N. Says leaders must do more to ease the plight of refugees lets get the latest now from our diplomatic editor james bays who is there and so james the conditions that lead to people fleeing their home countries and our response to it very much turning into a defining issue of the century. One of the issues of the century as you say and one of the issues here at davos is the issue of refugees and of migration we have as you say Business Leaders we have political leaders and we have humanitarian leaders and one of those is the head of the u. N. Refugee agency the high commissioner who is here filippo grandy thank you for joining us to explain to us focused why do you think its important for you to come to a gathering like this what do you hope to achieve and what so far this week do you think you have achieved the central theme of this forum is a fractured world and how we can build a shared future to court the theme in the structure of the world now which symptom is more typical of a fractured war at that than refugees theyre really the result of this fracture so it is very much a theme which is of interest to us and it is important for me here to meet Business Leaders political leaders and remind them that in building in trying to to develop a diest for this shared future they should not forget those that are the most eminent victims of this fracture and you talk about political leaders we have heads of state heads of government Foreign Ministers are you speaking to them about doing more taking in more refugees were speaking about that for sure. Constantly and were speaking also to Business Leaders which is also what is very interesting here in davos and many theres a lot of Business Leaders that are interested in developing new ways to address to gather this problem of refugees and this is really extremely important and interesting thats the big issue in your job there always are emergencies underway one of them the situation in Northern Syria how concerned are you about the flows of people im concerned because as we are some people Start Talking about. Returns which is really premature we see in fact new displacement around the area where theres been fighting as we know recently weve seen a over two hundred thousand new displaced people of course some are going back home so its a very complex situation at the moment and they think we have to exercise the utmost prudence in considering the future of refugees or to be able to cope with these flows well unfortunately we have a big machine on the ground because weve been there in syria and in countries surrounding syria dealing with displaced and refugees for years and years now so that machine can cope with that but thats really not the issue the issue is why you have to so many years and with Peace Process or Peace Process is in the happening we still have fighting that produce produces displacement this is the real problem i commission id like to ask you about a story which is about afghanistan and the attack in afghanistan we hear many times of all of the afghans who left the country you know driving some of the whole way here to europe we hear european leaders saying afghanistan now its safe its time to go back its the same issue is afghanistan say well this tragic attack of yesterday which actually follows many tragic attack seen in kabul and other places in afghanistan is first and foremost a reminder that the situation remains unsafe for the civilians in afghanistan and this is really the message that we continue to convey to countries hosting afghans be patience we need to reconstruct afghanistan we to rebuild security before we can talk about return for everybody so it has to remain evolving tree an individual choice but hes also a reminder of the risks that are run by humanitarian agencies that the attack here was against save the children i mean. Save the children one of the most noble n. G. O. S doing work for children around the world and that becomes the target of a terrorist attacks so its a its an episode that unfortunately carries many worrying messages that we should reflect on what you tell the leaders here when you speak to them about afghanistan particularly this designation of people from afghanistan from migrants or are they refugees why did it really depends and the assessment has to be done on a case by case basis for those that the for example arrived here in europe but i think that what also the situation says is that investments in rebuilding afghanistan have to be more and more focused there has to be there is a security imperative there clearly but then there are many other investments that have to be made in order to make for example the return of those that come back from europe or come back from pakistan in the in a more sustainable high commissioner thank you very much for joining us on aljazeera and talking about afghanistan and a place that youve served in the past and the wider issues of refugees of course here at davos we are waiting for the arrival in the next twenty four hours of a man whose policy on refugees im sure they are commissioners are a little bit too polite to criticize but obviously will be in the spotlight and that of course is the president of the United States maria yes thats right it promises to be an interesting final few days there at the World Economic forum at davos thank you very much and diplomatic editor james bays watching it all for us well now a Brazilian Court is expected to rule shortly on former president louise and asio in a disability pale against a corruption conviction which could have a major impact on his political comeback a popular politician known across the country as was given a nine and a half Year Prison Sentence last year for Money Laundering and corruption is leading the polls for octobers president ial election and has been touring massive crowds to his rallies. Well terry is a bow joins us live from puerto allegro interest at the last time we spoke one of the judges had decided to uphold the conviction the corruption and Money Laundering any news of when the rulings will come in from the other two judges. Well its probably going to be a very long day here because the first judge before voting spoke with you for about three hours we know that judges have just returned from a short recess and they have started now the trial once again lets not forget that the when the first judge voted you know totally not only asked for us convict him to be maintained but also for the fan tends to be increased from nine and a have years to twelve years and one month he was very very he said that there was enough proof to actually come back to the president that there was enough took to show that there was a link between a Construction Company that allegedly gave the vote for a former president out apartment that was renovated and that in exchange the former president helped to get contracts with the countrys state owned company et cetera with us also he said that you look at what the commander of a corrupt system for because he had the capacity at the time of naming the directors of the state oil company petrodollars this country is completely divided theres protests all around the country for the operation carwash which is the biggest Anti Corruption investigation in this country and for those who are defending let us feel about those all of them theyre surrounding me now theyre very vigilant theyre very angry with what is happening here in brazil they say that with an election without you will would be like committing fraud and theyre saying that were going to take to the streets if the president is conviction is maintained and this is the dilemma right now yes there are protests and a great deal of anger against the level of corruption but also. There is quite a unique and very popular figure in the country if these convictions are upheld and we cant run in the election how much more unrest could that be. Why its so very u
