a constitutional amendment that gave the
president 25 year terms which do not apply

00:05:29
retroactively this means Mr and I
simply can't stand for decline to 20 in

00:05:35
202025 elections the parliament also gave

00:05:39
a life time immunity to all former
presidents from being prosecuted for acts

disappointed in the parliament's
decision. That this is not what

00:06:06

prevent the current head of things
from Condi because it was so and

00:06:20
because. The government Cocos.

00:06:28
So are you come in that.
Very well what happens how

00:06:35
are we are willing to continue
this. Primarily in 'd

00:06:41
pointing to one who's been able to
change the rigid Brigette the issue of

00:06:48
term limits What's one of the concerns of
the opposition so does this mean that the

00:06:54
negotiations that the opposition was
having with the government and ECOWAS does

00:07:00
this mean that all those negotiations
failed. If the government

00:07:07
on this because we've got rocks and now

00:07:14
that's to be stopped by being

00:07:17
a part of this. But there
are some blister. Says

00:07:24
. Stop something that
the government sent to.

00:07:31
Us the evidence that they are
sampling but who have been served

00:07:38
Simon. When there was that would
be acceptable for the gov

00:07:46
Brigette to so what do you make of what
they parliament did they gave the president

00:07:52
immunity for life this is
something very unacceptable for

00:07:57
a 4th of police and with think
if we had to do is send him to

00:08:04
the president well sure. I want
to turn my attention to the

00:08:11
opposition because I have talked to police
diaspora some of them were very angry

00:08:17
with the opposition suggesting that some
of you have be even bought over by the

00:08:22
government so I want to get

00:08:24
a chance to respond to that what I was
saying that because one will believe.

00:08:31
You cannot imagine this tired
of this result is that is.

00:08:41
That I. Really wanted to
continue this distance

00:08:48
a commitment that I took from
many and I will not do pop

00:08:55
on when they. Look to. Break
it I got my Bill Johnson he

denied opposition accusations that the

00:09:42
model fully administration continues to
use state institutions to intimidate and

00:09:47
harass critics John Malea is head of legal
affairs for the opposition today my

00:09:52
party. I can confirm that

00:09:55
a member of my endeavor to actually be
social media particular teacher going by the

00:10:01
name of the check with kidnaps I have to
go from legal fees but you are known to.

00:10:08
Shut the board it's on the air to scare
the people out and they took him away and

00:10:12
to get money the sheeple been pulling out
because the local police station by the

00:10:16
holding it appropriate person but
I'm told the $41.00 opened fire

00:10:23
and then take a few more times to go
and also get $44010.00 fires to find

00:10:30
a way about checking that they're
denied or supporters of the government

00:10:37
abducted them off we shall and this is not
the doing of the government to abduct

00:10:43
people and the government is no cracking
down on dissent what do you say to that Ok

00:10:47
that's

00:10:47
a good idea that being the popular 43 times
idea to say no we're not but what's on

00:10:53
this is that the money to ship the
things that maybe the government has

00:10:56
a handle on the things that all the
people suffering from the keep knives and

00:11:01
Keating and shooting people who are critical
to the move for the government we have

00:11:07
an example of what I meant a very noble
truths or short it's been voted in

00:11:12
a body it was a one of the strongest
critics of the government river

00:11:17
a lot of those who died were my back in
ones I was opposing the government with an

00:11:23
example many time non-air
was who was kidnapped

00:11:27
a lot of fires are
examples of people or have

00:11:30
a kidnapped or tortured or injured and
the only thing that we know about the

00:11:36
activity is that there be telling the
government half your party taken

00:11:40
a decision to engage the government to
express concern about some of these

00:11:44
happenings and resolve them accordingly
what has been being that using video as

00:11:49
formal forums reporting apartment but that
has ventured into. It's the fear of him

00:11:55
so we'll keep on doing that but
we won't keep quiet to send

00:11:59
a message that he really wants
any and it's worth winning

00:12:02
a by the German head of legal affairs for
Tanzania's opposition shut them up r.t.

