hello i'm suit this is a news hour live from london coming up demanding explanations lebanon's president ask saudi arabia why saudi arabia has not returned to beirut following his surprise resignation how we can get. the trans-pacific partnership lives on after eleven countries agree or called without the united states thousands of polish nationalists rally in the capital warsaw in celebration of independent. on a new lease of life guatemalans find another use for decommissioned school buses. i'm joined again. with all your day's sport to more african teams reach the world cup finals morocco and twenty a qualifying drought and to go through to details coming up later in the program.

the lebanese president is calling on saudi arabia to clarify why prime minister hariri as yet to return to beirut following his shock once again. seven days ago on a surprise visit to riyadh michel i would scan amid suggestions that hariri has been detained and he's on the house arrest. defect in lebanon as a night this insisting hariri hasn't returned because of security concerns has the latest from beirut. springing up across the lebanese capital beirut expressing support to. the resigned prime minister whose fate really is unknown uncertain times in lebanon on the country finding itself crossroads for the past year this country enjoyed relative stability in a very turbulent region but things have changed and lebanon finds itself in the middle of the saudi iranian rivalry playing out across the region it's been like

for quite some time since two thousand and five i guess it's been here really since really assassination. and we have two polls so they're able to run and those two polls have people on the ground iran has tons of those economics and they're in the middle of all this i think and. a lot of especially especially at the sions what they do best is that they they they lie and they say things. to make people more and maybe scared and to put this like political pressure on everyone just to get what they want we are in a mainly sunni neighborhood hold many people here feel that the current crisis is going to march and allies them even further this in the community has long complained of iranian dominance in lebanon and now they're blaming their own ally saudi arabia of robbing them of their leader.

and. this we want to know the reason behind this detention lebanon can't handle this crisis they harmed their dignity the detention of a prime minister is unacceptable. this is a loss for all of lebanon hariri is loved by everyone we are all upset by his detention no one will accept what is happening this is humiliation we won't be quiet we will demand his release. so for the time being all the different parties of political escalation but the question is this rare unity will it be short lived . u.s. president donald trump and his russian counterpart vladimir putin have agreed a joint statement supporting a political solution to the war in syria the latest mats on the sidelines of the apec summit in vietnam where they reaffirmed their commitment to syria's sovereignty independence and territorial integrity they also called on all parties

to the conflict including president bashar al assad and to take an active part in the political process. just now we've adopted that document with the prism of the united states it's a very crucial document because we see it for some principles firstly we continue the fight against terrorism in syria that's most important for the united states and for us especially in light of recent tragic events which happened there it's of the utmost importance that we reaffirm the sovereignty of syria its territorial integrity that after the fight against terrorism is over we'll start the political process under the auspices of the united nations. the cia director mike pompei o has issued a statement saying he still believes russia interfered with last year's us presidential election this comes as president donald trump said he believed my putin's new reassurance the allegations are not true well let's go live to mike

hanna in washington d.c. my what sort of reaction is this is this brought with the president trying yet again putting his weight behind president trump saying yes it's all very fair. well president trump has consistently argued talks of collusion with russia by his campaign that russian interference in the us electoral process were all made up fantasies some kind of concept there is c. he's argued that it was created by the democrat party and supporters of hillary clinton but this isn't the his most spirited defense of the russian president to date speaking to journalists on air force one on his way to that summit in vietnam president trump saying that he believed that emir putin when he was told that there was no russian meddling in the u.s. electoral process now this is something that is the subject to not only of debate but of investigation by a number of committees within the u.s.

the house committee the senate committee and of course an ongoing investigation by a special counsel robert miller into allegations of collusion between the campaign as well as russian interference in the democratic process itself so president times comments once again preempting the findings of all these numerous investigations and most importantly undercounting that special counsel who still going on with the investigation into any russian involvement in the u.s. local process and mike as i mentioned this cia director pushing back and him i suppose looking at this president a person who was a former f.s.b. chief there seems to be getting more of an air of the president then he is. yes we've got to be careful with the wording of the it is a statement released by a spokesperson for the cia saying that the director mike stands by the intelligence

finding that was released in january last year now that was a multiple intelligence agency finding which found categorically that russia had interfered in the electoral process that it took all search done so with the intent of influencing the vote in favor of president trump against the vote in favor of hillary clinton the report stopped short of saying that it affected the outcome of the electoral process now mike pompei or incurred some controversy a few days ago when he stated categorically that there at the russian involvement had not created or caused the result and that u.s. election now the inquiry had found very specifically that it could not adjudicate took on that that is specifically the type opportunity cation that robert muller will be doing that house and senate investigations will be doing they will be looking not only at allegations of collusion or russian involvement but they will

