government off the defense minister avigdor lieberman resigns over the cease fire in gaza. also ahead of the al jazeera exclusive we meet the most wanted man in what the u.n. calls a forgotten conflict in central african republic. plus a visit by the u.s. defense secretary to american troops stationed on the mexico border. the u.k. prime minister to resign may has won the backing of her cabinet for a draft breaks it deals struck with the european union may says it's a decisive step towards a final deal will broaden reports. the marathon cabinet meeting concluded after five hours the outcome to recent mate has the backing of government ministers at least. the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the

northern ireland backstop but the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration if i may and by just and there was a deeply personal finale i believe that what i owe to this country is to take decisions that are in the national interest and i firmly believe with my head and my heart that this is a decision which is in the best interests of our entire united kingdom since the first leaks of the draft breccia deal emerged on tuesday evening there's been a fee bramah this fear in westminster ahead of the cabinet meeting there was a boisterous session in parliament and without even having seen the text of the deal with the opposition leader heap scorn on it it breaches the prime minister's own red lines it doesn't deliver a strong economic deal that supports jobs and industry and we know they haven't prepared seriously for no deal so does the prime minister's still intend to put

a false choice to parliament between her a botched jail or no jail the position of northern ireland's democratic unionist party is also crucial in all of this the prime minister's minority government relies on d u p support in parliament but they're backing on bricks it looks down for if she thinks that she's going to get this through parliament she has nothing coming all the groups she needs none of them seems willing to help the i d e p one vote for this deal because it puts a barrier between great britain northern ireland the heartbreaks is going to put it because it keeps a customs union a lot of remainders going to it because it reduces our influence it does nothing for services but it keeps us erasers about and he said. the overrunning of the u.k. cabinet meeting meant that in brussels a meeting of e.u. ambassadors had to break up without getting the chance to discuss the draft text nevertheless michel barnier the e.u.'s chief negotiator hailed the decisive

progress as he put it that he said had been made to. this agreement as a decisive crucial step and concluded in these negotiations and it's also the achievement of a method a methodology in negotiations carried out in transparency from the word go and fully in respect of our respective mandates cabinet approval means plans come out be accelerated for a summit of e.u. leaders most likely on november twenty fifth but in actual fact the collective approval of her cabinet ministers was perhaps the least of prime minister to resign may's worries important though it was remember she still faces the prospect of a no confidence vote in a leadership from her own party backbenchers and that is the prospect of a parliamentary landscape with so many different contingents that there is no clear consensus so we're joined by anything other than oppositions have a plan paul brennan al-jazeera westminster pro-government forces in yemen have poor

as an offensive against the rebel held city of data faces a back by the saudi embassy coalition which has thrown his weight behind another round of un that talks to end the conflict today that is the main entry point for most food and aid into yemen the un has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe if the port sustained heavy damage. has more from neighboring. there is a law in the fighting in the port city of the day there but so far it seems like a unilateral ceasefire with the fighters following the polls in fighting say that both sides are keeping to their positions but quickly added that they were willing to continue fighting if need be on the streets of the day that the u.s. state the minister for foreign affairs and we're going to gosh has told journalists that his government supports a ceasefire in the data and out of town to peace talks for parties in the conflict in yemen saudi government also as part of

a goodwill gesture before the start of peace talks agreed to lift up to fifty injured who will fight is probably to amman now we're also seeing some sort of consensus between western powers including the united states britain france and even russia to try and stop the war in the yemen some sort of a cease fire that would lead to talks this time in sweden after the failure of the last round that was supposed to take place in geneva switzerland which failed because the whole thing is. everyone understands too well what are the civil option to the vital services of the port of they could do to an already daya humanitarian situation which led the united nations secretary general and to a new group terrorist to warm the port activities should not be disrupted whatsoever because it's a lifeline for up to fourteen million yemenis who need aid to survive.

i don't leave one has quit israel's defense minister the boy's anger over a ceasefire with palestinian groups which he described as surrendering to tara his abrupt announcement as wrote from is about his coalition government living it would just a one seat majority in the knesset so if we don't have reports from west to islam. less than twenty four hours after the gaza ceasefire came into effect the diplomatic fallout. i'm here to announce my resignation from the role of the defense minister of the state of israel the question which needs to be asked is why i aspire as i'm concerned what happened yesterday yesterday a cease fire together with the entire process of reaching a reassessment with a mouse is a capitulation to terror bush. outgoing defense minister avigdor lieberman also said he disagreed with katter bringing fifteen million dollars into gaza last weekend to pay the salaries of civil servants and the fuel shipments that have increased gaza's electricity moves that are all parts of efforts to ease gaza's

humanitarian situation the mass wasted no time in reacting to lieberman's resignation. this constitutes a victory for the resistance and recognition of defeat and failure by lieberman and the zionist occupation and it is a failure of the policy of siege and devastating wars against the gaza strip this is the result of the palestinian people steadfastness. hamas had already celebrated the earlier ceasefire as a victory for the palestinians to. gaza is of course a large reason for lieberman's resignation but there is no denying that domestic political factors are also at play one israeli media report describes the resignation as the opening salvo of israel's elections the expectation is that the election reset for november next year will be brought forward to what's happening now in israeli politics is a major event because you have the defense minister which is the number two

position in the government at a party in this government has resigned and he's resigned and basically showed his no confidence with the prime minister now it's not going to bring down the government right away it could it could lead to elections but he's showing he's positioning himself to be the opponent and it's and you know the opponent to the right of it and you know what the events of the last few days show is that gaza will remain at the center of israeli politics as long as the situation there remains unresolved stephanie decker al-jazeera west jerusalem. the u.n. say security council is due to vote on thursday about extending its peacekeeping mission in central african republic has rarely been a moment of peace since the conflict began five years ago an alliance of muslim rebels known as the select overthrew present government in two thousand and thirteen a few months later rebel leader michel just a dia was sworn in as interim president but he was forced to resign after fighting

international stage. told parliament that his government is committed to solving the murder and had shown the evidence it had to all interested parties turkey previously said it would cooperate in an international investigation and have called for a un probe us republican senator lindsey graham has described saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin selman as unstable and reliable graham says he and other senators are discussing sanctions against riyadh in the wake of jamal khashoggi killing can be held at has more from washington d.c. . senator lindsey graham has always taken a strident tone when it comes to the death. and the fact that he believes there is more to the story then is being let on by saudi arabia but these comments now going much further and given a lot of weight considering that lindsey graham is a senior republican and very influential foreign policy hot he frequently advises the president as recently as last week we did spot him going into the white house

even though that meeting was not on the official white house schedule now in terms of action and response to the death of jim by this administration it appears to in the eyes of many on capitol hill be dragging its heels it has rescinded the visas of almost two dozen saudi nationals but it has not sanctioned at the highest levels of the saudi government something that many are looking for on capitol hill now in terms of the pressure by lindsey graham he certainly has not only called mohammed bin solomon unstable and unreliable but he also doesn't see the situation being fixed as long as the crown prince is still in charge and as a result he has gone further saying that he sees mohammed bin solomon's leadership as a quote disaster and very difficult to do business. say bangladesh to