00:12:07

00:12:34
goonda says the views of opposition politicians
like Bobby wine and Dr Teesta busy

00:12:40
a healthy for the nation but
as more gloomy Davis rock

00:12:44
a region reports from Kampala some on
the this is the government should stop

00:12:48
politicking and walk the walk. You can
prime minister of Canada Good says the

00:12:54
ruling party the national resistance
movement is committed to cutting values to

00:12:59
goodness is governmental continue holding
meetings with other political parties in

00:13:02
the country to show the book the opposition
to government can work said base hate

00:13:07
pain instead of going to single don't mean
opposition leaders blaming Tarion for

00:13:10
but who knows but Wayne and from a forum
for what the president to teach is

00:13:15
a distance people whose views should be
respected these are some of the most hard

00:13:20
and the most surreal Ugandan so or I think
very few that really were understood but

00:13:26
that's why we're having i Pod which is
everybody that brings together the political

00:13:33
party the president in parliament and
their address in order this issue of

00:13:38
presidential live off the lives of the
secretary general we won't have yet another

00:13:44
meeting next week and the loss of won't
be another summit of party leaders next

00:13:49
week all of these are aimed at getting the
political solutions for some of these

00:13:55
new returns Fredricka warrior works as

00:13:58
a knock at the governance of management at
international or Action Aid says it does

00:14:03
the government is committed to granting
political space to the opposition if you

00:14:07
look quite the behavior to agencies if
you look at history shows in the media I

00:14:13
expect depart in part to come out and
condemn some of those to demonstrate that

00:14:17
speech as teams opposition leaders in
Uganda have been detained or arrested way

00:14:22
intending to address or at this and political
rallies saloon by the ruling but this

00:14:27
is for to the laws in the country for the
opposition's concerns if your business of

00:14:32
what we Wayne has a construe as

00:14:35
a call to turn down the east but I don't
want to know can he want to hold and put

00:14:39
it quite loudly in a outside this
constituency This is not a now

00:14:43
a lot but says the ruling party should
be aware that it was issuing Jews

00:14:48
a villain point for national booting I
think we're. We need to do is to create

00:14:52
a culture of totally insane and
accepting people of their views without

00:14:57
criminalizing dissent and I think they
did government realizes the value in not

00:15:03
allowing voices dissenting voices opinion
as association that is the team you're

00:15:07
going to and will enjoy

00:15:09
a democratic country that to aspire to live
in another issue that says you want to

00:15:14
be addressed is an acting bit a little laws
headed it injured when elections for v.

00:15:19
Or in use

00:15:20
a young woman if it's looking to the compiler
you can that Syrian president Julius

00:15:25
might not be your announced

00:15:27
a cabinet reshuffle litotes the new list
is subject to parliamentary approval the

00:15:32
major shake up in the Foreign Ministry where
Dr Ali Baba has be replaced by Mrs b.

00:15:38
La Tunis the reshuffle comes a little over

00:15:41
a year since Mother bill was elected
president Mohamed Rockman Swati is the civil

00:15:48
loose information minister. You recall that
his as well as the president of mother

00:15:54
fall in his affection for the
leadership he put together

00:15:57
a group of men and women who have had over

00:16:00
a year where that seem to judge every aspect
of the lever so that athlete seems to

00:16:06
be

00:16:06
a to effectively shuffle one of the many
he is reenergizing we see he's bringing on

00:16:12
board new people with renewed we
go on vitality. To deliver on his

00:16:18
manifesto commitment on his view of people
parliament promises for the nation did

00:16:24
presume other views specifically give reasons
behind his decision to reshuffle his

00:16:30
cabinet this late night well it's important
for not sort of. Give the president the

00:16:36
prerogative to hire. Anybody an explanation
it is important to know that his whole

00:16:42
administration is predicated on

00:16:44
a delivery man and he wants to bring on
board you know men and women who have going

00:16:49
to get the right competencies the right
skill sets the right experience and what it

00:16:55
takes to deliver for our country so if I
may ask you who was moved away and where

00:17:01
some ministers were dropped entirely from
cabinet Yes from the list that have been

00:17:07
published of. Setting surprises for my
minister of development like the climate

00:17:13
planning Maranatha not bail out the
needs have been moved on to the foreign

