a positive. outcome from the summit last week and she says that ninety five percent she says of the withdrawal agreement and its protocols are now subtle she's talking about the deal that the u.k. must strike with the youth to avoid crushing out by the end of next march but she says the one real sticking point left a considerable one is how we guarantee in the unlikely event our future relationship is not in place by the end of the implementation period that's the transition so-called ending in twenty twenty but there is no return to a hard ball the border between northern ireland and ireland will she's having to to basically defend herself against accusations from some of her own party that she is entertaining the idea of extending that transition period so that they can get a free trade agreement with the you to avoid what they call the irish back stop having to come into play the security policy that brussels has taken out and which
1:08 am
could involve. a border down the irish sea between the customs border but between northern ireland parts of the u.k. . and the rest of the united kingdom has led to a lot of angry language over the weekend she says that she is confident of striking a deal that the whole of the commons can get behind but it's far from clear. prime minister's position again. sorry could you just repeat the question but my question is about the prime minister's position herself how precarious is it. well it seems to be getting ever more precarious we're hearing that centrist. members of her m.p.'s from her conservative party and now joining dozens of others
1:09 am
who have sent letters to the party chair asking to for them to basically trigger a leadership contest we also know that it's going to be extremely tricky if she does actually come back eventually with a deal to get it through the labor party the main opposition party have got their own tests that it would have to pass we don't know exactly what would happen in the event the that it doesn't doesn't meet those tests in the immediate future she's going to be meeting her cabinet tomorrow and possibly backbenches on wednesday. we've had challenges we've heard rumors of challenges before and they've gone nowhere but the clock really is taking a many people say that the this is just to add pressure on her nor to give in to brussels in terms of the transition period where the empress gets solved beyond that in terms of getting
1:10 am
a deal through parliament is anybody's anybody's. to to answer right now right now the baba thank you for the european union as urging the u.s. and russia not to scrap a cold war era treaty which bans sort and medium range nuclear missiles the german government says donald transplantable out of the iron after three d. is regrettable the u.s. president accuses russia of violating a deal signed in one thousand eighty seven the kremlin says u.s. withdrawal will make the world a more dangerous place. well the u.s. president is threatening to withhold financial aid to central american countries over their failure to stop a large group of migrants making their way towards the u.s. border so i will trump tweeted guatemala honduras and el salvador were not able to do the job of stopping people from leaving their country and coming illegally to the u.s. we will now begin cutting off or substantially reducing the massive foreign aid routinely given to them now the three countries received more than five hundred

1:13 am
funeral procession became a protest march mourners confronting congolese troops who day say have used again failed to protect them they believe rebels from the ugandan elijah democratic forces are responsible it's a safe guess idea if rebels have killed more than seven hundred people in the last four years. the i.d.f. was formed in neighboring uganda back in the nine hundred ninety s. moving to the democratic republic of congo after failing to tune uganda into an islamic state in ghana says they're aligned with somalia's fighters. and binny is vulnerable to another killer at least one hundred eighteen people are dead from an a bola outbreak but the world health organization has suspended operations due to the violence. people in the northeast say president joseph kabila has abandoned them. by how many terms did in the home as soon as it is time for us to take charge of
1:14 am
security if you're here now believe the president's promises that the killings only made him the hardened al jazeera. earlier we spoke to tara he also referred to as with the world health organization in geneva he says the security situation in beni is causing great danger to the spreading of the ebola virus in the region. this is how people who should be in treatment center do not come forward this is how we cannot vaccinate all those who are eligible for vaccination and that obviously it will create situation where we'll not be able to tackle the bowler we understand we while talking with the population and danny that everyone is concerned about ebola but again the population feels that the authorities including international component is failing to provide them with the security and therefore mistrust
1:15 am
against ebola responders may come as well and we have seen occasionally that the community would not accept interventions from from our teams and again we hope that situation will improve so we can go directly into community and do all these things we need to do because there is no really a magic bullet against the boy it's a it's a it's really hard work and it will take weeks and months before we are able really to to to to contained the outbreak this is not unfortunately helpful what happened in past couple of days we failed to listen and we failed to provide justice those were some of the words delivered by australia's prime minister as he gave a national apology to survivors of child sexual abuse scott morrison emotional speech follows a five year inquiry which lifted the lid on decades of horrific crimes in churches schools and other institutions and thomas reports from camera. for most of
