Are also asking the International Criminal court who is currently carrying a preliminary examination to expedite this and to a formal process of investigating the war on drugs in the philippines and then what do you think should this United Nations Human Rights Council go ahead what do you. Think that will change because the philippines president remains defiant and hes already dismiss these reports interference by foreign governments it being the sled by force needs. Well the philippines is a party to Many International law continent and human rights covenant it is a member of the United Nations undertaken many obligations under International Law and therefore no one withstanding the president s criticism of this. The philippines have an obligation and International Community and the United Nations have an obligation to look into it is very severe violations of human rights which may amount to crimes against humanity so where we thing is a government that actually is extremely defensive on the one hand domestically justify the killing of a 3 year old in a Police Operation by saying that these things just happen in Police Operations and these are collateral victims and theres nothing to really look into and at the same time its sending a very large delegation to geneva the u. N. Human Rights Council to try to prevent a resolution from being adopted it also threatened directly human rights lawyers. Human rights defenders human rights organizations for not interfering this is a government that has something to hide and what it has to hide is a policy of deadly bradley murdering people from poor and marginalized community if theyre suspected of being somewhat involved in the drug trade but what weve seen is that a anyone can end up on these watch lists theyre compiled without any rigorous procedure and there is no way to get off so if someone puts you submit your names to this watch list no matter what even if its your any sense you will stay on this list and you are at high risk of being killed on and that was fear fear and intimidation.

Here states over in the middle of an unprecedented heat wave Scientists Say there are more alarming signs of Global Warming the states glaciers are melting its a rates not seen in hundreds of years and Sandy Gallacher reports. In a state known as the last frontier theres no easy way to reach a glacier on foot for Climate Research of Brian Brettschneider though its become an increasingly important part of his work below as the stunning sight of the Portage Glacier a vast structure of ice and rock its been here for tens of thousands of years in recent decades this another glaciers in the region a melting at an alarming rate were used to thinking about things changing over time spans that are longer than human lifetimes but when you come back here year after year and you notice with your own eyes not with any kind of fancy equipment but you notice how much its changing its really dramatic and it really causes you to think about you know where were at and where were going and what we can do about it archival images show the rate of change a transformation researchers say is driven by rising Global Temperatures one startling example of just how far and how fast this glacier is going is perhaps this building it was constructed in 1906 for one reason alone and that was to give tourists a direct view of the face of the glacier but if you look out here now all you see is water and to get to the glacier its a half hour long boat trip. Tom again cruise ship has been taking torys out to the glacier for decades and deck can david mazak join the crew in 1997 or one tells us back then the Portage Glacier was very different. Drawing buyers advice to shut up like bankers. They went up over 130 feet into the air. And on the flight to the glacier you had huge bottle was full of ice like big balls of ice sure they would come crashing down. Like this many of the tourists that take the cruiser away glaciers are disappearing for those who have traveled far to see one of alaskas most iconic sites theres a sense that this might be their last chance it can treat me kindly nature.

