Im going to go with the sports the World Antidoping Agency find itself facing criticism from all sides of the hunting russia for you banned from all sports. Thank you for joining us we begin this news hour with a Nobel Peace Prize in oslo ethiopias Prime Minister abi ahmed has just received the prize for his efforts saying reaching peace with neighboring every trio made was recognized for his role in ending a decades long military standoff and reestablishing relation. Between the 2 countries receiving the prestigious award the Prime Minister said he was accepting it on behalf of all ethiopians and eritreans who made he said the ultimate sacrifice for peace. Is a level of love sustaining peace is the hard work yes were most childish and not achieve it it takes a few to make war but it takes a village and a nation to build peace for me nurturing peace is like planting and growing trees just like trees need water in good soil to grow peace requires unwavering commitment in finite patience and goodwill to cultivate in the heart of us its dividends. Well i speak to a diplomatic editor James Spaders who has been listening in to the Prime Ministers speech there in chains a very personal message a message of peace from the therapy and Prime Minister a very personal one yes and people talk about his humility and i think in some ways that is what the speech was about it was interesting when we heard from the chairperson of the Norwegian Nobel Committee that she made it clear that he was a just a recipient of this war a war even though hes only been in power for 20 months she also laid out though the situation with eritrea although he was the architect of the peace that perhaps that hadnt been reciprocated fully from the other side he though when he started his speech he said he was accepting it all bar for himself and his eritrean counterpart. Theme of humility continued to the speech as he talked about the philosophy that he lived by the village where he came from and his life as a young soldier on the battlefield in that war between eritrea and ethiopia. And the the fact that you know the Norwegian Nobel Committee chairperson tough about the work being at a standstill in her speech and the challenges that he faces what quite was quite also significant an interesting lesson it yeah absolutely because things are not going all that well since it was 1st announced that he was going to get the Nobel Peace Prize and you have a backdrop of regional political mastic tension in the country and a huge number of internally displaced people in ethiopia she made it quite clear that this was not the Nobel Committee said you are the man to run ethiopia for over a country thats had lots of strongman in the past or that is worth going back to the humility that we saw from the Prime Minister im remembering that when he came to power in april april 28th in the time he did not win an election his predecessor resigned and he was put in place in the job by parliament he faces a really big challenge coming up in may he faces an election i thank you for that james bays our diplomatic editor live here in doha and as james mentioned the Prime Minister being recognized for his efforts of course to resolve the conflict with every tree but the award as you saw was not shared with eritreas leader priyanka go take spains why in this report. It was a moment few eritreans and a few peons had expected to see in their lifetime soldiers once enemies entered their shared border open for the 1st time in 20 years last years formal peace deal initiated break here piers new leader are being hammered and it didnt decades long military standoff it also ended every 2 years years of diplomatic isolation. For his efforts to bring peace to the region. P. S. Leader was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize but that owner was not extended to eritrea as leader president is a us africa is one party state has been accused of continuing its crackdown on dissent and maintaining its grip on power. And eritrea has since shut its border the whole Peace Process in a way that has turned out in the way that the word is trying to tell. White washes or. Tries to rehabilitate the image of where it is that when it hasnt. Budged even the slightest reason africa is jades thousands of political activists journalists and rights campaigners some of them have been in prison for nearly 20 years their whereabouts are unknown we havent seen any signs whatsoever of openings whether its in terms of the release of high profile. Since since the. Former minister of finance was actually arrested all calling on the government to reform to implement the constitution so we are not seeing any steps whatsoever in precedence is i. S. F. Work is restrictive state young eritreans are forced to join the military often serving indefinitely and thats led to a generation of refugees desperate to escape a system described by activists as nothing short of modern day slavery a system has been in place since the order. With one of the excuses was that they needed to cheat country on a walk out in theory you know according to the government itself they have made a Peace Agreement with with the european governments and yet we havent seen any signs of willingness or interest of taking even small. Eritreas location. The red sea and swiss canal has made it a coveted ally for countries like the u. A. E. And russia countries that are seeking influence in the horn of africa for trade and political ambitions the u. A. E. Has built a military base with secret prisons in the port of a sub off editor Southern Coast as the world celebrates a peace deal between the african neighbors millions of eritreans are still waiting to see if life will change for the better Priyanka Gupta aljazeera. Well lets not speak to know who is a senior lecturer in law at Kiel University his life on the new south and you so much for being with us there are those who say that this award was too premature that it came too early in i. B. M. Its premiership what are your thoughts. I do i dont believe its too early or too premature and i think one of the reasons why it was important to recognize that we are met is the fact that he came to the political scene out of nowhere to be a sickly very quickly tried to change the tube in Political Landscape at least in terms of opening the political space but also made it dealing with it 3 of which required. I think some some cottage in a determination because theyre all of some Strong Political forces within a few bits of us that were not interested in making a deal with it each year so its not really the question of how long he has been in power but i think the determination that youre shown the commitment that he has dorman it demonstrated to give peace a chance not just with eritrea but also in the region internally in the 2 of us where weve heard about the changes that have happened in ethiopia since he came to power but what has the peace deal with each ethiopia eritrea rather achieved for eritrea and. I think the question that you whos really arises in these kinds of you know high profile recognition is whether this recognition actually generated the kind of outcome that you wanted to get it which is in the case of it here for example this is a highly repressive torito in a state people expect that the peace accord with you would be a would somehow. That side of the problem but unfortunately it is. Really difficult to change is 83. 