Families abroad living in luxury in the United States and in europe and the problem is that if the United States keeps doing this why by itself it will only have so much of an impact this needs to be a coordinated effort by the first world countries to not allow venezuelans who had stolen the money of the people through corruption to live in luxury in their countries and by doing that they will sow divisions because once those families have to start going back to venezuela theyre not going to be happy about it and i think that would cause you know more internal division and pressure which might bring the government down and ten and tens of International Pressure we see in this regional bloc have been missing in europe why are you optimistic they can do anything to resolve this. It depends it depends on whether they take a harder line position to really press from a duro for a transition to democracy immediately or if they try to fall to into more negotiations i think at this point the opposition is a position where you know fool me once shame on me fill me twice for me once shame on you fool me twice shame on me if the the opposition has accepted talks with the matter of government multiple times over the past three years moore has used these things to diffuse crisis hes negotiated in bad face stretch things out and then nothing has happened i think right now weve gotten to a point where there is if we look at four legs of the table three of the of the legs have fallen in with tourists teetering just with the military the or have turned against them the International Community is pressuring him and the opposition is not divided the longer that continues the less the military is going to be able to hold that euro up and we might see some change and tenure more of that the editor in chief if he isnt news dot com speaking to us on skype from miami thank you antonia my pleasure. Plenty more ahead on this news hour including the u. S. President s advisor and son in law prepares to table part of his middle east peace that. The press as Prime Minister is back from brussels where once again shes been looking for a compromise only e. U. Withdrawal deal. And in sports the newly reelected head of european football sends out a warning to fifa boss jenny infant team at. The u. N. Human rights and boy investigating the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi says it was a brutal premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by Saudi Arabian officials the findings by a special rapporteur agnus kalamata follow a week long trip to turkey with a team of experts to examine evidence her initial conclusion is that saudi arabia is seriously undermined turkeys efforts to access the crime scene and investigate the matter at the istanbul consulate in october shes requested an official visit to riyadh unexpressed Major Concerns about fairness for the eleven suspects on trial for them out to from out of quetta to james bays reports. A week off to agnes and her team of legal and Forensic Experts visited istanbul and the saudi consulate where Jamal Khashoggi was murdered the un special rapporteur has released her initial findings and they are down me in a written statement she says evidence collected during my mission to turkey shows primal facie case that mr cruz shoji was the victim of a brutal and premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of saudi arabia during the visit to turkey ms keller muds team met with key turkish officials and was played an audiotape which is believed to be a recording of mr kershaw g. s last minutes a line and all his. Murder she says it was gruesome and chilling agnes kalamata undertook this inquiry on her own initiative under her existing mandate to examine cases of extrajudicial executions her work continues and she report her findings to the u. N. Human Rights Council in about four months time the u. N. Secretary general has refused to set up his own inquiry into the murder of mr cruz shoji unless he gets a referral from the human Rights Council the Security Council or the Un General Assembly the initial findings of this investigation likely to increase pressure here at the un for tougher action against saudi arabia but the authorities in riyadh alerted to be more worried about what happens next in washington outside the white house the Campaign Group the committee to protect journalists held an event to mark the fact that february eighth is the deadline for President Trump to take action against saudi arabia on the khashoggi case under whats known as the magnitsky act even if mr trump decides not to act there are many in congress who made it quite clear theyll not let this case drop james bays out jazeera at the United Nations the u. S. State Department Says it will continue to consult with congress to hold those responsible for jamal Jamal Khashoggi isnt that to account the department of state shares the deep concern and outrage. Over the killings of Jamal Khashoggi expressed by members of congress and we have consulted and corresponded with the congress regularly since Jamal Khashoggi is october second killing including briefings by the secretary of state. Karen greenberg is the director of the center for National Security at Fordham University school of law and she joins us now from new york karen ms catamounts initial findings that were hearing about just how significant are they there significant in that they are more of same more of what other intelligence agencies including the top intelligence officials in the United States have included but the language was unusually strong and even more pointed than seen elsewhere and remember this is only the beginning of the investigation the special repertory has asked for access to saudi arabia to go there to visit to conduct interviews and investigations there well see how this goes but it is to the point that the world the nations of the world are coming together and the u. N. Is the appropriate venue for this to say we need to get to the bottom of this is not ok for the saudi government to tell the rest of the world what happens to want to do our own investigation and see what is going on the u. S. Congress has come down on the side of this argument the u. S. Intelligence agencies have come down very strongly on the side of the argument that they say that it is officials at the top of the saudi government in addition aided and ordered this killing this was the killing to be carried out and now a special repertoire at the u. N. Is taking in well it looks to be a very aggressive beginning to an investigation can this is an independent investigation rather than a full u. N. Report when it comes out what kind of impact is it likely to have when it actually comes out in a few months time. Thats a very good question and it remains to be seen part of its going to be in the details itself if there is access to saudi arabia if there are individuals who will speak out and give more evidence it could have more impact but the fact that its coming out from a separate independent investigation means that there will be steps along the way in terms of how much the u. N. Wants to back whatever report comes out as you said earlier in the broadcast it