not guilty they were accused of failing to mitigate the 2011 disaster when the plant was hit by a tsunami causing a triple meltdown. prime minister justin trudeau apologized to time magazine published a picture of him with brown face makeup was something that i didn't think was racist at the time but now i recognize it was something racist to do and i am deeply saddened. and install the rugby world cup kicks off on friday look at patterns just to become the 1st asian country to host the sport's main if. i'm for welcome to the program. both of israel's main political leaders say they want to form a coalition government following tuesday's inconclusive election prime minister

benjamin netanyahu called on his main biocentrism any chance to join him in a coalition with mr netanyahu is right we could party i'm not. just against whose bluewater alliance is on course to win 2 more knesset sinks in the code also says he wants to build the coalition without mr netanyahu and with himself as prime minister israel's president arrives in vivid is due to start consultations on sunday. straight to jerusalem that will be joined. kremlin welcome so could you outline for us is the vision for a unity government but basically he said. statement today is an answer to. benyamin netanyahu and the taishan to start talks about a unity government he said we won the election blue and white won the elections and

there were new figures released today by the election commission giving blue and white 33 seats against $31.00 for the likud and he said so it is us who was said to terms for such. talks and he also said and that is most important of course that if such a unity government would be funded it would be under his leadership and that puts of course an end possibly to the thought that mr. netanyahu had of having maybe over taste of premiership mr netanyahu already said he was right disappointed by this response. so mr netanyahu is disappointed but could he still get on board with this idea here he and his allies. well i think that we are at the very very beginning it's a very complicated situation because it's difficult to see how both sides

will come together and bridge to bridge the gap actually because blue and white has always said throughout the campaign that they would sit with the likud but not and recruit with netanyahu because they don't want to have a prime minister who is under possible indictment of corruption charges and the korean documents hearings just 2 weeks away also we had mr gunn saying that it cannot be that someone is coming over here with a set of ideas because what happened is since yesterday mr netanyahu has met with the. smaller right wing parties and the ultra orthodox parties and he has made a kind of pact with them that they will only go together into those negotiations and mystic ons has said we want a broad and liberal government and the ultimate decision as i understand it this will come down to to the president to reuven rivlin yes he has a very important role in all of that and he called again today to all the party

does but particularly to the leaders of the 2 biggest parties you know to try to come out of the stand we also understand from statement coming out of the president's office today that he will start consultations with the party leaders already on sunday so all the party leaders will come to him and they will we commend they want to see being tasked to form the next a coalition this could take 23 days maybe more because it is a complicated situation he then has to wait for the form of the official results being released on wednesday and then you could start actually to toss the person he thinks is most suited to form disquisition government interesting days lie ahead of time to come in jerusalem thank you. now to japan where a court has acquitted 3 men who were in charge of the fukushima nuclear plant which went into meltdown after the tsunami in 2011th the former executives of the tokyo

electric power company or tepco worth facing prison sentences of up to 5 years if found guilty of professional negligence it was the only criminal trial to stem from the disaster. for the victims of the fukushima disaster thursday's verdict was a bitter disappointment a japanese court exonerated 3 former executives in the only criminal trial over the nuclear meltdown those who had hoped to see them convicted vented their frustration . we cannot understand it we are not satisfied. in these 8 and a half years so many people were forced to leave their houses. 6 forced to leave their homeland. 7 and still remain displaced and unable to decide where to live. how would you feel if your house today were taken away from you.

but this is extremely frustrating. the 3 men had been senior officials at tepco the company that run the fukushima daiichi plant the court cleared them of professional electricians finding them not guilty of causing the death of 44 patients whose health deteriorated after being evacuated from a local hospital. the tragedy was triggered 1st by an earthquake then came a tsunami finally a nuclear disaster after 3 of the plant's reaction cores melted down. hundreds of thousands fled from their homes to escape the radiation the ground and water around fukushima remain contaminated even today many homeowners aren't allowed to return to cleanup work by tepco is expected to last decades. those whose

lives have been affected continue to take to the streets an independent commission concluded the disaster was manmade and foreseeable and that it could have been avoided with better safety planning previous court rulings have ordered millions of dollars in compensation to be paid out. to plaintiffs in the criminal trial are now considering an appeal a final bid in the long search for accountability. we'll take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world to tunisia's ousted president ben ali has died in exile in saudi arabia calling to his lawyer to rule the country for more than 20 years from 1987 until he was forced out of power during the arab spring in 20 in the 83. years at least 30 people have been killed after a u.s. drone strike in eastern afghanistan the target was an islamic state hideout but the missile struck civilians in a nearby field meanwhile

