the united states that supply crash coverage will be varying accounts but i want to give people the reasons for joining the global conversation on how to 0. pakistan's former president pervez musharraf sentenced to death on charges of treason for suspending the constitution in 2007. when i'm come all santa maria this is the world news from al-jazeera it is day 13 of the transport workers strike in france flights and trains a canceled christmas holiday plans are in the threats also a new report accuses israel of using the military to crack down on palestinian media and political activity in the west bank and the crisis deepens for boeing

production of its 737 max is suspended after 2 face will crashes. pakistan's former president pervez musharraf has been sentenced to death in a high treason case of lead pakistan for 9 years after seizing power in a military coup in 1909 he had previously served as the country's chief of army stuff just before that his case relates to the nationwide emergency that he imposed when he suspended the constitution in november of 2007 the former leader now lives in exile in dubai which means he was tried in absentia in islamabad so on the line for us now from islamabad just maybe take us through the whole process 1st of all come on who brought this case and how it reached this conclusion. when

it should be remembered as a good back in 2016 when the prime minister of the country would know why it should be he initiated k.d. heikki didn't try it which was led by a member judge a go kick long. hours doing it would indict kate and grady 16 he left the country because it had to or deteriorating and because of that he would not be able to come into the country to defend him said. dick who won a take on president in pakistan's history given the fact that no form of manipuri really had ever been condensed or get so engaged david big decision by the court. would be seen more as a symbolic move given the fact that much out of hand there is in bad shape e.j. not much prettier than the buy and f.o. i'm likely to be able to come to focus on even as far as the appeal is concerned

which has now to be flying with interrogate gave in to supreme court against it. how is his legacy viewed in pakistan we are 2019 now where well 12 years since this constitution suspension happens what has time done this as sheriff legacy. major controversial figure no doubt but there would be question marks as to why the court came out with such a harsh judgment. that keeping the sides he had his support there but not to allege that rare he was able to get any work despite the fact that you try to get one if it landed and alter the fact that the country your k.g.b. recently had now a former prime minister now why should he be being exchanged he were given paid on

medical grounds and allowed to keep the country for they would be question mark why detroit date now and why is it so hard but the political party agree to be aiming at that major rate tree because pakistan has seen several gods and dates of college will now set the precedent because no menu creator would have would be a free to take over all or bend the constitution all through the constitution because that 'd carry a maximum then so dead or a night life imprisonment aren't under article 6 of the pakistani constitution thank you come on hot on the line from islamabad on to other news french transport workers the staging demonstrations nationwide for the 13th day against government plans to reform pensions trains and flights are being disrupted that could continue through the christmas holiday workers would need to work 2 extra years now to full getting a full pension well at least under this new proposal that's what they the government

says they will create a fastest m but also the official behind the plans and that's a quit of risk handle involving on the clade income. in paris reporting on this $113.00 days and the end in sight. well no no end in sight for now because the trade unions are saying these strikes and protests may continue through the christmas holiday so that would be through next week and maybe even beyond that i'm outside one of the main train stations in paris i just had a look around inside normally it would be packed with people with lots of trains leaving from here but i can tell you there's barely anyone inside and nurture angel leaving any time soon and that's pretty much been the picture over the past 13 days nearly 2 weeks these transport strikes have continued causing major disruptions with bus services trams costs also disruption at the airport because air traffic

controllers and air france pilots have also been taking industrial action and today we're expecting cross the country are a series of nationwide protests not just transport workers but trade unions have called on people from all sectors teachers and doctors and lawyers to join in and go to work today and to march in the streets across paris there will be a large modulator we'll have to see what sort of numbers turn out there's no doubt though that for people who are trying to get from a to b. in the country it has become increasingly frustrating we've been talking to people who've said that you sort of supporting the strike they're ok with it for the time being they are getting a bit fed up of having to walk to work or take a train this extremely crowded or get on a bicycle or even try to find a bicycle because it's not always easy. and how is the government reacting to all of this their language seems to suggest they're not going to back away from the reforms. the french prime minister

it was only just revealed of the details of the government's pension plan proposals last week until then it had been clear what the government even intended and that uncertainty certainly feels a lot of the fear is and a lot of the protests that we've been seeing over the past few days now some of those measures of course have been welcomed by some people here in france but one of the big problems for many people is the fact that the government wants people to now retired 2 years later than they currently do in $62.00 they want them to now retire at $64.00 in order to access their full pension payouts well that is not going down well with many of the trade unions that is why they are asking for these protests to continue the government says though that the pension reform system needs to be streamlined people need to work longer so there's more money in the policy if you like and they say they won't back down and the foreign minister also said he didn't want to enter into

