rotten oh your. word after years of misleading narratives the official investigation continues to drag on. the linking complexity of this specific case has become emblematic of mexico's problem with impunity and done that in this is a country with 40000 missing persons what makes this case especially relevant is that high level farthings are under investigation along with members of federal and local police the military and for millions and governess. mexican president and the lopez of another us has vowed to parents of the students his government will get to the bottom of the case even if it requires starting a new investigation. but for the parents of the i.o.c. napa $43.00 could mean an even longer wait for answers. zita mexico city. former french leader jacques chirac has died his lengthy career at the pinnacle of

french public life included 2 terms as president and prime minister during that period he became a champion of the european single currency and a vocal opponent of the u.s. led war in iraq he also served 18 years as america paris for this period by allegations of corruption and to reports. people gathered outside former president jacques chirac's home in central paris to remember one of france's most famous politicians whose career spanned 5 decades in a t.v. address to the nation president emmanuel macro pay tribute to the conservative leader no posse the people of france have lost a great statesman that we love as much as he loved us. became a familiar face after being in politics for more than 40 years and whether we share his views or not this is all recognize this man who resembled us and assembled us there of paris prime minister twice and president for 12 years he held nearly all

the top jobs sure i was born in paris in 1932 his political prowess was clearly evident he spent the 1950 s. working in the civil service before becoming a protege of prime minister 2 after that his climb was steep and fast within 12 years he was prime minister his march to the lease a palace began after he left the camp and it's becoming men of paris in 1987 when he set his eyes on the presidency it would be almost 20 years before he would gain his seat in the only say he was elected promising tax cuts and more jobs but within months there was a general strike bringing millions into the streets the in foreign policy chirac was a supporter of multi-lateralism but he didn't shy away from taking a stand on a trip to jerusalem in 1906 he forced his frustration with the israeli security officers assigned to accompany him what i want to go back to my own way and i go

back around to that what obama said later let them go and they're going to go that route no no dad or no problem i don't want this. vision. of that is medication. no. one journalist traveling this year ak at the time. remembers it 50. and that made him an immediate an overnight hero in the arab world in the next days we traveled to. cairo damascus and beirut everywhere people had seen that on television and were. absolutely amazed that the western leader could speak that way to israeli forces which no one had done before in 2003 the us president george bush failed to persuade chirac to join the invasion of iraq winning the french leader praise from some quarters memories of his leadership will be sullied by the corruption during his 18 years as

paris may 20 levon he was convicted of embarrassment jacques chirac though was a consummate french politician a survivor but his legacy is uncertain and damaged by his personal failures natasha butler al-jazeera paris now zimbabwe's long time real robert mugabe will be buried in his home district as a vendor and stead of at the national strike shy and as previously planned has been a period between the government and who got his family over his resting place gabi wrong way for 37 years until he was ousted by the military in 2017 he died in a singapore hospital alley of the slums. almost all.

now it's time for sports his fire. welcome to the khalifa international stadium here in doha where we're getting ready for 10 days of top quality competition with 2000 athletes gathering for the world championships but one individual will be notable by his absence for the 1st time since 2003 the event won't involve the arguably its greatest ever star andy richardson reports on how track and field is facing up to life after you saying

bolt. the stage where the hopes and ambitions of the world's best athletes will soon be played out. and for the 1st time in more than a decade the sport's biggest star won't be the center of attention. this will be a world championships without you sign bolts on the start line an individual whose appeal went far beyond the running track. time then for a new generation to step up well was he's a he's the go you know but the sport has to continue on it's like when michael jordan was done with basketball. they had to move on to other players you know i mean and that's what we have to do in this or now you've got abroad saying you guys different heard you have other athletes and you have competition that's you highlight that's the best of all that i think try to do the same thing and it's just a matter of creating the narrative bolts brilliance as a sprinter and as equally sparkling performances in front of the camera in short

