Today at the International Court of Justice she will listen to allegations that on her watch me and Mark emitted the grave risk of international crimes genocide if a fall from grace is been hard to take in so too is her choice to defend in person an army she doesn't control but travelling to the Hague to stand up for the country has been a popular move domestically in a predominantly British country where a hinge of Muslims a widely despised Democratic Party say 2 articles of impeachment against President Trump will be on very old true story of the House Judiciary Committee's Democratic chairman. Said that Mr Trump's conduct represented a threat to the United States John Sopel reports the rap sheet against the president is likely to consist of at least 2 charges abuse of power and obstruction of Congress others may follow this comes after Donald Trump's contentious phone call with his Ukrainian counterpart a number of u.s. Officials have alleged that the president threatened to block vital military aid until Kiev mounted a corruption investigation into the former Vice President Joe Biden and Democratic front runner for 2020 and his son Hunter who is the director of a Ukrainian gas company the president insists the call was perfect the Democrats say he abused his office for personal political gain briefly force in Chile says a military cargo plane with 38 people on board has disappeared had taken off from point to other arenas and was heading to Antarctica world news from the b.b.c. .

News. Thanks for the news Hello and welcome to News Day with Lawrence a lot uncanny sharp international justice a human rights icon and genocide a big story to kick off with then we're getting the latest on the volcanic eruption in New Zealand those presidential peace talks and the fighting in Ukraine and the u.k. Election and sports and business news for under way this is news day in this how about the number to Texas one plus 447-786-2050 extension 85. Like to begin with the legal matters Myanmar is being taken to court on charges of genocide against its minority population and and will attend the International Court of Justice in The Hague to lead her country's defense the i.c.j. Is in effect the United Nations World Court it sits on issues of country versus country rather than individuals this case is being brought by the Gambia on behalf it says of all countries concerned about genocide and in a move that a surprise many I'm saying Suchi herself is going to be in the Hague representing her country also in The Hague is our next guest international lawyer Philippe Sands q.c. Who has written extensively about the origins of the concept of genocide is now helping with the case warm welcome to the program Philip 1st off a very simple question why is this the arena for the issues to be raised because after all we've had extensive research from the United Nations and other N.G.O.s as well in-depth research about what has actually gone on why is it so important that the should take place at the i.c.j. Morning just to be clear on one of the council. And. This proceeding and I just want to be clear about that for your audience the cases brought under the $948.00 Genocide 1st post 2nd World War human rights treaty which commits its parties to the. And and to punish any act of genocide and it gives to the court that convention in article the power for the International Court of Justice result disputes and what's happened in this case is that the Gambia has taken the view that Nehemiah is engaged in genocide lots against certain members of its population the Rohingya group and that it has the right under the convention that is to bring proceedings to the Hague and to ensure that men Mark plies with its obligations under the convention ultimately no sanction against them though there is no police force that can punish them and if the aim is to try to help the range of what help will be brought by a distant legal case well I mean you've got to go back to the period before the 2nd World War there was no such international convention if individuals or groups were being targeted by their own countries there was absolutely no place to go what governments decided after $145.00 or so is that it was time to change that and so it's absolutely right there isn't an international police force but what there is the principle traditional Going to the United Nations which is the international court and what it has the power to do is over time in this case give a judgment on what is and is not happening but in the meantime the phase that's going to care of the next 3 days is called a provisional measures phase where has made an application that in the period before final judgment is given that men basically do nothing further to harm it's really population but that's kind of a statement of opinion isn't it or a sort of a desire again either is there nothing in forcible in this I'm just I'm just trying to get to the practicalities of how you're hoping to help that's all well firstly so difficult because the decision if the court orders provisional measures those will be legally binding so as a matter of international law men will be compelled to comply with them but it could have other consequences. As you know there are other proceedings International Criminal Court and also in some domestic courts in Argentina for example if the International Court of Justice rue that this is going on in the measures have to be taken that these genocide lights have to stop that will have a trickle down consequences the hope has to be and the expectation is that if me a month get such an order it will comply with the right in a