you know it's not that he's been moved to yeah. i don't really believe it i think will happen but i hope that justice will prevail and he will be free to do as of what you can that it doesn't matter for us which prison he's and the most important thing that he's behind bars for what he has done but. they say it's one of the most severe colonies in russia maybe that's why he's been transferred here. the conditions there are such that god willing he will come on to life but he definitely won't be coming out of that healthy nothing good will happen to putin calms down he's the source of all this. oh my 1st guest tonight presented the findings of the u.n. human rights investigation into the case of a legacy of all me. that is the un special rapporteur on summary and extrajudicial killings she joins me tonight from maher say this government is good to have you on

the program you said today that russia is responsible for the attempted poisoning and murder of mr noble to be clear here do you mean that russian president vladimir putin ordered the poisoning. no i did not we did not we conducted a human rights investigation we did not to seek to identify who will in the state and all didn't killing what we did find is that on the basis of the evidence that tweet collected there is no doubt that our response to media and the state all russia is involved in the attempted killing of me still not of any when they're all not the state as all did the killing all whether it does failed to take me still have any against and keeling it some response that really t. is deeply involved what was it what evidence did you see that convinced you that

this poisoning had the signature of the russian state on it. well see more of its 1st the use of know the choke when she's a signature poison it was created by the soviet state it has been developed told by russia and to the best of international our knowledge there is no other state that currently. tools i know the choke the fact that deploys only used against me still have any is a not hold form of no that showed it is different than the one that was used in 29000 insourcing barry and that andy kids early on development around nobody showed a kind of development that he's only access seaboard to a student engine sees and therefore in piskies to russia the fact that to use an only child human need a highly qualified individual or why they will contaminate them stamped the fact

that he's done that when he was under intense and the time of the attempted killing serials by the state of russia he just doesn't know when cannot explain that d.c.i. else would not have captioned anyone else and attempting to poison him in his hotel room the fact that even senate and been targeted by the state before our including reasoning and finally of the fact that unfortunately russia as a history of targeting d.c. downs including extraterritorial me including to the use of police and all of those factors all to get their leaders to the conclusion that their responsibility of the state in ordering and implementing the killing of the attempted killing of me still meant any. easy involved because of all of this you have called her international

investigation into this case what would that look like. well what we did is are human rights inquiry weasely me to show us as a special. limitations what we are calling for is an investigation which is fully to quarterbacking wheezy agreement from russia and any investigations that will uncalled are always a fact in relation to these attempted killings and indeed that we look into individual responsibilities for the killing of so far european state and identified a number of individuals who only have sanctions. but it needs to be done at greater length only needs to be done in our opinion at an international level given the seriousness of what happened this is not just any kind of attempted killing it is an attempt of killing me using a ban probably be to chemical weapon misgovernment you know that the kremlin has

denied any participation whatsoever in the poisoning do you have any reason to believe that the kremlin that the russian president with a well this type of investigation to take place. you know if if i were to only ask what governments are prepared to do i think i will be silent to 90 percent of the time so let me just say it is incumbent upon me upon my mandate to to demand what international law demands it demands or an investigation by russia so far * russia has the refused to conduct an investigation it is denying its rest force abilities even though every single piece is already done so point to the rest of the stand tall russia under those conditions it is incumbent upon my mandate upon the the reason for which i was selected to do these jobs to demand that an

international investigation be carried out and to put under pressure on those reason influenced to make it to happen that is also a member state possibly germany and a ranch on border states as a 1st step they should really act jointly. totally human rights council to denounce went out on to denounce the use of a poet to do went on to denounce the treatment against mr member and he that must be done as a 1st step the case of alexian of all the it seems to be part of a much larger and missing force or threat if you will this is what the french foreign minister said last week at the un human rights council take a listen of you know we see that in bella ruth the democratic aspirations of a people was swept away a russian political opponent was a victim of an assassination attempt using a russian made military grade nerve agent was of

a after narrowly escaping death alexei navalny is now in prison. these regressions are accompanied by a wave of questioning of the very universality of human rights under the multilateral system that we have patiently built to defend and promote we cannot resign ourselves to this is the only thing. the work you and others do it is becoming more difficult is there is there more pushback from governments and is there more competition for the right to claim to know when to possess the truth. well you know we live in a very unstable world a different court there is a real configuration of international relations and they are symbolic act as including russia china and the united states senate fight in germany all of those are creating. back to those that are not going in the sense of