events like base. and outlet it's more generally captured a global audience what this sport now desperately requires is a new breakout star both on and off the track. in south africa's cast a semenya look to have the performance and profile levels to rival bolt's but she's been banned from competition due to new rules which attempt to restrict to star in female run as russia suspension due to state sponsored doping has brought off let its more unwelcome headlines it's been a tough 4 years as there's no point in being naive about that we have to grow the sport we know that we have to reach out beyond the beltway of of athletics fans. we need to form partnerships at pretty much every level will be hoping bolt sic sample can help clear the path to a better future for the dr to be like him to me. not just to inspire on his

level it's not on the show you need to make it so it's not so that anyone that not only can you see more. that we can do see when we can perceive an. achievement. the world will know soon enough if lightning really can strike a 6 twice on the richardson al jazeera. now the conditions here will be testing the temperatures around 40 degrees while humidity is over 50 percent but it might not be bad news for all athletes americans defending world and olympic chapel john champion christian taylor spoke to al jazeera as a whole pack there's been a lot of talk about the hair and how maybe the some of the long distance runners are going to struggle in these kind of conditions but for someone in your event is the heat actually quite good for you in terms of competing in training yeah absolutely he does actually advantage from the southeast you know georgia florida so i'm used to the humidity i'm used to be. i'm surprised when i heard that there

would be air condition in the stadium you know i thought we would use that to our advantage this was actually the 1st place jump 80 meters because i was in my element you know it was easier to move easy to despond that flow so i'm really interested see how it will be a qualifications kind of get a feel for going through the call rooms and seeing how much they are pumping that they see it would be nice for the spectators nice for the distance runners but hope it's not too cool for us all joins me now and rahul who are some of the athletes to watch here well medic's far has been really struggling to step out of the shadow of you saw him but he was such a huge carrot to buy on the track with his performances i don't think with his personality but there are a few people coming through in the sport that people are getting quite excited about that are competing here. because one of those guys is no allows he's a 22 year old. can sprint he's going in the men's 200 meters now earlier this year back in july he ran the 45 to 200 meters in history only 3 men to run quick a boat like marco drugs the people are getting very excited about him and he seems to be best like to take our eyes of that mantle of the next you sign bulger he's

opted out of the 100 meters but even without liles the 100 meters men's 100 meters is turning out to be a real blockbuster event as a young nigerian sprint call divine will to do and he's in good shape to maybe become the 1st african to win gold in the men's 100 meters his major rivals will be from america as a christian coleman the quickest man in the world this year and the defending world champion justin gatlin but on the women's side idea ashley smith from the u.k. she's the european champion in the $1200.00 metres and many people think she will be the queen of world sprinting in the years to come and she's got a 3 gold medals a window and will tell us how important is it for athletics to put on a good show here are the important for the last 2 years we've had constant stories about scandal about doping about corruption chairmanships they're starting on friday we've got the olympics next summer in tokyo so i said it's got a real chance for itself to put forth a much more positive message

a much more positive narrative people talking about performances on the track rather than things off it really needs one of the ones that i mentioned the full one of the other athletes to form and to get to get people excited about performances aside on the track and not people talking about corruption or started paying or things like that sort of that it has a chance to really put forth a much more positive message and i think the head of the our double asked about it colby desperate desperately hoping that that happens this week. the other news now in england have made it 2 wins out of 2 with the rugby world cup in japan they scored 7 try to the bonus point victory against the usa and helping joe cocker his finger with 2 of those scores in a 45 points to 7 when the natural so saw the 1st red card in the tournament for american player john quayle. and thursday's other game italy thrashed canada by 48 points to 7 to move top of pool b. they tally and ran in 7 tries altogether to claim their 2nd straight bonus point victory but they're still likely to finish 3rd behind defending champions new

zealand and 2nd favorites south africa and that's a sport for now we'll have more from our studio here at the khalifa stadium again later. and that's it for me in a star of the usa for this news out of that i'll be back in the chair in just a couple of minutes with more news stay with us.

