p. seems willing to accept the saudi explanation for now meanwhile you have prominent republican senators people like lindsey graham who are refusing to accept the saudi claim saying that it is implausible it doesn't satisfy them are we seeing something of a sea change now because many of those senators have had access to classified intelligence could we see a situation where once again president trump is at odds with his own intelligence agencies i think we we are seeing that right now i think mr trump has been very clear he's accepting the saudi version of events because he's linking it in his own words to the prospect of selling arms which is something he does not want to undermine the problem here is that he and perhaps other governments like the u.k. governments who are selling arms to saudi arabia may well end up isolating themselves from their own populations in support of a man m.b.'s who is himself becoming isolated to

a large degree within the saudi ruling classes and certainly a lot of his people are very disappointed with what has happened so it may well be that mr trump is backing the wrong horse the the tragedy of all of this is that mr trump perhaps is not being advised there is absolutely no way that saudi arabia would go to russia or china to buy arms for a number of reasons one is that it takes years to adapt from one type of armament to another and they cannot survive with that sort of gap the other thing of course is the mindset of the saudis is such that they cannot buy anything that is not the best it is like a designer culture when it comes to armament they would be humiliated if they were relegated to buying russian or chinese. weapons when as far as they're concerned

the best weapons are american or british or european so i think for a number of reasons. mr trump actually holds a lot more influence than perhaps he's realized but then. on the other hand he has staked his entire middle east policy on a strategic partnership with the saudis does that limit america's room to maneuver what does that mean for that position now well i think the he should be briefed that he has phenomenal influence these regimes in the middle east are hugely reliant on american goodwill and protection without it they don't want to survive without it they probably will struggle if they didn't have it so there is norma's influence the and his policy should be about using that influence in a productive manner what the u.s. is losing of course is its moral of forestry as former vice president joe biden

has said and i think what mr trump will find is that many people within his own party and certainly within wider society including the media are now not going to let this one go i think you'll find this is a bridge too far and it may well end up with m.b.a.'s being sacrificed he may well be sidelined another crown prince put in his place to try and pacify the growing criticism across the world but particularly within us and the u.k. thank you very much fair analysis of from. still ahead for you very shortly thousands of migrants were finding our way into mexico after breaking through a border fence on the guatemalan side. and there's trouble brewing which is in new york assembling radiance for a hex on us you mean court judge brett kavanaugh. we've

for many years and i don't know why president obama didn't negotiate for full out. we're not going to let them violate a nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to we're the ones that have stated in the agreement and we've honored the agreement but russia has not one fortunately on to the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out. well now here in london there has been the biggest protest yet against britain leaving the european union organizers say of a half a million join the much demanding a second referendum on the final price that deal paul brennan was that. in twenty sixteen concerned that leaving the e.u. might result in chaos but dismissed as project fear by breck's its supporters but with just five months to go until britain leaves the e.u. and still no agreement on the terms of departure millions of people are now very afraid indeed my major concerns are for the future not for my generation yes we're

going to be completely stuffed with this but for my children's future and my grandchildren's future we could have all of our rights taken away because one of the trade deals taken and the students we are under a bill to that and it's off you just are going to be destroyed because the that. this was a massive turnout people came from all over the u.k. to attend in the crowd was at least five times larger than the one hundred thousand originally predicted by the organizers. there was a significantly smaller progress event in the northern town of harry gets on saturday nigel faraj urging the prime minister to just get on with this. you'll be able to suggest about the purpose of those that voted remain here now say we're democrats and we think the government should simply get on with it i mean it's almost if you get on with it fulfil your promises to us you said if you voted to leave it would happen it needs to happen. but what is it the people's rights campaigners say the it's promised and voted for in twenty sixteen is not what's

going to be delivered in march next year. as the weeks and months pass with no agreed bricks at dale the pressure for a people's votes is growing but what's on the surface is whether the government will actually grounds of people's votes and what the question will be if they do. once they've given us the vote then we can argue about what the question should pay and without question it should be do you want to devastate the united kingdom and create catastrophic consequences for the economy or you want to pay the option to stay in a you will definitely be on the ballot paper because it is. the question is. i know. the prime minister is still refusing to hold another referendum but the opposition labor party seems reluctant to force one with the pressure from the voting public may yet force the hand paul brennan al-jazeera central london
