ah. the hotel around a manager who saved more than 1200 lies during the genocide. 1994 has been freed from prison. the rwandan government commuted the sentence of pol recess about the you know in a deal broke had by cut off. he was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism charges 2 years ago. what support is called a sham trial, recessive. again, there is now at the residence of the could tarry ambassador in kigali. welcome web reports. 2 years ago, he was sentenced to 25 years on terrorism charges. he refused to participate in the court proceedings, rights groups and observers said the trial was a sham because of some i do not have household to the old. how the nature of that one done the government because it does not,
2:03 am
it doesn't talk to criticism. and so it's a bit to shed the right to the, to the system or for one of the, the top cushion. that's why the system can i've been fighting for, for human rights in one of the democracy in wanda and he had been for to become victim excited nearly 20. earlier he was made famous by the hollywood film. hotels were wonder. he's credited with saving more than 1200 lives during the 1994 genocide. more than half a 1000000 tutsis and modern hutus were killed by who to militia during the civil war. the rwandan patriotic front, led by pul cammie, won the war and to power company later became president recessive. again, became his critic ones. a government accused him of supporting an armed group that wanted to overthrow the government. we have maintained serious concerns about this
2:04 am
case, especially as regards political violence but and groups including those that are led by people operating from developed countries. but we have now agreed on no fundamental principles and we're able to, to, to move forward with the humanitarian relief recess. a beginner has belgian citizenship and was a residence of the wrath. 3 years ago he was deceived into boarding a plane into by and later repaired in rwanda's capital kigali in handcuffs rights group say he was kidnapped when the government says his sentence has been commuted following a presidential. pardon malcolm web al jazeera paul recessive again is to travel to katara then to the us where he's a permanent resident, us secretary of state anthony blink. and his fact the rwandan government for
2:05 am
freeing him. he treated saying, thankful to know paul will be rejoining his family soon. grateful to the rwandan government for making reunion possible. he also thank cattle for assisting my colleague steve clemens, host of al jazeera, the bottom line, interviewed rwandan, present pork connie twice in recent months. he has more on the government's decision. well, a remarkable change. the turn of events in december i interviewed president, could guy make you said he would not be bullied into making a decision and that it would take an invasion to get paul recess of begin out of prison in march in doha, he's i asked him, i said how's that position going? and he said, you know, sometimes you have to forgive the unforgivable and i got goosebumps on the back of my neck. i said, wow, they're going to release paul recess to begin. and then i said to him on stage in the interview, if may, if you make that decision, will you give me a call?
2:06 am
and they did. and so i think that the united states, with a lot of assistance from cutter was able to get to an understanding with or wanda about how to get paul recess begin at 20 others released without removing or pardoning his conviction. so the conviction remains on the books is sent and is commuted. he is going to go to doha soon, and then we'll move to the united states to reside there. what seems to be the key element is a change in stamp, from the u. s. government about how it was approaching president cook army, and so rather than framing recess a given as a wrongly detained person that's invalidating the legitimacy of his conviction. i think the white house, my sources tell me the white house reached out to find a different path that would not undermine the solvency of rwanda as concerns about
2:07 am
security and terrorism. and the death of civilians that they felt was tied to some of recessive beginners associations. president joe biden has warned iran the u. s. will act forcefully to protect americans. it's after the u. s. military carried out as strikes against iran linked targets in syria and retaliation for an attack that killed an american contractor, an injured 5 soldiers. let's speak to alan fish and he joins us live from washington, d. c. allen. what war is the white house saying about these strikes in relation to iran? well, it appears just in the last years the been an escalation and the attacks in that area, as you see, there was an attack on thursday, the u. s. responded after one, u. s. contractor was killed and 5 service people were injured. then there has been another cities of attacks. no speaking in the last couple of hours at a news conference and or to were where he's currently carrying out
2:08 am