Its stood up against austerity measures as greece faces the worst economic crisis but the series of party ended up implementing it now that strategy is being put to the test as greeks fight in a general election so will a new leadership emerge and could it be the end of populism in this european country this isnt so much. Hello and welcome to the program on iran can Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras led his left wing syriza party to power in 2015 with promises that offered much hope to the greek people but fixing a country facing its greatest economic crisis in recent history proved to be a challenge rather than end the austerity measures that he campaigned against suppress imposed more taxes giving in to creditors demands greece exit is final bail out last year and the economy is expected to expand but its Unemployment Rate is the highest in europe and people are struggling to make ends meet this has upset many voters who say theyre in favor of the conservative new Democracy Party poll show the party was tipped to win the snap general election on sunday John Psaropoulos reports from athens. The main issue in this election is the economy series which has been in power for the last 4 and a half years has nursed greece out of its Austerity Program in august of last year greece was declared fit to re enter markets and has been successfully selling government bonds again but what cities are hasnt done is to bring greece back to prosperity after shrinking by 26 percent during the years of recession the economy is now growing by about 2 percent a year and that is the forecast for the foreseeable future new democracy the opposition say that that isnt enough to make good the damage thats been done to stem the flow of young people leaving for better job markets they want to boost the economy to at least 4 percent growth and create 700000 new jobs in the next 4 years so they will do this they say by lowering corporate taxes taxes on individuals on farmers Social Security contributions lowering the cost of labor and of doing business in greece and they will also streamline governments of it doesnt stand in the way of entrepreneurship people seem to believe that new democracy despite being a party that helps to bankrupt greece by overspending in the past under its new technocratic leadership may be capable of delivering on that program and they certainly seem to be willing to see such a program being implemented by any Political Force im jumper up a loss for inside story. Lets bring in our panel in athens via Skype Demetrius hes a political advisor to their syriza party in london vicky pryce she is a chief Economic Advisor at the center for economics and Business Research and also in athens a European Affairs analyst yes simitis welcome to you all id like to begin with demetrius repeated. Your party said or did rather what it said it wasnt going to do and now its going to be punished and the the general election is that right. Well it seems that. On from so far what we have from the polls is that new democracy is ahead on the poll should seems that its a bit of a difficult fight political struggle for syriza. Its soon to be to have some final results but it seems that the situation is is difficult for for the party and it follows the the defeat we had 6. 3 weeks ago when the European Union elections so whats happening here is that you have a electorates thats unhappy with the policies that your government put in place policies that you said you were never going to do and then you did. So whats the next or what what happens next verse or its a why why did you mean do that. Well there are a number of factors why is it is a sin this difficult position electorally the 1st these are that. Actually since 2015 we lost the socalled war on media which is that the domestically which is that the majority of t. V. Stations and private media were endorsing mr mitchel diapers from his very 1st day not his as head of your democracy and mainly what they were doing is to spread propaganda against the government the fact is that seat is actually the seat is a government Prime Minister its it was did actually moneths to stimulate the economy after a long period of recession and a study we did actually. Were forced to adopt a 3rd bailout deal and implement the toughest of the program but at the same time we managed to alleviate the damages for the most vulnerable groups social groups and create some fundamental safety nets why trying to address the huge humanitarian crisis that was headed by the previous government another issue for the difficult position that see the stance right now its the fact that the greek electorates and its majorities exhausted by a state or dicks throughout those 8 years and now this. Negativity in this disappointment is reflected in the governing party cvs are and theres also another 3rd factor i would say that can explain. There the fact that todays losing forces is the fact that the party itself didnt manage to build a strong organizational capacity throughout those 4 years didnt manage to to create and focus on how to build strong links with Society Despite the fact that at the same time it did implemented prosocial political agenda let me bring in bring in yes a mess has whos also in athens youre actually outside the Parliament Building there. Is demetrius writes in his defense of syriza party is it the fact that they tried to do everything they could but simply they lost the middle class vote. Well in that we need to go back to the 2015 drama to figure out how series i came to power they were voted on the ticket though for no worse there would be dead 3 leave and better days regarding corruption and the social inequality in greece in these 4 and a half years they didnt manage to fight the