We have a lot of Mental Health problems in our country as do other countries but this isnt a guns situation i mean we could go into it but its a little bit soon to go into it but fortunately somebody else had a gun that was shooting in the opposite direction otherwise it would have been as bad as it was it would have been much worse but this is a Mental Health problem at the highest level. Of Donald Trumps next stop on this asia tour as the south korean capital seoul on monday he wrapped up ten days of talks with japans Prime Minister the threat posed by north korea dominated discussions its got heart of a pause from tokyo. During his two days in japan theres no question that President Trump and Prime Minister they have grown close as friends trump calling the relationship extraordinary calling trump a precious friend and they have also strengthened the alliance between the two nations to a level not seen before but its not just because they like each other after a summit meeting on monday they both underlined why they think that alliance is critical standing together against north korean aggression.

S. Must take leadership closely collaborating with the International Community so that we can enhance pressure on north korea through all possible i mean its the era of strategic patience is over some people said that my rhetoric is very strong but look whats happened with very weak rhetoric over the last.

Lebanons Justice Minister says there will be no action on the resignation of Prime Minister. Until he returns from saudi arabia hadi met on enviable monday out announcing his resignation there two days earlier iran and its ally the Lebanese ShiiteGroup Hezbollah accuse saudi arabia of being behind the move lebanons Justice Minister says had eighty s resignation must be voluntary and they are style has the latest from they would by the political temperature across lebanon remains that boiling points after this shock resignation by the Prime Minister saad hariri on saturday there was an emergency Cabinet Meeting an Emergency SecurityCabinet Meeting at the president ial palace in a statement the president said that Lebanon Security and economy was quote a red line and that all Political Parties were in agreement that the stability of the country was a priority whatever the case an interesting statements from lebanons Justice Minister who said that no action would be taken on mr various resignation on my c. V. Seems to be both volunteer about plans to the narrative here in lebanon that many believe saddam very was forced by his backers in saudi arabia very close ties to saudi arabia that they forced him to step. Down from this job and some suggest that he may be in saudi arabia by choice but because they demand him to be there very keen to push back against that narrative mr hariri has released photos of him meeting with the saudi king weve also seen video of this on Saudi State Television then meeting but again it really does beg the question if you will return to lebanon at this stage we dont know if you will. Iraqs highest court to declare that a province can break away its in response to septembers kurdish secession referendum the Central Government in baghdad had asked a legal clarification after what it called a mis interpretation of the constitution by kurdish leaders well lets get more on this now were joined by correspondent Stephanie Deca shes live for us in the hole in Northern Iraq so what more did the Supreme Court have to say stephanie. What it was that ruling where basically they had been asked by baghdad to look into the constitutionality of secession the constitution iraqi constitution does stress the point of territorial unity well the Supreme Court has now issued their ruling their reading of the constitution saying that it does not allow for any region of iraq to secede so of course this is in response to the september referendum the controversial referendum that was held here in the kurdish region of Northern Iraq and also the disputed territories of with a massive backlash and also interestingly weve had the office of the iraqi Prime Minister. Respond to that as well putting the ball again in the court of the k r g Kurdistan Regional government saying that they need to clarify their position on that ruling of the Supreme Court basically saying to them you need to make it clear whether you are says c. They were basically saying that you should not be sitting present course we know that that is the prerequisite of baghdad to a novel the results of that referendum after say it was a nonleague. The binding referendum of course but just the message that it sent ninety three percent of three million kurds in this region voting yes to independence an independent kurdistan schools this massive backlash and certainly this is why we are at the point that we are now and what is the kurdish Regional Government saying about the Supreme Court ruling and stephanie. I havent responded to exactly that point but i think its significant that we did hear from the Prime Minister today that Trayvon Birdsall any the first time he made a public address since the president the former president now decided on november the first that is of course his uncle but he struck a real reconciliate tone in that speech urging dialogue for baghdad stressing that yes they did interpret the constitution differently but that didnt mean that dialogue wasnt the only way forward you also touch points