a humanitarian hand taiwan's president says the self ruling island would give refuge to protesters from hunted kong. and in sport peter has details of a refereeing 1st for rugby league in australia. but 1st south africa's president cyril ramaphosa is rejecting charges he deliberately misled parliament he says the country's anti corruption watchdog has not given his statements due consideration so the answer corruption body says ramaphosa failed to report a 30 $5000.00 donation to his campaign the president denied any knowledge of the donation when asked about it in parliament last year from either miller has the latest from pretoria. president finds himself in a very difficult position now that the report by the public protector was released

that says that he violated the executive ethics code in that he received money that he didn't declare but also that he misled parliament with the onset questions of the campaign donation public protector's said that he should have declared these amounts and that when he spoke to paul collins saying that the money in fact wins to a foundation of his sons. he then came back to say that that money in fact was received by his campaign there is also an issue of potential money laundering in that money was donated to his campaign that money was then channeled to while rather was channeled of from the trust to his campaign and then channeled through to other beneficiaries the public protector once this investigated by the national prosecuting authority she's also said that she wants this report. to parliament's ethics committee ethics committee is likely to investigate further but this also doesn't prevent members of parliament who are perhaps pushing for

a motion of no confidence in this comes at a time when the former president jacob zuma is sitting before a commission of inquiry into. and the narrative in south africa south africans concerned to the extent of corruption not only is a film of president being questioned around his possible role but now a sitting president has also been implicated with regard to money that was donated to his presidential campaign for the african national congress let's speak to richard callan he's an associate professor at the university of cape town's public law department who's joining us from cape town thanks very much for speaking to us on the al-jazeera news hour or so as we've been reporting the president is rejecting charges that he deliberately misled parliament how do you think this is all going to play out. well it's been a day of high drama here in south africa former president zuma walking out of the

commission of inquiry into state capture reform minded successor so are i'm opposed to put on the for the pressure by a rogue public protector i say road protect advisedly very because context of course is everything and this latest report from the public tectum must see as must be seen as part of a pattern of conduct on where she is essentially siding with a faction that is aligned to the former president jacob zuma and is trying to stall ram opposers reform efforts which are designed to clean up the state and reclaim lost integrity in public institutions so that's the context and therefore in my view the public sector lacks credibility and her latest report is yet another effort by her to harm the president politically and she may well once again as the county courts of found a more than one occasion recently she may well of overstepped our own authority in

terms of her recommendations stand by for a 2nd because of course the other big story in south africa is on the former president jacob zuma because he's agreed to continue giving evidence at a corruption inquiry going on he had earlier refused to do so saying that he was being treated unfairly and the commission is looking into allegations of corruption in government and state owned companies so richard callan so is there a strategy behind this that the former president said ok i'm no longer doing this and then his legal team come out and say well no he'll provide testimony but written testimony. all those of us who have been watching jacob zuma in action for over 20 years will know that this is typical zuma this is from his filibustering playbook what he likes to do is play cat and mouse these kinds of inquiries he tries to exercise whatever leverage he can over process in order to gain political and legal

advantage he came to the commission voluntarily this week he spoke at great length of this week about international campaign to assassinate him to remove him from power it is a level best to deflect attention from the real purpose of the inquiry which is to focus on his and his cronies efforts to steal state institutions state capture we call it over recent years when he was in power today he threatened to walk out his lawyers said there was an abuse of process they said the questions that were being put to him by the inquiry were unfair because he was being cross-examined many south africans including lawyers might like myself would say well that's the purpose of an inquiry it is to test the evidence it is to put to difficult questions to people when as i know our president and why reset in seumas case abuse that power isn't the purpose of the inquiry as well is to get sort of concrete and clear answers from zuma on this alleged corruption that he could have been involved in and if it doesn't what's at stake for the inquiry itself.