tibetan culture of dance thrives here every day generations of tibetans continue to embrace and maintain their cultural heritage it's a reminder of who they are and whether probably this is a suburb of the indian capital new delhi tibet so the refugees here since 964 buttons here have been defined as migraines are not refugees because india hasn't signed up to the 1951 un convention on refugees so tibetans here have been able to access the indian welfare system so they become self-sufficient setting up their own businesses and looking for work independently but for some it's not enough. growing martian unforgiving circumstances children learn to play dangerous games

they say if they destroy the house and take me by frustration and broken promises young men living under the constant threat of imprisonment we took me to the cheap and blindfolded me the time for them to regain control of their lives is when the boys returned. at this time 0. an alleged cover up and walled bombshells and donald trump's whistle blower complaints over his call to ukraine's leader asking him to dig up deaths on joe biden. hello i missed the attainments as al jazeera live from doha also coming up the u.s.

is deploying a patriot missile system to saudi arabia after it accused iran of attacking the world's largest oil refinery. after the iranian president's call washington to give up its policy of maximum pressure against terror. and one of france's most famous politicians former president jacques chirac has died at the age of $86.00. explosive allegations against donald trump have been revealed in a whistleblower his complaint which has now been made public details how the u.s. president tried to persuade his ukrainian counterpart to investigate his rival joe biden the whistleblower says white house officials then tried to lock down politically sensitive information about trump's phone call without any of the lenski how correspondent john hendren reports from washington d.c. . democrats have a new word for the white house response to

a whistleblower this is a cover up the accusation follows a newly released whistleblowers report that says the white house trying to lock down the transcript of a phone call in that july call president donald trump pressed ukraine's president to find dirt on a rival presidential candidate in this case former u.s. vice president joe biden reads like a classic organized crime shakedown the report says u.s. officials told the unnamed whistleblower that they were directed by white house lawyers to transfer the transcript of a conversation to a separate electronic system that is otherwise used to store and handle classified information even though the call did not contain anything remotely sensitive that left trump's new acting director of national intelligence explaining on capitol hill why he withheld that mid august report from congress until thursday we consulted with the white house counsel's office and we were advised that much of the information the complaint was in fact subject to executive privilege

a privilege that i do not have the authority to waive so a white house transcript of that call shows that trump repeatedly urged ukraine's volodymyr zelinsky to investigate whether joe biden sought to interfere in a conflict of interest probe of the ukrainian gas company for which his son hunter biden worked at the time trump was with holding nearly $400000000.00 in aid without explanation under fire trump denies using any pressure what these guys are doing democrats are doing to this country is it grace but they're going to tie up our country because frankly this so tied up this so it's good up as the director of national intelligence testified here on capitol hill president was at the united nations talking to staff he told them he wanted to know who told the whistleblower about his phone call adding that they were close to a spy and then he said something that sounded menacing you know.

this is. according to the whistleblower several senior u.s. officials were concerned by the president's call now exhibit number one in hearings to decide whether to impeach donald trump john hendren al-jazeera washington while elizabeth is an associate professor of american studies and political science at george washington university and she contrast in the impeachment proceedings against trump but there is against clinton and the late 1990 s. the entire circumstances surrounding impeachment are quite different back then it was about not only clinton's behavior with a private individual you know one of his in turns but also lying about it. you know committing perjury and that was the justification for impeachment here we have a much different set of concerns it's not only about impeachment i mean about you know possible perjury but it's more about. lying under you know

not necessarily lying under oath i guess in the way that it was for clinton but it's about a larger behavior some of his problems some of his ways of abusing power that sometimes it's hard to pin down as to whether or not he's crossed the legal line where he can be actively prosecuted but for the claim of impeachment which is high crimes and misdemeanors that can include an abuse of power that might not be explicitly criminal and right now we see republicans and democrats trying to draw different lines in a way that seems really different than clinton situation. now saudi arabia's foreign minister has urged the international community to band together to combat iran era him been other stuff is just delivered his speech at the u.n. general assembly relations between riyadh and tehran nosedived earlier this month after an attack on saudi oil facilities saudi arabia and the usa iran was responsible even though terror and denies this. today we be

