asks questions has risks or reprisals. we've got bomb threats i have surveillance outside my home i've had people you know coming into the garden banging on the windows anyone who would dare to criticize you edith ortiz could face arrest could be disappeared. you know the situation there in terms of respect for basic rights respect for the right to free expression free association recently absolutely. latif as lawyers have filed a complaint with the united nations in the hopes that it will help free her. if the teacher is alive and we can get around the magnitude of this rice in the whole of the middle east he's groundbreaking. changes about le t. for was aiming for she wanted to flee to torture and control of her country especially when it comes to women's rights and basic freedoms. that report from

date of these paula you still beaches she's with us now to tell us more hi paula thanks for joining us you followed the story closely a lot of people might think this is a princess who might have a privileged life what was it that made her attempt to flee well most importantly she wanted to live a life of her own not restricted by her father and his conservative rules we spoke to her lawyer who said that she couldn't for example just go out with side lay under discards alone she was always shopper and and this is something that we take for granted while this isn't uncommon in these countries to have such security measures for prince this is what's made latif as life really unbearable within the family is this is what she saw happen to her sister so her sister broke these rules that were put there by her father she tried to escape and then she was jailed and she was tortured for that for that so far really saw the true face of her father and she wanted to live somewhere else so that's what she tried to do how are you

able to confirm that the details of this story about latika are true so we have the witness reports from the people that i spoke to they showed us the messages from latif from the time when she was on the boat and also the g.p.s. data from the boat which we verified and corresponds to their story and also what latif i spoke about in her video she talked about her experiences in the past about the church or in the past so it also gives credibility to the most recent events where do things stand with the teeth and now is there any hope that she will be freed well her friends have real concerns about her well being since no one has seen of her they think she's probably locked up somewhere in dubai heavily medicated obviously without any access to the outside world but that being said there is still hope her friends would be doing what they're doing right now if they had lost all hope so they are they have been talking to the u.n. this is an organization that has been successful in pressuring the u.a.e. to release their detainees. before so there certainly is hope you mentioned her

sister she so this has happened before yes exactly even though these cases don't always involve the royal family members such disappearances of government critics in the u.a.e. are quite common as human rights watch has reported on such cases so and what is most concerning is that usually these people who are detained they don't stand a chance for a trial or a fair fair trial at least and this is actually a violation of several international treaties. paula you still reach i thank you very much for keeping track of that story for us let's catch up now on some other stories making news around the world south korea's former president lee myung bak has arrived at court in seoul for the first hearing in his corruption trial least dense accused of receiving a total of ten million u.s. dollars in bribes while in office between two thousand and eight and two thousand and thirteen he denies any wrongdoing. accordant india has halted the expansion of

a copper smelting plant a day after protests against it turned violent at least eleven people were killed when police fired on demonstrators demanding the closure of the site in the melodic in the south activists and residents say the plant poses a health risk to the pollution officials. venezuela has expelled top u.s. diplomats as tensions rise between the two countries the american charge d'affaires todd robinson and his deputy must leave the country after venezuelan president nicolas maduro accused them of conspiring to sabotage the recent presidential election washington has refused to recognize my little victory in the moment one of america's greatest modern writers philip roth has died he was eighty five years old roth push boundaries with his fearless explorations of sex death and assimilation the lauded author won every major u.s. literary award including the pulitzer prize. reclusive and often reluctant to give

interviews philip roth was known for his provocative and uncompromising novels about the american jewish experience there's a certain odessa to writing books without the audacity of can't write the books and perhaps there's even a certain recklessness in writing books. i think the society i live in can live with my recklessness which is that is rob who is the author of more than thirty novels and short story collections spanning seven decades is a work frequently blurred the lines between fiction and memoir and drew on his experience growing up in a jewish family in new jersey many of his protagonists birth finlay veiled fergusons of himself might have strong as addresses a life of men and i think my subject has been that. what what what is that what is what it what is the life of a man in my time roth was one of the most highly honored figures in american literature but for him

a claim and controversy were inseparable he insisted writing should expose and not sanitize the human experience and we can speak to david bronner a professor of contemporary literature at the university of reading and the author of a book on philip roth david thank you for joining us a philip roth was considered a literary giant what made him so successful. well as you said in your report there he had a career spanning more than half a century and over that time he continually reinvented himself as a novelist in sometimes quite strong showing in unexpected ways but maintaining a very homely standard of work so he began really is a writer who explored questions of jewish ethnicity male sexuality and so on but he later on in his career began to explore american history and politics and what one might think was much more universal human questions of

mortality and so on. what was so i'm conventional about his style of writing well he was he was a fearless right he he tackled a lot of to boo subjects so who got in his early work in particular he wrote very frankly and explicitly sometimes about sexuality about masturbation particularly famously or infamously important as complaint. he his sexual politics were often a matter of fierce debate he was often criticised by feminists but i would say if you look at his work alongside some of his famous contemporaries such as polo opdyke all male he was actually rather more nuanced in his representation of women . and he's been given credit for what

