to to take responsibility to hold accountable those who carried out this terrible murder which it's clear the saudis are prepared to do that they've identified there's been eighteen people identified but certainly one of them is not the crown prince mohammed bin some months. the question of how this decision was made to carry out this murder remains unclear and there certainly is no pressure coming from the united states none coming from the white house certainly none coming from prince muhammad's best friend forever jared question or two to investigate in the in the serious way who actually gave the orders to kill jamal khashoggi so what we're seeing are efforts to make it look like the u.s. is pushing for greater accountability that's important because before this we didn't have even that but until there starts to be serious pressure which would look like an absolute end to arms sales to saudi arabia and end to the participation of u.s.

forces in the targeting process a real end to what we've now heard might happen which is the end of u.s. involvement in the in air refueling we want to see that actually happen be able to document that when all of those things go forward then i think we can start talking about the u.s. being serious about wanting an end to the war in yemen until then we're hearing a lot more concerned about public relations than we are about humanity all right thank you phyllis bennis joining staff from washington thank you. so i have for you on this news hour from london in the democratic republic of congo health officials a warning country is facing its worst outbreak in recorded history florida back at the center of election controversy with recounts ordered in the senate and governor races and in sport why the world's best tennis players are taking the choose across london.

they came to remember fallen soldiers from a century ago leaders from seventy countries have gathered in the french capital paris to mark the hundredth anniversary of the end of world war one but for the american and french leaders it was also a chance to smooth over there that over defense diplomatic editor james bass reports from paris. at the elisei palace they were in damage limitation mode just as he touched down in air force one president trumpet tweeted the president back rolls calls for a european army were very insulting as they met face to face the french president seemed keen to stress they were still on the same track france has for decades backed further integrating the e.u.'s military resources but in a way that doesn't harm later i do believe that my proposal for european defense

after the consistent with that goal it means more your role is in that you need to walk f.s.b. you know the fall of the earth. would you say in general. my attitude and we want to stay it's very important to see. each other where we can do it the best most efficient would be so it was a war. plans for a formal meeting between president trump and president putin were dropped because the elysee palace doesn't want politics to overshadow a weekend of solemn commemoration but with president trump in town there's always controversy president trump who tweeted throughout his flight late into the night and again well before dawn at the last minute canceled a trip to a cemetery where more than two thousand u.s. marines a barrett the white house blamed logistics and the weather it has been drizzling a little here. the weather didn't stop other leaders justin trudeau the canadian

prime minister did visit a cemetery in northern france and president mark roth joins the german chancellor angela merkel signing a note to remember it's in the same railway carriage north of paris where the armistice was agreed one hundred years ago ending a four year war cost as many as nineteen million words james zero powers. than two million people died fighting for a jam an empire in the first wild or germany will be one of the few year paying countries not holding remembrance ceremonies of that war dead for many the conflict is overshadowed by the trauma and atrocities of world war two dominic kaye reports from munich. for generations of people poppies in november have represented commemoration marking the millions of allied fallen from world war one but for a century the poppy has not been part of the german psyche now one artist wants to

change that fine it is the other due to him boy so internazionale my idea is to internationalize the symbol red poppies were the first thing to grow on the graves of fallen soldiers as they are known as pioneer which grow back very quickly on churn to perth but they didn't just crawling it was graves all of that. for many people it's images of trench warfare they think of when they reflect on the first world war yet this is just one side of a conflict which touched people across the globe it was the first time submarines were used in quantity giving the world the terms u. boat and unrestricted submarine warfare a concept which would sink nearly five thousand ships and kill more than fifteen thousand sailors commemorating its war there is something that democratic germany does in a songbird and more than two million people died fighting for imperial germany in

