tax by armed groups on visitors in two thousand and fifteen well how much has the story. tunisia's tourism industry is taken off the sandy beaches of seuss' in the northeast are again sophia is a general manager of siebel who tell all four hundred eighty beds are fully booked even though the hot season has ended a little is brazil to come to the system in twenty seventeen we started to feel like european tourists are coming back and in twenty eighteen there was a remarkable increase in european tourism especially western european tourist traffic markets like belgian english luxembourg has and also french. scenes like these have not been seen since early two thousand and eleven for the uprising rock toppled former president zuma. that triggered a series of popular revolt in the region known as the arab spring. as you know the

arab spring nations tunisia paid a hefty price for the southern political upheaval groups linked to al qaeda staged a tux across the country the bloodiest wars on the museum in the capital tunis in march two thousand and fifteen that killed twenty two people twenty of them your tourists. the attacks led to a severe drop in visitor numbers hitting the country's economy list is on the deal calibrated and said the hot season has ended but urgent season is excellent as well and there are still lots of her tales which will be full for an early november it was positive and statistics are here to confirm that. but that situation began to change early two thousand and seventeen with a marked improvement you see. nearly five point five million tourists have arrived since january and major european operators including thomas cook went to your i have resumed holidays to tunisia the government says it expects visitor numbers to

hit at it called eight million by the end of the year for tunisians tourism means not only economic ease but also peace a feeling shared by those of life in the country safe yes of course i'm safe in a like tony said what in march the people are what a kind here all culture good food. i like it what it much. it doesn't suit us and elsewhere how testament to the changed off to must feel. handicraft sellers are again busy or hoping for the bad times over for good. the un's food and agriculture agency says the world will need to change the way it produces its food in order to cater to an increasing global population and the hayward went to scotland to look at an alternative approach to farming. there's no tractor or trailer or reliance on the some or the rain instead special lighting is

helping this crop of pounds of until to grow. this is the u.k.'s past fully automated vertical palm where the vents built into the trays pump the right amount of air to regulate the temperature and humidity we've taken a field we've cut it into tray sized pieces about six and a half square metres and as you can see behind me we stack them up on top of each other then we've put them in a box and we've made the weather inside the box so we've made our own sunshine we've made our own rain we've made our own wind we could heat we can we can deal with humidity. under this system being developed in scotland crops can grow quickly using ninety seven percent less water than normally would be used this method of bombing isn't being seen as a replacement for more traditional methods of agriculture but it could be useful in areas where it's difficult to grow crops where the climate is extreme. and changing

the way we produce food will be vital in the future the u.n. is warning that by twenty fifty the global population will be more than nine billion and will need to produce seventy percent more to feed everyone the technology allows us to grow food in areas of the world where it's very difficult because of the climate or an eater's of the world which is actually very little wonder billable so is changes to whole foods system supply strain for example but also seriously reduces the amount of energy and inputs that we have to put into making food. here that aiming to be energy neutral as the demands of our population increase so too will our need for innovation. well joining me now from amsterdam is adam and those adam is a co-founder and managing partner at ten tara capital good to have you with us so can the world produce enough food for nine billion people that's the big concern going forward where do you think we're heading you know i think our image is just

about delivering colorings areas and now land around the world and probably enough resources will be able i think the problem is where their food has to be in whether it's nutritious outwards or what exactly is actiq so harass ag tech is the adoption of new ideas new technologies being digital biotech material sciences applied to any aspect of that would never occur to any change that works from the stage of reading as it has on current practices transportation shelf life we just exist right give us some examples though some practical examples of what. a normal farm that's converted into ag tag how does it look different. so for example when dealing in the family you could first of all what agone put the family might choose so the genetics the actual performance of the plot how do we know that that plant is suitable for that soil really know the

right amount of seed is going to be used and then from there what you actually make a planting season how can you use data in order to be more precise about that first moment of planting and then how to treat that plant as a grows. then we go through that treatment process with different forms of pesticide fungus aren't there beside traditionally an area where some quite approved chemicals have been used and it's time to the next generation and then it's harvesting time how do we record that healed how can the family best market that product and digital biotech solutions or a buy in would look every aspect. ok we're listening to that one wonders that are we talking about a system of farming that really requires a fundamental maybe complicated set of changes to the whole process of farming and you know i don't think so and also promise can adopt it in different grades so give

