series of breaking stories joined by listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how very it was built on the stories. on al-jazeera. this is 0. hello i'm richelle carey this is the news hour live from doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. a prominent opposition politician is freed in cambodia but still faces charges of treason. spain's 4th election in 4 years after a campaign dominated by catalonia secession push push and fears of a far right search. results for president leaves jail to find

a polarized country who was galvanized the left but conservatives are calling for counter protests. and saudi aramco reveals details of its plan to sell shares highlighted risks include terrorism and armed conflict. with the sport rugby world cup champions south africa are on a victory parade through captaincy polices hometown of port elizabeth tomorrow i'm going to later in the program. prominent opposition figure kim soca has been released in cambodia 2 years for after he was charged with treason so is the co-founder of the band cambodia national rescue party which was dissolved ahead of elections last year or minister hun sen's ruling party won most of the seats is free for now the charges against him were made and he is banned from politics and can't leave the country and other key opposition voice sam rainsy. arrived in malaysia on saturday he left cambodia 4

years ago after facing a prison sentence on defamation charges cambodian government says he's welcome back but warrants he has to face several legal cases of 2nd and rains he had been battling long time leader and send it's been in power since 1985 and it's one of the world's longest serving prime minister's rights groups and political opponents say he's repeatedly stifled dissent one has following developments from bangkok this would appear to be a tactical move by the government in cambodia on 2 fronts one is that we know sam rainsy the acting leader of the cambodian national rescue party arrived back in the region on saturday flying into kuala lumpur the malaysian capital still vowing to return from exile to cambodia to lead an uprising against the government this would appear to be a move by the government in cambodia to take the wind out of the sails of sam rainsy and to call into question the relevance of any plans returned by him the

other thing is the european union has been investigating the decline in democracy and human rights in cambodia and is threatening to withdraw or cambodia's tariff free status for its goods that are exported to the european union it delivers its report to the government of cambodia on choose day one of the key demands of the e.u. is that kim should be released from house arrest and the charges against him should be dropped who've seen one of those steps taken by the government he has been released from house arrest but still some severe restrictions remaining on him and the case against camps a car still stands under which ken is the deputy director general of public affairs for the band opposition cambodia international rescue party she's also kim soakers daughter she says she hopes his release is just the 1st step. it's been 2 years he's been detained in prison for the 1st year and it's he's been transferred home

for a year and it has not been a trial date set yet the so-called investigation is still going on his lawyers have also requested the court to close the investigation and then drop the charges and their response today if not actually did the court announcement today is not exactly responding to the lawyers request it basically just lifted some of the restriction that was placed on him under house arrest instead of responding to whether or not they will close the investigation and drop the charges i hope that it is the 1st step one the 1st step of many steps that need to happen in order to restore what has happened in the last 2 years so i hope that the charge against him will be dropped and i hope that his political rise along with the political rise of my colleagues and myself will be reinstated and there would be a negotiation between the 2 parties to reinstate for example the space for.

media rights space for civil society and reinstate a real opposition party back and again i hope that today is only the 1st of many steps the roberson is the director deputy deputy director part me of human rights watch asia he joins us from bangkok so. what does this move mean. well what it is is as mona said a 1st step we believe it's directly connected to the european union's pending report to the government on tuesday about whether they will take away some of the tariff privileges under the everything but arms e.p.a. program you know who is and is facing a very very serious situation he is looking at the potentially damaging. actions by the e.u. against the major industry in the country the garment industry and he has to now step up and show that he's prepared to make some compromises on human rights issues

if he wants to maintain that very important e.u. economic status so now the end obviously that the country is showing he's showing that he is susceptible to pressure from the to pressure from the outside world is this the time to even put up more pressure well i think what we're going to see is increased pressure across the board by who against tunes and i think that you know the see an r.p. obviously is doing what they can sam ransey flying into kuala lumpur holding consultations with the parliament there possibly on monday i think that would sulk on now released he will become increasingly active so that the game is really afoot here i think that has tried to intimidate the opposition party he's arrested over 100. see in r.p. members over the past several months so you know it's quite clear that there's

a major crackdown and now the game may have turned on him a bit so how do you characterize when you talk about things like this arrest you know being exiled from your country what is it that the opposition really is is up against. well and completely controls the police and the army. he has a 125 to 0 margin in the national assembly after 28000 election that was far from free and fair he controls the courts in a very significant way and he can base again sort of judgment he wants from the courts so he's become really a one party dictatorship and they're up against. a very significant challenge in trying to. get him to compromise but i believe actually that because the cambodian people are unhappy with the corruption in the abuses that have been going on that the opposition does have