vertically this is also giving. And her team a theater in which many analysts think they will boost her election prospects next year for standing up firmly for her country having done nothing wrong a position which as we say we've extensively heard on this program is actually very popular in Myanmar is that not an issue with if you like the theater of the occasion you end up actually helping the people who are accused Well you know one of the things when you're acting as Councilman you focus on the legal issues and the issues you've raised a broader political considerations which are like outside my knowledge my experience and my direct interest what's significant for today is that the International Court of Justice for only the 3rd time will hear a case alleging genocide the previous 2 cases were in relation to Bosnia and Croatia in the Bosnia case of course the court ruled that Serbia had failed to present genocide from occurring amongst other places actually Burnett and that has had significant consequences in trickle down consequences so it is a legal and a lot of people will be watching it and it's part of the slow step towards the rule of law in international relations and I take your point about being dispassionate and being a lawyer here but you were also a scholar and a historian and you've written very movingly about the origins of the concept of genocide something about which obviously you feel passionate and have written passionately about when you stand in court and I'm sorry to personalize it but there must be a personal element opposing a Nobel Peace laureate when you should be on the same side if human rights and these values a universal maybe doesn't it sort of lead you to question the University of these things they're obviously not universal in your sense for. Well you know each of us have multiple identities so I've got one identity as an academic writes books and I try to do things as independently as I can when you stand before an international court your job is to sort out facts and make legal arguments as dispassionately as you can you don't actually put emotion into it and you present young humans in a way that is as helpful as possible to the judges and which also you know is respectful of all the parties who are involved that there are in this case obviously serious allegations the evidence the factual evidence Gambians case is based on un reports a fact finding mission and on reports by the un special rapporteur and post parties and the United States Holocaust Museum have said the evidence shows genocide is being perpetrated those facts are painful facts and they will be and in court over the next few days and no doubt me and Mark will make its arguments in response it has a very good legal team and the court will then decide for the present q.c. Many thanks indeed international lawyer scholar and writer as well if you want a position from the Gambian government we'll be talking you'll be hearing from them and Ali going to sat down and interviewed one of the prime movers of this case in about 20 minutes time but for now thanks to Philip Sands. Let's go to New Zealand where the police say they believe there are no more survivors from an eruption on one of their country's most active volcanoes what Cari also known as white Thailand 5 people have been confirmed dead but at least 8 a slick unaccounted for it's now also been announced that the police will launch a criminal investigation into the deaths a short while ago I spoke to the B.B.C.'s Danny Vincent who's in the town. So I'm in the town of Fatah and in the background in the distance to my right so I can see the last reminder of black and grey ashes rising into the sky. Many people in this community are deeply saddened by the deaths have now been 5 confirmed deaths so this is very much a town in mourning but the same time the police have also announced a set to launch a criminal investigation into the deaths and injuries of the people the tourists that were affected by the eruption the place around 24 hours earlier why a criminal investigation while this is a town in mourning there was so many people asking questions about the circumstances surrounding this tragedy this volcano is known as an active volcano there's around 20000 tourists that come here every single year have been eruptions in the past but nobody here has seen anything like this before and there are some people asking questions and wondering if there is anybody at all that leads to be held accountable for what's happened Ok and just tell us a little bit about the rescue efforts Danny because they are still people missing How's that going that's right there are at least 8 people still missing and there are 5 people that have been announced as died now since yesterday there was a rescue mission when helicopters according to local reports landed on the island and managed to get many of the people out but since then they have been so surveillances from the air the prime minister says that there's very little chance that there's anyone left on the island alive but there are still people that are missing these are people that come from various different countries around the world this is a hotspot for tourism it's summer here in New Zealand and the season was just beginning to become popular and there are still people missing and there are families wondering where their loved ones are and when their bodies will be returned you said that the town was in a deep sense of feeling the sadness to the loss of these people what have people been telling you I've been talking to a few locals the standing around some people have been placing