A beach in demeans the. Protesters in south africa accuse a leading pharmacy chain of posting racist advertisements. And timely harding with your sports news Novak Djokovic is disqualified from the u. S. Open after hitting a ball that strikes a female line judge in the throat. Thanks for joining us they were convicted for their part in the murder of saudi journalist. But less than 2 years after his killing in turkey 8 men have had their sentences reduced the announcement was made by the saudi Prosecution Service which also declared the case closed last year 5 of them were given the death. For the killing but that has been cut back to 20 years in jail the others have been given sentences ranging from 7 to 10 years was murdered by a saudi had inside its stumble consulates in 2018 and saudi arabia refused all coals for the men to go on trial in turkey lets discuss this is that i mean hes the director of Global Engagement at the American University of beirut and the nonresidents a senior fellow at Harvard Kennedy school hes joining us from cambridge over in massachusetts thanks very much for your time and i mean who is so this closes the case privately and publicly thats according to a statement by the Public Prosecutor but certainly the friends and family of jamal and perhaps even the International Community wouldnt agree. Thats right i think theres a lot of concern and the International Community which has been very clearly expressed by the u. N. Special. Investigator for extra judicial killings agnes. And other bodies the cia said last year that they think that theres a direct link to the office of the crown prince and so to arabia for this killing that it was meditated already organized so there are serious concerns people in the u. S. Senate people all over europe all over the world have asked questions to get the real answers and the lead asone judicial system in its current form like many all across the region in the 3rd world doesnt really give enough protection to the accused or information to the public the trial was a done secret and close trial that there was no International Observers in the hands of the victims or the accused were not a published. And theres no more. Appeal possible so the nature of the evidence although you know every technical part of the trial almost has been questioned by. Internationally accepted judicial standards so this is not only a judicial issue its a political issue as well and theres concerns that one of the key persons so the customer who was sitting here. To the crown prince of saudi arabia why he was not. Charged and he was let off and hes still working in saudi arabia in different capacities so there are many many kinds of questions political right as judicial and otherwise that are going to continue to be raised yes a lot we dont know as youre saying and not least of course on are who these people are that have now begin been given reduced sentences and also the big question that remains unanswered is what happened to cause of this body. Well lets assume the puzzle just body was dismembered by the team that came from saudi arabia with a bone saw and other equipment to get rid of the body so that it can never be found thats an assumption that hasnt been proven thats one reason people want a more. Credible public trial based on International Standards of criminal law. And the issue of who actually ordered it thats still a big question the cia and agnes come out another say that well there was a direct link to the crown princes office and maybe to the crown prince had been some and thats an accusation it is not Proven Guilty but its a serious accusation when it comes from people like the un special investigator who carried out a very thorough investigation and the cia you have to think that there may be some evidence that makes us credible so theres a lot of questions that need to be answered and the issue of course is not just why was one person killed like this there are other accusations that the so these other people across the region Government Agencies and officials are following their critics and tormenting them and terrorizing them in some cases you know spying on them and trying to bring them home and put them in jail or in the worst case kill them as i write to her shoulders so there are many dimensions to this and i mean while i have you with us let me just tell you what the u. N. Special reports are agnes calmar has just tweeted this is part of a series of tweets but she said at the saudi prosecutor performed one more active day in this parody of justice but these verdicts carry no legal or moral legitimacy they came at the end different process which was neither fair nor just or transparent i mean your reaction. I think thats the prevalent opinion among serious interested parties around the world whether theyre legal scholars criminal investigators political personalities or institutions and organizations like the un or the u. S. Senate or others and this is a accusation that. Against the saudi criminal system that has been constant for many years and others to be fair around the world not just the saudis but in this case of such a big public event and it just doesnt go away people keep raising it people keep asking questions theres a big documentary coming out early in october thats been in the works for 2 years that theres going to be probably have some more information thats going to be relevant to this case so the reality is that this is a. Judicial and a political question and both of them are important to so these are very powerful they carry a lot of weight theyre using their weight their military might their economic might their social religious cultural power all around the world and not everybody is happy with what they do some people are some people arent so they are not just a little in consequential 3rd world country in the corner somewhere that doesnt have an impact they have huge impact all over the world and thats why i think this case has resonated because if there is as charged a possible link to the office of the crown prince of even to the crown prince of self and hes going to become king and the u. N. Agency and the cia and others think that he ordered this premeditated assassination of Soda National thats pretty serious stuff yeah so the real issue is how can we find out so hes innocent till Proven Guilty the other people that have been charged we dont even know who they are right on their sentences are almost certainly going to be reduced this this this will go on and on ok i mean what are we thank you for speaking to us on aljazeera.