prime minister justin trudeau has apologized after a picture of him wearing brown face makeup was published in time magazine the photo was taken in 2001 when mr trudeau was a teacher and attended a costume party he told reporters he was deeply sorry but the story's a bombshell in the middle of a tense canadian election year but have a habit of haunting politicians this 2001 photo of justin trudeau and bryan face is no different. clearly rocks old the canadian prime minister at pains to apologize in 2001. i was a teacher of to make sure that i attended and individuality for the thing was arabian nights i dressed up in a latin costume and put makeup on it was something that i didn't think was racist

at the time but now i recognize it was something racist to do and i am deeply saddened when a day or the scandal feel to the fire of canada's election campaign. wearing brown faces an active open market and race is just as racist in 2001 as it is in 2019 what canadians saw to see is someone with a complete lack of judgment and integrity and someone who's not fit to govern mr. trudeau launched his reelection bid last week just as reports a marriage that police are investigating claims he had corruption charges dropped against an engineering company but for someone who has made political he out of his support for multiculturalism this could be more damaging what's troubling i mean it's really it's insulting. any time we hear examples of brown face or black facing

it's really it's it's making a mockery of someone for what they live and what the relived experiences are. i think he's answer for it and he's got to answer the question why he did that perhaps more than the charge of racism this image will lead to questions of authenticity and whether justin trudeau is indeed the poster boy of liberalism that he claims to be. let's take a closer look at this with a doubly report a pizza to welcome pizza so mr trudeau in the middle of an election campaign looks like he's in trouble yeah i think that's putting it mildly in fact just before we sat down phil canadian media reported that a new video has emerged. of black faces line so we're now looking at 3 separate instances of trudeau where neither black face or brown face really this is just

like is a lot latest chapter in what appears to be an increasingly dramatic fall from grace for just introduce him remember just 4 years ago he rode into office on his rainbow of of optimism right he was being billed as the canadian obama a he had developed almost a cult following in part because of his you know his model good looks and all these photos of him doing gravity defined yoga poses and the went viral and he really became the heartthrob of people around the world you know men and women many. saw him as kind of the beginning of a new era in canadian politics because he ran of a very liberal agenda and his cap and it was the most diverse if in canadian history unlike many of his predecessor he also actively sought to make amends for canada's colonial sins and so. all of this taken together this image really stands in stark contrast to the one that's emerging now and for voters there really raising the question whether this was all just an act yeah so i suppose for

the people who really are with us you'd better outline forces the sort of the sociological history of black face because it is freighted with the what sorts of racist baggage it is and it's one specially people outside of america aren't necessarily aware of. it was really blackface really born out of racism it became a centerpiece of white american pop culture in the mid to late 1900 centuries actors would pay their face black and their lips bright red and they would perform these incredibly demeaning characters of black people essentially portraying them as subhuman so let me show you what i'm talking about here is that you may not think them and i want a man you know no limit now you don't have me. so this tradition continued well into the 20th century with stars like judy garland you're seeing right there patrolling black people is just feeble minded goal the

ball shucking and jiving jokes and it really was a way to keep black people in their place and showing them as unfit for equal treatment. you know this history has been well documented and i think it's time to bury this tradition and it didn't do it but it does still keep popping up doesn't it and this writer is absolutely right especially in the u.s. where similar scandals involving white people in power continue to come to light just last month the governor of alabama came ivy was forced to apologize after it was revealed that she had one black face in college this came after virginia governor ralph northam we'll see in a little bit was almost forced to step down after this photo emerged of. you know from his medical school yearbook that showed him in black face next to a guy in cuckoo's lambro and it's not just politicians we see right here fashionable gucci had to pull this water from his collection falling complains that it resemble blackface so it's very deeply entrenched in white culture so the gucci

ridiculousness aside you're talking about events that occurred decades ago so the question will be asked are we right is it fair to judge actions from 10203040 years ago by today's standards well it's a question that keeps popping up every time we see one of the senses says and i think especially in the case of joe who is only 47 like he was born a seventies he was not a product of the segregationist fifty's or sixty's the way that and an i.v. or northam or trudeau came of age when rodney king was beaten to a pulp by police in l.a. he knows what racism looks like when he decided to wear that brown face. in the ninety's as of the 3rd video the just a murder or especially as a 29 year old teacher we've already and of the 21st century and so to say that he didn't consider racist to me frankly sounds either ignorant or maybe even