on certain specifics that are issues between baghdad and erbil for example the budget its complicated but it has been withholding or beals section of the budget seventy percent the Prime Minister saying well if the reinstated that weve put on pause to the oil port photo this is something important and also back of his offer to pay the salaries. Of government workers here this is another issue thats been a real economic crisis here since baghdad started with holding that that budget to this region three years ago a lot of people have been having real problems being paid back is now offered to pay them theyre welcoming that here and whether that you know theres a doubt but i think the Bigger Picture without going into all those details is that there seems to be somewhat of a of a sort of atmosphere of more reconciler dialogue because of course we had military confrontations here there is a cease fire in place but i can tell you people are still nervous theres issues of disputed territories that need to be resolved theres issues of borders and baggage has made it very clear it will be taking back control of the k r g borders that the carriage administers. Very soon that thats an. And it goes for those talks is still going on but i think the message of dialogue an important one stephanie thank you very much for that Stephanie Decker joining us with all the very latest from the hope thank you. We have plenty more ahead on the news too young to be blacklisted were in canada where parents are lobbying the government to rethink the countrys no fly lists plus. Reporting from vietnam which is still feeling the effects of a deadly typhoon as it prepares to host the World Leaders for a key economic summit and in sports one of the n. B. A. s biggest stars gets a career high. Dollar transcona secretary Britains Queen elizabeth and a top aide to the canadian Prime Minister are among thousands named in a new leak of offshore financial accounts mariana hall and has more on what is being called the Paradise Papers. More than thirteen million files taken mostly from the offshore law firm epilepsy and leaked to the same german newspaper that took hold of the Panama Papers last year this new release shedding light on who was secretly investing huge amounts of money in offshore tax havens theres a new Global Industry that caters to money that moves around the world and this money tax havens and it used to evade taxes to hide assets to steal money if you are going to have a crime if you buy Large Businesses the Paradise Papers are being poured over by around one hundred different Media Outlets newspapers broadcasters from around the globe and over the next week theyll be disclosing their findings so why so much interest well first up the money involved here is huge Boston Consulting Group estimates ten trillion dollars is held in these offshore Financial Centers and while most of us know them as techs havens few of us actually use them thats because around half of that ten trillion dollars is concentrated not in the rich but in the mega rich think zero point zero zero one percent of households and while in most cases putting your money offshore and outside of your countrys financial regulations is legal many argue hiding from the text men is unfair and critics say governments have been slow to deal with it. But its more than an equality and aleck affinis the offshore Financial System is also incredibly secretive arguably enabling the wealthy and the powerful to hide their dealings and break the law very difficult when somebody is using five or six different offshore jurisdictions to get a true picture of what theyre really doing and in countries need that because Law Enforcement not easy to cross borders but crime can cross borders so this ross please come forward day one of the disclosures and already there have been some big names Donald Trumps comma secretory wilbur ross with apparent links to russian businesses and aid to canadian Prime MinisterJustin Trudeau using offshore havens to not pay text at home and revelations around the investments of Queen Elizabeth the second the law firm epa b. Insists they reznor no evidence of wrongdoing but legal or not as more information rolls out the public will be assessing with the whats being done is ethical even appropriate or maybe given whos involved just not a good look down the hall and al jazeera. Well the u. S. Commerce secretary wilbur ross who we mentioned in that report has not been doing anything improper were joined by. Jordan i correspondent in washington they say so what is ross saying rosalind. Well ross has apparently given a brief broadcast interviews to two other International Broadcasters and he says that he has done nothing wrong in a statement that was released by the Commerce Department on sunday it indicated that the commerce secretary is very much in favor of sanctioning russia and venezuela among other countries for bad behavior and that he disclosed what he needed to disclose under u. S. Law when he was nominated to take over the Commerce Department late last fall now its important to note that even though wilbur ross who has a long career of working in International Business and is known as someone who tries to work with companies that have been on the verge of bankruptcy and bringing them back to solvency its worth noting that while he was questioned about his ties to russian business officials and russian government officials