victor lieberman resigned on wednesday over cease fire agreements with armed groups and gaza a legislative election back in two thousand and fifteen allowed netanyahu to scrape together a coalition of five right wing parties together they control sixty one of the knesset some hundred twenty seats majority of just one of the don't even brought his yisrael beiteinu party into the coalition a year later boosting the ruling majority by six seats now that he's walked out of it as you know his majority is once again wife offend and all the party leaders within the coalition are pushing for an election so joining me now is bug a senior such fellow at the think tank chatham house where he specializes in middle eastern affairs and also with regents university in london thank you very much for coming in to speak to us so with no one seat majority in parliament how how precarious a position is netanyahu in at the moment given these words over two very very shaky because believe those one of the qualities the jewish home early called for were
6:01 am
this conference tomorrow morning in the split screen for instance there is a sort of kind of putting them through what they're going to say because there might actually who will decide to leave the coalition so the might not be a majority but to morrow morning and you pull into did with the if you're doing that you'll excuse the security. that's what we that's what we had netanyahu say earlier on today that general election in israel was scheduled for november next year it looks as though that is going to be brought forward how soon might we see an election and in israel the most likely date somewhere in april it's going to be in the spring and the speech today with nathaniel was a typical nathanial speech cooling basically the you can you can see it is the first complaining speech in this coming election it gave reason entire biography the and how he's working day and night for elections it doesn't want to
6:02 am
root for one member of the majority because in those then he depends on every single member within the sixty one coalition not only from the power of these but only wishin is is own party the sum of their mother quite precarious so i don't think it probably will go forward action because he has no choice but is a lot of his plate also in the terms of investigation of all co-option is wife seven attorney always facing called some people very closely and the police just commended it to to indict them for the submarine affair what's known as the four thousand so if you score it's a few issues to do that you would like to win the election for the member aleutian and you know yet despite that netanyahu is quite the political survivor isn't he if there is another general election he will probably go up against his partner as ex-partners maybe the likes of avigdor lieberman of taliban it how might these
6:03 am
corruption charges affect his political prospects it isn't of course depends also if there is indictment and there's going to be a major issues in the in the electioneering sloth's the next the next few months the opposition and not only the opposition those members of the coalition will bring good time and again you know the like for different officials going on. some of implication both other things to do but this is easily politics and policies winning mo in the last few elections more than one quarter of the votes so in order to build the coalition you need the cool two just to get to have of the supporters so the next few months are going to be. all right yes it looks like an eventful few months ahead possibly unpredictable as well thank you very much as the medical branch of france regent university was more so ahead for you on this news hour from london and uncertain future the u.k.'s prime minister warns there any attempt to

6:05 am
the apec summit he'd been hosting and trying to leave without taking questions on its dramatic failure but leaders are not being able to agree on even the plan this language for an agreement leaders statement the apec summit took place behind closed doors so why the failure to get all twenty one to agree with your writing is as the chair you are the reason not to be able to achieve a community where you have almost twenty one economies agreeing to the into all the issues that we have discussed and it is not the frustration but it is what we all know haitians summit thank you managed to publish something even if it's pretty bland agrees they haven't this thought why not eyes that were published that are now there were lives in there this afternoon prime minister chairman statement is not the same as a communique you must be disappointed there's been that going there's been german statement in the past a big maybe i'm so used to check that with this secretary in fact there's been an agreed leader statement after every apec summit since one nine hundred ninety three
6:06 am
this is not the way conferences are supposed to end and this will be a huge disappointment to the hosts pap and you get particularly the prime minister . it was an argument over trade that caused the break down the trade disputes between the united states and china is so serious that apec leaders couldn't find any common ground they could put into words there are differing visions on particular elements in regards to trade and those prevented there from being full consensus on the communique document the leaders agreed that instead of a traditional leaders to ration it would issue they would. leave it there and sort of in this chair. state regional rivalry with clear leaders from australia new zealand japan and the united states announced millions of dollars to help bring reliable electricity to the majority of people in papua new guinea that scene as

6:08 am
