i have to remove $39.00 bodies from it and deal with them in a probe in an appropriate and humane way what unimaginable horror did the $39.00 victims and refrigerated lorries are designed to be at tight that those 39 people suffocate in a claustrophobic and terrifyingly inevitable death or did they freeze to death in temperatures below minus 20 degrees celsius. there are echoes of the 2015 tragedy in austria when 71 people suffocated to death in the back of an airtight lorry which the people smugglers had simply abandoned in the august heat. the 25 year old driver of this lorry has been arrested and is being questioned as a potential murder suspect the truck itself has now been moved to a secure location the tilbury docks so the bodies can be removed forensically but this investigation is only just beginning and somehow somewhere the families of $39.00 people are going to have to be traced and told of their loved ones fate paul

weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories during the listening as we turn the cameras on the media when the intelligence services control much of egyptian media it becomes an extension of the arm of the president to focus on how they report on the stories that matter the most getting an accurate informative story out of there is not easy they pose it too late we already had the information they're listening pounced on al-jazeera. hello again i'm the star and a reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s.

president says he's lifting sanctions on taki following a truce deal and syria donald trump says the turkish military offensive has ended thanks to washington's intervention. libya's opposition leader says he has evidence of electoral fraud in sunday's presidential vote. calling for mass protests to continue unless a runoff is held president evo morales has denounced the opposition demonstrations as a coup. and a matter investigation is underway in the united kingdom after the bodies of 39 people were found in a container truck in a town east of london police say the vehicle came to england from belgium. now amateur footage appears to show troops and using excessive force against peaceful protesters it's prompted international groups to call on the government to respect the rights of demonstrators who are calling for political change but no manual or apollo reports from santiago. it's the worst crisis the country has seen in more

than 3 decades. a violent crackdown by police and military against thousands of demonstrators has left several dead thousands of others have been arrested. through britain has been horrible they beat a bully to date with clubs and did need to hear lays as always the return seated on top well we always get stepped on. demonstrators blame the government for a long list of social problems from economic inequality to growing lack of access to public health. there is no medicine there is no supplies to treat wounds we don't have enough stuff there is a. massive deficit. according to medical professionals dozens of protesters have suffered wounds from firearms and have sustained injuries to the face and torso from projectiles like tear gas canisters and rubber pellets the united nations along with international human rights groups are calling for security forces who

have been documented using excessive violence against peaceful protesters to be held accountable. there have been specific cases not only violating the right to peaceful assembly but also the right to life and bodily integrity there's also been cases of sexual assault things that cannot be tolerated. on wednesday sub secretary of the interior said he expects that any alleged human rights violations will be thoroughly investigated the end. we are live in state of emergency and i believe. but this doesn't not just a fight human rights abuses. well the majority of protests in the country have remained peaceful there's also been widespread vandalism and hundreds of businesses have been looted the military in force curfew has been announced for a 5th night in a row and has been extended to other cities the concern now as more people continue to join in the demonstrations and violate that curfew is that the violence that

we've seen over the past few days will only worsen. between protests that continue to intensify and a government who seems unable to regain the trust of the public a peaceful solution to the unrest appears to remain out of reach. something. the lebanese protesters are still rallying across the country despite the rain and the heavy military presence may just streets remain blocked in the capital beirut and other cities there demanding the removal of the political system they say is corrupt and beyond repair prime minister aside hariri has presented reforms in an attempt to appease protesters and the demonstrations have continued for. their kid nicknames. omarion welcome to new england we remain we say to the protesters continue across the country and continue confronting this region wherever you can start. well since protests began last week the northern city of tripoli has seen a huge fan out every night traditionally a support base for the prime minister now the people of the city and across the

country are united against their leaders stephanie deca is there. for a week now thousands of come out into the square in tripoli to join the chorus of voices across the country calling for their government to go. is all eyes were on beirut a few nights ago this video shows you don't mind when viral don'ts music played with jubilant crowds many 1st thought this was the route when it was actually here in tripoli the city many see is far more conservative. i didn't plan for this i didn't plan for this i was like all the people i was going to. all the people. we met up with the man behind the music he says he played it spontaneously didn't expect this kind of reaction all the people all of the all love each other. your children are breathing everything and everyone everyone is here because there is no one on top of them the protests have mobilized the youth here

a leaderless grassroots movement that has inspired many. it was like a domino effect among the youth center for sally says the protests have given her renewed hope i also grew whether she thinks there are challenges ahead it's going to be difficult we are scared. and we are aware that. we are going to a bit of a chaotic period after this but. when you are aware. you're ready and when you're ready if this is the 1st step of succeeding. when you're scared you either go through things or you either withdraw or this gives your perseverance to continue especially when you've got strong out of many disappointments tripoli's traditionally your support base for the prime minister saad how d.d. but the sunni majority city has been neglected and has some of the poorest areas in

