all the time despite who these promises fighting is said to be continuing on the ground as usual for more mamet are joins us live now from djibouti is it a cease fire really. well lauren what the whole thing is offside is that they were going to stall brawl not hogs and ballistic missiles that there was sending across the border from the south and parts of yemen into so did a bia on the united arab emirates and they're saying that is where they are out of the moment and they're ready for a wider ceasefire if this so the democratic coalition are ready for peace of course the draft resolution that's been distributed by britain at the united nations deals with the issue of secession of hostilities would basically means a stop to the fighting are not a tom to peace talks the draft resolution also deals with another key issue when it

comes to the issue of delivery of aid of course the port of the day that is vital it is a lifeline for millions of yemenis who need aid but aid just being delivered to the pool alone is not going to cover it for the humanitarian community what they need is the un blocking over wolves that have been broke cut off by the east and the. peace talks become even more probable that what is happening is both sides are trying to gain more territory which is causing the recent clashes particularly in the last two days that we've witnessed in the data. all that are there any assurances that the peace talks will be different from the previous ones . when he has the last round of peace talks that will be held in geneva did not happen or collapsed because the hold is did more tanabe what they had cited then was that they were not allowed to leave

the country by so that it be a which controls the country's airspace and led to their collapse what we are seeing now is western powers singing from the same hymn sheet. speaking. about the need for peace talks honest top to the conflict awful conflict in yemen that has seen tens of thousands of. people dying now we we're also seeing us to asia where martin griffith the u.n. special envoy is talking about traveling actually with the representatives of the filthies to sweden to ensure that they are arriving there something. who these are saying is something that will concede it so more than ever before we're seeing a big push from the international community that's also been exacting pressure on so that it be on the united arab emirates to allow peace talks to happen so they're looking more likely than ever before my minister thank you very much indeed. still

ahead. the chairman of one of the wells largest comic has is arrested for lying about his salary. sri lanka's parliament meets again to try to oust a disputed prime minister. hello again welcome back well here across parts of china we are seeing an increase of rain over the next few days we do have a line of showers just off the coast but if you look at what's going to be happening in the interior that area of rain really begins to expand as we move from tuesday as well as into wednesday so make its way to the north as well as over here towards the east so for shanghai expect to see more rain in your forecast for the temperature there of about fifteen degrees but still not looking too bad down here towards hong kong about twenty seven degrees there but for manila we are watching

a storm passing across parts of mindanao and those feeder bands are expected to bring some rain showers into your forecast as we go towards mid week india you're still seeing quite a bit of a rain down here towards the south we did you see one storm passing through but now we're seeing a lot of activity with a little bit of circulation here in the indian ocean bring some rain showers here for parts of sri lanka twenty degrees and rainy for colombo maybe about twenty nine by the time we make our way towards wednesday up towards the north new delhi really not looking too bad for you you finally into the mid twenty's see about twenty seven degrees as your forecast high and then very quickly over here across the arabian peninsula we are looking at some showers just over here towards the northeastern part of saudi arabia but for doha it is going to be a partly cloudy day with a temperature of about twenty nine to greece. on currency because of the breaks it in the game there's a complicated draw deal of the table we'll break it down that's really what it

means for people living in the u.k. m.b.e. you plus why saudi arabia wants to slam the brakes on oil production. counting the cost on al-jazeera. they're going to run to the top stories here now to syria saudi arabia's king solomon has heaped praise on his judiciary in his first public comments since the murder of jamal khashoggi journalist was killed and dismembered in the istanbul

consulate last month funding the gulf nation into one of its worst international crises in decades. meanwhile senior republicans in the u.s. are demanding action to get saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound on u.s. media reports say the cia has identified him as ordering the killing but president trump says such conclusions are present sure. the u.n. special envoy to yemen has welcomed the hoofy rebels decision to stop drone and missile strikes against the saudi led coalition the rebels say they're ready for a broader ceasefire if the coalition quote wants peace. we're turning now to our top story the merger of saudi journalists. have been more revelations in the chekist media about the matter in three reports that nineteen calls were made from istanbul consulate to saudi arabia on the day of the incident and joins us live from istanbul as we want details emerged in these latest media reports on it. what we have seen today in the newspapers is some details about what how what has

