wildfires and the news that in addition to seventy confirmed deaths more than a thousand people are now listed as missing we will be looking at that very grim task of identifying remains and whether in a fire storm of that magnitude if that will even be possible and eight hundred meters below the surface the wreckage of an argentine submarine has been found exactly a year after it disappeared for the relatives of the forty four crew on board confirmation finally of what they feel. are perhaps the beginning of summer. and rebellion on the streets of a rise in petrol prices and. thousands of angry protests this could spell trouble for. the hash tag. with the news grid live on air and. streaming online through you tube facebook live
6:02 pm
in it down to zero dot com and the finger is being pointed squarely at saudi arabia's crown prince for directly ordering the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi it is perhaps the most definitive the most damning finding on the investigation so far mostly because it's come from the cia america's top spy agency so the question is how will this man right react he was president donald trump this was him actually heading to california earlier on saturday he's going to get an update on the wildfires there but before he left he answered questions of the white house on the cia's findings we haven't been briefed yet the cia is going to be speaking to me today we have not been briefed yet as of this fall that we were told that did not play a role we would have to find out what they are we also have a great ally saudi arabia they give us a lot of jobs they give us a lot of business a lot of economic development. they have
6:03 pm
a really big backyard allies to. get on with development and i also take that you know president i have to take a lot of things that you can generate. so we will be talking with the cia later and lots of other. ok we're going to talk more about where the white house goes from here not just with saudi arabia but also the white house his relationship with the intelligence community first his mike hanna with all the details on the cia's findings. in recent days a number of members of congress have demanded that muhammad have been silent be held accountable either by way of tweets or in the case of senator bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate i asked for our level briefing with madness pompei o n g i asked for the comment assumes we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of
6:04 pm
the crown prince of saudi arabia is now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi the sit says according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity the report says in reaching his conclusions the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence including a phone call that the crown prince's brother and ambassador to the u.s. had with the journalist before his murder khaled bin solomon was quick to deny the allegation saying on twitter i never talk to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason i asked the u.s. government to release any information regarding this claim. within hours several of the news organizations including the new york times and the wall street journal were also quoting anonymous officials confirming the report of the cia's finding.
6:05 pm
it is very important it's very significant. what the washington post new york times . c n b c n n other outlets over the last hours. reported that the cia internal assessment now is pointing straight years. in so much as having ordered this operation this has never happened before in the cia will probably will not comment on this kind of report however the washington post wouldn't report this unless they were accurately reporting what the cia they believe the cia said so which is a slight nuance now one can anticipate that the congressional oversight committees will have been briefed or demand to be briefed on this the reports alleging muhammad have been solomon's involvement unlikely to field even though the
6:06 pm
congressional demands that punitive measures be taken against the crown prince and his government mike hanna al-jazeera washington here is rosalyn jordan and washington d.c. to talk through this one high roselyn donald trump on his way to california cold saudi arabia a spectacular ally that in itself says so much doesn't it trying to balance what we're now learning about jamal khashoggi and what he will learn that sainz with this relationship which he just doesn't want to quit. that's right kamahl and it's worth reminding people why donald trump is so keen to maintain this relationship with riyadh one riyadh is considered really the underpinning of the trumpet ministrations efforts to isolate iran because of its nuclear weapons program and because of its efforts to expand its political influence across the greater middle east in order to counter that influence the u.s.