the country and the most he didn't exist then would be said that we are defending the rights of children in the rights of all citizens to live in a clean environment we're asking all those in power to resign and be held accountable financially all of them we will stay here until our demands meet the protesters come from a cross-section of society that is what everyone is telling us is so important in a city that's been stigmatized due to a policy spillover of the syrian war when gun battles were fought out in the streets the people have come together against the ruling elites. they also want to change the sectarian system which they accuse politicians of exploiting in order to keep people divided but there seems to be a stalemate now the government isn't standing down the people aren't leaving there are unpredictable times ahead stephanie decker of tripoli. now the south korean prime minister and his japanese counterpart have just met and took care at

a time of heightened tension south korean news agency yonhap reports that lina. have agreed that fraying bilateral ties need to be amended the meeting between the pair represents the highest level talks since tokyo imposed export cabs on seoul this year and that was in retaliation for a south korean demands for compensation from japan for wartime forced labor. well the 1st black leader of south africa's largest opposition party has resigned mostly my money said that been internal conflicts in a democratic alliance as he made the announcement he added that he'd struggle to attract black voters to the historically white liberal party he's the 2nd senior but black politician to quit in a week have been received about left on monday the way that the da handles race relations over the past few months it's become more and more to me that the bones exist if you were going with the group the eye to eye with. i don't see the vision

for the party in the direction it was 3. maybe several months of consistent and accord made to attack. on me and my leadership to ensure that this project. mozambique's opposition once the results of recent elections to be an old and says the vote was rigged after the governing friendly my party won in every province including areas where the opposition usually dominates malcolm webb has more from the praetor supporters of mozambique's governing for leaving the party celebrate results of last week's election to the opposition says was blatantly rigged. here is results from a puto province for limo's been announced the winner in all of them even opposition strongholds just. a few hours drive away in neighboring province a candidate for the opposition m.d.m. party showed us results forms from polling stations filled in pencil and with vote

counts for for left blank he says so that numbers could then be changed or made up counting centers. and he said please stop for m.d.m. agents from observing the news. but of course you know. that the police arrested them and took them to jail i think the police neutralized them because they were afraid they would witness fraud. just down the road at the provincial office of renamo the largest opposition party one of its agents told us she saw polling officials trying to stuff ballots according to the results announced so far president philippe new see will stay in power for a 2nd 5 years and his party for lemo will take all of the provincial governorships and most of the seats in parliament it was widely expected to be a close run race but observers and many mozambicans find the results on believable . the electoral commission says it won't comment until the final results are

announced for denies vote rigging it's not correct because you know what for the 1st time we have in this election i love of service. before it was a political party or nominee it was a rebel group. in a 15 year civil war more than a 1000000 people were killed. after the truce in 1902 mozambique has remained on stable every election since has been disputed i wouldn't look at mozambique selection as aiming at being free and fair because the word from the beginning to form a belligerent they do not accept of the democracy game they do not but knowledge the people's right to. choose and to mine the future or destiny of the country for the mo want wanted a single party communist state with normal fought for multi-party democracy 44

criminals she had her tansey experience mark zuckerberg came to capitol hill with one fundamental message i know with the subject of multiple investigations and lawsuits but trust me i get that i'm not the ideal messenger for this right now. we faced a lot of issues over the past few years and i'm sure there are a lot of people who wish it were anyone but facebook who are helping to propose this that idea is the creation of a global privately run currency libra zuckerberg says it will help a 1000000000 people around the world without a bank account the poor with libra they'll be able to send money to others as easy as sending a text message and i feel blessed to be in a position where we can make a difference in people's lives but he also issued a warning if we don't do it china will members of congress were skeptical there for the richest man in the world to come here and hide behind the poorest people in the world and say that's who you're really trying to help members of congress point to

facebook's long history of abusing its access to the data it already possesses from its social media platforms if the company also potentially controlled the financial transactions of its $2700000000.00 customers that too would be exploited they argued talk about insisted the data from its cryptocurrency project wouldn't be merged with the data it already uses for profit concerns have been raised about the implications of an international currency and a global financial system that's already unstable even with mashable currencies and regulation libor i would be decentralized and surely open to potentially devastating currency speculation and it's used by criminals and terrorists some argue so i was also asked about facebook in general all the allegations of misconduct that are being investigated by multiple authorities around the us from an advertising platform that's allowed companies to discriminate against minorities to turning a blind eye to election interference it was clear that this was a hard sell in fact the committee chairwoman said that just by suggesting facebook