the first world war and the aftereffects of that conflict helped shape the form germany would take over the course of the twentieth century. but many people believe it was germany's role in world war two which defines the way it remembers its fall and that the evil of national socialism was so all encompassing that few people consider the casualties of the first war now some historians say such a view overlooks the fact that defeat in november one thousand nine hundred eighteen was when human rights movements took hold in germany. have not made sense of that moment and have not really a claim but also as maybe a positive moment and you start. for the republican for democracy in germany. in modern times it's not in berlin that political leaders commemorate the dead of

world one but in the capitals of the countries that fought and eventually defeated the german empire so will it be on this in tina very dominant cane zira munich watertown to paris now where we are hearing the president of turkey and the united states have met and spoken to is there what are you hearing hashem. well money and the official dinner is about can see the republican guard behind me lining up a sign that the world leaders are about to come out of the building yes there was the two leaders tromp and the gun spoke for a moment on the sidelines of the you know we don't know exactly what were the main issues the spoke about and whether that would be basically followed by another meeting to morrow however this was quite an interesting moment particularly when the president of the before stepping on to the flight to paris spoke about sharing

some crucial information about the nerd. this is a moment where you would think world leaders would come together talk about global geopolitical issues when suddenly the issues of alhazred she was raised in a meeting between president of trump and human well by crown they said that they were concerned saudi arabia could or the raise you could face further destabilization but they said sound arabia has to share some crucial information with the international community and say what exactly happened and i think this explains why don was really hoping to be able to meet with trump talk to him about that case in particular and knowing that his ultimate goal is basically to try to rally international support for that case turkey believes that the saudis over the last few weeks have been just trying to stall the investigation now with sharing those crucial recordings with the international players particularly their key allies they hoping to get those come together and the uk saudi arabia to be

forthcoming particular when it comes to who gave the order to kill. thank you very much for the latest from paris hash thank you hashem. well now at least eleven people have been killed and thousands left homeless as two wildfires continue to burn out of control in the u.s. state of california one of the fires is in the north where twenty seven thousand homes were evacuated in the south all residents of the beach city of malibu have been ordered to leave their homes a state of emergency has also been declared rob reynolds is live for us now in the malibu and rob how would you describe conditions there. well this is the aftermath of a really really serious fire storm. you can see this landscape here has just been completely blasted it looks kind of like no man's land from the reports you were doing earlier on the first world war it's just. ash

and last night it was embers and flames that were topping the top of the ridge here and i want to bring in our guest can heller a man who had a very close call last night can you live in that house right behind us here that driveway what happened last night well we watched the flames crest that ridge and come down an explosive fashion with embers flying in and and the wind just howling could you feel the heat you could feel the heat and feel the embers and so what happened next how did you save the house but we had been doing some prepared torrie . work in terms of hosing down the the garden areas in the trees and trying to keep it much water on the property you possibly could and at that point the embers were were extraordinary strong and and i flagged down the fire department and the fire

trucks and and asked them to help us help us secure the property and save the state the home and what did what were they able to do they're wonderful they were able to bring into strike teams and they lined the our property up on my driveway and they phone down the the landscape in the trees and save the house well that's wonderful but i have to ask i mean authorities told everybody that they had to leave you decided to stay i understand your family was evacuated but do you regret at all not not heeding the mandatory evacuation no i didn't regret it i have this my fourth fire and we're well prepared i have fire suits we have fire hoses. we came prepared you said it's your fourth fire so it's want to ask finally for a person who lives here in this part of the world in california where there are mudslides there are quakes and there are fires as we very well know is this disaster preparedness just part of life i think it is you know between the

earthquakes as you mentioned and the fires this is now a who we are struggling with a several year drought extraordinarily dry yes we've we've come to expect these things from time to time but still a good place to live though ok all right thank you very much ken so that was ken heller who had who is a very lucky man and had a very close call on saturday night now unfortunately there are other people who are not so lucky and the latest count as far as we know at this moment from authorities is that nine people lost their lives in a fire in northern california that's separate from this near the town of paradise paradise population twenty seven thousand was pretty much obliterated by the fire most people got out but some people unfortunately were caught in traffic driving trying to get out or they went the wrong way so they died in their cars many of them and that was of course extremely unfortunate but here the.