a chance and the opposition as we saw in 2017 during the commune elections won 44 percent of the vote so if they're allowed to compete they have a very reasonable chance the question is whether one cent will ever give them the space to do so on robertson thank you very much with human rights watch preaching and. polls are underway in spain's general election the prime minister paid for a sanchez says already cast his ballot this is the country's 4th election and 4 years sanchez call for the latest vote after failing to rally enough support to form a coalition government how however opinion polls suggest that it might not break the deadlock elections come amid weeks of violent clashes between catalan separatists and police have to hold up bellamy who is and are so want to so whatever that hold of it that this may not necessarily change anything. it is the feeling among many people we spoke to in the past few days when we asked them what would happen today after the elections will this. be broken many

people said that they had no illusion that that will still be the political sort of paralysis will still be there and it will be very difficult to get the country forward now i think here in catalonia you do also have to be a focus group is how last elections the number one party it was april independence party with 15 seats followed by the socialist party of pedro sanchez but a lot has happened between april and now you had that sentence in the 9. has angered many people in this region so laugh to see really how much to bring to the pendants parties will fare and how difficult they will make the lives of just in case he wins again this election as we said 4th election and for here is what is

the feeling be the atmosphere in the energy there hota. well this must be certain degree of election fatigue do you say for elections for years it's also the 2nd election this year and it's not as i said there's not much hope. things will change very much the day after as the issues of this country and basically the issue being dominated discourse throughout the past 2 years at least since 2017 is still very much there and none of the political leaders really during their campaigning whether it was now or back in april put forward any kind of solution or any kind of new ideas to bring forward this issue to try to get a solution to this issue so you know people are casting their ballots people are making their voices heard but then it goes back into the hands of the politicians

and when you look at the politicians and what they say the divisions of very much there is 1 point one thing we also have to monitor very closely is how well the far right vox party will fare it did pretty well back in april many people on the pollings actually predict that it could do even better disturb and that would mean that the country is even more poorly full of polarized so that it is very little hope that things will change any time soon that any solution will be brought to this crisis that is really paralyzing this country i tell me that the latest from our salon to go to thank you. after being released from prison brazil's former labor leader a little of the silva has been rallying his supporters against the government and our boston r.-o. he is condemning the right wing president's policies and is calling on the left leaning parties to take back the presidency in the next election reports of hometown of sal bernardo the company. was received as

a hero. in the state of. if there is one place where the former labor union leader is loved it is here and. i want to build this country with the same happiness that we built so that when we govern this country my dream isn't to solve my problems today i'm a guy that doesn't have a job a president without a pynchon not even a television in my apartment my life is totally blocks the only thing i'm serious in all of is that i have more courage to fight them before on thursday the supreme court said convicted criminals should exhaust all their options to defend their case before going to prison this benefited new law and many others. but lula has not been absolved and still faces at least 7 other cases against him was. in the last presidential election was already lost last officer or it's because of the car wash corruption investigation involves some of the members i don't know

that you love the feeling was out in spite of its legal troubles and the stage many here believe that he is the man to challenge the judge he was one of those precedences i was. says is the only one that can save brazil sposato is most afraid of. it's over because he is our representative he's our leader and this 2 country will change fluey oh will. do to see a man outside. but in the capital. thousands marched. to protest against their last release they condemn the supreme court's decision and they're calling for a change in the law that would imprison those who lose their case in a 1st appeal was. there is so much impunity in brazil and we want things to change we are denouncing the decision so looking go back to prison

jail also natto ask his followers on twitter not to give ammunition to a man he called the scoundrel he also defended his minister of justice. as a judge led the carwash corruption investigation his impartiality little last case has been questioned and that's why lula is requesting a retrial brazil is polarized between those who love and want him back in the presidency. and those who are angry with the corruption that happened while he was in office was. he is planning his political comeback he's already. the biggest political rival. sober not of the gamble brazil. plenty more ahead in the news hour including more deaths in baghdad as iraqi security forces move to take control of protest sites across the city and a come from behind win that's put this team on top of their reach and we'll have