also be looking at with it did impact on the outcome of the election president trump insistent that this is all some kind of conspiracy theory is he repeated to reporters you know collusion very good to get your thoughts on that my kind of aren't picking the trump information. the middle east is being torn by a polarizing feud between sunni majority saudi arabia and shia dominated iran as a battle for power and influence in the region when iran is prime minister stepped down from office in riyadh a war of words ensued between the two regional powers we had blames iran and its lebanese ally hezbollah saying it's destabilized lebanon as well likewise accuse israel of meddling in the country's internal affairs and declaring an all out war it doesn't stop there this feud has engulfed countries across the middle east saudi arabia has waged a protracted and devastating war against iran back to sea rebels in neighboring

yemen a proxy war has also played out in the six year syrian war iran and hezbollah have by the assad regime providing military support and thousands of fighters well saudi arabia has backed opposition rebels. well joining us now in the studio is world affairs analyst case man marathi thanks very much for coming in to al-jazeera so much to talk about on this but if i could just start with lebanon the question everybody's asking is the former prime minister hariri under house arrest do rethink and indeed is he the former prime minister or is he still prime minister and i guess the prince you ask. this in the middle east over a contract that every detail so if you ask saudi arabia they're going to have an answer if you ask the lebanese people they're going to have another answer so the penny going to yours they're going to come up with different reasons as to why he's on the house rests. and these are semantics but they also very powerful when using

these words was a patrol messages and they betray intentions so once you understand that these war of words carry power we can move forward unless situation in a much more interesting way i just mentioned there about the tensions between sunni and shia obviously iran saudi arabia this isn't anything new but what we seem to be seeing at the moment is because of the saudi position and saudi arabia is pushing on quite a few fronts at the moment there's almost an escalation it feels almost like a flashpoint where do you think we are headed with this it's i mean again the. issues with the middle east and with saudi in iran go back a long while back and many analysts are saying that we are come to a breaking point the tipping point if you will now with all the powers and all the people in play the future is yet to be decided of course but if they do continue down this track there's been war there's been words a war could be coming forward which is not going to have any side war cost was cost

too much money cost a lot of lives so that's a place where no one wants to go to and if we could have more dialogue in the situation and on an understanding i think we can come to a conclusion that those benefits will but that's going to take a lot of patience and a lot of time for that to become the case how much do you think western influence is having on this position and i'm thinking more than anywhere the u.s. official the u.s. is just too new president come to play and he's come with boisterous attitude not towards only the middle east also towards many issues in world affairs he's had a war of words on twitter with many different world leaders and his influence in the deduced is a powerful one the american voice in any situation is one that needs to be listened to and understood and respected to a point depending on who you are you see and the influence of the west in general too is something to be watched we have not only donald trump or so. different aspects of different factions of the american establishment putting in their

thoughts which sometimes are contradictory so they're not coming with one unified voice as before perhaps so this needs to be watched and again the future is yet to be seen just as he questioned the position of the g.c.c. country in one of the attacks that was pushed a catalyst by many of the g.c.c. countries especially saudi arabia was to stop what it perceived as meddling in other countries internal affairs why all the g.c.c. countries now pushing back now in saudi arabia because with lebanon at least that is what the lebanese are saying is happening. people the countries in the middle east how can i explain this if we don't have relationships that last too long in the middle east people change alliances depending on what their agenda is at any given moment so if a country's agenda doesn't match to what their allies are saying they're not going to continue on they go to a certain point beyond that point is no man's land in their point of view so they come and they spread and they divide and they retreat depending on what the situation is and depending on what their agenda is to be fulfilled so this is not

sure this happens only in the middle east but many different situations so i missed going to start again and not to take this as a point of these countries are scared to go along but they are they do have agendas which if not in line with what they want they're not going to continue with talk about politics here we haven't talked about economics here do you think if there is if there is any influence it's going to really pull things back from an escalation it's going to be the economic situation i'm sure economics does play major part of that money nothing in the world can go ahead nothing happens and we see for example saudi arabia's vision twenty thirty being a good example of how business and money play a big part in forming the future of a nation now saudi arabia recently called the conference a three day conference inviting world business leaders to riyadh to discuss their economic future promising plans in developments for their crunch and for the region in general now business if done correctly can bring. but together because business interests need to be understood by all but then again different people have

different business interests in play and if you take the money out of a place to fund it somewhere else it is going to be repercussions that are very complicated i want to thank you very much for helping us understand that. thanks for coming in to us. coming up. from london the streets of barcelona are once again full of catalans calling for secession from spain plus. i'm jessica baldwin on the coast of england looking at some of the problems that urgently need to be addressed at the climate change talks. and the world champion crashes out on the first lap of qualifying for the brazilian grand prix joe we'll have the details. and visit the trans-pacific partnership trade deal have agreed to move forward

without the involvement of the united states president donald trump withdrew support for the deal this year in favor of on america first policy which he hopes will save us jobs but on saturday the remaining eleven countries his trade totaled three hundred sixty five billion dollars last year agreed only core elements to proceed on the sidelines of the apec summit in vietnam when he has more from donna . the asia pacific economic cooperation summit ended with yet another photo opportunity the twenty one leaders came together in vietnam on the back of a difficult year for trade that continued on the sidelines of a pic with canadian prime minister justin trudeau at the center he initially balked at a deal to push ahead with the trans-pacific partnership trade agreement involving eleven apec members but after further often heated discussions between government ministers all t p p members finally agreed on the core elements of the pact.