wind has died down which is a very good thing and firefighters are hoping they can get a handle on some of these fires the winds going to start again tomorrow so they're going to have to move quickly mara and funny things look at. the people living there and elsewhere in the state thank you very much rob reynolds and i no longer able to hear you. sudden rain across the arabian flash flooding in after a trail of death and destruction in its wake jordan was worst hit with twelve people died and thousands of tourists then evacuated from the ancient city of petra paul brennan reports the deluge came barreling down the valley with a thunderous roar sweeping away everything in its path. visitors expecting the serenity of petra's two thousand year old architecture had to scramble frantically to higher ground as the water raged beneath them around three and

a half thousand tourists were in the area at the time but none were injured police were running around the main street shouting up up up going go up go up go up we were in the. temple so we were up we could see the river was it was right. before taking with the biggest. thing three minutes or four minutes the main role were for all the overall petra's flood channels worked as intended the volume and intensity of a torrent four meters high test of the flood barriers to their limits numerous other areas were similarly affected the city of declared a state of civil emergency and across the country the fatalities included two children and one of the divers in gauged in the rescue efforts. as

a searching incoming operations by the jordanian search and rescue teams and divers teams are still continuing backed by around forces john darm or public security personnel unfortunately the death figures have risen and include one of the civil defense divers in saudi arabia to friday's sudden downpours quickly filled traffic underpasses with water hundreds of motorists face being stranded by the rising floods. it's only a fortnight since a flashflood near the jordanian dead sea killed twenty one people including thirteen children who were on a school trip when the bus was swept away that tragedy led to the resignations of both the education minister and the tourism minister over perceived failings in the government's response the jordanian response in the aftermath of this latest deluge has been an extensive search and rescue efforts but the receding water has left the affected areas in jordan need deep in mud and sludge making the search efforts

doubly difficult paul brennan al-jazeera. still ahead for you on this news hour after a brief rest the so-called caravan of migrant slaves in mexico city for the u.s. border getting a free ride on the metro. party accuses the president of being a tyrant. and calls an early election and in sport membrane the man by one of the greatest shot triumphs in the history of football. hello the pattern remains the same weather wise in that much of central eastern europe is largely cloud free and relatively won't time the year or the clouds rolling through from the atlantic into the west it's usually quite active wet in windy weather that will be the case on sunday to reading likely in london over

flanders field which is belgium and that lot of green extends down through the bay of biscay to northwestern spain and portugal it's slowing moving here will be a lot of rain in that part of the world i suspect him but i get to monday the thing hasn't moved on very much as you can see but all this time we're still relatively quiet from austria southwards towards to he was temperatures in the middle teens now the middle training has been fairly showery in the east recently and is still a chance of showers around crete possibly cyprus but the obvious wrap around here is the circulation is over libya and tripoli looks like being a wet place and actually in contrast is warm and sunny analogy isn't robert and further south in both morocco and algeria not it will last forever once again the rain swings in from the atlantic to the moroccan coast and we still have a tripoli and the western side of egypt just about but then it's fairly dry all the way down through north africa one to showers in liberia and sierra leone otherwise

nothing much. i think this is fun for me to think i'm having fun. if she. isn't her controversies hunters and beaches. just as it is time to. thank. the racing to someone not just looking.

welcome back critical top stories a turkish president you're type one says they shared already a recording is related to the murder of jamal khashoggi with saudi arabia the united states person france and germany meanwhile yemeni military officials say pro-government forces of seized the main hospital in the key port city of data where they stepped up their offensive on the french and u.s. presence of smoothed over ace add on defense as they met in paris with their

