who gave instructions to the saudi official in riyadh to give this kind of support to the hijackers the saudi hijackers who are here in california it opens a whole host of questions about the nature of official saudi involvement in the 911 attacks lawyers for victims of the 911 attacks say they are pleased with the justice department's decision but say they look forward to more revelations coming out in the coming days and weeks this all comes at a critical time in relations between riyadh and washington october 2nd marks the one year anniversary of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul a killing the cia said was likely ordered by crown prince mohammed bin. but u.s. president donald trump still considers saudi arabia a key u.s. ally because in part the kingdom buys billions of dollars in arms purchases from the u.s.

some of those arms used in the saudi led war in yemen now in its 5th year it has killed tens of thousands of people but for the victims of the worst attack on u.s. soil getting to know the name of this saudi official allegedly involved will aid their efforts to finally get justice for those who died on 911 gabriel's andro al-jazeera washington. hundreds have been protesting against gender based violence in south africa's biggest city johannesburg the south african police estimate that a woman is raped every 36 seconds the demonstrators accuse the government of not properly dealing with the issue president said obama has admitted south africa is facing a crisis of violence against women and he's promised tougher laws well crime figures from the last financial year show a 4.6 percent increase in sexual assaults including rape with over $50000.00 cases reported the world health organization put south africa among the 4 worst countries

media reports for example there was a young university student in cape town who when visiting a post office in recent weeks was it was sexually assaulted and murdered and for many of the people here that's just the final straw and there are government but also corporate south africa for businesses in this country to take action and to make a decisive stand they want businesses to. contribution at least 2 percent of their annual profits to a council dealing with gender based violence that was expected to find ways to come back to these crimes but also in a way that civil in the service has more of an impact than what's been happening with regard to the action the government has taken so people here are demanding that the is significant action and at the situation improves a woman in south africa is killed every 3 hours and given the latest latest crime statistics police say that the number of sexual assault reports have increased to

52000 and that's in the last year in fact the number of women murdered has also doubled in the last few years are people here saying they want immediate action from government and business from it a bit of joining us live from johannesburg for the thanks very much indeed. so i had an al-jazeera. i'm here mohamed on the island of borneo where indonesia's new capital is changing the belts let's tell you why people here are so concerned. and we look at how a book in a fossil is government is cracking down on vigilante groups. hello again welcome back to international weather forecast or here across parts of the iberian peninsula things are going to be looking much better than what they had been over the last few days we've been seeing a lot of rain across much of that area now friday will still be

after inside story by foot. it's running take to. go back to the ponds 1st 2nd time in less than 6 months. benjamin netanyahu wanted one riddled with criminal investigation. israel's political future. and this on al-jazeera. can have benjamin netanyahu push ahead with this threat to annex the jordan valley these really prime ministers pledge to the world if reelected so is it an election ploy to woo voters and what will the outcome be this is inside story. hello i'm imran khan welcome to the program it's being called an act of aggression

that could lead to war but that hasn't deterred israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu from promising to annex large parts of the occupied west bank if he wins next week's snap election netanyahu is fighting for his political career after an inconclusive vote in april and he says israel will apply israeli serenity to the jordan valley and the northern dead sea immediately if he secures a 5th term the jordan valley and the northern dead sea make up 30 percent of the occupied west bank approximately 65000 palestinians and 11000 israelis living in illegal settlements reside in that area the main palestinian city is jericho and that has about $28.00 villages and some bedouin communities under netanyahu plans jericho would largely be cut off from the rest of the west bank and would also in circle any future palestinian state there's

a lot to get into with our guest but 1st i need a brain has more from the jordan valley. we're standing and dross and always or village in the door than valley there's really prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he wants to annex this area he doesn't want to a next that's area over there jericho adelir all job because he says he won still complete and carry out his plan without an ex ng any single palestinian but there are palestinians here bedouin communities we've spoken to some of them and they believe that what ness and your how saying is part of his elections campaign there are more every gun be have is really elections be do it and the expense of the palestinian people net and you know ses i want to and next a jorgen valley sure israelis will vote for him mark more goldman whose little bit of the how many terms will leave bitterness palestinians of been displease several times already is no place else force to go the jordan valley mix up one 3rd of the occupied west bank it's already under israeli military occupation and palestinian

