Cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad the. French president emmanuel visits iraq and reiterated to support to safeguard its sovereignty. Is the ultimate judge. Right now. One of the thousands who lost loved ones in cambodias killing fields the commanders commander who ran a torture present doesnt speak. Alexina valley is the victim of an america attempt and russia must oncet difficult questions thats the message from the German Government which says it has unequivocal proof that the kremlin critic was subjected to a russian made chemical nerve agent the prominent opposition figure fell ill during a flight to moscow he is now in a serious but stable condition at a hospital in ballan where he was brought from siberia 10 days ago doctors who treated in a valley in russia say they found no evidence of poisoning a German Government Spokesman Says toxicology tests on blood samples so the presence of the nazi chalk a creep. Thats the same soviet era chemical that was used to poison former russian spy 2nd scrapple and his daughter in britain in 2018 well in a moment well cross to moscow for reaction but fast joins us live now from london where hes been monitoring developments in jannie now damn i see it the germans not mincing their weapons no theyve been very very forthright and they apparently a very very sure of what theyre saying chancellor merkel in the last half hour at a press conference said the following this is a disturbing information about the attempted murder 3 poisoning against a leading russia russian opposition figure alexina valley was the victim of an attack with a chemical nerve agent of the novacek group this poison could be identified unequivocally in tests were reminded that those tests were carried out at a German Military laboratory d as you were saying from blood samples from Alexei Navalny who is still in the sheraton the hospital in central berlin and officials at that hospital in the last hour have said that he is still in a serious condition in an induced coma in intensive care theyre saying that the effects of the poisoning are actually declining but theyre saying that the expect a long illness and there could well be long term serious effects on his health nadeem brother there with all the latest following john the developments for us from london thank you nadeem well now lets go over to moscow and get the view from there from alexandra stay out of its god who joins us live alexandra what have you been hearing from the kremlin. Well so far from premarin actually from of the spokesperson of russian president Vladimir Putin we heard that they are not yet informed about this in the meantime the russian minister of Foreign Affairs said that they are still waiting for response from german general Prosecutors Office on their request and the request was to inform them and to give them the results of the analysis so far that were done on alecs a number in the top 2 for instance inform them about what were the levels of colonists to rise in the plane and then in the hospital so to see i presume there is some a difference in the meantime these responses from the russian officials as i say were not there are not that many of them and theyre very restrained we have head of the committee for Foreign Affairs learned slutsky saying that russia is willing to cooperate that russia is interested in finding out what happened to us a not by any that such statements have to be followed a with the substantial proof with concrete evidence so solid solid proof on the other hand the russian opposition has no doubt that and i knew was boys in the boys and deliberately there saying we knew it all along or we were telling you all along one of the friends of the violin his colleague donald said well poisoning tweeted actually poisoning with not a jock its like signing your crime saying that this type of a nerve agent from this group can be used only by the state agency like the military intelligence or state Security Service now no one is lawyers are demanding russia to open the criminal case of the charge of attempted murder of a public figure so far and no criminal case has been opened there is this investigative probe where its like surely a sort of effect together in Fact Checking and to the day of from that russian officials are saying that they found no proof or evidence of. Any foul play theyre also saying that their laboratories did not find any talks in the arctic say no one needs blood or urine samples let alone the ones that have this effect of the. Nerve agents group well i want to ask you more about navi child alexander because the germans are saying this is the same family of toxins that we used to target former russian spy service cripple in the u. K. Back in 28. 00 does that make it harder from the kremlin to distance itself here. Well that is very hard to say actually because it really members could buy a case from the 2018 russian official russian official position was that it is not their military Intelligence Officers as Scotland Yard was suspecting they said these 2 guys identified are just curious that were visiting solsbury sightseeing they were even provided for russia today interview claiming that they have nothing to do with that and they are not any Intelligence Officers whatsoever so this whole thing was deemed as a give us proof this what youre giving us is not actually proof youre not giving an us access to your evidence so it was it was sort of a call them basically are false sophistication in order to. Lower the position of russia to stay in the reputation of russia in this case so that the this is not a choco well it doesnt make it any easier because just recently we had the reactions of 2 of the chemist that worked on not a joke development in the seventys theyre saying no it cannot be not a job because then he would be dead or not in a coma or it gabin on the job because if that effort so easily saw other people would be affected so we are all are they getting this kind of reaction from russian scientists but they were claiming basically the similar things in the script by the case as well so Alexander Stille an average godfather with all the latest for us from moscow thank you alexandra. Well moving on now and 14 people accused of helping Gunmen Attack the french the terek awaking Charlie Hebdo and a jeweler supermarket have now gone on trial in paris the magazine was targeted after publishing controversial contrarians of the Prophet Muhammad 17 people were killed in attacks that took place in the city 5 years ago now but one has more.

