on the way my runs and critics alike how is the world's most powerful woman shaping her liquor joiners the macro's last ounce. this is a bit of news live from berlin an idea to get corona virus vaccines into more arms the united states says it now supports waiving patent protection for covert 19 vaccines but germany is pushing back saying this is not the solution to vaccine shortages also coming up despite fears that it could further divide society

legislation to exempt immunize people from covert 19 restrictions is set to become law in germany. england is league of football her turbulent took a giant step towards avoiding relegation when they beat freiburg 3 nil in a game that had been postponed due to a covert 19 quarantine. i am told me all that it will warm welcome to you the us is decision to support a temporary lifting of vaccine peyton's has sparked debate across the continent in question is whether sharing the exact recipes for covert 1000 vaccines can help to get more shots to much more people much faster the european union says it's open to discuss the idea but germany is voicing skepticism a government spokesperson. protecting intellectual property is essential to

supporting innovation. perhaps it's pictures like these from india that sparked a change of heart. the u.s. announced its support for raising that same patience on wednesday soon after the e.u. said that it too would be willing to talk about it. the wealthy and industrialized countries have longer posts such means that brussels may join washington in reversing cause the european union is also ready to discuss any proposal that address the crisis some months aid organizations have raised the alarm about how vaccines are being distributed with poor and middle income countries left behind. we need our governments to push the vaccine manufacturers to transfer the technology to transfer know how and to help other manufacturers around

the world scale up production but the pharmaceutical industry sees things differently they say producing vaccines is a highly complex process and that allowing the vaccines to be replicated by others could impact safety and quality what happens now is in the hands of the w.t.r. but a quick decision is unlikely. let's discuss this further with dr ammash a doctor senior scholar at the johns hopkins university center for health security he joins us from pittsburgh in the u.s. warm welcome to the program does waving vaccine patents solve the problem of getting the vaccines out. and it absolutely does not because you have to remember this waiver is a process that's going to take several months to unfold it has to be approved by member countries and is going to be something that if it does occur is going to be long after vaccine supply has likely gotten better what we need to do now is to

remove the supply chain disruptions that are going on there many countries that have export restrictions so we can't sell vaccines to some of these countries can't get vaccines to them that's what needs to happen this is sort of. a solution is in in search of a problem because what we're seeing here is an effort to undermine the the whole innovation platform for developing vaccines like the kobe vaccine itself and i think that that precedent is something that is very dangerous and needs to be needs to be stopped. is this an issue of timing for example would this have been fine in the pandemic are you saying this shouldn't have been an option at all this should have been an option at all intellectual property is basically the cornerstone for how we develop innovative products and remember them and during a vaccine they've not enforced their patent since the very beginning of their vaccination program yet there are no other companies that make them a dharna vaccine so this really isn't about to me access to vaccines because

they're being held up patents aren't the reason why the world isn't vaccinated patents are the reason why we even have kovan 1000 vaccines. we have seen you mentioned supply chain issues for example in the e.u. where they simply have not enough vaccines produced that is not just an export issue this is production so how would that problem be solved. what we really have to do is prioritize that scenes and have to develop a manufacturing base in these in countries that need to to to vaccinate their populations i think that's not necessarily intellectual property issue that's building capacity to be able to have the know how to manufacture at a rapid pace to have many factoring at a high level of quality it's not something that can be done overnight and it's not something that you can do just from having the recipe for the pfizer vaccine. views from the developing world say that they need the idea of waving the patent protection is

a step in the right direction the director of the africa centers for disease control and prevention called the decision cold and act a great act of humanity are you saying this is a misguided would you be saying this is a misc a misguided view. i do think it is a misguided view this is very short range because what many of these ideas kind of are premised on is that these vaccines are just there for the taking that they don't require effort that they don't require mental mental concentration mental these are products of people's minds that they just don't appear in if we remove those incentives if we remove the ability of companies to invest and plan and think about what how they can offset those risks because they think they're going to get revenue because of the patent protection who's going to want to innovate in this field any more who's going to want to enter into these agreements during pandemics if at the end this can be just taken away from them so i think that's that what they're not seeing they're not seeing this long range and and i think that's what

