Years election despite a court uploading a corruption conviction against him. Save the Children Charity suspends its operations in afghanistan following an attack that killed three of its staff. I just find your blind eye. Plus the u. S. Should not stop her sentence of one hundred seventy five years in jail for sexually abusing young girls and women. In london looking at the work of one of the greatest living photographers of our time a master of manipulation. But first a brazilian coulters op held a corruption and Money Laundering conviction against the former president lewis in the Lula Da Silva the popular politician known across the country as lula had appealed against a nine and a half Year Prison Sentence last year for Money Laundering and corruption. For me this court ruling is an opportunity to travel through brazil and have a dialogue with the brazilian people about what they have about what theyre losing and what i will have again in the future. Now i can see to everything that they are doing is to close the door to my candidacy this provocation is so shameful but now i want to be candidate for the presidency of the republic are his feet now to paolo sotero whos in washington d. C. Hes director of the Brazil Institute at the Woodrow Wilson center thank you for joining us so lula there seems defiance says despite the fact that the court has not only up held the conviction against him but increases sentence that hes will run in october as elections how can. He probably wants his appeals are not going to be sustained because the nature of this decision there is no difference between the three judges so there is a a difficult case of the former president has now and the coalition that supports him the coalition of order left it left party is has started already. Indicating that the day will not to wait for this process they want to present their own candidate so the former president has a very good very difficult road ahead of him but there is still some Legal Recourse for him that he can appeal to a higher court for instance kennie. Yes this is it this is done in brazil under the rule of law there are appeals to the electoral courts that will validate his candidacy or not and there is also recourse is on the merits of the case to the Supreme Court to the Appeals Court so all those will be pursued most experts agree though that chances of success are diminishing have diminished given the nature of this ruling today that was unanimous and as you mention has added years to his sentence but i mean this is the most spectacular fall from grace isnt that of the hottest brazils most popular politician of modern times. It is a sad moment for brazil because lula was indeed the first man of the people in a very divided an equal society to achieve electoral power federal power in his fourth attempt governing well initially bringing people together but later on distancing himself from his own ideals selecting a successor based on his own popularity that ended up being a disastrous choice for brazil plunging brazil in its worst recession ever and here we have brazil is now getting out of recession and people dont have i think patients anymore for this types of experiments in brazil remaining obviously it remains important to save the good part of his legacy but a little is a seventy year old politician brazilians are not really in the mood of going to the streets and protests the conviction the charges on corruption are pretty solid they have been reviewed by the courts they will continue to be reviewed by the courts revised by the courts but. We would be spectators and he is that this is the end of. Political life all right paulo sotero thank you very much indeed for joining us live from washington d. C. Now we can go to a lead today where the Court Proceedings that she took place in brazil our correspondent today said forest earlier you were surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of lula supposes what sort of reaction has there been in the country. This decision by the court to uphold the conviction. Well reactions here vary and it depends who you ask im not sure if you can hear but people have been celebrating with fireworks just until a few seconds ago when too many of those around the six of city they tell you that finally theyre seeing some justice done they see many of them as lula as the leader of a corruption scheme which is basically what the Appeals Courts said today but on the other side of the city you could see people disenchanted angry and ready to take to the streets theyre saying that the new love the sea level will continue to be very oppressive and that courts will not decide who brazils president is going to be they know that lula at this point has at least a thirty six percent intention of people voting for him and they say that he will continue fighting so that he is the candidate of the Workers Party today is a. Call to a lead in brazil thank you. Now the guy would save the children a suspended its operations in afghanistan following a deadly attack on its jalalabad office while forty six people in the building were rescued a soldier and three Staff Members were killed several others were wounded eisel has claimed responsibility jennifer glass rippled from the capital kabul. The attack began with a car bomb at the door of the state of the Children Office in jalalabad eastern afghanistan the gunman stormed the building for more than eight hours they battled Afghan Security forces while dozens of save the children staff were trapped inside the building was set on fire eventually Afghan Police and soldiers killed the attackers and rescued the staff afghanistan is one of the most dangerous places for children to be born following decades of war insecurity and poverty for twelve years save the children has worked with afghan communities to help kids arrive but the attack on the agencys office in jalalabad suggest its becoming increasingly difficult for staff to help afghans without becoming victims of the conflict themselves its quite possible to save the children would leave afghanistan and the onus is on the Afghan Government to provide security for the latest to to stick on aid worker security show that over the last fifteen years their jobs have become much more dangerous in two thousand and sixteen there were one hundred fifty eight attacks on aid organizations around the world in which one hundred to one hundred workers were killed ninety eight wounded and eighty nine kidnapped thats almost triple the number of attacks in two thousand and three south sudan is the most dangerous country for aid workers followed by afghanistan and syria the u. N. Humanitarian coordinator calls afghanistan one of the most challenging and dangerous environments for humanitarians in two thousand and seventeen seventeen aid workers were killed and thirty two injured Doctors Without Borders withdrew from the northern afghan city of could use in two thousand and fifteen after the medical charities hospital was mistakenly destroyed by a u. S. Airstrike and last year the International Red cross which is operate. In afghanistan for more than thirty years close to clinics and limited his operations nationwide after seven Staff Members were killed and others abducted now were in a very explosive situation i think where we know the Community Says communities can no longer guarantee our safety and our access and thats now where its becoming extremely difficult to know. Who we can rely on and thats thats the challenge today more so than in the last thirty years afghanistan is dependent on aid organizations if gunmen were to drive them out the Afghan Government cant support the social Services Programs on which millions of afghans depend save the children says it helps one point four million children in afghanistan and its committed to its work here the organization would like to restart its programs but it can only do so when its short staffed can work safely jennifer glass al jazeera kabul. Well al jazeera has been speaking to save the children c. E. O. And she told us that she is shocked and appalled by the attack and that such violence will not be tolerated. Well we have for now suspended our activities but rest assured that we are still committed to helping the Afghan People and particularly children in afghanistan we have been there for so many years and we know what we do there help millions of children survive be educated be protected so we will continue to do what we are doing in afghanistan this is a setback for sure and we will take us a long time to recover from this and we should never ever accept at tax on aid workers people who are spending their lives helping children this is very innocent work this is what that all parents would want for children this is work that help children survive and learn and be protected and i hope still am completely saddened by the fact that someone would try to stop this insight violent attack this was very violent issued never happen and of course this is a setback but we remain committed to helping the children in afghanistan and all over the world where save the children is working now for me us you nothing doctor has been sentence for sexually assaulting female athletes and patients for decades under the guise of medical treatment larry nasa was given a prison term of up to one hundred seventy five years for molesting girls and women and that was after a seven day hearing in which more than one hundred fifty victims spoke out about the abuse they suffered at his hands among them well the u. S. Olympian gymnasts raisman Mckayla Maroney jordan wieber and simone biles many of whom spoke of their relief at the outcome but said others needed to be held accountable for letting Matters Campaign of abuse continue. We need change. This needs to end here you see larry nascar had more than one a caplet he was not only enabled by imus you in usa v but they actually fed him his victims who else at a miss you had received reports of larrys behavior and did not act who else helped contribute to the greatest Sexual Assault scandal in history this report now from our correspondent john hendren its a me too moment that resonates throughout the world of sport if youre going to want.

