jammers something used to prevent or block any sort of communication in an area just in case possibly that g. had the phone with him or wanted to call but it also brings into question how any bugging device if there was indeed one place in the consulates would have been able to operate in the presence of those jammers if they were used properly so the significant thing here to wrap up has them is aside from what is in those images and what it shows in terms of the tools that these. intelligence officers or operatives had the fact that turkey has chosen to release these images now obviously they've had these images for more than a month this is airport stuff that doesn't stay for that long so they've had it for that long they decided to release it now possibly as a reminder to the world that they do still have other evidence and unless the justice that they believe should be served is indeed delivered by the saudis through pressure from the americans and the international community then they will continue leaking this until his killers are both

3:03 am
back alsa raj and the post conference press conference held by the italian prime minister and the u.n. envoy her son salomé was full of very positive sentiment they talked about that accordion will spirit of the they had released seen and talked about the agreement of the international community to fall in line behind a new u.n. sponsored plan leading to elections by the middle of next year preceded by a national conference in libya by the libyans themselves to decide on what sort of electoral process they want to see there were comments about security assurances that have been given on security about the economic. issues and so on but very little detail about precisely what has been agreed and indeed whether anything at all has been written down and signed or whether it's essentially this is an agreement that exists between these two sides now based on trust based on the word
3:04 am
of these two men and that is how things appear to fall down at the moment it's been declared a success by the u.n. envoy this conference and indeed by the italian prime minister quite what has emerged of substance is not entirely clear. all right still ahead in this news hour a new twist in the constitutional crisis gripping sri lanka. the grim search for bodies after the worst recorded wildfires in california history. and reverse in fourteen. for roger federer's conqueror just two days later the a.t.p. world tour finals peter will be here with that later they inspire. all of us they have a first with just two days after just two days after returning from world war one commemorations in france donald trump has attacked french president emmanuel mccraw
3:05 am
in a series of tweets in one the u.s. president pointed to macross recent comments about europe defending itself saying france almost lost to germany in both world wars emanuel macross suggests building its own army to protect europe against the us china and russia but it was germany in world world wars one and two how did that work out for france they were starting to learn german in paris before the us came along pay for nato or not and another tweet trump said the problem is them emanuel suffers from a very low approval rating in france twenty six percent and an unemployment rate of almost ten percent he was just trying to get on to another subject by the way there is no country more nationalist than france a very proud people and rightfully so we are covering this story from both sides of the atlantic when the tasha but lay in paris and white house correspondent kimberly how kids in washington turned to kimberly first so that second tweet is of course
3:06 am
the a raise a reference to microns weekend warning about the rise of nationalism obviously. president trump didn't take it well. to say the least the president has been pretty insulted in that's the word he used in fact late last week to describe some of the comments made by the french president who forcefully rebuked the rise in nationalism of that sort of a thinly veiled pointing to donald trump in fact he said that this was a betrayal of patriotism old demons wreak chaos and death that was the crux of the message from the french president but that is not one that donald trump liked not only did he tweet late last week but he has been tweeting to hold up in the white house for much of the morning here in washington and certainly the white house is defending the president pushing back on some of his comments as donald trump has he has repeatedly insisted that when he refers to himself as
3:07 am
a nationalist he's talking about having pride in the united staes this is no way a sort of a nod to a rise in white nationalism nationalism here in the united states or around the world in fact that's what his economic advisor larry kudlow said on the grounds of the white house in the last couple of hours saying when the president uses the word nationalism he's always talking about it in economic terms saying that the president is simply looking after u.s. interests when he says he is a nationalist and that is the key point to underscore that the president did in fact take a jab at the fact that french or rather there are tariffs put on u.s. wines in france by the french government so certainly this is the point that the white house is trying to make all right kimberly thanks for that kimberly how could live from washington when it's actually in paris so to touch what's been the reaction there from has there been any.