6:07 pm
is trying to use saudi arabia one of iran's most hate it rivals as it were to basically put together a coalition of countries that are not going to let terror han expand its influence who are more important try to develop nuclear weapons the other part of it is economic and this is something that is just as important even though the united states has put a lot of energy into so-called fracking in order to was drilled petroleum within its borders and tried to make itself energy independent the u.s. still imports about ten percent of its annual petroleum use from saudi arabia and so it wouldn't be very very easy to replace that with oil from other countries or even from domestic production just because of the kind of oil that is produced by saudi arabia so when you consider that the energy sector isn't just roughnecks as
6:08 pm
it were getting the oil out of the ground but it's the people who who drive it who ship it on cargo ships who refine it who turn converted into products that consumers around the world use this is all something that leads to jobs and that is something that donald trump tries to base his political popularity on his ability to bring jobs to american workers especially those in the energy sector so even though there's all this pressure and old this evidence suggesting that. the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of jamal khashoggi it's not that easy to persuade the u.s. president that a new much tougher line has to be taken not just with mohammed bin solomon but with the saudi government writ large because of what he would say about the u.s. is view of human rights what about the u.s. relationship or maybe again it's donald trump's relationship with the intelligence community in the united states it seems to be fractious at times someone who
6:09 pm
doesn't want to believe what what they are saying almost. well the president has been criticized almost from the moment he took office for trying to undermine the credibility of the u.s. intelligence community and of u.s. law enforcement for that matter but certainly when the there are so many people within the administration who insist from the vice president mike pence to the secretary of state mike pompei o that evidence has to be gathered by the u.s. and by its allies that the evidence has to be analyzed and interpreted and put into context before they take any actions and when they say that they are prepared to impose things such as sanctions and travel bans and perhaps a look at criminal charges against people in this case it really does make it hard for the president to ignore all of this evidence now the fact that the president is
6:10 pm
on air force one right now headed to the west coast to look at the damage caused by the wildfires doesn't mean that he's not going to have a chance to learn more puts in the cia report he gets a daily intelligence briefing no matter where he is in the world and on air force one will be people who are prepared to give him not just his daily intelligence brief but also to give him more information about the cia's own investigation this work has been ongoing since word first came out at the beginning of october that jamal khashoggi had gone to the consulate in istanbul and never returned and so it's he's going to be getting all of this information the question then come all is what will donald trump do with that information because ultimately he is the president not like my payout not mike pence not a house will the director of the cia not dan coats the director of national
6:11 pm
intelligence it comes down to what donald trump will decide to do about this case. ok so that's roslyn jordan in washington thank you we're moving to istanbul now we'll get an update from tony who's there of course outside the consulate the saudi consulate tony can you update us on developments in the investigation there because it seems is always a new development every every day or every couple of days there. you know there's been this steady trickle of revelations and information coming out from turkey. it's interesting that trump is talking about jobs here they're talking about justice and the cia revelation is something that very much endorses what the turkish government has said almost from day one and this was a premeditated murder they pointed the finger of suspicion quietly at the crown saudi crown prince and this really affirms that what they've been saying is correct because this was far from what the saudis claim a and that hawk killing on the spur of the moment this was a meticulously planned operation to kill an opponent of the saudi stablish ment's
6:12 pm
so it's reaffirm what they've said the latest information that's been coming out now to is concerning how he was killed either by a rope or a plastic bag over his head the newspaper which has been the source of a lot of the turkish government leaks that mr casady was injecting injected with a coagulant and this is suppose that this is because to stop the flow of blood so when his body was dismembered would be less traces of his d.n.a. and there's been a joint saudi and turkish investigation into the killing no d.n.a. traces were found either at the saudi consulate way he was killed or at the consulate general's house so they did a pretty good job of cleaning up but this report reaffirms what the turkish government said but what does that mean at the end of the day because as tom says jobs are important but justice here is something they think is very important also . has
6:13 pm
a quite something thank you tony the saudi consulate in istanbul here is revealing i would have been seeing online to again like i said sunny there's a development every day there online very similar and a lot of outrage as we continue to see as a story develops come all and like you said latest reaction is very very bold a lot of reaction right now and people are outraged calling on the u.s. to hold saudi officials accountable and any no pet. says that they should expel the saudi ambassador to the u.s. immediately khaled bin salon is the brother of the crown prince and for the record the ambassador has left the u.s. for riyadh this happened off of the killing and he is not expected to return now ben rhodes is the former adviser to barack obama he is calling for an investigation and he says that we are faced with the real possibility that trump has had info from his own intel committee that m.p.'s was responsible for murdering a journalist who wrote for the washington post and lines about it all tried to help m.p.'s get past it and brian cox is also an analyst he adds that it's also obvious