00:17:19
ministry it's important for that but I'm
too nice beside it over the development of

00:17:24
the national of the medium
term development for

00:17:26
a whole. New dual engagement for
many others in this one year that is

00:17:33
something that one because of not only
government but also been part of the

00:17:39
community I believe you will be quite the
breath of fresh here and many feel. That

00:17:45
it's Eisenhower former deputy lawyer in the
south along the avenue of no memory how

00:17:50
many. I know he will be quite

00:17:54
a major asset in the Ministry of Finance
Yes again you talk about the military of

00:17:58
economic planning and development and I
will be headed by Dr Francis Crick I will

00:18:03
have what 25 years in the development area
if we fight it over the development of

00:18:09
the poverty reduction of stuff if people
want to on to the point man. For the

00:18:15
United Nations he presided over it is

00:18:18
a myth because the laddish
are integration of

00:18:20
a combatant so he is both the avatar and
your politics so this is the full package

00:18:26
Mohammed Iraq meant soirees Syrians
information minister he spoke with us Peter

00:18:30
Clottey from the capital Freetown Rwanda

democracy and human rights which according

00:19:00
to Broome and I focused goals of the u.s.

00:19:03
Mission in grand wonder Sen president
banana macaws est he raised the issue of

00:19:08
regional security because it is

00:19:09
a threat to countries in the region in
which we briefed him as well about terror

00:19:15
groups in the region like f d

00:19:18
r And the people that are supporting
them we discussed this because it's not

00:19:23
something that

00:19:24
a person can keep quiet about since the
security of one country is connected to it

00:19:29
neither one setit and this can get worse
when the international community stays

00:19:34
quiet or need. In addition to
regional security McCool's

00:19:38
a Sade one but also once you as help in

who he said are still moving freely

00:19:46
around the world Ambassador Peter
brim and did not comment on going as

00:19:50
a request to help capture alleged genocide
perpetrators but he said his country saw

00:19:55
huge blunder for what made that's far 2
words what he calls incredible development

00:20:01
after 25 years will help retain for
Rwandans in the future that are the facts

00:20:08
of the people who perished so the
preservation of this is critical for future

00:20:12
generations security was also
the mind of the president

00:20:16
a perk of damage during season outreach
visit to the northern province which

00:20:20
neighbors Uganda relations
between the 2 countries have

00:20:24
a sword for past 2 years. Those enemies
who live outside of the country

00:20:31
we only give you the time to capture them
some hand themselves and will solve their

00:20:36
problems for others they are brought
unknowingly That's why I say that the 1st way

00:20:42
of peace is peace or fight and we have
to force they have to know that they are

00:20:47
player with

00:20:48
a fire to be burnt wonder made progress.
Essentially in it's against rebel groups

00:20:53
but it's captured recently of major

Which grand terror group as then we
Munna for Vo in use Kigali Rwanda

00:21:07
the recent spike Ebola cases in the
Democratic Republic of Congo could get worse

00:21:11
because according to health care responders
many cases reported now are coming from

on known contacts all reported to late
afternoon Bonomo is the Ebola emergency

00:21:22
response team for the health care NGO He
spoke to Ricky strike about the outlook.

00:21:29
There is

00:21:30
a new chain of contamination they need
to know it was nervous. Around then

00:21:37
in February. We had more
than. That in March with

00:21:44
distribution. Over there. Of the

00:21:51
population. If you continue to change. So.

00:21:58
We.

00:22:05
Can do. So it was. A good month.

00:22:13
Last year how many cases in general are
not coming from no contact and what does

00:22:19
this mean for the likelihood of an increase
in cases in the future so today we

00:22:25
depend. Do we have. Security incidents.

00:22:34
Of contacts but. We have
only can take 65 percent of.

00:22:44
The founder of contacts. Between
30 and 40 percent were not.

00:22:52
Any sort. Of problem if
we look on the debt that.

00:22:59
We consume by the laboratory
because 2 days ago on the.

00:23:06
Patient can function patient one
day 11. People they arrive.

00:23:15
And this kind of information means there
will likely be new cases in the near

00:23:19
future right yet there
are problems because

00:23:23
a. Lot of people and. The I.

