known because turkey not only used persuasion and dialogue to convince them it also used the threat of force it also said that it could use the moderate opposition to take on these so-called radical groups if they do not implement the deal. does what happens in this demilitarized zone define the face of the entire province so. no because this demilitarized zone like i mentioned it rings around it creates really a new front line between the opposition and the government troops and their allies but a few days back we heard the syrian president say this is just a temporary deal the syrian government wants to regain control over the whole of provinces and that's what people are afraid of we keep talking about fighters but there are three million people who live in this province and many of them are wanted by the syrian government they do not want to return to live under state control so people are quite worried but at the end of the day it is outside players

who are calling the shots and it is turkey and russia which are really determining the fate of right now these two countries they need to work each other each of them have their own interests and that's why they came up with this deal russia needs turkey if it wants to push ahead with the political process and russia does not want a bloodbath in order to get europe to pay for the reconstruction of syria so many thanks indeed. live in beirut the allies of german chancellor angela merkel have suffered their worst results since nine hundred fifty and regional elections in bavaria it threatens to deepen divisions in german politics over issues such as immigration the strong when it came reports now from munich. for decades the christian social union is dominated by variant politics but no longer now the vote has slumped dozens of seats have been lost and the overall majority has gone for the c.s. used current leader and sitting prime minister it was time to put on a brave face. we accept the results with humility and we will have

to learn from it we must analyze it clearly but one thing is clear despite the prognosis discussions and comments the c.s.u. is not only the strongest party but it's also received a clear mandate to go. when asked for the greens this was a moment for celebration their vote more than. doubled and did eight of bavarians biggest cities they came first cementing their position here as the leading party of the center left displacing the social democrats something the national polls had suggested for some time by and yet something the parliamentary election results of already changed to the area tonight because it clearly shows that people want politics that encourages instead of spreading fear that solves current problems instead of constant producing new ones it shows clearly that you can win elections if you bet on courage confidence and passion and don't suffer in a right wing way and yet one party that did precisely that was the alternative to

germany in the twenty thirteen election they didn't exist this time around their stance on tougher migration and border controls won them more than ten percent of the vote tuesday evening that is how i view this result is the message to medical medical must finally guard barracks. we have the natural successes the c.s.u. we stand for our traditions our families and for our bavaria for bavaria is a bless land dear friends. in the immediate aftermath of this election attention will focus on who will form the next government here early indications of the c.s.u. will try to patch together a small majority with one of the minor policies but some more profound problems on not so easily solved sunday's result seems to many people here like a mini earthquake shaking the c.s.u. to its finalization in its own eyes the question now is what will the off the

shelves be that's a national level don't make a al-jazeera in news. we're going to weather update next here on al-jazeera then remembering the five hundred who were killed in somalia as worst of a bombing one year. and huge told us off the coast of senegal and danger in a traditional way of life will tell you more. leslie hit portugal hurrican met with harken force winds in the damage became apparent as it's in this massive cloud here you can't even see that proper circulation because it no longer is but this is what it did felled trees but more importantly snapped a swathe of trees that some wind you need to do that but that's what it did all the same so it's no longer as unlike

we're up the nicaraguan police had announced yesterday that any player that's because the government said it would be considered illegal and would not be allowed despite this we've seen several people come out on the streets and protest the government. that the police have started arresting them by one each one of these peaceful protesters as well i thought as as attacking members of the present was recently by my producer and i were recently hit with the tear gas canister. members of the press were forced to huddle together for safety as the arrests unfolded. the nicaraguan police have used physical violence against journalists during demonstrations yeah wide this latest protest in managua was meant to represent the first demonstration by an organized political coalition of activists calling themselves the alliance for national unity. and i want you. think the whole thing is just terrible the provocation against the people is too

much it's too much there has to be invented if all of us had enough. heavy militarized police presence across much of downtown man i was prevented any more anti-government protesters from gathering on the streets of the city the police of criminalize dissent in the country meaning supporters of the government are the only nicaraguan citizens allowed to demonstrate on the streets. mental health support has urgently needed in yemen to avert lifelong psychological damage to a generation of children that's according to a new study by save the children children over the age of three years old have already lived through more than eighteen thousand s trikes in their lifetimes seventy nine percent of children spoken to live in the capital sanaa showed signs of serious psychological consequences or was as a result of the escalating conflict that included bedwetting nightmares hypervigilance grief depression anxiety aggression and feeling withdrawn but

