9:06 am
the un report demands me and marse top generals be investigated for crimes against humanity it also accuses miss she of turning a blind eye to it all but that's all right because the nobel committee says it's only concerned with what happened in the past. it's important to remember it's a noble prize whether in physics or literature or peace is awarded for some prize worth the effort or achievement of the past i'm certain he won the nobel prize for peace for who fight for democracy and freedom up until ninety ninety one the year she was awarded the prize well if we're to believe the committee only cares about
9:07 am
recipients past they're going to have some explaining to do here. yasser arafat received the peace prize for brokering a middle east accord securing palestinian rule in gaza and the west bank the same time he was the chair of the palestinian liberation. organization responsible for violence against israeli civilians who they consider to be part of an illegal occupation arafat did renounce the violence before receiving the award but how about another nobel peace prize laureate henry kissinger. kissinger received the prize for negotiating a cease fire in the vietnam war he was set to share the nomination with north vietnamese diplomat late dr except the vietnamese responded with a big no thank you and to no one's amazement that's because kissinger had been

secretly bombing cambodia throughout the nineteen seventies as disclosed in a pentagon report he approved almost four thousand bombing raids in just the first two years of the campaign. and last but not least as barack obama many were left puzzled as to what obama had exactly done to receive his peace prize but just like the others the nobel committee said it had something to do with his past. only very rarely as a person to the same extent as obama captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future we are not awarding the prize for what may happen in the future but for what he has done in the previous year we hope this will enhance what he is trying to do what exactly obama did in that previous year is a mystery to most people. but the president makes fresh revelations of surface
9:09 am
that could potentially shed light on the mysterious murder of three russian journalists in the central african republic at the end of july with signs that the perilous trip was severely mismanaged the journalists were looking into the alleged presence of russian most recently country russian tycoon a vocal critic of president putin sponsored their investigation reporters were found dead in a bullet riddled. in a remote location now the speculation in the mainstream media that the killings were politically motivated that with claims being cycled round the kremlin is somehow connected to alleged military contract is there and called a koskinen says the journalists were killed because of the nature of their investigation do you have any reason to believe that these men were killed because of the work they were doing. yes i think exactly that. however screenshots of text messages between the team organizing the trip and the slain journalist which have recently surfaced indicate serious mismanagement of
9:10 am
true that's prompted khodorkovsky to hold his support for the investigative journalist group they're working for jacqueline who could discuss the revelations in more detail with correspondent. the group chat featured the three members of the curve and also their boss back at the h.q. plus a couple of producers at probe is of course far from being over but the screen shots allow us to trace the preparations that were actually being undertaken for working in one of the most dangerous countries in africa and also the crew and their people kept using that very same group chat as their means of communication when the trip began and just have a look at some of these elements of the preparations we've got a pretty small press cards in english and also a un sign for the car. make sure you film how you get rid of the press cards do it in a creative way and with commentry so apparently according to these messages from
9:11 am
their h.q. faking u.n. credentials was part of their plan yes and by the way the group or later claimed that they were working in the central african republic in coordination with the united nations however eventually the un said that they knew nothing of it so again the plan suggested that the group could use their freshly printed press cards at one stage of the travel and then burn them out another we don't know the purpose of that well they knew that they were about to break the law by entering the country on tourist visas but as a journalist on active duty without any accreditation you might argue that most of the central african republic is lawless land so your logical assumption would be that they must have had a go to person on the ground then definitely
9:12 am
a proper translator and for sure a carefully thought through plan and reality though when they arrived in the country they didn't even have the phone number of their fixer he didn't show up at the airport and they were never able to get in touch with the men at the end of the day they didn't have a proper i'd temporary and so issues started piling up one after another upon arrival and here's some of the other parts of the messages that the crew sent in the group shot guys when the bit of logistical disaster we just can't seem to get through to the locals took knowledge is absolutely alien to them there's a feeling of total helplessness when it comes to language basically no one speaks english the journalists mission and the ca are obviously meant that they were supposed to sneak through some heavy security and have a look at what the cameraman texted and the group chat after one of their failed attempts to do just that we couldn't get in they said it's only possible with
9:13 am
a permit from the defense ministry plus two cops met us with all our equipment by the hotel we had to bribe them. then we were stopped at a checkpoint and other bribe but a smaller one the locals the cameras as a negative unfriendly thing and what kind of directions did their bosses give them at that point they were told to keep going the group was losing money on bribes they were never even able to get and touch with their all the english speaking guide however when everything seemingly went out of control messages from age you kept urging them to stay on track to go there by yourself you paid a lot of money to get to this country you shouldn't give a about any permit we need a translator to find him when he's held from being the new it's impossible to storm into the security retore and i'm not sure we have to go to the ministry and be
9:14 am
tough with the bribes next time what rules did you violate tell them you're going to go to the embassy except for this group chat clearly points at the fact that there were real security issues that the crew was facing before their tragic death . the u.s. says it's shifting its focus from fighting terrorism to enter an arms race with other major world powers but the question is is it playing catch up or going into overdrive to boost its arms industry. great power competition not terrorism is now the primary focus of u.s. national security strategy is that for our time.
