Is a terrorist organization so does the European Union. If any reason and logic and honesty any justice with to be done today the ten people who will walk into the courtroom indicted will walk out of it free people who dont believe the u. S. And the e. U. Are with us if human rights defenders are created for this kind of thing turkey will rapidly see itself understood seen as a rogue state heading in a desperate heel thirty areon direction. If the us and e. U. Were with us they wouldnt protect terrorists its the toughest Justice System and the toughest so far it is that are on trial here today. Also coming up more than half a century after the assassination of u. S. President john f. Kennedy washington is about to release to the public the final batch of secret documents that have been walked away. Down this avenue of sadness neighboring president john f. Kennedy market hero to lie in state one of the great dome of the capitol. Conspiracy theorists historians and hollywood have debated the events that led to the death of camelot will these unclassified documents finally offer a nation and the world closure. But we begin the day inside a turkey where those least likely have become the usual suspects the trial of eleven human rights activists began today in istanbul now they stand accused of helping terrorists including the cleric fatah and who lives in the u. S. And has been called the mastermind behind last years coup attempt of the arrest of the suspects including a german and a Swedish National have tested the pain threshold in relations between turkey and the European Union like never before some say the verdict could also deliver the final blow to turkeys dwindling ambitions to ever join the e. U. Our coverage takes us tonight to stamboul he stumbles palace of justice as the trial began activists demonstrated for the release of german. And ten other defendants including the head of and the national in charity for holding a workshop the Rights Group Says the charges are trumped up workshops music paid by worship in question is like those held around the world but here its being treated like a gathering of conspirators and criminalized it shows just how much turkish law is being instrumentalist. Instrumentality at that. Page and the other defendants were arrested in july show it was conducting a seminar in Data Security at the time. Turkish prosecutors allege that their actions aided the movement and the kurdish p k k which are considered terror groups in turkey. And had been lecturing about encryption methods at the time of his arrest. If convicted he could face up to fifteen years in prison. If the indictment sounds like a collection of conspiracy theories. And his friends are not acquitted today that will further strain german turkish relations this is an avowed to the scarlet soon to a friend in. The german Human Rights Commissioner along with german politicians are urging the Immediate Release of short now they say the move could help improve strained german turkish relations. Our correspondent jones has been covering the proceedings for us he joins us now from is stamboul dorian what more can you tell us about this latest Development Well this really has taken everyone by surprise the head of the trial hearing today there was hope by amnesty officials that some of the friends could be released from pretrial detention but little hope was given to peter given the very bad relations with lin and for all the day the prosecutor seemed to give evidence or indication he would make this move but the sea took everyone by surprise calling for the. Long of a number of vendors to be released and the judge has agreed and there is a great deal of celebration among supporters in the country do we have any idea what could have prompted the judiciary the prosecutor to make this move. Well this is the big question everyone is asking especially given the fact that the president or jeff type of one world stuff a tirade against europe accusing him of meddling in turkey the fed and that was seen as a signal that would be Little Movement by the prosecutor on the months old the release of these defendants but i think people are increasingly talking about this story that is circulating in turkey everything by International Media suggesting the burden was on the ready to crack the financial whip by putting pressure on International Lenders not to lend money to turkey to human life have really on the borrowed money from abroad and already the turkish lira him free fall reaching record lows people are now connecting those two stories and possibly there is a sign that unquote could be looking to some sort of approach mom with lynn and dorian that we have heard a lot in the reporting leading up to this trial that the verdict that we get out of this trial could be key for the future of turkey in terms of being a part of the west being a member of the European Union i mean how valid is that argument that so much change on the decision that comes from this trial. I think that is a bit of a stretch there is so many contentious issues that he has with your just leaving just even on the human rights question there are many very contentious cases that are still going on this case itself is still going on though is very important that they have been released from pretrial detention you have to realize that there are ten of german nationals languishing in jail according to the german chancellor Angela Merkel because of political reasons there are also u. S. Citizens in jail again over allegations of political motivation there is a plenty of work to do to start repairing relations with its ally thought it has to be said this could be a turning point it all depends what follows up on this all if it carries on with its crackdown took ethan creasing the acting in. In particular its judiciary so its very hard to predict what the next step will be but people will be looking thing this is the a possible chance of turkey at least checking it to a human rights situation our correspondent joe johns on the story for us tonight from istanbul dorian thank you very much i well from political crackdown in one country to an almost political breakdown in another tomorrow voters in kenya will return to the ballot box for a president ial Election Rerun the Supreme Court know all the last Election Results in august amid protests of vote rigging that ended in thirty seven deaths but it doesnt look like a second try will be different from the first even members of the countrys Electoral Commission have said and im quoting here a fair and free election cannot be guaranteed. On my day or heroes day kenya celebrates those who fought for independence people from far and wide came last friday to nairobis main park to listen to president hu hu kenyattas address the event is usually filled with pomp and color with children getting the most out of the entertainment but this year and easiness hangs over kenyans including james drug and his family. After the Supreme Court and all the elections theres been a lot of tension but we pray