1:16 am
the apology is decades old which is a five year inquiry which ended last year heard from thousands of victims who asked children suffered sexual abuse by people they were supposed to trust priests in churches teaches in schools care is often it is coaches in sports clubs the stories of what they inflicted are appalling to die a strong leader. confronts a trauma and abomination hiding in plain sight for far too long it was so many survivors as most prefer to be called that a ballot was held to get into parliament to hear the apology others watched outside well then ian demarco fought off a catholic teacher who tried to abuse him and he saw the teacher abuse others demarco was selected to hear the apology in parliament but last week he was wary of what we said yeah i would like to hear what i have to say. and what they
1:17 am
plan to do is ensure that it doesn't repeat itself. after hearing the apology demarco approved of the tone and nature just fantastic. this isn't the end this is the beginning this is the beginning of a new era hopefully where people in prison so authority. slice the interests of the children for their own personal religious interest during his two speeches and meeting people on the lawns outside parliament scott morrison was at times heckled some feel he's a hypocrite but what his government is currently doing to refugee children held in the prison knowledge of nuru is a new form of child abuse others feel this apology is too little too late hundreds of people were here in person to hear the apology but thousands were not many don't wait before they got the chance to hear an apology to them by an australian prime
1:18 am
minister a chair was left empty at the front of the hall to symbolize them and many others boycotted the apology altogether some feel angry that institutions such as the catholic church continue to receive hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers' money to run schools and that compensation schemes don't go far enough so many people lost their lives in committed suicide what are we doing for their families. sorry only goes so far after thomas al-jazeera camera. hello again the headlines on al-jazeera turkey's rolling out party says it has a responsibility to reveal the truth about what it calls this savagely planned murder of journalism at hofstra the sea and saudi arabia's consulate in istanbul turkey government has also rejected allegations that they were negotiating with the kingdom about its investigation and the search for

1:20 am
on and and for the e.u. is off you two relationship is agreed and in place by the first of january twenty twenty one the u.s. president is threatening to withhold financial aid to central american countries over their failure to stop a large group of migrants making their way towards the u.s. border trump is accusing them of failing to prevent what he's describing is a u.s. national emergency around three thousand migrants arrived in mexico's southern state of chop us on sunday after leaving honduras a week ago cameroon's paul b. a has become one of africa's oldest leaders after winning a seventh term bia won seventy one percent of the vote despite a low turnout and election violence eighty five b.n. has been in power since cameroon gained independence from france in one nine hundred eighty two the opposition are calling on its supporters to rally against a legit vote rigging and fraud despite a ban on any protests last week cameron's constitutional council rejected
1:21 am
opposition calls for a rerun those are the headlines counting the costs is up next right here on al-jazeera. hello i'm sam is a band this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business and economics this week investors publicly distanced themselves from saudi arabia after the disappearance of a journalist sparks an international outcry we examine what that means for the kingdom's economic ambitions. also this week the future of food with new technology
1:22 am
trying to shape agriculture. plus sunshine and soup to museums tourism industry is back in business. the alleged killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the country's consulate in istanbul as shocked the world saudi arabia is under intense pressure to explain what happened the world's largest oil exporter could face international sanctions the cost of insuring against saudi default has increased thirty two percent that means investors view the country as a much riskier bet now the government may now be forced to raise more debt at a higher cost it's already running a budget deficit the saudi government is trying to court investment for new cities and projects big names in business and finance ministers including u.s. treasury secretary steven the new can are boycotting
1:23 am
a key investment events the conference is scheduled to run from october the twenty third to the twenty fifth right matheson reports. only last week christine lagarde the head of the international monetary fund said she was still going to saudi arabia even though she was horrified at the disappearance of jamal khashoggi now her office says her trip is being deferred jamie dimon the c.e.o. of j.p. morgan chase has also pulled out it's had eighty five years of business in saudi arabia and began by helping us oil firms start up there stephen schwartz one chief executive of blackstone isn't going either he said to have been one of the first western finance is to actively court crown prince mohammed bin salman bill ford of the ford motor company has pulled out two he's blaming a conflict ford was hoping to boost sales after saudi arabian women were allowed to drive. media companies including c n.b.c. financial times c.n.n.
