of all the nobel peace prize is underway in osco journalist from the philippines and russian john list, and it's more of a joint proceeding the prize for their fight to promote freedom and overcrowded trucks crashed and southern mexico killing at least 54 people. the believe to have been heading to the united states. another 55 were injured, please suspect the truck overturned and had a bridge because it was so overloaded. the court in london's rule that we can find, julian, our sons, can be expedited to the united states. the 50 year old dog faced trial in the us on several charges, including spying on. david gordon is an extra dish lawyer, a d g law. he's joining us now live from london. david, thank you very much indeed for being with us. and we heard earlier in the program, stella morris julian sanchez partner saying that they were determined that they were going to appeal this decision. what do you make of julianna sanchez chances of avoiding extradition now? what skills have become increasingly difficult?

we can work his way up through the the court system and the grounds become narrow, narrow. understand that the really only has 2 grounds to challenge on one is whether the actual original issue that causal the judicial process is sufficient to merit being a crime, to, to exploit them on all of these assurances the now seems to be given by the u. s. government that he was seeking previously and whether they, you know, that some technical aspect to them, they can somehow challenge those as far as those promises or assurances of the us has, has made kind of difficult to police. those isn't that if julian sounds eventually is extradited to the united states and is on us soil. well, i think that's really not much. where is the sonya family legal team? you know, at the moment of the assurance is made within a court system. because you say, when it gets into practice, you know,

i realistically going to be to, to, to police fellow morris made a point when she was making a statement earlier on that she was very critical of the u. k 4 and she put it imprisoning journalists on behalf of foreign governments. that is, of course, a wider issue here, isn't there that this level of cooperation that you can see between foreign governments to expedite, move journalists around, are people claiming to the journals describing themselves as journalists could open up for a whole different range of possible situations, could substitute it right, this will be a benchmark case and what it, what is the standard of proof required? what is they the injure that cause that triggers the whole process and how far people at risk of themselves in a been court. but it has been a lot of criticism for a long time about the u. s. u k. expiration process. i think this is another example of where, where it proved to be going to massively in favor of the u. s. yeah, as you're talking about a moment ago, of course, this is the day from the nobel committee is or what the peace prize to,

to journalists for their fights for price freedom. part of this, if i understand correctly, as far as the julian funds case was concerned, was about his claim that he was acting as a journalist at the time the us maintaining that no, he wasn't, he was a private citizen. and again, this open this, this definition, if you like this, this choice of definition, interpretation of what a journalist actually is, is going to be key to this. but again, could set precedents for the future. nothing. that's right. it's i think ever we're looking it very closely to see you know, how this plays, not nate has he was in the threshold when it comes to actual trial. what do you think accused though they've gotten, we appreciate you joining us now does either. so thank you very much indeed for your time. you very welcome. the state departments called for other democratic countries to expand their engagement with taiwan after nicaragua, the government decided to cut diplomatic ties with the island nation. chinese

foreign minister, welcome to move in a statement and praised nick argo is commitment to the communist parties, one china policy, the lines expressed pain and regret the decision. only 14 countries in the world recognized how want as a country timelines president has responded, evolving to safeguard democracy is also organ. you've got a more successful taiwanese democracy and the greater the international support than the greater the pressure from the authoritarian camp. whether it's diplomatic pressure or military intimidation, we will not change our determination to a dear to democracy and freedom to go on the international stage and to participate in the international democratic community. by here's the finder of a new bloom magazine and a writer for the diplomat is done played nicaragua has moved and says timelines, unofficial allies such as the us hold more weight. so the time in spite interesting because of the summer for democracy that can be in by the, by the ministration town and invited despite not being

a member of the us. so this is a sign of the us strength of amendments towards taiwan. ivr china has reacted by angrily to that it is not invited. and so this is included hang back at the us, i was think of this a show that it is not actually final anything significant. but the same time when you see this with no progress breaking relationships, i want at this time if it does seem rather suspicious. so what is interesting, i think, is how this will play out domestically in that the pro china opposition. the k m t will use us to attack the ruling side ministration. and so the diplomatic allies that towel on has are smaller than it in terms of the size of the population or economy. they're probably a role is to speak up or taiwan in international organization from which it is excluded. and if occurred with nicaragua as recently as september. so it does somewhat of a surprise that there is the switch now over in terms of the substantive impact. it does not have a lot of impact on taiwan directly in that way. china would like to see how long have fewer and fewer for our lives. and in this way, is

