seeing kind of competing narratives. in paris of the moment between the the world view very much a world view of president and german chancellor angela merkel and the kind of more nationalist type of policy of people like president america first. how is this playing out of the moment and who is if i could put it this way who is winning i'm sorry i'm afraid you have to repeat once again york your question still do you think the noice yes what i what i was asking is how how how does the president america first policy conflict with what the president is is saying and is is the french president's message getting through. well when it comes to. prison the strength america first the idea that

the kind of human terrorism it promotes is in fact not exactly new in american foreign policy you can realize that it existed in the twenty's it existed the beginning off. of presidents reagan mandate for instance what disappointing is the vehemence of. intervention and its policy especially if you compare to the former unit terrorism policies. after the first world war when the united said decided to not ratified the league of nations not to join the league of nations it never prevented them from playing an important wall for the peace promotion organizing conference of peace peace talks and does all the months in washington d.c. in nineteen twenty two as well out there clearly intervene in order to support the process of peace in western europe especially for the economic support to germany with the ben and the young planning nine hundred twenty nine so despite this debt talks and despite their will to be to be

a uniter at least they were active and in fact they were supportive of the international system what is surprising with prison if that is simply to talk more to the american population than to anybody else and it doesn't seem to be concerned or involved in any aspect of the international system it be if it doesn't behave on the united unit or lead in the selfish way that's exactly what you dolls widely denounced the nuclear agreement for mercury months in europe what it does regarding iran and the kind of policies of course it's totally opposed to what the french and the europeans of the wall want to prove one to promote could this be like maybe one of the reason he doesn't want to join the conference tomorrow good to speak of the nicholas for joining us there from powers. are plenty more ahead on this news hour packing up and going home the latest in the push for peace on the korean peninsula

. but we do have to remember we are going to be. a warning for people in california braving one of the state's worst wildfires. later in sport bad weather threatens to further delay the final of south america's biggest club football competition. so let's they have a first at least sixty one people have been killed as there's been more fighting in the yemeni port city of data it's between forces bank by the saudi and iraqi coalition and hooty rebels aid groups say the crisis is getting worse as many caught in the conflict lack access to basic medical care forces trying to close in on the held areas in the east of the city there were reports the information minister defected and a small refuge in riyadh mohammed atta is following this story for us from across

the red sea in djibouti so what's the latest first of all on the fighting in her data. well awesome heavy fighting is going on in that is fun parts off the city and residents say it's now taking place on the streets of some of the residential neighborhoods. government a pro-government militia man has been altered by local media us saying that it's raining mortars these jews say that's it to say that the whole the fighters are putting up a stiff resistance knowing how big the stakes are how high the stakes are what is happening also is that the pro-government militias are supported by. helicopters and so to ask that have been hitting four fifths of the sions now the fear mostly of now is for the people who are still holed up in this city people who

could not find ways of escaping from the approaching fighting in the past few days because of the massive roadblocks and the cuts will be something that has been cut out by the rules the fight is of course the stakes are high and i don't want to lose the port of they that it will deny them the port which they were using for we arming themselves and getting much needed supplies of that is exactly what the pro-government militias supported by the sodium but as the coalition want to do to deny the whole thing is the fault of the data so that they can isn't it remove them from other parts of the country as well and the defected minister held a press conference we understand what he say. well absolute knowledge of that. went missing about a week ago from san are you in the information minister of the whole thing government for the past four years something that prompted

a whole the fighters to told me how's he resurfaced in riyadh where he held out a press conference in which he talked about splits within the ranks of the whole season saying that the next few days are going to show that the axe handle all the division within the group and he also talked about them detaining and torturing don't lose them using child soldiers in the early years under their control but before he could finish his reach one of the journalists in attendance and really threw a shoe at him that is something that shows a deep contempt in the arabic culture and you could see it in a video we saw. with the former minister for information of the whole this so that is the media of the who says you can see it right there man throwing the shoe at me all right mohammed are live for us there in age of unity thanks very much why is

