Of a large collection in israel your leaders and these people are in the loop needed internationally while there is no military or political will in our own waiting list to meet or. In honduras the inauguration of president why not land on hondas has been held against a backdrop of protests demonstrators say there were irregularities in vote counting that saw one man does win a second time in november beating Opposition Leader salvador in the style of its own home and has more. Inside the National Stadium or to range as president one orlando and mondays was sworn in for his second term. And outside things were different. It sums up a nation divided by elections in which there were serious irregularities we are demanding our votes be respected we voted and defeated the narco dictator even with all his resources we defeated him you can see the protesters trying to advance on the National Stadium but there is a big line of military police arent letting them get anywhere near and its turned into a little bit of a pitched battle with tear gas and stones. Numbers were way down from the tens of thousands that march two months ago a sense of futility more than thirty deaths has dampened the spirits of many in his speech the president gave the barest of mentions to the crisis agreeing to look at a letter to reform in the future its dumb or new thought but is while were prepared to listen to any off without very is because that is the dialogue that will take us to will bring conciliation and the healing of the hundred human family that. He preferred to talk about his plans to resolve poverty and a lack of jobs both grew worse during his first term in other areas he has seen progress he has come to agreements with the International Monetary fund. He has good terms with the world bank in good terms with the intermarriage going but Development Bank that has been very helpful hes also had success in lowering the sky high murder rates. Although the security crackdown has also led to alleged human rights abuses and reinforced his reputation as a north or a tarion leader on the side of an elite ruling class now his biggest challenge is to prove to home durance that he can govern for all on john homans joining us live now john what do we know about the president himself. For president one and now and this comes from a longstanding political family and also a family with Business People in it he was a businessman as well as his Political Activities and thats important especially in honduras where for the ruling elite lost business and politics mix quite often its also important because of the you wanting gap between that class and the majority of hondurans who live in poverty many of them sort of resent the fact that they are ruled over by people that do have money and are involved in politics apart from those details about one and on this we know that hes a man who likes to get his own way even as the president of congress he started to fill up the Supreme Court with his supporters since hes been the president of the count of the country hes continued that practice of filling institutions with people that are on his side thats actually led to him being able to seek a second term as president before that was not allowed by the honduran constitution and his monies to find a way round that by his supporters in the supremes is also seen as quite enough for a tear in think hes really campaigned on the on the fact these go to hard line attitude towards crime and the modest gangs whove really been dominating honduras or maybe a couple of years ago the deadliest country in the world hes monies put the army in the military police in the streets and managed to reduce the number of murders but as well as that there have been lots of reports of human rights abuses that have also been committed. John as you say i mean the commanders has pledged to rein in Violent Crime and boost the economy and so on but he is still facing these protests over the election hows this going to play out four hundred us over the coming months will it all depends on how president and is chooses to handle the process of reconciliation of negotiating with those opposition figures theres already a group that weve been talking to of Business People n. G. O. S Church Figures that are sort of shuttling between the x. Candidates from opposition groups and mr nunn does to try and find some sort of middle ground so that the country can calm down he says it specially in his speech at least thinking about unemployment at the moment hes thinking about poverty hes thinking about credits for families for businesses and really helping ordinary called durance but there is another thing thats bubbling away behind the scenes at the moment and thats a new law that was passed by congress now this law basically takes power away from this whole during attorney general to investigate that they have public money by politicians and thats huge in this country because there are dozens of investigations into politicians the attorney general is basically not going to be able to dig into so thats basic may may be a sign of where were heading in the next four years of government under president and this the maybe this isnt as much of a fresh start as people might like to think and transparency might not be on the rise john thanks very much indeed one of the worlds richest men billionaire saudi prince will lead bin has been released after being held for more than two months and allegations of corruption is the latest high profile detainee to be freed by saudi authorities on a hawkster reports. Just hours before billionaire saudi prince and waleed bin talib was released from the Ritz Carlton Hotel in riyadh he conducted an interview with the Reuters News Agency from the suite where hed been confined been tell is one of saudi arabias most prominent business men and one of the worlds richest men but hes been held for more than two months accused of corruption in the interview he described the entire situation as a misunderstanding there no charges ok just some discussions between the government you know i mean but the rest assured that this is. You know protection that we have and were just in discussion with the government on the various matters and i cant divulge right now because we are coming there to discuss with them the marg bearing his likeness was just one of the many objects shown as the prince gave a tour of where hed been detained been tellers arrest in the van that was part of what the government called an Anti Corruption campaign ordered by crown Prince Mohammed bin. The government says one hundred twenty four billion dollars is expected to be seized for more than two hundred individuals a group that is said to include the owner of the n. B. C. Television network as well as several other senior princes observers say the crackdown has allowed been someone to do far more than simply consolidate power i think there are two things here its about money because the saudi. Government is facing Financial Difficulties because of the collapse of the oil prices over the past few years. When mr man is having very ambitious economic plan actually to reform the kingdom so he needs the cash money in order to carry on with this project but this is not the only issue the other issue in my opinion here is that hes trying to create a popular base of support for him because all these people are in fact corrupt. Intaglio his farm hold stakes in Companies Like twitter citi group an apple is estimated to be worth seventeen. Billion dollars his release could potentially reassure investors but analysts believe the timing of his interview with reuters as the World Economic forum met in davos was no coincidence having someone like prince to allow for example speak out publicly as he did yesterday shows that you know the saudis are trying to use him as somewhat the poster child of liberalism theyre trying to appeal to investors overseas saying we realize that what we did and the way we did it with that courage last year we saw completely undermined big Business Confidence and Investor Confidence in saudi arabia in town has told reuters he expects to remain in full control of his Global Investment firm without being required to give up his assets to the government.

The syrian observatory for human rights says the bombardment of a damascus suburb is continuing despite a cease fire agreement. This video has been uploaded to social media by the white tell miss rescue group it appears to show the aftermath of airstrikes in the rebel held on klav of eastern guta early on saturday late on friday night syrias opposition confirmed it had received an offer from russia for a cease fire deal the y. Tell miss say at least thirteen people were injured in the overnight strikes since then fighting appears to have subsided Stephanie Decker has more from montauk in near turkeys border with syria. Often when things are decided at the negotiating table thousands of kilometers away its not exactly what transpires on the ground this is significant because it is the last rebel stronghold in the vicinity of the capital damascus but what is most concerning is the situation that for the civilians the u. N. Estimates around four hundred thousand people are trapped inside the area of eastern there is a severe lack of food and medicine and the u. N. Also says that the issue of malnutrition is one of the worst in the syrian conflict so aid access into eastern for those people will be key and will be something that then could really change and improve the situation for people on the ground and we know within this conflict aid has always been a very difficult thing to negotiate cross lines all sides need to agree so that will be also one of the huge challenges ahead and meanwhile the u. N. Says its special envoy for syria stuff and in the story will attend a planned summit on the syrian conflict in the russian coastal city of sochi but syrias opposition says its boycotting the russian backed talks as it is called out the hamid is in vienna and she spoke to a member of the opposition delegation about the decision.