well that's absolutely right the purpose of a commission of inquiry additional commission inquiry is to get to the truth it's received over nearly a year now a myriad of evidence from numerous witnesses who have given chapter and verse detailed accounts of the corruption that played out on the enabling environment created by president jacob zuma he now comes to give evidence but during the course of this week it was unable to recall details it was deflecting these mannah evaluated on stream the real questions and then when the questioning got tough and as a result of that obfuscation he then threatened to walk out saying in effect through his legal team that the questions were too tough and therefore unfair all right richard calland we thank you very much for speaking to us from cape town 2 people were killed and at least 18 others injured after a massive explosion at

in hong kong the taiwanese government has not confirmed the story but it has said interestingly that it will be prepared to offer refuge for political reasons and it is a position that supported by side when taiwan's president it comes at a time of course as taiwan prepares for presidential elections so local politics could be at play here but it also further complicates the relationship between mainland china hong kong and taiwan beijing will be infuriated at the prospect of taiwan interfering in what it considers its internal affairs here in hong kong and the way that hong kong is reintegrated into mainland china rafter years as a british colony is meant to be a possible model for the future reintegration of taiwan then you defied china obviously the way that the unrest has unfolded on the streets here at home kong

over the past couple of months will give ammunition to the very many vocal parties in taiwan who say that at all costs they should be keeping a distance from beijing let's say to any she's the acting director of amnesty international taiwan's joining us via skype from taipei thanks for speaking to us on the news hour as we know taiwan has no formal refugee laws so none of the protesters can actually see political asylum but what is the significance of them going to taiwan in your opinion. so the sort of practice although we don't have we have country without refugee law so far however we do have regulation between taiwan and hong kong and macau there's this act taught called act governing act governing the relations with how kind of like how in article i say necessary assistance show be provided to him come in macau residents who safety and i mean

for political reasons so we believe there is actually a way that one and his government could sap those those that see the ends and the president is telling voice her support for such a move does this risk if you're reading china in your opinion. yes but no well i'm in because we're amnesty international and human rights organization we do we do believe that when time when saying we should make those decisions based on humanitarian principles that's what we should do that's that and that's the right thing to do so what do you make of that particular statement how do you read into it that she said the government will follow humanitarian principles i suppose welcome statement by amnesty international yes that's how we believe so because we never ever as that and the refugee speak for but according to

do this act between between we and hung and as we see that that's high government has been really supportive. of many states so we believe that saying that and mean it to what extent do you think that the case of the bookseller. who fled to taiwan back in april set a precedence for these hong kong protests that have now reportedly fled to taiwan and also we're hearing reports off there could be a couple more to flee to taiwan as well. yes how we're not sure but you don't see he has been in town for a couple months and when his government has been making exceptions for him to extend staying in taiwan so far. as an amnesty international we're not sure if he could at that residence the refugee i.d. or not but as that has got me there's a big. but i mentioned there's this act that they could exercise ok we thank you

the congo in the past year catherine sawyer reports from nairobi. grandmother there's a pensive mood in a market southwest in uganda a congolese fishmonger who visited the market to buy fish for trade died of a bolo and she turned home she came by road on a motorcycle was a regular here interacted with many people health workers looking for several high risk contacts some of whom are say to have gone into hiding my seeing on your own burial who knew the woman does not believe she died of it it's a believe many people also share complicating government efforts to deal with it. i mean she was pregnant and she had a miscarriage everyone knows that people who touch to have not died why are you saying she had women bleed then they have a miscarriage that's what we know. this is one of the busiest trade routes between uganda. but the border is porous and many people use informal crossings to get from

one country to the other but have a look at what to do if someone comes to the market how are we supposed to know that the took not everyone uses from across. the wall health organization has now declared outbreak an international public health emergency he says based on the high risk of the disease spreading across the region the fact that it's still flaring a year after it started and the incredibly volatile security situation health workers are working under health workers we've talked to say the declaration could not have come sooner they want more logistical help and money they're also dealing with local communities that don't trust them and in areas where militias have been attacking them as well as a bowler treatment centers up to 10. kids have been killed since the outbreak began a year ago the securities are meant to you know people have expertise we work with the community but i think the 1st really so good to lizzie is to really get the

point where it is a complete certainty project it will help focus us wise gauge milly's capital forces for now the focus is to make sure that it does not spread in goma a strategic city after preacher who tested positive of the disease diet and to regional countries or other parts of. katherine sawyer nairobi. the netherlands has accepted it is partially responsible for the deaths of $350.00 bosnian muslims when 1905 srebrenica massacre the supreme court said peacekeeping forces could have allowed the men to remain at a un safe haven during the war but the court also reduced the blame on the state saying peacekeepers could have been overrun by bosnian serb forces. from the hague. the supreme court didn't find that the state liable for the debts off men and boys outside the compound but fines impartially liable for the debts of