to god that we will have an election and have peace. And vera after. That is the best you can use electric commission has faced numerous challenges since the announcement on september first the chairman of the commission has not quite conceded that hes under siege and still insists the commission can deliver an election on the twenty sixth the Main Opposition Party insists the Commission Must get its house in order before it holds an election opposition supporters have taken to the streets demanding reforms within the commission but government supporters like james say the Electoral Commission is already capable of organizing a repeat poll. Were like troll commission should stay as it is and shouldnt be changed its independence and it will respect the democratic rights of kenyans i believe there will be voters in every polling station in the country. I think. As we approach the twenty sixth of october kenya remains a divided country on one hope you have a population that is willing to support incumbent president to who kenya and his family party and the other half of the population that the boards made up of the right. Now according to this part of the population they claim that income the president has a few of them from his government and pete. In two thousand and thirteen. An informal settlement in the capital is a perceived opposition stronghold supporters of right loading snapped this years celebrations most stayed indoors mourning those killed opposition protests with no i cannot vote with an order from i cannot vote i voted last time they came you have a short people and i want that im not voting because i like to do what im not into many of the everything thats happened and again i read my constitution i look at me confusion everywhere i go to them i dont have you to do what i want to understand what is fair and i understand so im not going to vote and im going to predict other people like my mother who didnt go to school who doesnt understand anything until i do what. The Kenyan NationalHuman Rights Commission says Police Killed at least thirty three opposition supporters in protest during the election in august this number includes seven children there are fears men will die both sides stand their ground. And those who know it you know it goes back to you youre born into a tribal and right form i just mean youre born thinking the way appliance to politically even actually gotten into this political thinking and and socialization of of other people with their tribe and parties dont represent me. To insist the elections must go ahead and has ruled out dialogue with ryan who is the pool heavy Police Presence is expected on voting day as kenyas future hangs in the balance. Of the us and the public splitting of a Political Party yesterday senators joe corker and jeff flake took criticism of President Trump to a new level a level that no elected republican congressman has yet to tread until now the senators accuse trump of the basing the country by being quote utterly untruthful. The full throated attacks started with corker and were then followed by flakes shock announcement that he will not run for reelection here is what mr foley said about his own divided party and its outlook i think that. This speller fever that were in right now. That it is more about your your tone. Than your policies will abate will change and so i do think that you know resentment is not a governing philosophy at some point youve got to actually have policies that work not just rile up the base and so yeah i do think the party will come back around otherwise it will be a Minority Party for a long time that was senator flake they are going to pull in our correspondent now in washington good evening to you cover leader we we just heard u. S. Senator flake there warning that his partys future could be at stake i want you to compare that with what White House Press secretary Huckabee Sanders said when she was asked about this unprecedented attack by fellow republicans on the president. Got in an individual and the president hes a fighter weve said it many times before the people of this country didnt elect somebody to be weak they elected somebody to be strong and when he gets hit hes going to hit back all right so that was her answer i mean she did not even address the subject of the criticism she did not signal any peace making desires from mr trump whats the message here trump is the Republican Party now either you follow me or you leave is that what were hearing. And that is really interesting it seems like it is indeed whether senators are with trump follow his speech and share his main messages or they speak up against him and then they can really forget about his support for the primaries next year and therefore forget about a victory in their constituency in november next year and this is also why jeff flake made it very clear during his speech on the senate floor we just heard part of his speech but it is also very important to stress and to point out that jeff flake has been criticizing donald trump for more than a year now he published in the book a best selling book this summer titled conscience of a conservative and here his main message is that the president vowed to work to defeat him flake if he saw reelection next year so this has been a surprisingly culmination of what flake has been criticizing for many months now it is very very important also to point out the role of steve benen. Not to forget the role of this former white house chief of gees bend on who is leading a rebellion against. Republicans and there are some conservative outsiders who are really emerging nationally and they are in hired by a band and my tram and this national is populist ideologies they have you know the split of the party their work three senators lashing out at trial but all three are not running for reelection what have you heard there in washington about the fact that it appears republican members of congress are only willing to say what they really see when they or no longer afraid of the ballot box. Why yes this appears to be the case senator flake put it very clear yes it day also when he said the bottom line is if i were to run a campaign. That i can be proud of and where i didnt have to close the app to the president and his positions or his behavior i could not win in a republican primary it is also very important to point out that donald trump still has around eighty percent support among republicans that means our own eighty percent of the people who identify themselves with the Republican Party approve of the way donald trump is housing his job as a president of the United States and this means that polls show that the most important issue to republican primary voters is to show support for donald trump so to make the answer to your question a bit shorter yes only senators who are not longer afraid of the ballot box that would speak out against president on the term that seems to be the trend that were seeing in washington right now where correspondent carol the interim or on the story for