Sri lankas Easter Sunday bombings river. Around the world with religious and ethnic tension rising 101 investigates it is the new front line in sri lanka on aljazeera. Aljazeera. Where ever you are. One of the really special things about working for aljazeera is that even as a camera woman i get to have so much empathy and contribution to a story i feel we cover this region better than anyone else working for us as you know is that it tends to be but in this particular because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues.

North koreas leader says hes waiting for a positive move from the United States to get stalled Nuclear Talks back on track the comments reported by Chinese State media were made as kim jong un welcomed chinas president xi jinping to pyongyang is a jim brown. This is a visit its been a Long Time Coming but was only confirmed on monday the welcoming ceremony for president xi jinping and 1st lady punk came with military honors and seamless pageantry Chinese State media said pee on yang was awash with exuberance. A reception that possibly exceeded anything she could even expect in his own country the last time a chinese head of state was here was 14 years ago a reflection of a relationship that in recent years has often been strained mainly over north Koreas Nuclear bomb and missile development. So i think this is about repairing the relationship between pyongyang in beijing which has been very rocky ever since. Korea. In the 1st wave having its about that in the shorter term about. North korea and china getting on the same page about denuclearization negotiations with the u. S. Which have installed president she said the International Community wants those negotiations to succeed and china is willing to help during the past 15 months hes met kim 4 times in china but this was their 1st encounter since kim met u. S. President donald trump in hanoi 4 months ago which ended without any agreement on north Korean Nuclear disarmament officially president xi is in pyongyang because its 70 years since china and north korea established diplomatic relations with the visits also happening just days before hes due to meet the u. S. President donald trump who so far been unable to persuade him to give up his Nuclear Arsenal but a former Senior North Korean diplomat believes kim is using she as a messenger to pass on a new offer to try the could end the impasse they want to use the prison says in as a kind of maybe in g. 20 brzezinskis in ping use coming to joe pan next week and president season playing may deliver this new all directly to President Trump so now its up to President Trump read it she would accept this new proposal or not so shes visit to pyongyang appears timely what happens here could well determine the outcome of his planned meetings with President Trump next weekend adrian brown al jazeera asia. Lets bring in scott snyder who is director of the u. S. Korea policy program at the council on Foreign Relations joins us live from washington d. C. Scott so what do you make of this especially given the time you had of the g. 20 summit. Well the timing is axel in terms of especially generating speculation about the possibility that she could bring a message from kemp to trump obviously this really helps xi jinping in terms of having an issue in the u. S. Trying to a relationship where the u. S. United states and china actually have a prospect of agreeing with each other you know the trade issue hong kong taiwan those are all much more difficult than north korea and this also puts xi jinping back in the game on the Korean Peninsula in a way that we havent seen in a long time for china so 1st and foremost its about repairing a relationship thats been pretty strained over the nuclear issue. Yes i think that remains the outstanding issue one really interesting question is how she jinping is talking to kim jong un about that issue in his initial front page editorial in the note on shin moon xi jinping actually did not mention denuclearization but played up Economic Cooperation and shared Strategic Communications and trusts and so you know the piece on denuclearization is a missing piece that clearly the u. S. Government is hoping that she didnt bring also drives home as a critical issue that needs to be dealt with in the relationship between the u. S. And north korea to what degree do you think shes paying would be seeing as its use the phrase go betweens im sure he wouldnt want to regard himself as that bit you know what i mean between kim jong un and donald trump. Well hes certainly placed himself in an air meter a role but china has its own set of an interest and so i believe that she also intends to put his finger on the scale in a way that pushes forward to nuclearization but that also pushes forward chinese geopolitical interests instability and in influence on the Korean Peninsula in ways that might not happen in a conversation just between trump and if the u. S. And north korea resume bilateral talks that rise to that level then when you say it will put its finger on the scale what do you mean by that what could he bring to back. China has its own geo political interests in retaining influence on the peninsula one problem with the u. S. North korea dialogue on denuclearization from a chinese perspective is that it also leaves open the possibility that u. S. Influence on the peninsula would expand as the Us North Korea relationship improves but if china puts itself in the middle and becomes a part of the denuclearization and Peace Process in a significant way then china can also ensure that its that the situation develops according to its own Strategic Interests and that will also put pressure on the us military presence in south korea scott shy to preach about thanks very much. Thank you. Now the u. N. Secretary general doesnt believe he has the power to set up a criminal investigation into the murder of saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi a report from a special report to agnes kalama found the state of saudi arabia responsible for his death and says there are legal grounds for there all the grounds for internal terrorist to launch an International Inquiry which imo is so g. s fiance had to use changes has spoken to rogers there and she says the world has been left in the dog about saudi arabias investigation. When it comes to the comments from shippey and others saudi officials that the u. N. Report did not come with anything new i would like to ask them why they didnt put the paper tried his own public trial