there's a widespread social stigma around mental health in yemen there are only forty eight psychiatrists in the whole country or proximately one for every seven hundred thousand people in the conflict in yemen has made it difficult for kids to get an education at least two million of them are out of school but for those that are able to get to the classroom they're prepared to do whatever it takes to stay there as bernard smith reports. these children shouldn't be anywhere near what's left of their school clambering over rubble on the bombed ceilings on along the walls that could give way at any minute but the concentration in their faces shows how much they want to try to learn since twenty fifteen the school in ties in southwestern yemen has been hit by asterix artillery and gunfire. our schools have been destroyed because of this barbaric girl who came from the silence of history and corrupted or learned what brought them here and what do they want look at our

school this is their mark they did not come distributing books or supporting students or to praise teachers they came with destruction with slogans of that those people eat and drink. the school is stuck in the middle of a relentless battle for territory between the rebels and the saudi u.a.e. led coalition that backs the yemeni government has asked way mad though education is the basis to rebuild the state knowledge is light and ignorance is darkness we want to tell the government and private and affiliated parties that we are tired of promises and procrastination we want to go back to work not words we want to turn our values into action and into reality if there are no classes to go to the boys according to the united nations children's fund risk being recruited as child soldiers. almost half humans girls if not in school.

in the school got hit we studied at home some of our teachers were killed and some students our friends also died it angered us and it saddened at our school was big so now it's just destroyed the playground has been turned into a battleground. two million children will be out of school this year in yemen that's according to unicef and another four million primary school children risk losing access to education because seventy percent of our teachers haven't been paid in the last two years and they're being forced to find work elsewhere bernard smith al-jazeera djibouti. a memorial ceremony has been held in somalia on the first anniversary of the largest ever bomb blast. for reports. sunday was a national day for somalis to mourn a year to the day since the massive truck bomb was detonated at a busy intersection in the capital it's been described as the largest explosion in somalia's troubled history and the worst attack since nine eleven in the us. they

a lot of blood i struggled for some time no one came to my rescue then outside the shop i saw the whole area in flames dead bodies burning bodies and buildings on fire it's one year now i survived and i'm now back at work. other survivors such as abdulla ali still have to be treated in hospital he was selling sweets at the intersection when the blast happened his wife was there too but he will never see her again because. they told me she's fine but that she sustained injuries and she's being treated in hospital after a while i found that she could not be found even her body was never found many somalis who were there that day have a similar story to ali and while reconstruction of the area has begun building still in ruins much like the lives of those affected by the disaster. for al-jazeera the atlantic ocean off the coast of west africa has long been rich in

a major investment conference in riyadh what was dubbed davus in the desert is supposed to promote saudi crown prince mohammed bin sermons reform vision for the kingdom the financial times bloomberg c.n.n. new york times and reporters from the economist and c n.b.c. wall now not to be going the c.e.o.'s of viacom one of the founders of a.o.l. have also said they won't be attending other business leaders are reassessing their ties with saudi arabia richard branson founder of the virgin group has suspended investment talks in a space venture and involvement in two saudi tourism projects former u.s. energy secretary ernest money is is backing away from bin simon's dream megacity project neil binns armin's twenty thirty vision seeks to radically change the image of the kingdom but he's under fire over human rights issues economic reforms and foreign policy dozens of rights activists clerics and female campaigners have been

detained in recent months last year many saudi princes and business men were arrested accused of corruption some of those released had to pay hefty fines the highly anticipated listing of state all state owned oil giant around has been put on hold. and decided saudi forces would join the war in yemen but three years on the fight against the who the rebels continues and the blockade of gaza is still led by saudi arabia splitting the gulf cooperation council and causing regional instability. let's now bring in our guests here in doha khalid al hotter an economist and researcher at the institute for new economic thinking at the university of cambridge in london a slim chief market analyst at think markets and in washington d.c. herb director of research and analysis at the arab center washington d.c.