all the details and sport. oil giant saudi aramco has announced details of its plans to sell shares for the 1st time that it's also listed risks investors may face once the company's shares are publicly listed and its prospectus around co highlighted terrorism and armed conflict as having the potential to affect the company and its share price in september its oil processing facilities were attacked in global oil global oil supplies there's also the risk of the saudi government capping how much crude oil the kingdom is able to produce directly impacting the company and around co may be directed to undertake projects or work on other initiatives by the government which go against its immediate commercial objectives out of their economics editor of it ali joins me now so why is it been so difficult to get a very clear valuation of. it's such

a massive company you know when you're pumping one in every 8 barrels of oil in the world then it becomes a really difficult thing to judge what this company would actually be worth you're making a profit of $111000000000.00 i mean by any stretch of that's just huge now that money has been used by the government as revenue to for its its budgets now how do you go around. saying what these companies that you with know just think about it when you're trying to sell your house you calling the realtor and you say can you value my house and he says ok i'm looking at similar properties down the road and that one sold for x. amount so i think your house is worth that much but when you get into such a big properties which only the 1000000000. there's a multi-millionaires can actually buy then you can say look this is your aspiration now let's go and see if we can talk to a few people who would be interested in buying that particular property and then

you can figure out exactly how much you can put a price on that particular property now we come to the situation where you know that the saudi aramco and the crown prince wanted $2.00 trillion dollars to start with as a valuation for the company they say that at an oil price of $75.00 that the company is worth $2.00 trillion dollars share price the oil price right now is only $62.00 a barrel so they say the company is worth about $1700000000.00 sort of $1.00 trillion dollars nobody out there in the investment community who is the at chain trusted in investing in this thinks that's a realistic option when you mention the geopolitical risks already and that's the problem that they have they have to overcome those geopolitical risks and when you talk to begin festers overseas they all go we don't want to be sitting in the copilot seat when the pilots is the government of this. ok so when you talk about

these geo political risks and the fact that it's difficult to even get carts for you know for a company like aramco who's actually going to buy the stocks so we have the local community in saudi arabia itself now no point 5 percent of the stock will be sold to retail investors that mom and pops a. very small investors and then you have another allotment for. government pension funds amongst other things then the outside investors will get a little bit extra so in total we could see about 3 percent of the company being sold on the saudi's stock exchange now if you think of if you think a microsoft is now the most valuable company in the world and valued at $1.00 trillion dollar. it doesn't make the same kind of profit says. aramco but everybody knows what microsoft does where is is an unknown company which

basically everybody is trying to learn about the financials and the the risks that are involved with us our right and it's going to be quite a process and feels like we've been talking about it for quite some time obviously we'll see what actually happens thank you. iran's president has announced the discovery of a new oil field which could boost the country's reserve by a 3rd the field was found in the southern province hassani says it contains an estimated 50000000000 barrels of crude oil iran face a strict u.s. sanctions including one its on its oil sales after washington pulled out of the nuclear deal. discovered a large will field with the capacity of 53000000000 barrels of oil which is the stump of once we telling the white house that even though you impose sanctions on our oil sales the engine is discovered another 53000000000 barrels of oil. i should talk and as an international oil consultant and joins us now from london we appreciate your time so much so the announcement this this this discovery does it

surprising to you. no i think him mother georgia just experience in middle east oil provinces would not be surprised because millet is has a lot of oil a great deal of oil and the more you discover the more you'll find opposite to the normal expectation negative expectations so i'm not surprised as to the discovery of this but of course announcements is a is made by politicians they haven't given much technical details whether it is 53000000000 barrels is orderly and plays or they are or it is a recoverable but even if it is already in place that would say 102030 percent can be discovered is a huge quantity and our other question that i noticed in the news media be fair to this is the formation of the subsurface as a bigger piece of the late cretaceous to. me than that though these 2 formations are generally considered as

a source draw as shade and not very good reservoirs but joan agenda exploration is something that you can never forecast account make it more though you have to go and discover so i'm not surprised that this could discover has been made in fact exploration division of national unity and company has been the least affected adversely as the other divisions by politics and they have been doing very well as you know a month ago they announced the gas discovery in the south but that is reasonable because there's a continuation of george as to what that tad high debasement these and it is all gas prone and so in general i am not surprised ok let me look at another maybe maybe i mission this that discovering making the discovery is different from actually producing them to pretend that was hacked or 'd a 9 gas missile or that's exactly what i mean that's what it that's what i want to talk to you about how long before iran can potentially see any type of benefit from