move into finance it was yet another argument that the company was too big it's my 2700000000 people use your products that's over a 3rd of the world's population that's huge. that's so big that it's clear to me and to anyone who hears this list that perhaps you believe that you are above the law you have opened up a serious discussion about whether they spoke should be broken up is not about insisted that libra would not be launched on us financial regulators were satisfied it would not be a source of instability but his message that his only concern is a level financial playing field was met with skepticism here she ever terms the old desire washington. this is out there on these the top stories the u.s. president says he's lifting sanctions on tacky following interest stand in syria

donald trump says the takesh military offensive has ended thanks to washington's intervention in turkey syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries we have done them a great service and we've done a great job for all of them and now we're getting out a long time we were supposed to be there for 30 days that was almost 10 years ago so we're there for 30 days and now we're leaving let someone else fight over this long blood stayed sand carlos messages calling the fat mass protests to continue unless and runoff is held by his opposition leader says he has evidence of electoral fraud in sunday's presidential vote morales has denounced the opposition demonstrations as a critter. anti-government protests in chile have become some of the biggest and

mostly white men all around some of them are grimacing and she's pointing at the president if you see the leader of the democrats disrespecting the president united states you are probably anti impeachment but if you see an act of brave to finance a lone woman holding the president accountable then you're probably pro impeachment that's how divided the united states has become so is impeachment going to be a spark for an irreconcilable divorce between the people who live inside america or will it be a process that allows us to quote get over it to coin a trump team fortunately we have 3 people in the room that have all 'd the answers greg craig the former lead defense attorney for president bill clinton during his impeachment in 1988 and former white house counsel under president obama john fredericks chairman of the trump for president campaign for the state of virginia in 2016 and adviser to trump 2020 and a host of the john fredericks radio show which i have been

a guest on and margaret carlson columnist for the daily beast and the 1st female columnist for time magazine thank you all very much for joining us today and we're going to try and get to you know as much of this impeachment story on the table as we can margaret let me just ask you for a moment to kind of tell me what the dashboard looks like as a person who has not really kind of gotten into the story an impeachment what are the priority concerns how is this shaping out from your perspective so may i just go back to your intro for a moment point to you as nancy pelosi did and say that in any encounter between the speaker and the president the speaker always comes out ahead because she knows. how to deal with an unruly child. and on impeachment. the president has lately decided to call it a lynching. which is a fighting word if i've ever heard one but his his colleagues on the hill have not embraced that word because they're trying to find some way in which they protect their own office and don't jeopardize it but aren't totally in trump's camp because

trump has done some things that actually do look impeachable and which at this very moment are being investigated by democrats on the border those impeachable things that the president has done better that are concerning republicans well certainly when it's washes over into something to do with foreign policy you even have golf buddies like senator lindsey graham coming out against donald trump on syria less so on ukraine but nonetheless troubled by it because they know that trump willingly put out the goods on ukraine by releasing the transcript which is part of the trump part of the trump mode now. greg remembers when it was it was not the crime it was the coverup that was always the problem now there's no

cover up term just admit everything and then discusses the lynching he doesn't dispute the facts and actually it upsets the ordinary course of business because actually reporters don't quite know what to do when they're not hunting down the watergate tapes or going to you know the underground garage to talk to deep throat you're left just with the impeachment and it's much easier to say that it's it's it's a renegade operation and you're going after the president i have is a witch then it is to actually go over the facts of the case because the facts are so damning greg i think people looking at the impeachment question i think part of it is a question of whether there have been illegal illegalities whether there have been high crimes and misdemeanors committed so there's a to margaret's point there has been you know a legal question but margaret also just mentioned lindsey graham in syria and you

know the question of abandoning the kurds commander in chief has the right to designate where forces are and aren't and i would argue that that's not an impeachable offense that then throws into the question of political issues lindsey graham may be may be softening on the president because of policy differences as opposed to improprieties how i mean i know you have a sharp legal mind right now you have brought this otoh are we debating is it a political issue or is this a function of legalities let me talk about the process a little bit based on my experience during the clinton impeachment there was a there was a really scary moment for the defense lawyers who are and senator robert byrd was interviewed by cokie roberts just before the vote on the impeachment and he said as far as i'm concerned everything they have accused president clinton of doing he did . but i'm going to vote against his removal from office because it would be bad for the country and so at the end of the day the impeachment is