a warm welcome to you all let me begin with you. that can you just explain to the viewer what the saudi crash means what what how did this happen. it means as the there is a doubt and there is doubt. there is a feeling it and exile and fear in the market were associated with the elevated and certain it associated with the case of the young the possible involvement of these already government in this case and then the possible repercussion of this on the weather on negative impact on the atmosphere of the investment or economic impact of economic penalties by the west or the i doubt it or even possible change in power structures or they're out of the this is something really major and there are doubters already existed in the canal in the in the saudi policy we have seen erratic and reckless policy over the recent period from the ritz carlton case to a war in yemen to qatar sank it took

a sanction to go around to her recent cancellation over a major project major energy project. solar system solar energy projects over the in my opinion the case is just a major trigger of all of this and can show the war and how the mentality of the a leadership in power right now in saudi arabia and how far they can go with their reckless policy crossing ordered. barrier of red lines and this is really we put the political part of an economic partner and political allies in very difficult situation we see many of them running away we already have seen it and trying to distance themselves from the regimes who are the the saudi government is in really not in the chamber i mean it's in the difficult situation this is very serious and we either they would have to come up with a way to come up out clean out of this or to you or we might see

a change in power structure or change in in political and economic policy and do what is more reform more opening up. with a gun we have a new model i haven't seen this so far let me just bring in a slum here looking at this sort of global perspective the markets are clearly jittery but not because of jamal khashoggi death is it more because of the fact that all of these high profile c.e.o.'s have pulled out of what was dubbed in the desert that that's the economic impact or do you think it is because of death. ledger i must say thanks. thanks i think when it comes to f.b.i. foreign direct investment what you wanted to have is you want to have a certainty what you cannot tolerate is a stubbornness in any single meant because when the business leaders and everyone else sensed that ok we do not have an assurity we do not have a political stability in the country that is the least thing that any investor or

any firm wants to see and hence if these news which are becoming a headline apparently as you've correctly pointed out on bloomberg and c n b c but there. are calls for posted so this will become a major concern because the founder of origin money ever or a virgin brand is not something something small if they don't tip on as at these levels decide to ok that we're going to cut ties are we going to scale back from all of other investments that we were pretty planning or intending to do inside eurabia of justice are the stock market is going to have a huge reaction of course it is very normal for a stock market to have a reaction where nearly eighty two stocks out of eighty six stocks are in a deep negative territory thirty three billion dollar is the literally vite of the the stock market today but we have seen this movie over

a nover in different parts of the world because panic when the traders are similar in it where on the back of these such headlines these kind of reactions are very normal what we wanted to see is is the sergeant arabia coming up and then saying ok look we are going to resolve this matter with other political mints but i wanted to point out one important element overhead because just the u.s. or the president trump administration is coming up and saying that we going to have a very strong reaction about this they are not talking to a country which does. hold a major commodity we i mean i am what i would say i hate to bring this up one thousand nine hundred seventy three oil embargo is an im very important example here where sargent arabia retaliated against the us yes the situation isn't the

same because us is producing more than ten million barrel a day but to answer your question very precise the uncertainty for f.d.r. is the worst thing that can happen to any country that's a really important point the seventy three oil embargo is a very important point let me bring in. it was used as a political tool to put pressure on the u.s. now u.s. president donald trump is very clearly said there will be repercussions but what can the u.s. president really do in saudi arabia seems to be holding a lot of the business cards is surely. yes ordinary beer is holding a lot of the business cards the problem is that. i i'm sorry but i don't tribute they would much credence with the president or president don't trump says. we're aware we're talking about a person who is who prefers. anybody coming and investing in the united states buying weapons buying whatever it is. over or repercussions over things of that

nature i have a feeling that the man is just simply sewing for some time he wants to buy some time to see how things may change i i on the other hand don't see anything really changing this event is a major political event not only an economic event and the problem is that you know what saudi arabia is able to do whether it is able to do the one nine hundred seventy three thing to redo nine hundred seventy three is a to me is doubtful saudi arabia has not had the economic transformation that. you know vision twenty thirty or any other plans have indicated so it's still dependent on selling oil if it doesn't sell the oil it's not going to have revenue let's talk about. anybody right now let me bring in call it a hotline what impact will this have on his grand plan to stop saudi arabia relying