see it as an integral part of their future palestinian state now this is under threat this is why many palestinian officials have been voicing concerns against netanyahu is demarc then are saying that netanyahu as this regarding international law only for him to win more votes the calling it's an act of ethnic cleansing is stealing palestinian lands and killing any opportunity for to a state solution let's bring in our panel joining us from west to roost in the mitchell brock c.e.o. of kiva on global research and a former adviser to israeli president shimon peres and from ramallah who is he secretary general of the palestinian national initiative and former palestinian information minister and from washington d.c. on skype abani coeditor of jeddah libya an online magazine focusing on middle east politics and culture welcome you all to the program let me start with mitchell

brock in west roussillon 1st the annexation is this electioneering chutzpah or i dead lee serious plan well that's a great word hutzpah i mean i really can't believe that you've taken his declaration so seriously that you're dedicating a whole show to it his campaign strategy so far has been to scare everyone scare the israeli public scare the palestinians scare the world and get people to vote and whatever it is he finds something and if it's not the thunder then the lightning will get you and if it's not the lightning it's the hail storms and it's the earthquakes and it's some catastrophe that's going to take place and that's what he's doing you cannot take anything that he says seriously during this election period especially the last week we have to take him seriously let's be honest is the there's the issue of the golan heights there's the move of the embassy to from tel aviv to jerusalem there is a number of things that happened it's not without the bounds of imagination that he

might well be serious about this i think we do have to take him seriously let's bring in midst of a booty in ramallah do you take the israeli leader seriously when he says he my onyx the west bank or the jordan valley i do not agree with what i didn't agree with what was the you think it's very serious it's a bit dangerous bottle for purposes which is led by an opinion but there's actually. reflecting the actual behavior and policy of those aniston movement in israel. let's talk about realities and facts unprecedented level of expansion of israeli illegal settlements in the occupied territories an agreement between netanyahu and his government and trump steam which seems to be working for netanyahu more than working for tom to implement his ideas that a coalition of if you lose a limb as a couple of israel the condition of the annexation of the golan heights. and attack

on a new cut of lot of funding from palestinian authority and united nations relief and works agency an actual plan to liquidate the palestinian refugee rights and an actual change in the american policy which stopped supporting the 2 state solution and now is talking about self governing authority under a system of apartheid on the ground what we see is a full fledged system of apartheid and frankly speaking i do not see much difference between gantz and that and you know they all are against stablish want of a palestinian state they are all for continuation of occupation and they are both. participating in consolidating a system of apartheid so no i take this very seriously. also speaking about an exception not only of jordan valley but of the whole area of sea and i

believe this is a trend that is going on fact to lead to consolidate apartheid and kill the option of 2 state solution which we are hearing that the palestinians and we not just from a suburb would see but the palestinians are taking this very seriously but there's another side to this is well. now that netanyahu has actually made this announcement he's playing to his right wing supporters those people will come out and vote for him after the election if he wins they going to hold him so this announcement they're going to want to see it done and if you can't give it to them there may well be another political crisis in israel surely. in the because. the only way that it's and now has a real path to government and i think he's in a real danger now and he was even on the radio today saying according to his internal polls he's going to lose which is another scare tactic another thing that he's telling people. what's probably going to happen is they're going to be some kind of unity government after the election which includes the likud or pieces of

the likud without it to now and the blue and white party of benny gantz and the lieberman party this will be one of the 1st things that's taken off the table because as mr barghouti said you know the facts on the ground are such that it's not going to really change anything meaning there are there are communities and settlements there it's regular life there nothing's going to really change so why do you need this change in legal status i think the only thing that we have to look for is what is the trump peace plan going to say i mean is this in the trump peace plan and the other thing that as i mentioned and maybe mr barghouti or the other guest can mention that is as you know there hasn't really been a partner on the palestinian side during that time and it's and now has been in office now isn't the greatest you know pursuer of peace and looking to settle the palestinian issue at the same time you know we are having a double election in one year it would be nice if the palestinian people could vote to as president abbas is entering his i don't know 12th year of his 4 year term so