attendant while one commemorations on his way to france donald trump attacked emanuel markdowns call for a european army. you know the stories we're watching the democratic republic of congo says it's facing its worst outbreak in the country's recorded history the government says the virus has killed nearly two hundred people since an outbreak was declared in august on groups battling for control in eastern d.r. see stage regular attacks making it difficult alf officials to help affected communities the health ministry says it's teams are attacked three or four times a week well let's now speak to sebastian spencer from doctors without borders he has just returned to can shots from north kivu where he's been visiting medical workers on the frontline of the fight against the disease sebastian thank you for taking the time to speak to us can you give us a sense of what you witnessed what you sport when what you saw when you were there in north. what what we see. the outbreak is not under

control and it's been. a sort of large number of patients in the town of dany and we are very concerned about another town. where you have a million people and casey's from a baby traveled to the area. and we're now worried that transmission will occur in that town and all actors are united in committee. work harder to prevent that from happening this is already the west outbreak of ebola in the country's recorded history but given what you say about how quickly the disease might spread how much worse could it get. well it is extremely difficult to to give you numbers what we know is that now we have a winter of four to see to bring this epidemic under control and

but the to know what would have to be sperry difficult but we need to do everything we can now to prevent the break from spreading further and infecting more people is that happening what efforts being taken to prevent the spread of the disease what the most important is for people to go to present themselves when they have signs and fever responding to them so that cases can be identified and the treatment then is not delayed for the person and it also prevents transmission so really building trust with the communities the most important and is that happening because presumably many people would be very cautious perhaps even scared to declare that they might have symptoms of ebola for a fair all of being stigmatized. yes that is

a possibility but also all is not known in the area so even for us the health care professional a lot about it below is a load so it is only normal that the people well. they fear the disease they fear its consequences and also they want to stay with their families if they feel very sick well they want to stay with their loved ones they do not want to be isolated in a treatment center that's also the reason why we made the treatment centers as inaccessible to families so that patients that are admitted in still have contact with their families that's extremely important and this will help us to build that necessary trust when people realize that yes we can care for the sick one

and that the families are allowed to visit them and this is happening as we speak we have families that are about to come in and be speaking to the lucky ones although they won't actually come into contact with them of course but we do everything we can to make our our creeping center as human as possible for everybody for the patient for the community and for the families well we best of luck with all of your efforts thank you very much for speaking to sebastian spencer from doctors without borders thank you marion. well usa to florida is once again at the center of an election recount battle some eighteen years after the race between george w. bush and al gore descended into chaos a recount has been ordered for two high profile races for governor and for the senate after they were too close to call gabriel and his own never ports from

washington. the midterm elections are over but not in florida the race for governor and senate are still undecided too close to call so winners have not yet been announced in the senate race republican rick scott got fifty percent of the vote bill nelson the democratic incumbent forty nine point nine percent only fourteen thousand votes separate the two candidates out of over eight million cast in the state. now both republicans and democrats are accusing each other of wrongdoing and it's gotten ugly i will not sit idly by while an ethical liberals try to steal this election from the great people florida the governor's race in florida is also headed for a recount with republican congressman ron decentest at forty nine point six percent of the vote compared to endure guillen's forty nine point one about a thirty six thousand vote difference we don't just get the opportunity to stop

accounting votes because we don't like the direction in which the vote tally is heading that is not democratic and that certainly is not the american way and america we count every vote regardless of what the outcome may be broward county is florida's second biggest county home to nearly two million people many provisional ballots were counted late and dozens of rejected ballots mistakenly mixed with knowledge ones for u.s. president donald trump it's a personal he campaigned hard for the republicans in florida and both holding razor thin leads trump insinuated without evidence that democrats are trying to stuff the ballot boxes at all of a sudden they're finding votes you mean after the election they're finding votes nelson rejected trump's claim votes are not being file and they're being counted the confusion has stirred outrage with protesters on both sides gathered outside the offices election officials are meeting to sort through the ballots. this isn't