00:23:29
Yeah break and. Similarly in
the next 234 weeks we will

00:23:36
be more and more you keep responding what
activists have been suspended or have

00:23:43
slowed down and certain areas and how is
that affecting the outbreak regarding the

00:23:49

problem is that more focus on the

on the 2 oz is sport about

00:24:51
a urge to test the human body and not the
money involved not the boat the putting

00:24:56
the trauma it's. The only one coming up

00:25:00
a. New Kind of an ending and
it bothers. Me that in any

00:25:07
profession. They really an Olympic champion
broke the world record in September

women. And Laura one of that is

00:26:03
protests women's Bartz man. Might. In the
100 they put the handle does I think we

00:26:10
begin a good good today so I'm looking
forward for the next game I think there was

00:26:14
a bit of pressure on our batting unit
coming into this game I'm not going to lie

00:26:19
you know getting ball out for 60 is
ridiculous like the 1st game and it was just

00:26:23
good to come and. Show today that that's
not all the usual standard and on very

00:26:27
important that we chase
the score down with quite

00:26:30
a few wickets in hand so I guess that's
just the mindset that I had going into

00:26:33
really take my time up front and to really
assess the conditions probably before I

00:26:37
tried anything drastic when chasing

00:26:40
a huge total so you're
allowed to take your time

00:26:42
a little so I guess that's what I try
to do and finally in boxing news from

Hello Today is Friday May
9th and this is v.o.a.

00:28:46
As international edition I'm Lori London
in Washington coming up tensions build

00:28:51
between the u.s. And Iran no sign of a
trade agreement between China and the u.s.

00:28:57
As a trump impose tariffs deadline looms
we've been paying China $500000000000.00

00:29:03
a year for many many years China rebuilt
their country because of us Also ahead

00:29:10
a popular girl group is about to kick off

00:29:12
a reunion tour and of final version of
their greatest hits it's all on today's

00:29:17
international edition.

00:29:25
China's vice premier league Hugh said he
hopes to engage in Iraq tional and candid

00:29:30
exchange with the u.s.

00:29:32
After arriving in Washington for

00:29:33
a new round of trade talks you said raising
tariffs is not the solution he arrived

00:29:39
in Washington Thursday with the United
States set to impose higher tariffs on

00:29:43
$200000000000.00 worth of
Chinese goods. At midnight u.s.

00:29:50
Eastern Time on Friday White House
bureau chief Steve Herman tells v.o.a.

00:29:55
Asia is Ira Mehlman that
President Trump had quite

00:29:57
a bit to say to the press about it during
an impromptu news conference there were

00:30:03
quite

00:30:03
a few statements that he made perhaps most
significantly he said quote We're starting

00:30:10
that paperwork today referring to the new
what he called very heavy tariffs that

00:30:17
are due to go into effect on Chinese
products coming into the United States from

00:30:23
Friday and the official notice is now out
by the Customs and Border Protection

00:30:30
Service so and less something spectacular
happens in the next few hours with these

00:30:35
trade talks these tariffs which will raise
from 10 percent to 25 percent the cost

00:30:42
of importing Chinese goods into this
country about $200000000000.00 where the

00:30:47
products will go into effect
as he usually does the u.s.

00:30:50
President make sure that people knew how
friendly he was with the Chinese leader I

00:30:56
like the president a lot is a friend I'm

00:30:57
a but I'm representing the USA and he's
representing China and we're not going to

00:31:04
be taken advantage of anymore we're not
going to pay China $500000000000.00

00:31:08
a year so we put very heavy tariffs on China
as of Friday and we put them on also 8

00:31:14
months ago the president
mentioning that he had received

00:31:17
a beautiful letter presumably this week
from the Chinese president Xi Jinping that

00:31:22
essentially expressed the sentiment of let's
work together and the president in the

00:31:26
past has also spoken glowingly about
receiving letters from Kim Jong un Steve the

00:31:33
talks were scheduled to get underway about
5 o'clock what do you hear is going on

00:31:36
though presumably they are still talking
and not only is President she's right hand

00:31:43
man the vice premier leaving the talks
for the Chinese delegation. But u.s.

00:31:49
Treasury secretary Steven
mission and the u.s.