and why he didnt hold them accountable why cant the saudis be more open and provide us with details of the investigation and the socalled trial that is happening behind closed doors. Well lets pretend our. Fellow at the Brookings Doha Center joins us live on welcome to the program. This report was done it was and what do you think the broader implications of it oh well of course theres the worry that as with other similar reports that this will this is yet another report that will probably lead to additional damning reports without any sort of subsequent enforceable action but i do think that this report is significant for a number of reasons it makes very clear that identifying those individuals who are criminally responsible for the murder of a general shoji is extremely important but there are other things that need to be taken into account those who couldnt with those who ordered and committed the crime those who failed to prevent the crime from from taking place to begin with but secondly the report sort of draws on the broader problem in saudi arabia of the detention of political dissidents and journalists and the other extrajudicial killings global surveyor loads of those who express views that are contrary to the government etc and it calls for on the un in particular to take measures to address that and i think thirdly agnus calmar the special repertory also alluded to the importance of other forms of justice so not just criminal accountability but also political justice Economic Justice and symbolic justice so i think this report takes a more sort of broader view of what can be done in the case of georgia will it point to the us. Until we get there is a 2nd general saying that is not within his power to organize all toward a criminal investigation thats right well its an interesting statement the report alluded to a 2009 secretary general decision by ban kimoon of the time to is that appoint a panel of experts to for on accountability for crimes in sri lanka and so there is a precedent there i think that we know that saudi arabia has exerted. Immense pressure on the United Nations to not pursue these forms of accountability we know back in 2016 for example. Bank human had removed saudi arabia from a list of shame soon after it was added to it and that was reportedly in response to threats by saudi arabia to cut funding to you and agencies and so i think its plausible to perhaps argue that theres been immense pressure from the saudis. For this not to not to go forward for a criminal investigation its really do wonder that even if there was a group as you go to another report as you say. You know what would happen then what difference would that make anyway. Its a good question and its a question that affects not just the case of but many others what weve see this and the cases of syria for example. The use of universal jurisdiction in countries such as germany where weve seen arrest warrants for a legit syrian perpetrators so thats thats a potential avenue to use that documentation that comes out of such criminal investigations and pursue universal jurisdiction cases now its another story if we actually see the physical presence of the suspects in courts but for many victims just the naming and shaming alone especially in such difficult cases is a form of justice in and of itself but that said i think that you know theres theres a lot to be said about these other forms of justice such as you know erecting a memorial a statue a statue in memory of what has stood for as the special repertoire alluded to and so theres a lot of work to be done by Civil Society and perhaps even by those in the saudi diaspora who sympathize with what has stood for right and what about within saudi itself the report is full of baseless allegations and that should curls its own investigation you know i mean none of those statements are surprising of course but the special repertory did make it very clear this is an International Crime on so many levels the violation of the right to life torture the use of force extra extra territorially and she also alluded to the fact that the u. S. Has a stake in resolving this issue now of course so long as the trumpet ministration which has an immense disdain for any kind of criminal accountability and it wasnt that long ago when john bolton the National Security adviser threatened to prosecute i. C. C. International criminal Court Officials should they open an investigation into alleged u. S. Involvement in war crimes in afghanistan and so there is a culture of. Judicial killings within the u. S. Anyway. Also internationally whether its through drone strikes etc so its interesting that she calls very strong on the last 2 to address this but i dont think of a thing that happened or well leave it there for now. Thank you very much thank you q now the Saudi Led Coalition fighting in yemen says its a drone strike on saudi city near the border earlier he said their operation had interrupted traffic at the airport just the latest in a series of attacks by the who thinks these are you the strikes are in retaliation for the kingdoms war on yemen now into its 5th year. So dont protest as back on the streets demanding an immediate transfer of power to a civilian government theyve rejected calls for talks by the military joined and they want justice of the Security Forces killed dozens of activists in an attack on june the 3rd and the judges says its investigating the incident but its also dismissed a state prosecutor after he denied his office was consulted ahead of the attack. As this report. The familiar chant to protest is fill the night once again signaling thats a dance revolution is far from over.

The protesters have little trust in the military leadership. Up to this months violent crackdown led by a Paramilitary Group known as Rapid Support forces dozens of unarmed people were killed hundreds injured and many others alleged Sexual Assault but saddams military chantelle wants negotiations to resume and that is our work 91 we are removing our call to all Political Forces and the forces of the declaration of freedom and change and we are saying to them come there is no need to put preconditions for dialogue there is no need to prolong the people suffering there is no government working now in the citizens have been affected a lot in our Foreign Policy harmed by the lack of government we cannot afford to remain without a government any more we do not want things out of control a new coup could be carried out because of the countrys impasse.