3:08 am
well there lisa has been quite adamant no comment is what they say the french president or man or michael will not be responding to those tweets by donald trump and to be honest it's really no surprise it was just a couple of days ago that the french president when he was asked about responding to another tweet by donald trump him out or mcconnell said he prefers to have conversations in person directly face to face and he's not interested in diplomacy on twitter now in terms of how this is being seen by the wider public here in france will of course the french media channels have been covering it extensively and some commentators have been saying look this is merely the u.s. president trying to get back if you will at a man or might call for that speech of the armistice dates and tenor a when he talked about nationalism being the opposite of patriotism a swipe many saw at the u.s. president donald trump but there's been other commentators who've also said that
3:09 am
perhaps the u.s. president overstepped the mark when he referred to paris under german occupation during the world wars he said that you know the president was speaking german before the u.s. arrived well i think for many people they think that such a bringing up such a painful chapter in france's history is perhaps well bad form really and not the sort of thing one should do it's just simple political one upmanship and all of this on a very important day in france as the third year anniversary of the paris attacks back in november twenty fifth dean and in fact the only time him at all mark karr has tweeted today it has been to pay tribute to the people who died. about a life for us in paris. british and european union negotiators have reached a draft agreement on bragg's it that is according to the u.k. prime minister's office after theresa may brought her cabinet together to try to
3:10 am
get them all on side they'll meet again tomorrow to decide on the next steps for brennan is live for us in london and so poor we're hearing cabinet members have been meeting with the prime minister yet this is really crunch time for breakfast now there is a very tight timetable as it was they needed to have an agreement here in the u.k. this week in order to make it possible to have an emergency summit of all the e.u. leaders later this month otherwise the next opportunity would be december and the feeling was that that was far too late to get the process of the practicalities in place in time to meet the brics it deadline the full deadline of march the twenty ninth next year so the news that we've heard from downing street and from brussels tonight is that a draft form of the text of that agreement has now broadly been agreed that talking about the text being stabilized they're saying it's not concluded to get there and there is going to be a lot of discussion about this document it hasn't been widely circulated cabinet
3:11 am
ministers of the prime minister to resign may have been going to her office in downing street to be shown the document and to be able to actually read it for themselves but it hasn't been widely circulated outside of the building the have been a few leaks so there has been some reaction not all of it has been favorable in fact i can't think of any of it the reaction that's been favorable. but we are really entering the end game now for the bracks of process. and paul what hurdle still stand in the way of any deal particularly. with this meeting that they're going to have the next day as well. yeah well i spoke to you about the reaction basically the reaction gives you some of the details the kind of opposition the teresa mayes going to face boris johnson the former foreign secretary who quit over breck's it said this is vassal state stuff totally unacceptable he said it patently fails to fulfill the mandate given in the referendum of june twenty sixth seen as
3:12 am
a parliamentarian call jacob riis malky is pretty famous here in the u.k. as well who said this would mean northern ireland being ruled by dublin he said it was a betrayal of the union and even the opposition labor party kissed starmer their breakfast spokesperson said given the shambolic negotiations so far it's unlikely that this deal of the prime minister will be the right deal for britain now there are several stages to go through the cabinet has to agree and there have already been six cabinet minutes to sue quit the government over bracks it could we see another one given that states of the the controversy over the deal the teresa mayes got so that the cabinet has to agree with then its parliament and as you hear many people are against it there's no guarantee that this will go through parliament before you then have to get all the european union leaders to agree it as well so this is not the end game it's the beginning of the end game but the next forty eight hours we're going to be absolutely critical to the way the rest of this bracks of process
3:13 am
plays out between now and march all right for the moment paul brennan lifeforce in london. the f.b.i. says u.s. hate crimes rose in twenty seventeen for the third year in a row report released on tuesday shows though more than seven thousand attacks reported last here targeting victims race religion or sexual orientation overall there was a twenty three percent increase in crimes based on religion and anti jewish attacks rose by thirty seven percent acting attorney general matthew whitaker says the offenses are quote despicable violations of america's core values oren siegel is the director for the center on extremism at the anti defamation league he joins us live now via skype from new york thanks very much for being with us so clearly this is this is a set of figures for for your position and for many americans what do you what do you put this down to well you know the numbers in the f.b.i.
3:14 am
statistics are they very much aligned with the report that if you put out which we showed a fifty seven percent increase in any semitic incidents that go beyond just mere crimes so you know we're living in a moment in time where hatred against the whole wide range of individuals and communities is not only rampant but seems to be normalized every day in the public discussion but so what do you put this down to i mean a lot of people have blamed the president for this for some of his divisive rhetoric and some of the things that he has said which has been seen as as giving a license to to groups like this or to white supremacist groups is it all i mean did it distant all star when he became president did it is this something that has not been building up the for lent. you know the f.b.i. has been tracking hate crimes for many years i should note that you know there are
3:15 am