a historic responsibility the credibility of this organization and the entire willed is at stake the iranian regime is leave with one of 2 options either become a normal state that respects international laws and norms or face an internationally unified position that uses all instruments of pressure and deterrence. roslan jordan joins us now from the united nations say was the saudi foreign minister calling for unity from the international community for maximum and sustained pressure on terror no surprises there i guess. no surprises there and it certainly is language that you could have to hear from a u.s. official or from an official from israel there is the at least among these 3 countries a unified view that iran is a destabilizing force in the middle east it is a direct national security threat to its neighbors and that it is willing to engage

in behavior that could threaten people in countries far beyond the middle east but when it comes to calling for a unified response it's worth pointing out that this attack on the. oil processing plants in oil fields in eastern saudi arabia happened back on september 14th almost 2 weeks ago and yet the saudi government has not gone to the u.n. security council to ask for an emergency meeting to elise discuss the attack and discuss it what ways the international community might want to respond certainly the u.s. has been carrying out unilateral sanctions on the iranian government since it pulled out of the nuclear agreement in 2017 but this does not mean that there are other countries that are party to that agreement that want to see that kind of economic pressure put on terror on in order to keep it in compliance with the

nuclear agreement as well as to change. it's behavior on the international stage but for the saudis they consider this a direct act an act of war and they really were trying to make the case here at the u.n. general assembly that the international community should not take a run at its word that it should look at iranian actions not just on september 14th but in prior years and look at how it's been supporting other groups that themselves have been considered a violent threat to his country's integrity and security all runs i know says the iranian representative sitting in the general assembly that looked around the stony faced on surprisingly what other reaction do we expect from other nations going forward. well i think that it wouldn't be surprising if you heard on friday that the reaction from israel or from the united states would be one of support certainly when we heard earlier on thursday from the israeli foreign

minister there was a similar criticism of iran's behavior its support for hamas its support for hezbollah its support for huet the fighters in yemen and that has been of course a long running criticism from the trumpet ministration here in the united states but as for other countries that are going to be looking at this yes it is important that britain and france and germany agreed earlier this week that iran had to have been behind the attack on that oil processing facilities but that does not mean that there is any appetite in any of those countries to perhaps look towards some sort of military response that of course is something which donald trump the u.s. president has suggested in the days since that attack but again nothing has really come out of it in terms of trying to actually get world leaders together to actually discuss this and you know everyone being at the united nations this week

there was you know some expectation that perhaps they could have worked out some sort of discussion at least to lay it out on the table and not just have people making speeches and issuing a communique isn't that sort of thing so really what happens now it looks as if its status quo the u.s. and israel on one side are standing behind saudi arabia on what they consider to be a real threat from iran but european countries for their part are going to be urging caution i would be very surprised to see something change that quickly. across developments for us at the u.n. thank you arounds. well also at the u.n. iran's president says his country will of course engage to engage in talks with the united states but only if sanctions are lifted has a rouhani made the comments on the sidelines of the u.n. general assembly in new york but he reiterates that the trump administration's current tactics are not twerking our diplomatic editor james bay is has more from

the u.n. they spoke at the same podium in the u.n. general assembly hall they were in the same city for 4 days but all the high hopes of a breakthrough following a flurry of diplomatic activity led by the french president emmanuel merkel came to nothing no progress and no meeting between president trump and president rouhani the dangerous deadlock continues his trump perhaps was preoccupied by the impeachment allegations against him that were being formed while he was in new york developments the iranians were clearly following closely mr president while you've been here in the u.s. how closely are you following political developments here and is iran's best hope now president trump either being impeached or being defeated in next year's election. with regard to what's happening here in america we hear the news

of what's happening but it doesn't matter for us because it's an internal matter for america what's very important for us is that the american government restores the damage trust back to the world. for now the u.s. is focusing on the drone attack in saudi arabia and it clearly wants to use its assertion that iran was behind that to add to its maximum pressure campaign on terror on what i expect to see happen is when saudi arabia concludes its investigation and is done with the site exploitation where the attacks took place and cake that they will then refer this matter to the u.n. security council for appropriate action i think that's the right thing to do because this was an attack on the world and it requires a response from the world u.n. officials agree that this is coming back here to the security council the u.n. have had 2 separate experts in saudi arabia and they're mandated to formally report their findings.