was the special operators decision by herself to pursue this and i think theres probably a lot of support for that but we dont know where this is headed remember also that she said that she will deliver her full report in june theres a lot to could come out between now and june in the Public Domain either from other Intelligence Leaks or from News Services or we dont know what else so it will depend i think in part on timing when as has been released and just how the u. N. Is feeling not just about this particular murder but also about whats going on politically with saudi arabia in terms of some of the larger geopolitical issues in which saudi arabia is involved most most a front line i would say whats going on in yemen Karen Greenberg from fortune of estee speaking to us from new york thank you for your insights karen thank you so much white house aide jarrad question that will travel to the middle east later this month hell be visiting to present part of his peace plan for the region president thompson and all will visit amman bahrain saudi arabia the u. A. E. And qatar mike hanna has more from washington d. C. Administration Officials Say jared cushion will be accompanied by the special middle east envoy Jason Greenblatt now he is going to be visiting a number of arab nations but interesting enough will not be visiting israel according to Administration Officials the reason for this it would appear because of the elections taking place in israel in early april now the official say as well that kush no will be discussing the economic portion of the middle east peace plan as it is put now the official adds that they are well aware that arab leaders will want to know the political component of this plan before making any economic commitment so certainly there will be some discussion of the political component to it but the greatest stumbling block still ahead in the face of any emergency peace plan is the fact that the palestinian leadership continue to boycott any trumpet ministration officials because of President Trumps illegal recognition of jerusalem as the capital of israel the palestinian or storage he has stopped paying salaries to thousands of employees in the gaza strip it affects employees loyal to her master Islamic Jihad and those close to form a fatah leader Mohammed Dahlan the decision also impacts families of prisoners and wounded palestinians wages have become a symbol of a power struggle between hamas and gaza and the Palestinian Authority and ramallah. Britain and the e. U. Have agreed to hold more talks to try and avoid the u. K. Leaving the block with no deal but european commission. Says the Withdrawal Agreement u. K. Prime minister to resume struck in november cannot be renegotiated the leaders held robust talks in brussels on thursday and has the story. It wasnt a great start for the british Prime Minister and breaks it demonstrated police jumped in front of a car with fifty days left before britain officially leaves the e. U. A feeling desperate. British m. P. s have demanded she find alternative arrangements over the border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland something shes promised to do we must secure the finding changes to the withdrawal would be to deal with the concerns the parliament over the back story and taking down changes to the back story together with the other work that were doing on workers flights and other issues. Stable to dorothy and. I will continue to push for now its not going to be easy im clear the type. Of its delivery and thats what im going to do for British Public ill be negotiating in the coming days to do just that but theres a problem for to reason may be used refused to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement and renegotiate any new irish border arrangements the open borders protected by a twenty year old peace deal the good friday agreement the put an end to decades of sectarian fighting in Northern Ireland nobody wants to turn back the clock but the border question has made leaving the e. U. Extremely complicated. Brussels is determined to hold on to an insurance policy within the Withdrawal Agreement the socalled backstop designed to keep the irish border open if no arrangement is in place by the end of next year the u. K. Automatically continues to be under e. U. Trade policy theres also no way of unilaterally leaving the backstop nor any time limit on it and thats too much for some bricks a ts to stomach the u. Is however prepared to offer more binding political commitment to avoid ever having to use the backstop we are open as parliament from day one to upgrade his political decoration to make this political decoration more binding more precise also on the issue of the backstop explaining and saying very clearly that this is insurance and more than. Persuading british politicians to back to reason mays breaks of plans may require more than easy promises this is the first last ditch attempts to finalize the deal british and negotiators will meet on monday and to resume a return to process at the end of the month but finding a plan to please her party the British Parliament and e. U. Remains painfully out of reach. Out to syria brussels. Away from brussels british opposition labor leader Jeremy Corbyn has written a letter to the u. K. Prime minister outlining his plan John Johnston as a political reporter for news website Politics Home he says plan may not be accepted by two is in may or even some in his own party. Originally labor had what they called their six tests through which they viewed any breakfast deal the Prime Ministers last deal did not meet those six tests and therefore they did not support it but in this quite surprising intervention hes written this letter to the Prime Minister saying that he would be willing to back a breakfast deal if it contained certain demands which hes forwards now the main one there is a. U. K. Wide to Customs Union that keeps us aligned with the e. U. He said if if to resume a would move on that he would then put his party behind it but its seems very unlikely to resume is going to pivot to that kind of that kind of deal at this stage if she moved in that way it would split her party entirely which i think is is part of jeremy corbins thinking hes been accused of blocking bracks it by kind of saying there was no circumstance in which he would back a deal so hes put forward this seeming compromise that appeals certainly to the e. U. In some regards appeals to some of the moderates within the tory party it would cause a major split in the conservative but benches of tourism and moved in that direction i think its unlikely that jeremy corbins deal will really get a look can we never know when it gets to the final stage between the new deal and the softer brets or m. P. s me just jump in that direction what is clear from this is that Jeremy Corbyn is increasingly moving away from the possibility of a second referendum which many people thought held a possible opportunity an exit door for us to get out of this process but that seems increasingly unlikely now. Six Refugee Families stranded on a British Military base in cyprus for more than twenty is have won a legal battle to settle in the u. K.