we have to really comment because if we lose the ability to innovate and have the bio pharmaceutical companies develop products that all our lives depend on we're all going to be worse off i think we can solve kovan $1000.00 without violating intellectual property rights it talking about these companies but they did receive public support they did receive government funding so it's not just that they've you know come out from their labs and had everything without extra outside support so there is the argument that they should be able to at least cede. some of what they own back to the public and especially you know the u.s. trade representative saying these are extraordinary circumstances in this pandemic calling for extraordinary measures. so when you look at the u.s. companies yes there were taxpayer funds used for advanced purchase agreements but that's not the same thing as actually having a claim to the patent and those companies that engage in operation work speed were not they were told that their intellectual property was going to be secure that this wasn't something that the u.s. was going to fail to defend if necessary and i think that that's an important point

that you cannot go back after the fact and say now we're going to to seize your intellectual property or not defend your intellectual property there may be certain certain circumstances maybe the oxford astra zeneca vaccine where there was a clear use of government funds to develop the technology that was instrumental in the patent that was used but that's not the case for every one of these vaccines and i think they need to be thought of as. on a case by case basis but in general i would say that if you're a government and you're forcing those companies to only sell to you and that's what those advance purchase agreements did because they were export restrictions in the united states then you cannot then say that that's the reason for why we are going to not defend your property rights ok ammash a dollar from the johns hopkins university center for health security thank you thank you. german lawmakers have backed the easing of restrictions for as many vaccinated people as possible as the country's vaccination program

gathers pace but the idea of loosening the rules for some does not sit not fathers does not sit well with everyone. meeting people outside with fewer restrictions traveling to they had to as i without restrictive measures liberties there will soon be possible for those who have been fully vaccinated in germany. the parliament approved legislation granting more freedom for those who have either been vaccinated against the corona virus or have recovered from a cold but 19 infection the government says is not about granting privileges but reinstating rights. but we're talking about people who have been isolated in their care homes restricted to their rooms without contact to others people who were suffering they should be allowed to enjoy their meals together in the dining hall but german seem very much divided over the issue among high and you can create too

much disparity within the population but at the same time you have to make sure that you somehow find a balanced solution. i'm in favor of giving freedom back to those who are no longer pose a risk but it would mean that people who don't get vaccinated for whatever reason are 2nd class citizens experts warn that there will be a lengthy transition phase before a large part of the population is vaccinated. concerning the contact risk trick sions in public places i wonder whether it makes sense to create such a visible social division for a certain time. i hope of course that it will only be a short transitional face. after passing germany starck the country opera house is expected to give the bill the green light the losing

restrictions for vaccinated people who have recovered from 19 could be in place as soon as next week. let's take a look now at some of the stories making headlines around the world police targeting drug traffickers raided a rio de janeiro slum at least one officer $24.00 suspects were killed men were seen on local television fleeing on to rooftops real police killed more than 5 people a day during the 1st quarter of this year according to one study. former multi-verse president mohamed nasheed was injured in a blast near his home or 30 say the 53 year old is being treated at a hospital and urged the public to stay away from the area because of the explosion is still unclear. a bottle of wine aged in space is expecting to sell is expected to sell for up to $1000000.00 the petrus

2000 is the 1st of its kind to go into orbit in an experiment testing whether wine would age differently in 0 gravity conditions now after spending nearly $140.00 days and over 180000000 miles in orbit the wind is about to go up for bidding at an auction house in britain proceeds from the sale are set to go towards agricultural research missions in space. this wine truly is out of this world station used in and through it recently returned to earth from the international space station where it spent 14 months maturing in orbit you'll be able to tell them apart. but the journey through the stars comes with an astronomical price tag so a petrus 2000 normally will cost around $7000.00 euros.

and the estimate for this piece is in the region of $1000000.00 u.s. dollars. on the line tasting was conducted to determine any extraterrestrial tannins. they were. the ones with a little young. for me the difference between the space and earth wind and it wasn't easy to define i'm not sure i got it right if i'm being honest it was difficult. for the winning bidder will also receive a bottle of the same wine that remained on earth in order to compare the galactic version with a terrestrial that is should they decide to open their one of a kind space age whining. league of football will once again in action on thursday night making up the 2nd of their 3 games that were postponed while they were in quarantine with relegation looming and against the freiburg side 7 to

finish the season in mid table simply want to get more and run all 3 as coach powell gardai knew his heritage berlin team needed to do better than the one point they got against minds in their 1st game back from quarantine freiburg christian strifes was all smiles this game essentially meaningless to them. and had to show they meant business christophe beyond check opening the scoring in the 13th minute. jordan toto not he got denied but beyond tech fired in at an impossible angle for the keeper 9 minutes later paid to pack out a double tap his lead. by. a minute i don't it's made a nifty move and put the ball right where they could head in. and then in the final minutes on each took the ball at the halfway line and was off to the races. 3 meal