flowers across a fence and slowly looking across into the sea. The expression the calm before the storm is something that a few people have mentioned here that concerned the well this 1st tragedy has been awful it's been horrific some worry that it's possible that there could be a further eruption of this stage we simply don't know but we do know is experts say that it's simply too dangerous at the moment for rescue missions for the rescue missions to be in box upon him so it seems that at the moment this is a relatively quiet time but what we do know is the the people that sort of lost their loved ones they must be waiting very anxiously to find out if their bodies will be recovered That's the B.B.C.'s Danny Vincent in New Zealand 70 minutes past the hour let's get the sports hit with Matthew can you really fast no fans really for Friday Emberg a 31 win over West Ham United ends their run of 9 games without a win but heaps pressure on Hammers boss Manuel Pellegrini arsenal up tonight from the English Premier League West Ham just a point above the relegation zone elsewhere Russia's president Vladimir Putin denounced what he called a collective punishment for the bombing of the country by the World Anti-Doping Agency on Monday same Certain an appeal will be made to the Court of Arbitration for Sport and the n.b.a. Has rejected the appeal by the Houston Rockets over the dunk that never was that score by James Harden that the officials missed in their game against the San Antonio Spurs last week which then went to double overtime and ended in a loss for Houston the n.b.a. Said there had been a mistake by the officials but the Rockets had had time to recover in the normal course of the game not a great day for Houston on Monday they lost their latest game to a buzzer beating 3 pointer from the Sacramento Kings losing 119 to 118 Thank you Matthew more in 20 now Tullow Oil which once seen as a great hope for the energy sector across the African continent has suffered a disastrous day with it set share prices falling 72 percent a business reporter will be uneasy and can tell a small Yeah County disaster so much doesn't quite do it justice they also lost the chief executive and the chief expiration of so it's a pretty important role. No oil company as you say when one most of the world's large all firms were pulling out of exploration across Africa in the eighty's and ninety's Tullow a much smaller Irish firm continued to press on believing there was money to be made from some of consonants smaller oil fields became something of a pioneer striking deals to explore in countries including Senegal Ivory Coast Kenya Uganda and Ghana where hopes were pretty high for what could be achieved as this promotional video from the company outlines. Intel itself we have been there climb to progress and then continuously get Gagnon experience from around the world to come on board to work with that I think have a fantastic team on the ground here it's working very well you have a good relationship with the government and the people and I see a future in which this relationship to grow. The problem is that the the not relationship doesn't look like it is growing quite as quickly or is happily as the company was hoping Dawn is hugely dependent on the revenue from those oil fields as are many of the other countries around and around the region Colleen Smith energy analyst with the investment bank Pam you know Gordon explain a bit more about what had gone wrong 1st of all the company fell heavily in the wake of the disclosure that the oil they had discovered I was a much poorer quality than the market understood it to be and they've compounded that by announcing a significant reduction in their forward guidance for production in conjunction with forcing at the chief executive and the expiration director among other things that has 2 major interests in fields offshore gone one is Jubilee and the other is 10 and both have had operational problems and those are continuing and that's what the reduced production guidance is mainly driven by so further issues in terms of their ability to get the production out of those fields compared to what they had previously thought they would be able to achieve for a company like tallow bearing in mind that this is primarily operations related rather than to do with exploration this is very very substantial indeed. It's a major blow for the company which is now trading at a quarter of the value it was trading back in November so it's very serious and canny Collins misses a quarter of the value to give an idea that 13 pounds 741 share in 22012 today 70 pence if you want to share. This is news to 21 minutes past the hour we were looking ahead to a grand meeting in Paris between 2 presidents Selenski of Ukraine and Putin of Russia the meeting broke up they were meeting face to face for the 1st time basically to discuss the situation in eastern Ukraine of course held by pro Russian separatists $13000.00 people have died in that dragging on 5 years of the conflict there more talks might well be held in a few months time let's talk to where they wanted Rego's in who's been following events closely Russian journalist usually based in Latvia learned Welcome to the program to see anything significant in the outcome I mean there was a sort of a general statement one of those diplomatic niceties but do you think anything concrete comes out of this. I think it did and 1st of all it wasn't a change in the atmosphere all the readers all the 4 leaders who participated in the Normandy for a meeting where really our beats at the press conference yesterday. The concrete agreements