sort of smart political move on canada's part especially you know following the canadian saudi spat that sort of climaxed last august when sort of a cut relations with canada for calling for on saudi arabia to release dissidents and activists but canada can now say look we really mean it when we say that we have a feminist human rights oriented foreign policy but you know wouldn't it be great if canada then institutionalized this kind of feminist so-called human rights policy and applied it to other women who also you know suffer from domestic abuse sexual harassment who suffer from war and and protect for instance those yemeni women millions of them who continue to you know starve be killed to get m.p. tate said in a war that canada has implicitly supported through its continued arms sales to saudi arabia it's a certainly good p.r. move let's get the view from kind of remind me what's been the reaction to the news over the how it's been unfolding over the. it's been very positive i think you've seen an outpouring of public support for his case here in cannes and it certainly has no

certainly very very rocky indeed back in august saudi arabia severed all diplomatic contact with canada following criticism of its human rights policies then in october the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi certainly up the ante as a mess of demands being made the canadian government to cancel a multibillion arms deal with saudi arabia so relations have been fractured to put it like mildly in recent months and certainly the decision to grant sanctuary to saudi dissident is going to likely worsen the relations even further but it must be noted kemal the comments made by the foreign minister that human rights women's rights are human rights and that human rights are far more important than any diplomatic ties or any kind of trade deal certainly a message being sent across the border to the u.s. as well no ambiguity there is very mike hanna live in toronto thank you. still ahead if you want to al-jazeera rocks thrown through a car windscreen this is in the occupied west bank our attacks by israeli settlers on palestinians are increasing. in puerto rico our record breaking musical going

i think all of the above remember theater canada courts accepted the case because she was seen to be legitimately facing domestic violence not because of her gender that she was allowed in because she was facing domestic violence and of course in the case of saudi arabia when your abuser is also your guardian you are in frankly illegal traffic very difficult then for women to proceed for a double whammy for many women by the country in terms of what this will mean for other women i will remember your husband not the first to attempt to leave the country and i don't think she'll be the last the question will be whether or not there will be others who will try to frankly follow her path and be energized by her stuff i think that's the case but remember here women will have to leave france in saudi arabia to get on a plane and by going to kuwait and then boarding a plane to drive through a so i think this is going to be very difficult and indeed i think the clampdown may come from the family from know from the use of families or others who feel that their daughter may indeed want to lea

a short time ago she told us why the teenager has ended up in canada, when australia was the first ton a world wind few days for rahaf all-qunun who has arrived in canada, a number of news crews have been here to greet her and to ca ptu re been here to greet her and to capture those first few moments. a few days ago when she took to twitter to plead for help to avoid being deported from thailand and sent back to her family she was unknown. now she has gained international attention. she was originally supposed to go to australia where she had a support network but the process, bbc understands, was taking too long and because she had gotten threats online the un was concerned about her safety. canada was asked by the un to accept her asylum application will stop the agreed and all of this happened quite quickly with the prime ministerjustin trudeau seeing canada that be an unequivocal voice for women's rights human rights and that rahaf al-qunun was welcome. she will start now the rest of her life here in canada, the case has encouraged campaigners online who took up her case and sprea
