Welcome to our jazeera live from doha im martin that is also coming up syrian president assad makes a flying visit to russia thanking Vladimir Putin for in his words saving his country. Meum our is accused of subjecting its rahane jet to whats described as a vicious system of a party. War crimes in afghanistan the International Criminal court wants to investigate alleged crimes which could involve the u. S. Military. Now the man expected to replace Robert Mugabe as zimbabwean president has reportedly spoken out for the First Time Since the military takeover a week ago amazon men and gaga has said in a statement that president mugabe should resign immediately and one of gaga has been a long time ally of Robert Mugabe and was his deputy before he was fired earlier this month the president now faces impeachment by parliament the motion is due to be presented by the rulings on the p. F. Party in around an hour from now meanwhile the leader of south Africa Zambia and tanzania are meeting in angola to talk about the crisis in zimbabwe. The powerful War Veterans Association has applauded the efforts to impeach president mugabe we want that that unity between the two but the Political Parties walls so that the point that usual prose is huge may be well to middling good they can be executive with speed so that he leaves office but we is the people is what we do all that is we are not waiting for the constitutional processes we are said to get this know the calls he would tell his calling. For let him know now from our correspondent how removed tosser who is in harare. Is that mr circulating early this morning saying that it was imminent out what is not coming back to the country and is afraid for his life he hasnt been seen in public since he left the country more than two weeks ago and the bobbins are confused they said that in the past last week some information theyve been hearing has turned out to be wrong and some say the only reliable source of information for them right now is the army and thats what the army is telling them today they saying that the president president mugabe and imma some in and out were all going to bury the hatchet they say that image of another will come back to the country soon thats what the army has been telling zimbabweans as above is all confused but remember he has not yet been seen in public palmach will start at twelve g m t across the road from where i am whats important to watch is how united how we need united all the parliamentarians in pushing crist in the lobby out zanu p. F. Has been saying that they planned to implement this this motion m. D. C. All of the meeting right now the opposition they say bill so want to impeach the president. All right now lets find out a little bit more about how this is all playing out in the region we can go live to tanya paige our correspondent whos in johannesburg and of course tanya south africa is currently the president of the subject thats a Southern AfricanDevelopment Community and as such jacob zuma has gone to angola for this special meeting to discuss zimbabwe yes exactly and although our south africa is currently chairing sadeq the meeting is being held in angola is capital the wonder because angola is the current chair of the committee on peace and security so some here have stated their other Foreign Ministers from across the region obviously everyone extremely concerned about events unfolding in zimbabwe but because they are quite complex and still really the situation is a little unclear its unclear exactly what they said eric leaders will be responding to by the end of the day if we dont have a very clear picture from zimbabwe by there then i think the most we can probably expect is sort of a reiteration of the stance taken so far we saw our South African president jacob zuma come out on the very day that these events started and saying that they would want to see a negotiated settlement an amicable settlement one that abided and respected zimbabwes constitution and one in which the Defense Force maintained the rule of law they arent going to go as far as the war veterans have been asking them to and calling for president mugabe is removal from office that i dont think is very likely to happen at all because sachs normally pretty cautious that of course would be overreaching in terms of sovereignty as well youre right i mean sadik normally a very very quiet when it comes to the issue of zimbabwe except for one of course in calmer botswana i mean he regularly speaks out and says that Robert Mugabe should go even before this particular crisis. Yes absolutely hes really the only one across this region who sticks his head above the pope or to in that manner and his call quite recently for president Robert Mugabe to go he was the only one in zimbabwe as last election which said that it was not a credible vote while the rest of sadek and the way you supported those electoral results and this was something we saw coming through pretty strongly i think im those extraordinary scenes from harare on saturday when hundreds of thousands of people took to the streets calling for president mugabe to step down we did see i did spot some signs in that march people saying stay out and weve been speaking to many zimbabweans here in south africa because theres a large diaspora population here and they mirror those concerns they are basically saying that looks at acas entire at times turned a blind eye and may have taken steps in supporting elections they say may have been questionable which effectively led to the extension of president mugabes presidency tanya page live in johannesburg thank you. Well syrias president assad has held talks with russias leader Vladimir Putin in sochi the pair spoke in the black sea resort city on monday the kremlin says mr putin told president assad that the fight against armed groups in syria is close to ending he said once its over finding a peaceful political settlement will be the key is seen. As my feeling about president assad knows and he told me during my talks that thanks