the battle for had they done so important well in june and thousands of yemeni pro-government forces backed by saudi and amorality troops began their offensive to retake a day there from the fighters the coastal city is where more than seventy percent of the country's food aid fuel and commercial goods enter the country aid groups say yemen is just three months away from a devastating famine putting thirteen million people at risk as there is more fighting the un has pushed back peace talks which were to begin this month to the end of the year. arsala is a professor at the school of politics and international relations at nottingham university he joins us live now via skype so what do you make of what is happening right now around the port of data first of all what appears to be an increased fighting there is this perhaps an attempt by the saudi led coalition to create

facts on the ground before any peace settlement. well certainly they are very keen to capture the pool as well described already the aim is to complete the final honed on the island ones who were preventing and. already know the siege will the maritime sea to succeed and when any who starts or reasonable amounts on one monetary material supplies or not is the reason why we were duped. into the gentry the americans and so on fourteen million people are likely to be killed one on one so what well we and some to the coalition. is trying to completely profit. in where we started to talk when will the fort city and what we are now for he was five months

on isn't. almost every week or every day innocent civilians children mainly we're going and the elderly we defend themselves are suffering both sides of the tuning was fun but we expense of the lives of hundreds and thousands of innocent people were just some were imposed upon us for this war indeed is a desperate situation for people there and you can't help drawing parallels what's happening there to the situation in syria as well so i have to ask is this i mean people are brought up this issue as to whether starvation is in fact being used as a weapon of war. well i think it is i mean there's absolutely no doubt and it's not just our nation it's all the humanitarian suffering that we forget or just

leave it was almost two years ago the u.n. so the eighty percent of your mil's walk in those shoes and all the monetary assistance for those two years the world is still largely ignore this and will be getting on is certain some phrases of support saying well let's hope there's a peaceful settlement knowing full well that every day on children will die on lots of suffering it is when you think about the me eason of this war it's regime change it is about politics own leadership it isn't about who are your people not of the ordinary people involved in this will want this will now being made to make a better price and people are not concerned about the fact that there is starvation there is suffering because of modern medical supplies and there is

enormous amounts of what is good for most people a lot of damage it isn't something that will be justified on any bond and will the sense of toll on and. i was you've said i think that we solve a shooting and though we have an element of suffering being used as a weapon of war on they sure can. good to speak when you are. joining us there from the team. on. how the white house is saying u.s. president donald trump and turkish president richard type two and have held discussions on how to respond to the killing of journalist. the meeting over dinner on saturday came after revelations that turkey shared all the recordings of last moments with its allies and with leaders in saudi arabia sources say officials who

listened to those recordings were quote horrified by their contents owen had previously said the operation was ordered in riyadh at the highest levels and the u.s. says the shoji killing is an internal matter but along with france one saudi arabia to shed more light on what happened and their warning the case cannot destabilize the middle east we have two correspondents covering all angles of this story for us . is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul but first let's go to barbara who is live in paris for us so. turkey's president wanted that meeting with president trump in paris and he got it it was just another opportunity to put further pressure on saudi arabia. it was indeed has and there was a crucial meeting for president. for two reasons it was the first meeting since the

murder of the saudi journalist on the second of october it was also the first meeting since the following in the relations between the two countries against the backdrop of the strained relations that have been going on between un qatar and washington d.c. over the last few years differences over many regional issues the g.c.c. crisis the new u.s. support for the kurdish militias in syria the future of syria and also how to deal with instability in the region it was a crucial moment for as a player. to talk to the u.s. president about the need to put more international pressure on the saudis because now the biggest concern for the turkish government is basically the u.s. might ultimately use their influence to shield the saudis from further international scrutiny or sanctions but i think that sharing of the recording which

was perhaps the ultimate tool the turkish government is using in this particular case is to direct the whole proceedings into one direction push the saudis to say exactly who gave the order to kill it now what could be next step forward is basically the following we might see some further sanctions targeting the perpetrators of the killings particular from the u.s. the e.u. is saying basically now that they will try to act as a one single voice when it whether it's going to be about severing some of the arms deals with the kingdom or trying to push start the arabia at this particular moment to and the political the conflict in yemen so we're talking here about a wide range of issues that good further redefine saudi arabia's foreign policy against the backdrop of the murder of. has someone brought a life for us in paris thanks hashem. is following the story for us from istanbul