6:14 pm
that chunk continues to praise sodje arabia because he has compromising financial ties with them well you heard trump talk about relations between the u.s. and saudi arabia and well since taking office the relationship has grown more personal and some would say favorable towards the crown prince and particularly since the first visit by mohamed bin salon to washington in march and the u.s. president's trip to riyadh in may last year donald trump has expressed personal support for the saudi that blockade on cots and the conference's twenty thirty vision program but he has been silent on the saudi led war in yemen now this clip of ivanka trump in riyadh praising the crown prince has been shed more than eleven thousand times scott dorchen who's the co-founder of the democrats a coalition has been sharing this clip and he's calling it blood money but once again we want to thank the deputy crown prince for his vision his hard work and for
6:15 pm
the flawless execution of two amazing days here in saudi arabia hopefully the first of many many visits to come thank you all so much and have a great night for the washington post global opinions and it's a karin a tia gave a powerful statement a few days ago about jamal khashoggi and this was her answer when asked what she would say to the conference face to face. why. what sort of. country what sort of man do you want to be remembered as not just a king but as a man and if you if he's wanting to be this go down in history because it's great leaders of history there are plenty of men murdered many have gone down in history for those reasons and i think right now the world is looking at him. that going down that path i would love to get your thoughts on the story syndic to get in
6:16 pm
touch with us use the hash tag a.j. news grid or you can just simply message me directly i met him home it thanks for that i tell you what i'm getting a lot of comments already actually particularly looking at the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera and the overriding theme is of course mohamed bin salmond at this this is what i view as a saying it's not me saying this is the view saying of course why they're letting him get away with murder someone here said everyone knows mohammed bin solomon is the commander of that operation and henry saying that he is not above the law let's put some of those thoughts to i guess giorgio cuffy a tough tough year i'm sorry who is the chief executive of gulf state analytics and associate at the middle east institute georgia those comments coming from our viewers there they're basically all saying of course mohammad been summoned to this and a briefing or a report from the cia should be enough you would think to convince the american leadership that that is the case as well do you think that will actually happened. you know that's the big question today haud president trump said that today he will
6:17 pm
be briefed by cia officials we of course don't know how the administration is going to move forward at this point since october to up until this point it seems that the president and those around him including john bolton have been bending over backwards attempting to try to protect mohammed bin solomon from any sort of punishment or any sort of accountability but now that the cia seems to have reached this conclusion it's going to be a much more difficult for the president to continue this approach that he he protects that relationship some much doesn't it we just heard him donald trump a little bit earlier called him a stunning ally and yet you know it's the cyclist eric trump was on fox news recently talking about well you know do we let our whole relationship go because of
6:18 pm
of one motive that mindset. i mean i'm trying to change that yeah there's a very difficult balance that the administration is trying to strike on one hand the white house wants to make it seem as though the u.s. leadership is taking all the necessary steps to hold saudi officials accountable for the journalists killing last month. but at the same time this administration has objectives in the middle east whether we're talking about moving forward with major arms sales that benefit defense firms in the united states or countering the rise of iran as an influential player in the middle east when it comes to all of these strategies saudi arabia has such an important role to play in the administration's vision for the arab world i think it's going to be very difficult for the administration to achieve both of these objectives simultaneously
6:19 pm
what do you think about. and i asked a correspondent about this earlier as well the relationship between the white house and the intelligence community as i said at the start of this usually a white house a president trusts the intelligence community which he has appointed and which works for him implicitly that doesn't seem to be the case here or at least certainly in the past it hasn't been the taste. throughout trump's presidency there has been a narrative about the deep states being opposed to his presidency donald trump as shown some distain for the so called to deep state in america of course today many people in the us are thinking back not long ago when president trump said some things to indicate that he found the leader of russia vladimir putin to be more trustworthy than american intelligence officers you know trump is rather
6:20 pm