a bunch of prizes but the biggest one eluded him didn't it. it did yes and i think that that's always going to be a bit of a scandal perhaps a blemish only on the swedish academy it became a bit of a running joke really i think. i think i think pretty much everyone agreed apart from the academy could now perhaps dissolve themselves this year i think pretty much everyone apart from them agreed that really should have won the award he deserved it for as it was an incredibly powerful body of work sustained and a remarkably high level for for over fifty years and david what do you think the legacy is that he's left behind for writers today. huge legacy i mean although most of his writings in the twentieth century he carried on writing in the early part of the twenty first century he's been rediscovered all the time he's a he's

a real influence on the younger generation of writers writes like he's eighty smith for example and he's relevance today is clear so recently a lot of people in rediscovering his novel the plot against america in two thousand and four in which both imagined this alternative history in which became president rolf and roosevelt in one nine hundred forty and and one of the slogans in the novel is america first and so you know in the likes of recent political events in america. that novel has taken on an extraordinary resonance professor david broder speaking to us from the university of reading thank you very much. now a group of foreign journalists are on their way to north korea's remote nuclear test site ahead of the planned dismantling of the facility among them a team of south korean reporters after the two koreas resolved a diplomatic spat over their attendance reporters boarded buses in the north korean city of one sand from where it will take them around twenty hours to reach the

nuclear site pyongyang is portraying the dismantling as a goodwill gesture ahead of its planned a summit with the united states. the white house on a guard strutting their stuff on tuesday but will they get to attend the plan's june summit in singapore between the u.s. president or north korea's leader concerns it might not happen tops the agenda when donald trump hosted his south korean counterpart in the two discussed efforts to convince pyongyang to denuclearize and accept a lasting peace deal but the north has reacted angrily to u.s. demands in recent weeks. it refuses to completely dismantle its nuclear program with kim jong un saying he needs it to guarantee his political longevity. and we'll see what happens there are certain conditions that we want and i think we'll get those conditions and if we don't we don't have the meeting and frankly it has a chance to be a great great meeting for north korea and

a great meeting for the world. if it doesn't happen maybe it'll happen later maybe it will happen. if the summit is canceled this newly minted memorial could be the closest trump and kim get to each other. at the korean border tourists from the south are hopeful of a face to face meeting. where you are we can make peace without forcing came from on into a corner whichever political party or group we belong to or you know more the more good are you know how you can wanted to have city a time got heightened i certainly feel this time that's different from the past that there is a center change i shouldn't have and so i really hope it goes well that but at some point i have doubts about the result and whether kim jong un has good intentions it or not talks in young. there's no doubting optimism about the summit has hit

a road block with the historic meeting now looking a bit further off than it once was. still to come here on a spectacular show of nature's force on an island known for its tranquil beauty more fissures are opening up around mt killer way out in hawaii and now threaten and nearby power plant. but first garrett is here with business and some good news for francis the economy gas rise is one thing less to worry about for france the european commission intends to remove the country from its public spending penalty box europe's second largest economy has been under observation for piling up too much debt for the last man years france has violated the e used three percent deficit limit between two thousand and eight and two thousand and six the french president general mccraw promised to reduce the deficit through austerity measures during his election campaign. in the u.s. congress has repealed parts of the dog frank act regulating the banking business

the vast majority of financial institutions in the us will now face much lighter regulation twenty ten law named after its two chief architects was enacted by the obama administration after the financial crisis aim was to prevent another financial meltdown and future taxpayer funded bailouts of banks. the us congress voted to roll back don't funk rules is a big win for the banking industry only banks with more than two hundred fifty billion dollars in assets will be subject to the post financial crisis regulation. until now banks with more than fifty billion dollars in assets were subject to stringent rules which included higher capital requirements more protection for consumers and stress tests measuring banks' ability to survive a major economic downturn proponents say loosening restraints on banks will boost lending and spur growth critics say it could lead to the next financial crisis.

now this was a bill that passed the house with broad support from both republicans and the democrats let's go to another milan our financial correspondent who's standing by in frankfurt as you know there seems to be a broad consensus about among lawmakers in washington that the need for reform regulation outweighs the risk of a rise. well the issue here is that it doesn't make sense to apply the same set of regulations to big or systemically important banks as to smaller ones there's this provision in the bill for example that with the banks that with less than ten billion dollars in assets be free from a ban on making risky kinds of investment now those were the banks that were doing a lot of that anyway but at the same time it cost them money to have to comply to the regulations so the argument here seems to be that the smaller banks didn't cause the financial crisis and shouldn't have to bear the cost of the corrective regulation that followed it but how much credit you can we give to predictions of