for hatch i assert her solo effort from the serbia international. i. now it was done to milan as his character racked up 3 huge points and still have one more game in hand over their rivals in the relegation battle. but watching the news live from those more. such as. my 1st bicycle was a sewing machine. i come from. something as simple as many how to write a bicycle isn't. since i. wanted to have a bicycle off my. chest and. finally they gave up invented by me and i say

that 3 times because so sewing i suppose was more apropos than riding a bike as knowledge i was a. woman back home. and social rules and informed. writes my name is the about of people and i wore them. and there again support for waving patent protection on covert 19 vaccines elicit some mixed reaction in europe the e.u. says it's willing to explore a waiver but germany says it opposes the measure. also on the show small scottish firms like whiskey makers have been shaken and stirred in the aftermath of

brags that. the possibility of an independence referendum isn't going down any easier. this is the business i'm. so happy you can join us. the e.u. says it's willing to discuss a w t o proposal to temporarily suspend intellectual property rights for covert 19 vaccines a day after the us said it supported the measure within the ball cow over the picture is hardly unified germany for one says it rejects the move the proposal is meant to speed up the slow rate of global vaccinations by allowing especially developing countries to produce copies of the vaccine while much of the rich world continues to ramp up vaccination rates developing countries remain at the mercy of the virus in india thousands are dying each day from covert 19 the country desperately needs vaccines for its huge 1400000000 population. last october it

brought a proposal to the w t o along with south africa for patients rights to be temporarily suspended for pandemic related medical products such as vaccines this is a big so. it goes to show. the influence we have. as a country working together with others. the. voice and message is her weight president biden's backing gives the proposal a chance of becoming reality in theory it could lead to copycat versions of approved vaccines being unbanned to supply boosting vaccination rates all over the world. the move has prompted anger from the pharmaceutical industry. i think indeed one off focus should be on removing any barriers to collaboration that's important but that does need to weigh things like you write you need that licensing that technology transfer to ensure that you have. a free flow of materials the free flow of technology transfer and support to those local supply chains that make vaccines

happen months of negotiations could lie ahead for the w t o to agree upon a specific waiver plan but the us decision has already seen shares in vaccine makers such as play on tech and madonna fall sharply. now those falling shares aside when diana did announce its 1st ever quarterly profit in its company history our financial correspondent yan's court that joins us now and i guess it was the vaccine that made the difference from what. it's all about the covert vaccine and earnings really have been impressive a profit of $1200000000.00 a year ago actually more durned i had a loss of about $124000000.00 and if you look at revenue more than i had a year ago in there in the 1st quarter they had a revenue of $8000000.00 now it's a revenue of $1900000000.00 so a basically all of it. of $1700000000.00 to be precise comes from the

covert vaccine and well the company clearly is hoping that there will be more to come in the next couple of quarters and how is wonder not reacted to the us saying it would support waving intellectual property for covert vaccines. yeah i don't have a photographic memory therefore let me read to you what jim the head of more daring of the c o actually was saying at the earnings call he says this is a new chicken ology you cannot go hire people who know how to make a those people don't exist then they will have to go run the clinical trials get the data get the product approved and scale manufacturing this doesn't happen in 6 or 12 or 18 months we have been working at this for years so that's actually what he said on the earnings call and to also added that he doesn't believe that anything is going to change for modernity and that you did not even lose a minute of sleep that's at least what we did hear from the head off more during

our by the way for 2022 they were expecting to produce about 3000000000 doses of the vaccine the stock by the way was down anyhow for a 2nd consecutive day and even if as we all know it's out in the open what's going to happen and if the w t o really will fight a consensus on those patients. are there for us thank you very much now let's take a look at some other business stories making headlines the bank of england says 2021 will be a big year for the u.k. economy raising its growth estimate to just over 7 percent the fast this in more than 70 years but that big prediction should be taken with a grain of salt 2020 the u.k. economy saw its biggest contraction in more than 300 years. thousands of workers have blocked traffic in athens and other great cities today to mark

a rescheduled labor day the annual workers' day was moved to accommodate orthodox easter strikes this drop in flights public transport and ferries a big issue for today's marches is a government plan to shake up labor laws. the car news now earned 4800000000 euros in the last quarter one of the best it's had in its history despite a global shortage of computer ships that's hopeful the auto industry demand remains high for the company's premium brands sales of electric cars more than doubled in the quarter but still make up only 5 percent of the company's output i think w. like other german car makers is ramping up electric vehicle production the push to make more electric cars is set to hit jobs in the industry that's according to a new study by munich based here is the us president and insist we are expecting a roughly until 2030 roughly 220000 jobs will disappear.

