult to see exactly where

they're going to go and it will only become clear in this month when that leader is chosen what force against take and what are we to make of that result in peterborough which the newly formed briggs's party was. according to a lot of polls going to win labor managed to retain the seat just. in an area the voted overwhelmingly for breaks in the rescue i mean it's it's come as a surprise because the policies done so amazingly well in this in a short life piece abbreviated 63 percent in the referendum to leave and so naturally there is one in separate station of this that says well maybe people are getting fed up of bricks and maybe to change their minds the labor policy meanwhile which obviously held the seats is busy saying that it didn't campaign around directly that all it campaigned on austerity and it says people are much more interested in things like that than they are of. i think the other point agent i would make really quickly is that in the last general election in $27.00 seen turnout in peterborough was 67 percent turnout last night was 47 percent so less

than half the electorate in peace or broken people that's a vote for anybody and it's all the same story about people's opinions of life in westminster at the moment lawrence many thanks i was there was lawrence lee live a question stop. the boss of ford europe has insisted the brakes it has nothing to do with the company's decision to close its engine plant in south wales next year stuart really says that it's part of a global cost cutting plan in the face of failing demand falling demand rather $1700.00 workers are set to lose their jobs it would be another setback for britain's most industry honda plans to close its swindon plant in $2821.00 there with 0 still to come on the program mexico promises to step up security along its border with somalia to prevent migrants crossing the us wants it to do more. as it stands growing youth movement rallies supporters ahead of

brags that the party narrowly missed sending its far stampede to politics. of mexico says it's deploying soldiers. to its southern border with guatemala trying to stop the flow of migrants into the united states president trump is threatening to increase tariffs on mexican goods on monday unless a deal be reached. un human rights experts are demanding an investigation into what it calls a staggering number of murders in the philippine government's war on drugs they're accusing president. inciting violence against drug dealers as well as intimidating judges and degrading women human rights watch estimates that at least 12000 for the pinas have been killed since 230 his campaign began in 2016 let's speak to richard . via skype he's a political scientist and the author of the book the rise of do tell what are we to make of this report and the timing of it richard. well i think the timing is very

very important it just came after a crucial need her elections that serve as a referendum on president arafat and his his allies they sift through also now we have the prospect of a very him i think that the girl i'm. very demoralized human rights activists and groups and a very powerful president who's tightening its grip on state institutions the other thing that makes this very important in terms of its time is that it comes to for the united nations human rights council convenes for weeks long investigation into what's happening all around the world as far as the human rights and political rights is concerned so this is important because it's sending a signal to the philippine government that even though you may be more bark than ever domestically even don't present a very this place or not he many charge of the legislature and even though there's not much of a chance for institutional checks and balances at home and he's internationally

there could be a movement on that front the audit thing we're looking at is the possibility of international criminal court also stepping into the piece that we were expecting that per year and use your dream to 1st quarter of this year the i.c.c. will call me this kind of a decision and what if they're going to investigate president disturbing softies i lace for a potential crimes against humanity we may see that a little bit later this year so i think this is one of the last straw or want to some to fuel one last straw there that the domestic liberal human rights groups and opposition can hold on to and also signal detected that there could still be that we are all accountability comes nabi not this year maybe next year but over the short on the long run person so how much responsibility does president. post let me beg for what's happened in the from the pains. this is they should present their day as a lawyer so he's a very very smart guy i think it's going to be very difficult to find kind of his

smoking gun whereby you have his signature of president rudy on a document that's just saying go and open it you people i think the people who could be in error held accountable for that is that incoming senate or general bottle that are also was the shooter not the president was the chief of the national police of the philippines who oversaw all these drug related activities and he may have let thousands of extra to do it so it's those kinds of people who may face on. it. think we've lost richard from manila which many thanks indeed we lost the audio there richard head darrien in manila. how the u.n. security council has been told that a state actor is likely responsible for an attack on the oil tankers off the u.a.e. coast last month saudi arabia norway and the u.a.e. presented a joint report that said that the sabotage was sophisticated and coordinated but didn't blame any one particular country specifically the u.s.

has previously blamed iran but iran's foreign minister has said that israel is far briquet to intelligence about its involvement russia's deputy ambassador to the u.n. daoud played the evidence. you shouldn't jump to conclusions to want to know when the closer you are to be here you know no you have no. clues and levy investigation will be continued so no name no you know you did. i just know they didn't claim it was to get you we're going to get you but that wouldn't believe it if you told us you believe in the investigation believe in. algeria interim president has vowed to stay until the next election despite calls from protesters for him to step down demonstrators a back on the streets for a 16th consecutive week they've rallied despite the resignation of longtime leader abdel aziz beautifully a poll meant for july 4th was cancelled after the only 2 candidates were barred

from running this situation is a chance to mobilize our national forces to deal with the country's legislative on organizational issues therefore i call upon the political establishment the civil society and the citizens who cared for this country and its future i call upon all of you to find the comprehensive dialogue in order to organize the forthcoming presidential elections this is in order to have coherence and consistency the country's in need of reforms in all political spheres and this is what our people have expressed in a very clear and peaceful manner palestinians are accusing israeli settlers of setting fire to hundreds of olive trees in the occupied west bank israeli police are investigating but human rights groups and locals and hopeful the case will be resolved abraham reports now from delude in the occupied west bank. olive trees that have been here for the past 60 years have turned into ashes after. north of

the occupied west bank. israeli settlers were seen attacking the school in the village ahead of the fires locals say they started it they will submit the surveillance camera footage to the israeli police but they don't expect a fair trial has been that it's difficult to imagine that they would hold settlers accountable usually the israeli justice system stands by the settlers in the face deterrence from the israeli forces and police they wouldn't repeat their attacks every year there's a problem of the sort of. human rights organizations say less palestinians are reporting such attacks and accuse the israeli system of bias towards sutcliffe's this is really a human rights organization dean says that 93 percent of cases regarding attacks were closed due to israeli police investigation. people here say that secular violence and lack of accountability i meant to establish feed and push palestinians out of their lands they believe that this will help the expansion of. the
