max hoffman standing by there at that e.u. summit in brussels waiting for those leaders or come out of that room with some sort of confirmation of the deal thank you very much max. in the meantime let's get you caught up on some of the other stories making news around the world more than eighty people have drowned after a ferry sank in the iraqi city of mosul according to an official most of the dead are women and children the boat had been ferrying passengers to a recreational island on the river tigris when it capsized. former brazilian president michel has been arrested in connection with a large scale corruption investigation prosecutors say ten there was arrested on charges related to alleged graft in the construction of a nuclear power plant tender was president of brazil from twenty sixteen to twenty eighteen and he has denied any wrongdoing. at least five people have died and more than twenty have been injured in a series of blasts in the afghan capital kabul the explosions occurred near a shiite shrine as people gathered to mark the persian new year police say the bombs were detonated remotely. u.s. presidents donald trump has said that the golan heigh

brussels bureau chief max hoffman he's been standing by for us in brussels in what has been a long nights of an e.u. summit and it's just day one max we just heard the press conference with donald tusk and john claude junker and they announced that there will be a brac sit extension and really a two pronged extension we have one that could be may twenty second extension and that is if this deal maze deal with the e.u. is approved in the house of commons we also have a date of april twelfth and that's in case there is no deal now we're waiting on the prime minister herself to come to the stage and address the reporters there do we have any idea of what theresa may might say and in terms of.

max hoffman who is in brussels for us look max nothing is simple with present right in this extension deal is no exception we have these two dates in fact in this deal april twelfth and may twenty second can you first just walk us through some of these complicated details here. nothing is ever simple but it all starts next week when presumably the house of commons will vote for a third time on the withdrawal agreement so that's the divorce deal that the e.u. and the u.k. negotiated for the last two years and the house of commons already has rejected twice to be fair but it seems to reason may the prime minister the u.k. is rather optimistic that if she really gets that third vote she might be able to push it through let's say just for the sake of it she does in that case there's an automatic extension until the twenty second of may that would be a technical extension because even if the house of commons approves they would need some time to implement that decision into the into u.k. law so that that's probably the simplest of the options now the unfortunately it's not the most likely one the most likely one is that the house of commons will reject this deal as they have done twice before and then the extension gets shortened until the twelfth of april doesn't mean that there will really be a briggs because. president of the european council was asked exactly that question and he said everything is still on the table until that day so even a very long extension could be possible if and that's the big if the u.k. participates in the european elections in may also a no brainer deal bragg's it would be possible at that moment so to sum it up karl they have kicked the can down the road two weeks. now max theresa may she came into brussels in a tough position she was asking for an extension to join june thirtieth she didn't get that how satisfied do you think theresa may is with this outcome. my question she felt about the fact that she again didn't get what she came for here in brussels and she basically brushed it off saying that this was part of the nature of something like that that there needed to be to be compromise which is obvious of course the european union is all about about compromise but the question really is how does this change anything for theresa may because. most likely outcome at this moment is that the deal the withdrawal agreement will be rejected for a third time in the house of commons next week even if it even is put up for another vote because the speaker of the house of commons rejected it for the third vote this week so there might be some kind of change for him to put it up next week so most likely it gets rejected and then they have another two weeks basic