austerity they were forced to sign a 3rd bailout agreement and the debt 3 years were not as extreme as they had promised so much of the population can see this series or to have failed on its promises for less or stare at the my position is that much of the middle class have been over taxed and have been considering syriza as being a very good against business and anti and the free market economy so this is good that series was voted on and it failed to deliver on its promises let me bring in vicky pryce here from london the Greek Economy was in a huge mess at the time so hes the one that won the election and now after 4 and a half years they have allowed us to deliver some of the blame has to be put with the European Union surely they put too stringent conditions on the streets a policy that was too much belt tightening for a country that was struggling to actually afford a belt. Well the European Union and the i. M. F. Put rather stringent conditions on greece even before syriza came to power so we mustnt forget we already had a number of bailouts before since 2010 of course situation had deteriorated the economy was sinking. Have lost about 25 percent of its output before even syriza came to power so they didnt inherit anything particularly solid or safe and of course in addition to all this because of course theres been quite a little delay in reaching an agreement after they were voted in in 2015 we had about 56 months of negotiations we didnt go anywhere we had even worse conditions put on such as capital controls so the Greek Economy suffered even more not a severely as it was doing before but certainly there was no recovery for a bit it took a little while before some signs of improvement were where weve seen that recently i think its mostly because basically there is a limit to how much we can fall we naturally are forces that start bringing you up again and and of course there has been some of that restructuring and the has been a little bit of investment although investment is still very very poor in greece and return of confidence there is now construction going on in greece for the 1st time in ages and when i visit greece and i do that very regularly i was there last week suddenly there were New Buildings going up some hadnt seen in 10 years so there has been a change of sorts of i think this one positive thing about a series i mean just said inherited a very very difficult situation i think the europeans did not understand what they were doing to a considerable extent where they were imposing those conditions on greece. Over series or did manage to do is get lots of implementation of measures without too much disruption in the economy the sense of demonstrations in the strikes there were a few but nothing like as many im guessing. They would have been if they had we had actually a right wing government like new democracy trying to implement those measures they would have been a lot more disruption in the economy and what you have to be astonished and actually be admiring in what to process done is that he was voted on the left wing ticket very radical left wing ticket he actually implemented a right wing policy very effectively and hes still there he has not lost completely in terms of support if you look at the opinion polls he has been receiving about 2425 percent of some time spent 8 percent of the vote for quite some time now so hes still there theres still a lot of support for him despite what the greeks have gone through let me just bring in Demetrius Demetrius repeat as an earth and. You have gone through some tough times with the Political Party but it seems we are quite positive notes coming out from london that some things did change why isnt that reflected the opinion polls why is it likely that they will lose the election well its actually years opposed to sign from from london but its mostly whether told you before. Actually. The cities are government shippers government did it prevent a number of progressive. The dementor bookless of agenda in many different areas just to identify a couple of those the 1st is the on the Health Care System. The government headed a dept of around 70000000000 euros from Public Hospitals and managed to create a surplus of 70000000 euros giving at the same time free access to primary Health Care System to more. Than 2500000 uninsured people. This is Something Big this is a big achievement in my view from from the government the 2nd is that despite the fact that we still havent a long way to go to create quality jobs and decrease our salaries and wages we did manage to lower the Unemployment Rate from around 27. 00 in the beginning of 2015 to 1818. 5 percent today which is soldier a huge achievement because shouldnt the fact that yes we actually didnt have Big Investments we didnt actually have the creation of. High income jobs but at the end of the day we did manage to improve all. Mostly all social and financial indicators wide to do were in a sense difficult position electorally is that as it told you before this thing a long way to go. We didnt pass from a nightmare to a part of the days but actually were still managing to get the country outside the crisis we did concluded with a 3rd bailout deal successfully but we were still facing a crisis in social and economic crisis and. People who possibly expected much for more from our side and we should have done you much more than we have already made to our yanis and also in athens it seems to me that we have a situation here now where we have. A serious a party very much looking after and doing things that were unpopular but ultimately they did work however new democracy is much more center right its much more probusiness and when it comes to implementing austerity measures its going to be a lot tougher perhaps