00:31:51
Trade representative Robert

00:31:53
a light high as there are also there
and they've been there's been

00:31:56
a shuttling going on between Beijing and
Washington for really some months now to

00:32:01
try to sort this out and there were
indications that we were getting out of very

00:32:07
close intil just

00:32:09
a few days ago when the president took to
Twitter and said things were not going

00:32:13
well accusing the Chinese essentially
backtracking now Beijing of course

00:32:20
has a different view and is also out
threatening retaliation in kind if these

00:32:26
a terror of stew go into effect. All right
that was White House bureau chief Steve

00:32:31

00:33:48
European leaders also say they want to
preserve the 2015 agreement which requires

00:33:53
Iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange
for the elimination of sanctions the

00:33:58
u.s. . Abandon the agreement
one year ago despite the u.s.

00:34:03
Withdrawal President Trump introduced
new sanctions on Iranian metal exports

00:34:08
Wednesday major sources of revenue for
the Western Asian country the us had

00:34:12
previously slapped sanctions on Iranian
oil which have devastated its economy

00:34:17
Joining us now to understand more about
it is this escalation tensions as Jamil

00:34:22
Jaffer founder and c.e.o.

00:34:24
Of the National Security Institute thanks
for being with us what is this all mean

00:34:29
it would not be unusual if the information
they had obtained was really highly

00:34:33
sensitive source or method oftentimes the
CIA will hold those meetings at their own

00:34:37
headquarters didn't bring that information
up for the president going to very close

00:34:40
setting up the master to counsel but it
also would be surprising say if it were

00:34:44
a pretty good sense of human source

00:34:46
a very simple technical
capability phrase something of

00:34:49
a sort of overhead surveillance
methodology other might be

00:34:51
a number of reasons why you might
have information limited to

00:34:55
a very small group of people
and have only given it

00:34:58
a very unique set so that my part of what's
going on here and in general generally

00:35:02
speaking Iran is now threatening more
Iranian enrichment we weren't seeing any

00:35:09
activity before the u.s.

00:35:10
Pulled out of the Iran deal it seems like
things are really tensions are really

00:35:15
building Why do you think this is happening
now well certainly the Iranians are

00:35:19
feeling an additional pinch as the u.s.

00:35:21
Sanctions go back into effect if you recall
one of the reasons that the Iranians

00:35:25
came to the table in the Obama administration
and negotiate the Iran deal because

00:35:30
Congress imposed very very strict sanctions
on the Iranians including cutting them

00:35:34
off essentially from the world community
both in terms their supply of oil their

00:35:37
ability to sell oil but also their ability
to transact with most Muslim world

00:35:40
nation and so those sanctions now going
back into effect and stuff having

00:35:44
a pinch on the Iranian economy even just
in the past couple of days the u.s.

00:35:47
Mission computer impose additional sanctions
on Iran and so they're feeling the

00:35:50
economic pinch and so they don't see the
sun the benefit the Iran deal so they're

00:35:54
sort of the u.s.

00:35:55
Will maybe we should go back to enriching
and maybe that will drive the Europeans

00:35:59
to be. The Americans back to the table to
negotiate again but I think what you're

00:36:02
seeing is that she was expecting it was
intended by the Trump ministration which is

00:36:06
Iran's get upset and then it would force
them back to the table in order to get

00:36:09
a better deal than what President Obama
got that the working theory of the

00:36:13
administration's overseer actually didn't
surprise me Iran in getting aggressive an

00:36:17
upset that's what the administration intended
goals drive the Iranians back to the

00:36:21
point of maximum pressure
and the best table to get

00:36:23
a better deal for the admin. Do you think
though that there may be an intention of

00:36:28
some speculate that the u.s. Wants
to go to war with Iran that the u.s.

00:36:32
Because John Bolton in past times have
suggested that he would like to see regime

00:36:36
change he's advocated for it for a
long time I don't think the u.s.