greater protection and they are going into a sense on their race fall on them and it's a ranch so who is going to control a territory is and so on and so forth so the conditions are not there. comes trees governments and non-state actors to take human rights and them drive her full foreign policy all in the photo mystique polisi so yes the environment is moral is moral if you could but what it means in that we must be more courageous we must be more organized we must be prepared to stand out even if don't know how many rarely has keeping day it's still a week recall hearing from a must terry bowlin tempted to ease life was prepared to go back to russia is now in one of the most terrible present in russia if she could do that surely surely we can stand up and we can speak out and we can ask all of our governments

that they do the same and just tell them are the u.n. special report who are on summary and extra judicial killings this column are we certainly appreciate your time in your insights tonight you're doing valuable work thank you. thank you very much. well the united states may not be done with donald trump just yet last weekend the former u.s. president hinted that he may run again in 2024 it was his 1st speech since leaving the white house and it was delivered before an audience of admirers attending these convention the conservative political action committee he didn't use washington bureau chief in his poll reports tonight from florida. it feels like sitting a time machine lending in the days when donald trump was the president of the united states i don't know conner's a co-chair of the floor we'd all federations of teenage republicans they have

a stand at the c s c pick the conservative branch of the grand old party is holding its annual meeting in orlando florida at a time when the republicans are doing some soul searching about the future we're going to situated right now we're going from the republican party lindsey graham to the republican party of president donald j. charlie we have the newcomers coming out like not it's a massive call doing a really bring a change of party some good change. yes for every party and successful fight for the young voters will be crucial for the future of the republicans generation's ear which in my current age group is very conservative because we saw the backlash of you know the millennial of being like more socialist and we feel like well there are rocks on the doshas the daughter of indian immigrants she says trump whites all she needs to be a free and successful business woman i want him to say he's running for 2024 and

make america great again because right now i don't think it's great since ronald reagan and see peg is a forum for conservative ideas a barometer to identify the few to leader of the g.o.p. this year it is all about donald trump every person i talked to didn't leave any doubt that he is the only presidential candidate they will vote for in 2024 making it very very difficult for the republican party to ignore him even so this year's event is pretty empty. and finally he's here for the last act of this year's conference. but who knows i. no. i may even decide to beat them for a 3rd time ok was.

this message is enough to keep the whole supporter i'm very excited you know so i said everything i wanted here the young republican going forward with the republican party so you know i'm excited you know that very happy to see the future the public parties and. for now the republican party seems to be going in one direction. so there are several criminal investigations being conducted with donald trump at the center depending on what happens the former u.s. president could be facing a fate similar to former french president nicolas sarkozy today sarkozy became the 1st french president in modern times to be convicted of corruption and sentenced to prison although it is unlikely sarkozy will ever spend time behind bars beyond his home we have this report. nicolas sarkozy leaves court a convicted man a spectacular fall from grace for the former president once the most powerful man

in france. the court heard how so cozy told his lawyer to offer magistrates a cushy job and exchange for information about an inquiry into his campaign finances just found him guilty of corruption and handed down a 3 year custodial sentence for prosecution such a verdict was never in doubt. so i did. it would have been impossible to have an of a decision he. promotes citizens should be reassured rivera know double standards in france and the judiciary is independent he's. in a post on instagram sarkozy's wife called the verdict unfounded and unjustified and that her husband was determined to clear his name the verdict is a blow to sarkozy's plans to relaunch his political career and it puts him on the back foot before he's jew in court again next week on separate charges that he

overspent in his failed 2012 reelection bid. but it's unlikely the former president will spend a single day in prison 2 years of his sentence was suspended and the church said sarkozy could spend for remaining year home wearing an l it 20 tag. well i'm joined now by nick hewlett he's head of french studies at the university of warwick in the u.k. he's written numerous books on politics in france including a biography of the former president in titled the sarkozy phenomenon naked good to have you on the program how does today's how does today's conviction and prison sentence how do they fit into the sarkozy phenomenon. i should just correct you the former head of french that is america's professor ok julian. you know i was asking you how does today's conviction and the prison sentence how