It has nothing to do with outside as the they were fighting to the Regional Economic group they could have a community of West African States so this is where they are now and the talks i understand will continue over the next few days before they reach a decision and what else is being discussed at the summits. Well the summit looked at the various issues confronting the region 1st of all the escalating violence in the region in the sahara in the Lake Chad Basin i remember there are many countries in the region mali burkina faso nigeria and. Also cameroon by the way are suffering from a touch by armed groups some linked to isis some linked to al qaida and the homegrown book.

S. An inquiry into the 27000 bombing of a concert in the broader city of manchester has wrapped up for the day 22 people were killed when an attacker detonated his explosives at a concert by singer Ariana Grande day the inquiry will examine possible security failings in the lead up to that attack family members of victims and survivors will also make statements last month the bombers brother was jailed for life for his role in planning that attack paul brennan is just outside the Manchester Court with an optics well theres certainly a high level of expectation from the relatives that they will get answers to exactly what happened in that bomb attack and the lead up to it there are some concerns that the Security Services will be able to give evidence from behind closed doors. The relatives will not be allowed to have a representative in the room. During that testimony but they are giving the benefit of the doubt at the moment to John Saunders whos the inquiry chairman to give the the m i 5. Witnesses. A full interrogation to try to get to the bottom of exactly what the Security Services knew thats just one part of it but the actual bombing on the night doesnt actually need to look a lot wider of what happened before that because it seems red flags are being raised about some of his actions even before that how much a feat is the chief executive of the Ramadan Foundation in manchester and he says authorities ignored legitimate concerns that were raised before the attack. The time of the bombing no i said quite clearly that as a youth worker who saw a baby at the rate the mom who was speaking against isis in the ideology and that was reported to the Counterterrorism Hotline there were other examples of other people in the community from within the Libyan Community who were also concerned about that reported that as well so we need to know what happened who knew what and i think the other aspect of it which is really important is that ultimately the person responsible for this heinous crime is the terrorist and his brother but overall weve got to learn lessons to make sure that it doesnt happen again and if god forbid it does happen again our intelligence agencies our police on Emergency Services prepared for that eventuality in this case we want to hear what happened what information was given to the authorities and what the aftermath was once the bombing happened how did Emergency Services respond we know Police Officers and ambulances werent allowed to go into did we need to treat people so families one and says on that but i think theres one aspect that we havent discussed and im just a shame that we havent in our public debate and that is our involvement in the war in libya selman a baby his family and many of the libyans were allowed to travel to libya to become hardened criminals to be brainwashed into supporting terrorism in libya fighting khadafy and we as in the United Kingdom we turned a blind eye to that we doubted to come back to this country and we dont know what what safeguards were they put in place to screen these people on their return are thats a big red herring that hasnt been addressed up until now and the latest stage in Julian Assange just legal battle against extradition to the u.

To people like you before me. Not everybody because most journalists would comply. With those who are not who are real. Challenge or call up for. Governments to. Reveal secrets to do.

They will be approved the latest attempt to destroy the case is based on claims that the cia illegally monitored conversations between the sanj and his lawyers it is now confirmed that legally privileged conversations between julie and his lawyers were spied upon and the recordings of that were were delivered to United States so that in itself should. Lead to dismissal it is a very long time ago that wiki leaks published the Video Evidence of American Forces attacking john lists and other innocent people in iraq evidence that in another context would be applauded as the uncovering of war crimes and classic Public Interest journalism 7 years holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy and a huge toll on a son has mental and physical health have offered him the status of a free speech masa to his supporters if not to sections of the british media and the governments a full 160 lawyers have signed a joint statement saying that there are no grounds whatsoever for this extradition to.

E. O. Said im deeply disappointed that we allowed insensitive and offensive images to be published on our website and then went on to apologize undeservedly for the hurt and anger that those images had caused but many people including a party like the saying thats not enough because for a country like south africa that has a history of colonialism apart and is still trying to navigate its way through being one of the newest democracies in africa just over 25 or 26 years old it is still a very sensitive period in south africa where there are a number of issues around Race Relations and black african saying that with its corporate south africa with its institutions or even the government at times that they have been prejudiced theres prejudice against them racism and that this is still an environment where black of whites are not adequately protected and understood and this again is an example where that has come to the fore we black people say black identity has been undermined in south africa with that but like that ok for me to think you for that update from johannesburg.