on oil i think they with regard to the vision this is a sign of the failure of the vision the vision already has suffered from many of critiques and it has been it's reinforced the dollars about the vision about the sustainability and about the credibility and the sustainability of the saudi konami policy. to me my my my many economists not just by me to me i am already pessimistic about this because it does not address the real issue that he issue in saudi arabia what the then the need that the citizen needs a home health. education employment you're talking about the place and if there is a twenty percent in the with so the people of the saudi arabia these days they don't need a city they don't need show project they don't need to dig a canal and qatar which we with a lot of money it's infeasible anyway economically or politically. the many add

that observe asian on the vision with regard to the negative impact on the labor market in the private sector and the method in which the tax was implemented if i tell you from my own sources what i hear that there are many businessmen and saudi arabia trying to get their money out these days don't fear of being confiscated thought if you are you are not creating the right atmosphere. and via are meant to attracts if the. investment is very important and the hush of any event is a major trigger as a major target it's something is there an end in the in the mentality of the leadership the young leadership are there that we will see a change in order to find a way to get the government hands clean out of this order twill be a serious disaster a serious is also let me bring in

a muslim here when you're on your trading floor when you're looking at all your screens the bloomberg screen the terminal and you're doing all of your financial analysis when you're looking at the numbers when it relates to the grand vision for twenty thirty do those numbers add up to you can saudi arabia. loosen its reliance on oil and develop this vision all is it like a solid the heart of saying it's a bit of a dream because actually they're not addressing the real issues in saudi arabia which are unemployment amongst the youth which are you know much more structural problems back at home. lake one three are discussing the structural problems they do not go overnight it takes a long period of time for these structural and cyclical changes to happen and one of the national tests that m.b.a.'s taken was bringing diverse in science as you pointed out but rather that concept can stay there whether they can sustain that credibility this is the huge question because we are talking about middle east or

here we are talking about you either like dubai on one hand qatar on the other side side arabia on the other side they all know one thing very clearly or iran. leave the iran out for the time being because it doesn't have the same position but we all know one thing very clearly that we cannot rely on oil hands m.p.s. said ok we want to change our economic dependence by going into foreign direct by investing into bigger funds and then perhaps do some sort of a format was scandinavian countries have done and then drive the revenue through that way that wouldn't happen overnight that will take enormous amount of a time but a clear geo political instability like this is absolutely critical for the country and like you would not see any investors feeling comfortable when they do not feel that ok i can draw my funds i can pull out of

a country i have my freedom of speech or any of these elements you do not want to do that because if n.b.s. is really serious in changing the view about us argot arabia how the outside world see he got to show some sustainable results he got to show some important and solid results of that by having a stubborn behavior is not the way the decider arabia can do we know the recent spat between saudi arabia and canada and i was just over some few tile point whatever that is a really important point william let me just let me. stalky that's a very important point i want to bring in and that her bad. name just said the saudis have a stubborn attitude which is stopping them from developing a political response to all of this is that sad what you know is stubborn attitude is you can describe it as a stubborn attitude but then again you know all governments act in that sense were

they feel that they are sovereign and they do not want to be interfered with which is which is you know a very very fair point the problem is you know why are we here i mean the that same government that is rejecting any interference in its affairs is really making really major mistakes i mean since. the beginning of twenty fifteen when kings oman . rose to the throne and brought along his son with him you know so terribly has made really some serious better various leaders mistakes and no reckoning so far you know for how long will saudi arabia keep going with with this considering that none of it worked and all of it costs a lot of money i mean in saudi arabia is in yemen alone it pays probably like you know i think the figure is like five to seven billion a month on on it war that that is that going anywhere you know they're out of

certain other things that the saudi government politically speaking needs to do to make a serious effort to try to change the atmosphere surrounding everything that its delivery bring khalid answer the head this from one side and to the political reckoning a political reckoning our guest says combined together the cost of the war in yemen . around i.p.o. being put on hold. all of the problems that the crown prince's had with trying to get everybody get everybody to go along side with him and then the siege of qatar. all of this in combination is saudi arabia now a bad investment yes i think it's i think we might see a. pressure by drawing attention to saudi arabia and to that it might have some positive result that you cannot get away with all of this on the west cannot keep close an eye on it as it's gone because of political and