a result of these fires. it's really been day to day for a lot of evacuees just finding some place so sleep some place to eat and making sure their basic needs are taken care of that rain that you mention not only is it a concern for flooding and mudslides it's also a concern for people who are living outside in tents like what you see behind me here i'm at the parking lot of a wal-mart where a lot of people have set up camp to try to come together and find a place to stay and with that rain coming there's concern that this area is in a flood zone and it could be quite miserable moving forward but a lot of people here want to say they found a sense of community and we're going to talk to christian walters who is one of the people who ended up here christian can you tell us how you did come to find this. in the most part looking for fema and hearing a lot of talk about how well
6:09 am
a very been taking care of your and swear we picked this spot so you were evacuated from the fire zone you came here in a hurry you found a sense of community how have people been treating you here we've seen a lot of volunteers walking around and couldn't be better i mean they're giving us everything what it everything kind of toiletry blanket food we need when it comes to dinner time if you want pizza chinese food spanish whatever you just waiting to come around if you need any kind of food you want people from cook in restaurants whatever what do you think in long term i know they want people to leave here why is it that you feel more comfortable here than going to a shelter and what are your plans long term. don't really have a full long term goal of yet and as far as the rain coming in on the sea i'd rather be here all doors waiting on the rain and being a little bit of smoke and being in a building where viruses and staph infection can pass around i would certainly not quarantine myself on purpose so you prefer a tent to a crowded area with a lot of people kind of it's
6:10 am
a tough situation. i'm not sure where the best choice is for everybody whether to be. and shelter where you could get sick or out here but i think for me this is the best choice and lot of other people out here. will christian thank you so much for sharing this story and good luck to you moving forward we were at a shelter earlier today where people less healthy than christian had found refuge many elderly many people with medical conditions and what christian was referring to is the fact that a lot of people there had gotten sick with gastrointestinal issues of the norovirus and it spread quickly with so many people in close quarters they seem to have got it under control by kind of corn teaming the people who are really sick but they're relying on a lot of volunteer medical help a lot of volunteers for food and so on and really the question and the concern about what's going to happen all these people long term and how long these intense
6:11 am
volunteer efforts can continue to be sustained myriam a very challenging and difficult situation there thank you very much from chico california kristen salumi want to turn to political developments now florida's outgoing governor rick scott has been declared the winner of a hotly contested race for a seat in the u.s. senate a recount was ordered for the recent midterm vote between scott and democratic incumbent bill nelson election officials say the republican won just over fifty percent of the bonnet with ten thousand will votes than his opponent britain's prime minister has faced more criticism of a deal to withdraw the country from the european union dominate rob the form of breck's a minister who resigned over the draft agreement said it was fatally flawed he says he'll continue to support a reason may call on her to change course and demand more concessions from the e.u. may could face a leadership channel challenge in the next few days but insists attempts to oust her would be pointless. well a change of leadership at this point isn't going to make the negotiations any easier and it's not going to change the parliamentary arithmetic what it will do
6:12 am
what it will do is bring in a degree of uncertainty that's uncertainty for people and their jobs what it will do is mean that is a risk that actually we delay the negotiations and that's a risk that wrecks it gets frustrated and i gather has the latest now from outside the house of parliament care in london. it's been a tough week the prime minister to resign may but she is standing her ground doubling down on the what she says is the best option for the u. k. to leave the european union how would draw a deal she says is the rights one for the country to choose meantime she confirms. that she would be going to brussels in the coming days to meet with the european commission. to finalize those little details that have made this particular negotiation so fraught in the meantime there is still the issue of
6:13 am
all the opposing voices that are within not just her government but her own party to get all those resignations that took place last week now there are a group of m.p.'s who are trying to collect enough letters to trigger off a vote of confidence in may they need to get forty eight of those letters and if that happens then that will go ahead and that will cause even more volatility within the government at this particular time the meantime the opposition leader jeremy called in the head of the labor party came out and said that he was not happy with the woods drawled deal and that his government his party would be voting against it what he really wants however and what the leadership of been tentatively pushing towards is another general election over how much success they would have with that is debatable they have consistently been behind the conservative party by
6:14 am
a few points jury this year but in terms of the other voices within his own party about the possibility of second referendum a so-called people's vote he said that now was not the time to have but that could be an option quite possibly for the future. president has called for a more unified europe. after meeting germany's chancellor to commemorate victims of war my crown and i'm going to reset the memorial in. used to be a profession god house until it was rededicated as a memorial for the victims of war twenty five years ago. we have a choice between repeating the errors of history or to examine the profound consequences of build a europe which is much more vicious and open minded discussing your linked with the other regions of the world. so i had for you on the program residents of mexico's