Youre a pathetic monster that is only sorry you got caught the accusers included gold medalists some own byelaws alley reisman Gabby Douglas in Mckayla Maroney who statement was read by a prosecutor dr nasser was not a doctor he in fact was in for ever shout the a child molester a monster of a human being and of story. He abused my trust he abused my body and he left scars and my psyche that may never go away the victims anger went beyond nasser this monster was also the architect of policies and procedures that are supposed to protect athletes from sexual abuse for both usa gymnastics and the u. S. So see abusers your time is up the survivors are here standing toe and we are not going anywhere on monday three leaders of usa gymnastics the National Governing body for the olympic sport resigned under pressure among nassers latest accuser is byles one of the most decorated gymnast in olympic history on twitter she said she dreaded returning to the Training Center where she was abused this week usa olympics announced it will close the texas center that haunts are whether the organization can regain the trust of dozens of women who say it failed to protect them remains an open question.

S. In hollywood in broadcast television you have the Jerry Sandusky case a football coach at penn State University many victims there bill cosby the comedian the hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein as far as on the record victim goes this case dwarfs all of those combined and it is unprecedented to have seven days of victim impact statements one hundred and fifty six statements by victims after day three the defendant himself wrote the judge and called it a media circus he complained hell hath no fury like a woman scorned the judge as she was sentencing him and read that statement back to him crumpled up the paper and tossed it aside she said it was her privilege to sentence him to up to one hundred seventy five years in prison now moving on to the institutions that were involved in this only scandal affecting so many young women and there are three main institutions on this a father being a couple of resignations of do its had to be will head thoreau.

Officials have hit back against suggestions that Donald TrumpsAmerica First agenda is hurting globalization and trade the u. S. President himself is due to arrive at the World Economic forum in davos switzerland on thursday where there is a certain amount of skepticism over what he can bring to the table james spays has more from davus. High in the swiss alps this is the ultimate annual gathering of the global elite captains of Industry Business commas and finance have the talk fest every year here in davos see you might think the u. S. Is first a businessman president in decades would fit right in these are powerful people but they mostly do business in a sober and polite manner unlike trump they are the richest people and represent the most wealthy companies on earth but they tend to take a global view unlike trump the motto of the World Economic forum is working together in a fractured world in there and so he is hes not to be a representative of that philosophy the idea of America First is is the antithesis of that its the idea of you know raising one nation one community above those of all others and i think thats really whats.
