perpetrator is in the urban the wing of the out the kurdistan workers party which makes it easy for him to blend into society in the last one week right before the assassination the perpetrator has visited a. camp in mom or 4 times that's why it is strongly believed that the order came from the peak it came mainly from martin rees stem camp inside mark more of a top court in the netherlands is up held an earlier ruling that the country is partly liable for the deaths of $350.00 bosnian muslim men killed at trevon it's are in $995.00 the supremes court at the hague said dutch peacekeeping forces could have allowed the men to stay at a un stay safe haven during the war but instead the men were expelled they were handed over to bosnian serb troops before they were killed let's speak now to
6:01 pm
size next whose research nevers institute for war holocaust and genocide studies is joining us on skype from. so so then this is the final court ruling on this particular case is it suggesting then that the state the netherlands itself is responsible at least in part for what was your swirsky massacre since the 2nd world war. indeed this concludes the. case of litigation which was started by the mothers of srebrenica and some of the relatives of men and boys who were murdered in 1905 and today the supreme court basically confirms an earlier ruling by id appeals courts which held that actually the dutch peacekeepers and also just states acted unlawfully by not offering protection for $850.00 plus new york men and boys in
6:02 pm
1905 and they also ruled the. level of responsibility considering the entire context and all factors and factors at that time start stands at 10 percent where. earlier courts still sense that the model of responsibility laid at 30 percent so that's actually the only difference in today's ruling by the supreme court how did they arrive at that value of the state being responsible for 10 percent of this tragedy and what are the implications of that. it is a bit of an odd exercise of mathematics calculating what is the responsibility for during a situation that actually courts have rendered to be genocides what the courts did in this specific case about this for a 150 men in specific circumstances is that it sets there were different factors at
6:03 pm
play there were different actors playing and. considering all those other actors so perhaps they are 90 percent deducts peacekeepers then only for 10 percent. responsibility for d. and tire acts. obviously this has a consequence for possible future litigation concerning reparations where the relatives of these victims of course will now apply for reparations but with the dark states only being liable for 10 percent the amount of money they will in the end gets will be less right and how heavily has this whole episode of the dutch role instead been it's a weighed upon the the psyche the consciousness if you like of the dutch people. it is a very long story and a big debate here in the netherlands of course since 1905 already and there have
6:04 pm
been big investigations into the history of what happened there have been parliamentary commissions inquiring about what had happened there actually a government stepped down so up and until this day it is still a matter of concern in the netherlands but also for the peacekeepers so last week some of the dutch peacekeepers who were actually involved in this particular case also are suing the states saying that the dutch state actually put them in a situation which was unmanageable and they could actually not do anything so the knife cuts 2 edges in the debates in the middle and also this is not the 1st case so there were some cases before where the dutch state was also health was sponsible for some of the killings that took place in 1005 but it's related only to a couple of individual cases of bosniaks who were actually on the payroll of the
6:05 pm
dutch peacekeepers forces so i think with this there will be other litigations coming. from surrogates and from bosnia into the netherlands right take a thank you very much indeed buck next the children just live an agitator thank you very much you're welcome still to come here and algae there. i'm going to continue like that. one of the u.s. congresswoman targeted by president johnson racist comments says she won't be intimidated and taking in we meet the indonesians living in the shadow of a volatile volcano and finding ways to keep themselves safe.

6:35 pm
those who. despite the aggressive posturing in india's last election the party failed to win a single seat in carolina. but beyond politics there is strong support here for upholding the temple's tradition even among women you can. do anything with. their you know that it was going to carry a very bad image to them anybody who thinks they are going to have to make it in the night this is because. these are deep rooted beliefs that have been ingrained over generations the ban on women is extreme but most temples in india forbid women from entering when their menstruating. religion imposes these ideas of purity and impurity during the menstruation period
6:36 pm
and there's no real basis in science for this something dirty it's not something. horrible because. this blood coming out of the. bacteria. and have you read any sort of medical books that have said. i didn't. mean it will get this. i heard it is. your visions i had. been do is fight against these beliefs. she's finally going home today after a month in hiding. she's under police escort and will continue to have round the clock protection.

campaign account it was then channeled to the foundation account of salute him up or so and then from there channeled to other beneficiaries so this is really opened up a can of worms in terms of how far these investigations could go but also one important point is that during this process they've been media reports not only of the $35000.00 that was donated to sort of my post as campaign by person but further amounts that to go up to about $28000000.00 she hasn't dealt with that in this specific report but she has ours that all his donations be declared so this certainly opens up the president to further investigation and in fact there has if in fact there has been money laundering. and let's talk about the former president who's also brawled in corruption allegations where does the commission of inquiry inquiry go next jacob zuma. withdrawing.