disingenuous and so true those apology is being injuring hollo i think he's a doll thank you of the u.n. security council is being urged to vote today on resolutions calling for a ceasefire in syria's last rebel stronghold of italy rival revolution resolutions have been tabled with one version backed by germany belgium and kuwait and the 2nd supported by russia and china syrian government forces backed by russia have waged a 5 month offensive in it live where the death toll is mounting. a makeshift ambulance traveling through the northwestern syrian region of it. there are barely any ambulances left here let alone a phone network to call one. this injured man has been brought to a special clinic for people with broken bones moments later a child leaves the facility the trip home on this truck would have been unbearable without pain killers. dr sami cowboy has many patients who have been wounded by

war. he says this 3 year old was brought to his clinic with a broken leg 4 days ago after an attack by syrian government forces. the doctor says he's worried about the army's next attack as numerous hospitals in the region have been shelled in recent weeks. so it's. a series. with a small ceasefire. time but i'm sure he will move. us people continue to arrive at syrian refugee camps along the turkish border daily there are some 10000 people at this one already many say that in the south of the it liberation the assad regime is shooting both rebels and civilians alike. the camp lies directly at the turkish border crossing and pressure is mounting on

ankara to open its many are afraid of what will come. either we stay here and die or we cross into turkey and then trouble on to germany or another european country. in the center of the city of it lived there is a tense calm the radical islamic militia. more h t s for short is in control here along with large parts of the elite province. many missions have classified the h.t.s. as a terrorist organization the group previously no one is the al nasra front had links to al qaeda few people here are willing to talk to journalists those who do say they cannot accept assets rule again so. no one here wants to see the assad regime return we want to live in peace and just make a living like in every other country. there is evidence of airstrikes in parts of

the city. residents blame the government for the attacks and the death they cause. one man speaks of how he and his son were injured during a raid. his son's face is now disfigured. with just. one of them so 35 people were killed and some 280 injured half of those are now physically disabled many have left this neighborhood. he alleges that russian president vladimir putin and iranian president hassan rouhani are behind the suffering an end as both of them are assets allies. it live has been scarred by years of war and many here fear that assad's regime will not let up anytime soon. and the effects of climate change are being felt around the world but the egyptian city of alexandria has been especially hard hit rising sea

levels threaten to ringgold poor and neighborhoods and logical sites authorities are responding with emergency measures including concrete barriers at sea to hold back the tide. the threat pounds the shore every few seconds. at stake ancient citadels and archaeological finds. sandy beaches and poor neighborhoods which could be inundated by rising sea levels. for protection simple if ugly concrete blocks lifted by enormous cranes. and filled rock lifted by dinosaur like diggers. they're meant simply to buy some time and a chance to rebuild someday some of what has already been lost. they will protect the shore from any sort of erosion in order to be able in the future

to rebuild sandy shores that were lost due to a rise in sea levels over alexandria's coast. the 15th century citadel of bay is one of alexandria's gems and it's already been affected by the rising sea. but there are citadel was built on a huge rock and the last few years this rock has faced a lot of strong currents that lead to its solution and gaps have appeared to years ago water leakage through those gaps to the interior of the citadel itself this means that if we hadn't started immediately with protection procedures it would have led to the collapse of the rock under citadel it would. alexandria's more than 60 kilometers of waterfront is losing ground to erosion if the average tourist can't see it the average fisherman can't. for those who want to see levels getting

higher it's not something that we can see immediately with our eyes. but over the years it started to be noticeable to us. it was for instance the sandy beaches shrink and there's less sand. below but still not to the level that ordinary people can see. to fly so this is the image of the. ordinary environmental scientists can see it a rise in the level of the c m knock on effect of climate change. that's the starting point but actually claim it is a system to get at the system so when you talk about a change in temperature it means cheesey and the different patterns of play. this would lead to one of the impacts of climate change is the rising sea level.

fending off the effects of climate change is centuries old alexandria's burton preserving precious structures from the past using whatever means from the present it can quickly throw in mother nature's way. it's for the rugby world cup begins on friday and for the 1st time the total is being hosted in asia japan is the venue the host nation kickoff the action against russia but favorites new zealand are already stealing the limelight as the all blacks prepare to win the. title. rugby fever is gripping japan and even tokyo's most famous statue of the dog is getting in on the act organizers say the tournament is nearly a sellout half a 1000000 fans from all over the world are expected to attend. if i do my job well if you want to do it with we would be ok i was surprised to see like how much
