president al from says he will handle the latest missile test by north korea the government there claims it's a new type of missile and some experts believe it could be capable of hitting the eastern seaboard of the united states. that. north korea claims it has become a nuclear power after a lot of over two months it has again fired an intercontinental ballistic missile one that flew at a much higher altitude then past launches before landing in the sea of japan. state media and the news they said the country's leader kim jong un declared with pride that now we have finally realized the great historic cause of completing the state nuclear force. young claims the new missile brings the whole u.s. mainland within its range a direct challenge to donald trump but this time the u.s.

president's reaction was more muted than in the past after meeting with his secretary of defense trump refrained from issuing threats. you know we tell you take care of it we have general emotional with us and we don't want discussion about it. it is a situation that we will handle. north korea's immediate neighbor was less restrained within minutes south korea responded by firing missiles into the sea to demonstrate its ability to strike pyongyang's launch sites the south korean president said the international community had no choice but to continue applying pressure and sanctions. you know. visit action does not only increased tension on the korean peninsula but gravely endangers the international peace and security we strongly condemn north korea's

reckless behavior. seoul has warned the situation could spiral out of control on wednesday the u.n. security council will hold an emergency meeting to discuss the situation for the very latest let's bring in jason strother covering the story for us from south korea the capital there saw jason good morning to you does north korea now have a missile that can carry a nuclear warhead to any city in america. ok we don't have the sound link there jason so i will try to get back to you later in the show jason strother there in seoul south korea we're moving on now to me and martin pope francis has held an open air mass in me in march some one hundred fifty thousand people mainly from the countries small catholic minority attended the service and. the part of call on people to embrace forgiveness and reconciliation

as our country emerges from nearly five decades of military rule on tuesday the pontiff met with the de facto leader aung saucer chee in what is both a spiritual and a demand diplomatic visit pope francis avoided discussing the persecution of the hinge of muslims which the u.n. in the u.s. have described as ethnic cleansing francis is the first pope to ever visit the country. a bus in hartogs joins us now from ragon young going for the latest on what was the mood at the mass boston. brian considering the fact that there were as you said one hundred fifty thousand people about at that at that mass on this fourth ground in yangon it was surprising why it was everything was very well organized people had been waiting for hours some even since last night before the mass actually started to get in then they

took their seats everyone had their assigned blocks where they were supposed to be and then when the pope arrived of course some people cheered but but most people think they had little flags that they were waving when he passed around in his open air car he was driving through through the crowds and and waving at the people the people force waved back and waved their flags but it wasn't a true mood i would say everything was very solemn it was it was. quiet rather but that doesn't mean that the people were unhappy to see the pope we spoke to people after the mass it ended and one lady. even had tears in her eyes saying that she was so happy that she got the chance to see the pope you have to understand that many of these people come from very very remote areas of the country ethnic areas mountainous areas in the on the on the border to to thailand to china

also to travel very far some for days to come here and to see the pope and. many of them or most of them all of them were very happy to actually finally get the chance to see him in person and up close and they were no doubt in listening very closely as well to the part of what the pope talked about during that. well mainly was talking about making peace this is a country that is facing many conflicts not only the conflict in rakhine of course and the crisis of the rohinton the plight of the ruins of people there but many conflicts there are. ethnic conflicts that have been running for many decades and for example in christian state where many of the christians are from many of the christians also that were at the mass today there is an armed conflict there that has been running for a very long time and many people. have bare wounds from from this conflict and

that's what that's what the pope talked about and talked about re conciliation and how that reconciliation was only possible that if there was forgiveness and if there was love and that people shouldn't resort to anger and to hatred and to revenge when it comes to dealing with these conflicts even though that might be a human reaction but he said to have the example of jesus christ obviously. to take that example and. to use the forgive be forgiving to the people who hurt them to overcome the wounds that they carried away from from from these many years of conflict brian. in the political discussions with the saucer she and with military leaders apparently the pontiff did not raise the issue of the road ahead why was. well it was the pope's decision not to mention the role hinge or. the thing is

