evidence pointed in the direction of saudi officials who either order or ready participated in this crime however as you have indicated in your report earlier the saudis deny that and are either behind the haphazard judicial process that they have pursued thus far the mastic clearly that's not enough this is the conclusion of the iraq war and their responsibility now is she's making it very clear belongs on the shoulders of the international community that means that you and itself needs to pursue this matter and then countries on their own but they can only companies that irrelevant. stake of this or relevant role in this whether turkey or any other country can actually ready pursue this based on

its own kind of legal constraints and possibilities including the u.s. if it chooses to overcome the political opposition biased political position taken by the administration that nearly 300 minus a staging an underground city in and south africa to protest against what they say is unfair pay and working conditions the miners have remained on the ground that the law and say this mine in rough somebody that's in the northwest of south africa for weeks now and that the mom doing the mines human resources department a child they sacked because of a raft of complaints including the dismissal of all than 50 employees for me to meet her as a correspondent the rest and that. it's been 8 days since close to 300 miners began their underground strike here in the northwest province they say they'll remain there as long as it takes to have their demands heard on this war began after

a female coworker made allegations of sexual harassment and my nose who are angry over this a little has been done while the alleged perpetrator was suspended for a short time he's since returned to work and the minus 8 this isn't good enough their grievances also extend to issues around pay what they say are unfair dismissals as well as the working conditions underground now that's where they remain and outside the mine family members as well as other miners have gathered to show support but they're also very worried given the amount of time the miners have stayed underground over a week now they haven't had any food to eat they've also had very little water now this is the 1st time there's been any sort of consignment of food that's come through and this is what will be delivered to the miners some point during the

course of the day but the mine workers unions are saying that food delivery has been blocked and they've had very little joy when it comes to negotiating with the management we are awaiting some sort of response from management as to what will happen next if the parties concerned will return to the negotiation table but is a lot of concern especially from the people outside who say that conditions on the ground are very difficult some miners have come up in the last day or 2 because they've become ill they too say they want to return this is how important these issues are for the miners and how desperate they are they say to have management hear them and deal. issues. now let's take you live to hong kong where democracy campaign is continuing with their protests. in the center of the

city they're gathering around police headquarters this is the 2nd time since last week and it's the latest in their reaction the demonstrators want to draw attention to the future of human rights in this semi autonomous territory yeah davis began a crowdfunding exercise and choosing to pay for adverts in newspapers around the world by wednesday that raised more than $800000.00 so that's a scene live outside police headquarters in hong kong. now to the u.s. with 20 presidential candidates from the democratic party a vying to take the top job in the 2020 elections and they're due to lay out their policies in televised debates this week andy gallagher is a correspondent he's been meeting democratic supporters in the key sense of florida to find out where they think the policy should be heading. it was a night the democratic party and its presidential candidate will never forget

despite polls and predictions donald trump became the 44th president of the united states leaving the democrats to lick their wounds no you don't donald trump burst lineup of democratic candidates now have their sights set on the 2020 alexion the challenge will be energizing their base and making gains with white non-college educated voters the organizers say it's about getting boots on the ground an incredibly diverse group you know about 50 percent of them speak spanish about 20 percent of them speak creole and they'll be down in our in our base communities communicating with both voters and registering new voters data from the vote a study group shows that 6000000 voters who backed barack obama in 2012 helped win in 2016 but the next presidential election may be about more than getting those people back president bill clinton once famously said that every u.s. election is about the economy and that maybe the democratic party's biggest challenge if job figures in financial markets is still doing well political

analysts say the democrats will focus on the president's behavior making this an election about morals not numbers if the democrats can mount a really good attack on all the stupid things that trump has done professor joseph use in ski says the democrats may focus on the president's temperament not policy it may very well be an election about trump's behavior his morality his rhetoric which is not just decisive but sometimes you know phobic and racist so if they focus on those things they'll be. playing to their strengths. lisa santos is a small business owner and democratic party activist the primary concern is immigration policy but she also wants candidates to speak from the heart don't get down like to say what you believe because a lot of 100 getting muted because of we're scared of what the reaction might be and i think what worked so offer trump is he was not muted he said what he believed in and he stood behind it the democratic party was selected presidential candidate

next summer as things stand former vice president joe biden is leading the pack it in the end a 2020 race may be more about personalities than anything else to gallacher al-jazeera miami florida right now i think we can go live to the mediterranean where we can see that german ship the sea watch story it's a charity ship it's got 42 migrants on board and it has now entered italian waters despite the authorities trying to block any ships carrying migrants as i say it's called the sea was 3 and it's decided to go in anyway into lampedusa that's the island off the coast of italy the many many former migrants have landed so that's a scene live and we'll see how they fare i've been speaking to chris growe adults. to see what he thinks the refugees and migrants onboard may be allowed to get off