while he was undergoing his confirmation hearing senators did not ask him about his investment in navigator which is a company that does shipping of a primarily oil and natural gas around the world that Company Navigator apparently has a business relationship with a company that was centrally was set up by the russian government and includes close ties to the russian president Vladimir Putin so there are new questions about whether wilbur ross is following the spirit of the law and not just the technical letter of the law and whats been the reaction to all of the so far and in d. C. Well one senator Richard Blumenthal from the state of connecticut says that he believes that will ross did not. Act truthfully when he was undergoing his confirmation hearing and should have been much more forthcoming ethics ask birds around the country have also said that even though. Its perhaps on realistic to expect an investor wilbur ross stature to know every Single Company and every Single Person involved in a company in which his private affairs would be doing investment they do say that he does have as a Public Servant a higher ethical standard to me now of course so the question will be whether or not this becomes a note of a political problem where wilbur ross might have to consider stepping aside but so far theres been no intimation of that here in washington are awesome thank you very much for that for now thats jordan with the latest from washington d. C. Thank you. Catalonians deposed president collins pushed him on has been released from Police Custody in belgium pushed him out and four of his former ministers handed themselves to police in brussels after spain issued a european arrest warrant pushed amongst lawyers says he was freed under conditions and is expected to appear in court within fifteen days of the barber has moved from brussels. The charges for which the european arrest warrant was issued include rebellion sedition and the misuse of public funds charges which carry a possible jail sentence of thirty years so extremely serious lots of people were wondering whether the five will actually start to apply for political asylum something that colors put him on said he wasnt interested in at the moment thats not an issue but there are several steps that could happen in the next couple of months for those five to appeal if in fact the belgian legal authorities decide to extradite them back to spain beyond that political asylum could buy them some more time although the very unusual for belgium to grant asylum to citizens of another e. U. Country for the moment the politicians here are probably very grateful that its not up to them to decide what happens its purely a judicial matter its extremely of course extremely divisive here and in spain to canada now where parents of children who are mentioned on the countrys no fly list according on the government to remove their names hundreds of children someone of the age of two are on the secret list which is shared airlines and foreign governments daniel lapp reports from toronto. Adam ahmed loves video games and hes an avid fan of ice hockey his countrys favorite sport two years ago he and his father were heading to boston to watch a match when he was stopped from boarding a flight in toronto a six year old boy is name had been on and it has no fly list three years when we went on a Family Vacation to mexico my son adam was eighteen months at the time our passports were confiscated for an hour and we werent given a reason or explanation so weve seen what happens with false data being shared that this can have broader implications on the civil rights and the help and safety of canadians unlike the us canada doesnt allow people to put mistakenly on the no fly list to apply for the right to travel on hinders its all about a persons name as another canadian called adam ahmed discovered when he was stopped in two thousand and sixteen and boarding a flight home during a trip to india now that hes legally an adult hes worried itll be even harder to clear his name because theres no official list that the public is aware of but im fairly certain being eighteen makes my situation a lot worse. A social Media Campaign by parents of children whose names are on the no fly list has led to more than one hundred fifty members of parliament from all parties demanding the government make sure everyone on the list is a legitimate National Security threat legal experts say as it stands the list is probably unconstitutional these people are deemed too guilty to fly but too innocent to charge and i think thats real the real paradox of being on these kinds of lists is you have suspicion attached to you but theres not enough evidence to bring a court case against you canadas government promised to fix the no fly list last year but then didnt provide money for the program no explanations have been offered parents of the hundreds of children still on the list try hard to explain the situation to their families what we do try to tell our son is that there are hundreds of canadians whove helped across the political spot from americans as well who are supportive we want him to see that you know you have to push forward thats what you do you have to help your fellow canadian you love your young adam ahmed hopes that someday hell be able to do what many others take for granted board a flight and take a simple Family Vacation daniel like aljazeera toronto.