some of that will be neutralized by a fluctuation of workers because workers retire. something like 90000 workers. will not retire so that jobs will disappear and they will need to be retrained or find other occupations so it's a major transformation scores of french of fishing vessels have headed home after a tense standoff near the british island of jersey they say they've made their point and that it's now down to politicians to find an agreement the boats have blocked the island spain harbor to protest post friends at fishing rules up to 60 french fishing vessels such a blockade jerseys port of st how yea they aim to shock the channel island with a temporary cut off from food supplies they're angry arguing authorities take too long to grant fishing licenses something humans say their livelihoods are at stake

. we've come today because we've always fished in the waters there and then overnight they take away all of our fishing rights we've had these agreements for a very long time. in paris the minister for maritime affairs had previously threatened to cut off the islands electricity jersey gets 95 percent of its electricity via underwater cables from france which is just 25 kilometers away i don't see can see on television up and regarding jersey i remind you of our delivery of electricity along underwater cables and so we have the means and even if it would be regrettable if we had to we would do it would fail the british prime minister has sent 2 warships to the channel island to patrol the area jersey isn't part of the u.k. but london's responsible for its foreign and defense policy france has also responded by sending 2 navy ships to the area as one of the 1st major post drags the disputes between france and britain over fishing rights continues to simmer and

speaking of the u.k. scots are heading to the polls today and regional elections and the vote is not only about the country's government but about its future as a member of either the united kingdom or the european union rags that has proved a tough burden for scotland our correspondent they're going to talk to whisky distiller to get his view. these barrels have to be thoroughly clean only then are they ready for the precious fiery spirit of barley and dry and then stanley distillery in scotland. in palmers always dreamed of producing his own whisky he worked in the industry for 40 years before founding in stanley in the country of 5 north of edinburgh. what worries him palmer however is braggs it when he founded a company he didn't foresee the difficulties that many scottish business owners now

have trading with the european union. are sure of frictionless trade well if this is frictionless trade i would not like to be experiencing friction trued. the bureaucratic hurdles are multi-faceted previously only one form was enough but now whisky exporters have to fill out different paperwork for each individual e.u. member if scotland declares independence from the u.k. that could create another headache for smaller companies if the change was to come very quickly. or not will be a 3rd very significant change that we would have to be able to manage our small businesses like ourselves we will need a great deal of help to get us through the. the new whisky will find its way to the france and germany export markets in the us hope the logistical problems can be

solved in time for them properly. to be bottled. and finally countries worldwide are doing what they can to win over vaccine skeptics by giving free gifts to those getting the job while in serbia the government is now offering vaccinated people discounts on their shopping serbia had started its vaccine campaign strong even offering jobs to foreigners but recently the push has stalled government officials to offer a voucher worth 25 euros to anyone who gets the shot by the end of may and expanding vaccine centers to malls like this one. and a reminder of the top story this hour. the u.s. says it will back up proposal before the w t o 2 temporarily suspend intellectual property rights for 19 vaccines that you says

it's ready to discuss the proposal the effort is vaccinations around the globe but it's angered the pharmaceutical industry. that for me and the d.w. business team for more on these and other business stories visit us online dot com slash there's a list for also on social media thank you so much for watching. entered the conflict zone the government knows sri lanka has been strongly criticized the un human rights council which wound them into curating situation in the country and the increase marginalize ation of minorities my guest this week is just now column a year secretary just 3 lanka's foreign ministry physically johnson is dumb enough

to take the criticism seriously i'm still something about the conflict zone. next on t.w. . to the point of strong opinions clear positions of international perspective such. a number of museums here in germany have large collections of songwriter african ox but the government here is now talking about returning at least some both the priceless treasures to africa so why has it taken so long to find out on to the post trauma to the point is an incident. in 60 minutes on t w. the little guys this is the 77 percent of the platform for africa's youth to baby shoes and share ideas. you know hardest so i doubt we're not afraid

to touch and delicate topic africa's population is moving fast. and young people clearly have the solution for the future. is 77 percent now. on d.w.m. . ons people see all these things well than you don't know that you probably. in a country where child killers are get presidential pardons been given little apartment anyone who's doing something wrong the government of sri lanka has been strongly criticized of the un human rights council which warns of a deteriorating situation in the country the erosion of judicial independence and the increased marginalization of minorities my guest this week is john

