Leaving the sole Detention Center a free man if you would have predicted samsungs Electronics Vice chairman. Would be released when he arrived at an Appeals Court just a few hours earlier on monday. Again i feel sorry for not showing everyone my bayside and it has been a really precious time for you reflecting on myself i will throw and do my best the forty nine year old had been in prison for more than a year on charges arising from whats been described as asias biggest Corruption Scandal that exposed the close ties between koreas family run conglomerates and its political leaders its a scandal that eventually led to the removal of President Park yun havey a lower court convicted b.

Aljazeera. Came is a professor at hancock university a foreign studies joins us now live from seoul good to have you with us so it wasnt like the Appeals Court was focused on revealing new evidence what do you think prompted the change in ruling. Thats anybodys guess at this point because it was a surprise for almost everyone here. The rule court decided the a suspended sentence as the report has just said and overall the first try ols overall sentence being called by have is indeed a big deal of course some some sithen least side theyre emphasizing that he has already served three hundred fifty three days twelve days short of one year and so they seems to be you know presenting this picture where he has suffered enough so far for his socalled alleged the wrongdoings and now hes for it makes sense for him to go home thats over a picture of this one side is trying to present to the public but however the public is divided and a big part of the public is quite surprised by this sentencing do you think its going to play to the perception that the establishment has gone soft again on the china bowls i think considerable number of people will continue to hold that view last year when when he was sent to jail equally the korean public were surprised because for decades in never happened that some some had went to jail despite the fact that many of the terrible heads here have served their jail terms in the past for various kinds of wrongdoings bus comes on being the top you know seeing the time zones ahead going to jail was a big surprise last year and again once again you know after this sentencing considerable number of people will have hold the view that samsung is indeed kind of invincible thats their view were not talking about the legal merits here thats too much detail here but Public Perception yourself is their way and already a lot of people actually posting their complaints at the president ial website at the moment all right b. J. Kim thanks for your thoughts on that. International aid agencies are warning hundreds of thousands of this place syrians are at risk of being forced to return to their homes despite ongoing violence a joint report by six leading agencies says neighboring countries as well as european and u. S. Governments are putting pressure on refugees to go back syrias government has taken control of more territory giving the impression many areas a stable enough to return to over every syrian who went home last year three more were displaced the u. N. Predicts another one and a half million will be displaced this year alone so in a whole the joins us now from the because of valley so what sort of pressure is being put on refugees to return. Well the refugees i can give you an example in lebanon they dont feel welcome they know theyre not welcome the lebanese government for example does not allow them to use any concrete to build any permanent structure so they have to rely on plastic sheeting in the winter theres also an anti refugee sentiment in lebanon and this is the case in other neighboring countries as well as well as a europe so these refugees really are worried that one day theyre going to be forced back i mean when you ask people here theyll tell you where do they want us to go back to theres theres war theres fighting in some areas and other areas have been reduced to rubble a lot of people here for example in this informal settlement are from has been reduced to rubble in the fight against so theres no infrastructure no civilian infrastructure no hospitals hospitals have been hit so these aid agencies really are warning governments not to force syrians back because there could be a misleading picture that the progovernment forces are now in control of main cities eisel has been kicked out of cities the government has recaptured a lot of opposition territory but the reality on the ground it is safe. Captured and fighting has died down at least some sort of conditions prevail. Well you see the government has forged what it calls agreements with the opposition in some areas but the opposition these are surrender deals they tell people lay down your arms you know accept the government some people are forced to do that others you know dont accept and tens of thousands of people really have been taken from a number of areas around damascus to adlib province there are hundreds of thousands displaced and where are these people going to return to so this is a question another question is these people who have left their homes now what we understand from some reports have been occupied by loyalists government loyalists so there has been a demographic change in the country a loyalist taking over opposition homes the opposition members being forced to move to so the situation. The ground is quite messy and there