before the speech yesterday and also today he didn't mention he didn't mention that there were injured he did refer very briefly to the conflict in rakhine along with other conflicts people he was praying for in those areas but he didn't mention there were hints and he was warned by various so. for him also by the cardinal here in myanmar not to use that word because it would antagonize a lot of people here this is a very sensitive issue and the fear was that it might keep in the divide between the religious groups and make that reconsider the ation that the pope is trying to help achieve and to make that more more difficult and maybe that was the reason why he chose not to use that word brian bussin heart bring us up to date on the qantas visit to me and mar thanks very much this morning boss and. we're back with our top story now the north korean missile test the latest one where with jason strother we

have that line up he's with us from seoul south korea jason we were talking about north korea now having a mess hall that can carry the tension away a nuclear warhead to any city in america is that the case does it now have this capacity. well i mean based on what we heard in the north korean broadcast this afternoon it would seem that it has the capabilities and judging by the tone that president trump general mattis as well as officials here in south korea are taking it seems that this is a missile that can reach out to tubes that no other north korean missile can before as before the u.s. based union of concerned scientists an independent think tank says that if all these numbers are true in terms of its trajectory an altitude this missile could strike as far as washington d.c. ok now a regional powers like japan and south korea have been taking defensive measures in

response what you tell us about that. right well i mean him immediately after north korea's rocket launch early this morning south korean military forces conducted its own live fire exercises they shot missiles at targets off at sea off the east coast by land sea and air according to the joint chiefs of staff here these targets where approximately the same distance as north korea's launch site so south korea is sending the message that it can handle or at least take out any of north korea's rocket launch facilities ok now it's been two months since the last missile launch by north korea what can we make of the timing of this law. well i think there had been some hope that the tough talk coming from washington over the past few months maybe scared kim jong un into holding back on its own his rocket launches but just yesterday here in seoul south korea's unification minister

said that north korea has made faster progress than anyone expected in terms of developing its nuclear weapons program and that more tests should be expected essentially so really this missile test this what looks like an i.c.b.m. shouldn't come as a surprise jason thanks so much for that from seoul south korea thank you. now for some of the other stories making the news this hour tens of thousands of travelers are stranded right now as at bali international airport airport as it stays shut for the third day running the erupting volcano at mount agong has been spewing ash and smoke more than seven thousand meters into the air there are concerns the cloud could damage aircraft. the senior saudi prince might have been a bill has been freed after more than three weeks in detention metabolise one of

dozens of royals officials and a businessman arrested in a corruption probe are ordered by the country's crown prince. bolivia's top court has struck down constitutional limits on reelection paving the way for president if former all us to run for a fourth term leftist leader took power in two thousand and six and has overseen an economic boom that lifted millions of people out of poverty but his popularity has dropped amidst corruption allegations. more than eighty african and european leaders are gathering in ivory coast to promote jobs and stability for africa's exploding population the two day summit opens as the european union increasingly sees its fate linked to africa's especially with the unprecedented migration of the last few years. i. think european capital was trying to send out some positive vibes at a number of events ahead of the summit in abidjan and at the european parliament

high ranking politicians were also trying to find solutions for better cooperation between the continents is open i want to get to the people in the past the europeans had a tendency to look to the east towards russia and china they haven't done enough in africa sure we invested and we are committed but i think we need to strengthen our strategy not just throw money at the problem may be for. by then or that. the wake up call for europe was the migration crisis more than one hundred thousand africans arrived on the shores of the e.u. this year alone and some estimate that two million more are on the move towards europe the e.u. has been working on a plan to curb the influx and will try to sell it at the summit one of the key aspects of the plan is to fight the root causes of migration in some countries like if yo pia those are political in others like nigeria the main reason is poverty the

e.u. also wants to destroy the business model of human trafficking smuggling africans to europe has become a multibillion euro industry. to keep migrants from making the dangerous trek across the mediterranean the e.u. would like to beef up so-called reception centers in the transit countries and finally the e.u. is hoping to reach agreements with the countries of origin to take back those migrants who made it to europe but were not granted asylum. many african countries want something in return mainly money and legal migration alternatives for their citizens. that was a bit new among the few notes you know we just lack the funding and we have the will to change things but this will need to. to be supported with resources our economy is mainly informal to change that we need foreign investment.

