Well they havent responded yet to the course directive or the core statement because for the last 3 days the military has been trying to reach out to so many factions so many opposition groups and stakeholders as they call them in mali money in politics to agree on a transition timetable to agree on a Transitional Government already a course or spelt out its own conditions about how the transition government will look like 1st of all they want a civilian to be president a civilian to be Prime Minister all at worst i retired military officer to be a Prime Minister or president under the disposition and that they want to see the Transition Program carried out in 12 months not more than that but the military in in in in mali is asking for a 2 year Transition Program at least a year less than what they were origin a look looking for from echoes when the mediation started some weeks ago now when they are chief this in the next one week or so its very difficult to say because already there have been some agreed disagreement between participants of the dialogue between the military and the opposition in in mali over the last one week over the composition of the Negotiations Committee or concentrations committee some people felt that they were. Deliberately excluded from that from that negotiation and they dont feel comfortable with the military they believe that the military have some ideas behind what a Transitional Government should look like so its going to be a very difficult task for them to achieve unless all sides are willing to make concessions deep concessions in fact ok ahmed thank you for that update from a boozer.

An inquiry into the 27000 bombing at a concert in the broader city of manchester has wrapped up for the day 22 people were killed when an attacker detonated his explosives at a concert by singer Ariana Grande day being choir we will examine possible security failings in the lead up to the attack family members of victims and survivors will also make statements last month the bombers brother was jailed for life for his role in planning the attack paul brennan is outside the manchester courts with more. Well theres certainly a high level of expectation from the relatives that they will get answers to exactly what happened in that bomb attack and the lead up to its there are some concerns that the Security Services will be able to give evidence from behind closed doors. The relatives will not be allowed to have a representative in the room. During that testimony but they are given the benefit of the doubt at the moment a strong saunders who is the inquiry chairman to give the m i 5. Witnesses. A full interrogation to try to get to the bottom of exactly what the Security Services knew. Thats just one part of it but the actual bombing on the night doesnt actually need to look a lot wider of what happened before that because it seems red flags are being raised about some an idea and his actions even before that and how much a freak is the chief executive of the Ramadan Foundation in manchester he says or thor to use ignored legitimate concerns that were raised before the attack. The time of the bombing i i said quite clearly that those a youth worker who saw a baby a beret the mom who was speaking against isis in the ideology and that was reported to the Counterterrorism Hotline there were other examples of other people in the community from within the Libyan Community who were also concerned about that and there reported that as well so we need to know what happened who knew what and i think the other aspect of it which is really important is that ultimately the person responsible for this heinous crime is the terrorist and his brother but overall weve got to learn lessons to make sure that it doesnt happen again and if god forbid it does happen again our intelligence agencies our police on Emergency Services prepared for that eventuality in this case we want to hear what happened what information was given to the authorities and what the aftermath was once the bombing happened how did Emergency Services respond we know Police Officers and ambulances werent allowed to go into did we need to treat people so families one and says on that but i think is one aspect that we havent discussed and shame that we havent in our public debate and that is our involvement in the war in libya selman a baby his family and many of the libyans were allowed to travel to libya to become hardened criminals to be brainwashed into supporting terrorism indeed be a fighting khadafy and we as in the United Kingdom we turned a blind eye to that we doubted to come back to this country and we dont know what safeguards were an important place to screen these people on their return and thats a big red herring that hasnt been addressed open till now.

Go home i am the resumption of the extradition hearing and the many and vocal supporters of jude in the sun out in numbers again sanjay arrived in a prison van from the high security jail on the edge of london where hes being held. In one sense none of the arguments have changed the u. S. Says hes guilty of spying and wants him to face a court in the states hes back as say his case the threats to the rule of law and to the foundations of proper journalism what happens. To people like you before me. Not everybody because most journalists would comply. But those who are not who are real journalists. Or recall of for. The whole governments to. Real secrets are doing. But not always on the street should do. They will be approved the latest attempt to destroy the case is based on claims that the cia illegally monitored conversations between the sanj and his lawyers it is now confirmed that legally privileged conversations between julian its lawyers were spied upon and the recordings of that were delivered to the United States so that in itself should. Lead to dismissal it is a very long time ago that wiki leaks published the Video Evidence of American Forces attacking john lists and other innocent people in iraq evidence that in another context would be applauded as the uncovering of war crimes and classic public interest. And liz im 7 years holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy and a huge toll on a son has mental and physical health have offered him the status of a free speech mata to his supporters if not to sections of the british media and the governments of full 160. 00 lawyers have signed a joint statement saying that there are no grounds whatsoever for this extradition to continue so its hardly a fringe issue really the concern is that its supposedly democratic countries criminalize Investigative Journalism then what hope is there anywhere else barring any surprises the case will run for 3 m