max hoffman are burial correspondent standing by good evening to you max ok let's talk about the timing on this i understand now that different dates are being thrown around what more do we know. well it's about the dates and it's about the conditions that you mentioned brian earlier you said there were some strings attached for example that the so-called with raul agreement or the divorce deal whatever you want to call it anyway that deal that was negotiated over the last two years would have to be approved by the house of commons next week to grant an extension well that's no longer written in stone to put it that way it seems like the leaders have just taken away everything that was drafted before and they're drafting their own thing now so you can imagine you have twenty seven you leaders in there it's all that you leaders except for theresa may the u.k. prime minister everybody with their own idea trying to come up with of we know for example that mike hall the french president proposed deadline may seventh without any conditions but that the u.k. would have to express itself by the eleventh of april whether they want to partake in the european elections or not and if they if they indeed do partake in the european elections that they could extend even further until the end of the year that's what's been called here a flex tension because you know there are some flexible elements in an extension like that we don't really know what's going to come out of that it's like everything's been throwing into. a big cooker and we don't know yet what kind of recipe they're following. feels a little bit like much ado about nothing because at the end of the day we still don't know if the prime minister will be able to deliver what the european union wants and that is to get the british parliament to approve the brics a deal. well what we need to do you know there are some lines emerging here and it appears that the leaders are no longer counting on theresa may to deliver on that brags that they don't they don't believe that three some may can convince the house of commons even if if she do that if she tries it for the third time to actually approve this withdrawal agreement so that's that's part one as an absolute red line is also emerging the safeguarding of the european elections because beforehand they were discussing extensions beyond those elections that are taking place at the at the end of of may and now that seems to be more or less off the table because they fear that this could compromise the e.u. institutions that's something they will not accept so those two very important decisive elements and lines of thinking are emerging here even if we don't know the exact outcome yet. maggs there has been a narrative throughout these negotiations that the european union would never really have the nerve if you will to refuse an extension because they would be fear that it would throw the u.k. into chaos is that true tonight i mean do the other leaders the e.u. twenty seven do they feel like if there were a a crash out of the european union would they be seen as the bad guys in this situation. nobody really wants to take the blame you're right about that and that's why it's very likely that there will be some kind of extension although you know the delay that the default option is still the train crash that would be a no deal bragg's it so that's why presumably they are disk. a system that has certain automatic elements so at the end they can say listen the brits didn't you know they didn't. follow our conditions at this given point and that's why it's no longer the fault of the e.u. twenty seven but you always have to keep in mind even if the use shying away from being responsible for this at some point there will have to be a decision and it might be a no deal bragg's it and there's just no shying away from this because you cannot extend forever you can say ok there is no brags it but the u.k. would have to do that but at some point that will have to be a decision yeah it's amazing isn't it just a week to go until break that is scheduled to begin and we still don't know how that deadline will look at that summit in brussels exactly one week max thank you. well u.s. president has said that the golan heights should become a recognized part of israel he tweeted today that after fifty two years it is time for the united states to fully recognize israel's sovereignty over the go on high on his role to control of the strategically located go one hides from syria in the sixty's were in one thousand sixty seven the area has been occupied by israel ever since the end exemption has not been recognized by the international community. and the news is a major boost for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he is facing reelection in two weeks netanyahu had this to say tonight about trump's announcement the president. has just made history i called him. i thanked him on behalf of the people of israel he did it again first to. recognize to swim israel's capital and move the u.s. embassy. then he. pulled out of the disastrous you won't really read bull's arms but know he did some through. the stork importance he recognizes ruse so we do

max hoffman who is following this emerging story max what more can you tell us. well we don't know much more than you just said at the moment because of course what's really important in these situations is to verify the information you get a whole lot of different things on social media it's really important to stick to the sources so here what we do know from the officials in utah is that this happened around ten forty five local time on monday morning on a tram what's encouraging if you can speak about encouraging in these circumstances there are no reports of fate tallaght ease as of yet the exact wording that the police is using right now are multiple injured but they have deployed helicopters they did the ploy their terrorist unit to go there and the terrorism coordinator of the netherlands has said that they are investigating the situation so what is the situation there in place right now i mean it must be if this is this isn't near the city you know on a public transport tram this must have must be a great must have created just ruction in the city. well the police asked everybody naturally to stay away the whole area is cordoned off at the moment but the situation is such that they have a large deposit nearby deposit as we understand for the trams themselves so this is being used as sort of a relief headquarters at the moment where they were able to bring the victims at first later on with the helicopters we understand they were transported off of course to hospitals nearby but of course yes disruption of course it's a big area it's a big street where you have the trams going from one area to the next area and i mean if you are in the air you hearing this the police have asked people to stay out of out of the area which is completely standard procedure for for an incident like that. assuming this is a terrorist incident when we're still waiting for details to find out what has happened is is in the netherlands is the netherlands prepared for this sort of thing are they on high alert or is there any particular terrorist threat that's been announced recently. we weren't aware of any unusual terrorist threats of course. in especially this area of europe so belgium france than that the lens also parts of germany with already is in the last years have been investing a lot to get more information to try to get contact where they think that communities are being radicalized ever since the attacks in paris for example a couple of years ago or also here in belgium and the situation had calmed down in respect to the terrorist activities although. the whole police and the intelligence services have like i said completely beefed up. i'm not aware of a very high terrorism alert level and like i said we need to be careful we don't know anything about about this shooter as we understand police have not apprehended anyone so we're completely unaware of any possible motives and this person there could be all kinds of reasons of course the first thing that it comes to mind in jurors because of what happened in the last years is possible. is a mistake terrorist attack but like we just saw in new zealand there are other groups that are capable of doing something and last but not least over the past year of these also seen shootings like that for example in the states but also in europe people that are not politically motivated but have other issues. mike thank you so much from max hoffman there in brussels and of course will be bring you more details on this story as they become available again we've got a shooting incident in the dutch city of. and apparently no one has been apprehended yet the shootings took place on a tram and a number of injuries or wounded have been reported you're watching news now back here to germany a syrian migrant has gone on trial charged with killing a man in the eastern city of camden it's the incident last year sparked migrant protests in the city and led to a national debate about the rise of the far right. fatally stabbed in the eastern german town of candidates last summer the suspects were two asylum seekers one of them has just gone on trial the other is still at large. the attack prompted the biggest right wing riots germany had seen in years for days protesters marched in the streets of candidates shouting racists lawyers some were seen showing the hitler salute which is a crime in germany the police were criticized for fa