now so jamal what it what implications does this have now for the investigation in turkey we have the turkish president finally sharing these recordings with other world leaders. well has them i mean. large parts of the investigation were concluded almost within the first twenty four hours of the murder that's what's been very clear in the sense that the turkish authorities through the recordings they had through the c.c.t.v. footage of the vehicles used by the consulate as well as obviously the and chanson exits of those hit squad team members into the airports that's gave them a large picture of or large parts of the picture of what's happened what is really waiting what we're waiting on is how to conclude this investigation which means who will be indicted where will they be tried what will they be charged with and ultimately whether the simply simply will be because the perpetrators those who

actually carried out the assassination will be tried or even those who ordered this most notably the most senior figures within the royal family even possibly the crown prince obviously that's a lot that many would consider that to be far fetched but what's significant and what's touched upon them is aside from that's criminal investigation obviously the fallout so in the past hour we've had a few dozen people gather outside the consulate here in istanbul they've been chanting against the saudi regime they've been calling for an end to the war in yemen it is or must be noted that these are supporters of the holy see if they made no secret of that branding or brandishing rather pictures of out the medical policy and other. symbols related to the shiite militia there but it just goes to show just how complex the story of jamal casualties murder is that it goes far

beyond just the simple murder even greater than the international political implications of its obviously the business ties to it and now there is a lot of focus being placed on the war in yemen and how maybe this murder can be used in order to push the saudis to concede at least and possibly save the lives of thousands of more innocent people in yemen. to manage share life worse in his temples nice to me now aid agencies and medical specialists are warning the ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo could spread to neighboring countries it is the worst outbreak there in the country's history with three hundred nineteen confirmed and probabl probable cases and a death toll of more than two hundred people the star has more. this is the tenth ebola outbreak in the democratic republic of congo but this one is the west and the wilds fast in a conflict zone. since twenty fourteen about two thousand people have been killed

in northeast india in fighting between groups and now since august a record more than two hundred people that have died from it but you know. the ball epidemic in north kivu want to reprivatize has surpassed that of the first epidemic in d. or c. as history which occurred in one nine hundred seventy six indian buku in the province of a quarter when you go up i think health ministry says medical teams in the area are attacked on average three to four times a week an unprecedented level of violence compared with previous outbreaks to medical agents with the congolese army was shot dead three weeks ago. people were killed and a dozen children abducted in subsequent attacks around the town is standing in the world health organization says it's become the outbreak epicenter because of what it calls a toxic mix of violence and community mistrust the outbreak is not under control

and it's been. so large a number of haitian in the town of dany and now we are very concerned about another town. where you have a million people and cases from a baby tribal area. and we are now worried that transmission in that town this he says is a window of opportunity. a vaccination program has already reached some twenty five thousand people that have only to see senator levin neighboring uganda has become the first in the world to administer a vaccine without an active outbreak targeting frontline health workers near the border they're really trying our hardest to vaccinate as many people as possible without potential exposure to a bowl of ours because the vaccine. really seems to work the problem is it's challenging to access people because of you instability in the area and it's hard to ensure that people who have had a possible exposure to all of ours actually know that access. only for safety

reasons and borders here are porous these roads like this one in south sudan lead across sovereign frontiers and as people travel they give him the ability to travel with them to become something difficult that's good enough up to now you don't have any. dates but you felt. that entity to be very challenging to people who comes through. as the death toll mounts in the neighboring countries are watching closely. al-jazeera. all right better hurricane season this year than last for the caribbean but we've got some flooding as well the moment this hurricane season it was the u.s. main on the did badly year ago is a different story but. dominique you may well remember got hit by a year ago i think it was by maria what is now just a massive in the certain season has been different one has b.r.'s but we've now got

