one education system that was introduced. in latin america this year has come to fill a void that needed to be filled. this is 0. hello and welcome pollen you're watching the news hour live from doha it's good to have your company coming up in the next 60 minutes the alleged 911 attacks mastermind offers to cooperate in a lawsuit against saudi arabia if the u.s. drops seeking the death penalty against him. at least 57 inmates are killed in a prison riots between rival gangs in northern brazil.
5:01 am
more protests in sudan out to security forces opened fire at a demonstration in north quarter fun killing 5 people. and commuter chaos protesters block hong kong's train services as part of their anti government campaign. so the alleged mastermind of the september 11th attacks says he may be willing to help the victims in their lawsuit against saudi arabia and return khalid shaikh mohammad wants the u.s. government not to seek the death penalty against a the saudi government has been accused of supporting those behind the 2001 attacks which killed nearly 3000 people the attackers hijacked 4 planes and flew them into the world trade center the pentagon and a pennsylvania field saudi arabia denies any involvement from washington d.c.
5:02 am
here is political hay and explaining the court proceedings so far. this offer of assistance 1st comes in this court filing it's all part of the lawsuit from the survivors and victims of $911.00 against the government of saudi arabia so as part of this process the lawyer said that they needed to speak with the people who are in custody accused of being a can being behind or committing the 911 attacks one of those is collegiate muhammad so in this fall in the lawyer say they reached out to his representatives and he's choosing not to cooperate in this deposition at this time and they say the main reason is because fear of the death penalty in the go on to say that he would be much more willing to cooperate if the death penalty was no longer a concern the problem for the lawyers in this 911 case is this is a civil litigation what the he's referring to is the criminal trial so they're really not connected to each other that said these victims these survivors they do have a lot of sway in congress they were able to get congress to change the law so that
5:03 am
they could even susa the arabia the president the time president barack obama vetoed that legislation and they were able to override a veto which is something that's pretty much only done in about 10 percent of the cases so they have some sway to put pressure on the government that said the current president do us president donald trump has shown an willingness to go against saudi arabia at all so if this would put them in jeopardy it's unlikely that the president would push for a plea deal to be made for klute shaikh muhammad this is unusual most of the time presidents don't get involved in judicial proceedings but this is a president who has shown he's willing to do that not just in the u.s. but abroad as well oh here's some background the 55 year old colleague shaikh mohammad was an alleged al qaeda operative who is captured in pakistan he has been held for nearly 13 years said the u.s. military base at guantanamo in cuba where he and 4 others are charged with war
5:04 am
crimes. he was subjected to so-called enhanced into interrogations by the cia without a trial in 2008 the united states announced it would seek the death penalty against him a year later mohammed confessed and pleaded guilty to the attacks he's not been convicted yet well glencora was a deputy national intelligence officer for transnational threats at the cia and he says it's unclear how useful khalid shaikh mohammed's testimony would be he does know quite a bit about the structure of al qaida the individual personalities citizens taken how things happened a lot of that was here is his thinking so i think he does have information certainly. isn't usable in a court of law in the united states is one of the big questions and that's not all the answer to that is not at all clearly yes because information obtained has been tainted. the defense claims and with is caused by having
5:05 am
used illegal methods and has interrogation which is you who is in pretoria or just for starters. the u.s. president has signed a new law giving permanent benefits to 1st responders who became ill in the aftermath of the september 11th attacks the legislation guarantees federal funding through to the year 2902 for more than 18000 people 1st responders who rushed to the site of the twin towers in new york were exposed to toxic chemicals causing serious illness and hundreds of deaths. well trump has been criticized for saying that he was there alongside the 1st responder responders in the aftermath of the attacks he made the comments at an address before signing the bill into law. many of those affected were firefighters police officers and other 1st responders and i was down there also but i'm not considering was no 1st responder but i was down
5:06 am
there spent a lot of time down there with you so i know trump will likely be able to sell $8000000000.00 worth of weapons to saudi arabia after a last ditch effort to stop him failed u.s. senators were unable to reach the 2 thirds majority which is needed to override trumps vetoes the previous resolutions which blocked the proposed sales to saudi arabia politicians opposed to the sales for the weapons could be used against civilians in the war in yemen and other news at least 57 inmates have been killed in a prison riots in brazil 16 of the prisoners were beheaded during the violence that lost it for 5 hours the others suffocated to death after their cells were set on fire i will gangs attacked each other in a prison in the southwest region of pata 2 of the staff were held hostage are those justice ministry says it's working with the regional authorities to investigate the attack our correspondent there is a bull has more from what i'm sorry. another brutal riots in brazil this time in
5:07 am
the city of media in the northern state of apparently at 7 o'clock in the morning this monday a group of gang members tried to take over another side of a prison there and that's what started this fighting apparently they set up several roadblocks of fires in order to prevent also relief from reaching the area that's where the major fighting took place and that's where at least 52 people were killed 16 of them were beheaded and the others died because of thoughtful cation it's not clear yet what started the fighting most of these are saying that it's a fighting between them for control of drugs around that area but it's not clear yet and there is an investigation ongoing the minister of justice in brazil said your model calls for an urgent meeting he also isolated the gang members and increased security in that area this whole incident lasted for about 5 hours but
5:08 am
this type of prison rights are very common in northeastern brazil mostly because it has one of the 3rd of the world's 3rd largest prison population one of the highest homicide rates in the world the situation in the prisons with overcrowding violence and inhumane conditions is what makes the situation even worse and that's why it away with gang members use brutal ways in order to send messages to those from rival organizations most of the government have taken immediate action in order to solve the situation increased security intelligence among other things but they do not solve the real problems within the prisons which is mostly overcrowding and also shortages of staff among other things ok let's put this into incident in context brazil a has the world's 3rd largest prison population and prison violence has been an ongoing issue 56 prisoners were killed in may when the fighting broke out in 4 different jails and was on a state and 10 unaids died from gang related violence last year at
5:09 am
a prison and the country's northeastern sierra state the worst incident happened 2 years ago when nearly 150 prisoners were killed in the weeks of violence between rival gangs. jeffrey lester the director of class m. holland city of fargo have an effective emory university and he says the harsh conditions in presidents often a little room for and mates we have a taste. these riots are just relieving to what's going on in the prison whether they're off by a tensions between criminal organizations outside of the prison which then get resolved if you will inside the prison. it is very there is very very little. very few services for rehabilitation of the prison system so old are the office of the rehabilitated they are taking off busy busy and. young people and making them into all more hardened criminals and that in part is because brazil has. been
5:10 am
so it was an extremely weak state and because the state is weak the criminal gangs expand so what you have in these cases are for example a lack of guards guards who are poorly a lack of police a lack of services in the prisons themselves and so not surprisingly the prison just becomes a kind of the coolest order reflection of 2 other issues that are going on in brazilian society which itself has a very very high on the psyche it's it's an extremely violent country. inter in terms of in terms of policy. there have been more protests across the dawn after the killing a practice in north kordofan state doctors say at least 5 people were killed by security forces when they opened fire on