max hoffman who is in brussels for us look max nothing is simple with price it right at this extension deal is no exception we have these two dates in fact in this deal april twelfth and may twenty second can you first just walk us through some of the complicated details here. nothing is ever simple but it all starts next week when presumably the house of commons will vote for a third time on the withdrawal agreement so that's the divorce the e.u. and the u.k. negotiated for the last years and the house of commons already has rejected twice to be fair but it seems to reason may the prime minister of the u.k. is rather optimistic that if she really gets that third vote she might be able to push it through let's say just for the sake of it she does in that case there's an automatic extension until the twenty second of may that would be a technical extension because even if the house of commons approves they would need some time to implement that decision into the into u.k. laws so that that's probably the simplest of the options now the unfortunately it's not the most likely one the most likely one is that the house of commons will reject this deal as they have done twice before and then the extension gets shortened until the twelfth of april doesn't mean that there will really be a briggs because. president of the european council was asked exactly that question and he said everything is still on the table until that day so even a very long extension could be possible if and that's the big if the u.k. participates in the european elections in may also a no brainer deal bragg's it would be possible at that moment so to sum it up karl they have kicked the can down the road two weeks. now max theresa may she came into brussels in a tough position she was asking for an extension to join june thirtieth she didn't get that how satisfied do you think theresa may is with this outcome. by aster that question she felt about the fact that she again didn't get what she came for here in brussels and she basically brushed it off saying that this was part of the the nature of something like that that there needed to be to be compromise which is obvious of course the european union is all about about compromise but the question really is how does this change anything for the recent made because. most likely outcome at this moment is that the deal that withdrawal agreement will be rejected for a third time in the house of commons next week even if it even is put up for another vote because the speaker of the house of commons rejected it for a third vote this week so there might be some kind of change for him to put it up next week so most likely outcome it gets rejected and then they ha

max hoffman who is in brussels for us look max nothing is simple with price it right at this extension deal is no exception we have these two dates in fact in this deal april twelfth and may twenty second can you first just walk us through some of these complicated details here. nothing is ever simple but it all starts next week when presumably the house of commons will vote for a third time on the withdrawal agreement so that's the divorce deal that the e.u. and the u.k. negotiated for the last years and that the house of commons already has rejected twice to be fair but it seems to reason may the prime minister the u.k. is rather optimistic that if she really gets that third vote she might be able to push it through let's say just for the sake of it she does in that case there's an automatic extension until the twenty second of may that would be a technical extension because even if the house of commons approves they would need some time to implement that decision into the into u.k. law so that that's probably the simplest of the options now the fortunately it's not the most likely one the most likely one is that the house of commons will reject this deal as they have done twice before and then the extension gets shortened until the twelfth of april that doesn't mean that there will really be a brags that because the president of the european council was asked exactly that question he said everything is still on the table until that day so even a very long extension could be possible if and that's the big if the u.k. participates in the european elections in may also no great deal drugs it would be possible at that moment so to sum it up karl they have kicked the can down the road two weeks. ok so still some clarity but not maybe as much as people would expect or now let's talk about theresa may herself she came to brussels tonight in a tough position she was asking for an extension in fact a june thirtieth she didn't get that of course how satisfied she is with the outcome. looks like max we may have lost the connection there can you hear me now max. sorry can't hear it if you. can hear me max arrived looks like we'll try to get that connection back in the meantime we'll just have to move on now the uncertainty over bracks it means uncertainty of course for british people living in other european union countries in spite of verbal reassurances from both brussels and london it's still unclear what breaks it means for them one hundred thousand british citizens live here in germany and they're concerned about how their lives will change if and when that happens. back and forth and back and forth. off the backs of negotiations negotiations that are seriously trying the relations between the european union and the british government especially since the second deal fell through in the british house of commons. order is what jenny hayhurst has been looking for since the bracks of referendum kicked in in twenty fifteen a year before the referendum the british student moved to