the rains going slowly south and they've been concentrating did you know the capital of germany it was ross or i didn't but it is. well it's going mobile phone footage of the flooding on the island as of yesterday now as far as i can tell this is only about seventy millimeters of rain over sea following very rapidly and all been channeled in the wrong place and if you follow the logic back you take it you get it to panama panama or so. off doesn't show a huge amount of cash but the same sort of thing happened with about the same amount of rain to be again verbal phone footage but it's a similar sort of story we're talking about maybe a little bit more right in the bit more of a nuisance to be honest it will go away but it's there for now however our set of forecasts doesn't bow particularly well for power of all that rain does exist in the us must as recorded for the next two or three days i mean there's the onshore breeze as you can see it is nicaragua dying to pamela's today for a run you over night nothing changes this is not developed by the water the

sunshine this is just where the rain belt is at the moment. thanks rob still ahead on exit a too close to call us midterm election results from florida hang in the balance will have a live update. later in sport frustration for ferrari as sebastian vettel is bad behavior tips the scales in favor of a say to. a congress divided between democrats and republicans. what does it mean for america and the world in these remaining two years of donald trump's presidency. find out. on al-jazeera. as migrants seek sanctuary on its shows the e.u. must choose rescue over to turn. italy's anti immigration

tributes to the millions of servicemen and civilians who died in world war one leaders from more than seventy countries are in paris for the one hundredth anniversary around twenty million people lost their lives and france was the epicenter of the first global conflict and its host the main international commemoration. at least sixty one people have been killed after more fighting in the yemeni port city of data between forces backed by saudi the saudi and coalition and hoody rebels aid groups say the humanitarian crisis is getting worse as many caught in the conflict the lack of access to basic medical care the information minister has defected and sought refuge in riyadh. the white house says president donald trump and turkish leader wretched type one held discussions. on how to respond to the killing of journalist. says turkey has shared already a recordings of these last moments with several world leaders. a north and south

korean troops have withdrawn from eleven guard posts along the edges of the demilitarized zone which divides the two steps were agreed touring the recent into korean talks last month and they want to eventually remove all the guard posts along the d.m.z. almost two hundred in total relations have been improving this year and north and south korea have been officially of war since the one nine hundred fifty s. woman kelly is a professor of political science at south korea's poussin national university and he joins us via skype now from who sent thanks very much for being with us so how important is this step in this gradual warming of relations that we're seeing between the two koreas a militarily it's not a particularly big deal right and the two koreas have large numbers of forward forces on the developed rhizome so these are early posts they're pretty small but it does sort of make the hair trigger

a little bit less delicate it does mean that there's a little bit less sort of immediate forward observation by the two sides so that's good it's something of a build down but it's mostly symbolic but that's what you would expect from something like this that's really sensitive right that what they would start with small steps first and then work up so what's likely to happen next i mean they're talking about reinvention removing all of them. yeah that's right i mean yeah i mean the d.m.z. is pretty the developed arizona is pretty heavily militarized you are saying you've got mines and barbed wire and you know you've got north korean artillery and things like that i mean there's you know got american forces in south korean forces and stuff obvious to the south and so what the current government is looking to do is sort of continue to expand the sort of demilitarized space to sort of you know the mining has been mentioned removing barbed wire the no fly zone over the demilitarized zone has been expanded but a lot of that sort of depends on how these are small steps go the big really big thing would be if the two sides could actually start would draw forward based. forces right because the north korean artillery on the south koreans are really

worried that if there's a war the north koreans would shell soul which is very close to the d.m.z. so that's really the big one but that's probably a couple years away so just broadly speaking then is all of this going to make a difference in terms of getting north korea to give up its nuclear weapons program because if you talk to people on the conservative. opposition politicians in south korea for example they will say that this this is basically the only card that north korea has and they will never give up their nuclear weapons. yeah i actually accept that analysis myself i think it's highly unlikely that north korea will denuclearized we can probably kept them where they are all male demand some kind of payment or concession for that and then maybe we can get them to hold back a little bit maybe cut back you know terror twenty percent of their warhead stockpile but i'm not going to go to zero i mean i doubt that i think really is a myth that they'll completely new grads this is a separate track the conventional build down the nuclear one it's not clear to me