boys and men who were in the compound during that time. the supreme court means 10 percent and not 30 percent as the court of appeal decided before the court concluded even if they were not forced to leave the base the possibility that these 2 is not higher than 10 percent mothers of 70 eight's are not satisfied with the court decision they say it's a political decision based on compromise the netherlands is liable but not the consequences for the country they're reminded also then in july 9095 under article it's gone on more than $8000.00 bosnian muslim where killed instead and it's when did nothing to prevent it more than 12 and boston muslims are still missing in 7 it's well let's take a closer look at what happened so in 1902 the bosnian serb army lead siege to

sarajevo the capital of bosnia and herzegovina more than 11500 people were killed in july 1905 bosnian serb army captured the town of. killing more than 8000 bosnian muslim men and boys it was europe's worst mass killing since world war 2 among them were 350 people who were taking refuge in the dutch battalions based near the town but they were expelled by the peacekeepers and later murdered by bosnian serbs earlier my colleague martin denis spoke to connect he's a researcher at the netherlands institute for war holocaust and genocide and he thinks even though the supreme court upheld the earlier ruling it's also reduce the liability of the dutch states. they also ruled. the level of responsibility considering the entire context and all factors and factors at that time stands at 10 percent where the 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's in the hague 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 deaths during a situation that actually courts have rendered to be genocide what the courts did this specific case about this for a $150.00 men in specific circumstances is that it sets there were different factors at play there were different factors at play and. considering all those other actors so perhaps there 90 percent of the dutch peacekeepers then only for 10 percent have responsibility for d.

and so you are. obviously just 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 get will be less let's go back to a story we told you about a moment ago be able outbreak in the democratic republic of congo and we'll speak to anthony bambery he's the former head of on a mirror that is the united nations mission for him to respond to the 2014 ebola outbreak is joining us from washington d.c. thanks very much for joining us on the al-jazeera news hour so you dealt with this the last time around serving in anime or at the height of the ebola crisis in 2014 how concerning is this latest outbreak not only in democratic republic of congo ending goma specifically but now it's on the border with rwanda as well as cases

identified in uganda. it's extremely concerning and it's been very concerning for several months unfortunately we have not seen the kind of international response necessary to stem the tide and many of us who are involved in the west africa crisis bola crisis in 2014 have been saying for many months that the mistakes that were made in that crisis are simply being repeated now and we've been predicting it's going to continue to spread and it's going to continue to get worse until the lessons from the previous crisis are applied to the current one you know we'll talk about some of those lessons that could have been learned in a moment but let me ask you this the u.n. agency their world health organization were saying earlier this week declared the latest outbreak an international health emergency 1st of all what does that mean in terms of international support and response well

hopefully we'll start to see more international attention and leadership on this crisis one of the big turning points in the 2014 crisis when was when international figures like president obama prime minister abi of japan the u.n. secretary general when they really got involved the world community the leaders need to treat this as the emergency it is and in unless we see that international leadership the crisis is going to continue to get worse the way chose declaration of international public health emergency is an important step but i think it should have been done months ago you know why do you think that it wasn't done months ago as you say it's been declared now almost a year to the date that the this evil outbreak was the clarity. well i think in some respects it's for the same reasons w.h.o. did not declare international public health emergency early enough in the 2014 west

africa crisis i heard a very senior w.h.o. official on the radio just one or 2 days ago say that one reason they didn't declare it was because the government of the democratic republic of congo was against it and that was similar in guinea and syrah leone and liberia last time around and in incorporating those kinds of political considerations and not wanting to offend the government is was one of the huge mistakes of the 2014 crisis and it's really devastating to hear that the very same mistake is being repeated in the current crisis what sort of lessons mr bambery can be applied from the 2014 outbreak to what's happening today. the most important lesson is to act early in integrated fashion by integrated i mean across the u.n. system not just w.h.o.