economic interest we might see drawing attention to the record in here because in human right and. political dissident an opinion over speech and press we might see less of that hopefully in the future also there could be some positive side into this a story let me bring in a muslim here we have the situation where investors are clearly jittery about saudi arabia as a country to put money into. a lot of things seem to be happening very quickly a lot of investors are making one snap decision i guess or has this been a long time coming is saudi arabia seen as being always being a risky investment but the risk was always worth it. i don't know if the risk is always worth it i think it depends on the administration to your answer that and to provide that. platform because if you want to attract investment you need to have

a quality labor and talent how do you attract talent because you provide them stay belletti you provide them a different opportunity if it out that you cannot do it and that m.b.a.'s did recently go into silicon valley and by far i applaud that because i thing none of the other saudi officials that i know of have done anything like that where they've met the c.e.o. of deformities of big big corporations and then trying to convince them to bring those investments or their research hubs back in saudi arabia and then this is what i was saying earlier there is a huge sort of a competition going on between the countries and qatar by far has a very very lenient rules because it's providing residency is providing a lot of government support for a new startups which if we are talking about it is all about ai it is all about green energy it is all about fame tech who is going to do that the most efficient

way who's going to bring the most amount of the research labs within these. among these countries would be the winner because we know the fossil fuel isn't the answer anymore the only answer is to divert the development in the fin tech space and over in the u.k. just comparing a similar situation if you look at the bracks it and everything else if the u.k. loses that talent because of the brags that everyone else is going i'm talking about the unstable a-t. element which is right there in saudi arabia now while saudi arabia didn't does doesn't have that talent but is trying to attract that talent so with the with the with the presence of that and stability it was suffer more let me bring in emma her head listen listening to all of our guest talk about the economic side of this there has to be a way out of the saudis politically what will politically calm the markets calm the international community what will what are the options for saudi arabia.

listen there are there are many options i mean you know there are those who or i believe it's just too extreme to to try to ask for a complete change of leadership in saudi arabia this is a legitimate rule it's the king needs to be make some. you know some some really serious decisions including including his crown prince and including but visors around his crown prince i mean you know this is for the saudis to determine i mean there will nobody can really be that they'll saudi arabia hey this is the sovereign issue you know while we want to interfere and no i think saudi arabia should decide on this but then again saudi arabia should be there are very very smart think capable people in the royal family and in the saudi echelon of power so you know there are many many important things that can be done you know you could you can you know lift up the ban on expression in saudi arabia you can open up to

the world you can say hey listen but there are certain things that we need to do to god in yemen you know understandably yemen is a very very important strategic issue for saudi arabia but you know going to war in yemen against the very very poor country it's just. shouldn't happen it shouldn't be there are political ways of dealing with this issue. the affair is very very to me i'm sorry to say it but it's a very shameful affair shameful affair let me just something that because we are running out of time and i would like another also from from all three of you give me mr khalid al fatah in thirty seconds will you think is the way out for saudi arabia if there is indeed one that you think they can take if i tell you before serious political reform and economic reform to reinforce economic and social instability first and foremost and then this hopefully will lead to economic and

political instability and sustainability of the regime otherwise there is no way out you know a muslim thirty seconds walk. the saudi government has advice. it's a stop provide more stability on its border by stopping all the wars with the neighboring countries that would promote the entire state political element in the middle east and side arabia would attract a lot of investment just because of that and him of her thirty seconds if you were advising the saudi government right now. liberalize the domestic front allow people to say what they want to say that will that will tell the world that you are ready for a good investment you are ready for you know coming forward for review serious reform because you know no country can really develop if this these things keep happening in saudi arabia so there we have it we seem to be developing

a narrative of that this is a very serious perhaps the most serious situation saudi arabia face both politically and economically let me just ask one very quick question to you khalid al hunt that was the idea of the economic locating in scott that all of this sort of stuff is clearly had an impact on you personally do you see a way of a climbdown when it comes to the relations between saudi arabia and qatar within the region can never get back to normal what do you mean the relations between saudi arabia and qatar get back to normal yes of course everything is possible if there is a will and there is. good intention it is possible. good intentions well thank you to all our guests. thank you for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j.

