The money. I am. Thank you so much for your company everyone. United nations officials have taken charged. A saudi teenager who defied deportation from thailand. Says shes fleeing appears and barricaded herself in a Bangkok Hotel room to avoid being returned to her family who she says want to kill our own began posting on twitter with calls for help on sunday shows to travel on war star and apply for asylum there a sign of hope for a half mohammed. These pictures show the young saudi woman leaving the airport in bangkok together with officials from the Un Refugee Agency the u. N. H. C. R. Will assess whether she can be granted Refugee Status protecting her from deputation this marks a pause in a tense standoff that began on saturday. Arrived from saudi arabia but passports seized by a saudi diplomat initially thailand said it would deport her because she didnt meet visa requirements. The eighteen year old then barricaded herself in an Airport Hotel room she drew attention to her plight on social media quickly gathering tens of thousands of followers she said she feared for her life after her family threatened her for announcing islam and cutting her hair. Im not leaving my old until i see you and age. I wont aside from. The title thirty seem to perform a dramatic about face then promising not to deport. Love i doubt we have how time come we will talk to her and do whatever she requests yes kate trouble to seek help and we are the land of smiles but we will not send anyone to that. We want to do that by we will adhere to human rights and principles and to the rules of law which would map. Thailand is not a signatory to the Un Refugee Convention and provides no Legal Protection to Asylum Seekers but the United Nations says it will do everything in its power to help welcome new. Well for the latest lets talk now to Phil Robertson from Human Rights Watch in bangkok who has been helping coordinate efforts to prevent deportation certainly to have you with us so immediate deportation has been averted but just to be clear is one half now under the care of the u. N. H. C. R. Thats our understanding she has been registered as a refugee with them and theyre going to continue doing interviews with her to fully assess her status issue is confirmed as a refugee then she will. Presumably be assisted to seek safety in a third country its not quite clear where what country that might be but. Eventually she would be able to find a safe and secure your place how one do you expect the u. N. H. C. R. To take to process and assess her case. I think they recognize like everyone that this is an urgent and sensitive case and theyll try to move as fast as possible on this you know i dont expect its going to be months or years i think its probably going to be weaker maybe months but not too long because i think that is a very high profile case and everybody recognizes that shes still at risk what are you being concerns right now well one of the main concerns is that her father is a saudi Government Official is supposed to arriving here tomorrow in thailand and were concerned that he might try to do something to try to take her back or to try to assert control over her shes eighteen years old she should be allowed to decide who she wants to see and who she doesnt want to see and we want to make sure that there are no games played by the saudi government to try to do something to take her back have you been in touch with her have you spoken to her how is she yes yes i mean obviously relieved but she was tremendously tired she didnt eat much very today during the ordeal while she was barricaded in the room so i think she tonight is shes finally getting out her first good. Nights sleep for a very very long time. Has any country a come forward at this stage and showed willingness to offer a half asylum. Its a little bit too early to say what will happen is that you and h. R. Will complete their process probably in the next couple days and then they will turn to various Different Countries and find out who might be willing to consider right now perhaps a case has been unfolding and real time on social media what happens when a tension wanes. Well i think that we will not see attention way and i think that there is a great deal of interest in the Global Community in her case i think that the media you know turned out significant numbers its been a huge story globally and i think that people will continue to be interested in till she actually gets to a safe place Phil Robertson from here in the rights watch and bangkok thank you sir for your time thank you. Our lets bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. A u. S. Guided missile destroyer has sailed near the disputed parsel islands in the South China Sea this just as u. S. China trade talks get underway in beijing a spokeswoman said the u. S.

By state who and called for the country to add up around the now that the government is now set to open to all of those responsible including the main read out to him and on the radio who apparently was found according to be in a house near the near the Radio Station hiding under a bed its quite unclear exactly whats happening in libya bill at the moment there seems to be. Significant security presence on the streets but some people suspect that the government of. The all of the crew have been stopped arrested or killed is just a statement and its just an attempt to put the crew down its a little unclear whats happening are observers the connection is very patchy so our first were going to have to leave it there what try and establish a better connection in our next bullets and if we can for now with mclean and a car thank you so much for your reporting. And were going to move on now to Great Britain because british Prime Minister theresa may is set to renew efforts this week to push through her breaks that deal lawmakers are scheduled to vote on the deal next tuesday well today the government tested an emergency traffic system the supposed to be put in place in the event of a no deal the system is meant to prevent massive congestion at the port of dover if customs checks are introduced well as the march the deadline for braggs its for britains exit from the e. U. Approaches many in the u. K. Are starting to worry we met one family who are doing what they can to prepare. This is the mans family from corner. And these are their provisions for food and drink for several months for five people plus their cattle and dog. Just in case theres the worst case you know were not providing for war famine were preparing for plex it. Demands have always been against britain leaving the e. U. And everything theyve heard from london in the last two years makes them think bricks it is going to be a chaotic process. Theyve bought a water tank with a filter and because the u. K. Gets some of its electricity from europe theyre getting ready for power cuts. So were being a bit balanced to mail a stick were not expecting there to be unexpected power cuts frequently of more rationing of power much like the seventys where there was setup of the day where there wouldnt be power. The whole family helps out with the weeding. They hope that their Homegrown Greens will soon be ready to eat. Is all this a bit too much maybe. But midwife nuveen says theyre simply going on what theyve heard from their government. U. K. Government has them said they expect up to six months. In imports running on fifteen to twenty percent efficiency i think. So were now increasing because we had underestimated what we might need with. The man family say they only rely on themselves. Others havent given up the fight yet its Early Morning in london and a group of young people are about to get on a campaign bus their organization is called our future our choice just like fifty nine percent of the British Population they want to second referendum. Theres a lot to do and were going to look back on this maybe the years to come and ask ourselves whether we did nothing but i think that the thais really are turning as a real opportunity for us now its a path to really make a case.