our clients are more deaths than thirst of all their greed or not I disengage and troops along the front line in 3 part of the terrorists instead of along the whole front line as president would in suggested but he craned could not agree with that 2nd they agreed on the exchange of prisoners so all for all by the end of the year and 3rd they they'd agreed to continue to talk about a sequence of events that future in terms of the withdrawal of foreign troops and that of course they'd be in the Russian troops and the elections in local elections in the areas currently controlled by the Russians right and the elections is a big deal isn't it because we had a little bit of prisoner exchange a little bit of disengagement I'm pulling back before the talks as part of kind of confidence building measures but the Hasn't has there been any movement on this crucial issue of how the separatist areas hold elections and when. Well I don't think President would 10 presidents of landscape. Both both said that they couldn't agree at this particular point whether the and that's the main sticking point in the negotiations where there are the with withdrawal of troops theaters or the elections conference as has suggested by the means Greenstock to change effects and so Ukraine of course once that the troops be withdrawn tourist and ended actions because and Ukraine want to then exits because 36 hours after the withdrawal what do you think briefly learned about the personal dynamic hugely experienced negotiated not emit Putin complete novice on the scene Zelinsky How did that I mean obviously they had Mokoena Merkel there as well which must have helped but how do you think their personal relationship was. Well it wasn't obvious what your choice what kind of chemistry was there between them but I definitely noticed you know it as as was the case. Between Putin and the previous Ukrainian president . They sounded kind of unfriendly although I. Retort statements are a couple of times here in the press or but the problems between them do not look as insurmountable as they looked before a learned many thanks indeed Russian journalist based in Latvia closely watching the conflict in Ukraine also events there in Paris meeting between Putin and students learned Rego's and thank you. Now at 3 days to go until the general election in the United Kingdom we'll be bringing you special coverage of the results on Friday morning here on the b.b.c. World Service last night the B.B.C.'s Question Time programme held a special debate for young people they will lead is represented from all major parties discussing a range of topics Breck's it dominated some of the coverage but also the issue of whether the U.K.'s pasta the post system is out off a date for today's elected to the B.B.C.'s Emma bonnet talking to the younger voter about her desire for proportional representation Take a listen do you feel you have to play games with you about yeah I feel like people are forced if I talk to if they don't someone to keep a seat was I flip people to vote for who they want to. Be reflected So do you like the idea of alliances you've got the idea of perhaps look at so it is now of party standing down huge swathes of candidates to help other parties I fight but that wouldn't have to happen as much if we had to. Because then people would be able to vote for who they want to and it would be reflected Let's hope to tell who's the associate director of The Polling Company Brisson Thanks welcome to the program Lucy Jones. Think about younger voters how they like each vote in this election Hello good morning good morning and so when we look at those aged under sassy labor is far and above the most popular policy for this age group but what's really interesting actually is that the polling data is suggesting that quote from Labor has cooled slightly amongst younger voters compared to the 2017 election so in 201760 percent of those under 30 voted Labor Well the poor polls are currently sharing this around 51 percent intends to do the same this that Ok so what's changed their mind. And so qualitatively and focus groups what we're hearing at Britain things is that that just doesn't seem to be the same levels of support and excitement buzz around Jeremy Corbyn as the leader of the party in this election as we were hearing amongst younger people in 2017 so that really does seem to be at the heart of this that's really interesting because the Daily Telegraph a newspaper here in the United Kingdom leads with this headline it says the German Corbin could win without gaining a seat at the reality the conservative says is that Jimmy Coburn is much closer to becoming prime minister than many voters realise without then the majority support of the young voters. When the a so it's interesting in terms of the polling more generally I'm is that as we've seen throughout the campaign so far the conservatives have maintained a lead over labor and at the moment that lead is it's around 10 percentage points and so it is looking likely that the conservatives will win an outright outright majority on Thursday but with caution it is still to play for and a move in just a few percentage points could result in a hung parliament so the effect is really important in that sense and it could be really significant on Thursday but the key is really going to be turnout marks the Ok so it's all the young vote is going to be voting mainly on the issue of Brecht's it all of the issues more important to them that's really interesting actually look younger voters say Bracks it is as important as younger voters as it is to other audiences but one thing that