over ninety large cities of over one hundred thousand people that have reported either zero hate crimes or that have affirmatively you know not reported at all and so clearly the numbers are actually greater than the data we're talking about here but in terms of who is responsible i mean we are living in a moment on time where hatred of all kinds seems to be playing out in the front papers every single day elected officials need to consistently and categorically condemn hate no matter what kind it is otherwise we're seeing some of the consequences on the ground do you think a lot of it comes down to misinformation that that filters through things like social media and other media outlets in the oldest talk of fake news for example that people kind of act on a on their confirmation bias and it just kind of mushrooms from there i mean never before in human history have people been able to communicate with each other and
3:16 am
share information and that includes information that is either fake or that is based on a certain hatred of people's immutable characters so you know the ability for hatred to spread i think definitely has a role to play in the normalization of that and that's why it's so critical whether it's a social media company elected officials or frankly community members to consistently speak out against hate so that it ceases to get normalized it's going to be a challenge you talk about leaders need needing to step up more but what what can ordinary people do to try to counter this. i mean i think one of the main things is to encourage local law enforcement agencies elected officials to make sure that people are reporting news as i mentioned there are many many large cities that are reporting zero or not reporting at all and so we need to get that data and f.b.i. statistics is one way because that's what changes policies when people know the type of hatred and the victims that are happening in their communities that's when
3:17 am
they can advocate for measures to try to push back against that. good to speak with you on siegel joining us there from new york thank you. now ahead in the second half of this news hour why the u.n. says it won't help arrange refugees to return to me and more from bangladesh if they're in turn be in camps. el chapo who suspected of being one of the world's most powerful drug lords is set to go on trial. and in school real madrid's caretaker coach impress is enough to get a full time contract he too will be here with more. the middle east has been on quite unsettled recently and there's plenty more rain still to come we've got some cloud that's just drifting its way eastwards away from
3:18 am
mom up there and we've also got some more chunks of cloud making their way through parts of the black sea and across towards the caspian sea as we head through into wednesday this area of tad really disintegrates but what you'll notice is this rather active area of cloud and rain that's working its way through parts of syria and into turkey and to some of us in turkey it's going to be cold enough to give us a lot of snow so wednesday then looking very unsettled and then that sweeps its way eastwards as we had three thursday still giving some shop outbreaks of wet weather rain or snow they've had the towards the south as also a lot of unsettled weather here too that's working its way out to the arabian peninsula over q eight and into iran and i think for some of us here it will be incredibly heavy that is likely to be a fair amount of disruption from the system so here it is again then you can see it stretching up into more of a rant as we head through into thursday to the south of that so it looks like it should be more or less dry here in doha a top temperature of thirty two muscat having a fine day at twenty nine if we head for the south we've got
3:19 am
a little bit of cloud just in the northern parts of madagascar that's the remnants of an old cycle so a little bit wet head but away from that largely fine and dry. it is murder when you throw a fire bomb into someone's home and need sheet off crashing you know. not in significant in the numbers that insignificant ideologically that is significant even as a crime gag very significant by dictating big government and the fucked up policy now shall not kill part of the radicalized youth series on al-jazeera. al-jazeera. where every.
3:20 am
across china millions of cameras are watching citizens every move and scoring their behavior one used investigates china's surveillance crackdown. on al-jazeera. again you're watching al-jazeera reminder of our top stories this hour palestinian armed groups including hamas have agreed to a ceasefire with israel off the days of cross border violence at least seven palestinians were killed in gaza another palestinian died in the israeli town of ashkelon when his house was hit by a rocket from gaza. turkish media is reporting the so-called saudi hit squad
3:21 am
brought several items with them to carry out the murder of jim out a shocking report comes from the turkish newspaper the daily star. was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul october second by what turkey has described as a hit squad. of british and european union negotiators have reached a draft agreement on bragg's u.k. prime minister's office saying to rescind may you brought cabinet together to try to get them all on side they'll meet again tomorrow to decide on the next steps. the man known as el chapo and one of the world's biggest drug lords is going on trial in the united states joaquin guzman is accused of being the head of the sin aloa cartel once the main supplier of illegal drugs to the u.s. he was recaptured in mexico in two thousand and sixteen and extradited after escaping custody twice as chapo is facing trafficking and conspiracy charges. oh my god joe is the former chief of international operations for drug enforcement and
3:22 am
drug enforcement administration in the u.s. he is also the author of narco queen deal and metal coffins the blood alliance cartel he joins us live now from washington thanks very much for being with us so let's talk first of all about the trial itself and the issues surrounding that obviously a major security challenge for one thing how do you how do you put this man on trial in a sure it's a safe one with regards to to all of the witnesses and making sure that that all of that is secure when there's a lot of security precautions that are being undertaken for a chopper was months trial the judge has ordered that all of the jurors that are going to sit in on the trial that their identities be anonymous no one will know who they are where they live man address anything like that there is
3:23 am
a bomb sniffing dogs there is a huge security caravan so the security is very pide but i think that the first and foremost. item is the security of the jurors how much of a difference will it make if if if if if this man known as el chapo is when he's put on trial and he's found guilty and he goes to prison how much wow how much of a dent will that put. in the whole business of illegal drugs given that his cartel is still active when they just replace him with somebody else. well the keep in mind that chopper was mon was captured in guatemala in one thousand nine hundred three and he's escaped twice as you mentioned from the two most secure penitentiaries and mexico during the time that he's been in custody or on the