yet that they're really that related as they see the conventional build down stuff in part because the south korean side has a conventional major conventional advantage so it's actually much less dangerous for the south to do it but in some point i mean if this detente really does take off the two koreas was started in iraq and a lot of things all this was going to blend together but right now the conventional stuff is actually being pursued as a separate track from the from the nuclear one i don't think that this suggests that we've made any progress and denuclearization no good to speak here robert kelly joining us there from hussein thanks for thanks for having me. all right the u.s. state of florida is again at the center of another election battle a recount has been ordered in the races for governor and u.s. senate republican candidates have a slight lead in both votes according to the initial count in georgia and arizona some results still haven't been confirmed five days after the midterm elections go

to washington now i gave you amazon there has been monitoring all of this force from there so again we're on florida first what is the latest there. well we're going to have a recount that's for sure because it's just too close to call that's what the secretary of state of florida was saying after they looked through all of the different results from all of the sixty seven counties in florida this into this eight million people voted just in the state of florida and the difference in the senate race between rick scott the republican and bill nelson the democrat is only fourteen thousand votes roughly over eight million cast you can see how close it is percentage wise a republican fifty point zero percent of the vote the democrat bill nelson forty nine point nine very very close there in the governor's race as well the republican also holding a very narrow lead ron dissent has forty nine point six percent andrew gillum the democrat forty nine point two percent about thirty five thousand votes separate the

two men there now the recount how is going to go it's probably going to go about ten days to two weeks or so it's going to be a machine recount but if the machines find discrepancies or they find that the narrowed the gap has narrowed even further they could then switch to a hand recount which could extend the process even further and of course both the democrats and republicans have sent lawyers into florida to monitor this they're already talks of lawsuits going back and forth so this process could drag out a while yeah and each state of course has its own way of dealing with this as we mentioned earlier the arizona and georgia last two very close races there the votes still being counted but as of now no no recounts planned. no in arizona they're simply it's a prolonging the counting of the original votes there's no recount yet in arizona but it is also a senate seat up for grabs as well there the democrat holds about

a twenty eight thousand vote lead she's got about forty nine point five percent of both that republican forty eight point two but they've still got hundreds of thousands of absentee ballots that they're still trying to count so this isn't a recalls just waiting for the absentee ballots to come in ups and to balance or when someone lives in the state of arizona but was traveling on election day so they can request a ballot in the mail and then send it in there waiting for a lot of these ballots to still come in because they might have been postmarked the day before the election or something like that but they just haven't come in yet or they have come in they just haven't been counted and if you're talking about a twenty eight thousand vote difference there and still over one hundred thousand to be counted you can see how this is of race it's very much in flux as well big big senate seat there the democrat having a very slight lead right now would be the first time a democrat has won the state of arizona if their lead holds up since one thousand

nine hundred eighty eight the governor's race in georgia also too close to call the republican there brian kemp has already declared victory but the state has said no let's wait for all the votes to come in there still some return ballots that are coming back still they still want to go through some of the ballots that haven't been counted yet that's still a very close race as well the report democrat stacy abrams an african-american woman she would be the first african-american governor of the state of georgia but that's just races still too close to call zero all right for the moment live for us there in washington. a firefighters in california say they're up against some of the toughest conditions they faced as wildfires continue across the state twenty five people have now died from the fires hundreds of thousands have been forced to leave their homes rob reynolds has more from malibu. at least two hundred thousand people in southern california have been evacuated as the wildfire there has doubled

in size are far far it's been. it's three mm. they say they've never seen him on. two thousand firefighters are battling the blaze many homes have been burnt to the ground in northern california a separate huge wildfire killed a number of people as they tried to flee the town of paradise the town itself was virtually incinerated dozens of people are missing in that area and authorities fear the death toll may rise we've gone to lots of you know wild land fires over the years and this is one of the worst we have seen personally so it's pretty horrific. the fires broke out on thursday and fanned by high winds quickly raged out of control towering clouds of smoke.