makes younger voters quite different is how much they prioritize the environment say 42 percent of those under 30 list the environment is one of the top issues that they see is facing the country today and that's 15 percentage points higher than for the country as a whole say for many young writers actually this upcoming election may be just as much a climate election as it is the Bracks election as it's being billed quite popular leap. Very briefly. For their holidays around this time it is and what about what about that being an issue. Is the hardest thing to predict the lights and it's going to have a major impact so we know that younger people are generally less likely and it's promising though that voter registrations among young people are up. But it really doesn't necessarily mean that people on the day in the election is close to Christmas. And the weather forecast is. Very. Very good point will be drawn in the studio.

Thank you Neil Hello welcome to News Day from the b.b.c. World Service with Lawrence and county We'll start in The Hague in just a moment the Gambia on a well stage and over the next half hour we'll also head to Kenya to South Africa and to Switzerland and nothing can infer as the sports news with the final space is up for grabs for the knockout stages of the European Champions League Stay with us . And thanks to cheers in the Hague preparing to face judges at the International Court of Justice to defend her country against allegations of genocide Tuesday is the 1st of 3 days of hearings during which the Gambia will explain why it's requesting the judges to intervene to prevent any further acts of genocide against a range of Muslims in Rakhine province hundreds of thousands of people from the minority missile and population have been forced from their homes and into sporting refugee camps in neighboring Bangladesh the United Nations fact finding mission report described as a scorched earth policy implemented by the state Abacha do is the Gambian justice minister B.B.C.'s Anna Holligan asked him why Gambia decided to take this case to the Hague Well why not come here. Why should we need it of 2 orders to pick up the responsibility when we can do so why not international law is not just for the rich and powerful countries it is for also remissions you don't need to have military might or economic power to stand for justice to do what is weight under Gumby is using its moral voice to condemn these is genocide by me and my office on people I think it international community should do so. Warfield one that I can 994 we are feeling to hear again you talk about the Gambia but actually this is very much a personal mission for you as well as he said you were the prosecutor in there who wanted genocide. And he visited those camps in Bangladesh and it brought back memories so. In what way did that compel you to take this action against me m.r. Every government action every government decision starts with an idea and so it so happened that I visited the refugee camp in Bangladesh Cox's by and I interrupted we deal a few years and listen to their stories stories of helplessness in the face of mass killings of mass whip of mass torture of children been burnt a life on stories that are all too familiar to me from a dick and I they have interruption we disallow I've been victims of 9400 Genocide and I could smell the stench of genocide from across the border in Myanmar and I thought. This something has to be done about this the reason you're asking for this urgent injunction from the judges is partly as a result of the u.n. Fact finding mission reports what was it in that report that made you decide this this just can't wait the risk of the recall ends of genocide occurring it's kind of an unavoidable for the international community to look at this woman who is you know the Nobel Peace Prize laureates in 190196 seeing in the International Court of Justice denying a genocide on behalf of me in my. To work 6 days do you think on the phone with city's presence will detract from the actual issue if last thing to recognize is that unsung Suchi has what present it values that the Gambia is now for getting before the i.c.j. Values of justice of Westpac for human rights what we expected and since which you do is to be consistent and what we do now is very good to work for someone who was held in such high esteem even by people like me when I did my human rights advocacy work in the Gambia she used to be a source of inspiration among several authors on the water and it is disheartening to see how take a position which is now in defense of such such a horrible crime the crime of all crimes if anything as I think it will for the shop and focus on what is going on in Manama and perhaps exposed once and switchy under government of Myanmar the disgust of the international community to what is going on in How about yet and maybe perhaps this is due in court that she needed she needed to get out of her own Baghdad to come out here and to see for herself how do war sees how does this how do all seize the genocide that is going on in Myanmar Ababa caught somebody to be as justice minister talking to the B.B.C.'s Anna Holligan about events later today in The Hague. Now more trouble for the summer African economy the country's state owned rail company has been put into ministration transport minister. Has dissolved the interim board saying it had done nothing to improve services the passenger rail agency has been accused of irregular expenditure amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars For more we can speak to the Sunday Times journalist cañete Dunn hunted Welcome