a political process so the president should be worried about maintaining the confidence and the support of the republicans in the senate as much as he worries about whether or not he's committing impeachable offenses now one of the reasons i think we know the impeachment process is underway and it's going on now is because it's really sucking the air out of everything else you see it in the newspapers now there's a daily impeachment briefing you see it driving the campaign into the back pages the newspapers you see all the talk shows breaking news impeachment you see it in the house of representatives who are at least 6 committees in the house of representatives are focused on something to do with the impeachment that certainly happened in 1908 where everything sort of stopped until the impeachment. and watched the impeachment process continue and i think that's beginning to happen in the impeachment process with bill clinton with his 2nd term and as i recall and

i could be wrong on this his popularity ratings were sky high when he left office and my incorrect know you're correct so he karate as he went through the impeachment so i mean i think he got up during the impeachment so john is the impeachment process that has begun as well as as our colleagues here have said is this going to ultimately be good for president from and his political fortunes it could be if they get the right messaging and they get some adults in the room right now this is a tale of 2 cities and margaret is right on some of these issues because look the president didn't do anything wrong as far as illegality there's no impeachable offense there's no quid pro quo there's no mention of joe biden they can't find it but it doesn't matter right now in this stage that is irrelevant because the messaging coming out of this white house is absolutely horrific and if anybody's. stood like me at the press conference that mick mulvaney had my jaw dropped and was hit the ground i couldn't believe it 1st of all even if the how the press

conference you don't have that many more secondly he came out to talk about having the g. 7 that darrelle which was the timing of that was just mind boggling and then he gets caught up in. misstating or stating or what ever the hell he was doing that had to be the most damaging press conference and the messaging coming out of the white house is amateur hour hit the gum that's why you're a supporter generally 5 point of the message yeah yeah yeah yeah i'm receiving this great right right right so i don't even i would even say i hit the delete button steve that's an issue we have john get over it because i didn't see there were an impeachable offenses in fact i think trying to. admitted to impeachable offense and it's not just mick mulvaney by releasing the transcript of the call which he somehow in his addled thinking thought then if they did to him he didn't say the

name biden he did ask for a favor he was keeping the money away from the president of ukraine to fight back against trump's pal lattimer putin all of it is there john there's nothing left to prove your bike ride was never connected there was never a quid pro quo with it but it doesn't matter margaret to your polling how the favorite doesn't matter to you i ask you gerald ford when he was minority leader wanted to impeach one of the supreme court justices and they said to him what is the impeachable offense and he said what ever that held the house of representatives says it is so it doesn't matter whether it's a fence or not the bottom line is present trump is going to get impeached by the house they are going to impeach him palosi has to manage the 26 democrats that got elected in trump's districts that if they vote for this they're going down to 2020 she realizes that it's going to go to the senate and right now what they lack

is a war room of adults corey lewandowsky dave bossie steve bennett people like that that can get the message out to republicans because right now it is completely let me have if course you do know that has doubts he is the adult that you are really not in trouble ok greg craig let me ask you a question and i only have it john if you came out or one of your colleagues during the clinton impeachment process and was looking at one of the underlying you know offenses and said get over it america which is what mcveigh and he basically said about the ukraine and so and there's now i mean this is i mean get over it we have t. shirts get over it we have a film clip i think of him. saying this and i have news for everybody get over it there's going to be political influence in foreign policy i'm talking mr carro that is going to happen elections have consequences and foreign policy is going to

change from the obama administration to the trump administration and what you're seeing now i believe is a group of mostly career politics career bureaucrats who are saying you know what i don't like president trump's politics so i'm going to participate in this witch hunt that they're undertaking on the hill. so greg if somebody had done that in the clinton ministration or maybe any other demi i mean i'm interested in what you think would have occurred because we've got t. shirts now that say it you know with the 0 having a little orange wig on top of it this is probably the only thing i agree with john on today is that i think they have mishandled the messaging they mishandled the strategy. i think they missed handing the press presidency the the reality is that when president clinton was being impeached he was segregated walled off from the from the lawyer from the strategizing from the public argument of the impeachment and he spent all his time being president of states and he was very successful at it he negotiated a budget that was in surplus he had a series of international successes one in the white plantation between the

palestinians in the israelis he traveled abroad he was at his those 6 months he was at his very best as the president of states and spent a very little time talking about the issues associated with the impeachment and all the messaging all the planning all the coordination between the various components of the white house and our friends on the hill were coordinated so the idea of someone just having a good idea and going out and saying get over it that never would have happened john you think this was a mistake i was horrific it was a it was a stupid mistake because it turned trumped from the victim to the to the aggressor as well at that made no sense when i was there he said that i just shook my head and then he came out with flu. shirts and like you say with a wig on the oh and up to that point trump was being positioned as the victim this is a witch this is fake news i didn't do anything it was a perfect call and then it's well yeah get over it get over what the fact that he

didn't do anything resenting to get over so it global the message until get back and the performance by moving.
