i have been child from gaza. and i think that there was some maybe waiting for any diplomatic intervention but. we hear nothing about that from egypt from got the from the united nations. we had not a leo intervention so that's why the palestinian factions interrupted and it seems that both in the beginning soon after the. date of creation. is that both sides do not or i'm not interested in establishing but if there is no it's going to shoot means that there is it is expected that that is at the bridge what the moment or anything about the context but the benefits actions this if i must think so knowledgeable about the context you know and with the assurance it means that there is a it is a catalyst that's why that's what i expect that's why they decided to will

retaliate we'll have to see if if there are some signs of efforts that will dialogue with some sort of diplomatic initiative to try and calm things down but for now thank you very much tommy i was fallin. now the u.s. says we need a school for an end to the civil war in yemen some reports say at least one hundred fifty people have been killed in the past twenty four hours street battles have brought chaos to residential areas in the main port city of her data now methadone has been following the story from across the red sea in djibouti. heavy fighting is still going on on a list three different lines in the city of the day that the government charges are taking on the positions of the if you fight those who so you should be full to the resistance and despite all your promises by for the sody you equalization as well

as the pro-government fighters not to carry out with bottles the war seems already dark for us we saw bodies lying on some of the streets in the residential neighborhoods of the islam part of the day the ultimate price the government fighters who are battling the wealthy why this is the whole of all of the that which is a lifeline for millions of yemenis more than seven could for some of the countries in flux go through the polls including aid which is needed by more than fourteen million people they use not only for the people who will stop if the horse petitions the whole to also hold the residents of the city who are still in the city and some of whom have already been affected by the fighting that's going on. u.k. foreign secretary is in saudi arabia for talks expected to focus on the war in yemen

and the killing of jamal khashoggi jeremy hunt has been meeting the saudi king in the capital riyadh is the first british minister to visit they came to him since khashoggi was murdered in october a spokesman for prime minister tourism a said one would push the saudis to do more to deliver justice and accountability in the case. well canada's prime minister has become the first western needs of knowledge that his country has received an order recording of jamal khashoggi justin trudeau says intelligence agencies of listen to tape it comes off to turkey's president. said on saturday that recordings had been shared with several countries including saudi arabia us germany france and britain canada intelligence agencies have been working very closely on this issue with the turkish intelligence committee has been fully briefed on what. turkey had to share and i had a conversation with president carter one just

a couple of weeks ago in over the phone here in in in paris we had prefix changes and which i. thanked him for his is strength in responding to the show you situation all the french foreign minister says he doesn't know if turkey has given his government any recordings related to the killing of jamal khashoggi e.q. is the turkish president of playing political games comments which ankara has described as unacceptable. excess if the turkish president has information he should give it to us he must give it to us does this mean that he didn't give it to you for no i don't have this information does this mean that he lied it means that he's playing a particular political game and the circumstance of let's go live to jamal israel outside the saudi consulate in istanbul just listening to that clip jamal we see that the sort of politics around the killing of jamal khashoggi continues creating i suppose a rather confusing picture of who knows what. well

i mean my argument seems that everybody is playing a political game indeed if. the french foreign minister is accusing the turkish president of that he himself has been playing on language because he was he says they don't have tapes they have definitely listened to the all your recordings in fact just in the past hour the turkish foreign minister specified that on october twenty fourth french intelligence officers were not only. listen and did not only listen to those recordings but were actually given a transcript as well of what happened so it seems that the french are playing on semantics here in order to maybe give themselves some sort of wiggle room because obviously it's important to know that france is doing billions of dollars worth of deals with saudi arabia not only in terms of military procurement but also in terms of aerospace and other. industries and therefore it's in their interests at least

for domestic consumption not to show that they are turning a blind eye if indeed they are aware of everything that's being given by the germans have already admitted that they have it so we've heard from the canadians as well and it's just sort of shared it with a country without disrespecting any in terms of size but if they shared it with the canadians want as significant global players as the french for example then you could bet your bottom dollar that they have also shared it with the french the question is now whether the countries that have been made privy to these recordings and their contents whether they choose to actually act upon it it would seem that's with germany one strip to riyadh that is the u.k. foreign secretary going there that maybe the british who was the second largest sellers of arms to saudi arabia have decided to at least appear to be doing something we understand that's hunter's mess both with king solomon as well as the job of the foreign minister he hasn't disclosed whether he has met with the crown prince mohammed bin someone but remember him have been someone had