in you for the day he did business his mom it was in. european countries are we really go they have sunk a lot of development money into africa over the decades like here in chad often with no noticeable improvement but for many on the continent the blame is clearly not entirely africa's. the biggest mistake is that aid doesn't always come with conditions attached and the red carpet is being rolled out for dictators that are starving their people and corrupting elections while enjoying the respect of the european countries. to live his big. money in return for migration control most likely that will be the defining narrative in abidjan the europeans hope that this africa e.u. summit will yield tangible results. so after some of those tangible

results will be jobs and economic stability yes we've heard an report that there have been union increasingly sees its fate linked to africa's following waves of unprecedented migration most migrants from africa hoping for a better life in europe and they go to the countries they believe will give them the best chance we met a young man from guinea who is trying his luck as an entrepreneur here in germany. from guinea is struggling with german tax law he's taking a special course for refugees because he wants to start his own company he arrived in germany four years ago with nothing. when the economic situation is no good and there's no democracy in the country then you have to go where there's humanity and justice. and vets what i've done.

guinea is one of africa's poorest countries in recent years it's seen continual political unrest in state run organizations like the post office where all mommy worked employees have gone without pay although the situation has improved due to investment from china but twenty six year old a mommy doesn't want to wait until things improve back home he was studying economics in guinea before stepping onto a refugee boat that took him across the mediterranean sea now he's looking to sell german cars in guinea agencies like the el ok in berlin help young refugees as they try to become self-sufficient offering management courses and mentoring programs which we're dependent on our working relationships with other institutions especially banks because of course it's hard to get financing with this target group whose loan options are limited due to their refugee status. and mommy

suman need start up capital. it will be challenging to find even if berlin's investment bank recently established a loan program for refugees. in order for the bank to secure its investments we have to address the fact that we're dealing with people who only have a two year resident status whereas loan repayment terms are five to six years. this means we need to involve a third party a citizen to act as guarantor on the loans then we won't have any problem authorizing them. it's uncertain whether our mommies whom i will find a guarantee or he may have to go it alone provided he doesn't have to return to his homeland first. several british newspapers are reporting that there has been a preliminary agreement on the so-called break the divorce bill the e.u. says britain is it money from long term financial obligations such as investment

programs and infrastructure projects agreed before the braggs it referendum they both bill has proved a stumbling block in talks a settlement could mean that real negotiations about future relations and trade could start so. newspaper reports in the two sides have reached an agreement in principle for the u.k. to pay between forty five and fifty five billion euros in a brags that bill to the e.u. the payment has been a sticking point in the recently stalled negotiations led on the british side by briggs it minister david davis the e.u. was demanding sixty billion euros from the u.k. as a kind of tab to be settled before brags that a collection of budget commitments and pension promises expected from the u.k. as part of its even membership through twenty nineteen the e.u. has vowed not to move forward until the issue is resolved and even given a december fifteenth deadline for progress the new offer has been expected in recent days the u.k. needs to move beyond the divorce phase of talks before it can negotiate a future trade pact with the bloc a critical issue for its post bragg's an economy the possibility of leaving the