max hoffman is covering the summit for us tonight good evening to you max so here we are it looks like a reason may may have been able to clinch that bridge delay but different dates different times are being thrown around right now what do we know so far. so confirmed is that the dates are being heavily discussed among the leaders actually not really because they've taken a break to continue the discussion during a working dinner so this might drag on into the night but there are different models floating around and none of those are yet confirmed but they they seem to be trying to taking back control they have realized at least that's what it seems that the house of commons will not pass the withdrawal agreement even if it's put before them a third time you remember it's already failed twice so what good would it be to try again and then have a special summit at literally the last possible day to change anything so that seems to be the thinking behind us now what we what we are hearing that they're discussing sort of a flex tension so bear with me here this with basically extending until the seventh of may without any conditions so whether this withdrawal agreement is passed or not and then but until the eleventh of april the u.k. would have to signal whether they intend to take part in the european elections that take place in may and if the. do then that would mean there would be a longer extension which would give the u.k. the chance to to sort things out if not then the seventh of may would be the end of the line so that's the model we're hearing but not confirmed yet it in march and you have to wonder will an extension really make a difference in the eyes of the other e.u. leaders do they think that theresa may can deliver what they want and they want a break that plan to be passed by parliament i think the trust level regarding theresa may in this building is very very low but we don't know what the trees are made will be the prime minister when those new deadlines should they be confirmed approach so it's seems like the only solution to get a breakthrough at this point is really maybe with a different prime minister or the house of commons decides that they will really participate in the european elections and then everything is possible a second referendum snap elections all those all those things and if not then the most likely scenario come may seventh if this really is the new deadline always keep that in mind then it seems like a no deal brags it is the most likely outcome but it would at least give both parties the chance to prepare a little better for the no deal breaker. all right arm myself and there anthony you somebody in brussels max rechecking with you later received thank you. while politicians on both sides of the negotiations wind up the rhetoric european union citizens in the u.k. still do not know what will happen to them will there be a hard break a softer breaks or not. at all more than three million people will be affected some of whom have been calling the u.k. home for a decade. karen meter has just returned from school run with her children just like she does every school day she lives in north london but her routine is about to be totally overturned because of threats that i had to make personnel decisions in terms of whether to stay in my job and relocate or try and find another job in england karen is from is tonja and works for the european medicines agency just a few underground stops away in cannery wharf but at the beginning of march the e.m.a.'s relocated to amsterdam because britain is leaving the e.u. i really like my job i enjoy working. and do what i do so i took the decision that i want to

max hoffman in assure us for both of them standing by for us. and max it to see you are going to start with you the attorney general with this letter casting doubt on this deal even with the changes that were made how important is that. well conservative as well as no the narration piece said before that they were going to listen to the attorney general and his legal explanation i wonder though if it really changes people's minds or if there was ever a chance that they would change their minds because opinions on breaks that are extremely entrenched here in the u.k. you can hear and see behind me there's a lot of supporters from both sides of the divide people some people just one doubts at any cost and as soon as possible others want to stay within the european union and they are hoping for a second referendum and the same thing is mirrored inside the house of commons so even though it is obviously an important statement and everybody said they would take into account the legal position opinions on bricks it's of really really entrenched in the u.k. ok so you have been standing there with a parliament today a broken talking to lawmakers what are they saying about their opinions what are the chances of the still passing. while i speak to some you wilson who is one of the leading members of the northern irish do you see here in the house of parliament northern ireland's politicians are those that conservative m.p.'s are having a close look at if the northern irish m.p.'s were. a vote for treason may's deal a lot of conservative m.p.'s would follow them however semi wilson in this interview that we've done this morning seem very very critical he's speaking of a toxic deal and it's better to have no deal than this toxic deal so i can't really imagine him to be voting for treason may's deal tonight max let's come to you in strasbourg now you know theresa may and the e.u. last night hashing out changes to this agreement where does that your stand on all of this. we've had multiple reactions pouring in from all across europe including for example a meeting of the european affairs ministers in bucharest so rumania where they had a scheduled meeting and they seemed all quite a bit about this new solution we have to keep in mind though this is not a new deal the deal itself so the withdrawal agreement or some call it the divorce deal remains untouched this is just an interpretation some even say it's an interpretation of the interpretation of the divorce deal so giving reassurances as shown through put it in the night from monday to tuesday but they all unanimously said this is it this is the deal that will be no further negotiation. so some of the minister said so so basically the message to the u.k. in the house of commons is take it or leave it no more negotiation that is something we