a hugely. let's see advertised trip to long. then a few months ago the british were extruding really keen on showing that site relationship in fact he was given everything both state visits in the sense that he met with the queen and so forth so be very interesting to see how this trip will play out in terms of putting any pressure on the drum on such a case thank you very much demolish a all their faces all the latest in istanbul. so i have for you on the program killed while rallying for their rights six protesters from afghanistan's minority has are a group become the latest victims of an i still suicide bombing no end in sight for sri lanka's political crisis result opposition groups try to challenge the president's decision to call for january polls.

hello again because it is clearing away from the southeastern parts of china now we did have a lot of cloud a lot of rain with us but that's working eastwards and we're just seeing this little patch now towards shanghai still giving us a bit of rain but even that should clear as we head through into choose day and then most of us should see a good deal of dry weather later on there we will see more clouds begin to form in a few outbreaks of rain and then that will be pushing its way a bit further north was as we head into wednesday so force in hunan and also through bay looks pretty great pretty wet to during the day a wednesday but the rain will turn a little heavy a force in the late to wednesday night and as we head into the day as well when it does it pretty wet here another place we're watching for some rather significant weather is across the bay of bengal where we have a cycling with us that's tracking its way towards the west and it's moving fairly slowly so force in india that it looks like we're going to see the eye of that storm made landfall on thursday but between now and then we're going to see the cloud increase and the rain will begin as well so the west so weather will be with us on wednesday turning heavier throughout the day and as we head into the day

welcome back just a quick recap of the top stories this hour two palestinians have been killed after a heavy exchange of rocket fire and shelling between israel and gaza israeli officials say eighty rockets have been fired into israel one hating abbas injuring a nineteen year old and another hitting house in southern israel the violence comes less than twenty four hours after a secret israeli military operation in gaza which left seven palestinians and one israeli dead funerals have been held for the palestinians killed on sunday all seven were members of hamas military wing a somber day. and the u.k. foreign secretary is saudi arabia to fully cooperate with turkish investigators of the killing of jamal khashoggi jeremy hunt is the first british minister to visit

the kingdom since khashoggi was murdered in october. well now some of the two hundred fifty thousand people forced from their homes by wildfires in the u.s. state of california being allowed to return a major highway has also been reopened but authorities are also warning that many regions are still in danger or jay gray joins us now from westlake village in california so from what we're hearing the authorities seem to think that perhaps the danger is starting to recede how would you describe the conditions there. well first i want to show you what the flames are leaving behind this is a firsthand look at some of the devastation here in places that looks like the surface of the moon or something i mean you've got does solution here thick gray covering everything little left but twisted metal in many of these areas and this

is what a lot of those returning evacuees will be coming back to it's important to point out while there is. some mayor. some neighborhoods where people are allowed to go back into their neighborhoods back into their homes and see exactly what happened that's not the case over much of the area still a lot of vacuum way sions in place hundreds of thousands and officials fear more could be on the way why because the santa ana winds that are pushing the flames expected to pick up again today and run through the next couple of days pushing fire into places it hasn't been yet jeopardizing other communities samarium while some are getting back into their homes back into their neighborhoods this is far from over right now that's right we know that some of those who have got to evacuate the area have been told that it's that they can now or ton. is it safe for them is that still a risk that well they're definitely risks in

neighborhoods that have already seen fire hotspots re flaring we've seen that happen over the last couple of days it doesn't look like there's a lot of fuel here to get a fire burning again but there is fuel in areas like this and they are burning again and that's a big concern that's why officials are holding a lot of people back not allowing them to get back into their neighborhoods just yet they don't want to take any chances at that point remember there are three fires burning from the north part of the state down through the south where we are near los angeles and that wind is just going to push those fires expanding them even further through the hills and that's a big worry for a lot of the crews that are on the ground here more than eight thousand fighting this fire around the clock and teams from across the country poor ing in throughout the last couple of days to try and give them some relief trying to give them some help here it's help they're going to need this fire is going to continue to burn for quite quite some time mary thanks very much for now j. gray with all the latest from westlake village california. to afghanistan now i

