he is defending that decision in fact saying that the united states believes saudi arabia is an important ally when it comes to combating terror financing and that is why he is making the trip but i can tell you that is not being received not only very well by the u.s. congress but by ordinary americans and particularly since we have a congressional vote coming up in just a matter of weeks this is certainly not going to be well received and could be risky for donald trump at the ballot box thank you well that website for saudi arabia has future investment summit as kimberly was just saying dubbed the davos in the desert has gone down it had earlier been hacked with messages calling out the kingdom over the case and accusing the saudis of sponsoring terrorism so two main narratives appear to be emerging on killing one from turkey's investigation to the other is the changing saudi explanation turkish investigators say they have evidence the journalist was violently killed in the saudi consulates almost three

3:02 am
what's being called as the davos in the desert which begins tomorrow in fact many people saying the handling of saudi arabia off the. case has been nothing short of a p.r. disaster what is your take on this and how has all of this affected saudi arabia's image on the international scale it's obvious that what happens to modify ship she has a severe impact on some of them so that i mean the darkness of the. evidence of that they have to change they have to invite they now speak about inviting leaders of from world from asia from africa to attend i think the foreign minister of so they have been now in indonesia a trying to convince the nations of the nation that they are sending very clear message that they need information about what happened it seems that this visit in the context of inviting the president to attend this conference so there is the
3:03 am
implication on saudi arabia and think this is just the start i mean if you look at the auction from europe if you look at the reaction from the within the united states even of rome japan and even. the countries. look at them seriously as a potential partner in terms of economy economy so now those people are actually washing their hands and say so you are not going to what i mean is economy mr minister is calling on all european nations to take a joint stance on whether to halt arms exports to saudi arabia over the killing of them. is that something is that a call that is going to grow over the next couple of days if you if you know if you remember the order of the stopped any kind of diplomatic or political visits to be of the four countries u.k. france germany. i think also the fourth can see the actually the no visits to saudi arabia. review very clear information both of the democrats will do then put the implication the ramification already has started to appear actually on

details. so 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 donald trump tweeted. us 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 the three countries received a combined sum of more than five hundred million dollars in funding from the u.s. in the fiscal year of twenty seventeen trump is accusing them of failing to prevent what he's describing as a u.s. national emergency around three thousand migrants arrived in mexico southern state of chop on sunday. after leaving honduras a week ago they're fleeing poverty and the extreme gang violence town hall and
3:06 am
reports from mexico. at least five thousand people in this caravan that's come mainly from honduras just cutting their breath really they spent the night in tapachula they had a marathon long will on sunday we're talking about not just men but also women and children there are many families here and they're going to then start another marathon to get to than the next town and that's only going to take them a fraction of the way into mexico now president trump has been talking about this caravan it's been a big issue for him ahead of the midterm elections and he said that some of these people are criminals but some of them from the middle east we've been here since friday we haven't seen anyone from the middle east and we haven't have proof that anyone here is a criminal president trump hasn't produced any proof of that either but that sort
3:07 am
of message from president trump has put immense pressure on the mexican authorities to try and stop the movement of these people so far federal police have lined a couple of times across the motorway as if they were going to stop their progress and then they've moved aside what the government is trying to do is get as many people as possible in the system to get asylum here in this country but the way that they've been doing that is by offering them shelter a shower and a bed but then people have found that they haven't been able to get out of where they've been offered shelter and as a result a lot of people have been sleeping here in the town square before they move on so this is still early days for this caravan of people and their moral we're hearing that are coming through guatemala at least a thousand people looking possibly to join up with them as they try and get the north on britain's prime minister to resume a has told parliament about bricks at negotiations. ninety five percent complete but one of the biggest sticking points is how to keep the irish border open after
3:08 am
the u.k. leaves the e.u. in march both sides want to avoid customs on border checks between ireland and e.u. member and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. but they can't agree on how to do that it's trying to break the impasse prime minister may has indicated she could accept a longer post-divorce transition period but that's infuriated her progress colleagues who fear being tied to the e.u. for years to come some are been preparing a new bid to topple the prime minister. the backseat talks are not about my interests they are about the national interest and the interests of the whole of the united kingdom. serving serving our national interest will demand that we hold our nerves through these last stages of the negotiations the hardest part of all it will mean not giving in to those who want to stop bricks it with the politicians vote politicians telling the people they got it wrong the first time and should try
3:09 am
again. and i and it will mean focusing and it will mean focusing on the price that lies before us now the baba reports from london or the pressure really is mounting on prime minister to resign may she may be telling the commons of the withdrawal agreement is ninety five percent done but she did admit that there was still a huge challenge to try to find the solution to the irish border issues and there has been talk in the last few days that she's be negotiating behind the scenes with her european counterparts and entertaining the idea of extending what she calls the implementation period which some people call a transition period after march of next year until the end of twenty twenty year time in which the british government hopes that a trade agreement can be struck with the european union recently has suggested that
3:10 am
that would be a way of getting an agreement which would avoid the so-called backstop for the irish border having to be brought in as a backstop in theory according to how the european union sees it would actually create a customs border between northern ireland and the rest of united kingdom something that theresa may says just isn't acceptable and something that is extremely worrying for many of her own party. and has been out like outright rejected by her unionist allies in northern ireland the dui in the d.c.u. people are actually planning to join efforts this week by some brick city or members of parliament to make it illegal in effect for there to be barriers between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. and that really could scupper the idea of a deal a toll which would lead us looking at a no deal breaks it's something that some people are calling the doomsday scenario

the heart of the conflict there that's a very difficult question to answer your reports what about the this ugandan rebel group that indeed is present but there are many other groups that we have found to be able in the violence including the congolese army forces it's so and so this is a very. complex dynamic that's been going on since two thousand and fourteen at least around any so it's very difficult first of all even so it should be you who choose the people around the little ones who know why they're doing it so as you are saying with several armed groups that are there in beni that are active in the northeast to to what extent does that really complicate the situation. it's an extremely complicated situation i think probably the most complicated or it was the two ation is the lack of political will but the congolese government itself as manifest it's a brain into this problem its troops on the ground are exposed to extremely
3:28 am