this time. we've had the situation before with italy sabun has tried to bar us from entering italian waters for quite a while now for over a year he has already seized other ships and also our ship has been seized a couple of times for a short while for 2 or 3 weeks but has always been released after the stand because never there was any. any legal grounds to hold us for longer so we have always acted in accordance with international law when we rescue people in the mediterranean and therefore there is no reason for actually seizing our ship even though suddenly now made a new to korea trying to ease this procedure to seize our ship they will hopefully be disembark very soon to the port of lampedusa usually like last time which is only a couple of weeks back we wouldn't enter the port of lampedusa but the italian coast guard would in this case. where we have entered national waters already in

a state of necessity they would send a boat to then pick up these people from our boat bring them to them produce up bring them to the what that is there where there are already hundreds of people who have arrived through the mediterranean on their own. do say with us here that is there i'll be back in just a few moments with us all of the day's news stay with us. there as you grow in a very short time to be a trusted news source wherever you are in the world he really want to know what's going on there and you can find out very quickly we know look even use some nations

prism. we are probably international everybody will learn something watching our coverage. be showing that we can be fast in international news and mistrust and source of stories that people actually can't find elsewhere and that's going to continue. this is a dialogue a meeting about it for a lot less than staying at on the international media and on t.v. why should we stop this comes with skepticism because there's a lot of that on why everyone has a voice in the of being taken advantage of just because you know small community without any network just eat healthy join the global conversation on al-jazeera all they want to do is start the debate the same kind of debate that we have here in the street. across china millions of cameras are watching citizens every man in school or their

behavior one i want to investigates china's surveillance crackdown on how does the . i mean this is different whether someone is telling someone if it really does matter when the truth i think it's how you approach an official and that's it is a certain way of doing it you can't just buy a story and fly out. i would turn a blind eye to the crime and side to the crimes none of those questions have been i'm sure. a u.n. investigator calls for a criminal inquiry into the saudi crown prince's role in the matter of jamal khashoggi.

get on martine dennis your without is there life and also coming out the elephant in the room and man is of course the occupation itself senior palestinians condemn the u.s. sponsored bahrain conference saying it's an attempt to buy off a future palestinian state. the my good ship this defining italy's buying on the rescue boat entering its waters. and protesters in hong kong they surround police headquarters against a controversial extradition bill. a kingdom of saudi arabia is responsible for the premeditated murder of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi that's what a un special investigator has told the bodies human rights council agnes khalil's

report calls for a criminal inquiry into mohamed bin sound man as well as one of his top advisors excellences state trish pumps i believe she begs a question as to whom is are geometrically liable for each killing. the inquiry was a human rights inquiry not a criminal investigation it does nevertheless found credible evidence wire and further investigation of the high level saudi officials individual liability including that of the crown prince of saudi arabia and obvious key advisor so the timing. saudi arabia responded by accusing her of prejudice. a say that what is we are amongst the $36.00 countries that have complied with all the obligations under the human rights mechanisms that in kalamata as breach procedures that need to be adopted given to the special repertoire this is

something which has skewed the procedures as part of the procedures and trials in saudi arabia we don't believe she has respected her mandate in full integrity and therefore has not been able to do her work professionally accusations have been launched and pingers have been pointed supporting yourself on non-credible articles all sources which are certainly not credible. rather than go live now to our correspondent. in geneva at the united nations in lassen today was the day that agnes calmar presented her report with circa what 6 months to compile presented it to the un human rights council so a very important day. very important indeed martin because when you talk to the united nations human rights council it's the fortunately for her to test waters and gauge reaction from countries about how to

move forward she thinks she has gathered strong evidence implicating the subject government and that she needs more answers about the role of compress 100 been so many in the. end of this shift thinks that it's about time for an international criminal investigation to be launched in the times i spoke with a while ago about how to move forward and this is what she had to say the state is responsible ok we tease a state crime is something that the saudi authorities have yet to recognize once you have determined that the state is responsible where does that mean what tease the state so what i am saying now within the category of the state there are high level a few show us that are criminally response people for the crime it does not necessarily mean that they are responsible because they all do the crime they can be responsible because they directly or indirectly incite to the crime because they

failed to prevent teton because they failed to stop it and these are the kind of scenarios that i would want the follow a criminal investigation to investigate along with the question of was told that. agnes cullum is concerned her reports might just and in the archives of the united nations and this is why today she is rhetoric against the united nations saying that it's about time for the united nations secretary general to launch an investigation and she was frustrated over some statements made by the u.s. spokesperson a week ago saying that it's not within the mandate of attorney to terrorist to launch an investigation and come out with pete at least that the message to the international community and to the saudis is that if a criminal is the investigation is launched it would prevent countries in the