union without a deal is widely viewed as an economic worst case scenario other stumbling blocks remain in the divorce phase including the nature of the border between ireland and post break the u.k. . now here's a security check where passengers won't have to take their shoes off customs at brussels national airport now has a new tool to combat smuggling and fraud an x. ray scanner a van that can analyze the contents of a whole aircraft from the outside just by driving around it. this small van is jam packed with technology that allows you to take a close up on planes like this executive jet carrying its size and mobility make it easy for customs officers and operations at brussels airport. and this new scanner allows us to inspect the plane in detail from the outside that ensures both the quality and efficiency of checks without hindering the efficiency of the airport

operations. the new scanner used as reflected x. ray imaging to locate any smuggled product or explosives on board it used to take an hour for a plane to clear customs in brussels with seven hundred movements a day that pose problems now it only takes ten minutes. that. this is a huge priority because fraud is not good for the economy. certainly but certainly also because we've already found out by example that the funding of terrorist organizations for instance comes partly from drugs trafficking. or traffic that oracle can use gonna cost one point two million euros funded mostly by the european union's anti fraud office. u.s. president donald trump's pick for the federal reserve has suggested the central bank is likely to raise rates in december powell told the senate banking committee the case for raising rates is strong the hike is likely to bring interest rates to

between one point two five and one point five percent and it would be the fifth in two years despite being a republican policy at the u.s. central bank will continue its predecessors policy of raising interest rates gradually. also hinted at a lighter touch for regulation of the banking sector saying the current rules were already quote tough enough. sports news now is some rather unpleasant scenes from the world of wrestling it was indeed the case gary hart the boycott of israel in the world of sports has led to a new scandal this time in wrestling an iranian wrestling superstar was told by his manager to lose against russia to make a political statement out of the year twenty three world championships in poland here's why that wrestler was told to do so. this you tube video shows perhaps one of the worst examples of unsportsmanlike conduct enter the ring in alley reason to

remain in the blue jersey had a clear lead against dry love from russia. then the iranian chain and by fruiting a blue cube asked for a timeout. he had a hefty discussion with creamy who obviously got a direct order to lose. after that to remain literally stopped wrestling. the russian made one point after another and when the match lluvia raney and was the clear favorite for the title. kareem he would have had to wrestle against an israeli in the next round which is forbidden through being in athletes not to show up for the next fight would have caused a fine so greeny just lost instead. he ran sports ministry in a statement praise can reveal for supporting quote human values. let's bring in chris harrington from the sports desk to talk about this morning press morning are there any sanctions for arrest or like this for an athlete like

this who clearly throws a match well it's really up to in the reasons cases up to the united world a world wrestling because they control amateur wrestling but the bigger organizations do have sanctions like the i.o.c. the international olympic committee this happened something similar happened in the most recent olympics in two thousand and sixteen a joke who you know lost a match to an israeli a muslim zero coup and refused to shake hands the i.o.c. came out and flex their muscle and kicked him out and sent him home and condemn the actions because it goes against the ideas of fair play in things that is a force in existence of course yes with a live picture all about how competitions are about especially legs and call that very very explicitly now this is not the first time that the iranians have mix and politics right you know this is something that has been habitual when it comes to iran competing against israel as you can look back there was a karate premier league competition and won the iranian refused to compete against

an israeli he was quoted saying what is paramount of paramount importance to every iranian athlete is his beliefs so that that kind of you know. made his move a little more credible in terms of the political view but then fast forward to the two thousand and eight beijing games a swimmer iranian swimmer refused to get in the pool because he said he felt sick and said that the idea of sharing a pool with a quote jew would make him sick and he refused to compete iranian athletes have walked out in new tournaments in so on earlier this year though some have gone against the grain to iranian football players disregarded the bed decided to take the field in a soccer game against israeli team and later they were condemned by the iranian football association and another player the other who joined in was the capital of the the captain of the national team he was kicked off the team you know so there are repercussions in terms of going against the grain but there are countless examples of such actions people standing up in iran as well as as you mention