does that fit into what you have called these who's even nominal. well not suckers he has always been a deeply controversial all the session he came to power in 2000 years elected and president of the republican 2007 and he served his term was going to be dominated by what he called a hole to a break complete break with the last didn't vote turn out like that but nevertheless this is the sort of image he wants which portray he had a very out of all private life which became a bit mixed up with the politics lead in china to hide any of it he came. to power and during his campaign he used to quote the italian marxist antonio gramsci for example which is very controversial for somebody on the rights of

french of us as he celebrated in a very swanky expensive restaurant on the show as it is a when he was elected and immediately went away on the on a young trip to celebrate a young. lent by one of his extremely rich friends so this was somebody who is always a a controversial figure and the have been various. cool cases and still cook aces pending as you are all said and so is not oh it's a got a surprising was. in court today then you go how significant is today's ruling for the person nicolas sarkozy and for the office of the french president. i think it's quite significant for both really for the person's crusie. i mean he he was

a possible center right candidate in next year's presidential elections and 22 presidents reelections although that was all to play for a course that had not by any means been ruled out it now seems rather unlikely that you know if so who is he is home wearing an alley tack to make sure he doesn't leave home or doesn't go too far from home it's pretty unlikely he's going to be a candidate for president and as i was saying he has got other cases pending against him i mean. and yet if we can move on to the the the role of the presidency itself the office of president say i mean there are precedents for this . former presidents also in the sense of right who died not too long ago he was given a 2 year suspended sentence for in the last way in the past incidentally but

nevertheless. he was a convicted of all creating fake jobs in when he was married parents this is a shock and as i say. 2 years in prison so a lot of that person's nic you unfortunately we're out of time but we appreciate your time in your insights tonight thank you. thanks very much for. some history was made at the golden globes for film and television last night which were handed out in a mostly virtual ceremony director chloe became the 1st woman of color to take best director a live audience was limited as this show was hosted in both los angeles and new york chloe shelves movie is entitled nomad and it stars frances mcdormand it also picked up the evening's top prize best movie drummer the best movie comedy

went to massage of baron cohen's 2nd. golden globes are wanted by the 87 members of the hollywood foreign press association. and that takes us to k.-j. matthews she is standing by for us in los angeles good evening to you k j let's start with this message from jane fonda that was delivered last night what was it and to whom was it directed. well you know her speech went on i would say about all 5 to 7 minutes long but you know she thanked the academy for giving her the cecil b. demille warts and then she would on to talk about all of the other great films by women of color and people of color that did not receive nominations and she talked about why it's so important to have such diverse storytelling and why these films are important and how she learned about the muslim experience about the black experience about the immigrant experience from watching these films i think her

message was really geared towards the academy members and to people in hollywood who may be dragging their feet not understanding why there's so much hub bub and controversy about the fact that the hollywood foreign press association does not have one black member so her audience and her her message was targeted i think it landed well let's take a listen to what the host of the award ceremony said last night about the hollywood foreign press association take a listen oh you know this is probably something we should've told you guys earlier everybody is understandably upset at the h s p a and their choices look a lot of flashy garbage got nominated but that happens ok that's like their thing but a number of black actors and black lead projects were overlooked and look we all know that award shows are stupid yeah they're all a scam invented by big red carpet to sell more carpet we don't know that what is even the stupid things inclusive is important and there are no black members of

the hollywood foreign press i realize it's f.p.a. maybe you guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is the backbone of a french mcdonalds but you got to change that. i mean that is definitely hitting your employer where it hurts right. yeah you know they tried to make light of a situation they knew that there was controversy any element in the room was the fact that the hollywood foreign press association had been called out for not having any black members so they did the best they could but you know the times up organization right after this award show issued a statement they basically said look there was a lot of cosmetic changes in this ceremony at 3 hour ceremony but the reality is they need to do longstanding long term changes and to be honest there wasn't very much they could do in a 3 hour telecast but acknowledge the problem and say they're going to do better what i would have liked them to do is say look we got it wrong we know we should

not have waited to 2021 to even talk about the fact that we don't have black members so going forward we would like to sit down with journalists of color and talk about a long range plans they didn't do that i would have loved to have seen that but we'll see if things change between now and the next golden globes next year if that happens he says with all of you talking about that as well t.j. matthews in los angeles as always t.j. thank you thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter news or you can follow me at brighton golf t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.