to the efforts of the russian army syria is saved as a state much has been done to stabilize the situation in syria and i hope in the near future we will put a final stop to fighting terrorism in syria publicly for the coming we just had a meeting with president Vladimir Putin and i passed greetings and gratitude to him and to the people of russia for the efforts which russia put in saving our country i particularly emphasized the role of the Russian Armed forces and the sacrifices you have made to reach this goal thanks to your efforts and the efforts of our allies many syrians could return to their homes and i would like to express gratitude to you for what you have done on behalf of all the Syrian People now lebanons army chief has called for readiness from troops on the southern border with israel he said its a day ahead of Prime Minister saad hariri is expected return to beirut after a two week absence hes basically been in saudi arabia where hes suddenly announced his resignation then the holder has more from beirut. The Army Statement ahead of Independence Day lebanon is in a state of war with israel and thats why the army chief calling on the troops to remain vigilant to face the possibility of any israeli threats but in that statement the army chief mentions the extraordinary political situation in the country and it is extraordinary the Prime Minister suddenly resigned two weeks ago while he was in the saudi capital he stayed there for two weeks and mysterious circumstances with some in lebanon suggesting that he was being held hostage so the army calling on the troops to make sure that or to prevent anyone to try to exploit this political instability lebanon is not immune to political crisis nor is it immune to security incidents as a result of the political crisis now the Prime Minister saddle halley is expected to attend Independence Day celebrations on wednesday it is still not clear whether or not he will submit his resignation on wednesday or on thursday and its still not clear if if there is there some sort of compromise can be reached but undoubtedly there is fear that if there is no consensus or an agreement there could be a prolonged political paralysis and that would leave the possibility of security incidents in lebanon and we got some breaking news coming from nigeria within the last hour or so weve been hearing about a suicide bomb attack in which at least twenty people have been killed its happened in movie thats in adam our estate in the northeast of nigeria according to police it was a teenage suicide bomber who targeted a mosque as people who are arriving for their morning prayers as yet nobody has claimed responsibility but this is a part of the country in which. Carries out regular attacks. Germanys president is holding talks with Party Leaders after talks to form a new Coalition Government collapsed president trunk valda steinmeier who holds the power to call for new elections one political leaders to rethink their positions is it on monday that he wasnt in favor of a snap election three way talks involving chancellor merkels christian democrats the greens and the Free Democratic party broke down on sunday night judges at the top flipping quarter here in petitions filed against the governments crackdown on drug dealers relatives of victims are challenging the constitutionality of president attorneys campaign that led to thousands of deaths if the government fails to prove its case president eternity could be found guilty of not following due process jimmy allen doogan has more from the Supreme Court in manila human rights lawyers appealed before the justices here in the Supreme Court requesting for immediate protection from families who have filed cases against Police Officers in one community here in downtown mandela in their presentations they have also reiterated the fact that the terror to socalled war on drugs is unconstitutional because it violates the bill of rights they say the war on drugs there is not only killed the poor but it also kills the countrys Justice System they have also told basically justices of the Supreme Court that the number that the police have been releasing the more than three thousand People Killed in supposedly legitimate Police Operations are much lower than it is believed to be it doesnt include the more than six thousand people believed to have been killed by vigilante groups linked to police. Well we have a very clear in. The war of drugs. For the board this. Way way back where is the threat that theres no threat to their lives over the last few months the government has been facing immense pressure not just domestically but internationally from International Rights groups and governments calling on the there to just stop his socalled war on drugs and despite his popularity its been proven that the terror to is not immune from all of these criticisms his popularity has gone down based on local service over the last few months and he himself admits that more than forty percent of the Philippine Police are corrupt and this is why last month he has ordered that all units involved in investigations in drug operations within the police be dismantled and he has transferred drug operations in fact from than of the police to the philippine drugs in forcemeat agency but it remains to be seen whether this Supreme Court hearing will change anything remember that there is still a complaint filed before the International Criminal court and this has so far not changed the dynamics on the ground here what many years see though is the hope that if the Supreme Court actually approves the petition of these human rights lawyers and the families that they represent that it will hopefully pave the way for perhaps a case Strong Enough against the president for a feature meant in congress in the coming months. Still to come here at aljazeera americas asian allies while come president trumps me to put north korea back on a terrorism blackening. Days after a Major Oil Spill the cave pipeline gets approval to rig through another usa.