suppose crime responsibility for a suicide attack in the capital which is kill six protest as they were all members of the ethnic minority group the hazaar as a rallying for greater protection of that community following a number of high profile attacks and how you're going to aim has mall. a target was this group of protesters. but according to media reports afghan forces were able to stop a suicide bomber before he reached the demonstrators not before who detonated his explosives. they heard earlier on monday there were calls for peace and protection in kabul we actually have raised our voice because we need security when security and it's their responsibility of the government i subjected to discrimination for generation of. the haze or a community wants to ensure its voices are heard after

a series of attacks by the taliban since last week i was on the story of five to five days that jill would approach to be modest on and so there is going to. attack of taliban through. one hundred and fifty people were killed but there is no action to take. on the afghan forces have increased ground and air attacks against the taliban in two districts in the southeastern province of gaza me the has are as a shiite minority group dominate the districts they've been fighting the taliban who are sunni muslims all over this has raised fears of a spike in sectarian violence in the war weary country and concerns the government isn't doing enough it's not only. tribal whole suffered the same thing would they

complain but it's of the country. suffering the same thing every day with afghan security forces just paying a high price to skew this country the afghan army chief says is already lost soldiers additional ground troops are being deployed to gaza the province and u.s. forces are assisting the offensive by air natasha going to a zero on ash lanka supreme court has been hearing a challenge the president's decision to call a snap election president might have bought a series cena triggered a major political crisis last month when he fired and replaced the prime minister on friday he dissolved parliament and called for snap elections in january after his attempts to secure a majority first party failed three opposition parties have called for the supremes court to declare his action illegal but it smith followed the first day of deliberations in the capital colombo. spent the day listening to arguments from petitioners who want the court to overturn the president's decision to

dissolve parliament and call elections but. the president. constitutionally as far as record said he has the right to dissolve parliament the man and the second census in which it is clearly stated in the constitution and he seems to have ignored it and in that sense it's a full. eight the president were to dissolve parliament and if that dissolution is within the first four and. then that can be done only after the parliament by a majority approves it as allusion to that effect in this instance. and therefore the condition. has not been followed and then president's act of dissolving parliament. on tuesday the court will hear from the attorney general he has to make the argument on behalf of the government going to

be arraigned trysting because the attorney general when asked by the speaker of parliament a couple of weeks ago for an opinion he said he didn't think it was right for him to do so will now. turn in general agrees or not whether he agrees with the president or not. but government and underneath all of this is a very simple argument but while the government lawyers may find a constitutional way to excuse or allow the president's behavior in dissolving parliament to be a big argument against the spirit of a constitutional change brought in a couple of years ago that took power away from the president and gave it to the people through parliament and it's a parliament to appoint the prime minister. have been killed after a heavy exchange of rocket fire and shelling between israel and gaza israeli army

says one hundred rockets have been fired into israel from gaza many intercepted by the iron dome defense system but one of the rockets hit a bus and a number hit a house in southern israel the violence comes less than twenty four hours after a secret israeli military operation in gaza which left seven palestinians and one israeli dead funerals have been held for the palestinians killed on sunday all seven were members of hamas military wing the somber gate one was a military commander kerry force as more from west jerusalem. this latest round of military escalation beginning just over an hour ago with a big barrage of rockets being fired out of gaza towards israeli territory one israeli bus struck the driver reportedly wounded a building in stare up struck glass shattering injuring three people the reports of twelve israelis injured in total the u.s.

