investigators into the consulate the show that. isn't there days after his disappearance although considering that all they really have to do is show him leaving who's responsible for showing that this person made his way out of the building obviously the consulate responsible for that you have cameras there of course you do so you have to prove that he left the premises why did you do that you should prove that the b b c interviewed mr shrug just days before his disappearance and they asked him whether he would ever return to saudi arabia. of a list of a friend who the. committee. that towards to be at least to make you feel as you do mr shoghi who has more than a million followers on twitter has been a strong critic of saudi arabia for what he says is censorship and human rights abuses and has recently been writing columns for the washington post people said

it going to. continue will be met with contempt the executive director of the peace institute told us donald trump needs to chide kathleen over his response or risk alienating a key middle east policy. president is in a very delicate and precarious situation because on the one hand he's tied his mass to a degree to moderate and solomon to the crown prince of saudi arabia so he's going to go over there and he's going to start accusing them of murdering cautionary that he's going to fight who has middle east policy in a shambles so he's in a very delicate situation i think it really underscores the toxicity of the u.s. saudi relationships which we may actually see being unraveled as was. as brett kavanaugh has his first arguments as a u.s. supreme court judge the bitterness and anger of his opponents over his appointment remains as wrong as ever carried more pain takes

welcome back to the program the u.s. state of tennessee has denied their request of a death row inmate to be executed by electric chair rather than by lethal injection ahead of adamant that. execution which is shadowed for thursday his lawyers have filed an emergency motion with the country's supreme court in the hope of getting the state's decision overturned they say that due to the severity of the pain caused by lethal injection the gorski wants to be executed by electric chair priest with a choice of two unconstitutional methods of mr gorski has indicated that if his exit is to move forward he believes the electric chair is the lesser of two evils ten to eighteen minutes of drawing separate kishen and chemical burning is unspeakable the girls he was found guilty of murdering two men in one thousand nine hundred eighty

three they had been expecting to buy around fifty kilos of cannabis from him he said to have shot them cut their throats and stolen the money and truck death row inmates who committed the crimes prior to january one thousand nine hundred nine are able to choose their method of execution since two thousand and fourteen out of the eight hundred seventy one inmates executed have been killed by electric chair the last execution took place in virginia in twenty thirteen where we're joined now by thomas refin chapters an international association of black lawyers thanks for coming into the program thomas now. why do you think edmund there goes his request for the electric chair has been denied. i think actually the request for the electric chair probably was denied because turks probably to the sea was probably first of all focused on turf during the balloon of the cocktail for lethal injection. that's
6:17 pm
a rather odd question to answer just to answer it directly so first of all i don't know why but i would think in the c. wanted the legitimacy of a cocktail would probably want to test the effectiveness of its cocktails most of the people who would be executed would probably be prefer lethal injection that is to be poison the deaf as opposed to be electrocuted lord before the deafening lecture cheer so this choice by mr the gorski is rather unique most people choose lethal injection so on the other hand i think the more appropriate question is why would the united states in two thousand and eighteen still persist with executions when there are much more humane ways of punishing people so anyway that's our with approach this matter where yeah i mean obviously we're focusing on the controversy of this case. his request has been denied why do you think it is so controversial and would it be worse for him to just accept the position of the
6:18 pm
electric chair. mr is of course mr the course he has nothing but his pride in his dignity unless his life estate. he's probably under so much stress that he's made a determination with the counsel of his lawyers that maybe it's best to seek electrocution i don't understand the wisdom of that. nor do i understand nor do i think that his choices are are acceptable. in other words his case is noteworthy because he's forced with this choice and he's chosen electrocution and that's so bizarre it. is a matter of public attention but it's a matter of public attention because the society is so brazenly inhumane with its punishments i'll give you an example because you see i'm trying to focus the matter
6:19 pm
on what i think is more intelligent our misters of course his life is but with regard to this in the united states court of the district of columbia united states court of appeals in the district columbia circuit there was a case last year called united states versus layton u.s. mercenaries killed from eleven to fourteen the rockies in the town square root wounding more than twenty one that court of appeals a federal court of appeal said that a thirty year mandatory minimum sentence was cruel and unusual and hits illegal in those men have been afforded a new trial they killed more than the love at least eleven people misters of course in one thousand nine hundred eighty three killed two people in the course of a robbery those mercenaries killed eleven people or more and wounded more than twenty as part of a war crime their lives have never been threatened with execution and the courts see it that the thirty year mandatory minimum sentence was cruel while whitton
6:20 pm
either being fried in the electric chair or being poisoned to death be regardless cruel and unusual that's what i would say and i think most people who are trying to look at the question of what's the most appropriate way to prevent murder and other violent crime with think that i'm actually speaking towards this matter and in the most intelligent way. ok very difficult subject and decision there thomas roughened chair of the international association of black lawyers thank you very much for coming on to the program. for. locals on the french island of law today can the caribbean say their health is at risk because of a toxic pesticide the chemical is banned on mainland france itself but islands say it's been allowed for use on the banal or plantations for decades and it's causing serious illnesses.

feeding us and the regional health agency knew officials knew and no one not population this is very. soon it's not possible to get an estimate of the number of patients who are victims of florida congress will be the priority is to determine the number of farmers who . working in the banana plantations i don't know hundreds of many of them have died of prostate cancer many had premature babies why did they let french people sleep eat speak taters because they contaminate but they let us eat the same taytay strain same period. when one is aware that a product is toxic a still use is assassination such as mata the french state is complicit in this assassination because they will slice the case toxic. that the state must take its share of responsibility for this pollution must make

it's easy to find and then to me where their fault and swear their. banks much more difficulties explaining how things are once you stop telling people look you my hate the banks by where do you put your money ah you put them in the bank and what happens to the bank goes on and don't see your money anymore these kind of reasonings will be much more i'll fall to make people on the stand in rio dynamics there and why people locked on consequences of price is that of post nobody wants. to. when a loved one is murder it's natural to seek the death penalty for the murder i would prefer it be to the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing research shows that for every nine executions one convict just found
6:25 pm
innocent the idea that we were executing innocent people is terrifying there's just no really hasn't been that we're even many of the times families want the death penalty to be abolished the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want to that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite you know we've been through this this isn't the way.