us tonight its really a thank you. For you as President Donald Trump is in dallas this wednesday because that is where our next story has had its tragic beginning dallas texas november twenty second one thousand nine hundred sixty three now those of you who were alive at the time can probably recall immediately where you were when you heard the news j. F. K. Had been shot and killed you will also recall the Unanswered Questions that linger more than half a century later or trump between did today that more or less said today that he was prepared to go well the National Archives to release the files the last secret files unless any information emerges which prevents them. And tomorrow finally the government will release that last batch of secret files relating to the investigation of kennedys assassination Congress Passed the j. F. K. Assassination records collection act in one thousand nine hundred two now that wall was partly inspired by the fear or over oliver stones movie j. F. K. Released the Previous Year it says that all documents should be made public by the twenty sixth of october two thousand and seventeen at the latest the trove is expected to include more than thirty thousand classified documents that were previously redacted and some three thousand which had never been seen before. Were looking at images here from that fateful day november twenty second one nine hundred sixty three when the gunman Lee Harvey Oswald shot us president kennedy dead. But with the release of those files will the truth about that fateful day also be brought to light im joined now by the New York Times bestselling author Anthony Summers his j. F. K. Biography not in my lifetime is considered one of the definitive books on the assassination and the investigation mr summers is good to have you on the show you have dedicated so much of your professional life to this story what are your feelings tonight on the eve of the release of this final trove of secret documents. Well of course ive been a journalist and and reporter and nonfiction also all my life so any public release of things that should be in the open is always welcome but we should not get too excited there was an earlier release back and to lie which of many many documents that they turned out not to be very interesting tool there are a lot of people in the United States especially the famous circle of circle conspiracy theorists who are avid lee hooking that seems really interesting bombshells will come from that and i have my doubts they might be much more mundane than that but one has one hopes that there are things that one would really like to know more about. Timing but we hear all the time in this business is is everything and you know it reminded me today of what she Justice Earl Warren on the u. S. Supreme court what he said in one thousand nine hundred four he was asked if all the evidence uncovered by his investigation if it were would be released to the public and his answer was yes there will come a time but it might not be in your lifetime is that where we are now has that time come. Well as i think you know i use that that the that phrase of his perhaps not in your lifetime as the title of my book because i highlighted in the book that there were still a lot of documents but to clearly cia documents and f. B. I. Documents that were being withheld so it is very relevant and relevant to me because its what i like the release of the documents is what i called for in my own book. And you were close did about your book someone asked you about sleep Harvey Oswald and your response was why if it was oswald alone him being the lone gunman do one thousand one hundred seventy one cia documents on the subject remain classified there is no doubt something was and still is being concealed. Do you expect then based on that you expect then something to be uncovered through this release tomorrow pertaining to mr Lee Harvey Oswald. I dont either we should get our hopes up too much but i did notice in your introduction you stated as a flat fact that the assassin was Lee Harvey Oswald that may be so. Im not necessarily a conspiracy theories. But i think that some form of conspiracy aiding abetting oswald or putting oswald up as a front that may be possible what is particularly sensitive and what many people hope to hear more about from these releases is a visit that oswald made to mexico city in two in september one thousand nine hundred sixty three just two months to full of the the assassination and there is genuine mystery about that such mysteries that members of the Warren Commission which came up with the initial members of the start of the Warren Commission which came up with the initial no conspiracy learned gunman theory have said that they felt betrayed by the fact that the. Cia withheld from the commission the information that they were at that very time trying the us was trying to kill field cradle castro which page one into theorizing we havent got time for it to save me but theorizing on the one hand that whole oswald may in some way have been true they may be of an attempt to get him to assassinate fidel castro and on the other hand that castro himself may have been trying to tell the United States dont try to kill me because we can also try to hit you and that in some way. Harvey oswald who was a tool was used as a pawn on the transport. There are things very complex things about the mexico incident and the makers of the building more about that and its interesting weve heard from washington sources that the cia and the f. B. I. Have been lobbying the the white house a lot not to allow these final documents to be released. Do you think its because of what could be revealed and that is a secret service that maybe just was caught off guard and wasnt doing its job is that what could be motivating their reluctance to see this all come to light completely possible and also just because intelligence agencies dont want that sources and methods to be used to be revealed although one would think that after this enormous period of time of the century that nothing would apply now and that that applied back in the sixtys and seventys. Dark there is a knot of mystery about what happened in those weeks before the assassination and it is. To be hoped that well get more of it when these documents not tomorrow and not in the next few days and less researchers are very fortunate and just happen to hit on the very things one would like to find there are thousands of pages coming out and i think sensibly you know one could expect to have a way. Real a real understanding of what is being released i have seen in two months three months or missing some of them have a shorter showed more running were running it well im like to talk with you more but were almost out of time Anthony Summers author of not in my lifetime mr summers if something does come out tomorrow please come back and talk with us again on the day wed like that well the day is nearly done but as ever the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter either at u.