00:36:40
Is looking to get into

00:36:41
a war in Iraq the Iranians have been very
aggressive they are the ones who decide

00:36:45
to seek

00:36:45
a nuclear capability they did so covertly
in the Obama surge that was discovered

00:36:50
they are the ones who have been meddling
in Syria in Yemen they're the ones who

00:36:54
have to support

00:36:55
a terrorist group in the form Hezbollah
and the Iranians are in this position and

00:36:58
have sanctions on them because of their own
behavior both in the region and support

00:37:02
terrorist groups and their pursuit of the
nuclear capability and so where are Ron's

00:37:07
becoming normal function nation and the
world community should stop supporting

00:37:10
Hezbollah stop meddling in various parts
of the region and stop pursuing nuclear

00:37:14
weapons well then they would have there
would be no problem tomorrow join the world

00:37:17
community becoming and returning to
normalcy and I don't think the u.s.

00:37:20
Will get in a war I think the u.s.

00:37:22
I think it is the ministration believe
that the rightly so that the deal that was

00:37:25
made the participation was not as

00:37:27
a beneficial United States as they may have
thought and the question is how you get

00:37:30
to a new deal or

00:37:31
a better deal and this ministration I think
again correctly assesses that the right

00:37:35
way to do is return the maximum pressure
on Iran so we're not seeing the outcome of

00:37:38
that but I think this is what was expected
is Jamil Jass the Jaffer founder and

00:37:43
c.e.o.

00:37:43
Of the National Security Institute North
Korea fired what appeared to be 2 short

00:37:48
range missiles on Thursday it's
the 2nd such test in less than

00:37:51
a week the United States
also says it seized

00:37:55
a North Korean cargo ship as tensions
again mount between these 2 countries

00:37:59
President Trump said nobody's happy of
at the launches but still appears to be

00:38:04
holding the door open for more talks with
North Korea. The relationship continues

00:38:11
but we'll see what happens I know they
want to negotiate they're talking about

00:38:14
negotiating but I don't think they're ready
to negotiate South Korea said the tests

00:38:18
were worrisome and unhelpful and likely

00:38:20
a protest against Trump refusing to ease
economic sanctions on North Korea at

00:38:25
a failed summit in Hanoi
in February the u.s.

00:38:28
Has given no sign of willingness to budge
on sanctions and on Thursday the u.s.

00:38:32
Justice Department announced the seizure
of that cargo vessel that it said was

00:38:36
involved in the illicit shipping of Cole
joining us to talk more about it is

00:38:41
Matthew Hogg feen research associate
at the Foundation for the Defense of

00:38:45
Democracies What's your take on all of
it. 2 separate short range missile tests

00:38:50
coming from 2 different parts in
North Korea the way I get sort of

00:38:52
a festive but you know North Korea kind
of going back to its sort of way of doing

00:38:56
diplomacy is using coercive bargaining
abridgement of to use sort of these peace

00:39:00
time provocations where it's in
that ambiguous space of like

00:39:04
a wartime attack like it's not enough to
like you know obviously War and sort of

00:39:08
a retaliatory effect really to signal that
you know Kim Jong un discontent with the

00:39:12
way the point he's been going because I
think after knowing kind of saw failure in

00:39:17
the subject again sanctions lifted and so
I think it's just there's ways of like

00:39:21
nudging President from you should be
somebody making possible and certainly the

00:39:25
president seems willing to have open talks
he says the relationship continues he

00:39:29
doesn't think Kim would do something that
would be detrimental to that but there is

00:39:34
speculation that maybe the president has

00:39:36
a little bit too much face in the integrity
of the leader of North Korea if I'm

00:39:42
correct about the statement
you referring to

00:39:44
a president that I do think there
has been since some degree of

00:39:48
a little over optimism in the president
in the sense that I haven't seen

00:39:51
a clear indication that Kim Jong un has
even made the strategic choice to give up

00:39:55
his nuclear weapons that

00:39:56
a lot of other North Korea analyst was
on that same page but at the same time

00:39:59
statements were bit more want to hear the
French President Trump is that they were

00:40:03
been more the more careful because he also
did say he's not sure if he's ready to

00:40:07
negotiate yet is Kim's ready to negotiate
and I think he did say he's carefully

00:40:11
looking at what happened with the weapons
test in the last 5 days because after

00:40:15
over 151617 months of no testing this
is I'll be going back to this fire and