it's just a better performing a c. in a cell and soil or a non-lawyer who. environment that's something that could be disability anywhere in the world and just go for activity and use you can also go very high tech and be analyzing your family even at the field over the well a plump little eventually maybe so i think that's going to be up to the farm is there enough investment going on that in like that because it sounds great investment activity is moved from let's say five years ago practically nonexistent so globally when we started looking at ten years ago three hundred million globally invested a year in a one of the largest centers in these days we're looking in the billions and take a lot of probably three to four billion last year if you include ten something percent ten so it's definitely grown is a little now that i'm not sure about you know what about developing countries will

they be left behind the ag tech revolution if they're not able to put as much money as others into the game. i personally think some of the best opportunities for women are in emerging countries and also some of the best opportunities for getting a return on that application of technology for entrepreneurs and that's in part because we've got a very big gap in developed countries which are achieving seventy sometimes eighty percent of your potential in emerging markets jobs and thirty percent another key reason would be we're seeing a step change in technology where you don't go in three i mean practices that helped him image developed markets but are given these days a hole in the back of it and that links to my third reason why it's going to be great for managing markets is less arrogance and i have a farm and there's more openness to some of the suggestions that we see in. say the

netherlands taking advice on how to do dairy when they're in world leaders for four hundred years in that sector like the point that you touched upon an initial you made me think of an issue there when he said they'll be less arrogant how different will the farmer of the future look like than compared to now because when you say farmer you know you kind of think of a chap in a field with you know raking the field with the farmer instead be sitting on a computer with a big data and doing to the school manipulations or something like that the defendant think that computers are the answer farmers who will always want to be in the food and be close to their plants their animals their land and there's a big part of that that's as a part of an integral part of found that out of the environment but using a small foreign or and i'm at in order to prioritize what to do that i want to know in more spaces in body where there might be disease pressure and how you can more

accurately apply that is to say i don't have to use the old. and actually farming at that will determine level we hope by technology and question of it. well maybe three d. printing often for example for the government i think that a different solution or a different title seven and it's possible three d. printing will hopefully but i don't see that as a fundamental revolution in the same way of what i say that mean in the fall i do think it's a novel idea and i think it will so absent transportation issues and grading issues . and certainly it can be a lot of fun in terms of different flavors textures and everything else that we're seeing at nine restaurants. well thanks so much for coming and talking to us about that it's a great pleasure thank you for having me i'm finally canada has joined a very exclusive club of countries that allows the sale of recreational marijuana off to europe why it's only the second country to do so than your lack reports from

toronto. illegal no more at midnight in the easternmost time zone the first non-medicinal cannabis is sold without breaking canadian law trade would be super happy to if you're a first person in line legalization is being celebrated countrywide and not just by smokers canadian cannabis companies have seen their share prices soar in recent months as the big day approached there is not one client yet that has not been touched by the introduction of cannabis in canada life sciences technology the banking industry retailers but in addition the companies are going to start seeing a lot of activity as they touch the cannabis market how canadians buy their cannabis depends on where they live there will be different distribution rules in each of the ten provinces and three territories some will have government run

online and real stores others private retail prices will also differ some critics say that puts too many restrictions on an activity most canadians have long wanted to be legal we can't really stop it with we better call it legalized. unfortunately the government has tried to maintain all of the details of prohibition and just call it legalized. legalizing cannabis fulfills a campaign promise made in two thousand and fifteen by prime minister justin trudeau who himself admitted several years ago that he was an occasional user in the past the government is also offering pardons to people convicted of possession now that the drug is legal. because cannabis has been outlawed for so long its effect on mind and body are being studied in detail at this toronto medical lab they're using a simulator to see how drivers who have smoked a joint react to virtual traffic conditions police and road safety advisers are

also part of the research the most important thing is for drivers to understand what's going on in their body and prevent things from happening i think everybody is interested in keeping our world safer or will help drivers. all show most canadians are not opposed to legal cannabis so long as it could be kept away from children and the multibillion dollar profits from an industry once dominated by organized crime can be taxed and used to benefit society. well that's our show for this week but remember you can get in touch with us via twitter hash tag. do or drops an e-mail counting the cost of al-jazeera dot net is our address is more for you on line of al-jazeera dot com slash c.t.c. that will take you straight to our page which has individual reports links and entire catch up on. that's it for this edition of counting the cost i'm sam is a than from the whole team here thanks for joining us the news and al-jazeera is

next. seven years after muammar gadhafi his controversial rain came to a violent day in libya is frozen in time. competing forces running for power and influence continue to disrupt a broken state that time forgot. in the second of a two part series the big picture who's to blame. the lust for libya on al-jazeera. when the going gets tough. forced to borrow. more patient. but make no mistake. she means business.