has renewed its call for an end to the civil war in yemen some reports say at least one hundred fifty people have been killed in the past twenty four hours street battles have brought chaos to residential areas in the main port city of the data saudi and amorality back forces are trying to take back the city from rebel forces . meanwhile the u.k. foreign secretary is in saudi arabia discussing the war in yemen and the killing of jamal khashoggi jeremy hunt has held talks with the saudi king solomon the capital riyadh he is the first british minister to visit the kingdom since khashoggi was knighted in october a spokesman for the prime minister to resume a says hunt will push the saudis to do more to deliver justice and accountability in the khashoggi case. and at least thirty one people have died as wildfires continue to burn across the u.s. state of california will than two hundred fifty thousand others have been forced to flee their homes blazes are california's deadliest on wreck order strong winds and

tender dry conditions are threatening more devastation throughout the week we'll have more on that story and everything else we're covering a bit later on in about twenty five minutes time coming up next on al-jazeera it's counting the cost. again this is counting the cost on al-jazeera a weekly look at the world of business and economics this week u.s. sanctions on iran are back as europe not to step into line we'll look at how

difficult it is to resist the financial might of the dollar. also this week putting on a show china insists that its economy is opening up but convincing the rest of the world is proving difficult. struggling to maintain its status as the only negative country in the world. as of this week iran is now effectively shut out from the dollar dominated financial system u.s. sanctions on iran of snapped back into place and then aimed right at the heart of the islamic republic's economy oil they also target shipping banks and financial entity's that enable iran's oil trade the goal is to make iran curb its missile and nuclear program now if you're wondering why the oil market hasn't moved dramatically it's because eight countries got a six month waiver china taiwan india south korea greece italy japan and turkey iran's biggest customers so that helped keep

a lid on any global oil price disruption for now iran's president has some rouhani has said this country doesn't need american waivers to sell oil al-jazeera same bus ravi reports from tehran. one of the reasons president donald trump gave to pull out of the two thousand and fifty nuclear deal and re-impose sanctions on iran was the country's growing military influence in the middle east and their ballistic missiles program. so it was perhaps not a coincidence that iranians scheduled one of their largest military exercises of the year on the same day as u.s. sanctions kicked back in with. multiple air defense units took part in war games spanning half a million square kilometers across the country and as the missiles took flight on the ground the iranian president lobbed insults at the american president but how it was by an able go scout that i don't think any other administration in the

history of the united states has been as opposed to the law and international treaties i've not seen any administration in the white house as racist as these people and you cannot expect anything else from them in a speech to his recently shaken up economic team rouhani laid out a broad plan for the future come what may iran will sell oil and will break u.s. sanctions in the face of american threats iranians put their faith in the basic principle of supply and demand i believe the sanction was. but that they couldn't sanction is not the. sudden need. some think in their mind and then put sanctions and you need the supply side you cannot expect the prize good though. simple price goes up iran has used unmarked ships to sell oil in international waters traded oil using the barter system and rouhani has also floated the idea of selling oil in alternative

currencies to the u.s. dollar iran is also counting on a european bypass to the american banking system but months of promises and public support by the european union have not led to practical solutions behind closed doors some iranians are asking if that was the plan all along despite rouhani is insistence that european support is a big deal for iran keeping iran will not be the only challenge for europe to keep iran in the nuclear deal with american sanctions at full strength and more said to be on the way they'll also have to figure out how to turn the temperature down between hawks and to iran and washington. well the e.u. along with china and russia remain committed to the nuclear deal but fighting the sanctions is proving difficult the bloke is trying to set up a special purpose vehicle to avoid penalties but that plan still lacks practical details in the meantime companies that need access to u.s. markets are leaving iran swift the belgium based global financial messaging system

also said that it would fall into line with the u.s. restrictions and its disconnecting blacklisted iranian banks as the iran sanctions came into force france put forward the idea of boosting the role of the euro but challenging the power of the dollar may prove difficult well the dollar is just one of the world's one hundred eighty five currencies that when it comes to foreign exchange it is the king in ninety percent of global foreign exchange trading involves the us dollar it is the world's official reserve currency and it's mostly because the us is the strongest and most stable economy in the world global assets commodities like oil corn and gold are traded in dollars reserves held in u.s. dollars climbed to sixty two point four eight percent of global allocated reserves in the first quarter of this year the euro introduced in one thousand nine hundred nine is the second most commonly held currency but it's far behind the dollar