00:40:19
hearing 217 I hope not for
sure but I do think he is

00:40:23
a bit more wary now now that there
was another test in the less than

00:40:26
a week or so I think we kind of need to
see it step by step and I think there's

00:40:29
a bit more time that we need to take before
these make any assessment sounds like

00:40:32
South Korea is concerned about it the Blue
House or the White House in South Korea

00:40:37
they didn't mention that this is

00:40:38
a violation of the inner Korean military
agreement from last September but the

00:40:42
president when all says something
else where he's just it's

00:40:45
a concern that the North Koreans are
testing missiles are short. Projectiles is

00:40:49
a term that but at the same time they
voided using the term provocation do you

00:40:53
think it's been detrimental
that there's been sort of

00:40:56
a normalization of cam with all these
leaders being willing to meet with him when

00:41:01
he still leading a country very brutally
Yeah I mean I think there definitely is

00:41:06
a degree of that I think

00:41:07
a lot of us in the analyst community have.
Smile diplomacy force charm offensive

00:41:12
campaign where he really is trying to
appear as this modern leader like this is

00:41:16
normal I'm ahead of the state I'm head of
the Democratic People's Republic of Korea

00:41:21
so I think yes there is

00:41:22
a degree to because the public opinion of
him in South Korea drastically changed

00:41:26
after the 1st intercutting summit last
April and I think counterbalance that's

00:41:30
normalize the effect we need President Trump
we need President moon to really hold

00:41:35
can John accountable on his human rights
violations all the atrocities that have

00:41:39
government commits we haven't really seen
that in action and I think we've seen

00:41:42
even

00:41:42
a reversal of that prior to the summit
starting in early mid 2820000 last year if

00:41:47
we saw President from aggressively attacking
him on the human rights abuses what we

00:41:51
did see some sort of backpedaling on that
maybe right after the you think of more

00:41:55
if we both North summit when you make
comments about one here that was

00:41:58
a critical step we must be
cognizant President Johnson sees

00:42:01
a bright economic future of the
North Korea we also need to see

00:42:04
a bright future where human rights are
respected in this country and I think that's

00:42:08
a major priority and he brought
up both between the u.s.

00:42:11
And North Korea most importantly between
the 2 Koreas amid the missile firing we

00:42:16
are also hearing about the u.s.

00:42:17
Seizing

00:42:18
a North Korean cargo ship that apparently
was in violation of illicit shipping

00:42:25
walking What do you know about
this we need to go back about

00:42:27
a year to assess whether it began
the Indonesian government detained

00:42:31
a North Korean flag vessel called the wise
on it that was carrying coal I believe

00:42:35
that was from

00:42:35
a lot of awesome commercial and it was in
violation of un sanctions against coal

00:42:39
but this vessel was owned by

00:42:41
a company that was already thanks in by
the United States Treasury Department for

00:42:46
evading other things with. North Korea sort
of related thing and so all of this was

00:42:50
the u.s. Government's way of sending

00:42:52
a very strong signal to Kim in the sense
that if Kim really wants sanctions what

00:42:56
we're not going to give it to you
just because you're going to fire

00:42:58
a missile and say I'm unhappy we can only
respect the integrity of sanctions by

00:43:03
being you comply them and then we can move
them and until then until we see North

00:43:06
Korea sort of complying to those terms and
also showing that it had the strategic

00:43:10
intent to denuclearize we're going to keep
in forcing sanction withholding pressure

00:43:14
until we see that change happening this
ultimately revealed that President that one

00:43:18
difference but he does have many of its
predecessors if the robot sanctions regime

00:43:21
that really has been

00:43:22
a byproduct of legislation which is
the North Korea thanks of the policy

00:43:26
Enhancement Act in 2016 and has been
numerous executive orders that came out

00:43:30
between then and now right that's Matthew
hot research associate at the Foundation

00:43:34
for Defense of Democracies president Donald
Trump's approval rating in the latest

00:43:38
Gallup poll is up to 46 percent the highest
it has been in that poll since the

00:43:44
earliest days of his presidency some
Republicans say the time is right for the

00:43:48
president to move on from the aftermath of
the Russia probe led by Special Counsel