to the program and so many state owned companies failing left right and center we had South African Airways not long ago you have Eskom the energy company company because you had no lights across the country yesterday what's going on. You know you could take your pick you can ask about any state turned into pride in the response would be to say it's currently in a mess and there was a lot of promises when presidents were all over that he was going to fix the economy state owned enterprises and to have things are out we know that you know the deep corruption of the last 9 years. Was sort of primarily focused at state owned enterprises and you know the b. Companies you know. The rail agency process and so so you know there was some sort of optimism that yes we've come from the stock pos but they would be some plan to turn around it seems like there's no plan yesterday the poet to the announcing that it's you know going to intensify intensify. You know rolling blackouts called the president really right. Statement saying he's very upset and he's really concerned about. You know the status off the power. And the economy the secure it was of Africa now if you have the national carrier the airline you know in disarray you have. You have so many other enterprises this really doesn't bode well for any attempt to revive the economy. Ok so what are his plans what are the solutions you know what are the proposals that the government is going to put forward to try and rescue these companies. There's really no grand plan in place and that's what's making people so furious it's literally taking each day as it comes so yesterday you know the president dealing with you know the fact that Eskimos in states 6000000 people didn't have electricity for more than 8 hours and the same you know massive power station that he loaded earlier in the day as the future of energy security in South Africa was the same station that you know packed up late in the day so there's this whole lot of contradictions really a lot of at stake in this seems to be no real plan as to how to take it forward it's literally limping from day to day as they try to find solutions to deal with that day not look at long term solutions but the president saying that you know they will have to do the Tokyo something called radical restructuring of state owned enterprises we don't know what that means right especially I was going to suggest what about shutting down state owned companies and privatizing it all. So the reality of it is that he will not be in the battle of privatizing especially with the as come the labor labor movement his own party. So that's not even an option. Of of the national carrier is in a very precarious 2nd stance they currently and the business risk you as they try to salvage whatever they can be pay some debt and then and then find it. But the reality of it is that any attempt any talk of privatization is not on the table for the opposite ministration as he's pocky will not allow showing very briefly and very you know bad news left right and center but at least on Africa won the Miss Universe title. So. We were saying yesterday that you know even. Keeps messing up the people as we would Miss Universe said so and the Rugby World Cup after thank you for that. Must be a sore point for you fit but but I mean it was it was it was quite phenomenal day to celebrate that when. You know the Miss Universe coming from the rural part the east Ok yeah and the kind of presence she had stated the peds positive message she had for women in parliament really blew me away thank you very much that skinny to hunt the Sunday Times journalist in South Africa I'm sore about it but I should have said you are Joyce in 17 minutes after the hour it's time for the sport Matthew Kenyon. Hi folks finally Arsenal fans have got something to cheer about. The last national attention was. In the box. But was. Happy with it was. No wind game shock a 31 victory in their English Premier League match against West Ham United last night to end a run of 9 games without a victory which saw previous post deny Emery lose his job quite a turnaround in the 2nd half because they were as poor as they've ever been in the 1st period so still a lot to think about to stand in Boss Freddie we have a lot to work for a lot of things that we can see that when you get on the training pitch to fix but at least they've 'd been under a lot of pressure for weeks and weeks and we've been having one so. That's a mental strength and do that today away from what was a long time ago so it's clear from the small football later today we return to the European Champions League this week reigning champions Liverpool still have work to do is they go to read by. Salzberg a draw will see them through but if they lose they'll be out unless Napoli lose to Hank into Milan will go through if they beat Barcelona who's left out. From their squad because they're already great winners to overhaul him in the full Dortmund need of better result against Slavia Prague than into get against. Now the World Anti-Doping Agency's decision to ban Russia for 4 years meaning Russian teams won't be able to compete at the major global sporting events including the Olympics and probably the football World Cup as well as been attacked from both sides Russia itself is likely to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport President Putin said on Monday it was a collective punishment which wasn't acceptable but on the other side there are many including some athletes who say that Wanda didn't go far enough and that the likely ability of some Russians to take part in events under a