is no repatriation plan the lebanese government for example says we will never force anyone to return and we will only quartern it with the United Nations if they are to return but youll need the Syrian Governments approval if you want the United Nations to be involved so these people are worried its not just lack of safety lack of infrastructure some of them are wanted by the government and just cannot go back. To the refugees who are worried young angle and is the u. N. Humanitarian advisor on syria and also secretary general of the Norwegian Refugee Council hes talking about his worries for the return of refugees. The pressure across the middle east and in europe and elsewhere is. Syrian refugees now you should return this is the time to go back and not consulting them not informing them and especially not looking at the real conditions in syria we the humanitarian organizations that are on the ground in syria and in the neighboring countries we call this report dangerous grounds for the simple reason that these women children and men have to be informed of the conditions and we have to assure that it is voluntary when they go back and then we have to assist and protect the return. Mine pursue a system protect is there even a repatriation process if the refugees wanted to go back to syria. No there is no repatriation process you will need the support and coordination of the United Nations for example now the Syrian Government has taken its own initiative a syrian syrian reconciliation minister in fact came to lebanon just a few weeks ago and said you know come back home but people are afraid to go back home especially those who in one way or another were involved with the opposition so youre going to need the United Nations help and this is why people are worried the situation here i can tell you and someone is supposed. To syrians from municipalities blaming them for their lack of jobs blaming them for crime i mean they have been forced to move from one area to another and just look behind me this is the way people have been living for six or seven years so there is no real pattern and plan on the table the Syrian Government still is in control which means that a lot of people do not want to go back because they you know they rose up against the government many years ago all of this stuff there from. Now at least eleven people have been injured in a suspected applauding gas attack in syrias rebel held province activists video shows people being treated in the town of. Follows another suspected chlorine attack by president assads forces on the duma in rebel held east and now if that would be the third report to chlorine attack in just fifteen days from now the show has more from the turkey syria border. This latest chemical attack with the use of chlorine on civilians in the neighborhood of in libya is just another example of the fact that there really is no safe place inside syria even including those the escalation zones agreed upon by russia turkey and iran of which obviously it was meant to be included now what is significant about this latest attack although thankfully it didnt lead to any deaths it did you two significant injuries but no fatalities whats significant about that is it targeted the same area where rebels had previously in the a couple of days before managed threw down a russian jets that was flying. In the skies targeting them with a strike so many believe that this was a clear retaliation to the success of those rebel fighters in and executing a hits against the russian enemies obviously there were other attacks there was a hospital that was destroyed in libya as well well overall in the past twenty four hours there was at least fifteen People Killed in italy province alone three of them were emergency workers so more violence yes its not as high level of numbers in terms of the fatalities as has been witnessed previously or as many have unfortunate become accustomed to when it comes to syria however nonetheless it shows that there is still a lot of violence taking place and a lot of reason why so many people continue to be displaced and that there are so many refugees. Plenty more still to come on the news hour including. Ruffles outside the headquarters of south africas ruling party as it debates the future of president jacob zuma plus i dont remember my culture i dont remember my language. We talked to a refugee a fearful of being deported back to somalia after a troubled life in canada. Im paul reese in the netherlands the home of speedskating where the dutch plotting another history making performance at the Winter Olympics. The only surviving suspect from the paris attacks in two thousand and fifteen is on trial in belgium. Is charged with attempted murder for trying to kill police during a shoot down a shooting rather in brussels in two thousand and sixteen a belgian born frenchman was arrested along with another suspect four days before bomb attacks killed thirty two people in the belgian capital. Joins us live from brussels how the Court Proceedings going now tasha. Well this is the first time that a solid dislike has actually been seen since he was arrested back in march twenty sixth in his hair has grown out he is wearing white and when he was asked by the judge to identify himself he confirmed that it was indeed him but he has made it very clear that he will remain silent when when questioned during this trial that is interesting because he has been since his arrest in a