the viewfinder. prima ballerina discusses the pain and sacrifice of the two to. the brain starts from the very beginning of. our bodies are not physically prepared for what we have to do. hopes of. deception and. germany and france join the growing chorus of voices questioning the credibility of explanation which says he died during a fistfight inside the saudi consulate in istanbul.

i'm fully back to boyer watching al-jazeera live from a headquarters in doha also ahead elections in afghanistan overshadowed by violence and technical problems forcing some area sticks and voting by an extra day. pulling out of the line mark nuclear weapons president trump accuses russia of multiple violations and says the us will. i. thank you for joining us u.s. president donald trump told the washington post cold obviously this been deception and there's been lies regarding the killing of saudi journalist. the saudi government says a journalist died during a fistfight inside its consulate in istanbul earlier this month the washington post

also says cia officers have heard the audio recording that turkey says proves how he died early on saturday chum says he was not satisfied with saudi arabia's explanation. but did not condemn them either let's go live to our generous party call him in washington for us patty multiple statements from the president. in the last few hours and on his explanation he clearly can't get away from this. no and i think this is probably the most remarkable development we've seen so far let's keep in mind this is a president who has been consistent throughout the seventeen plus days that this story has been dominated the news when he talks about this he talks about saudi being an alley talks about weapon sales but this is the first time that he is openly casting serious doubt on the saudi story let's also keep in mind how this likely happened it's not as if the washington post simply called of the president said hey do you want to chat about this tonight it's much more likely that he reached out to the washington post all of it and say that in this story they quote

him by name as you mentioned he says there has been obviously there's been deception and there have been lies when asked if he thought the crown prince mohammed bin saw him on a could have been involved he said quote nobody has told me he's responsible nobody has told me he's not responsible we haven't reached that point i haven't heard either way so this is the president seemingly changing his tune even so slightly even though in this article he does talk about how saudi arabia is a valued ally still it is a sign that the president the president realizes after watching news all day the pressure is mounting. trying to campaign on the west coast us president donald trump couldn't get away from the questions about jamal khashoggi is murder it was pretty much all reporters asked about as for the saudi explanation the president had this response well i'm not satisfied until we find the answer but it was a big first step was

a good first step but i want to get to the edge he says that could come by tuesday but he again insisted that what is most important to him the money that saudi arabia spends in the u.s. the amounts of been changing over time one hundred ten billion four hundred fifty billion it's four hundred fifty thousand jobs four hundred fifty billion dollars six hundred thousand jobs it's over a million jobs but experts say those numbers are simply not true not accurate not even close the administration the white house is operating on this false narrative that saudi arabia that we all depend on saudi arabia that saudi arabia has arms purchases support american industry that they that they we need them they don't need us that they can go someplace else that's not an accurate narrative and it isn't persuading saudis critics in congress or in the press who are increasingly pointing the finger directly at the saudi crown prince mohammed bin psalm on the publisher of who should use former newspaper the washington post is accusing saudi

arabia of trying to cover up his murder and the editorial board is urging people worldwide to shun saudi arabia intil the kingdom changes right in the first step in that process is determining the full truth about the coup shoji murder and holding its likely author mohammed bin salma on fully accountable for the vice president joe biden seemed to agree with the rest of the world is watching the united states of america we have let the world and they're wondering where the hell are we what's become of us and now. n.b.s. the saudi arabia who i know my lord he's making excuses. by the way you know that all expression some people bring a gun to a knife right where you don't bring bandsaws to flights the anger shows no signs of abating this is the straw that broke the camel's back as far as united states is