this. well that depends on the particular cat actually it is of this the reservoir that has been discovered is it is 'd it a tight or is it water is it. poorest as a water bed that can flow out and so on i would say at least. 2 or 3 years minimum but again their world has changed and it is not by 30 years ago that they would produce so many well before producing many. companies now they do extended will test so this start producing that large quantities while they are testing so one can get oil out of actually flew out of this i would say 2 or 3 years would be no problem of course these sanctions a political problem that you have already mentioned are there old time and the but it's got a statement by the president say you want to say that look we can do it in spite of

the sanctions and so on which is of course part of the got has been i'm not there but if you've got an artist but it shows the room can go wrong in in spite of these constraints but of course there would be and they kept in the could buying equipment imports facilities and so on and transfer off funds especially those nights just banking system unfairly is imposing on any transaction to do with you know it is to be held which is needed to be nonmilitary and so on that is unfortunate and it's all extremely complicated and could take a while to play out minister talk and thank you very much for your insight appreciate it. police in hong kong are trying to break up more protests it is the 24th straight weekend unrest and anger at security forces is growing i mean stray should start against a bill that would allow extraditions to china so that's been shelved but anti-government sentiment that has spread so clark joins us now from hong kong sara there are 6 areas that the protesters are targeting secure and shot 10 protesters

have smashed windows parts of the mall what is the latest where you are. with the latest we've had hundreds of riot police here surrounding this particular area which as you mentioned it's shops and it's pretty much the empty out with the chinese the bus station and 2 shopping centers out there that are connected and we had a lunch group of protesters moved through before but it was relatively peaceful aside from what you mentioned where the graffiti band lives and smashed some of those access points and stools we got it within the shopping center in the last hour or so the hundreds of riot place appear to be got a handful still here monitoring the situation but as you mentioned there are 6 districts a target today and the focus was shopping malls plazas those empty one which is now the area of the new territories which is where we are now the protest is set fire to barricades and the place to try to clear them out into more and there was another small rally but guess what's by those place to try and move out those

protests now it's been a heavy police presence across home as a result of those pointed to spin scattered across 6 districts but no major all violent confrontations now tomorrow and monday the practices will head out again the i am tomorrow is a general strike targeting the transport system so they're going to try and stop people from actually getting to work and as you mentioned this will be the 5th month of protests in hong kong. so sara there is that and dependent international panel that is investigating and the police watchdog for for hong kong for that watchdog. for the police department and their ability to actually investigate themselves what do we know about this report. well this is a quite extraordinary development this was an independent panel set up of international experts by the government to help or assess the hong kong watchdog into investigating the winning primary into the police force now one of the

panelists professor kiffin start from the start from the kiel university he released on twitter an interim report or a progress report on the home phone watchdog and what he said he said the body lacks power its ability must be enhanced if it's to present an accurate or genuine assessment of the actual protests that are going on he's question how to make a comprehensive assessment it said the of the watchdog must revise its resources and process is now also the interesting thing here was he released it on twitter where yet to confirm if that interim statement a progress report has also been released to the government the government has responded to a particular request by the media as to why don't they receive this this is an interim report but certainly a very interesting development into criticism of the resources of the capability of hong kong so what stalled investigating these ongoing protests right sarah clarke with the latest from hong kong sara thank you. at least 4 protesters have been

killed as iraqi security forces moved in to clear protest sites in baghdad demonstrators have been on the streets for weeks now they say they're fed up with corruption a struggling economy and a lack of basic services but a heavy handed security crackdown more than 250 people dead reports from baghdad. on saturday evening security forces from baghdad to basra and karbala confronted protestors 6 in baghdad there were reports of gunfire and tear gas at a square and a bridge here tom or square shortly after the iraqi human rights commission started reporting that demonstrators had die but there was a good dose of him being peaceful we have people from tribes and they're firing at us with the sort of the work week on sunday it's clear security forces were trying to ensure the protests in the iraqi capital were confined to talk where square that's been the epicenter of the anti-government protests which began on october