there isn't a partner on the other side so i think a lot of israelis are hopeful that there will be some kind of change here in israel because he's been already a decade now in office and then on the palestinian side of things could be shaken up to there may be a chance to come to some kind of agreement especially with the trumpet ministration trump likes to shake things up he's got a plan he's working on for 2 years and you know i think his patience is also running out with israel and specifically with the turnout and he's going to want to do something to show especially now before the election he's got to show some pride progress in the middle. least in israel what the palace and he's given israel a lot of concessions for free and as we know there's no such thing as a free lunch someone's going to have to pay for it and we're going to have to pay for it after the election and that could be to the benefit of the palestinians let's bring in more in rabbani have from washington d.c. the other to guess that the palestinians clearly taking this latest announcement

very seriously mitchell barak saying well actually this is just electioneering what are your thoughts do you think that this is the death of the 2 state solution and it's now time to really take a look at alternatives. well it is a deluxe and get it in the sense that netanyahu is saying. this annexation it won't happen unless you both for me and i for the next government if you don't nothing changed but i fully agree with dr but hold to that it also reflects a much deeper it's a sense the logical culmination of half a century israeli occupation and expanding colonization of the west spec and i think the key issue here is that israeli leaders see the period between the conclusion that is really elections next week and the american presidential elections next year as a golden opportunity that may not be repeated to unilaterally seek to resolve core issues of the israeli palestinian conflict in close coordination with

washington in terms of the final part of your question i mean it israel has always wanted the 2 state settlement to be off the table and i bite my responsibility that this makes it that much more difficult doesn't take anything off because israel wants the table the key issue here i think is when it comes to these actions of the occupied territories israel has for all intents and purposes and acting with impunity for the past half century and the key issue now is will the international community continue to give israel at most a slap on the rez look the other way or will it confront israel with serious meaningful consequences for its conduct most of about who would say in ramallah i mean what are the palestinians options right now what can you dave. well let me 1st

say that tomorrow will be the 26th anniversary of illusion i don't call it an agreement i call it an illusion it was a trap. palestinians in. israel used the time very well to consolidate settlement expansion of the patient and the system for apartheid i do not see a difference i don't see any perspective for the peace process as long as the balance of power between us and israeli source skewed in the interest of this israeli trend which is the right to enter in i don't see a peace camp and there is no peace camp in it which can in gauge for the process and let me let me put it clearly what is the difference between gantz an attorney al gore and lieberman on the issue of yours and him none what is the difference between attorney organs and the government on the issue of removing settlements mun what is the difference between the 3 of them and the issue of palestinian statehood

also none they are all against separation of you lose a limb that are all against removing settlements that are all against palestinian state and in that sense i don't see a peace camp and that's why i think what we witnessed today and the israeli announcement liquids in a an ounce mr kid's announcement is about declaring the deaths of the so-called 2 state solution what could change the situation only 2 things palestinian resistance to this plan and international sanctions and as i don't see sanctions coming in i see a growing boycott divestment sanctions at the public level at the grassroots level but the governments of the world only issue a condemnation and statements which mean nothing unless that out acts of punishment unless as israel knows that there will be punitive acts against coalition of international law this course will not change but that does not leave palestinians without an option i believe. what we should do is 3 things 1st of all immediate end

of internal palestinian division only fight palestinian leadership as soon as possible 2nd in the ng the illusion of. and declaring a new alternative palestinian strategy which is based on popular nonviolent resistance as well as boycott divestment sanctions campaign and helping palestinian steadfast and still on the ground because we all know the israelis know that our numbers here in palestine is equal to the number of israeli jewish people and that is the main obstacle to the zionist plan finally i must see we should declare as palestinians that if you kill the 2 states option which is happening we will demand one state solution one state with full democratic rights for everybody from that over to the sea they don't want 2 states ok we'll fight against apartheid i know it will take a long time but that's the only course we have we have to fight for freedom we have to struggle for justice we have to struggle for real peace for

a lasting peace that can only happen on the basis of equality between the both people let's bring in mitchell brock when israelis have somebody like most of burgos he's speaking that way saying actually the 2 state solution is dead we need to look a real alternative in a one state solution that will scare a lot of people in israel but clearly what you've said and what you have been saying is that fair work for netanyahu is something that he's using to his advantage. well you know i 1st of all have to disagree with something dr barghouti said he says there's no difference between netanyahu gaunts and lieberman but there is a very big difference because netanyahu campaigned in 1996 that he would cancel the oslo accords he did it he was the one who implemented the oslo accords ok he was the one that withdrew from hebron ok against the wishes of the israeli people he was the one that enforced the oslo accords in the beginning when he was prime