doing its thing in unicef doing its thing and some n.g.o.s doing their thing but you need an integration of the entire international and national response and that needs to be done at an early stage and you need very strong political leadership and crisis leadership and that those pieces came together very late in the west africa crisis i was appointed as head of the emergency response in the at the peak of the crisis in september of 2014 we had lost so much time and so much ground by that point and unfortunately i have we haven't seen yet that political leadership crisis leadership or certainly not an early response or an integrated response across the international and national actors that are involved what about what's happening on the ground i know you're speaking to us from washington d.c. but you do have experience of those types of situations on the ground itself because this time around the ebola outbreak is taking place in

a conflict zone there is widespread malnutrition there is a struggling health system there is a volatile security situation not to mention of course reports of ebola workers themselves health workers coming under attack in certain places how challenging is all of this for the health workers on the ground trying to do their job and contain the virus. there's no question about it that this is an extremely challenging situation for the international community and for the health workers on the ground for all the reasons you've just cited i will point out though that basically all those characteristics were present in the 2014 crisis health workers were tacked and killed some minutes and some frontier workers were killed in guinea there was very poor health infrastructure there was very rural lot of suspicion by the local communities so while there wasn't an active conflict there was certainly hostility to the health workers in the 2014 crisis so that

what you say just emphasizes even more how important it is because it's so challenging to treat it emphasize how important it is to treat this crisis as the complex emergency it is it's not just a health crisis it's a security crisis it's a communications crisis it's a logistics crisis and the response of the international and local authorities needs to take all that into account and give it the energy it needs and unfortunately just don't think we're seeing that yet ok we'll have to leave it there we thank you anthony bambery for speaking to us from washington d.c. thank you. the german chancellor angela merkel says she understands the questions surrounding her health after boats of shaking in recent weeks merkel has been seen trembling of public ceremonies raising fears her schedule could be affected by her health she initially dismissed the 1st episode

but sparked renewed concern when the shaking happened 2 more times merkel who turned 65 this week says she's feeling good and will be able to serve until the end of her term. mench as a person i also have a high personal interest in my health because 2021 is the end of my political work but then i hope that there will be another life and i would like to continue that healthy well japan has some in the south korean ambassador to settle a dispute over world war 2 compensation the 2 countries are at odds over a court decision ordering japanese companies to compensate south korean victims of forced labor during japan's colonial rule at the same time a trade route over high tech exports between the 2 countries is adding to a ready strained relations. are you going to do. japan's measures are putting their people and companies in a difficult position and causing damage to them

a situation such as this which is damaging the foundation of japan and south korea should be amended swiftly and a gigantic work of artist taking shape in los angeles a city known for its hollywood films the glamorous celebrities and beach town bodies so the work of art as a personal and different sort of fission of one man has more. robert vargas is painting an ode to the city he loves and he's chosen a big canvas it's 14 stories tall and $55000.00 square metres large towering over a parking lot right in the heart of los angeles this mural speaks about the history of los angeles its people the diversity and also kind of bridging the gap between the history of l.a. to where we are now as a people and honestly when we're going a few months from now the mural titled angelus will cover the entire wall of this

apartment building the building's owner is paying for the project vargas says when he's finished anja list will be the world's largest mural ever painted by a single individual at its center is a depiction of a tongue vonne native american child representing the people who lived here for millennia before the land was ruled by spain then mexico and now the united states at the top 3 angels fly triumphantly wings outspread vargas coaxed people from the bustling areas around the mural to model for one of the angels depicted is actually a homeless woman that is a frequent to this corner and i approached her and asked her if she. model for mean here's a woman who doesn't. doesn't have much hope and now she's painted

up there immortalized as kind of this beacon for hope there will be many more images in the finished work fargus uses no grids no outline sketched on the wall everything is done by hand and by the artists this is what i'm born to do i'm so focused and i'm so much in the zone when i'm working that nothing else exists outside of of where i'm at it's not easy work vargas has an assistant to oversee safety and check the harnesses they wear the platform shifts and swings underfoot and it's hot up there they heat painting in that in summer has been challenging because. the wall is as is baking in the sun i had one other question for the artist great a height. at thought i was before this but apparently not when vargas finishes his magnum opus there will be a new landmark and

a new symbol for the city of angels robert oulds al jazeera los angeles. still had on the others there a news hour this is the biggest outburst we have seen from folks straight in a long time. i'll tell you what caused a 6 year old baseball coach to lose his cool stories coming up in just a moment from paper and sports.