a standoff with the trade unions but it really does look as if that's exactly what we have because you've got the trade union saying they're going to continue got the government saying they're not going to back down and so far it doesn't seem that there's any break in the un pass thank you natasha butler paris. getting reports of more violence in india's capital new delhi early as students from the university have been told by the supreme court to take their accusations of police brutality to the high court to lower court they say officers launched a crackdown during their protest against a new citizenship law on sunday protests carrying on in the capital and other parts of india angry about this law which offers minorities from neighboring countries citizenship but then excludes muslims so how raman is that jamia millia islamia university in new delhi where the still tension after sunday night's violence. for the last few hours students have been gathering in very large numbers demonstrating

outside gate number 7 many of them have taken it upon themselves to marshal the traffic system so the traffic jams an excuse for the authorities to come anywhere near the area it has to be said there is a complete absence of the security services here there were no police anywhere near the university here on tuesday and perhaps they know that is such a sensitive scenario to lay with regards to the university they are keeping that distance of the another reason that all of you see is the supreme court a 3 month bench chaired by the su the chief justice of india is actually hearing petitions made by civil society and by senior lawyers over the violence that this university area saw on sunday joining me now he's become a dress while he's a student here in the area and you will hear all the sunday times just talk about the new that we are experiencing no it was very different twist on sunday on sunday 2 different the mood of a scene but it's a mixture of anger enthusiasm and happiness anger against the government against

unlawful act of one undemocratic act and enthusiasm as you can hear the voices of the students it's very enthusiastic they're tending when they march and they're tending allowed in there but would that be the case that we have with the constitution and happen is that the auto india everyone is supporting us everyone who's supporting our boys the environment though did go very dark on sunday us hair wet it all went to you might say horribly wrong what actually happened to social concern actually the things they said but it was hijacked by the local politicians the open leaders and an open people but one of a simple protest as i said that the mood with a simple one anger enthusiasm and happiness but then there was some in 50 meters and then protests and then they marched toward the police and everything happened because of them there was no involvement of the students because that happened on sunday there was no involvement of the students. human rights watch is accusing israel of using sweeping military orders to criminalize nonviolent political activity by palestinians and says in the occupied west bank it says in a report the orders are being used to shut down media outlets to political

is an unprecedented decision and it is one that has massive impact to boeing and its suppliers and the airlines the airlines that have maxed jets on order are eager to get them the ones that have them in their fleets are eager to get them flying again the company says there will be no layoffs among the $12000.00 workers at its renton washington plant but the decision could affect workers at the 600 companies that are part of the 737 max supply chain the impact of the announcement is so great that boeing's woes could expand the u.s. trade deficit with other nations what makes this such a huge economic decision for boeing and for the global economy is that boeing is the largest manufacturing export are in the u.s. and it's also the largest component of the dow jones industrial average boeing says it has fixed the planes problems through software upgrades in pilot training but with each delay the future of company president dennis mulan berry has come

new cabinet took the ministerial oath $100.00 days ago many hoped it would usher in a new era and months of turmoil. mass protests led to the fall of longtime president. and now civilians who are back in charge alongside the former ruling military junta and. what we've achieved in the 1st 3 months isn't much and there are people had high expectations but in some issues we've gone with the peace process which is a priority it's not what we've started on it seriously we're moving well on the issue of democratic transformation there is more freedom whether it's in terms of media freedom or political freedom the government's pledge to put sudan back on the international scene prime minister. visited several countries including south sudan where he hoped talks could help bring peace to many conflict ridden parts of sudan he's also attempted to get sudan removed off a u.s. list of countries sponsoring terrorism. while the government has been focusing on

the regional and international community to support its home challenges are piling up it's a formal legislative assembly for the transitional period and just in the last few weeks there's been sporadic fuel shortages a lack of public transport and the economy is still in freefall that's what triggered last year's protests that brought this government to power. the economy is a concern for many inflation continues to rise in a country where more than half of the 14000000 population live below the poverty line. there's no improvement in the economy and are getting more and more expensive every day the ministers haven't been focusing on the internal issue of the economy which is hurting us citizens. and those who wants chanted for freedom peace and justice feel the government's shortcomings lie elsewhere. the government has yet to hold to account any member of the former regime to deliver justice for

those who have been killed during the demonstrations not just on june 3rd when the military righted are certain in front of me he'd courters but since the protests started. however the transitional government has disbanded the former ruling party and. its also scraped the public order act which human rights groups said targeted to women and street vendors cabinets members were nominated by the forces of freedom and change correlation which led the protest movement against. but some analysts say those are not experienced enough. when we look at the ministries individually which realize that the performance so far has been quite weak because most of the ministers don't have experience the health situation is worsening with several epidemics the economy is still suffering and the biggest challenge it's facing is the shoe of the deep state members of the former ruling party that are at every level in the government there trying to undo the work of a regime that has been in place for decades and with little experience that may