minister when he took over as prime minister a decade ago when he took over as prime minister they're going to he gave the speech in very long supporting a 2 state solution i didn't hear ganser lieberman do that he was the finance minister i believe it is a single easement one month before the disengagement they made sure all the money was there to do that so any of the people in it and now is the most liberal it's and now it's done more for a 2 state solution it's a now does more than any of the one i'm sorry i'm not i out a hard let you know i stick around i like you i can't let you say that without with impunity mitchell he has built more settlements and that all illegal under international law than any other israeli leader and he hasn't read the peace process i believe that is not correct i die i actually think it is but let's say there was a listening of what the prime minister is he then born settlement he's declared his plan in 94 or it will he is not what he had but he hasn't been prime minister well that's an occasion that i believe that i think in this. place who i mean to have

courts busy i totally disagree with what was said not then you know perhaps in the land the death agreement he planned the death of 2 state solution all you need to do is to go back and that he and his book which he showed in 1900. place under the sun in which he said he's going to fight the possibility of a palestinian state that it was the bank some idea that he would would put building settlements he added if it did the israeli public to assassinate the it's. graben he was behind that and he's the one who blocked the implementation of oslo agreement and he and shot on later did everything they could to bury it he is the one who built so many settlements that not only him of course shot on participative every israeli that did that and that's why i said there's no difference between guns and not then you know india lity they're all to prison think one zionist movement that believes that the whole of palestine is jewish and that's why they

passed the jewish state law under not then you know what is the jewish state law it's about that isn't it's about saying that palestinians has not i to be in this land this man has contributed and established and consolidated not only occupation but a system of apartheid that is trying to kill any opportunity for peace and an opportunity for a future palestinian state that is the reality if there is a man who killed or slow more than anybody else it's not any oh let me bring in more in rabbani here from washington d.c. you've heard our other 2 gas agreement is nowhere near or even a consensus and fags between them what is left for the israeli palestinian peace process they don't seem to have an honest broker in the u.s. the e.u. seems to be failing when it comes to all of this and special organizations there doesn't seem to be any light on the horizon or am i being very pessimistic. well

let me 1st start by pointing out regarding the differences between the main history of leaders contests in next week's election the response of blue and white leader bennett dance to netanyahu is an exhibition proposal was to accuse netanyahu of stealing its ideas so that perhaps gives an indication of how close the mainstream israeli leaders are or that leaders who currently represent the israeli mainstream on issues when it comes to the city and i would argue there was a 60 meaningful peace process from the outset oslo was never about ending the israeli occupation of the west bank and the gaza strip and lamenting city itself determination throop our city and state but just as ready a refugee question oslo was a way to get around that consensus and a mechanism through which israel could reach configure its relations with the

palestinians and in the aftermath of the 1st intifada that because israeli leadership came to that was an satisfy it was untenable but it was simply to continue the occupation through different means and that's the real issue i think if we're going to have a meaningful peace process i think the last 25 here is as demonstrated well beyond any reasonable or unreasonable doubt that israel is and capable of major game the kinds of compromises that are necessary for a durable israeli possibly in peace and though the balance there for agreement in the correct of the international community. to take the necessary measures and i think there would have to be heard by palestinian actions to demonstrate that the status quo that was established by ausiello is as untenable as a status quo that we had and the late 1980 s. and early 1990 s.

so i mean it's a very bleak horizon. well yeah but actually over the longer term it can be successfully challenged let me bring in mature ok we are running out of time but i want to ask you this question you've heard most of a barghouti speaking in ramallah you've heard our guest in washington d.c. maureen rabbani do you still believe that this is electioneering chutzpah from and then you know who it's actually the palestinians shouldn't worry about this announcement and once you know the election is over and done with everything will go back to normal for want of a better word. i mean let's just where do you think that's a now is today he had to go to russia 5 days before the election to meet with president putin is there something that is so pressing right now that it's urgent to leave the country during an election campaign no he's actually going out there for the photo op so that the russian voters can see that he is as he says in