than serious ever will be that might be popular with the middle class votes but its going to alienate the more poorer voters with any grease and in 4 years time are you likely to be facing a situation where the poor actually votel Democracy New Democracy Party because they didnt get what they wanted is it just a merry go round is what im actually asking. Well this is an interesting question because. For the 1st time in the year of the elections weve seen parts of the youth young people voting for new democracy and also pension is voting for a new democracy as well despite the negative campaigning of syriza so. Thank you skim out with a positive agenda saying were not going to scrap the Social Security situation we are not going to raise taxes were going to lower taxes were going to lower the there are some question marks though where this is going to come from all these cuts and the lesser stare at the but still this positive agenda catch the people even the lower wage people there are some people that are afraid about the wage the bulk of the social inequality and this is an issue that the new government needs to face. Mr mitchell darkeys wants to have and free market and very pro investment friendly economy its needs to be seen how the new this new idea of this new model of economy can be inclusive for parts of the society not just the middle class or the opposite losses how the lower classes especially the youth which are much unemployed can coming into this growth friendly environment this market friendly environment and become part of the of the new world its going to be created its a very interesting point hes making that i think the price i want to bring you in here weve seen time and time again a year i. M. F. World Bank Bailouts loans etc all come a very high cost for the country thats implementing the classic example is say probably pakistan which is going through a restructuring of its state right now with the i. M. F. But its putting in place very well. Policies as a cost of doing that that droids social change with any in the country itself because and weve seen it in pakistan weve seen it in greece people rising up people getting out in the streets people protesting and then people blaming poor people and immigrants for the situation that theyre in is there a better way of doing this without causing this belt tightening that is so restricted. Well there is and i think the i. M. F. Itself was told by its own economists that what he was doing was going to be counterproductive because basically you could enter into a sort of vicious cycle and you just cant get out of it except once you reach the bottom really so what happens is if you try and reduce the deficit very fast which is exactly what was going on in greece then you institutional sorts of measures which include cutting back spending obviously raising taxes repeatedly which was exactly what happened in greece cutting pensions which again is exactly what happened in greece are reducing wages more generally which is also a serious serious problem for loads of greeks and that of course leads to spending less money out in the shops collecting less taxes so they were told that very stages they should watch out for that possibility happening which would mean that you need to think again and have perhaps a slightly different way of looking at how a country needs to adjust so we shouldnt do too fast and not sister and of course you alienate people there is no real middle class left in greece about half a 1000000 young educated greeks have emigrated and we know from research thats been done recently that 4 out of 10 of those greeks have no intention of coming back certainly not over the next 10 years but yes there are problems in greece that we have to deal with and maybe new democracy will be able to do it faster series or should have perhaps privatized faster we should have reduced bureaucracy considerably more quickly than its been doing it has been functioning badly but it has not been given the impression to Foreign Investors that its really open for business and it needs to do more to pursue self has been traveling around trying to attract more investment hes actually realize that and ive been to some venture hes actually. Spoke at here in london but of course when you have this bureaucracy when you have concerns that come in such as environmental issues. Rosalita stop redeveloping great big chunks of of bits of athens like the airport is finally moving towards that direction but it puts people off in terms of really coming in and spending money in a country when they just dont know whether the conditions are going to be such to allow them to to get something out of it and there are so many areas the greece can develop that needs a proper strategy for growth i think it can be done but i think going back to your original question the damage has that the e. U. And the policies is of course greeks were to blame up to a point but the damage that those types of policies have done will take a very long time. To get over and people will be suspicious of politicians over any promises that are made to them and i think new democracy will suffer if it can deliver in the future assuming it gets elected of course today dimitrius in. This then the fault of old Northern Europe fronts germany really pushing forward and pushing on greece these policies austerity and knowing that it was going to put greece in the political system there under pressure. Well actually. The bed a system of utas own is but the structure which is that the dog gets of this to be doing growth back cannot be met in such a fragile financial environment in the u. N. Years on and greece along with other Member States but they specially greece was the experiment for the for the limitation of cards