high security prison just outside of paris and and despite multiple interrogations he has always said that he would not answer any questions while he repeated that again in the court today he said i will not ask questions when he was asked by the judge or why did you come he said i came because i was asked to do so he then said that he felt that muslims were being wrongly judged here and that there was no presumption of innocence and you refused to stand up he said to the judge because he was tired was allowed to slum was arrested in the district of back where he grew up it is not far from this process court we take a look back. It was in this house in the district of brussels that sala up to islam was arrested in march twenty sixth. The only surviving suspect of the paris attacks the previous november spent four months on the run hiding in places not far from his family home a few days before being corti was involved in a shootout with police in another part of the belgian capital his trial will examine his role in the crime. Of the slum is also linked to the bombers who attacked brussels four days after his arrest nearly two years on the belgian government has lowered the threat level but analysts say europe remains a target in. The meek another attack is always possible whether its by i saw al qaeda or another radical Islamic Group europe is still targeted by these organizations what has changed though is that since i saw a lot of territory in iraq and syria it has lost some ability to train people to commit attacks in europe but it is still possible that theyll be able to do it again. Police say many of those involved in the paris and brussels attacks had links to mullen back people here are fed up with the unwanted attention so lobbed islam grew up in mali and back but he is a french citizen and since his arrest he has been kept in solitary confinement in a prison in france after the troll here in process he will return to france to wait for another trial or raise the alleged role in the powers attacks. One hundred people were killed in paris when attackers targeted a football stadium cafes and a rock concert. Philip depair all son thomas was killed that night now the head of the Victims Association he feels compelled to attend dislodges trial even. If you dont. Its important for us to be at this trial because its the first trial for so up to slam hes facing the belgian Justice System the charges against him in this case in belgium arent directly linked to the november thirteenth previous attacks its true but for us there is a link to this man to sell our. Belgiums federal Prosecutor Says the trial could shed more light on the assailants who planned the paris and brussels attacks whether the court will learn more from abdus lama himself is unclear since his arrest hes refused to speak to interrogators. Well this this trial here in brussels is taking place before his trial in paris that is simply procedural that is because poaching authorities had always made it very clear that they would want to try a solid dislodgement sophia and i reread the second man who is here over the shooting a soon as they could investigators put that case together pretty quickly and that is why he was here and its interesting the security of course is very high surrounding this case he was at the time of his arrest europes most wanted man so elite forces belgian and French Forces are a scorching solid dislodged from the prison where he has been kept in northern france nearly two hundred kilometers away each day to and from this court here in brussels. Or i will leave it there from alphonso marginal pressure mofo. Now rival factions of south africas ruling party are demonstrating outside the partys headquarters in johannesburg it comes ahead of an urgent a. N. C. Meeting to discuss the future of president jacob zuma after overnight talks failed to secure his departure is under pressure to resign since the ramaphosa replaced him as leader of the party for me the miller joins us now live from johannesburg so his fate hangs in the balance how does it look like. Will this hurt me is that increasing pressure for jacob zuma to resign and we understand that the president met with the top leadership of the African National congress thats really party in south africa he met with them overnight where we understand from local media reports that we arent able to verify independently that they had asked for his resignation and the president said well no i wont resign because ive done nothing wrong i remember jacob zuma has been accused of corruption around his dealings with a specific family here in south africa who people say is responsible for some of the decisions and policy decisions of the president has made they say that the spam has undue influence over the president and the politics of the country president jacob zuma says hes done nothing wrong and that he wont resign now the National Working committee of the a. N. C. Is due to meet later today to continue this discussion around what theyre calling a transitional period and this of course follows Cyril Ramaphosa becoming president of the a. N. C. Jacob zuma remains president of the country but hes no longer president of the ruling party so the ruling party is facing this period where the appears to be two centers of power and they say that theyre trying to deal with this transitional period amid all these calls for jacob zuma to resign calls that come from within the a. N. C. Which c