a different league he was last week with boris johnson in the united kingdom the prime minister there today he's with the russian president. it's just electioneering meaning and he never is held to this these standards of what he said during the election and he'll retracted and the question that has been asked by many people mr nixon yeah you've been prime minister for 10 years why didn't you extend israeli law before that why didn't you extend it anywhere on the west bank through the settlement blocks of arielle of the should see own of doomy why haven't you done that why did you wait for the last election to declare that you were going to do it but in a whole decade you haven't done it and the reason he hasn't done it is because he doesn't necessarily have intention to do it he realizes that to take a unilateral step like that is something that has to you know have a real reason to do he also knows the trump plan is coming out and this is just electioneering i really don't think we're going to see that anything concrete take

place again it's going to depend on where he comes out in the election but i wouldn't take too much seriousness and even whoever's elected weather center yeah our gods the likelihood is is it's not going to be a hard core right of center government and we may see some real change in the middle east especially now that trump is going to look to be reelected we already out sometimes and i do want to bring about who is he and who responds to you michel brooke is that anything that you've heard from a guest in ramallah that may have helped you change your mind or are you convinced that it's still the same. again unfortunately i have to say i totally disagree with mr barak totally because actually what netanyahu is doing is step by step and next in the west bank step by step separating completely gaza from that is the palestinian territories what he is doing is implementing his but it isn't a list of the plan and it's not his plan only i repeat it's a plan of all movement that is supporting him that's why what he says is very

dangerous and let me say maybe we used to talk about status quo before but there is no stick to school anymore actually there is a change that takes place every day with every building of a new settlement with the segregated the road to the did not exist even during the apartheid system in south africa what we've seen during the last 15 years especially under netanyahu is the full and total consolidation of apartheid a system of racial discrimination against palestinian palestinians a system that every israeli should be ashamed of a system that has to be fought back at and the system that has to be changed there can be no peace no prosperity and nor good future for both israelis and palestinians without in the end of this system of apartheid without allowing palestinians to have total equality and total freedom i'm afraid we are out of time i just want to thank all our guests but your brock must about booty and knowing

in bringing the stories like top of the. letters. were at the mercy of the russian camp for palestinian record al-jazeera fluent in world news. poll. nobody has yet said how much it's going to cost. joe biden goes on the offensive in the 3rd u.s. democratic debate that laid bare the divisions between the party's moderate and progressive wing. i'm about this and this is all it is even live from doha also coming up the u.s.

justice department is set to reveal the name of a saudi official who allegedly helped the 911 attackers. hundreds of south africans protest as the level of sexual violence in the country reaches crisis point. dogs the vigilantes filling a power vacuum and rural areas where security forces are hard to find. democratic front runner joe biden has strongly defended his record at the latest u.s. presidential debate as he called prominent rival but he sounded as a socialist and was the 1st time biden sondos and elizabeth warren shared a debate stage in the campaign the following health care gun laws and immigration one major themes that the debate focused on a.b.c. news well brunell's reports from houston texas. there were sharp exchanges as the

candidates debated health care criminal justice race relations and war former vice president joe biden came out strongly attacking his rivals plans for government run universal health care nobody has yet said how much it's going to cost biden clashed with senator bernie sanders you 1st so sure if you've got a lot more confidence in corporate america then i do let us be clear. in the united states of america we are spending twice as much per capita on health care it's the canadians or any other major country on earth. former cabinet secretary who leon castro produced gas from the audience when he seemed to question the 76 year old biden's memory by hand and holler fire you know you forgetting what you said to magically paid for. already what you said just 2 minutes ago amid the bickering senator cory booker appealed for unity we've got one shot to make donald trump

a one term president and we cannot lose it by the way we talk about each other or demonize and degrade each other we can walk and chew gum at the same time the candidates were united in denouncing president trump for inflaming racial tensions that we have a white supremacist in the white house and he poses a mortal threat to people of color all across this country climate change was another area of general agreement with candidates promising to rejoin the paris climate agreement is the axis dental crisis of our time it's you know that movie the day after tomorrow it's today we have seen a warming and our world like never before we're seeing flooding in the midwest flooding in houston fires in the west the candidates also discussed a slew of gun control measures former congressman beto or roark whose home town of el paso is still grieving following