iran's not the only country briefly if you could one of the countries bring politics and sports well we can you know go back to go back to the 1980's we saw this ninety eighty and eighty four the olympics the cold war issue. more currently to fast forward right now you see a political issue happen in the united states domestically you know with the n.f.l. and president trump condemning the actions of athletes standing up for you know for their right to protest so politics in sports is an ongoing saga and it's difficult to separate the two because after all when it comes to the olympics that was the reason the olympics actually you know grew to the large games it is one day back in one nine hundred thirty six principal together not of course and of course chris thanks so much for that this morning. well colombians have marked the one year anniversary of the plane crash that claimed the lives of seventy one people including near the entire team the staff and staff of the brazilian club. now with military honors

powerful to date and pope francis has held an open air mass and buddhist majority me and mar tens of thousands turned out he called on the people there to embrace peace and reconciliation. now in most countries the rights of women are not respected especially in the political realm one example men hold three quarters of political offices worldwide there has been a slow increase as you can see here in the number of female lawmakers but globally women are still under represented in government and despite prominent exceptions like these most countries have never had a female leader on the macro has been shouts of germany for example for twelve years but her presence at the very top has. not helped increase the number of women elsewhere in the government in fact the number of female lawmakers has dropped significantly in germany since the last elections now today less than one in three representatives in the book the start of women now the numbers are far lower in the

pacific and new guinea is at the very bottom of the list women there whole only three out of one hundred eleven seats and that island nations parliament let's take a look now at sub-saharan africa where roughly a quarter of lawmakers are female interestingly in rwanda is the exception to all of these rules women hold about two thirds of the seats in the lower house there is a size number of female politicians serving in office anywhere on the planet now it's heaving gender equality is the goal of more than two hundred fifty women politicians from one hundred countries who are meeting in iceland this week the annual women's political leaders summit has been debating the best way to get more women involved in politics michelle has been talking to one of them with new zealand's former prime minister helen clark. so mr clark

you've worked on women's issues for the united nations also across the world what can the world learn from iceland iceland was the first to democratically elect a woman president maybe in the small societies it's possible to break through with a national media and. a smaller political culture than others and complex countries my own country is now in its third woman prime minister so we are proud of our record as well and we are a small country what's the biggest challenge for women to actually want to stand office of to get men to vote for women. i think the big challenge is the political parties because political parties can be the greatest champions of women's participation and rise in the systems were the greatest opponents and the truth as in many countries that's paving the way for women to take their full place so a lot of the tension really needs to go on the role of parties who they are selecting

and how they are supporting those they select so are you in favor of quota systems i think of nothing else is working you should try quotas quotas are successful and reforge in boosting the numbers of of women in politics my own country's got to thirty eight percent female in the parliament and without quotas but it was starting to get picked frustrating when we got stuck at twenty percent and then thirty percent but i see so many countries from my time in it you in deeping who didn't reduce quotas and were able to move quite quickly that's also not always a linear development in jump part and went for instance the percentage of women just dropped significantly in this newly elected parliament and so if there's one thing you could change one obstacle you could get rid of what would that be. i think it's a question of what is the political system concerned and how should it adept to who isn't sure that there are significant numbers of women. the german system with

a list system should facilitate the entry of women so it's surprising that the numbers actually drop that new zealand experience has been to the contrary but electoral systems do influence how women are represented in the single member simple majority system that say the united kingdom the us still have is not a good system for women to break through. what do women need to change women need to lean in as sheryl sandberg says they have to believe in themselves their ability to do the job to know their very bit as good as the the guy who would like it for himself and to get coalitions around them too and i will them to go forward frankly i think you very much for talking to us. thank you that was the former new zealand prime minister helen clark what did have used to for our next report takes us to one of the most dangerous places on earth plagued by gangs and drug violence the

town of san pedro sula honduras has the third highest murder rate in the world the hope or the many children who've been abandoned to the streets and that's where the charity story to lindo steps up. across an invisible border this is the stomping ground a violent youth gangs people from the safer or more well off quarters of san pedro sula do not come here on their own accord. this area is called city meaning beautiful small hill visiting reporters have to announce their arrival or they risk not making it out again. in this neighborhood courtyard a few locals take care of homeless children most of the youth here are neglected and have joined gangs despite the neighborhood support many of the children will come of age in a world of drugs and violence. she rose and be allowed to house. when the boys are sent into another quarter or that boss or not many of them survive no