Irans revolutionary guard was a stablished after the Islamic Revolution forty years ago to protect its ideals since then its expanded into a powerful institution which the u. S. Has designated a terrorist organization and as in a lot of reports from tehran its influence extends beyond the countrys borders. They call them the guardians of iran what began as a voluntary force is now an organized military institution with influence in the corridors of power the revolutionary guard was founded to protect the Islamic Revolution. Forty years later it is not just a more than one hundred thousand strong land sea and air force this commander acknowledges a role in politics and the economy but says it is not driven by interests. That those who joined the revolutionary guard did so to provide security they should be politically better but that doesnt mean they should join any party they are also involved in the economy not to make profit in times of peace they should help the poor who are facing tough conditions. Others see their role differently they say the guards empowered by the Supreme Leader have interfered in iranian politics the voluntary unit was used to crush protests in two thousand and nine former guards have entered political life fielding candidates in elections as well as occupying top positions like the presidency guard commanders have also spoken out against president Hassan Rouhani for negotiating the two thousand and fifty nuclear deal with world powers including the United States the guards is also an economic player it was heavily involved in reconstruction at the end of the war with iraq decades ago now it runs Construction Companies and other businesses the revolutionary guards is not just a powerful institution in iraq. It exported the revolution and expanded irans influence beyond its borders not on states armed actors in lebanon syria iraq and gaza received arms and training it was one of the reasons why the us doesnt need the guards a terrorist organization. Could force is the branch that operates abroad its commander us and so many is portrayed as a National Hero here his forces helped ensure syrian president bashar assad survival and hezbollahs dominance in Lebanons Parliament has given irans influence through legitimate channels. Its no longer a secret that has a creation and limit on was on that of the auspices and support of the revolutionary guard Training Camps were established in syria and then Lebanon Hezbollah was one of their greatest accomplishment back home the guards often display their military might it oversees the controversial Ballistic Missile Weapons Program which the west wants curbed irans position has been one of defiance a position echoed by guard commanders who have made their political stance clear there will be no negotiations they say in a message that could be directed not just to their enemies abroad.

Lets bring you some news just coming out of thailand the king sr has been declared as a leading candidate for Prime Minister in next months elections the first since the military seized power in twenty fourteen lets go straight to wayne hey who joins us live now from bangkok weigh in tell us how. A field of candidates are shaping up. Yes well the intriguing world of time politics just became a little more intriguing this is the official launch of the Election Campaign much twenty four days that first election since the coup in two thousand and fourteen but this launch really overshadowed by that announcement in the last few minutes that the patino has tied rocks a chance a new party has announced princess who balrog the oldest sister of the current king as its only candidate to become Prime Minister in that much twenty four it is a fascinating decision the out royal family in thailand always seen as being above politics never directly being involved in politics even though Everybody Knows that they are the most powerful body in the land also intriguing for the fact that this time rex achad a new party is backed by the former Prime Minister Taksin Shinawatra was ousted in a coup in two thousand and six he is always being seen as being anti establishment his sister being lection the one who government was ousted in the most recent two in two thousand and fourteen and they both live in selfimposed exile avoiding jail terms for a variety of charges so this is extremely interesting that this decision has been made and it will take certainly a while for thailand to on this and find out exactly what it means for the Political Landscape and when what about the current Prime Minister what do we know about his plans. Yes well there has been a lot of speculation really for weeks if not months about what priority johnno child would do that he is the man a retired army general who led the coup in two thousand and fourteen has been the Prime Minister ever since my hand is really refused to commit about what his future political plans might me but again in the last few minutes he has accepted an invitation from another political body another new one. Now one that is very much. Banks or banks the current military government in fact has been set up by some members of that current military government they invited him to become their Prime Ministerial candidate and in the last few minutes on the last day that he was able to do so he has accepted that invitation so another Intriguing Development if that party does not win and off seats to be able to form the government in the election in march then he still could become the Prime Minister through a cools in the constitution that allows for an outsider to become Prime Minister of this this country somewhat under linked at a very controversial part of that constitution that was written by the military so certainly a couple of interesting developments in the last few minutes aljazeera when hey following all those developments for us in bangkok thank you ram.