another impending financial crisis. you know it's not so much of this iteration of the bill that's making people nervous it's the attitude that's driving it this is this has been an administration that has been very trigger happy when it comes to deregulation this bill does not preclude future action we may still see banks being of big banks be freed from restrictions like borrowing limits and cat and capital requirements as such people who are afraid of the financial crisis are doing so because of this rollback in resilience. in frankfurt for us thank you. hamburg is to become the first german city to introduce a diesel ban o.b.'s only a very limited one from thursday of next week old diesels that models that do not meet the so-called euro six emissions stand it will be forbidden from driving in certain sections of just two thor's this last year dozens of german cities were

found to have exceeded emissions limits several other german cities in similar bans one way to reduce emissions is to get people out of their personal calls and into public transport and ideally that should run on electricity to one pole is company at the forefront of the shift towards green up public transport. here in the polish city of poznan heavy traffic and poor air quality are part of daily life that's prompted authorities to set their sights on electric mobility first stop public transport one company at the forefront of the industry is so lara's. the buses aren't necessarily one hundred percent clean whether or not they can be described as such depends on the kind of electricity that powers them still they're much greener than their diesel counterparts and many european cities have been investing in them despite their higher cost. so.

the buses have an advantage over eight cars. we know the routes how often they operate and want distances are involved. so we can plan accordingly to ensure that it operates like a diesel run password. it's certainly an efficient system but on the downside it's not very flexible and then there's the problem of charging up just as it used to be with mobile phones not all eve buses can use the same charging equipment despite those challenges there are ready to size d. buses on the roads in europe one hundred fifty of them come from the celera stuck between your pas none with the order books full and demand rising the company needs funds in order to expand that is that to develop investor. that we

need investors because innovation is expensive. right now we have a huge potential for growth we might not be perfect at what we do but we're good. customers want our busses but we don't have enough money to build as many as they need most. of the. she's looking for an investor to take over a majority stake the hope is that this will enable the company to stay ahead of bigger competitors. so they'll have appointed emery as their new head coach the spaniard replacing arsène venner after he stepped down following twenty two years in the role and we have only rushes from the sports with us and you probably weren't even alive the last time arsenal point to coach i was probably in diapers but yeah that was definitely unusual that one mr of the club so long so it's exciting times for the world of football it's a big change for arsenal so emery support appointment rather it comes as somewhat

of a surprise actually it's just last week reports that former arsenal captain mikel arteta seems certain to take over instead the london club have gone for emery's greater experience he won three europa league titles with sylvia as well as the french league and cup with persons from our last season. so what does a night emery bring yeah so he's a basket that's made a name for itself in europe over the past five years or so he's relatively young and he's obsessed with tactics so much he loves video analysis his former players even complain about that he uses it so much and he was already good in his first ten years as a head coach with smaller spanish sides such as on media but his he really made the headlines with sylvia when he won the europa league three times in a row from twenty fourteen to twenty sixteen no other club has managed to win the competition back to back like that so he brings a lot of experience but it still comes as somewhat a surprise doesn't it i mean we said that tape that was being considered for this post yeah it was hard to take over he the former arsenal captain is currently an

assistant coach at manchester city and a pep guardiola and he knows arsenal inside out so he was kind of the ideal candidate to step in but the thing about macau ted says that he doesn't have experience as a manager and they really wanted to bring someone in it seems that had more international experience and as you can see in the tweet where they announced him they said they specifically wrote head coach and not manager now the thing is emery really supposed to focus on tactics and making the players perform unlike before wenger and probably our top to would have also been really involved in the club decision making of daniel was in the role for twenty two years as we said and this club has stalled in many ways what can fans realistically expect going forward yeah a fresh start a clean slate that's kind of what the club was signalize ing by bringing in emery he's a he's a new guy with no affiliation to the club his new ideas and he's supposed to make take the players to the top of the premier league again all right emily russia covering this story for us from fourth thank you very much emily now

authorities in the u.s. state of hawaii are scrambling to protect the geothermal power plant as the kill away a volcano continues to spew lava the fiery flow has entered and is now stalled on the facilities property there are fears that the lava could mix with the chemicals on site to produce hazardous gases that could prompt a mass evacuation. a spectacular show of nature's force on an island known for its tranquility and beauty more and more fishes have appeared around mount killer whale and the volcanic activity is becoming increasingly intense lava has been bubbling up and forming rivers at several kilometers in length. geologists say more is in store we're going to see increased activity potentially higher fountains more lava flows. among the risks people face here also flying rocks. oh see what i mean donna muller and her

family have decided to leave it's just too dangerous i it shows me the power of god the power of our. love is also pouring into the pacific ocean setting off a chemical reaction and sending plumes of steam into the sky laced with hydrochloric acid and particles of glass about very bad belongings of skin and eyes . a number of roads are blocked including evacuation routes lava is also threatening a geothermal power plant that usually generates a quarter of the island's electricity it's had to be closed down. geologists say the volcanic activity around mt killer whale is likely to continue for several weeks longer. thank you for watching u.w. follow us on twitter for the latest our handle their act. will be back at the top the hour.