unpredictable and i think we're sitting around waiting to see if he makes another comment on to maybe disparage the cia but maybe not maybe he will all take this conclusion very seriously and take action accordingly i'm a little skeptical about that happening but trump is a president who gives us a lot of surprises and we need to wait to see how he responds to these recent developments in the murder case certainly does keep us up to date with surprises doesn't it georgio tough theater from gulf state analytics thank you for your time . always with reminding you of the latest updates page down to zero dot com especially when the cut the story picks up steam as it's doing now our online team they keep it up to date with all the latest developments they put in text there they had video they had social media as well if you just look for jamal khashoggi there's a tag pretty much all over the web site of al-jazeera dot com it'll take you to this page pretty easily. as i said plenty of messages coming through on facebook
6:21 pm
live plenty ways to get in touch with us as well hashtag ajay newsgroup is your first stop if you're using twitter at a.j. english i just read tweeted a tweet which went out just at the start of the show you can reply to that thread and they had our producers looking for your responses there facebook dot com slash al-jazeera as i say the live stream there and this number plus nine seven four five i want triple one four nine that will cover you on telegram and on whatsapp either of those message and platforms if you want to miss it just directly send us any videos or yo picture as well to help us tell the story please do that. now you saw earlier donald trump traveling to california he's going for a firsthand look at the damage caused by the deadliest wildfire in california history the president will touch down in a few hours he is expected to meet five victims and also to tour the city of paradise or at least what is left of it has basically been totally destroyed so far more than seventy people killed but if that other number more than a thousand missing before his arrival donald trump facing heavy criticism as well
6:22 pm
in its heavey interview airing this weekend he was asked about climate change is a factor in the fires he blamed it however on poor forest management all the details now with rob reynolds. climate change has come to california severe drought and santa ana winds a simple spark launches two fires that still have not been stopped the wind fueled flames moved so fast many had to drive through the fire to get out. this driver survived but many more did not trapped in traffic with the fire moving faster than they could an untold number have died calling for help that couldn't get there in time the number of people who are still looking for or an account for has increased to six hundred thirty one and this number increased by five hundred one people now hundreds of volunteers are doing disk through some work looking for the remains of those who couldn't make it out but experts say it's possible many
6:23 pm
will never be found my colleagues are finding profoundly degraded human remains the term of art they use as cream ains went to is the consequence of combustion at high temperature for the thousands who escaped now a waiting game of wonder and worry did their houses survive how are their neighbors and where will they go now in a state already dealing with a severe shortage of housing thick blankets of smoke made air quality hazardous in cities like san francisco and sacramento a change in climate and more severe wildfires what california governor jerry brown called the new abnormal rob reynolds al-jazeera just want to go back to that number of missing people because it really is extraordinary more than a thousand of them now as i say they are officially listed as missing. but we were
6:24 pm
just thinking about this earlier you would have to expect a good number if not close to all of them would have perished just by virtue of the fact that in twenty eighteen letting people know where you are is a part of everyday life as an i thought it was just good to remind you about facebook for example which has its crisis response page you go to facebook dot com slash crisis response and you click on the one if you were to be in one of these fire areas and then obviously i wouldn't do this but if you were there you can click to say i'm safe that lets all your network know about it and also on this page there's just a whole lot of information pictures and videos to keep you up to date with what's going on there so you know just a point to make that you would hope and expect that people who were caught up in the fives and had survived would use maybe a tool like this or this social media or anything like that just to get in touch if you are in california you haven't done something like this maybe not a bad idea you know these images coming out of california are absolutely stunning and frightening and there's a picture gallery as you see it down to zero dot com with some of the most powerful of those image images do have a look for yourself because sometimes i think
6:25 pm
a still image has just as much impact as the moving ones look at the incredible. there isn't in pictures man you actually just at the top in the navigation. and you can head there at the california wildfires. now to france where thousands of people wearing yellow safety jackets have been venting their anger at president emanuel macron protests in fact got so violent one person has been killed forty seven have been injured all up we're talking more than one hundred thousand protesters taking part in two thousand demonstrations and roadblocks in fact across the country according to the interior ministry there angry at the rising cost of fuel then demonstrators accusing him on your mccrone of abandoning the little people just in case you didn't know diesel is actually the most commonly used car fuel in france its prices increased nearly twenty three percent in the last year so i thought we'd have
6:26 pm