neutral flag in a different name was allowing a crooked system to get away with it amongst those latter is the head of u.s. Anti Doping Travis Tygart And here again powers within Russia that initially pulled off a sponsor continued to violate the agreement save enter into with the World Anti-Doping Agency and the sports community in the Olympic movement and continue to ensure that the cover up of that state system still exists and so it's simply history can't repeat so we need to draw a line and put in a consequence it's actually going to have changed behavior and I mentioned Houston's narrow loss in the n.b.a. Brayton on the buzzer by the Sacramento Kings were looking super but the top of the standings in the league the Milwaukee Bucks now 15 games one on the trot with 110 to 101 victory over Orlando in last night's Tonight 1930 g.m.t. . Now Sudan says its Thank you Mom says it's close to agreeing a settlement with the families of those killed in the 1998 u.s. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania the attacks claimed by al Qaeda killed 224. People including 12 Americans and Saddam was accused by the United States of providing support to the film al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden who was then based in hot to a settlement would be one of the last steps in getting Saddam removed from the u.s. List of Spawn's a state sponsors of terrorism it comes after the new Prime Minister Abdullah Doc visited Washington at Cameron Hudson a former u.s. Government adviser on Africa has met the Prime Minister on this visit I asked him firstly to remind us of how Sudan was linked to the bombings Well Sudan hosted the al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden back in the mid ninety's and it was during his time in Khartoum under the protection of the Sudanese government that he plotted and helped to carry out the attacks against the u.s. Embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and against the u.s.s. Cole in the Horn of Africa so the government was sponsoring the acts of of al Qaeda when those acts were carried out Ok so you've spoken to the prime minister what did he say with regards to paying back this debt so the prime minister views these debts these illegal judgments against the government or the state of Sudan any other kind of debt that the government of those to the international community so whether that's to the World Bank or to the i.m.f. For loans and borrowing that the previous government did he views the terrorism debts us legal institutions in very much the same way so that the debts of the previous regime have have been passed on to the new government in Sudan the problem is though that Sudan is in huge debt itself which is going to get the money from you that's a that's a that's a good question and I think I think there are actually lots of ways and places that should and to get money inside of Sudan let's remember that at least 40 percent of government spending goes to subsidies for things like wheat and sugar and diesel fuel. Signees pay far less for a leader of petrol than you do in the u.k. Or we do here in the United States and so if they would reduce some of those subsidies they could easily find of 500 $1000000000.00 that was that was owed to these institutions there are lots of other ways they could they could do that by taxing companies that are currently not taxed by taking over parts of the economy that are controlled exclusively by the military so there's a lot of ways that the government could I think ring free the money required to pay these debts now when you're looking at the embassy attacks you know $224.00 people were killed in Kenya and Tanzania including 12 Americans the u.s.s. Cole bombing killed 17 soldiers wounding many out this who exactly will be compensated Kenyans Tanzanians Oh exclusively Americans so think of this as I think of this in similar terms to the Lockerbie settlement that Khadafi mate so that was an American Airlines flying over Europe it was mostly u.k. Nationals and u.s. Nationals settlement went to those nationals and did not go to to anyone else and so that's that's a similar kind of case that that the u.s. Is using as an analogy here so the settlement the legal cases that were brought were brought by American victims in an American court and are owed to those victims who brought the case if there are Kenyans or Tanzanians who are a part of those lawsuits and there were some they would be entitled to do settlements as well at the time of the original attack in the time of the original settlements there were victims funds set up that amounted to almost I think $250000000.00 that were dispersed locally at the time I know of no other provisions right now going forward that would that would redistribute funds locally for me us government advisor on Africa Cameron Hudson. This is New Day It's 10 minutes to the on the Cameroon government to shut down more than 260 schools that have been operating informally in the country's Francophone regions the schools have been opened to help absorb students fleeing the separatist uprising in Cameroons English speaking regions the B.B.C.'s Kilian gala travels to the economic capital Douala where about 100 unregistered institutions have been closed. On the walk to school in a suburb of the world but these are not local children there are most thousands who have fled the fighting in Cummins English speaking regions and they have been for memories. Because. We are in school. Even though the physical disease finding is called is not so easy journey is 11 and this is the 2nd his attendance since his parents brought him to do other