all over an aversive agreed on the content we've maintained exactly the same high standards t p p twelve i think we've maintained a balance we've avoided opting for lower standards there are lots of areas where if you rush to agree high standards will be sacrificed but if you insist on high standards we can take a long time or some countries might drop out so all eleven countries are on board and this will send a very strong message to the us and other countries in the region that messages asia pacific countries see regional trade deals as the best way forward that's in contrast to the views of u.s. president donald trump who withdrew the united states from the t p p the trans-pacific partnership isn't finalized yet some parts of the deal still need to be negotiated but the fact that it's still alive without the us combined with china is increasingly assertive role in this region means that this apec summit has come to a close with a sense that the united states is looking more isolated even the final statement

from apec leaders was contentious and took longer than usual to finalize reportedly because of u.s. concerns about the wording the leaders call for the removal of market distorting subsidies came after president trump was highly critical of unfair trade practices during his speech on friday or the promotion of free and open trade and investment in the asia pacific region is a mission for opec member. and a means to maintain a parent is the key driver for regional integration. despite the statement a pic again showed that the united states under donald trump has a different view on trade to most other asia pacific nations wayne hay al jazeera donning vietnam five u.s. senators have strongly condemned president donald trump's environmental policy and they caught twenty three summit in germany american delegates at the u.n. climate conference emphasized their commitment to fighting climate change despite

chung's decision to pull out of the paris accords page a sharp reports. thousands of protesters took to the streets of bonn following the statue of liberty spewing smoke a none too subtle reminder president trump's decision to end the u.s. commitment to the paris climate accord the for these demonstrators on the sidelines of the two hundred nation talks on global warming not enough was being done to fight climate change and it's time for people to come forward. and of course i don't think anything will come of this conference like last year in the year before now expectations but that's why i'm here because i feel people have to take the issue into their own hands if something is to happen back in june president trump outraged the climate change lobby when he announced that the united states was pulling out of the paris agreement today i'm taking bold action to follow through on that promise my administration is putting an end to the war on coal and have

clean coal really clean coal. but if trump believes support for the paris accord would drift away saturday's climate conference proved him wrong delegates from u.s. cities states and businesses accounting for more than half of the country's economy were in bonn to demonstrate their continued support for urgent climate change the overall message here in this venue is that the united states of america is the paris agreement and we are going. to do it. in the conference california governor jerry brown took some heat from protesters over the controversial oil extracting method of fracking in the state. was that managed to turn that around we take somewhere noise farmer into energy and camembert will get the job done america where here where and how we're not going away the task at this

forces are carrying out the operation in a province it's believed eisel fighters are holding ten thousand civilians hostage in the town of imran khan has the latest from the iraqi capital baghdad. the operation began early on saturday morning as iraqi forces went in to the town of ramadi is described as a town however it's a series of small villages where i still fight as i have been holed up after they fled operations against them in ramadi and fallujah now this is on the border the border crossing with jordan which has been a strategic stranglehold for managed to stop traffic coming in and out of that border crossing so this is quite key although we're not expecting huge amounts of i saw fighters to be in the area the fact that they are still there means that they were controlling that territory and this is all about who gets to control the territory now we're not expecting this to be as large an operation as we've seen

perhaps say in mosul or against eisel in syria what we're expecting is the operation to be concluded fairly swiftly in fact what militia sources are telling us from the ground in amman is that ramana has already been liberated that hasn't been confirmed by the joint operations command that also the joint operations commander told i'll just say that they're very concerned about civilian casualties and they want to avoid them so they're going to go in and a step by step basis they're going to surround romana first take ramana and then likely to move across the euphrates river and into and do exactly the same as a tactic that we've seen the iraqi security forces before take over areas outside of the areas i still control and then use that as a staging post to go in now like i said we're expecting this operation to take months or weeks it's going to be likely it is going to take days and we will have a news within the next few days about the operation itself but the iraqi security forces very confident that this they can they can route eisel the last remaining

a group of women pensioners managed to stage their own protest sitting down in the middle of the route and refusing to budge lifted from my seat yet when everybody. fears of violence proved unfounded but fears remain about what the advance of the far right need for the future of. the nationalist march has become larger and larger. this is also reflected in police politics so more and more people are voting for extreme right wing parties. in a stark contrast to the march of the extremists antigovernment protesters were paying their respects to the man who set himself on fire last month declaring the ruling party was destroying both the law and democracy in the country from a distance that you suppose i don't like the law and just as government and the way they conduct their promises they did a few good things for poles but mostly they do things in a shameless and arrogant way under the cover of the night and i don't like it. they also came to lay rocks at the scene building a care in