. they don't know anyone there they don't know how to get out of harm's way and. in those situations. only about twenty five percent of them survive. present us with. street children in honduras number in the hundreds of thousands they have no support from their families and have few opportunities that makes them easy prey for gangs few homeless children can escape their influence unless they get placed in one of the best youth charity programs in the country. fourteen year old alex moyer is one of those lucky ones. his father left home when he was a young boy but he's been more scarred by the night a drug lord broke into his family's house. my mother jumped up and the gangster said i'll show you why i'm here. then he took

out his pistol and shot my mother in the heart i ran away to get help. at quarter to five in the morning the youth camp slowly comes to life it's time to . wash brush teeth make the beds and help prepare breakfast this is early and eight organization whose name roughly translates to human action each of the seventy boys here has daily chores. perhaps it's the structure that's the key to the project unlikely success setting boundaries for children who weren't raised with any they've been beaten banished sold to child pornography rings for one hundred euros or abandoned by parents who decided to leave for the u.s. on a moment's notice. one of the boys is an eleven year old who the fire brigade found in a trash bin when he was a baby for each of the seventy boys there's a tragic story. the fact that these youths can play football together

is something of a miracle. in the streets you're always hungry but sometimes the boss gives you a job and if you mess up you get beaten and kicked to the screen and you can't take it anymore yeah. some kids even get killed. in. an hour and a half away from san pedro sula is the alley used camp in a neighboring state school because of the quality care and extra tutoring when needed almost all are able to finish school. the best students go on to study at university. computer science is one of the courses at the foundation. the children here are being prepared for a better life. since. at first i was pretty nervous

that i might damage the computer. before now i've never used one work in rio de lis winnable with. the alice foundation with a stablished by a german entrepreneur in one thousand nine hundred four the property includes workshops classrooms living quarters and a clinic that's currently under construction almost all of it is financed through donations the boys can be trained as carpenters or car mechanics those who complete the courses are almost certain to find work. on a trip through the province the foundation's director marvin have you lopez is on his guard because the gangs are stronger in the countryside communities like these are common many people live in corrugated iron shacks without electricity or running water. lopez says the majority of the street kids come from illegal settlements

like these just like lopez himself the aid organization is based on mutual respect the views are aware that the teachers speak from experience. back at the youth camp prayers before dinner there are occasional fights and sometimes one of the boys is sent back to the streets if he stepped out of line too often but that's the exception. the last of the last year when you have the main problem is the breakdown of the family in the complete absence of state and social programs that leads to massive problems in society and on doris it's almost impossible to have a healthy childhood and i thought one of the great. alex who saw his mother shot dead enjoys playing music and making new friends he slowly getting over his fears and might marry he says he feels like he's been able to stay. life all over again. if everything goes

well you know i might even be able to study. i would really have liked my mother to have seen this and to show her that i never gave up hope she can see all of this from heaven. rescuing seventy years out of hundreds of thousands is just a drop in the ocean. but the only foundation has given these former street children a chance to become self confident happy and hopeful. well organized crime here in berlin has been the focus of politicians who are sounding the alarm about one network's growing influence extended families of arab or dominate organized crime in the german capital gang specialize in drug dealing protection rackets prostitution and theft rings and some clans have as many as a thousand fiercely loyal family members or little to fear because those families