al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and life moves on and online. welcome back a quick look at top stories now u.s. president donald trump says he hasn't listened to recordings of the murder of saudi journalist marcus shoji as they all too graphic the u.s. government is expected to release a report into the writers killing on cheers day. this year's apec summit has broken out without agreement it's the first time leaders at the asia pacific economic cooperation summit could not agree on a final communique benjamin netanyahu was implored his coalition partners not to
6:19 am
bring down the government he was speaking after hours of talks aimed at saving his ruling coalition which has been left with a one seat majority in the knesset. complex security situation and journey a period like you don't topple the government during a period like this you don't go to elections it is irresponsible we still have another year before election we are in the midst of the campaign and it's the middle of a campaign you don't abandon in the middle of a campaign you don't play politics the security of the state is beyond policy. i want to bring you more now on the case that speech. saying she is a political expert at the truman national security project was a former legislative affairs adviser in the obama administration she joins us now from washington thank you very much for speaking to us and i start by asking you
6:20 am
about the implications of the cia's conclusions so far. so the cia is a nonpartisan and cities so officially it's not politically related to the trump administration as some of the other agencies would be where he has the ability to afford. a cabinet secretary and so on and so forth it's a nonpartisan organization and so they came to the conclusion that it's highly likely that mohamed bin so mine ordered the killing. because of internal dynamics within saudi arabia and court and also with who with all right and yet of course we're waiting for the official u.s. report on tuesday that's going to be closely watched by we have already seen president trump and those others within the administration like the national
6:21 am
security adviser john bolton hailing saudi arabia as a crucial strategic ally is an important trading partner and they are likely to continue protecting the saudis. i think it's important to delineate between m.b.'s as a leader and saudi as a country and an ally for the u.s. saudi relationship is certainly important but we've seen muhammad been sold on extremely reckless on the international stage and has caused a number of regional instability we see that with the war in yemen we see that with the blockade against qatar we now see it with. the incident we saw it last year when he kidnapped hariri from lebanon and so he i think is really proving proving himself to be a liability to the united states and we don't need to have been sold to be in power in order to purchase saudi oil or to have saudi arabia as a country purchase u.s. arms which i don't know trump has made clear over and over again but right but he's
6:22 am
not he might have made that point clear but he's definitely not making the distinction that you described about separating m.b.'s from the rest of the saudi leadership. right so i think at this point you know it's very clear that jared questioner and m.b.'s have a very strong relationship and also donald trump has been a huge proponent of m.d.s. up until this incident and so understandably kind of reluctantly. he's rather reluctant to start breaking away from his previous messaging but i do think it's important to note that the trump administration president trump himself has started to to try to dissipate or to the relationship between jared questioner and m.p.'s saying that they're just a couple of two young guys that they don't really know each other that well and that is a noticeable shift in rhetoric behind totally backing him up one hundred percent
6:23 am
and we already have heard from some house democratic leadership including adam schiff who will be the new chairman of the house intelligence committee in the next congress earning in january that he intends to diligently go after m.b.'s and look into this and so i don't think this is an issue that's going away any time soon we've also heard republican senators on the other side of the aisle in the other chamber calling out mohammed bin solong for his recklessness senator corker has done that for a long time and so there's clearly some significant division even within the republican party itself about how to approach m.p.'s going forward have to see what congress does next thank you very much both of us saying for joining us there from washington. and we want to bring you some news just in relating to yemen in the who's the rebels that saying that they all holding drug in myside attacks against saudi arabia the u.a.e. and yemeni allies this is according to the reuters news agency as sounding
6:24 am
coalition has been battling the who sees in the country's civil war but the who sees of released a statement saying they are holding attacks and are ready for board a cease fire if the coalition quote wants peace much of the recent fighting has centered on the rebel held city of a day when most of yemen's food and medicine poss is through so we'll stay across any developments for you. well now hundreds of people in the mexican border city of tijuana have been protesting against the arrival of asylum seekers from central america who are trying to cross into the u.s. challenging what we produce it's not pro invade it is the protesters are also being the government to prevent the asylum seekers from staying in the city alleging that street gang members are traveling with them i do joe castro's stadium that's being used as a shelter in tijuana in mexico just on the border with us tell us about the opposition
6:25 am