His mother then told me how desperate she has been over her son's education Oh that's cool and I was broken. So we had to minus again this. Is a 4th but this 2nd school is also operating illegally it's one of many don't have opened to accommodate the influx of English speaking learners displeased from the northwest. We visited one of them arriving as the children managed to the national anthem. Owner declined to speak to us he fears being shut down because he didn't have the legal documents to operate critics of the government's there is not offering any alternatives for the children when they crack down on the schools but the. District Silvestri the night of these are very. Necessary and in there. The minister of secondary education gave parent teacher associations the Express offer as Asian to build more classrooms in various schools these days my belies enormous resources to build new classrooms as a result the problem of the influx has been resolved in the worry for instance all the children have found a classroom. Yet many of the available classrooms are already out of a crowded because of these and the struggle to pay fees some of the newly displaced parents are turning to home tutors to save their children's school year Cloten were a father of 7 is one of them. To feed them to decide not to look more private it is just. I don't have money they don't take him seriously or she is too hard it's no way we have to soften that by and what if any have come come to us we shouldn't allow. People flee to separatist fighting the education crisis is not going to disappear and stars and of children already traumatized by conflict may have nowhere to go to learn. The World. And report there by the B.B.C.'s Killian. This is news day 5 to the out is talk about change real change through the medium of some young women who have brought change about activists are meeting in Geneva to share their experiences on how they bring change on social issues things like child marriage environment human rights and it's being hosted as you'd expect by the United Nations the summit is aimed at highlighting what young women can actually achieve as drivers of change one example and one of the people who would be there is memory bunda 23 year old from Malawi who's been campaigning particularly on the issue of raising the legal age of marriage from $15.00 to $18.00 little bit earlier she told us what it meant it was very hurtful young Gayle's to. Kill those would be married all. Young age us young not 11 as young as 18. Actually dropped out of school and through the change that I have seen now get being able to get out that it will do house if they do you know unlocked which has been a tremendous change memory band among those hosting the campaigners in Geneva is Dr Natalia kind of who is head of the u.n. Agency that deals with sexual and reproductive health and f.p.a. And obviously that is one of the main issues that the campaigners have been working on Dr welcome to the program what is it that makes a campaign an effective memories there who we heard has managed to bring about change talking about her example what is it that she did that meant that she could actually change social attitudes. 2 things One is the masses young people being well equipped in order to deliver the truth about the situation so for facing them something that memory does very well because in fact every single day 33000 girls are forced into marriage and after the message is the messenger when you have someone with the energy when you have someone with the commitment that memory exemplifies this is when young people get energized and they understand that it's time to allow them to lead and that they equip themselves to do this well right but how can she cut through when for example there is a prejudice against young people in many societies having a say and also of course fundamental prejudice against women having their opinion as well so how has she managed to come through. When young people are excluded by decision makers it's not only to protection and to young people it's also to the detriment of the whole of society and the future generations what you want to be a has been doing is trying to bring the right information on the right type of preparation because people especially young people need confidence they need experience and have to have. Guidance to allow them to lead a positive change in the world what we have been focusing on in particular just allow them to have experience in order to have experience you have to sit at the table you have to learn how to deliver that message in a way that makes noise but in a way that people can hear yeah and also you have to negotiate you have to be aware of who you're talking to if you're talking to I don't know older men don't annoy them you know might be one sometimes I just go on a loudly to disagree alter needs to be annoyed when you are talking about life and death. Young people have the obligation to speak their truth and this is not always going to be a question for our generations here but they have the full set of human rights that everyone else does so I trust them with leading what is in fact a fight for the planet and a fight for the fundamental principles of human rights and this is what Human Rights Day to Day is about. People to speak out and everyone should have the right to annoy older men absolutely Well it's a big important point isn't it how they respond isn't important but a congratulations to memory who joined us a little bit earlier you had a little extract of her talking to only consider and thank you very much indeed as well to the head of the u.n.