rolls out radioactive isotopes from underneath the dime roll out with it if it really we're not talking just the marshall islands we're talking the horse shit. the saudi king cole's turkey's president to discuss the disappearance of jamal khashoggi in istanbul. hello i'm adrian finighan this is a live from doha also coming up big gains for the green party in germany's regional election could it weaken chancellor merkel's coalition. now the saudi and iraq war

it makes the task of going to school anything but simple. violence on the streets of nicaragua as police break up new demonstrations against president daniel ortega . saudi arabia's king solomon and turkey's president. have spoken by phone about the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi king solomon says that no one will undermine the strength of their relationship and has reaffirmed his commitment to a joint investigation al jazeera is loans that the head of saudi intelligence has arrived in turkey and is to meet with turkish officials saudi arabia has thanked the u.s. for not jumping to conclusions but warns that it will retaliate against any threats u.s. president donald trump and warned of severe punishment if saudi arabia was found to be behind the disappearance meanwhile the u.k.

france and germany had jointly calling for a credible investigation into g.'s face and ford and j.p. morgan are the latest companies to pull out of a major investor conference in the saudi kingdom let's go live now to istanbul stratford is outside the saudi consulate so where are we now with this investigation into the disappearance of jamal khashoggi. the culture that opened the smalling as it has done in recent days we've seen the. a number of people go in and out of the consulate since it opened were on sure as to who they are that certainly there doesn't seem to be any solid evidence really all this investors you team anywhere close to being allowed into the consulate this joint investigative team as you mentioned there king solomon in conversation on the telephone with president obama last night thanking him for agreeing to some sort of

joint investigation inside the building we've spoken to government sources an interesting day say that turkish all sorts as last week were literally at the point of going into the building and we understand that a telephone conversation was made for me inside saudi arabia the saudi authorities contacting president over to wants to see what he was on a visit to hungary. pleading or insisting that see this joint investigative committee was set up the fact of the matter is is that it's a mystical shows he went into that building almost two weeks ago now and all evidence would suggest that say he never came out again as you say it's nearly two weeks why is this investigation taking so long. well let's not forget also that there is a turkish police investigation criminal investigation that is ongoing but of course that doesn't have access either to the alleged crime scene government sources that

we've spoken to this morning saying that the major sticking point in terms of allowing access to this joint team is the nature of the investigation itself how thorough that investigation is going to be there seems to be a lack of agreement as to the degree of for example forensic analysis that may be allowed inside the embassy the turks. are saying that they are concerned that they will only be allowed or that could be restrictions on the amount of investigation they. do they describe. them being forced to actually just looking at what they describe as an all eyes only investigation that seems to be the major sticking point of course the longer this goes on and we don't see any movement here the greater the pressure internationally there is on saudi arabia and all you believe the greater pressure more pressure on the turkish government as well to release

what salma turkish government sources is have told the media is a very strong evidence in the midst of a show she was murdered inside the consulate so yeah the longer this goes on the more pressure on saudi arabia and arguably the more pressure on turkey here the host country to this consulate just many thanks indeed and as it is just right for the live in istanbul the saudi stock markets have reopened after the main index in riyadh fell by seven percent on sunday mike hanna reports from washington the saudi stock market suffered its biggest fall in years following president trump's warning it recovered slightly during the day but it was the purse tangible sign of the impact of this crisis on the saudi conduct. and impact too on the once cozy relationship between the trumpet ministration and saudi leaders a statement released by the saudi news agency threatening global retaliation against any sanction came just hours after president come spoke of severe

punishment that saudi arabia proved complicit in jamal khashoggi his disappearance . no dodge among members of congress that this should involve economic sanction despite president trump stated reluctance to pull such measures so i would just say this to you or for confidence if this is proven to be true there is going to be a response from congress it's going to be nearly unanimous it's going to be swift and it's going to go pretty far and that could include arms sales but it could include a bunch of other things as well european leaders to making clear they will not stand by they must have seen the huge international concern from the united states now from britain france and germany what they need to do is to cooperate fully with the investigation that the turks are asking us to do and to get about all this and if as they say this this terrible murder didn't happen then where is jamal khashoggi and that's what the world wants to know here a former cia director casting doubt to the vehemence saudi denials of him told them