the protests the general reception have received there until. sure mariyam the protests atmosphere where we were this morning was ten schipa were angry they were driven there by fear of the people around me the members of. the caravan of asylum seekers from central america who have arrived in here want to in numbers upwards of three thousand and as you can see in the shelter these are women children families who are resting their beneath a tarp this is as much protection from the elements that they will foreseeable we have for the near future. a very different atmosphere from the protests of this morning in fact that anti demonstrators which numbered about three hundred they marched from a landmark in the city center to this destination and were held back by police barricades in fact there are still some protestors outside the walls of the shelter
6:26 am
at this moment and it was a very fearful atmosphere for the families who are inside they stayed behind the walls were women and children were back as far away from the entrance as they could be and speaking to the men in the fathers they said that they did not want violence they were going to do their very best to ignore those chants of invaders. minerals etc and not instigate any violence but they also say that if they were attacked they were willing to protect themselves and their families so that's where we are at now it's a very tense situation in tijuana some of it is stirred up by the city's own mayor who has said that. the migrants are lazy that there are pot smokers and we saw even some of that picked up by u.s. president donald trump we tweeted earlier today that this is invaders and echoed the mayor of key want to sentiments so what we have here are people who are
6:27 am
rejecting that scription of themselves they say they're here looking for a better lives for their children and nothing else marian thank you very much will the latest from tijuana heidi castra. our police chief from around the world of met in dubai to elect a new interpol president after the formally hallway was detained in china may went missing while on a trip to china in september of say he's being investigated for corruption but man's wife says his detention is for political reasons interpol secretary general told the meeting that man whose term was due to end in two thousand and twenty could no longer serve as president on the seventh of october we have been receiving the resignation of our former president mr manning from the people's republic of china the same day we have been receiving no official information from the ministry of public security of the people's republic of china. our former president is the man is not a delegate of the of of china or for the organization for interpol anymore which
6:28 am
solves a little technical but again that automatically leads to the fact according to our rules that he is not the president anymore well joining me in the studio is bruno min he's a senior policy adviser at human rights organization trials thank you very much for speaking to us so first of all were you surprised by interpol's appointment as a russian official as its head. well we were aware of. the there were a number of people in the running to become the president of the organization so it's no surprise that mr procope truck might have been appointed to the president of the organization. we we have some concerns about. the president because being a russian delegate to the reason that russia has in the past been well known for abusing its system of fusions. now of course this follows the resignation of former
6:29 am
president nang hallway we were just hearing about in there who is being investigated by the chinese authorities what are your concerns about his disappearance and interpol's action or the lack of it in response well in relation to monks disappearance and the impact of that disappearance first we need to appreciate what kind of organization interpol is and secondly what kind of role the president has interpol is not a police force in itself but it's an organization that facilitates cooperation between police forces across the world and the president of the organization acts more like a figurehead of the organization rather than overseeing the day to day running of the organization it's a figurehead very much like dots. in terms of the impact of the disappearance of long way on the organization itself we have doubts about whether
6:30 am
that's has impacted on the state's day running however there have been some concerns about how interpol have responded to. the disappearance so a trial has been campaigning for in support of more compliance with international human rights standards and it sets a bad example i think the way that they have responded to the disappearance by simply appearing to accept the so-called. as a nation of the president without seemingly wealth verifying whether it was given consensual and there is a remarkable lack of transparency around of around his disappearance why the deafening silence from interpol interpol is a general rule just from fair trials their own experience of working highlights in the misuse of red notices. we have a constructive relationship with the organization but at the same time we find that there is a distinct lack of transparency in many areas so it's difficult to find out for
6:31 am
certain how you operate in terms of for example how they check their. requests read notices for example we find it difficult to get clearance from in relation to various aspects of political i think it might in the way you organize so there is even that level there's a lack of transparency. just. there's a great deal of secrecy perhaps in terms of the way they function yes i mean that's understandable i think given that it is a policing organization but at the same time interpol has been doing a lot of work in order to improve its systems and how it's manage the system of red notes and diffusion and it would be nice if they could be more transparent about what they do and how they do things so that's to the extent that they're making changes and prudence we do know about them as well well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on the story with us burnham and senior policy adviser for fair trials thank you now it's called the blue heart of europe the balkans have the