concerned that these other incidents i think he's got the past. he's not going to get a pass on this. it seems the biggest question in washington now how big of a price could saudi have to pay. the washington post as a couple of other interesting tidbits and here it says that senator lindsey graham a close advisor to the president has been very outspoken on this issue even calling for regime change in saudi arabia basically saying m.b.'s has to go that he's warned the president that if he does not react strongly saudi arabia will no longer respect him we know that that is a sore point for the president if he feels he's being disrespected the washington post says on the other side of this is jared kushner the president's son in law and senior advisor and his chief of staff john bolton that they're basically saying you've got to stay with saudi arabia they're the key to getting any sort of israeli palestinian peace deal which we know the president feels is very important to his

legacy but i think it's also important to point out that we haven't seen he is a close relationship with n.b.s. he has not been involved in this process he didn't go meet the crown prince when the secretary of state went and according to the washington post the president is increasingly annoyed with his son in law feels that he misjudged the situation feels like he was blindsided by the whole thing patty thank you for that political force in washington d.c. now saudi arabia says the matter should be down to with by its own course but turkey's ruling party is insisting it will not allow a saudi cover up. scaling reports from istanbul. to days of cooling the allegations baseless loisa saudi arabia has admitted to the world. she was killed in selling to the consulate in istanbul. it is crucial she died as a result of a brawl that broke out with officials who had flown to help him return to saudi arabia reality admission is

a sharp turn for the kingdom which is always insisted that he had left the building twenty minutes after he had entered a few of buying the latest saudi narrative we know the facts now the turks have dribbled dripped out for the last couple of weeks this is now about a political battle rather than a quest for the truth because again i think we know what the truth is i think turkey is going to fight to keep these facts coming out so that the story doesn't die i think the turkish government is so infuriated that it was so disrespected to have this sort of action happen on its on its own soil governments around the world are not satisfied with saudi arabia's explanation that at least the bin i have to ask tonight enough i'm talking about saudi arabia those terrible events which still haven't been cleared up yet and maybe of course demand an explanation and close ally britain says it's considering what next steps to take the president of the european parliament has called for an urgent investigation to clarify the

circumstances surrounding because soldier's death such point minister mark root has echoed those sentiments saying many questions still unanswered those questions center around evidence the turkish government has leaked so far the fifteen men that include several of crown prince muhammad bin solomon's personal detail members of saudi arabia's special forces unit and one of the kingdom's seno autopsy experts the turkey says flew to istanbul with a second when he disappeared c.c.t.v. footage clearly shows a mayhem trip the man who it's reported led the operation to kill khashoggi entering the consulates all night day a couple of hours before the saudi journalist went inside. well trip was filmed leaving the country with other members of the team later in the day friends and colleagues of the murdered journalist on saturday gathered outside the consulate denouncing the saudi narrative as lies and demanding justice because she didn't do

a good. job of teaching others today we are quoting the whole world and we want justice for time all we want to miles made that is to get punished however we want punishment not only for the eighteen men but also for the authority that gave the order this is the judge that london almost any. on saturday more footage was leaked this time of the saudi journalist with his fiance entering their new apartment in istanbul which they had bought just weeks before he disappeared you know the leaks turkish officials also claim that he was never interrogated but he was beaten and killed within minutes by a group that was flown in specifically for that purpose. it seems that turkey believes this was a premeditated operation to kill him. saudi arabia story of how crucial she died was followed by royal decrees that source some intelligence officials and of bodies

or to the crown prince relieved of their posts but in an absolute monarchy many wonder how such an operation could have taken place without the direct order or at least consent and knowledge of de facto ruler crown prince muhammad bin salma the saudis have released their version of what they say happened in this building but it's a narrative that very few people or indeed world leaders believe turkey says saudi arabia had no choice but to admit that he died in the consulate because of evidence that turkey says it has obtained ankara says it will not allow a saudi arabian cover up and the investigation continues the question is what's more evidence the turkish investigators have it's all stuff that al-jazeera istanbul. live under simmons's also in istanbul for us and what's the latest on the

investigation. it will but in its own time the ruling party has made it quite clear that he does not intend to get involved in any cover up whatsoever but in terms of timing and details of when they will release the details of their finding they're taking their time and they are going to be completely a completely across international law every step of the way there's been a lot of detail a lot of effort put in to getting things completely right it is complex because the building behind me that consulate is saudi terra tree vienna convention has a set of rules on all diplomatic immunity all sorts of areas that are being looked at more by riyadh istanbul it has to be said.