a look at the google map because i you know use these sorts of things every day and when you put the overlay of traffic on. ok so green roads looking pretty good but it's actually interesting the closely using them in and you start to see i might have to zoom in just a little more there you go the route. there they come there's a little bit of delay between my i pad and what's going out on a there we go now you see you start to see all these roadblocks right across france all around particularly leading in to the city center so we're going to look at paris now because that is where neve barkha is reporting from. there have been several small pockets of process surfacing on the streets of paris in different parts of the city similar taney asli over the course of the day here or the seans elisei the main artery running through the french capital several hundred demonstrators have gathered as you can see the police are out in force to try and make sure that the streets of the capital remain open and that cars are allowed to continue driving on the roads according to the interior ministry this is one of
6:27 pm
a thousand demonstrations that have been taking place across mainland france involving as many as fifty thousand people there are two things uniting the demonstrators nationwide firstly these arrests the demonstrators wearing it's very much the uniform of protests and secondly the growing anger and frustration at the increase of the price of diesel and petrol that in some areas has gone up by as much as twenty percent. i'm wearing this you know vest for the simple reason there are too many taxis in disputes actually simply kind of turn around eight we just keep getting tags and they getting nothing back but you know. this is a very difficult one for president to manual micro and he is sticking to his guns in believing that this environmental tax as it's been described is a vital to improve the health and the ecology of frons but not everyone agrees people believe the big business and heavy industry should be taxed first rather than ordinary people but he may need to sit up and listen because some of his
6:28 pm
political rivals on the far right and the far left are throwing their support behind this movement and they've been accused of politicizing it but in my new micron also knows that support for him in the polls has been sliding he's watching these demonstrations very very closely and he has to make sure most certainly that these demos don't snowboard any further. ok reveal how to deal with smugglers online much of it actually started online kemal news of the protests spread so fast on social media with new meeting points popping up days before it actually started and online people are using the hash tag yellow vests and seventeen november in french now the yellow vests movements come from a high visibility jacket worn by the motorists in the country and has no identified leader or political affiliation and this facebook page triggered those demonstrations with almost twenty five thousand followers people are angry at the
6:29 pm
rising cost of diesel and petrol across the country and we heard from one man at the protest. resource industry to this messages about the events that are happening today the yellow vests is a move that by this is started as a protest against the rise of the price of oil at the end it extended to broader issues because of the politics of michael that is not what he promised back then it was done today the people have had enough and online many are showing footage of what is currently taking place on the ground and in some cases it has turned violent this clip said by a local news outlet shows a man driving into a police officer before being stopped and pulled out of his vehicle and critics say that the rising fuel prices affect workers who depend on cars to travel for their jobs in particular to the countryside here says one percent of the wealthiest has seen their purchasing power increase and the poorest has seen them drop the speed
6:30 pm
has talked a rift between the so-called city elites and also the rule poor in france where in my name of paul has been called the president of the rich because of his tax breaks for business of pictures like these are getting a lot of attention right now across as you can see they're saying get out of here and others showing pictures of how the roads have just been brought to a standstill because of the traffic. and politicians are also getting involved to the far right leader marine le pen has been encouraging the movement on twitter she says the government shouldn't be afraid of french people who come to express their revolts and do it in a peaceful fashion. i'm calling for a higher turnout for a larger participation of the people after my voters the members of my party all my supporters to take part in these protests well if you are currently in france we want to hear from you keep sending us your pictures or your videos if you are currently at those protests is the hash tag. thank you reveal
6:31 pm
a couple of questions coming in on the hashtag actually on twitter from lauren mulcahy who is watching in south africa hi lauren she's asked what repercussions will all of this is cause shoji of course will this have on the saudi arabian monarchy could it have any impact on the current embargo on qatar they would have liked to put these to our guests. a little bit earlier loren but i think it's safe to say that the saudi remark you makes its own decisions about what it will do as far as succession and any changes there and the embargo on kosovo the blockade on cutter there was some suggestion at some stage that maybe if the united states said well if you want us to support you if you still want us to do business with you they may have to be some concessions on the blockade of qatar was mooted as one of them it's all conjecture at this point and we really do have to wait and see until donald trump gets his briefing from the cia which he said he would be getting on board air force one as he traveled from washington to california so perhaps when he lands perhaps after is dealt with the initial issue of the wildfires on the ground we may hear something more for him later in the day hashtag a.j.