a way to diplomatically humiliate taiwan on the world stage at a time in which there is increasing support from taiwan internationally, whether that be from the us, from european union countries or cetera. and so this is a way to work against that trend. and so this is a way to attack the time ministration that is currently in our and potentially affect elections. because sometimes tony is do perceive the stinking of international space when they do lose the amount of allies over in most cases how and artificial ties with other countries, such as what the us food does not actually have formulation. taiwan are more important than the de fanatic allies who do not actually do much except the speak up or taiwan once in awhile. and these are josh or they should. but i think china will try to continue with activity. then national criminal court opened an investigation into the venezuelan government handling of opposition protest in 2017 . more than $100.00 people were killed during months of unrest. as the 1st time the icpc has launched an inquiry against a south american nation. theresa bo reports from clack us. a thing. it's been 4

a government plan that targeted protesters as opposition forces. it also includes human rights abuses against opponents, but also members of the security forces who dared to challenge the government. we should, i call them as a tro at the international criminal court includes the possibility of a detention or something. the other reports do not have. and the fact that it's a shame to be the only latin american government to be tried at b, c, c, l, e. daniel is trying to assist the victims in their search for justice, gets it, but i think i feel elementary thought it was the fact that there was an official investigation is the story is never happened in the americas. we have to consider that before. that was the case in hundreds of columbia, and this is the 1st con, there was an investigation the government says the crime should be investigated and tried in the country. it also says abuses are being committed by the united states and other countries against venezuela, through economic sanctions. but victim say the violations committed against government critics are brutal and should be punished in an international court.

a full. ah ah, welcome to al jazeera, special coverage of the fee for arab kept

a tournament doubling up as a major warm up event for the cutter woke up next year. hello, am he the same as plenty of school fees? will you, including to call the finals here at the fee for arab cap on friday? also on the way will hear from both lewis hamilton and next for stopping. as if one boss is born them to drive safely in the title show down in abu dhabi and back in contention. england fight back against australia and the 1st ashes says thanks to half entry from jo, rude, and david milan. we've reached the quarter final stage of the fee for arrow gap with the 1st $2.00 games coming up later on friday. the stand out i seize hosts cutter, take on the united arab emirates at what is expected to be a full capacity obeyed stadium. cutter one all 3 group games and they've beaten the u. e in the previous 2 meetings, including a for now,

when in the semi finals of the 2019 asian camp in abu dhabi, a tournament that went on to when to be crowned asian champions. it's a different game, different competition in a different scenario, so it's very different shawl. everything wanted to go when it to show on the field. i made sure they will try to play the game with their style, with their philosophy, with their objective to win. and we're gonna try to do the same shaw. the bust doesn't means anything to us. it just that tomorrow we need to show that he withers out of to, to be in the next room. the united arab emirates when they 1st 2 games of the arab cat, but were beaten by groupie when as soon as ya in the last match there coast, by the experience. desmond bird fun more vague. who says that cut all the favorites heading in. so the game, especially with home advantage for me replaying care again, sir. i think the big favorite of this group, they have

a very long preparation already for a few years. they are together play all over the world against all kind of different styles. most of my players, they didn't play a tournament like this before. so it, sir, for several things. very important to, to play this game before that the 1st quarter final kicks off in a few hours time between 2 in his ear and oman. they've only ever played each other once. that was in a friendly in 2011, which the oman is 121 says you have impressed this to them. they're finishing top of group b. that brings us to poor race who is live at the education. said he stayed in the head of that game pool. it's hard not to seat in his ear as my heavy favorite for this one. indeed fate. i mean, i think if you've been watching the arab cup at some more intriguing contest than

at 1st appears on paper, you know, on paper in his ear. it's not long since we saw them at the world cup in russia that 5th woke up. they could have progress progress further there. it wasn't for a very late goal, conceded against england. they've won the africa combinations that the inaugural winners of the arab cup and 29th in the world compared to amman, 78th in the world. they're on his list is, is to an arabian gulf cups. and so yes, they certainly go into this game as underdogs. on the other hand, there's not really a competitive records to speak of between these 2. in fact, it's their 1st competitive match. and the other day, why you are there now in the studio pizza i spoke to emma emma al hasanti, one of omens, legendary strike, as he won the gulf cup in 2009, he said there is certainly a glimmer of hope for amman in this fixture and said that extra reasons for the home funds in must got to be excited watching this much. the fact when

a certain angular shanicea is a strong team, but we did beat them to one in a friendly in 2011, now withdrawn with the wreck. we were great against qatar and against bahrain. we were sensational, beautiful goals, or players talented, but the average age is only $23.00. this is great experience for them as they tried to qualify for the world cup after this. the friends at home delighted, especially as the domestic league has been suspended all through the pandemic. we appreciate the players and hope they maintain the same level against you nicea. now of course, the relative historic strengths of the teams is important for i think there's also question of momentum going into this call to finally an auction. as you start to this competition, as you might expect with a 51 win over mauritania, but then they lost to nil to syria and he was only a one nil. went against u e in the last group, much. they got them through to the knockouts, a man on the other hand,