or states and europe we have seen in the recent past we have we are already experiencing. Deserving actually similar problems with public deficits and over dept at this by other Member States like for instance you need to leave. But in greece the situation was much tougher comparing to other Member States why because for 2 main main reasons the 1st was that for the last that he is or previous governments didnt manage to create a sustainable viable growth model that the majority could benefit from and at the same time title efficiently bureaucracy and some state burdens that could create a more friendly environment for investments for instance. So she was a head of such a bad situation and its very. Unfair to to to exert some that Harsh Criticism on the government that within all only 4 years managed to create. Jackal all of those problems and issues that were headed by the previous governments the 2nd thing is that we did. See in the previous years that there was a problem with this is the government when it was the go sheeting. With its utopian partners. After the politics which is the 1st critical semester of close to 15 sorry images we all running out of time and i would like to bring in younis kids and that is to counter your point its an interesting thing there were changes happening so its a dead do something to improve the economy now we have likely to be a new government in greece where the new democracy but there are the old allies the old players still exist its frances germanys you and they have very specific things that they wont greece to do are they going to give this new government potentially if it does win the election are much more sympathetic ed than they did the last one. Well this is the the 1000000. 00 euro question because both the series of democracy are promising that there will be a renegotiation of the fiscal targets for the next years for greece i see that this extremely difficult at least for the short future the distant future yes we will we could have some renegotiation but 1st of all the new government should indicate not only b. K. But proof that its very pro reforms very pro open market and its willing to make this necessary changes in the greek Public Sector in the Greek Economy that needs to have a more growth friendly economy this time there will be some friendly gestures from euro zone partners but there needs to be proof in the next months that the new government is really going to implement reforms because syriza did this specific mistake they implemented or stare at the implementing reforms as the portuguese left wing government did together with the hard left. In portugal they implemented reforms and they didnt have any problem with the population and even the lower class people but syriza was very hesitant in implementing reforms and now they want to backtrack on the reforms that already have been agreed with the eurozone partners i just want to thank our panel of experts Dimitri Dimitris sorry vicky pryce and yanis kids and that is and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website aljazeera dot com and further discussion guys call Facebook Page facebook dot com thoughts last a j inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter handle is at inside story for me and the whole team.

All those counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity include rape conscripting child soldiers sexual in slave meant forcing populations from their homes and these relate specifically to atrocities that were allegedly committed in 20022003 where theyre going to go on his involvement with armed groups actually began when he was about 17 years old so a child soldier according to the u. N. Standards when he fought with the Rwandan Patriotic front which later brought one the regime to power in 1940 subsequently fought with a number of different armed groups in eastern congo several of which have been backed by by rwanda but the jurisdiction of the International Criminal court only began in 2001 and specifically these crimes in 20022003 that hes been accused of by prosecutors. And now come up to people think about this trial over in the d. R. See. It really depends who you ask that conflict in the early 2000 led to very brutal interethnic violence between militias connected to ethnic groups some people feel they were protected by and to god and others feel that theyve been victims of heinous crimes that hes allegedly committed or committed by people in the armed groups that he was a commander of Rights Groups and activists if there is a guilty verdict will certainly be praising the fact that theres been some justice in an area where actually thats kind of a rarity where often people arent held to account in the eastern congo as many conflicts but another thing that critics will be pointing to is that all of these armed groups most of them operating in eastern. To have connections to powerful people politicians in kinshasa or in neighboring uganda or in rwanda and so in some ways as one former child soldier told me he says that he served on the it was conscripted on the boss going to ground him to got there was in fact as he described it just a mercenary operating for these more powerful players and so some people would be saying yes good that there is some justice if we if we do see a guilty verdict but on the other hand. Hes saying that its still not the really big fish that are being held to account and ok mark on what their life is in nairobi thank you. And we will bring you the verdict on the trial as it happens. That sends out the yes no graces conservative opposition they dared carry our course and its a myth so that this will be sworn in as Prime Minister in the coming few hours this after his new Democracy Party won the general election icing the left and Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras the other loser in the poll is the far right golden dawn which was not sights of parliament John Psaropoulos as mourner from athens. The leader of the new Democracy Party got 40 years to pull not just a majority but an outright one that allows the conservatives to rule on their own for the 1st time in 50 years idiocracy took ickes says it will allow him to implement an ambitious Reform Program unhindered by Coalition Partners occlusion asking close but this wasnt just an expression of the will to close a painful chapter for our country it was much more than back to the fate of the people in their strength is the desire to take our fates into our own hands and use to prove that we can do great things in our own country. Much the pressure is now on me to attack us to deliver on his promise to bring growth to the Greek Economy and help create 700000 jobs in his 1st hes planning to do it partly through tax cuts but greece can only afford them if the international bailout creditors agree to cut repayments its a goal that eluded previous governments since the beginning of government austerity measures imposed in 2010 when greece faced bankruptcy because of its massive debts the victory of me to thank yous and 4 and a half years of rule by series a Prime Minister alexis to put us raised the coalition of the radical left from obscurity to seize power from the new Democracy Party in the last election and 2015 as promised he would be the vanguard of a left wing revolution across europe to defeat the austerity policies imposed on greece that caused recession and unemployment. Ultimately capitulated to those policies in order to keep greece in the eurozone despite cities are raising the minimum wage cutting sales tax and offering more benefits to pensioners this year it seems to have been too little too late but. Like. Received mr mr tarkus into the palace so to hand over to him the office of Prime Minister as is done in the democratic stage i would like to from the bottom of my heart thank all the members and friends of our party who gave a good fight in a viable condition. In order to double its growth rate of growth much faster greece will need huge levels of Foreign Investment in the coming years and that will be perhaps the biggest challenge on the economic front and that needs a lot of structural reform which sometimes takes time theres more at stake here than the economy for the past decade greeks have watched their politicians being dictated to by their creditors the International Monetary fund and the euro because those politicians didnt want to assume ownership of unpopular reforms. Like his predecessor its a thank you says he wants to restore greek sovereignty and dignity but unlike when he wants to do it in collaboration with European Union partners.

And the Sea Internationalism urging the un to investigate the socalled war on drugs in the philippines which it has described as murderous in a new reports the Rights Group Says extrajudicial executions are continuing unabated and in some cases can be directly linked to the Police Report found victims of the crackdown are overwhelmingly from poor and marginalized communities philippines president. Has voted to continue the war on drugs when in his final 3 years in office will be the most dangerous people into drugs jamila and organ has more for manila. The Amnesty International report released today is a continuation of what it is shared in 2017 but this time it focuses on one key area the province of block on in the northern part of the philippines according to its researchers it says the drug related operations by police and killings are linked with armed groups on the air is similar to the patterns made in different areas in the past since president toledo dared to launch the socalled war on drugs in 2016 but it there is one pattern that strikes the most to researchers of amnesty and that is that commanders coming from different parts of metro manila have been moved with higher ranks and positions in block on and that follows the sharp rise of killings in the area and as expected based on the different kinds of statements issued by the Philippine Government in the past when it comes investigations like this the Philippine Government through exports person has been dismissive of this report according to the spokesperson today it says amnesty is politicizing. The situations and there should be other avenues in which amnesty can try to compile its reports with other Human Rights Organisations and instead of going to the media according to the Philippine Government it should fall cases instead but you see Amnesty International is saying that statement alone is problematic because out of the thousands of killings believed to be linked with police and other armed groups there has only been one prosecution that has happened since the socalled war on drugs was launched in 2016 well earlier i spoke with requests from the Sea International he wants the United Nations to take action. These cases clearly show a pattern of extrajudicial execution by police or People Associated with the police what is new is that we are seeing a new epicenter of the murderous enterprise that president directors of launch was the war on drugs in 2016 this is a new location is a location where high ranking officials who where previously in charge of metro manila have moved in over the past year what it shows also is that people are executed simply for being on the socalled drug watch list which are listed that are compiled at the local level outside of any Legal Process we are also seen a complete failure to hold accountable anyone for it does murders and theres a complete climate of impunity thats why what our conclusion in this report is
