why, why do, why do treat channel for westgate? good. i don't, i actually don't. uh, i enjoy a lot of good things here. so a lot of people will be good. so is this just, i mean, you know, i don't know why you don't know why. yeah, you only asking, tentative, so i'm not asking so far what i'm saying is, so there's a very just a 2nd. there's a very concrete accusation window center section of the b i. yes. because the media view that conversation, why should i do it? well, i mean, i'm all my time getting that medical session, the phone would do that. i'll see i'd be, has made documentation. why do you want to talk? you know, it's, it's really not just general for the public church on the scene for an investigation. you know, it's actually a farmer precedent under whom you served. look, i mosque, you thought you didn't ask me that when i press the one you said that uh that the want to that the follow basically enough. so you, you gave me the candidate for the book has got supported by the federal chair, and he will let me onset by on the case. please see,

please do much sleep. first me in regard to the scanner flow, i blank that committee me to a judge who was hitting the company d a from a good mind or they have force and that for very nor lawyer going through it. secondly, in regard to that, there is, nobody got believes that this commission has teeth enough to do anything other than the job is not my no, no, it's not the only the if i may, if i the not let me, it's a financial. yeah. you don't want to know you don't want to you, they cannot look know. i hope that if you're not my know, let me do the comedian as a customer, the gosh, still get speaking and i'm not asking the catholic just, i'm leaving that. there's only that. i am dealing with the bishop spot to put a stop because the net. okay, what about? so what as that, that's the pride be ships, confidence wanted all the proceedings of the publish it and i gave they're looking

for an independent invest the independent commission. that big me, well i guess because that i have 5 them cuz you don't deal with the vitamins that need to be just one furnace. i do have i know it was welcome to be just confident. sorry. hey, what's welcome to the catalytic mitchum. no, no, i didn't know. i know right to ask me this quick. well, i think the public interest in the question i could probably do to time on why. so i think it's actually the case that you have several people that have requested an international aid, independent investigation, all faster. gilan stopped all in 1000 every international incleanse. ford stop. we had to be a, we had the squad to the british parties. we had the australians, we had the indians, we had the chinese on the fucking stones. as you do realize that's this makes it look like you're being live service to the bad luck. i'm not the fuck

you 100. if they b i buys caught me. if they use up only, he's taking the ship. i mean, you're still australians, i probably use the chinese that funding. i need not see fit to be said have agency . that'd be wonderful. it's not easy. well, and the thing is, your, all the, most of the, the, not the mentioning body don't any issue. you can't have the gentleman who has a lot what the, what are the ones that you'll get? well, i mean, why is it for 3 long family issues? you'll think the no, i don't i, i don't, i actually, i do think that i think i'm glad i don't. and why are you asking that? because you have a history of commission since 2008 at least 2 today, that half essentially produced that they're going to list them for the lessons learned from is. so i can do these for the commission about the east, the blast, and that being e mail for those we have done on that on andre funds,

initiation. and so different amount of data commissions go back then. how do you have and it's, it's, it's sort of the thing you're no, no, no, no, no, don't have to do. you know, you have to let me tell the go, that's it for. if you think that the, at the time i don't, i don't know know your handbook, you draw serious. so next question. uh, as a matter of fact, i mean there is no less is a report. if that you went into more rights introlatta and got remains the small so much so that know the american congress has 12 people from across the aisle that are actually asking debate administration to boost put pressure in your government to figure out how you are going to actually curve what are of uses you have just sent out once a couple of months ago. and you truth, are we cancellation commissioned after the once i just leased it, had essentially notated no, that's it. you'll get money for all that is not in the homeland presidential commission that will send the configuration commission. need to be techniques with these countries that we have,

but it's definitely check out the conservation commission at the moment of discussions on with the 5 days plus the government. and by that talking with the best been gone, what you can actually go yourself and i'm sure you have seen the un report for less than less than a month ago. that is the new out of may i say, no, no, i'm 30, no. can i said that you wouldn't be both? i bring it to you. i hope that you don't wanna go too long. comes with it. okay, to go the only i am not accepting that you. when did you get a boat? will you commit to having a criminal investigation? i mean, the news starts in your own government that are requesting the well from the end. i believe. i mean, you have made a serious accusation. you know, what is the serious, i guess i sent that to me to him and he started on my cap. the accusations actually problem. i funny. i mean the, i don't know why. if i said that the only one that can i ask my father on, under the law, only to for you spending minutes to get like in your country. right. and any stuff or do you like both of them at the state, the magistrate can order funding,

but what do you bring the criminal investigation department to invest? certainly the community don't want to do that. okay. and there will be absolutely no question of an international of an international observers article operation new to the i see, you do have international drug in your cases, between 60100000 people, disappeared inter lanka and you still have, you know, they, i, no, no, no, that at the end, but you have to state of i think the numbers as opposed to minutes. so it's basically something stuck in the news we have, let me think. but so i was commissioned that's going into that has been going into it for awhile and i hope your day and basically they really want me to go, well, the prime minister side just being the power us times you so. so this is actually part of the human heard of the brain. it is to you was helping ties tell people like and you're helping them being bad. what can do and what do you have on this? yup. on the property, you've gone through my mind. so it would be

a saying that you have violating human rights to be on, not that very, very suffice. right? i, i disagree, can i ask you last question here. hubs. obviously you can completely agree with this, but in fact there are like a lot of people in the centers of power around the world that you actually are know reliant on that believe this to be a very serious issue. and did you believe to be sure like, let me police finish this question? believe actually 3 line katya have not delivered on accountability, not deliver, done just as what you are promising for many of these people is essentially what are you concerned that these kind of 522 will compromise? what actually, you know, need from the international community? is this a concern at all? i am working with the international community and hoping the so right. yeah, well came to get the read them. they normally are doing it. yeah. discussing everything my 40 minutes state and it's got to meet them all the time and then all of that. so what the bunker? well, the finance for this one, know you asked the question i gave her the plan you to this is not