6:32 pm
news that your questions your comments do send them in. the news great if you're watching us on facebook live i've got an extra story for you now you know you might find based things painful but there is actually healing power in that van and our friends at a.j. plus have that story and then later and argentine submarine is found a year after it went missing we'll look at where it was located and how the troops loved ones are coping with such devastation. hallow overnight rain made it so felt in iran and this system and this is a morris a cold front disappearing eastwards and sas woods is still fairly active that's what it left on the western side of iran the coast more or less nearly fifty millimeters there is a bit of a gap for the zone see something else happening in turkey and around the caucasus in the black sea all active all with the potential for thunderstorms very windy
6:33 pm
weather as well this all creeping still easter to live on sunday night and monday that's what it will do breaking out in thunderstorms across the border in northern saudi arabia spreading the cloud with some great potential think through rock to western side of iran so clearly once again things might be temporarily settled there or stay that way bit of a northerly breeze picking up dust in the n.t. quarter will go up to meet those incoming thunderstorms and that means quite dirty weather i think for northern saudi jordan and sutton iraq otherwise quiet ish jumping sas as we always do to southern africa as a hint now with some clouds forming of a few big showers in the suit to the eastern side of south africa not much there in the foreclosure notice is cloud in the green of rain which is further north but nonetheless not big open blue skies.

6:39 pm
been bringing. parts of france to a standstill so they're trying to block off roads in protest i would just keep a little eye on this is you just get a feeling this could to tip over into something a little more violent there has been violence today there have been injuries there's been one death today as well so just keeping an eye on those pictures out of fronts there will be no winners in the u.s. china trade war that's the declaration from china's president who also says protectionist actions are shortsighted and doomed to fail she didn't thing addressed the apec conference a stager pacific economic cooperation in papa new guinea while twenty one members of a pygame to improve relationships and trade the world's two largest economies have been engaging in a tit for tat trade war this year so paul. resorting to old practices such as protectionism unilateral ism will not result problems but also add to the uncertainties to the global economy history tells us taking the road of
6:40 pm
confrontation whether in the form of a cold war open war or trade war will produce no win it. we have great respect for president. and great respect for china but in the president's words china's take advantage of the united states for many many years. and those days are over. as the president said and china has tremendous barriers they have tremendous tariffs and as we all know their country and gauges and quotas forced technology transfer intellectual property third industrial subsidies on an unprecedented scale . and on the sidelines of that summit in papa new guinea came another announcement xi jinping says he intends to visit north korea next year south korea made that announcement after president moon j. in held a bilateral meeting with china's president she's trip to north korea would be the first by a chinese president hu jintao went there in two thousand and five the mayor of the mexican border town of says he expects the influx of central american migrants to

6:47 pm
any type of negligence was involved relatives are hoping to know why was it possible that water and turned the snorkel area of the submarine which is what cost the initial fire the minister of defense said that it was difficult for any type of extraction to happen because of the place where the submarine is located and he also said that it's difficult for argentina because they do not have the resources in order to carry out an operation like that so what now for the some of the loved ones we saw them in the styles you support there the absolute grief which they must be going through. well that's correct we have spoken to some of the relatives some of them are on the ship that has been searching for the some one for this past four months and they're no way trying to absorb the pain the despair they're very angry too they want to know as i said before what happened what went wrong they were expecting their loved ones to arrive
6:48 pm
to the city of my block about three hundred kilometers away from here and that never happened and that's why the government said today that they're committed to finding the truth they said that they will support any type of judicial investigation that is ongoing that may evolve not only members of the current administration but also of the previous administration of the government of former president cristina khurshid because that's when the submarine was referred of aged . to raise the bar updating us from buenos aires thank you for that. we were looking at paris a moment ago i think it's worth another look actually because it is well it's gone quiet and this shot has not but there is clearly tension between the protesters in the yellow hive is vast and the police on the streets of paris as well if you're not familiar with the story these are protesters and they're right across france hundreds of thousands of them at about two thousand spots across the country protesting about the rising prices and feel particularly that of diesel and they're
6:49 pm