a mass shooting last month was cheered loudly out of ban assault rifles hell yes we're going to take your a r 15 you're a k 47. senator kummel harris said trump for some responsibility for the el paso shooting him on the trigger but he's certainly been tweeting up the ammunition. foreign policy got very little attention in the debate sanders had a smack down on trump's china trade war trump thinks trade policy is a tweet. 3 o'clock in the morning. there did not seem to be any standout winners or losers senator cory booker may have revived his flagging campaign with an eloquent performance biden seemed more energetic than he had in past debates although he did seem to ramble at times sanders repeated well worn themes of democratic socialism

while warren seemed to disappear from sight for long stretches of time during the debate the next democratic debate will be held on the 15th of october in ohio robert oulds al-jazeera houston and justin says mitchell is an assistant professor at northwestern university in qatar and she thinks many of the democratic candidates policies would also be attractive to trump votes hos. there are so many ways that the candidates are trying to make inroads of course right now they're speaking to a primarily democratic base audience right but then they do have to pivot to this general election and it was unfortunate that a b. c. which is the channel that hosted the debates they didn't they didn't have a direct question on economic inequality and that's a problem because we really have a systematic stagnated economic inequality in america for the last 40 years and this is where a lot of kind of the problems associated with trump space come into play we do hear

populist messages from elizabeth warren from bernie sanders but we hear messages that could resonate with trump space from other people as well better o'rorke being so strong and powerful in this debate arguably with one of the best lines when he said hell yeah we're going to take away or a k 47 the fact is that the vast majority of americans believe that we need to have better gun reform better policies related to guns so maybe he was appealing to that when people said we need to respect our teachers to the same extent that we respect our soldiers ok that's something that can appeal to a lot of people even within trump space who are middle class who are those public school teachers that everybody's talking about that are supporting the u.s. government is set to reveal new details about saudi arabia's alleged involvement in the 911 attacks victims' families have been lobbying for years to get more information about who coordinated the hijacking of the planes now the f.b.i. will release the name of one saudi official it says is the most wanted list on the

reports from washington. just a day after the 18th anniversary of the 911 attacks new information on the possible involvement of the saudi government the u.s. department of justice use the name of the saudi government official allegedly involved with the system the 1st group of 6 hijackers. in the u.s. to plan the attack that killed more than 2900 people the name of the official investigated by the f.b.i. has been kept under seal for several years when lawyers representing the victims' families by old lawsuits to hold saudi arabian officials they say were involved accountable lawyers representing saudi arabia have for years tried to block the name from being released it raises a whole host of questions about the nature of the saudi support for example

who gave instructions to the saudi official in riyadh to give this kind of support to the hijackers the saudi hijackers who are here in california it opens a whole host of questions about the nature of official saudi involvement in the $911.00 attacks lawyers for victims of the $911.00 attacks say they are pleased with the justice department's decision but say they look forward to more revelations coming out in the coming days and weeks this all comes at a critical time in relations between riyadh and washington october 2nd marks the one year anniversary of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi at the saudi consulate in istanbul a killing the cia said was likely ordered by crown prince mohammed bin. but u.s. president donald trump still considers saudi arabia a key u.s. ally because in part the kingdom buys billions of dollars in arms purchases from the u.s.

some of those arms used in the saudi led war in yemen now in its 5th year it has killed tens of thousands of people but for the victims of the worst attack on u.s. soil getting to know the name of the saudi official allegedly involved will aid their efforts to finally get justice for those who died on 911 gabriel's on al-jazeera washington. hundreds have been protesting against gender based violence in south africa's biggest city johannesburg the south african police estimate that a woman is raped every 36 seconds the demonstrators accuse the government of not properly dealing with the issue president several ramaphosa has admitted south africa is facing a crisis of violence against women crime figures from the last financial year show a 4.6 percent increase in sexual assault including rape with over $50000.00 cases reported the world health organization put south africa among the 4 worst countries for female murders the rate is 12 for every 100000 women that's 5 times

listed on the johannesburg stock exchange to contribute at least 2 percent of their profits to a fund that will deal with tackling gender based violence they say they need businesses to make a decisive stand because they've done too little and that too many women in this country those who work at night those who also are underpaid they're dealing with a range of. issues that women in this country have to deal with and they say corporate south africa has a responsibility there also using this demonstration in the economic hub of south africa to get the attention of government to they say hasn't done enough a council will be set up to deal with gender based violence it is due to be inaugurated perhaps next month but people here say they want the council to be external from government so that they ensure that more is done and that policies are better implemented thank you very much straight ahead an altered 0 we're going