a column by the secretary to sri lanka's foreign ministry is there any chance at all that his government will take the criticism seriously and finally do something about them. jai and off colombia gave welcome to conflict zone in the last few days the un human rights council passed a landmark resolution highlighting your government's failure to ensure accountability for human rights violations and mandating un investigators to collect and preserve data that can be used in future judicial proceedings they did that mr secretary because of your abject failure to do it for yourselves and because of the worsening human rights climate in your country aren't you ashamed of

that well let me say the world war ended 78 years later earlier and we still he see that received will effects on the environment on the physical things and the good friday agreement was in 1998 and that a 116 was called peace was not we're not talking about is not over all and mr secretary i was talking about we're talking about sri lanka and your failure to ensure accountability for human rights violations which you've already illinois in which you have denied in other interviews. no we had a war for one more one generation and it takes time to heal completely war and it was a device spitting war it was a brutal war right and we finished the war in 2009 and between 2009 and 201592 percent of the land occupied by the military were released 295000 people who were used as

a human shield but we integrated and reset the into the community well i understand i understand all that mr secretary but your your foreign minister has already denied the accusations of serious human rights violations you put up the inevitable barriers of denials and accusations of western bias to really think that the rest of the world is so stupid that they're going to immediately accept those denials in the face of overwhelming documented evidence of your current human rights abuses i'm not talking about those just in the past i'm talking about continuing human rights abuses in your country in him there are these documents can we have a look at these documents that you are referring to the u.n. has said about are you the u.n. has sent back to you numerous times you read them in the in the resolution of the human rights council so it's

a little strange for you to pretend that you haven't seen them. well we have seen this document prepared by the human rights commission now that's ok but you know there had been 5 i mean from 201220132 those and 14 and now 2 of those went to 21 so every time this government comes to power they said resolution from the united nations human rights council right is that fair i did we had to ask that the human breakup council then that is fair it likely child should be held to a country or actions isn't it mr secretary i don't know your far as minister your foreign minister called the accusations force and complained about the resolution was politically motivated but more than 40 countries co-sponsored this resolution 22 voted for it 14 abstained only 11 against your rapidly losing international support and credibility and the votes prove it in who are these 40 countries or if i countries are in your wrong right then outside the europeans canada and america

england malawi and solomon marshall islands so $35.00 countries got together and make this an unsubstantiated accusations allegation so this is nothing to do with the human race in sri lanka also there so that automatically so they're automatically wrong even your good friend india who you loved it incessantly to vote against the resolution they abstained they were buying your denials either were they. but look at mark the statement made by the indian permanent representative in the beginning they said this kind of country specific resolutions are wrong and then they said they abstain that is their policy that yes a your kind that you want to that will support you the real question from all this mr secretary is do you want to be taken seriously on the international stage or just dismissed as one more serial human rights abuse or protected by a small gang of other abusers we want to be taken very seriously in the

international community and nor are the country or entity is more interested than sri lanka to find a lasting solution to the residue of the shoes that we have in sri lanka because we are a small country small population and the harmony and peace is of critically important for us more than anyone else but it has to evolve within us no one can force a conciliation yet lets you say you want to hear wounds and you want reconciliation but let's take the un's charge of you marginalizing minorities one of the worst examples has been your instruction to cremate the bodies of covert victims something that you knew would be deeply hurtful to your muslim community and other minorities you've now retracted this order but you claimed in a recent interview that you simply followed the science and the world health organization had originally instructed all covert bodies should be cremated that

statement of yours was completely untrue wasn't it they never said anything of the kind. well if you look at the world health organization in need there said cremation of all korean bodies it is they are of course they haven't they know they didn't mr secretary they did not get what one state what date was that when they could have that out but i will come back to you on this and then lead grounded change that to katie the burial is permitted and now that question is behind us team we have buried $69.00 eyes only one is change the subject but you told us you made a statement that was greatly false since march last year the w.h.o. made it clear that the burial of covert victims was perfectly acceptable its statement called it a common myth that persons who have died of communicable disease should be cremated but this is not true cremation is a matter of cultural choice and available resources to date and there is no evidence of persons having become infected from exposure to the bodies of covert