stick together and that means the police and the courts are being stretched to their limits. this is berlin's not can district home to some of the city's large arab families. passengers i was a member of one of the notorious clans originally from lebanon on the twenty five year old former boxer collects welfare he didn't finish school police statistics say a disproportionate number of berlin's criminals are of arab descent and when the the what they all want easy money they want to get rich quick they want to drive a ferrari. with many the problem is that they just weren't good in school and didn't get very good grades. and then you start messing around because you can't find a job. she's a version of the. i was alone that's my good leader that's my

cousin. that this is you know that's father she's dangerous. she's the sister of my fiance the first of all men to follow. on ahmed hassan calls the man in the black mercedes don after don corleone of the infamous mafia boss from the movie the godfather the thirty eight year old whose real name is mohammed says he delivers male. cousin is closely related to him in two ways. as my cousin and i his father is my father's brother and he's also my sister's husband and other words my brother in law so he's my older cousin and he's also married to my sister. are the reasons why people like to marry within the family what's the

reason for doing that why do people marry within the family. that's it for me live it so that the family grows we are one thousand people by chance it's part of our tradition aside from delivering mail mohammed engages in other business activities can i ask you something yeah nice car ok thanks how do you afford it it belongs to a friend. that always the case he was like yeah that's how it is when you know you finance it through your connections with and for. and that means that means you do business and that's how you cover the cost of things. berlin's police department has a unit dedicated to uncovering the dubious dealings of arab clans but their work is far from easy. because if you freeze families have developed a certain reputation in berlin sometimes it's enough just to mention their name in some parts of town to convey

a certain power. that's done quite deliberately it's also in connection with crimes in which too often. it was one of the most spectacular heists in recent years on december twentieth two thousand and fourteen a car pulled up to caddy berlin's high end department store then at ten twenty four five men stormed through a side entrance they went straight for luxury watches by swiss watch makers relics inch apart one of the men was armed with a machete which he used to intimidate customers and security staff tear gas was sprayed into the air the group made off with fifteen watches and five pieces of jewelry with a total value of over eight hundred thousand euros in november two thousand and fifteen the first of the so-called caddy v. trials got underway. even before it started clan members tried silencing the witnesses. sometimes it's enough to mention one of these families to silence

witnesses or a more you know of at least two cases where the injured party had difficulty finding a lawyer because the lawyers were too afraid to represent them as one. having eight hundred or one thousand members strong family can be useful. the clan has made a name for itself in the car trade and when there's trouble with the competition they send out a few guys to settle the matter. with you should you have to help anyone who is a family member. it was good talking of negative consequences for the moment i was hit with a machete once you might get a call when you're home or at work and you have to get up and go it's important to be there for family but i don't think anyone wants to get knifed or shot. in the scope of this difference about about how they. nevertheless has understudies loyalty is reserved for his clan and that's the way it will stay we'll have even more incentive now as husband to his cousin. it's to the us now where

accusations of sexual harassment against army weinstein have moved on to the corridors of power in the congress so there is growing scrutiny not only of sexual harassment there but also of how difficult it is for women to make their case the picture that's emerging is of institutions where it's easy to abuse power and to keep the victims from speaking out. everything is about sex except for sex sex is about power and it's always been about power on capitol hill says reason everything here former congressional employees are now saying me too exposing the inconvenient truth that the lawmakers of the world's most powerful country also have a sexual harassment problem he said are you going to be good and i said yes he said if you're going to be good what's the point of you coming. and i said. i said well

you flirt with me. that was me not understanding that i was being groomed or being invited to a sexual relationship everson used to be a fellow at the congressional black caucus when she was approached by a congress member she does not want to name and her case is by no means unique rebecca where was just twenty two years old when she says congressman gary miller harassed he just said my god rebecca you look just amazing really stunning today would you mind twirling for me and at the time i was young i really didn't know what to do in that moment except to comply. and i was just trying to shake it off and regroup when i got a phone call from our washington office. saying congratulations rebecca lee don't know what you did but gary just called and said that you should have a bonus hundred fifty dollars immediately we didn't file a complaint but the women who do try faced challenges unique to congress so sexual