accounting for around twenty percent of global reserves that china would like the you want to replace the dollar as the global currency but it too has a long way to go it accounted for one point eight four percent of global central bank reserves in mid twenty eight hundred seven now the dollar rules joining us now from washington is dr sar of a surety sar is the founder and president of s.t.b. energy international good to have you with us sara what about those waivers we were talking about a few moments ago surely there's a self-defeating for the u.s. on. me she'll be feeding actually a chess game is not the. so the president trucks administration bridge to d.c. our understanding and de sac conclusion that it's better to put the priority for any term election first and prevent any rise of price of gasoline domestically inside who are so they groom are forced to be lose the seats and then there is

enough time to attempt and the pressure is against iran and also there is that expectation in the market that in the next six months i mean two thousand and nineteen the market is going to face over and over supply due today higher expert capacity from us and also lower demand so the market will be more read at that time if for any pressures iran is needed so is the us using the reserve currency status of the us dollar as a weapon when it comes to iran well i mean there are many different weapons if you want to act and sit there and us is using at against iran but what is more very important is that all of these countries that are importing oil from iran none of them are going to get any types of currency back to iran and iran can only import humanitarian goods or this is very good as those moves that are not subject to sanctions back to iran so they're kind of bartering their oil for food or medicine

or necessary goods but you said the chess game is is far from complete here are these sanctions from the u.s. point of view going to work or will they they fail iran seems to be fairly confident that it can withstand these sanctions if they do fail from an american point of view does that signal that the dollar can no longer be used as a foreign policy weapon yes i agree with your question because now we have european union that they are coming up with as specific channels of trade would be iran banking at transaction with iran and if these channels are built for a more of formal and more usable. ways of working with iran this of course is going to weaken i know and dollar as it were and also iraq is now selling its oil in a local currency to these countries so i agree i mean if we push this more or if we want to use this as a weapon is going to and if he's as losing its influence from we cannot also

denying the fact that it's all have it's own and sequences on iran's economy obviously any sanctions regime is bad for iran and the iranian economy but who benefits here is it us oil producers is it saudi arabia will iran end up losing market share at what is approved a particularly important time for the oil market. well yes in that sense if you look at it especially in two thousand and nineteen that the market expects much higher u.s. oil market both on the production side and an export capacity to pipeline capacity of export is going to raise significantly from united states and obviously not the supply and mostly none of the shell supplier want to have that nowhere in price because it has a. negative impact on the show production so iran's sanctions would definitely benefit major producers not only saudi arabia and the us but also

helps russia if you want to look at that any major producer would benefit from not having another significant producer in a market to take over their market share but at this point you could well in market expect is that saudi and russia both kind of expect their export as much as they could and they kind of grab the market share as much as they could so we will what we have is the u.s. market share that could expand in the. in the end in the next few months by need to come in one thousand one final question how long can it runs economy withstand these sanctions what happens if iran basically goes bust and can't provide basic. public services and who bails them out. well the thing is that this is not the first round of sanctions on iran so iran's oil was sanctions out what a few years ago when they nationalized their oil so they running government they're

so colored youth they are built and living under the sanctions and there are your views and their policies they're always shaping based on how they can be more resistance i know you want well and that's true if you look at it even though the nuclear sanctions were lifted in two thousand and fifteen iran expanded its domestic condensate processing capacity and expectation of. future sanctions which brings us to today that iraq condensate is also part of this action so they're basing their country and their economy their industrial base them to be resilient a day more every day more an end date for iran's economy could use to survive this round of sanctions but what is really hurting iran's economy is the corruption the domestic corruption lack of management so that's what really could hurt humans economy but what these sanctions are critical iran's economy to extend that the whole system would collapse you don't expect it sour really good to talk to many thanks indeed dr sarra surely that in washington. still to come on counting the

cost why i have every coast's white gold is now at the center of the u.s. china trade war. but first rethink your budget or face fines that's the message from the european commission to its elite the government in rome has put forward a rule busting spending and tax cut plan the expansionary measures designed to grow the economy but the e.u. says the proposal is an expensive miscalculation it's the first time that a member state's budget has been rejected by the block the italians now have until november thirteenth to resubmit the father of the world wide web says the internet is broken but that he has a plan to fix it speaking at the web summit tech conference in lisbon this week tim berners lee said that there's been a big change in the web since he invented it nearly thirty.