A number of the more reason fancied by the critics fell short of expectations for you me and around city was one of the winners a biopic about the late Freddie Mercury singer of the british rock band queen and the other was the wife starring veteran actor glenn close the night of high drama and Beverly Hills rami mahler. The top price came as a true surprise. The jury chose Bohemian Rhapsody as best drama for romney male the expert trail of queen front man Freddie Mercury his performance also earned him the best actor in drama some people feel belongs to thank you to Freddie Mercury for giving me the. High five i love you. This is who are the worse. Than the deserving a glenn close was named as best actress in a drama for her role and the wife. And they came. Close appeared stunned when her name was called and her deeply personal except in speech marked the emotional high point of the night. You know women we were nurture is that thats whats expected of us we have our children we have our husbands or for lucky enough and our partners whoever but we have to find personal fulfillment we have to fill our. Heart to be. We have to say i cant do that and i should be allowed to do that. The award for best Foreign Language film went to roma filmmaker alfonso ode to his childhood in one thousand nine hundred mexico he also picked up the price for best director. And lady gaga who everybody expected to climb to the stage as this years best actress didnt have to leave empty handed together with her cowriters she received a golden globe for best original song. An oscar winning Actor Kevin Spacey has appeared in a Massachusetts Court to face claims of Sexual Assault spacey is alleged to have groped a young man in a bar back in two thousand and sixteen if found guilty if faces up to five years in prison its the first a criminal case lodged against the actor. After a wave of Sexual Misconduct allegations brought an end to his creator. Says he will plead not guilty and recently released a video urging people not to believe the worst. Well lets cross over to Myra Schrader now she is following this story for us so kevin spacey appearing in nantucket of all places the getaway of choice for americas rich and famous do we know what plea he entered. As you said he was expecting to enter a plea of not guilty and he has been very vocally one of the few people whos been very vocally speaking out against a lot of the allegations that have come out against him because like many of the high profile men in hollywood have been brought down recently this is not the only allegation of mc misconduct thats out there against him but he is very steadfastly maintained if not innocence least no wrongdoing or no knowledge of these allegations against him or the incidences that are being alleged so we know that he not only is saying hes not guilty but didnt even want to appear in court his lawyers had filed a motion trying to prevent him from even having to show his face before the judge trying to avoid the negative publicity they said that would be drummed up from coming before the judge today but he is hes there in court pleading not guilty and probably a protracted process thats going to happen and now following this this plea its quite a fall from grace meyer for this a list a movie star if found guilty what kind of sentence will spacy have to face. But as we said hes facing potentially up to five years in prison and a lot of this stems just from this one incident that involves a teenager who was under age at the time of this alleged incident a lot of the allegations that have come out against ac tend to involve younger men the first one the one that really put a stop to his career came out in october of two thousand and seventeen when the broadway Actor Anthony Rapp accused him of trying to seduce him when he was just fourteen years old which is really quite young below the age of consent consent in any u. S. State and this has been a recurring theme in a lot of these accusations coming out against spacey and weve now seen the crumbling of his career hes one of the top holly he was one of the top hollywood people have now been brought down by these accusations and the broader me to movements by a traitor reporting thank you. Im going to hand you over to ben now and the u. S. And china are sitting down together to work out their differences or at least try at least try the first face to face talks actually since that truce last year so of course this is the dispute that saw u. S. President donald trump announce tariffs on chinese steel and alum in him first of all before adding several other products creating an all out trade war china is americas biggest trading partner and exports over five hundred billion dollars worth of goods to the u. S. Every year so far washington has threatened to slap tariffs on chinese goods worth around two hundred fifty billion dollars china also retaliating albeit to a smaller scale because the u. S. Exports fuel goods to the country it said it could impose extra judis on goods worth one hundred ten billion dollars the two countries declared a ninety day truce or cease fire last month and the pressure is on to resolve the dispute before that expires end of march if you think that is achievable. The u. S. And chinese representatives will need one key quality staying power these trade negotiations are set to be blown and difficult none the less this real hope that the trade conflict may finally be brought to an end china has already opted to ease tensions by lifting its ban on imports of u.
