government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline political declaration if i may and by just and there was a deeply personal phenolic 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 bracks a deal emerged on tuesday evening there's been a feeble use 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 of a methodology in negotiations carried out in transparency from the word go and fully in respect of our respective mandates cabinet approval means plans can now 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 her 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 or join and anything other than oppositions have a plan paul brennan al-jazeera westminster. pro-government forces in yemen have poured some offensive against the rebel held city of data if i says it back.

a cease fire with palestinian armed groups which he described as surrendering to terror is abrupt announcement as prime minister benjamin netanyahu government they've just a one seat majority in the knesset every deca reports from west jerusalem. 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 of the mass is a capitulation to terror bush's. 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 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 and apart. he 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 themselves to be the 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 this israeli politics as long as the situation there remains unresolved stephanie decker al-jazeera west jerusalem. the honeyed has this update from gaza where there's widespread skepticism over how long the ceasefire will last. there's a certain style of relief here in gaza an all out war didn't break out this is one of the buildings that were targeted by the israelis it belongs to hamas in the civilian area and people around not only you can imagine the fear. they felt that night when that explosion happened but also their properties get

damaged this is a place that still hasn't recovered from the previous war back in two thousand and fourteen so people here have been extremely worried about how things could develop know how mass on this side has put forward to the people here this cease fire as a political victory that coupled with the news of the resignation of the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman saying that that was actually a political victory and an acknowledgement by the israelis that hamas has. all of them now people are happy that has returned but this still is a certain degree of skepticism. all these talks about a cease fire has been very difficult to reach an agreement over a long term cease fire that's still not set in stone people are enjoying now but

there is a worry that escalation that we so over the past few days might make reaching. a long term agreement more difficult than it already was. his foreign minister says the time is right to move the investigation into the killing of saudi jenna's jamal khashoggi to the international stage. told the parliament that his government is committed to solving the murder and it had evidence it had to all interested parties to he previously said it would cooperate in an international investigation and have called for u.n. probe. yes defense secretary james mattis has been visiting his country's border with mexico where thousands of soldiers have been deployed in this weeks they were sent on the orders of president donald trump just ahead of the midterm elections in a six thousand of them are supposed to prevent a group of asylum seekers from entering the u.s. the so-called migrant caravan is slowly making its way north through mexico hundreds have already reached the city of tijuana on the u.s.

a lack of investor confidence in emerging markets president was forced to request a fifty seven point one billion dollar emergency loan from the i.m.f. in and out attempt to prevent a run on the pace all but the devaluation has put inflation in latin america second largest economy close to fifty percent. many are struggling to cope with the rising cost of food transport and utilities tension has been on the rise on the streets of one side especially since the government. started to implement the austerity measures suggested by the international monetary fund and that's why they believe that out there and that you can see here to prevent protesters from which inquests . inside senate was debated for hours those supporting the government claim reducing the deficit is the only way out for argentina. we have gone from being a powerful nation to an economic warry in one hundred years we have seen far far in

debt restructurings banking crisis is. two hyperinflation is in twenty lines from the i.m.f. and a currency now is thirteen zeros more all of this because of a deficit and spending more than what we have one economy say the government is making emergency cuts to avoid touching social programs really directing spending to those were they cannot count easily road construction hospital construction. school construction and maintenance or less sort of for. infrastructure investments right social infrastructure investments or there's not an absolute cut but they're growing much less than the rest of the government of mali so marcie claims it is trying to get argentina's economy in order but that's of little comfort to the protesters will say that it will come at their expense. yes prosecutors in the trial of. the drug. have asked the judge to throw out the

they were making as well he said that one kilo of cocaine that the cartel bought in colombia for three thousand dollars could then be sold that same kilo for as much as thirty five thousand dollars here on the streets of new york city times that times a tons of cocaine that they were bringing in and you're talking about hundreds of millions of dollars in profits now the defense continues to paint guzman as nothing more than a myth a man they say is being set up by a corrupt mexican government are still in the early stages of this trial a trial that could go on for as long as four months. now with. top stories bush has won the backing of have kept that for drop bricks that dale struck with the european union. step towards a final dail agreement. and punishments for approval. i

firmly believe that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could be negotiated and it was for the cabinet to decide whether to move on in the talks 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 outlined political declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move forward and finalize the deal in the days ahead these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest. pro-government forces in yemen have pause an offensive against the rebel held city of data the fighters aback by the saudi ambassador coalition which is throwing his weight behind another round of un led talks to end the conflict a day that is the main entry point for most food and aid into yemen israel's