1st the military says they won't disperse peaceful protesters but they will ensure life returns to normal we're going to arm them we have orders to arrest anyone who books to rights this kind of crime is dangerous the word be repeated if we have given orders to all forces in baghdad and of a provinces to arrest people who take them to cool its sources say most political parties have reached a deal to keep prime minister idle heady in power the thinking goes since there is no one to replace him he should be the one to implement the reforms protesters are demanding ahead he says he will introduce an amendment to reform government ministries it would include hiring younger people and creating greater transparency the influential shia cleric solder and his followers the largest bloc in parliament remain united with protesters and are calling for him to resign natasha going to

a physically unlikely that present able morale is secured the 10 percentage point margin needed to win outright police in several bolivian cities have joined protests over last month's disputed vote on iran's president has announced the discovery of a new oil field in kasamh province group could prove to be a lifeline as ron faces strict u.s. sanctions after washington pulled out of the nuclear deal. monday marks the 15th anniversary of the death of the late palestinian leader yasser arafat the former president and nobel peace laureate died in suspicious circumstances after years of work to try and end the conflict between israel and palestine arafat foundation will hold their annual meeting on sunday to grant an award in his name aimed at encouraging achievements and national work for many yasser arafat was a hero of the palestinian uprising against the israeli occupation he was one of the founders of the political faction fatah and fought with the organization against israel with the aim of liberating palestine gained control of the palestinian

liberation organization with arafat as its leader he eventually signed the oslo accords with israeli prime minister yitzhak rabin in september 1900. 3 which created the promise of peace but 26 years later the still no resolution to the israeli palestine conflict and settlement expansion continues arafat died in 2004 from what was reported to be a month on illness but an al-jazeera investigation in 2012 arafat was poisoned by radioactive toxins are as far as an executive committee member of the palestine liberation organization and joins us from ramallah thank you very much for joining us so the we talked about that we mentioned just now the oslo thank you they also of course as part of arafat's legacy there it's been many many challenges what has what progress has really been made since the promise of the oslo accord well the us law agreements on what we call the nation of principles that agreement

has been seriously flawed and it had all sorts of built in obstacles and problems which in them in many ways you know came back to haunt and so the those who signed the agreement had in many ways adopted the functional rather than the territorial approach adopted the phase that road separation of people from the london sun so in many ways the worst that is an awesome though came to fruition by allowing israel to prolong its occupation to continue its expansion and to prevent actually effectively to destroy the emergence of an independent palestinian state and i think there was a great deal of bad phase in terms of the formulation of such agreements but where we are now in a sense we have seen the end of the chances of peace not only because of israeli actions on the ground but also because of american collusion and support what arafat make of what you just said the fact that 2 state solution really seems to me

to be to be dead. yes but yes that effort in many ways was all palestinians i think one of them just a leader to a president who was a symbolic figure he embodied the palestinian identity and national history and he moved from that it will loosen the stud. to state building and negotiations and sonne. in some ways people would accept many of his comings because of his stature because he was larger than life to people and because of the way in which he was targeted and killed so what would you say i think you would feel a certain degree of disappointment because he had hoped to bring the palestinians to independence to freedom to self determination to statehood to the implementation of that act of return for the palestinian refugees and all his efforts were thwarted in many ways what we're saying is that is sumption of the catastrophe of

the night by of 1948 that through wish an all of the 2 state solution or the emergence of an independent palestinian state which are slim as its capital and that out of it and for that of g.'s the palestinian population is as a very young population a 3rd of them are considered considered you prate so and what regard do you know do they hold hand and do you think that the current palestinian leadership is fragmented as it is are really in touch with what it is the youth want. no that is a very serious gap between the people and the leader spoke in many ways between the people and women and men and the leadership that has stayed in place for far too long that's why we are in need of the elections but the u.s. duty member him they might not remember the whole history of the p.l.o. but to them he is still the iconic leader we were talking to several people.

young and many young organisations and so on and they still live near him and they veer his memory and his standing and so on there were many attempts by americans and israelis to smear his has a few taishan to really target him and his legacy but people here are loyal they were just as long as when he was to be siege by the israelis and his headquarters and everybody came to try to break the siege from all factions and own people so they own people will hold him in the highest respect and see the symbolic value of the father of the nation but at the same time that extremely critical of what's happening now and they would like to see a serious change and everybody will of democracy genuine activation of that to the legitimacy of the p.l.o. and the leadership as

