According brazil has held a conviction against the former president louis enough to silver the corruption the Money Laundering this is a major setback for his plans to run again for the presidency but he insisted he will seek reelection in october so there is a bow report from the Southern City of porto alegre. But. These people are standing by. Theyre convinced he will be brazils next president despite a courts ruling that makes it almost impossible for him to run. The risk distance will never die we lost the battle but not the war precedents twenty eighteen. Maybe. Even equivalent. In the country. It was and you might run t. V. Again on wednesday an Appeals Court upheld his conviction for corruption and Money Laundering even increased the sentence to twelve years and one month one of the judges said there is no doubt that the former president was involved in a corruption scheme. I looked at these questions one by one reaffirming specifically that the issue of culpability is the largest vector for the sentence and i consider culpability to be extremely high in this case. It happened in the city of port city where extreme security measures were taken to prevent clashes between supporters and those who backed the courts decision. In sao paolo brazils economic capital many celebrated. Thinks he shouldnt be investigated because hes god all his companions are behind bars and are incriminating him we want justice should be arrested he must be convicted. Is now seventy two he was prisons first working class president and is credited with lifting millions out of poverty. The courts judgment complicate his chances of making it to this years president ial race but lula remains defiant. It isnt. For me the School Ruling is an opportunity to travel through brazil and have a dialogue with the brazilian people now i can see that everything that theyre doing is to close the door to my candidacy as provocation is so shameful but now i want to be counted for the presidency of the republic brazilian law bans candidates who have been convicted from running for office. There are two legal moves you like and make to avoid prison and to fight to be allowed to run in octobers election. But for many that will now be tougher than his supporters would like to what makes. The case that will. Lead to. A top u. S. Diplomat has quit an international Advisory Panel which was set up to tackle the ranger crisis calling it a whitewash Bill Richardson was once considered a close friend of unfun through cheney but is now dismissing the panel as a cheerleading operation for me amals leader and accuses her of lacking moral leadership mia mass as it was saddened by his departure many on a honda has more. Hes one of americas most experienced diplomats a former u. S. Politician and reportedly a friend of the suci but Bill Richardson sudden departure from an Advisory Panel on the hinge of crisis shows just how much that relationship may have soured i dont want to be part of a white war. And i felt as best that i resign immediately richardson said he didnt want to be a part of what he described as a cheerleading operation for suchi aimed at validating hiromi range of policies rather than honestly investigation the actions of me and miles military richardson was an International Heavyweight on the team member panel chosen he says by suchi herself he quit before the panel made its first visit to western Rakhine State dismissing that as just a photo opportunity the u. N. Estimates more than six hundred eighty thousand range of muslims fled a military crackdown from late august last year survive a spike of atrocities including mess murder rape entire villages raised me and maintains it was responding to attacks from mom groups suchi one celebrated as a champion of human rights is heavily criticized over the crisis richardson is now adding his voice to that criticism accusing her of reflecting moral leadership she believes theres a concerted International Effort against me amar and i believe she is wrong blames all the problems that we have mars having on the international media. On human rights groups. On other governments. Richardson city was also alarmed by her response when he raised the issue of two reuters journalists wristed in yangon in december that been investigating the written job crisis i was very happy and distressed right downtown for the reaction to my point that this issue of reuters journalists being treated fairly and rapidly. Brought almost an explosion on her part a former top diplomat richardson is nonfinite goshi a team with some of the worlds most formidable regimes including Saddam Hussein and the government of north korea but this time hes chosen to walk away a decidedly undiplomatic departure media on one hand here in our lets go live now to our correspondent scott haile hes in bangkok but scott youve been covering the issue of of me amar and the range of people in the the crisis that has been unfolding for the last six months or so. How much of a setback then is Bill Richardsons departure and indeed his words of criticism of the panel. Martin i think right now the way you can look at it the only way you can really look at it is this new commission the just really went into action this week has fallen on its face out of the gate because he was the most high profile diplomat on this ten Member Commission and obviously he was kind of going to be used to to show you know International Legitimacy to the investigations the implementation this commission was more focused on the implementation of a Previous Commission led by kofi annan the former secretary general the United Nations so this commission was supposed to implement those recommendations and obviously you know kind of in this very dramatic resignation that we just saw that stumbled right out of the gates how do they recover from this thats going to be very difficult its pretty ironic i would say that you know i would imagine on song suchi handpicked Bill Richardson to come on to this commission to be part of this commission for International Legitimacy and hes leaving just for one of the main reasons he said because she believes that there is this International Conspiracy against me and mar so right now i would say obviously theres going to be some some rethinking of how this commission can gain any legitimacy and move forward with their their mandate and that is to start to implement these recommendations from the kofi anon were kind commission its pretty interesting is that from what Bill Richardson is saying the point of real contention between the two of them was over the fate of the treatment of the two russias gentleness. Absolutely and when he went into that a little bit more thats when what i was talking about when she felt as though that theres an international almost conspiracy against her and her government and me anymore because of whats been coming out in the media and thats obviously why these two warders journalists are are going through the situation of going through and being charged with what theyre being charged with taking secret documents from an official in recounts they were investigating what was going on in Rakhine State and they could face up to fifteen years that trial is ongoing their next hearing is probably going to be in about two weeks time so again i would imagine thats and as Bill Richardson himself said it became a very fiery conversation that was a hard line for her and obviously that was a hard line for him because he feels as though Going Forward for this to to be handled the best way possible there needs to be transparency and right now there is not so he felt as though that the the situation with the reuters journalists should be brought up should be discussed she was hard line about that she felt as though this is part of International Conspiracy against her government and thats why you know i would imagine probably either the beginning of the end for Bill Richardson or right then and there he said ok thats it i need to leave but but obviously moving forward the myanmar government unsung suchi really needs to figure out how this commission can regain any type of religious didnt see after what happened even without his first trip to work on state Martine Scott who live in bangkok thank you. Now the global child she thinks that children suspended its operations in afghanistan a deadly attack on its jalalabad office forty six people in the building. A soldier and three members of selfwill killed several others wounded i feel has claimed responsibility for glass reports from the capital kabul. The attack began with a car bomb at the door of the state of the Children Office in jalalabad in 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 that 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.

S. Airstrike and last year the International Red cross which is operated 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 note the Community Says communities can no longer guarantee all safety and all roxas 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 eight organizations here 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 aljazeera kabul.

The u. S. President says hes willing to be interviewed by investigators looking into alleged collusion between his president ial campaign and russia donald trump told reporters he was looking forward to speaking to special Counsel Robert Mueller under oath subject to his lawyers approval or is leading the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty sixteen u. S. Election castro has the latest from washington. A sense of confidence and optimism is what trump projected at least publicly he spoke to a group of reporters informally while at the white house. You know you certainly hear that if you dont believe what. Is not struck you are. Looking for you i believe you have a reason to look like you. And you know you are in of course you heard that important call vs that trump inserted there subject to the advice of his lawyers and the fear among. Legal team is the president s penchant for hyperbole and for half truths and even lying to the American Public and to the news media for which hes paid little consequence politically but in a room before investigators and is under oath it is a different matter altogether and there is a fear that trump may perjure himself and he does not stick to the straight and narrow facts and the truth the fact though that this investigation has left at this point bringing the president himself face to face with investigators is an indication of the the circular motion of investigators first doing their homework with documents and then interviewing top officials and now reaching the apex of the president of the United States himself donald trump who said he has no idea when this interview will occur although