a visit to the canadians. joe biden said that the u. s. would take very strong action if any of their people were injured. and so no, the question will be, will there be a father response from the u. s. or is this a moment where they try to restart, restore some sort of come to the area. there's also questions to be asked. none of them seem to be being asked directly to the pentagon. but why is the us still in syria? of course, there are no un resolutions saying there should be there. there is no reason under international law that they should be there yet. they continue to have a presence in syria. remember, the soldiers moved in a, at the time that i saw was building up its force. it was the whole idea of donald trump, of confronting, at the i. so caliphate i and the u. s. troops decided that it was decided that you as troops would stay tuned, the wards of then president donald trump, protect the oil and fight to grab the oil. was what he said on at least one or 2
2:09 am
occasions. so that has in the last few hours, been this escalation. clearly, that's not something that the u. s. want to continue. the question will be, will there be a response and just how large it will be? an alan tell us about the migration deal that the president has struck during his meeting with via canadian prime minister. well, this has been bubbling along for quite some time. and essentially what has been agreed is that the canada in the united states can now turn back asylum seekers from the very long border. remember, it's about 8800 kilometers. but there are a number of unofficial points where people have been crossing and that has one particular hot sport, even in the height of winter in quebec, at which links to, to new york and people have been crossing into canada through the united states to claim asylum they are clearly the canadians would prefer that they stayed in the united states, and a lot of these migrants are coming from central and south america. now,
2:10 am
what canada has decided to do, along with the united states is if any one crosses the border at any unofficial point, they can be immediately sent back by the authorities. and the canadians will take on our own $15000.00 new immigrants through the proper channels to resettle them if they claim asylum, and that their case is proven a at some point. and all this starts at midnight tonight. this is part of the reason why joe biden is in canada to, to firm up that deal, but clearly because there has been a alliances formed elsewhere in the last couple of weeks at joe biden wants to sure that one of the, all this alliances with canada is still strong, there are tensions between both countries, but the fact that this immigration deal has been reached at least reduces those that number by one or in fisher live in washington dc forest there. thank you. u. s stalks have closed hire after a week start to friday session. despite
2:11 am
a self among european banks, led by deutscher bank chairs in the german giant, close down 8.5 percent and had ongoing fears of a crisis in the banking sector. german chancellor shells hers try to reassure europe that the bank is profitable. dominic cane explains what's happening with deutsche bank and the market. what's behind this is what jargon is thickly is called c d. s. credits default swaps. that jargon translates to the cost of insuring against the possibility that a bank might default on its debts. and that is been caused by what has been happening in recent weeks. not just this what we've seen the value of shares tumbling in institutions like deutscher bank, but what was happening in switzerland, in so far as could histories is concerned. and then you b. s. this idea, the cost of insuring against the risk that large european banks might default on

2:13 am
all is why didn't a deal at why didn't the credit says cbs deal. what that was supposed to stop mister honey. oh, i think what happened was the way it was done because i'm rather than the normal way you resolve banks where bought, where you and why part shareholders. and then you look to see how much money is left and therefore, and then you reimburse credit. credit is in a strict order of seniority. and on this occasion that she paid shareholders some money and then wiped out completely a particular group of bondholders and who should have been more senior to the equity holders. and that has really upset a lot of people is it's, it's basic so we don't know where we stand. now. we don't know whether our, our credit is safe or not. and although some central banks, notably the b and the bank of immune boat said we would honor the existing ranking

2:15 am
some protesters and police clashed in several french cities overnight. police union said more than $400.00 offices in the country were injured. king charles was due to visit paris in just a few days, but seems like this and more planned protests had prompted belief a palace to postpone the trip. at an e u summit in brussels prison, macro said the king would be welcomed. another time you mockery on disassemble sauce. we would have liked common sense if we had held a state visit for his majesty the king and the queen consort. in the midst of the protests and given the esteem and the friendship, we feel for his majesty the king and the queen consort and the british people. i made the decision to call him this morning and tell him what the situation was. trade unions won't emmanuel my quarters, scrap the pension reform, they say it's unfair and will hurt poor workers. but macro says it's necessary to