future from killing and targeting individuals or journalists just because of the opinions if that does not happen it would send a very negative message to countries and to individuals all over the world and i think if this explains why to day and to morrow she will be we to rating the same methods i did my work as investigator is now on the international community to move forward because ultimately what she wants to see she wants to see the perpetrator brought to justice marty has a live in geneva for us thank you very much indeed now the palestinians are very emphatically rejected the u.s. administration's 50000000000 dollar economic proposal it was unveiled by jared the white house senior advisor at a conference in bahrain on tuesday thousands of palestinians have been marching in protest him and both girls and in the occupied west bank they say they will not

trade their rights for money leaders have already boycotted the 2 meeting in bahrain and israel wasn't invited. the elephant in the room and man is of course. this is the israeli occupation which was never mentioned not once with all its manifestations including land including theft of resources and theft of palestinian funds and system of total can control. and of course the steps of violence home demolitions the siege of gaza the constant. vests but his calling his economic plan an opportunity of the century for palleted palestinians and the 1st step towards a political solution to the israeli palestinian conflict saudi arabia and the u.a.e. they say their backing his proposal by direct message to the palestinian people is

that despite what those who have let you down in the past tell you president trump and america have not given up on you this workshop is for you the vision we developed and released if executed correctly will lead to a better future for the palestinian people a future of dignity prosperity and opportunity you can change your course for the positive if we are willing to try new things and think outside of the traditional box. well our correspondent rob matheson has been at one of the protest singles. this is the 2nd day of protests here in gaza where people here have been voicing their opposition to the barker in conference to say there was a general strike and early on why this day it was a large crowd that marched through the streets of gaza city this meeting which is close to the israeli border is entitled confronting a good deal of the century security i've been trying very hard to keep people away

from the border they don't want to risk any confrontations with disagree forces at this time but people here are saying that the deal of the century so hold is simply a u.s. economic deal that it does ignore their demands for a political solution they say that yes they want billions of dollars in investment but they want a political solution to the conflict with israel or the conference in bahrain is juicy and one where the unstable palestinians have been saying that there are about it is very likely to continue. the u.n. has warned that washington's decision to end waivers the country's exports saying it rained you know importing i should say iranian oil will hurt the 3050 nuclear deal and the european union has also reiterated that there is no present credible and peaceful alternative to the nuclear deal of 2015 both the u.n. and the e.u.

had envoys addressing the security council in new york on the tensions between the u.s. and iran let's go live now to see average transit is there at u.n. headquarters in new york right give us a sense of the tone then of the debate that was had between these senior envoys. well at the headline of this meeting this was a briefing on the secretary general's report on compliance with the iran nuclear deal and the headline was for the 15th time in a row iran has been found to be in full compliance with the iranian nuclear deal but then there is this caveat which is the americans are not in compliance but it's not put like that it's very mild criticism very mild expressions of regret even that statement from the un secretary-general relayed by his envoy at the council was all leading we regret this that this may jeopardize the j.c.

pierre way the iranian nuclear deal if if you call that iran sell its oil or if you don't let iran export its uranium to russia as access you writing to russia what in fact those are the key pillars of the j c p a way one economic the economic benefits for iran and 2 the ability for it to export elements of its nuclear program elsewhere to make sure that it complies with the with the nuclear deal and it's all very you know well we regret this is terrible and then there's all sorts of stuff about iran you know completely unrelated to the tracy pierre hay mention there which of course the americans and the security council seized upon and talked about for most of their a lot of time at the security council so it's very skewed a very skewed process and so the iranians said once again look as far as we're concerned we have it we've been terribly reasonable about this we're in compliance and now we're saying look our patience is wearing thin and they love to they kind of scoffed at the offer of unconditional negotiations but the americans appear to

be offering to the iranians so what is unconditional to go mean when the background to that all the conditions that the u.s. does not has completely violated the j c p a way it's threatening iran with obliteration it has all economic war on iran and then it says oh we'll have we'll have unconditional talks with you just do whatever you have whatever. ready come into it we know we have your best interests at heart so it was here that that skewering of perhaps logic it was very much on display in fact the russians said the russian ambassador said look at what is going on here on the one hand the americans they walk away from this deal then they threaten the signatories who do abide by the deal with punishment if they carry on abiding but then they insist iran does abide by the deal all the while once while the u.s. has completely violated the deal it doesn't really seem to make sense. he had thanks for that yeah britain's live at the un in new york.