There was a very powerful silence the smell of blood and gunpowder overwhelmed the building the editorial room was carnage it was no longer a crime scene it was a war zone with bodies piled up one on top of the other it was frightening if. In the 2 days that followed the challis abdo attack ality coulibaly who had pledged allegiance to i saw shot dead a policewoman and 4 jewish people in a kosher Supermarket Police killed coulibaly just hours after officers tracked down and killed the coati brothers whod been on the run. Prosecuting lawyers said the violence would not have been possible without help from the accused a lawyer for one of the defendants though said frances Intelligence Services had to bear some responsibility. This would not have happened if the Intelligence Services had not stopped watching the show archy brothers in the early and also the real accomplices are not prosecuted. Those who supplied the weapons are not being prosecuted in this trial the attackers targeted surely update because the newspaper had repeatedly published cartoons of the prophet mohammed drawings that is designed to repopulation on his front page to mark the start of the trial some say thats a provocation but lawyers for show say its an expression of freedom of speech is this is the spirit of charlie to refuse to give up our freedom give up our laughter or freedom to criticize or bless him because if we give those we face a very bleak future for our children hundreds of witnesses will be called to testify over the next 2 months including survivors 5 years on and emotions are still rule memory is painful but their hope is that justice will be served natasha just near a paris.

My colleague funny but he spoke with kerry saying shes a human rights activist and lawyer who lost both parents and other family members to the commanders regime there is no closure to the mass crimes committed by the my room. Today or yesterday is just another reminder of just deny he was given a sentence that is way too high. But now 8 i believe that you meeting ultimate is the ultimate judge so in that regard. There is some closure but you must remember that that was a small fry he was not one of the Senior Leaders of the i was he was the one he was a direct one of the 100 prisoners in. My room and i was in a prison where 30000 were killed including my mother and so the death a is a milestone its a reminder of our past which is still very much with us but. But its. Its a plan that will continue to be with us so its a reminder and a milestone that. That what component dont take note of the office more interesting i think to the International Community than many components it dont even know that he passed away right. Himself said that he wasnt one of the main. Perpetrators and at the time of his trial he had expressed regrets for his crimes in 2009 he told the court i am so lonely and individually responsible for the loss of at least 12000 lives and even though days later he asks to be acquitted do you think he really did feel regret and would you forgive him his feet ask for forgiveness its not my place to give because i didnt suffer directly and to do it. I i c and its not my place to judge his sincerity theres an ultimate judge that he is facing face to face right now. Typhoon is bearing down on south korea with 150. 00. Miles the storm has already brought down trees and i have a ton cause its what 3 japan flights have been grounded in south korea as a precaution pride has more from. We know that its actually picking up speed now were expecting a landfall during the hours of darkness wednesday through into early thursday 11 just stand back and show you where its going to come at it from its going to come straight out of the south and right now its cutting a a track north almost equidistant between the south korean island of jeju and also the main Southern Japanese island of cuba you affecting both places dumping rain of up to 100. 00 millimeters per hour we know that some of the wind speeds are gusting up to 180 Kilometers Per Hour which would make it one of the strongest storms potentially that south korea has had for a while and one of the other concerns is that this comes at a time when we are seeing unusually high tides so there is a real danger here along this stretch of coastline of getting storm surges and weve been watching those a number of ports here fishing boats and other boats have been taken out of the water the Southern City of busan its a south koreas 2nd city several 1000000 people live here so people here are taking this very seriously theyve been putting in place all sorts of preparations securing buildings as best they can we know the authorities have here of issued the highest alert level level 4 out of a 40 as system and theres also a concern of course that in the hillsides around to sound very hilly area that surrounds us here as with much of south korea a lot of people live on those hillsides and theres a real danger of landslides because of course this is a land that has taken a real soaking from excessively long summer storms and other typhoons this is the 2nd typhoon to hit south korea and north korea in as many weeks. Now a man has stressed the need to. Fair resolution to the Israeli Palestinian conflict through the pursuit of a 2 state solution shakes remember any hosted president from Senior Adviser Jared Kushner on wednesday christmas made a stop in castle during his tour of the middle east where hes looking to gain the support of more arab nations he announced the u. S. Brokered deal to normalize relations between the u. A. E. And israel and see it to be formalized but palestinians have denounced that deal saying it betrays their rights on monday at the white house advisor arrived in the u. A. E. From israel on the fast direct flight between the 2 nations he was trained by an israeli delegation he then set off on a tour of other gulf capitals on tuesday looking for more arab support in bahrain he met king hamad bin khalifa before flying to saudi arabia for talks with crown Prince Mohammed bin salmon well he then flew to cata and spoke to aljazeera krisna sat down with out there and spoke about ending the palestinian israeli conflict discussions right now were between israel and the broader middle Eastern Countries and then israel was willing to put an offer on the table to the palestinians and that offer was for a state and then that offer also was for for a map and so hopefully at some point the palestinians will want to respond to engage and when they do i do think theres a very bright and hopeful opportunity ahead for them and one of the other things we did is we went through and we put together a big economic plan which is a 50000000000. 00 plan that will double the g. D. P. Double peoples incomes give them a 1000000 new jobs and give them hope and so right now they have a structure where theres not the right governance in place for people to want to be investing there and thats why the jobs have been held back for the Palestinian People so there is an offer now on the table for the palestinians and hopefully when theyre ready willing gauge and again President Trump is very committed to seeing the Palestinian People live a better life as are all of the leaders in this region.