the first time florida has been at the center of an election controversy who can forget the florida recount between george w. bush and al gore in two thousand presidential race bush ultimately won florida by less than six hundred votes giving him the electoral college victory thus the presidency the florida recount eighteen years ago was ultimately decided here at the supreme court it's unclear foresee a repeat of that what is very certain is that the current recount most likely involve a lot of lawyers lawsuits and drag on for a very long time gabriel's on dough. washington. on mike hanna joins us live now from washington so might once again it's flaw or at the heart of some control to see now that they have decided to have a recount how difficult might this be to resolve well very difficult indeed this is a fairly unprecedented we heard the report that the recount eighteen years ago

which eventually was halted by the supreme court never completed but in this particular case what is happening is that it is a statewide recount for governor or senator for agricultural commissioner this is actually unprecedented in terms of an electoral process so it's an immensely complicated process now every one of the sixty seven counties is going back and checking on the count any a difference between point two five percent would then go to a manual recount so this is an incredibly complex exercise and as remarked there is well creating immense amount of disquiet despondency and in many cases and it and my what about the argument that recounts don't tend to change the course of statewide races how what might we see unfold now in the coming days and weeks. well that's a correct comment that they don't until they do because there is or is the occasion

when the recount does create a complete difference and the margins of difference in the florida certainly in the governor's race and indeed in the senate are so marginal are so small that once again this is unprecedented to have such a narrow margin so there is the possibility the very real possibility that the results could flip from the ones that were originally predicted so this is a absolutely immense situation and this is why president trump is taking such an outrage position on it even before the recount was started president trump was first of all making comments as we heard he's been tweeting on his way for an official visit to france numerous tweets implying some kind of illegal operation going on there now his critics contend that this is in effect a form of voter suppression but what is angering or worrying president trump so

much is how critical florida is the largest state but importantly what it means to the trump presidency to lose florida to lose either the governor or the senate or both would be an immense blow to donald trump standing thank you very much mike hanna will the latest from washington on that story. well now thousands of central american migrants have left the stadium in mexico city for the longest and most dangerous leg of their trek to the u.s. border president donald trump has signed an order that would deny asylum to any migrants who enter america illegally it's also deployed thousands of american soldiers to the border alessandra yet he reports. it was still dark as the caravan of central americans left their shelter in mexico city. thank you thank you for everything they repeated as they pressed on towards their all to meet goal the southern border of the united states local authorities allowed them to travel for

free on dedicated metro trains to cross the city where the. almost four thousand migrants left early on saturday following the roughly nine hundred were back on the road a day earlier many were holding children on their shoulders and in strollers as they began the longest and most dangerous leg of their journey. we feel a strong following we are used to the routine by the big up trucks and walking many hours for many the stop in mexico city was their first real opportunity to rest after several weeks on the road and it's difficult to start walking again out of his van here. thanks very tiring but i believe that we will be rewarded in the end but it's unlikely they'll be allowed into the us the caravan has drawn the ire of president donald trump on friday he signed an executive order to reject asylum

claims from people crossing illegally into the country a policy critics say it's international law. thousands of u.s. soldiers have been the ploy to the border to stop illegal entries and we don't discriminate anybody that jumps the border fence that crosses between the ports of entry will be arrested and they will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law that includes this group yet the caravan presses on holding blankets sleeping bags and warm clothes donated to them in mexico to protect against the colder temperatures in the north. twenty eight hundred kilometers divides them from the border town of. it's a longer route to the u.s. but one that avoids the most dangerous areas rife with gangs and drug traffickers and what will happen when they finally reach the border remains unclear here i'll just see them. of thousands of people have been protesting in the italian capital rome against racism and the government's stance on immigration that angry over

a new order which could result in the tightening of immigration regulations and limits the right to asylum one of the protesters was dominican economy of the southern town of reaction who was suspended as a result of his policy of welcoming refugees. right here but. i'm here because i am part of these people who follow a dream of humanity to protest against the hatred the fascists in the racist drift it's emerging not only in italy but also in europe because of my present situation not of my city which has shown that a different type of reception of migrants respect for human rights and human dignity possible. was a nice from sri lanka where the largest party says it will mount a legal fight against a president shot decision to dismiss the parliament and.
