dominated, silent and politics for 20 to use. but unique name for a lot of people of mine is, you know, is running a roger pack. so you're being probably minutes to a president on and off for over 30 years. what have you done to have the roger pipes is responsible for their religious corruption and many other crimes? why do you say you were opposed to the window cleaning? not then i became prime minister means instead that natural being grad using 3. we created the financial crimes and division that was a separate the secretary and he had to inquire into that option headed by miss dunn . and we did find that was donated dominions to fall a big security. and there was another one to form a head of, uh, uh, i think i missed out value. i wanna know who uh, uh, consummating the nation and then that was a bright buddy commission. all of them investigated me some more time, but i just pops up, prosecute. i was in the lease by good bessy roger pops up, prosecute done a nama rod. your bucks,

those prosecute dead your she thought your bucks us prosecute that has a name missing from your list less than mine the ridge of bucks that. so do you dare to find dividends nice. not value. like your economy. there's no, no, no, that's what the evaluations that he took $7000000.00. so attorney's corporation. i know there are many crimes. i refuse to look in my country, is that the enemy didn't ray who was not the party to cut a finger, hold the sides on prosecution. you can only sign the evidence before he at the end of the decided what this says, you. some of the building your covering up for them. i am not got you that i need unit. i'm not that i need and then i watched the video of you actually you attended the birthday party of the present mine to roger pucks in november 2023 from the beginning of your singing of the cake. right. and what's wrong, do you normally attend the bus is all the people you're trained to be a poster. i'm in need to be along because of the high we meet, we have, i'd be for them to do in the email, some legal for social functions, readings, people knows all of that. 5 and mr. mines the proxies guns and up to date night

the park says, all of those values are a no, no, can you, can you your, your no, but on it and you are trying to say that the or does it matter. he said, tony do not know decides to prosecute or not. so i will say that i don't want to be kidding on. i rena, posing the roger for the rest of them. no, maybe the allowing me to finish then that's the no, no, i do really. that's the case is the new to the is not, i am not new for you. ok, maybe what's my view west a new bank on the corner in people and so thing of them to think i don't know yet. so i'm the ones out there right now who can have, i know these are the 1st, let me bring it up on the switch and we'll do a restaurant in them. is a senior politics, electricity, and invest in london, executive director of pals and advocacy group, a time of human rights centurylink. how would you rate his presidency when it comes to accountability? when it comes to dealing with the roger pipes of all of these contentious issues inter longer, you know, as you said, president a former president like i'm

a cigna is an establishment figure. and he took the reform of the system that he's a product of as seriously as he's taking the interview by he came to power in 2022 . he was placed that by the roger boxes. the majority votes him into power against the wishes of the protesters. who wanted to total system change because the system of which he has been a part is committed grave crimes if just produced, a report says amounting to genocide, but also then it has led to a collapse of the whole economy because these crime, the systemic. right? so he came to power, he had a golden opportunity on the back of the momentum of those protest. right? to really go for system change. and instead what he did was he put the show back on the road. let me bring in an adjective, a is a full of a presidential ongoing for a former president, brundle vicar, missing a from a member of the british and european problem. it's going to respond to my door saying that phone present. it didn't take things serious. once has to be understood . yeah. maybe he's that said all kinds of very all of democracy institutions.

that's a policy, right. and watches a lot i found in new york in unit. so when he said that he as prime minister, then all president cannot prosecute someone, even if he wants to. because i'm like, here. the prosecution is determined by the attorney general who is not a member of the cabinet. he's an independent legal official. and i remember when i went to see like, how many sites have the c d o, the simmons. so it stopped working because there was source cad or making a mistake that no one wanted to make a decision. so look, he's trying to prosecute. okay. i know, and he didn't. so let me get francis harrison is sitting next to a phone that bbc street on correspondent authors still counting the data book on the final stages of this one can symbol you are shaking your head is now just speaking that what do you make of this argument? that it's beyond the presidency to reform the system to get accountability for