Syrias president Bashar Al Assad has held talks with russias leader Vladimir Putin in sochi the allies in syrias six year war met in the black sea city on monday according to the kremlin president putin told us that the fight against armed groups in syria is close to ending. A suicide bomber has killed at least twenty people in movie in nigerias northeastern adam our state police say it was a teenage bomber who targeted a mosque as people were arriving for morning prayers. Ok we can go live now to our correspondent whos in the nigerian capital abuja ahmed address the sad thing is that the death toll in this mosque attack seems to be rising rapidly. Absolutely it was it was a good day restating the attack on the mosque as people were gathering for prayer and mourning in movie remember movies not far away from the boundary with some decent the boundary with blood in the state at the epicenter of the book so you see over the last seven or eight years my degree by the way was attacked just a few days ago probably a week ago and there are a lot of people who still believe that some of the fighters from some visible fighters from some business may have escaped and invaded all intreated communities not trying to away from the boundary with but in a state so thats exactly where it happened and the number of wounded also were so high that we probably will see more and more people succumbing to their wounds or injuries sustained during the Early Morning attack. Alive in the nigerian capital abuja thank you. President trampas put north korea back on the u. S. List the state sponsors of terrorism the designation by the u. S. President allows more sanctions to be imposed bought the secretary of state Rex Tillerson says he hasnt given up on resolving the Nuclear Missile crisis through diplomacy she have or tons of reports from washington. President trumps of the designation of north korea as a sponsor of terrorism was long overdue shouldve happened a long time should happened years ago in addition to threatening the world by Nuclear Devastation north korea has repeatedly supported acts of International Terrorism including assassinations on foreign soil. However this announcement wasnt a certainty some officials at the state department were reported to argue that north korea did not meet the Legal Definition of a state sponsor of terrorism two cases have been cited during the deliberations the killing of kim jong uns half brother at im a lazy an airport and the treatment of american student who died of his injuries after being released from north korean custody neither represents terrorism they argued nonetheless more sanctions will now be announced by the Treasury Department there its unclear this will prove to be anything more than a symbolic measure given all of the sanctions that have already been levied against pyongyang something the secretary of state alluded to i dont want to suggest to you that the designation is suddenly going to put a whole new layer of sanctions olympias again i think we already have north korea so heavily sanctioned in so many ways with the u. N. Resolutions that have been undertaken but this will close a few additional loopholes all analysts are attempting to discern a comprehensive strategy for north korea from the trumpet ministration i think its disappointing trump came to washington as an outsider and i really thought that maybe there was some chance that he could have a policy towards north korea that would be different and more creative than the ones that the inside the beltway crowd have been implementing. The north koreans have said they would end their Nuclear Tests and resume negotiations if the u. S. And its military exercises with south korea the u. S. Has ruled that out so in the meantime the administration is once again relying on sanctions and harsh rhetoric she average hansie aljazeera washington the prosecutor of the International Criminal court has requested authorized sation from its judges to open an investigation into alleged war crimes since the u. S. Led invasion of afghanistan such a visit to says there is a reasonable basis to believe that members u. S. Of the. S. Armed forces and the cia carried out war crimes in afghanistan particularly during two thousand and three in two thousand and four the taliban its ally the Haqqani Network and the Afghan NationalSecurity Forces are also included in the proposed investigation the United States is not a member state of the court part of afghanistan is there for american citizens can be charged for crimes committed in countries that all members of the u. S. State Department Says an investigation into possible u. S. War crimes would be wholly unwarranted and unjustified well Michael Semple is a visiting Research Professor at Queens University belfast and hes a former deputy e. U. Special representative to afghanistan he says its hard to get to the truth in afghanistan. The reality is that in all the long lead up to this announcement the i. C. C. Has not even been able to deploy a team on the ground in afghanistan to conduct a survey and country assessment and i think that its very unlikely that were going to see. Finalising of investigations or things going to trial because there is a long list of obstacles that they would have to clear all along the way so they yes they have theyve made the request they are able to speak to the you know these allegations of war crimes but afghanistan is a very difficult country to operate in in there and this will announcements that the i. C. C. Has said that for crimes by people working for the us theyre talking about the period two thousand and three to two thousand and four already well over well over a decade ago so without the cooperation of u. S. Government without the without the i. C. C. Teams yet having overcome the their security hang ups to get to afghanistan it seems very difficult difficult for them to put to put together the case how are they going to get the evidence i mean mass treatment of its people has been likened to a party aide in a report by Amnesty International the organization spent two years investigating the cause of the Current Crisis which is false hundreds of thousands of refugees across the border into bangladesh now the report says mia maher has been circular gating range of people in an open air prison by confining them to their villages and as that me and moral authority is guilty of being openly racist towards they were injured and says Rakhine State her military crackdown has been going on is a crime scene ranger living in me im also denied citizenship on the basis of their ethnicity many of them are deleted from official records making it almost impossible for those who fled violent in the country to go back home well anna neistat is Amnesty International senior director for research she told us what now needs to be done. In relation to the ongoing system of our party that we describe in our report i think the world is way too willing to buy into the restoration presented by the young mara thirtys about the need to combat terrorism about the need to establish security and thats why we felt it was a very important moment to remind both in myanmar officials and their International Counterparts that absolutely no considerations be it security or the need to convert terrorism can justify the ongoing crimes against humanity to justify the system of apartheid. Tens of thousands of haitian immigrants are facing deportation from the United States most of them were allowed in after the twenty ten earthquake which destroyed much of haiti but their status was only temporary and the trumpet ministrations says conditions on the island have improved sufficiently for residents to go back home and it gallagher reports from little haiti in miami.

They have deep roots in our communities those roots of found across the country many of those granted protection have u. S. Born children who may be. Forced to leave with their parents you know a lot of music you dont know really i imagine they cant even sleep to see all your dreams crumble your efforts to have a home in this country and to have to leave it inhumane others like jodeen say going back after so many years isnt safe or practical i lost my house in haiti two thousand then i lost my house and i would not. Want to go ahead. I dont have it plays both day and i made by him ending the protected status of long established communities is seen by advocates as cruel and unnecessary fears over deportation has already led to an influx of haitians seeking asylum in canada times overwhelming local authorities for years those benefiting from temporary protected status have been referred to as living in limbo but in truth theyve established businesses started families and become valued members of their communities those whove now lost their status face the prospect of being sent back to countries they no longer think of as home and they get like roger zero little eighty miami.