max hoffman he is on the story for us tonight in strasbourg france you do you max so what can we say is there been a reaction from the european union and is the european union basically now reckoning with an extension to brics. well disappointment frustration those have been the reactions we experienced here in stroudsburg where the european parliament is having its plenary session and quite frankly many of the parliamentarians here don't really understand what the goal is of the house of commons they probably aren't the only ones in this case are they expecting an extension. maybe but i would say that most people i talked to here are now thinking that the most likely outcome is braggs it without a deal because it is brant the default option but is it it's not in anyone's interest for there to be a new deal. directly so why would the european union not go that extra step now and give the u.k. an extension let's say for two months if you know if that could mean you know establishing some order in this chaos. there are a couple of layers to that brand well that the european union is very much open to granting that extension that you were talking about and actively delaying the braggs it but many of the leaders in the european union for example a french president in my room i call have said that there needs to be a reason for that extension because of the likelihood is that at the end of that extension we're exactly where we are right now and we've been there before you know that then it doesn't make sense to grant that extension so possible justification would be a second referendum or snap elections we don't see that coming at the moment but to be fair you know there is a good will to grant that extension but the u.k. has to apply for it and whether they really do that is unclear at the moment we'll have a series of votes to determine that further down the road so we'll just have to wait and see for that right now now having gone the extra step many here feel they have gone many extra steps already granting the u.k. what they can grant them and this is the end of the line that's the deal. head of the e.u. commission repeatedly said that there won't be a thirteenth he said he said this is this is the second chance and that chance failed in the eyes of the commission so the views are hard in the front lines are hardened really asked many parliamentarians here no one sees a path forward at the moment or what's your opinion max i mean just we were trying we're still trying to get our head around what happened last night there in straws bring this meeting between younger and theresa may you know what she was trying to do what was what was your trying to do as well i mean how complicit has the european union been in this saga of bricks and this this shambles some would say that we're looking at tonight. well complicit would be a very strong word i think what we saw last night and i'm not the only one to think that is both don't go younger and to resign may try to put more pressure into the pressure cooker to finally sway a majority of the house of commons to vote for that brags a deal trying to convince them that it is the best of alternatives that clearly has not worked and now to say that the e.u. is complicit with with what happened i've heard that line of thinking but the only way where you really can argue is that the e.u. was too hard on the u.k. but then again we just heard with what barbara bizzle expl

max hoffmann in brussels and get mass in the london welcome both let's start with you max hoffman threesome i are looking for a short extension is the e.u. likely to grant it. well it depends with what kind of wording she does because the feeling here is that there is really no plan for an extension and that's something that leaders repeatedly said in the last weeks actually there needs to be a plan there needs to be a reason there needs to be a path for going to need to be clear that at the end we are not exactly in the same position as we are now so it even seems well like you would be a little too much in the situation but john could your girl have to do you commission said he doesn't think that readers will be able to decide this on thursday or on friday when the e.u. summit takes place here in brussels because they have no basis for decision they haven't received a letter from london that was promised it's with the request for an extension or with you know the wording why they would like an extension and we've been working our sources on this and it seems increasingly clear that there might be a special summit next week to decide this in brussels a bug it must in london that series america has been told that she won't be able to you withdrawal plan to another vote in parliament but we're now hearing about a vote will happen next week how. well phil there are two elements to that story one is that some people here in london are actually hoping that when theresa may goes to brussels tomorrow that she will bring back some concessions and as such change the deal that's on the table and then she would be able to bring it back so we for example had this morning on the radio one of the former cabinet minister a leader of the conservative party who said that the e.u. and i know this will bring smiles to sarcastic smiles maybe two to max's face another people in brussels the e.u. needs to learn how the british parliament works so this is the expectation that somehow there will be some concessions in london and the other element of that story is that reason may and how government are working behind the scenes in order . to change the parliamentary arithmetic so if she does bring the deal back maybe next week then she will have the support so they are working with the northern irish m.p.'s they're working with their own bricks it is in order to influence them and then hopefully what is what they want to unite people behind the reason may and actually accept the deal odds are really last minute next week. in london not so often in brussels thank you both. starting to reach communities in mozambique devastated by cycling six days ago a getting it to people is difficult because heavy flooding submerged roads and swept some of them away foreign governments have pledged support with twelve million dollars from the european uni