crimes, to deal with corruption. both take issue 1st of all with the idea that the attorney general is independent. he's the lawyer for the government. every you and report talks about the conflict of interest that i would ask a former president wick, i'm a single why he didn't hold. go to buy a roger packs are accountable in so far as he assisted him to leave the country. people wanted him to be put on trial, and there were pending cases against him that had only been dropped because he did quad had to stay community. those cases could have been reopened. he let them escape the country, he left them come back to the country. nothing happened. let's bring them to the prison unit, responded with, especially by good about roger proxy. you become president. he leaves the country and he went to the multiplan and then he came back and you didn't do anything. let me spend more time there to either box headspace or den and come monday and t for the out. i'm full as as commodity if they had left 3 and i need to ask them to provide him to me. to marty's then he took a solid. yeah. line and flow to a single pole. when he went to single pole,

you sent the letter on the do mission. yeah. not certain things properly, so we had to tell him send it back and say about 6 or do you need the vehicle same the more did you let him back in without holding them accountable. make able to come in. there is no charge against him. okay. okay. them are dictator. i mean, you said to the military, do whatever you need to do to crack down and protest is what you don't turn it into the medium. not a like said i as it pops to time to drop the parliament. need 13 to your no, no, no, no, no. the key moments in your political career. april 21st 2019 through one cause hit with a series of brutal suicide attacks on easter sunday. killing more than 260 people in, during over 500, the attackers were familiar with the militant group national to heat them up the n t j. u will prime minister at the time indian intelligence and once for a long curve, a threat. you said you personally never got that information because you a quote out of the loop. i'm not getting along with the president service center at the time you publicly apologized and acknowledge the quote, collective responsibility of the government. i wonder what about your personal

responsibility as prime minister if you're not gonna have you considered a personal apology? do you want to offer one here tonight? i always offered my apology and finished my b. and nothing more the supreme court that's clear to me. but i, i apologize as, as prime minister for these now, you know why i wonder if they knew one thing. i'm with this one, the man came from the dentist. i the abusing him and you'll see me and you'll see me. you'll see me. you'll see they need finished the wood, das son, if you'll be with us and the president, any done that safety that didn't belong a dead man's. and then he belongs to the person who gave you. he said, son, i won't accept like a certain amount to me so i can be honest with you. okay, the so, so let's, let's, let's, let's do this. let's, let's, let's do this calmly without getting excited. let me finish writing listed on the

binary about the i, as i've said about the most the most i do about this, i'm pretty much the case on i, i can also do something on the price when i, when it was surrounded by 700 people died it's spelled out funny, so let's, let's get serious question. the presidential commission of inquiry looked into the east to sunday attack. they wrote a report that says, quote, the government including president service center. i'm probably minutes to make her missing is accountable for the tragedy. and that the states failed to prevent the attacks as quote, the greatest dereliction of duty in the annals of public administration and law enforcement in this country. so i ask again, you do take any personal responsibility for quote, the greatest dereliction of the trunk and isn't that cannot do they do not the great of netflix without the need extra. that's what the reply says. i'm going, i'm not talking about the importance of being court that signed those response to the presidential commission guy. so let me say what they say to me that you want to respond to button. but i put national reconciliation before national security that i had been soft on the most lives. if it were the thing that's the ground on which

i shall be address from you, sir. so i, you want, i know the quote to the why, like i, so i'm quoting the rest of the report, the only 142 sentences i could quote you many, most of this was incumbent on the prime minister to raising parliamentary cabinets that the state is quite interested, you are having a fight with the president of the people the that is a can, you will having the policy, you know, if they say that i am being favorable to most names. and i didn't know that on a slim, i used to go to the, you know, pretty much the government, including president sarasota and the prime minister is accountable for the tragedy . that's not much, much of summing all the people dying on your, on that basis there until supreme court. and the supreme court said, picture done through lab does not diminish this at all the same supreme court you dismissed about 20 minutes ago. you said you violated the constitution. now you're like, no, no to day i've pretty reading said the bad thing on the book. and then i called the pre registered to raise the shooting show. and the thing to do the deal. all right, that bad. when the snow hiding in what they have said, okay, the president made