a very creditable jury draw against iraq for my asian champions in their 1st game. and then a very muscular performance against cats are in that 2nd much cats are been very good in this tournament. of course, as well and amman only losing that one due to a late late goal. it was given on via the ball only just crossing the line and then an incredibly good performance against bahrain winning that one. so yes, oh man, all on the dogs. but i think that form of this tournament shows that i have a face prospect which in india who were i was expecting a big crowd later on when the host nation are in action in the quarter finals against the u. e. the mex. if you read a monsoon as you, how's it looking in terms of fan arrival and potential attendance? yeah, there have been funds arriving particularly noticeably in the last sort of 20 minutes . so say we just had a, a group of ammonia, go into the stadium,

and there were more chin indians around a bit earlier. there's a highway just over, hey, way, hey, beeping of hollins and cars driving past which in is in flag. so i think more and more arriving, i don't get the impression is going to be a huge crowd and it's been mixed. attendance is at this arrow cup. we've seen some cases where much have said that sold out online and then there hasn't been a capacity crowd. we are told that's because these huge world cup stadiums aren't always being approved as capacity. it's being done on a much by much basis. for example, the big crowd, it agent, algeria and for the cattle games and that the semi finals and the finals will certainly be capacity. and it's a friday hearing counts on the 1st day of the weekend. so plenty of opportunity for neutrals to come down to this game and indeed, as will be one of the advantages of the well kept. they would still have the have time to go across town and be at the cat's r u i. e e e game in, i'll bite later on. or i paul reset the education city stadium. thank you. enjoy

the game to the cricket. and england has got themselves back into contention. in the 1st ashes, test against australia was looking bleak for the tourists who started their 2nd innings. 278 runs behind. but despite losing their openers early on, jo route and offered milan, setting things to with an unbeaten partnership of 159 on a baking hot day. in brisbin, they both made half centuries and was still there at the close of clown day 3. with route 186 and milan on 80 ended with 220 for 2 at stumps, which means they will start a full just 58 runs behind and still with 8 wickets in hand. as soon as we think too far ahead, am you open a door for them and they're so brilliant at, at sort of close in that door for us. so, you know, i think that 1st hour is really important for us to morrow. and then we could start thinking about how well we can play, but we need one more good 100 run partnership to put a good school on the board. and, you know, who knows what can happen to form in

a while and max for staff and as fast as so far in practice for the title, the sliding, abu dhabi grand prix. he and louis hamilton on level on points going into the race . but for stoppin will win the championship if they both fail to finish because he has more victories. they've collided 3 times the season, and both have been warned to drive carefully ahead of their championship show down on that sunday. it's happened in the past, obviously, and i think it's, i'm sure the, the shirts hadn't, haven't done taken the, the, the precautions they have this time around. and, and so i'm, i think that's, i think the fair that they, they do it. i mean, i know what's in the splitting code, so i think nobody needs to be really reminded of that, and i think they can put it in every single race weekend. i mean, there's nothing new newly added. i can't control those things around me. i will, i can do is control what, what i do in terms of preparation and how conduct myself of the last year. i didn't

have a lot of hope that we will be sitting here, you know. busy end of end of the season fighting for a title, but i think from the start, you know, we were very competitive. it just feels like another tampa shift. me. i don't, i don't look at it as a, as a multiple. i always look at every season and every year as you start from ground 0 and you're fighting hunter and you're fighting from, from the moment you start training, the more you get into the new years and you're training the focused on a winning overall, you know, we can be really proud of the whole team effort, you know, to be, to be sitting here and fighting for his title. i remember cycle says fear for us. so i know had that experience. it isn't the roller coaster of emotions that you guys are. so that's all from us from now. here's a reminder about sports story. it's called the final day at the arrow come with host cutter. aiming to make it straight wins in the competition the host for you.

later on friday, we'll be back in a few hours time with most sports. 1545, g m t c u, then ah, for the 1st time since the need up to the 2nd world war, the nobel peace prize is being awarded to jen maria. reza dmitri motor tougher receiving the 2021 prize. that courageous contribution to freedom of expression in the philippines and in russia, in an exclusive interview live here in oslo. we'll be speaking to this year's lawyers about the challenges and dangers they faced doing their jobs. and if significant in protecting democracy, the nobel entities only on al jazeera with