and their denials ring hollow very much for a hollow to go after a permanent resident states who writes for the washington post and doing it on foreign soil at a diplomatic mission to me would be inconceivable that such an operation would be run by the saudis without the knowledge of the day to day decision maker of saudi arabia that's crown prince mom been said. in an apparent bid to diffuse the tension the saudi foreign ministry has released a tweet thanking the u.s. and others for rip braining from jumping to conclusions despite this though a relationship that was once so warm is along with the saudi stock market reaching a new low mike hanna is here a washington a view now from senator hart a who's a professor of middle eastern politics at the university of oklahoma he says that despite political pressure in the u.s.

focusing on arms deals with saudi arabia there's little appetite within the leadership of either country to cancel weapons deals. president trump does not want to cancel this arms sales for all different kinds of reasons and the saudis also want to go through i don't think china and russia would hesitate for a second to take the place of the united states as the leading arms supplier to saudi arabia but again there are costs and some not necessarily apparent that would go with something like that saudi officers many of them are trained in the united states and some in western europe there are military is geared to those kinds of arms switching out sophisticated weapons systems all of a sudden for russian made or chinese made weapons causes all kinds of problems having to do ensure operability and training and maintenance and so on so this is not as easy as simply mohammed and someone taking a decision snapping his fingers and going forward there are real costs involved

what are the long term implications potentially on the saudi economy and on confidence in the saudi economy as a place for investment mean it's clearly a huge economy and there's a spaces for people to make money and companies will do so but if there are real questions about these kinds of issues and so on the net is going to lead not only that members but many others to think twice and three times about investing a dollar in saudi arabia. the largest armed group in syria's rebel held it live province a signal that it's abiding by the terms of the demilitarized deal agreed last month . or h.t.s. has not previously said whether it has accepted or rejected the agreement between russia and turkey or the deal said a deadline of monday for rebel groups to withdraw all faces from inside it live in the country's northwest to a key which is overseeing the agreement hasn't yet commented on whether the terms are being met the zone was meant to be cleared of heavy weapons by october tenth

five days ago let's go live now to beirut i was there as a whole is following this from the day the second deadline signed up for the implementation of this deal is it now being implemented. well so far we don't see any movement on the ground there haven't been reports from ad lib that these fighters of these so-called radical groups groups deemed terrorist by the international community they haven't started withdrawing as of yet and you did mention that turkey this is the country that is overseeing the implementation of this deal so far it hasn't issued any statement we have to remember last week the first deadline october ten when moderate rebels as well as the radical groups were obliged to withdraw their heavy weapons they did so and the turkish government confirmed that but a statement released by high a to havea sham which is the main military alliance controlling this buffer zone that is going to separate government forces from the

opposition they released a statement late yesterday and reading through the lines it doesn't actually say that they support or will comply with the sochi deal but reading between the lines it gives its tacit approval let me just read you one sentence we appreciate the efforts that are done inside and outside outside of course in reference to turkey to protect quote the liberated areas to prevent an invasion and to prevent massacres we know that this deal was reached in order to stave off the possibility of a syrian government offensive so hypothetically to shame a very pragmatic group they quietly complied with the first deadline on october the tenth and now they're single signaling readiness really to comply with the second condition and that is to withdraw their fighters from this twenty kilometer deep demilitarized zone data does whatever happens in this demilitarized zone defy in the face of the entire province i think i lost you adrian. as anybody here was

just saying does this. define the face of the entire province. but looks like that economy will move on. out of their lives in beirut now an important border crossing between syria and jordan has been reopened for the first time in three years the syrian government retook the area near the crossing from rebels in july as part of a russian backed offensive to drive fighters from southwestern syria the border used to be a major transit route for goods and passengers a weather update next year on al-jazeera then big election losses in bavaria and state elections for allies of germany's chancellor angela merkel will be lived.