Vietnamese living in this area used to wild weather typhoon down ray was the twelfth major storm this year but it was particularly severe when it struck on saturday demmer a dumped huge amounts of rain on the Central Coast the ancient city of is usually bustling with tourists but the water has taken over homes and businesses and damaged livelihoods in the process and its not for us to get around and continue with our business but were trying to get on with our lives its very difficult here at the moment the whole town is flooded only on to Higher Ground outside all our furniture has been taken by the water days after the storm and the effects are still being felt with rain continuing to fall just a few kilometers from here is the city of dunn anguage this week is hosting the Asia Pacific Economic cooperation summit on the show jill is supposed to be a visit here to.

Its time for the weather now and more on the rain situation in Southeast Asia richard yeah i mean i was in a few weeks ago is a beautiful place it really is lovers shame to see it under such water but really thats what weve got at the moment with the worst typhoon to hit fear in some sixteen years now as i run the sequence but is not our typhoon in fact last another area of low pressure this is another area of low pressure which is developed into a tropical depression and thats been given some very heavy rain for coast and in thailand also pulling further south in malaysia where people have been. Evacuated from the homes more than two thousand so this situation though it looks pretty nasty i think is going to be more rain in the forecast at least in the shorter term so if on the side you can see that rain developing before eventually starts to move away out into the towards the andaman sea and into the andaman sea so pretty wet for much of the area for vietnam dry weather conditions generally the further north weve got some showers coming in and some of those could well be heavy at times so this is already tied in with the monsoon trough and as we move further towards the west into south asia you see the cloud from that monsoon just across southeastern parts of india and although you tend to think the monsoon be on its way out for southeast and thats when it really is at its peak now in the month of november more heavy rain to come here but dry and fine further north thank you very much richard still ahead on.

State of texas a vigil has been held for the twenty six people who died when a gunman opened fire in a Church Police say the death toll may rise north korea has dominated talks between the u. S.

In riyadh on monday to announcing his resignation there two days earlier iran and its ally the Lebanese Hezbollah accuse saudi arabia of being behind the. Now liberias Supreme Court has ruled that a president ial runoff vote to go ahead on to the legal complaint by the Opposition Liberal Party is resolved the National Elections commission will now need to consider allegations of voter for the runoff between former International Footballer george and Vice President s joseph was originally set for tuesday well lets get more on this now with our correspondent with interest hes live for us in the capital monrovia so what is the judge to say i. Agree with the complaints filed by. The representative of the. Party in the last election. These two. Head cases before the Election Commission to investigate allegations of irregularities conducted in at least thirteen or fourteen election areas in Liberia Election but the Election Commission did not complete the process but went ahead to announce a runoff between the two leading candidates by the way Charles Brehm came in third in the vote so he said that would be due process you believe that all these questions need to be exhausted before the Election Commission can go ahead and announce the date and candidate for the runoff so he prayed that the court should stop the runoff from taking place and prayed that the case should be heard first before any move by the. Election commission went ahead and announced the date for the runoff between the two leading contenders and also. Importation of materials and distribution of same election materials have started and they have covered at least sixty to seventy percent of which the candidate said its not right and the court agreed with him today and so what are the implications of all of this argument on the political process. When basically for the time being everything is on hold until one of the Election Commission finishes entertaining the complaints filed by a child before it and that will mean the Supreme Court by the way gave an order to the Election Commission to expedite action on that but if the Supreme Court fails to act within time it will eat up the remaining time before the next handover date from one political transition to another i mean from this kind of government will have to get selected after the run of the the handover date is generated and the election needs before that that is of course if there are no father challenges to the legal challenges to whatever decision the Election Commission has arrived at whether or not the candidate will file the case before the Supreme Court tells us. It is such a stride with the outcome of the investigation by the Election Commission so this delay is creating and that people dont really know what the final outcome be willing result. To be election with it would count in delaying. The election.

Rebels in southern senegal say in Australian Companies plans to mine for a rare mineral use and smartphones as an act of war Nicholas Hawke reports now from the village of meow from where many say the mining would affect an area already fearing the brunt of Climate Change. When an australian man wearing a big hat and his senegalese assistant came to the sos home asking did they all thought it was a bit odd but didnt make much of it she lives in the Southern Region of gaza most where rebels fighting for independence battled senegals military until the recent cease fire and. We dont see many white people around here and we dont really know what theyre doing but now they want me to leave my home i am scared and worried who are they and what have they done it turns out the australian and his colleagues were sounding the ground for minerals for the multinational Mining Company astra they found an estimated twenty five thousand tonnes of jerk on binny so its village and want to extract it the mineral is a diamond substitute lighter than steel and stronger than copper its in the central component for mobile phones High Tech Electronics in Nuclear Power plants in sos villages the mineral is visible in the sand at low tide sparkling in the sun the Global Demand for their car on outstrip supply and so multinationals across the world are searching for sites like this one the government of senegal hopes this will bring jobs to a region neglected by decades of conflict but the environmentalists that i speak to here fear that the extraction of the mineral could cause that youre reversible damage to the environment you have from is barely one meter above sea level environmentalists say rising waters in Climate Change have already destroyed homes they fear extracting zerk on will wipe out dunes that protect villages.