a whole so let's talk about what's happening now since arafat's that that obviously the a leadership is fragmented there's there's the ta there are some os what does that mean for. the future of palestinians. yes we are facing a very difficult period now it's not just the fragmentation that is a serious rift between the p.l.o. factions and how massive and as a west bank and gaza and sound and we're trying to rectify this if through all day elections even under occupation to try to maintain a sense of democracy and inclusion and to give the people that i thought to choose to hold their leadership accountable and to choose a new leadership and we hope that they will be able to do that but at the same time the cut and conditions are extremely adverse to palestinian diets and the ability to emerge from this this critical situation in which israel is expanding without

limits i mean it is literally it is super imposing greater israel over all of historical palestine and it is maintaining and how to flick cruel seeds and blockade over gaza and making life almost impossible to live in and with that settlement expansion under-staffed of land and the sources at those destroying their chances of an independent and viable palestinian state so the conditions are not easy i don't think there's anybody who thinks that that is a panacea that there can be a solution whether that by the consultation and ending that if to which is important to all of us or by changing the leadership because the inhabitants is going to be very difficult it's not an easy legacy you cannot change the nature of this extreme hardline basest israeli government nor can you change the positions of the american administration that has targeted the palestinians relentlessly with

very cruel unilateral measures beginning with jerusalem and going through that after your g.'s and statehood and so on and the funding palestine and trying to destroy our institute. and then you have of course that the gentle reality is that that extremely difficult that agent is in this day and then the period the state of turmoil so and the palestinians are part of the ality that is in that sense in the state of flux and yet we are under siege and cool controlled by an unaccountable occupation so it's very. to change to dislodge the occupation and all the conditions that have made life seemly difficult and that have also contributed to the lack of confidence between the people and the leaders and honest and showing us from ramallah thank you very much. 25 years after signing a peace treaty with israel the jordanian government has refused to renew

a cause that allowed israeli tourists and farmers these a free access to 2 large stretches of jordanian territory that area runs along the border between the 2 countries it's another sign the relationship is under strain over israel's treatment of the palestinians let's go now to bernard smith he joins us a live now from cora to tell us more about is supporting on this burner. at the end of this road how because of one of those 2 large areas of israeli jewish own land that is in jordanian sovereign territory for the last 25 years since the signing of the peace agreement between israel and jordan israeli farmers have been allowed to continue bombing the 2 areas of london 25 years ago when this agreement was signed it was issued and they would be easy just to simply roll it over at the expiration of the special deal but it's not turned out like that because is the relationship between israel and jordan is so bad that the jordanians decided to

end this lease because it was one way they could publicly show the jordanian people that enough was enough in terms of their relationship with israel. there may be a peace agreement between jordan and israel but it's under considerable strain. so these are some of the last israeli tourists to walk across the border without passports to visit jordanian sovereign territory that's been owned and farmed by jews for almost 100 years jordan is not renewing a 25 year deal that granted privileged access and. will lose some of our income and a kibbutz makes a living from these lands move got a deep emotional attachment to the area. israel got vital security cooperation along its longest land border when it signed the peace treaty in 1994 our viewers

to see this very becomes a very old piece jordan's king hussein and his people were promised political and economic benefits but they've not materialized i think it's true that if there'd been progress on the palestinian issue it would have helped with a way to tional jordan i think jordan is also disappointed with the economic benefits that it hoped to gain from the peace treaty there was talk of one stage that we would have one airport in the south of and so forth jordan is well and is well decided that we didn't want to proceed with that then 12 months ago as far as cultivated crops that take years to mature the u.s. recognized all of jerusalem as the capital of israel and jordan's economy continue to struggle everything combined to intensify jordanian public opinion against israel. and what's important for jordanians is the ending of this agreement because they don't want any relationship with israel ending it was an easy way for the government to respond to the demands of the street there is no sympathy for the

peace agreement with israel because jordanians believe that had no benefit from it perhaps the most important crop the fruits of peace has failed to take root here. now jordan's foreign ministry has told al-jazeera that it's got its land back but this land remains as far as we understand opened by those israeli farms and it's not clear what happens next the israeli farmers have said in the past that they hope some sort of new arrangement come be met can become to where they will still be allowed access to fall on this land we shall all right bernard smith with the latest bernard thank you. and uncertain times there is one place where there are always sunny days and everything is a ok talking about sesame street up until children show is celebrating its 50th anniversary with jingles and positivity sesame street also tackle serious issues like death homelessness and divorce her son salumi has more. on what we're going we're going to let her big bird ventured out of his usual neighborhood to celebrate