a dime in 2023 investigation by channel 4 here in the u. k. and whistle blow a testament linking the east of almost the former officials, loyal to go to by roger pox. a they were allegedly colluding as part of a plot. so roger pox at the when the presidential election on the back of the muslim feelings which he did 7 months later in 2019 you all did an investigation that rejected the allegations from channel for once again coming to the defense of the raja boxes. but listen to the head of the catholic church in so long cause that he said, quote, it is clear that is a mistake stream is carried out the attack, but they will all the forces behind them. we have to conclude that the run, the crew, missing of government is trying to protect the when the filing months wanted to come in to be pointed to a point that yes ac moran mostly mist. uh, how distressed eliza presidents columns, they look at the leap, and while i'm with them on the, i'm least, they really mean it's a full report. and they said that uh,

that this has not be improved. and it does the pool that the appreciated concerned was not in the suite alongside the time he was abroad. now at 5 am. nobody have any feeling the meetings that has the melody. let me finish up. i am dealing report, this call that catholic bishops confidence all these have been given to them. they have not come in any other company in my role to get. i would definitely try. i failed to know this is what the parking lot said in regard to the sink. why do you not do anything at the head of the conference of bishops? bishop harold anthony perez. yes. so he says he wants to independently. yeah, sorry. and the supports cardinal malcolm run to the head of the church. yes. who says that you did not take request seriously for an independent investigation and what your commission, he says quote, he told i'll just era, it's not was even the papers written on the commission. you did this is the catholic church in your country timing stuff. can i do appreciate i've had it for you? had been speaking to me all that i i guess at least i know that we know the politics

of the catholic church. that's politics of the catholic church. they like hundreds of people in suicide attacks and your baby know exactly to places i'm returning a game to body. you know, your brain will feel head. and this one is i have pointed up on me, the regional on the, on the committee was not worth the paper. it was written off the head of the catholic church, all country in all nonsense, east albino got the, the wrong, the head of the company. so just to getting on some steps, i just wanna be clear. a massive terrorist attack happens on yours 5, minnesota. hundreds of catholics died. the catholic church that you failed as a new dismissed them on some debt. they have accepted the fact that when i go about that, saying that the committee that i find that they, i don't willing to accept the findings of that committee. yes. and then said that all the forces behind me to tax and your trying to protect those. i, i do have the timing of a certain amount of the county judge kept telling him to the captain to get i have not got the least the beginning. and i going to be the majority of the people in the country, 53 percent of for lincoln site. they believe local politicians were involved in the

attacks. i a point that that me the at the request of body months. no, any finding one does object said he's off for the volleyball inter decided with the deck same the report on. okay, but it's not from the pod you meant the the, the 130. so for the victims of the terrace to go to 3, i will take a break. you have the power to we will go to outpatient audience. here in london is con. we'll, we're going to talk about the full out from sir lincoln civil war. a very big topic, i'm going to go back to a panel of experts also to stick around and join us in part 2 of had to add to the nonce on al jazeera from trade was to seismic shift to us policy on garza and ukraine. president donald trump is shaking up global politics. rigorous debates, unflinching questions upfront cuts through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom on the 14th and of a 3 of the sylvian revolution. the fall of the outside regime. as i said in the new

era, as syrians rebuild their nation in a wheel and is ready to make it discovers of palestinian film archive fees from the piano in 1982. that raises important questions about palestinian identity. while the buffalo ranges on the front line, the diplomatic pursuit for peace is in crisis. however critical moments ahead. in fact, the ukraine war and the world order much on owls is era. trump's agenda includes everything from tax cuts to integration, but how much is real and how much is bluster? is iran footprint across the middle east? frank beach trump administration is waiting options to end the rest of your brain more. but what does it mean for your a quizzical look at us politics, the bottom line, the,

there's no limit to how a dream continue to study in your own event, you know, counter and things. so again, i'm fairly back to the window. hardly the headlines on how to 0 european union leaders holding emergency talks in brussels. the focus is on increasing military budgets to meet the bronx growing secuity needs. it comes as the trump administration pivots from is european allies and reset size with russia. 02070 you need is at the meeting looking to cement, to european support for ukraine. you may have a strong signal to ukraine and people to bring in were us to severe.