9:15 am
you mentioned the navy for example that we have fewer ships that we did in one nine hundred sixty well governor we also have a few horses and bayonets but nature of our military has changed. the world changed right russia and china appear competitors and we have to think about our defense different ways and we have in the past when you look at the three major superpowers china russia and the united states all three of directly china and russia really upgraded their forces in the last five years so now the united states is playing catch up a little bit on some of those people who are the problem isn't we spend more money
9:16 am
than the rest of the world on military equipment and manpower this is about big business these country companies make billions off the united states plus the illegal arms shipment state they send around the world the united states is in a constant buildup of weaponry and in a constant arms race. british prime minister trees mase right to petition of africa has been memorable not only on account of the impressive trade and investment promises but also for the kenyan leaders description of one former u.s. official on a say chicken to reports. we all know that our former u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson is no stranger to causing offense except this time around he got a taste of his own medicine from the kenyan president who standing side by side with british prime minister to resign made this to say last year you recall the
9:17 am
foreign secretary then boris. morris boris johnson. the bicycle guy were well known not only did this bicycle guy comment make headlines but also cause the u.k. delegation to chuckle as well as part of a smile too to reset may's face now one of the reasons potentially that the kenyan president would have a bone to pick with boris johnson could be the comments he had made in the past among them saying things such as barack obama being described as according to johnson as part kenyan with an ancestral dislike of the british empire as well as some other offensive comments such as watermelons but when it comes to theresa may of course the reason she would rejoice in a moment like this potentially is some of the issues she has been so for boris johnson not only did he recently resign as foreign secretary because of disagreements over her stance on bracks it but also because of the political
9:18 am
rivalry going on between johnson and may of course we have to remember that boris johnson potentially becoming the next conservative party leader has been the talk of the town here and westminster him having quite strong support among the party and meanwhile of course we know that recent may's popularity and approval ratings have really been dwindling and she knows it despite having been caught dancing a couple of times on that trip there and keeping up appearances you know what about if it takes hold she has today a lot more to come say to you know her from his post for moscow time head for the break germany's open door policy and issues of migration continue to divide communities across the country got a live report coming up from the latest protest right ahead stay with us.
9:19 am
i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent of the market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember in one one business show you can afford to miss the one and only boom bust. a parting of ways european leaders talk of a future without the u.s. what is in store for the transatlantic alliance and much much more on this edition

beaches and squares of catalonia in response has been a move now by pro independence supporters to go around to put those ribbons back up again they say the symbol is misunderstood and those removing them are actually restricting democracy and freedom catalan politicians were arrested for their role in their independence referendum last october which was ruled eventually illegal by madrid the leaders of the movement were accused of rebellion and sedition at the time referendum sparked must protest and clashes between demonstrators and the police. to people been injured in a stabbing at amsterdam central railway station the staff to do the suspect's been shot by police both victims on the suspects now in hospital the stations in lockdown train service is temporarily stopped investigations underway to try and work out what happened there. twenty five minutes past for most the time that's it for now and for me kevin i will keep in touch with your stories as and when they happen with our app if not downloaded it yet to take you straight to mobile device