throughout his testimony during the week jacob zuma was meant to answer questions around him being implicated in state corruption by a number of other witnesses he said he was unhappy with the nature of the questions that he took the form of a cross-examination and that the commission was approaching him as if you were guilty rather than as a witness as you said is now withdrawn and that leaves the commission in a position where they may now have to subpoena the former president to return to that commission but it certainly doesn't come as a surprise i think to many south africans that he's withdrawn even though he had given the commission the understanding that he would continue to appear and this is after his lawyers and the lawyers from the commission spoke about how he would be questioned and the nature of the commission and what its mandate is but now that is withdrawn it's uncertain if you will willingly return if the commission will
6:54 pm
subpoena him and just exactly when the commission will go in terms of its findings the commission doesn't necessarily result in any prosecutions that any potential for investigation would then happen following the the commission of inquiry coming to an end it's not known when that will happen but essentially between. former president jacob zuma for south africans even the public space is really dominated by a former president implicated in state corruption and now also a sitting president who has questions to answer. from either miller from pretoria. now turkey says its warplanes and drones of hit multiple targets in the kurdish region of northern iraq the air strikes were in response to the murder of one of its diplomats on wednesday a gunman shot and killed turkey's deputy consul general and 2 other people turkish and iraqi authorities are looking for 27 year old muslim diag is believed to have

joined the kurdistan workers' party or p k k in 2014 the group is deemed a terrorist organization by turkey and the united states let's go live now to natasha or lame she's following the story from arab meal where the attack happened let's start with. what do we know about the suspect. well sammy investigators are describing a dog he's 27 years old. pardon me for the most pronounced the nation he's been described as the primary suspect in the shootings that led to the assassination of turkish diplomat also man corsa and 2 other iraqi kurds who were in the restaurant on wednesday evening when these shootings took place now we are getting a more clearer picture from investigators regarding exactly who allegedly assassinated. and why as you mention dog was according to
6:56 pm
investigators of the p.k. k. which is an armed group kurdish group he had been living here in erbil though according to investigators working as a waiter at a cafe investigators spoke to the owner of that cafe who described as a. quiet man and expressed concern or not concern the expression shock that he might be wanted in connection with the shootings investigators wit are saying that last week he visited this p.k. k. training site that was the focus of turkish military airstrikes this morning and there was a thought that perhaps after the shootings on wednesday evening that day may have fled there there were only injuries during this morning's airstrikes and the turkish military was clear to point out that only the p.k. k. suspected p. k. k.
6:57 pm
training facility was targeted no civilians were targeted. you know it's important to note that although investigators are pinpointing the p.k. k. as being responsible for these shootings hours after the shootings on wednesday evening a military spokesman with the p k k spoke to iraqi state media and said that the p.k. k. was not responsible but it's also important to note that the p.k. k. is a very large group. it has been described as somewhat centralized. the one thing is certain according to political analysts that we're speaking to the motivation for this assassination is meant to sabotage destabilize 9 whatever you want to call it the relationship between turkey and the kurdistan regional government the 2 have substantial economic ties which involve oil involve many

investments here in erbil the cost of the restaurant where this happened is in this building behind me that is the turkish owned restaurant you will see turkish restaurants and businesses of all kinds one analyst told me there are at least 2000 turkish businesses in northern iraq and the 2 also have many security concerns in northern iraq this is a mountainous region it shares a border with turkey and that border is described as a very busy one so we are getting a at least from investigators a clearer picture of the exactly who might be responsible and why and sammy what i would be looking for in the coming days is perhaps more photos to be distributed the photo of dag has been widely distributed among media outlets here the public is being asked to contact police if they have any information about his whereabouts
6:59 pm
he's one of 3 people that they're looking for and there were multiple security cameras inside the restaurant that documented everything that happened so perhaps we may be getting more pictures in the coming days as this manhunt continues and clearly as a scramble of investigators on both the turkish side and the k r g continues to try to apprehend those responsible the turkish head of intelligence is in the country with a team of investigators that are working with investigators here in kurdistan region as well thanks so much the national name. well from istanbul all his sin and cos all knew with more details about the man believed to be behind wednesday's attack this is a very tough situation not only for the turkish officials but also for the kurdish officials turkish officials are very angry because a diplomat has been shot and the kurdish officials are angry because in this

happened in a very safe city air bill where there are diplomatic missions and there where there are so many business companies a stabber so this is a risk for other diplomatic missions as well and i'm hearing that other diplomatic missions in ever ask for extra protection from the kurdish officials but there is one thing that they met on the common ground both based on the soul of evidence and the camera pictures of the restaurant and in the surrounding area is that the perpetrator muslim the who is the turkish citizen is a member of the p.k. k. according to officials he joined the output kurdistan workers party in 2014 and he has been working as a waiter since then according to kurdish office shows the perpetrator is in the urban the wing of the out the kurdistan workers.