Two thousand and seventeen will be one of the three warmest years on record the uns Weather Agency made the announcement of the cop twenty three Climate Change conference which is open in germany the host country is often seen as a pioneer in the fight against Global Warming germany is failing to live up to its own promises clock reports. Place of the polish border in the german province of lease a landscape dominated by open cost mining theyve been producing coal has since eight hundred forty four and germany still carves out hundreds of thousands of tons every day this from a country which bills itself one of the planets most Climate Friendly nations in recent years there has been an enormous upsurge in the use of renewables here in germany especially when. Coal still represents forty percent of the total energy mix a movement of germanys coal fired power stations use and it is cold but the lignite to mind here its shape but its more carbon than anything else. Renewables cover around a third of the countrys electricity demand but theres a view that the coal truth is hidden behind the curtain of germanys Green Energy Revolution emissions actually a not dropping over the last two years we have seen basically constant emissions not increasing emissions but constant emissions in the power sector by two thousand and twenty the government wants to recuse the emissions roughly minus forty percent compared to the level of nine hundred ninety so without a phase out of coal its quite simple this cannot be achieved but some believe germanys climate promises were too ambitious a transition away from coal must be done slowly and cautiously. So. We need to bear in mind that we cannot stop our industrial and Economic Life just save Carbon Dioxide they will need spirit justing of goals a realistic one option is to replace all power plants with new ones to reduce emissions meanwhile the threats of thousands of job losses has not encouraged germanys politicians to commit to ditching coal but that could change seen problem is that the old government because they couldnt decide whether they go hundred Percent Renewables or not put a ceiling on new power plants and if you lift the ceiling again theres no problem of guaranteeing electricity in the net the big thing is to actually talk about and then do the final transition step of phasing out of coal together with the regions which are highly involved in this process as a palm Conference Begins chancellor merkel knows her nation has a filthy habit that she might be forced to kick by fast tracking a way out of germanys dependence on coal. And mike is joining us live from bonn germany now the sounds the sounds like a Good Opportunity for the green party that. Its a good moment for them to try and extract some leverage from. Has displayed sympathies to the movement in the past she was the very first president of call one twenty three years ago twenty three she will be returning this week and many people here will be looking to her to show some leadership to try and make things up and go in the right direction in terms of formulating the rule book for the Paris Agreement forged back in two thousand and fifteen and let me introduce you to. This from going which is. Friends of the earth. And to you know well that the situation. In germany and. These climate credentials but it doesnt seem to be the case now actually i we miss her voice in the current negotiations. And we have heard that the end agreements on climate couldnt be close because the. Opposing it and there was no support family. To support the greens on that case ok and as far as this Climate Conference is concerned how important is it for her to come in and cools and create some action given the fact that she has these kind of credentials behind yet its very important that she and setting it strong sign here in bonn germany promised within the applications of the Paris Agreement to. Reduce its emissions by forty percent by twenty trying to get an idea and we recently heard from the Environmental Ministry that this is not going to happen if not actions are going to be taken that we have to reduce by forty percent. At the moment it looks like we will reduce only by thirty three and this can only be achieved if we shut down all plants ok thats a very easy thing to say that is shut down well its its not as straightforward as this job involves thousands of jobs through goaltimate still supplies a significant amount of power for the. Well what many people doesnt know is that we export electricity ten percent of our electricity is going to be exploited into neighboring countries so there is a good. Fantasy which we can cut down without any problems in germany its true that there is people and will but its also true that the coal power agencies are reducing their employees already in the eastern part of germany the e. P. A. Just one step down from eight thousand to three thousand no matter what the government is doing there that is a development we have to. We have to have a little get involved and help the people to find new perspectives ok thank you very much indeed i guess whichever way you cut it trying to undergo an Energy Transition of the the saudis it just means trying to do is never going to be straight through with that too thank you very much for that joining us live from bombay thank you.

Mexicos latest wave of violence is expected to claim over twenty four thousand lives by the end of twenty seventeen worse than at the height of the drug war a few years ago the main reason for the unprecedented numbers say crime tracking n.