correspondents max hoffman in a brussels for you and alex forrest whiting in the studio with me we'll get to her in a moment but want to give max the first word if i may a conditional extension that max o'donnell to us was speaking there from brussels where you are what you make of his reaction to teresa mayes demand for an extension to the end of june. you know we had to get some clarification from from our sources here in brussels to be sure to know what he actually meant to get into for taishan of what on the mend so what's going to happen is he is going to suggest what he just said to the leaders when they come on thursday to brussels for their summit meeting he will suggest that they're in favor of the short term extension until the thirtieth of june if the house of commons in the u.k. next week approves the already negotiated withdrawal agreement that they have already rejected twice if that does not happen then it gets interesting because then he at least that's how we read what he said he will call for a special summit at the end of the next week where leaders could convene again and then think about what what they should do in the face of this third rejection by the house of

max hoffman there is frostburg and to bagot moss and a lot of thanks very much. this is still to come on the show boeing seven thirty seven max is banned from much of the world's skies after the ethiopian airlines trashed but the u.s. still backs the part of the judge will have some in-depth analysis later in the show. but first an australian court has sentenced cardinal george pell former close advisor to pope francis' to six years in prison for child sex abuse the vatican's former finance minister was found guilty of molesting two choir boys twenty years ago he's the most senior catholic cleric to be sentenced for child abuse how was convicted in december of last year after a gagging order prevented the media from reporting on the case until february when the prosecution decided not to go ahead with the second trial on other charges. oh well joining us now from sydney is correspondent roger maynard who's been covering this story for us good morning roger what's been the reaction to the six year sentence handed down to cardinal pell. it's brown clearly a dark and momentous day but the catholic church here and certainly his children say that hurls conviction and the sentencing today has divided much of australia some arguing that hell is basically an evil man and that he severely tarnished image in the reputation of the catholic church while others believe that he's been made a scapegoat for the perceived misdeeds of other church so they claim that the evidence just doesn't add up that it would never be left alone with these children back in the one nine hundred ninety s. and so patrick's cathedral in the in melbourne and the door where this allegedly happened was always open people working full time so there's a lot of control this year this case which has divided much of australia both in the media and publicly as well about his guilt or innocence and i'm so i suspect this case is to a court or a long way to go ok will passing his sentence the judge in this case peter many clear the hell degraded his victims let's listen to what he had to say in my view the first episode in the preceptress to involved a brazen and forcible sexual attack upon the two victims he acts were sexually graphic but i think tim's visibly an orderly horribly distressed during this offending the obvious distress and objections of your victims is relevant to my assessment of the impact of your offending on jay and. roger there are course some other victims of catholic clerics in australia what are they saying to you about this sounds. well interesting the court itself was on the seat with media and other sex abuse victims there wasn't any space at all people were standing at the back of the court pressing against the back wall and when the sentence was handed down there was a very little reaction of the fairly quiet in the court but outside when the news. leaked out the crowd out there cheer and and and applauded the decision on. it but it also spun to have a story on social media where many people accuse the judge of being far too lenient in the case of george while also the father of of one of the two victims who has since died sadly expresses dismay at the sentencing the solicitor representing the man who can't be named for legal reasons outlined is disappointed at the short sentencing and expressed circus over what he believes is inadequate for the crime and there were lots of other protests that there the made their feelings no one of them said is absolutely outrageous how do we how much do we have to suffer how insulted do we have to be before real justice occurs he said at run her carnal pal maintains his innocence through all of this so what happens next. well very much there will be an appeal which is due to take place in the early part of jus the defense of indicate that the in my office will reach trial as they believe the jury did not have all the information available to the they they believe that there was not enough evidence given during the trial to corroborate the allegations made against libby they have a pretty good case. out of the hill that appeal would take some time to process you would know will remain in jail until certainly until then and i suspect that this case which is certainly very very controversial in australia i don't you know the parts of the world will still have a long way to run a movie settle quickly roger maynard for us from sydney today thanks very much for that roger iran. or india and pakistan edged close to a full blown conflict last week after a suicide