1:24 am
and the new york times have also withdrawn so have some banks including h.s.b.c. b.n.p. and so cities in iraq some countries have said they won't be sending trade delegations but it's important to remember this just because key individuals might not be going that doesn't guarantee their organizations or their countries won't be represented u.s. treasury secretary steven minocin and the multinational conglomerate softbank chose to wait before making a decision this conference was a chance for the saudis to resuscitate the business confidence which has been slacking off in certain sectors for months some investors may know need a lot of persuading we're joining me here in doha is not all long bear the hall is a senior policy analyst at the carter university's social and economic survey research institute good to have you with us so i guess the reason why the saudi economy's risk profile is rising is
1:25 am
a kind of underlying fear is that it might be about to be hit by sanctions or some kind of punitive measures how likely is that scenario to you only time would tell if there are sanctions if there are sanctions that would be terrible for the plans of the young crown prince now whether sanctions are imposed or not in a sense has the damage already been done to investor confidence in saudi arabia to a great deal to a great deal because this is not just the first case of that can disrupt the confidence that investors had towards holy arabia in saudi arabia a year ago a number of prominent businessman in a row the saudi royal family members where arrested in a corruption crackdown the problem is that there was little transparency no real trials and at the end of the day people believe this was a form of extortion so how people could believe in. judicial system of saudi arabia
1:26 am
that's also a concern for investors and then there were spats with germany at a low profile higher profile as pathways canada or the human rights and now there is this latest news which doesn't bode well for your investments how justified then are fears that the oil market might be dragged into this given were you saying well you know the oil market is always a market which is very reactive to news for good or worse generally for worse there are speculators especially very active on the oil markets and generally when the bad news happen geopolitical news for instance it does affect negative lidiane market meaning the oil price increases. this is something the trumpet ministration doesn't want to see coming they have been very adamant very very insistent insisting very strongly towards the saudis and other oil producers that they want to have more production to cool down the prices but the contrary might happen if
1:27 am
sanctions where imports analysts have interpreted some of the saudi measures as an indication that they are willing to use the oil card should things get messy shall we say in economic ties or sanctions how realistic do you think that card could really be used by riyadh well we need to distinguish to things. the willingness to express to show we are strong to assure that we can retaliate if we are meaning the saudis are to receive sanctions so that they are very clear about that they want to show that they are not a small country that can be bullied but the same time they don't want to disrupt any global economy because it would backfire backfire on them to exactly they're completely depending for their oil exports which is their key source of. a lot of answers do you think there is a fair share of bluff but you know this is diplomacy so some investors have already
1:28 am
pulled out so what about the saudi investment conference the so-called davus of the desert to what extent is that being impacted by the fair well we have seen a number of people who had to calm who counseled in in a very in a series of people consoling their coming so this made the news and this is not good for business of course a descent time the conference has its own domestic and regional audience so it was not completely depending on these essentially western invest toss but it's a setback for the saudi economy definitely when it translates into actual a drying up of deal making a slowing down. of f.b.i. acceleration into saudi arabia or will business just go on as normal well but that's the problem business as normal is the problem to saudi crown prince wanted to show he could boost the saudi economy that it could go beyond oil real estate
1:29 am
and big infrastructure construction that it could trigger invest or to kick start a knowledge economy to kick start an industry of robots especially to build heats touristic c.t. but all that seems enjoy your party because these needs fresh capital not just recycling the oil rent but having investors from abroad from the west from china and japan coming this is less promising her also given what you're saying where does that leave vision twenty thirty then well might happen in twenty fifty. more seriously i think that for now the momentum is not there so they are very unlikely to have the kind of diversification the wait is now they are very unlikely to have the kind of diversification they aspired to where they have to raise more debt then to fund some of these twenty thirty projects that could be a solution where will that leave the deficit budget deficit well that's the main
1:30 am
concern because especially this year they have a significant budget deficit already saw this would not be a good sign also for investors because that threatens the currency and sort. people for now don't know if the macro economic indicators of saudi arabia will stay stable enough so many investors are waiting and seeing and for now the diversification strategy is not on track. a lot of tech companies are funded by saudi money and there is that going to continue after this or the saudi money becomes something sort of suspect now well there are two things there is investments from technology company is into saudi arabia that's what is frozen but money coming from saudi arabia will always be well run like santa on the market yes saw can barely be you know in eastern asia else or where there are some companies that are receiving a lot of investment this will keep on going but the concern again is there
1:31 am
diversification is not happening and has the do you think pushed the aramco only around colistin even further back into the horizon i don't think we can link the two things to saudi aramco i peel was already styled for a number of reasons some are technical some are more political or technical reasons well there is no transparency as to the oil reserves of saudi arabia therefore long exaggerated how much oil there is in their reserves and now to disclose it to disclose the real reserves because for an i.p.o. you need transparency this is a main problem and on the political side making transparency giving more transparency on how the money from the oil is spent that's a major issue or a norm thanks so much for talking to us thank you sam. some of the stories on our radar this week china could be facing a debt iceberg that's according to s. and p. global the ratings agency is highlighting what it called titanic credit risks
1:32 am
because of under reported local government debt meanwhile the world's number two economy reported its slowest quarterly growth rate since the global financial crisis bragg's it time out european union leaders have given themselves several more weeks to reach a break up deal with the u.k. talks this week failed to deliver a hoped for breakthrough plus better than expected earnings at netflix helped its shares higher this week the streaming video service added seven million new customers in the three months to september one hundred thirty seven million people globally now use netflix. still to come on counting the cost on a high caliber becomes the world's largest legal marijuana marketplace. but first is enjoying a tourism revival the industry had gone into decline following a series of attacks by armed groups on visitors in two thousand and fifteen well
1:33 am
how much has the story. tunisia's tourism industry taken off the sandy beaches of the northeast are again so. general manager of siebel who tell all four hundred eighty beds are fully booked even though the hot season has ended a little come to. 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 two thousand and eleven for the uprising like toppled former president. that triggered a series of popular revolt in the region known as the arab spring.