harassment attorney debra cuts. the law was designed in a way that is very skewed and protects the members to the disadvantage of complainants so it's a very stack's system if you have been sexually harassed you first report the incident to the office of compliance then the one who arrest not the perpetrator goes through a mandatory counseling period of thirty days which requires signing a confidentiality agreement if you go to mediation that's at least another thirty days then a mandatory cooling off period follows before you can finally file a lawsuit or request a hearing that means the entire process of complaining takes at least ninety days and think about the victim of sexual harassment being in these small congressional offices having to see their member every day and knowing that they really have no legal recourse the unique system on capitol hill creates an environment in which congressman can easily get away with sexual harassment i didn't have the tools or

the capacity complain i would've been fired it was just simple as that and congressional in terms of fellows like everson do not even have the right to go through an already convoluted process of complaining congress is slowly grappling with sexual harassment within its own ranks and has agreed that mandatory training is now necessary but changing its culture of abuse power and sexual misconduct it will take far longer as it likely will nationwide to. willes to geneva now and syrian government negotiators are expected to join un brokered peace talks in geneva later today but damascus is saying it will not tolerate any discussion of removing president bashar al assad from power now the government had initially refused to confirm it would attend those talks which began tuesday given the rebel opposition were maintaining their hardline stance on the president's removal meanwhile chief un syria envoy stephanie mistura says that the government had

agreed to a russian backed cease fire in eastern near damascus there's been fierce fighting in the last rebel stronghold near the capital in recent days the un's world food program has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe there with people being forced to eat whatever they can including garbage. well joining me now in syria to discuss this is analyst khaled always from the german institute of international and security affairs good morning thanks for being with us today we have the surprise announcement that the syrian government is sending negotiators to geneva what are you expecting the syrian government to look for at these talks. are not suited surprised i mean the seating it is g.m. has always used it's a master of deception and master of delaying tactics it agrees to everything hold

on wait until circumstances changes is favored then it just ignores whatever it had agreed on and we have seen this for example in the thought of agreement that in the in the civil war we ceded troops who are supposed to stay in to leave lebanon and they just stayed for fifteen years or so so i mean what to expect more of the same . what you have seen in previous negotiations except that the. opposition regime has been the worst to get it if you like in a way because of the national pressure because of exactly because of russian pressure the opposition regime has been forced to take on negotiators who are really not opposition what really more or less pro assad imagine i don't know imagine now you are talking about eastern author imagine the jews in warsaw having to accept nazi sympathizers in the delegation that will negotiate with the nods in good does that mean that the people back home that the opposition to go seeders or

nominally representing will accept any of the decisions coming out from geneva. now a gap is developing i think between what you had before which is a seat in revolt against. clan that has been eroding the sectarian clan that have been ruling syria for the past five decades and what you have in geneva which is a very let's say. very dover. opposition. negotiating do you think the opposition goes years going to accept and that assad stays in power nothing is silly because it would have to have an eye on on. on on on the back home and they don't want to be killed or resonated by by if they ever go back to syria and face popular. in particular. but if you look at the dictation that but it's going to say that you would they have what they have made.

public lately in saudi arabia and that again on that question pressure at the end under the pressure assad comes very late and that the and i'd like to pick up on the russian pressure is russia now there preeminent power deciding the future in syria yeah of course for the photo i know it's been it's been the field has been left open for itself but again as you saw the russian tactic is hit hard attack destroy carpet bomb make the people need to submission then one step once the steps forward one step backward exactly always from the german institute for international security affairs thanks so much for thomas this morning. miner now of our top stories out this hour u.s. president has reacted to the latest north korean missile launch saying we will handle it intercontinental ballistic missiles thought to be north korea's most powerful to date. pope francis has held an open air mass and buddhist majority of