00 and leaderships mindsets. And i think one thing that we hope this will do was because there wouldnt be the justification for its year to keep a huge number of soldiers and to keep the National Service out around them that would have created opportunities for people was in any sort of to ask questions and to demand political change in their own country and that i think thats one of the reason why you saw us into of quote the border with eritrea with you to a bit so i think there is it limits in terms of what one can expect of the peace accord. Democratic change with the details concerned. It is ethiopias 1st Prime Minister hailing from the aroma group which is ethiopias Largest Ethnic Group which spearheaded no mass on by government protests that forces predecessor i am dishonest to step down but hes coming to power hasnt really reduced yet the tensions in ethiopia as weve seen recently why is that you think. Youre absolutely right that b. I made a came to power on the call the struggle of 2 or more people particularly the or more use called the kate moss who paid very dearly to bring about this change since coming to power he tried to reach out to the Different Actors in the country but the divisions are just too deep house been around for all that this century and its very difficult for anyone to be able to bring these actors together in such a short period of time. So i think the country is going to struggle it is important the Prime Minister listens to all activists to all stakeholders on all sides but i think solving it europe is internal fractures mending the issues that were to depart exult of you know the terrible governance of the last several decades that is going to take a very long time thank you very much for speaking to us and sharing your thoughts our analysts a senior lecturer in not Key University thank you for your time lets turn our attention to other world news now on this news hour in a quarter nigeria has sentenced to former Prime Ministers to long prison terms for corruption minister ahmed or yaya was given 15 years in prison for corruption charges his predecessor. Also sentenced to 12 years former parliament speaker. Has been given 20 is the charges came from sweeping fraud investigations after the former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika stepped down in april. Is executive director of the Nordic Center for conflict transformation he says the sentencings are an important moment while jerry. In the 1st time in algeria Prime Ministers are tried since the independence of the country and what is important to mention also the trials. Are selective and the informal enforcement is also elective and this comes in haim when elections have already started outside of syria among the algerian obviously and in the context in which the process process continue for over 40 years and by this i would like to thank the young women and men who are in the streets in ontario in the last trading for more than 40 weeks and this is not what they expected from the system. It is not really about the the the census in itself but its about how the same system that created these judges who are pronouncing the sentences is the same system that created how these ministers were Holding Power allegedly and misusing allegedly the public funds so these are the main question that needs to be massive.

Catch us Prime Minister is meeting gulf leaders and meet hopes of an easing of the regions diplomatic crisis he greeted saudi arabias king salmon after arriving at the 40th Gulf Cooperation Council in the saudi capital Riyadh Saudi Arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain any diplomatic and economic ties with qatar and 2017 they accuse the country of supporting terrorism in a charge which still has repeatedly tonight lets bring in our senior political analyst bashara for more on this marwan what are your expectations of this summit can there be some sort of a consolation after this well weve already heard the final communique and it sounds like theyve reached a number of understanding we dont have any clear sign about any specific of the gulf crisis for say with cutter but certainly theres a lot of seems to be theres a lot of goodwill out there talking about all sorts of unions and and unifications are a number of issues and the united on military financial and other affairs theres of course always the topic of how to manage some of this issues the fact that there was what looked like a warm reception for the 1st time in the last 2 or 3 years for the Prime Minister of qatar in an area that did board well for something more optimistic and the fact that there was a closed session called for by the king of saudi arabia thats also could be interpreted as a sign that they were getting down to business that this is not just simply for show but rather the leaders are sitting down and discussing seriously some of the issues at hand as i said the final communique in the german general sounds quite positive. So what are the obstacles then that still need to be overcome to resolve this crisis milan well theres been of course lots of lots of tension and distrust for the last 2 and a half years and clearly qatar is not going to go back to any of the previous understandings reached in riyadh because it was stabbed in the back and it was certainly more assurances and guarantees and those 40 will not happen in one event this is going to be a process short or long but definitely a process and today we had an important signpost where the qatari Prime Minister did attend d was well received thats a thats a good sign in the sense theres no reckless. Abstention or leaving or not attending and theyre also not of laws so of lets hug and kiss and everything would be ok kind of thing so it would be a number of events it would be a process and certainly within that process we will see what happened but clearly there are lots of signs today than there were 2 months ago in us fighters resolving