00:43:53
Robert Muller but it seems neither trunk
nor his Democratic critics are and any

00:43:58
hurry to let the issue go
as we hear from v.o.a.

about the outcome of the molar before did
you see what just happened by the way no

00:44:18
television. No. No let me. They

00:44:24
want to do what they're doing which look
so foolish and maybe I read it wrong but I

00:44:30
think it drives us right on to victory
in 2020 those people that think what the

the Trump campaign and Russia to meddle

in the 2016 election did not reach

exonerate the president either

00:44:52
a claim Trump often makes Republicans
say it's time to move on looting Senate

00:44:58
leader Mitch McConnell it's over I mean
I can understand why our friends on the

congressional Democrats have vowed to

an unwritten did version of the Muller

Democrats remain divided over whether to

pursue Trump's impeachment fluting House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi impeachment is one of

00:45:46
the most the bicycle dividing parts that
you can take and if you go down that path

you have to have. A. Prospect for
success Republicans control the

democratic impeachment bid

00:46:04

00:46:11
Republican support will be effectively per
trade in the presidential election as

00:46:17

a political issue the Russia investigation
appears far from over and will be part

00:46:26
of next year's presidential campaign
debate says John for he Democrats are very

00:46:31
unhappy with the president many many
Republicans are very happy with him and so

00:46:36
that is that is a formula for
enthusiasm even though it may not be

00:46:40
a pretty sight it's likely that we're going
to see people wanting to turn out in

00:46:44
this next election we've never been winning
like we're winning. Despite the fuel

00:46:49
roar over the Russia investigation Trump's
poll numbers have remained stable says

00:46:55
analyst Matt Dowling his ceiling is pretty
low you know around 44 percent of the of

00:47:02
the public. He's never cracked 50 percent
the 1st times in the history of polling

00:47:08
that no president has ever got above 50
percent approval but his floor is also

00:47:14
pretty solid pretty hard and you know
he's rarely gone below 36 percent will

00:47:20
continue to proclaim vindication and Democrats
will persevered with their oversight

00:47:25
hearings but it's us voters who are likely
to deliver the final verdict in the

00:47:31
November of 22 and then
we will. Have to make him

factors are having

00:48:37
a severe impact including climate change
pollution deforestation and invasive

00:48:43
plants and animals in South Africa the
Garden Route National Park is. Located along

00:48:49
one of the country's most beautiful stretches
of coastline it's also a place where

00:48:53
a large number of invasive plants have taken
over the always Deborah block takes us

00:48:58
there to find out how officials are working
to keep them at bay South Africa's

00:49:04
Garden Route national park
offers visitors lush forests and

00:49:08
a dramatic coastline but the biodiversity
of the 650 square kilometer park is

00:49:15
under threat from invasive species the
number one thing in the garden National Park

00:49:20
for biodiversity at this point is
alien species and plant species.

00:49:28
We have

00:49:29
a diversity of species about 218 species
but only about you know 15 to 20 maybe

00:49:35
auto's form

00:49:36
a species that really can change you know
the invasive plants compete with the

00:49:41
scrub in trees that are endemic to
the area wildfires in 201718 damaged

00:49:48
much of the forest but the destruction made
it easier for park rangers to identify

00:49:53
and eradicate invasive species if I also
affords one the opportunity to be able to

00:50:00
walk into that because they are least in
the speech at the nation immediately going

00:50:04
to your. Your employees go faster
than indigenous So you see them

00:50:11
in the 1st 2 or 3 years she had that we
knew of opportunity we you have to kill

00:50:17
them before they make seed if
you can do that then you gained

00:50:20
a lot from having the freedom but
is key is to ensure that the

00:50:27
follow up control measures that are put
in place so that if you had to have been

00:50:33
a fire then you actually control that

00:50:35
a growth of invasive species after the fire
new indigenous species are still being

00:50:41
found in the park there's a
sense of or in wonder still in

00:50:45
a lot of these tucked away places and at
the same time these species of plants that

00:50:50
seem to disappear for long periods of time
and you know are considered extinct and

00:50:54
then off to extreme events they're actually
resurface keeping the biodiversity for