900 victims that was march 20th last year but you ignored all that and your government kept on ordering the cremation of covert victims despite knowing that this would cause untold pain and distress so your excuse for the world health organization said this falls apart it just simply doesn't conform to the facts mr secretary well it was never a political decision it was always a health and science decision only thing years we'd get fight against the decision to change that but it took some time and we do understand that past not the best thing to do we didn't hurt the sentiments of a population our community in sri lanka that is not the best thing we could do yes we do understand i'm not arguing against them but now we have corrected it and we have moved on 69 bodies have already been buried and now it's behind us we took time to. talking of marginalizing minorities it turns out that your own president

has indulged in some pretty inflammatory rhetoric over the last year hasn't it on november the 18th he talked about legitimate fears that the sinhala race religion national resources and their heritage would be threatened with destruction in the face of various local and foreign forces and ideologues that support separatism extremism and terrorism this was a clear dog whistle to his supporters to be on their guard against muslims and other minorities wasn't this wasn't a call for national unity he was blatantly pressing the fear button knowing full well that it would stop the kind of discrimination and disharmony that you claim to be fighting. team you wait and see there is a lot of evidence surfacing regarding the easter bombing is demanding was the single most devastating act of terrorism which took place in this country nearly 270 christiane's foreigners and 3 hotels and 3 churches were bombed by the

extremists you wait and see the 19 that was 2019 and everybody everybody admits there's no argument there that this was a terrible attack i'm talking about what your president said november the 18th last year stoking the fires of communal hatred as i said this wasn't a bell for the national unity he was pressing the fear button telling people to be afraid of the minorities quite clear from what he said. being in the same state mon i fail remember right he made it very clear that he is the president for all communities all people in this country although he was elected by the single of majority so you take one portion of that and argue but i can argue back it is not what the president meant president has been very focused on maintaining harmony but on the back of the elections what are the said mr secretary whether or not as many

said it's what he said it's exactly what he said he said i am the president and i'm the president for all people of this country so there was not an occasion in that i was a college roommate for probably what it was contradicted by what he said about national resources and heritage sent her heritage will be threatened with destruction but. it's been present for the last 5600 years from time to time yes it does mean yellow not even more and more fearful of minorities let's lower your quality let's look at your anti terrorism regulations which of so upset the un and human rights groups the international commission of jurists has consistently called for the repeal of this act which has been used it says to arbitrarily detained suspects for months and often years without charge or trial why do you keep such repressive laws in place. team from 2015 to 2019 there was

a discussion of a counter-terrorism bill the unity government which was formed by coalition of the main 2 political parties with the support of e.u. with the support of the u.s. and other countries draft and the counterterrorism proposal that is the new act but they could not just do it right so there are issues in our p.t.a. we do accept that we need to revisit our p.d. if we do i said that this long term and i mean you sending your time on on revisiting it you said that sri lanka has a very democratic regime no repression whatsoever these are your words but your anti terrorist laws make a nonsense of that what place does arbitrary detention without charge or trial have in a democratic country if that's what you are that's what you claim to be this is why i said we need to revisit the prevention of terrorism act and we need to draw

lessons from the best practices internationally and we are going to do that be love internally while your passing your passing new repressive legislation march the 12th this year your so called the radicalization regulations these allow for arbitrary administrative detention of people for up to 2 years without trial this is a whole mark of repression arbitrary detention without trial you say you're working on it you keep passing new regulations that are just as repressive as the old ones . well imagine the situation if we did not have the pedia after the 19001000 is the bombing we would not have been able to do anything in this country it would have been a chaos maybe somebody wanted our country to make our chaotic so i am seeing the p.d. here is in the in the topic of discussion and we are determined to revisit and we are determined to amend and also the long term detainees we need to find

a solution to that we do agree that it is wrong to keep someone for a very long period president already given that it is for the attorney general to find a solution to this meanwhile these regulations are in blatant violation of your international legal obligations and they violate article 13 of the saree lankan constitution do you know what that article says. well i don't have a copy right now but what it says if i remind you is that it guarantees freedom from arbitrary arrest detention and punishment so you're wrecking your own constitution with these new regulations which you claim about him because. he doesn't come here in the beginning i requested you please vet for another few weeks and you will come out i mean we are in this to get 1st will come out with the real picture and then the whole world will agree what has gone underneath we have only

seen the tip of the iceberg under is the bombing but there is a whole heap of things this has happened before that and it is happening even now so things will come out in due course and just. see but there are even new legislation introduced to the country for the protection of human dignity or the source of the harmony theme of yours that would that would that would make a change wouldn't because that's look at you know the way you've been handling trials and commissions the main reason the human rights council voted against you was that you've disrupted and impeded efforts to bring justice and accountability for all sides in the civil war that's the u.n. saying that they accuse you of him in trenching impunity for grave human rights violations and abuses by all sides this is not one of the hallmarks of your state isn't it well it has nothing to do.