3:24 am
run he has is under boggs and then the vigil by the name of my own my own son bob who is a very old copple and he is the one that has been running the scene on the lower court pelle so the scene on the whole cartel continues to be the most powerful cartel in the in the world what do you say to those who argue that the solution to this because because this war on drugs has gone gone on for decades and it's seemingly a never ending battle that the solution to this is to simply legalize drugs and that. i'm not sure if you can if you can hear me looks as though we've we've lost our guest mr mike vigil there apologies for that search teams are now trying to recover bodies from california's worst wildfire with forty two people killed other fires continue to burn across the state a red flag warning stretched from north to south in the southeast smaller hill
3:25 am
fires mostly contained but the larger woolsey blaze has already claimed two lives and left a trail of destruction of beach resorts including malibu in northern california the town of paradise has been wiped out as the fire continues to burn the statutary reports. in the forests of northern california night bring three little responded and these firefighters have been working on multiple fronts and this is my first day on the fire it's been going for about three days now but i spent the first two to three days just dealing with the threat to my own home in my own community and then to come out here i mean this is the calling in the nearby town of chico some of the quarter million people forced to flee their homes across the state are now wondering what the future holds we will rebuild. one step at a time we were rebuild our home he will be a part of rebuilding that town because it's a few happen you know so much everybody's been so wonderful to just have to
3:26 am
count our blessings. and not count the losses. that they have been so many losses this is what's left of paradise. more than two hundred people a still missing investigators now combing through the debris and ashes of this incinerated town and. some bodies have been found and gutted cause the flames moving faster than they could drive to my being brought in to help identify the dead but officials warn finding bodies could take weeks as of today an additional thirteen human remains have been recovered which brings the total number to forty two if i understand that makes this the deadliest fire in the history of the united states wild land fire history united states south in los angeles county the hills are still smoking the fire here is only ten percent contained. in parts of
3:27 am
malibu some residents are returning to the scorched slopes my neighbor's a c. my house was in for that i wouldn't be here there's lots of. areas here that member and they came over here with water buckets and put out fires and. just very very grateful to them for. others stayed to defend their own homes when the fire came over the hill here and there was about sixty mile an hour plus turn pitch black. came over after that just right around and put out fires. but not all the fires have been pushed out and with no rain forecast and strong winds still blowing there's nothing to stop them. we're going to stay in the u.s. now and go back to the discussion that we were having just before we played that
3:28 am
report for you on the reputed drug lord chapo is going on trial in the u.s. we were speaking with mike vidual former chief of international operations for the d.a. in the u.s. last we spoke to you unfortunately dropped out but it looks like you have that back now i just want to make sure you can hear me ok. perfect ok excellent i wanted to ask you. what do you say to those who argue that the solution to this seemingly never ending war on drugs with all of the violence that has gone on over over decades now that the solution to this is to simply legalize drugs and to to to make it a. controlled substance through through legal channels and that the history of. bishan is not a good one and that it simply hasn't worked. well the fact of the matter is to legalize drugs would not be
3:29 am
a very good idea you know this are experiments that have been tried in many many countries and they have literally met when. for example the netherlands you know you have the m from the us coffee houses in amsterdam we can buy you can buy marijuana so what happened there you know in one thousand nine hundred nine there were three identified the international drug trafficking consortium and went then three years there were ninety three and then drug abuse among school aged children skyrocketed by three hundred fifty percent so it causes a lot of problems also with when health care where health care costs go up because a lot of individuals that are using drugs going through the workplace their motor skills are not replying they have accidents and that drives up health care cause so there's many factors that go into it i think that we need to do
3:30 am
a better job here in the united states in terms of the many cian the demand for drugs unfortunately we have the greatest amount for illegal drugs in the world and we still been able to so how do you do that and how do you tackle that adequately. well i think that you know it takes a community effort it's not only law enforcement but it's also the families you know the religious institutions the schools to educate these children at a very early age about the evolves using illegal drugs. for example and lee right now we have massive opioid up at that make which is caused by greedy pharmaceutical companies you have china that is producing the norm and shipping them into the united states so it's a very complex problem but legalise nation is not the solution to this
3:31 am
problem all right good to speak with you and i'm glad we were able to get you back on the second attempt mike vegetal thanks very much for being with us. sir lanka supremes court has blocked the president's move to dissolve parliament it is the latest twist in a constitutional crisis that began when president metropolit city ciena sacked and replaced the prime minister but a smith has more from colombia. this is a major blow for sri lanka's president supreme court saying that there is a case to be heard for arguments that he acted unconstitutionally in dissolving parliament and calling for new elections in january things have not been going a toll well for my for power series cena since he fired prime minister. he refused to leave his office saying that was unconstitutional the president said well i've got the numbers in parliament i'll recall parliament improve our got the backing to replace shoot it seemed never happen numbers in parliament so instead he went for this dissolution of parliament here we have an independent and just