trying to bring parts of france to a standstill by blocking off the roads and they represent themselves if you like by wearing the yellow hive is jackets you just get the feeling as i said little bit earlier that this could tip over there are a lot of angry people out there there has been a death and some injuries today as well i think it was sixteen injuries and around forty or fifty light injuries they were described as skinny by the interior ministry and it is well it's about it's quarter to five in the evening there and passed as well so we're just going to have to keep an eye on this one as they say. a possibility that this could boil over on the saturday protests going on in paris. we're going to grab another break he can but once again for the current for his book lives are about to see the story of a syrian graffiti artist with a mission and then far as he would sport another tennis tournament is added to the town and the players that don't like it they say it's all too much spoke let's have

looking at sports with a bit more tennis just for a bit someone tell me though the tennis season is ending we know that because the men's a.t.p. finals are going on right now in london we already know who is going to finish the year at the top of the rankings that's novak djokovic it's the players have now been turning their attention to the future. the a.t.p. have officially announced a new ad that will kick off the men's season in twenty twenty eight c. cup as it's called will see teams from twenty four countries compete over ten days they'll be a total prize fund of more than fifteen million dollars the event is set to rival a revamped davis cup. but not everyone's happy about it here's what the world number one had to say i honestly don't think it's good for the sport. more job opportunities for for players yes but i think it's not
6:53 pm
sustainable in the world it will be what happened there we will have to average events just over such as i did with different. different cups. different events we have a long season in all sports and we've just adding events and we kind of have to try to focus on quality rather than quantity. the issues that a season is way too long that's the station but also the before so that we play for a little months a year that's that's ridiculous so no no other professions for those that want to find out more about this we're joined by tennis writer for the new york times crist or clary in boston so i knew a.t.p. tournaments in a rebound davis cup what's going on. well it's another tennis turf war enough our first it's a difficult situation it's
6:54 pm
a little bit ironic that novak djokovic is complaining about the situation because really it's the top players who could make it make a change here where you've got is a situation where there's been a week that was cut for a number of years people some market opportunity and now they're trying to fill this with a couple different team events really the players of all the cards and the players are the ones who can make a difference and and right now we're in a situation where we're looking at a couple of years of having almost identical team events being played within six weeks of each other which isn't that for anybody i think. is there a feeling among the organizers that few events are more attractive to viewers. if you know what it is i think people have looked at the ryder cup and golf in particular and and seen a great deal of success there over the years with that event and with the world cup and soccer how to keep getting bigger and bigger and they want the same thing for tennis and it has actually once had something that was very strong the davis cup in its early years it's been around for a hundred eighteen years now you know the first half of this existence it was
6:55 pm
a major major event right up there with the majors in terms of public interest and player passion and over the last couple of decades really has lost momentum so there's a market niche there to fill out think people feel like because it seems success in other sports and tennis can have the same thing but i don't think the way to do it is to have three kind of mediocre events or potentially you know good events what you need is one great event that everybody gets behind it is possible there right now it's not going to happen for at least a couple more years but the players don't have to play and then you know and people trying to do that. you know it's not mandatory not right now the differences in terms of the davis cup is that the a.t.p. event will offer ranking points of the seven hundred fifty points to the winning team to divide up based on a plan that are going to put together when they say the event which is set for january two thousand and twenty so there is an incentive for people to play the right now is not going to be an obligation the davis cup has got to look at the
6:56 pm
linkage meaning that if the players play davis cup they're eligible for the olympics right now you need that to be able to play and that's a prestigious tournament so that's a good mental leverage but only one of those events will have the ranking points and that's important to the players and before we go i just want to ask you about how backtalk that shaggy appearing to play finals are what incredible year perhaps yet was the first guys if your rankings were started in one thousand seventy three will finish the year at number one after having been outside the top twenty during the years so it's been a tremendous second half of the year for him i think he's back where it belongs he was playing wonderful tennis obviously two years ago had smelled of problems problems in the said personal life he's put it all back together again and he's the number one player in the world right now but it's an interesting time fair because you got some young players starting to make a move. but a few minutes ago. alexander vera upset roger federer and semifinals of the a.t.p. finals in london and he's just twenty two years old and you have a current version of who won the paris tournaments of before this young other young