been announced by the turkish authorities like a weeks ago so in terms of broad lines there was nothing new but in terms of the tales we have for instance some details that contradict the the the official narrative of the south of saudi arabia the latest narrative that they have brought and announced to the world that for instance jamal hussle ji was. received by those fifteen people to in order to conduct a negotiation with him so to convince him to return to saudi arabia but the details of what has been revealed today from the recordings show that he has been treated harshly from the first minute when he entered in section a where the visas are processed four men received him four men members of the hit squad they received in that section and one of them grabbed his hand and tried to pull him actually pulled him to the section b. where the office of the council is and he tried to refuse that and told him mind

yourself and don't put me away who are you and that's when the harsh treatment started and the shouting and according to the revelations the leaks. other men joined in the join the team a total of seven voices were. talked about in the leak some of them have been recognized and compared with with the by the security of all it is here one of them is the voice of national muslim clothes security aid of course. and prince mohammed with the man as he was the one who told him out. right away in section eight when he entered he told him the hour of reckoning costs come for the hour of the account has come to you and then he began to insult him also sounds of torture well described in the leaks today very very very painful sounds of torture were described so this shows that the turkish authorities still have more to show and

that the content of the recordings have not yet been completely revealed to the world and also it's a it's a way of putting much more pressure on the saudis and giving much more weight and momentum to the story to the case that has been of is now being discussed in the united states security in the white house and it comes at a crucial time when the white house president and his aides are discussing and trying to come to a conclusion to determine who really gave the order to the his squad to kill. thank you very much britain's prime minister says have breaks it plan is best for jobs as she battles officials from her own party who want to out trees may as told business leaders that has strategy on exiting the european union is the best deal britain can get even if it causes widespread political opposition meanwhile in new foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels ahead of a summit on sunday weather expected to sign formally on the withdrawal deal

european union chief president bush as called the agreement fair and balanced we are in fact at the decisive moment in this process no one no one should lose sight of the process the progress that will be achieved in brussels and new london. i am pretty that ministers today should pull to overall package in particular member states through paul to draft with direct removed. events for us in central london so there's talk of a no confidence vote they get the forty eight votes needed yet. while no they haven't been every hour that goes by the less it looks frankly as if as if they're going to able to do that and then last week the rebels were quite clear that they would have forty eight letters which is what they need to trigger a vote of no confidence and then they didn't over the weekend and then at the weekend those saying well many m.p.'s were going to base their constituencies and

spoke to them they'll come back on monday and have the courage of their convictions and that hasn't happened either and so it's looking increasingly like it probably won't happen and i think a lot of them have probably comes to view that even if they did get those forty eight letters and it went to a votes of m.p.'s consent and peace they wouldn't get one hundred fifty eight concert m.p.'s to bring her down and frankly they've been reduced some of the rebels to saying that m.p.'s haven't been telling the truth to them about their intentions which doesn't really look very impressive and at them so it's at the moment looking increasingly like they're going to wait until the vote which i keep saying is the most important one which is the vote is now going to be in december when the whole of parliament sits to vote on the agreements on the assumption that potentially to resume a might lose that vote and if she did then then she would have to go i think you'll be it would then be impossible for her to hold her position but i think for the time being the it looks like the potential for

a vote of no confidence in her in the immediate has had reduced pretty substantially and much of the european union thinking about all this. well i think i think we're all very pleased frankly you know you heard what michel barnier these chief negotiator said in that sound bite you played just before you came to me the having having got the foreign ministers broadly to support that that lays the ground for them to basically rubber stamp it's at the summit they're going to hold on sunday but i think you know like like the reason may effectively their line to politicians here even though they say they don't interfere in british parliamentary democracy is look if you don't like this then you got to face the choice of either falling out of the european union completely which they know that there's no support for in the house of parliaments or not having breakfast at all and that's effectively the same argument sarees amazing suppose sides she's saying to the hardcore if you bring me down then the u.k. might never leave the european union and equally she's saying to m.p.'s who don't

want to leave the european union if if if you don't support my deal which is off in our files then then the u.k. might fall out entirely and so fixedly both reason may and the e.u. are now trying to play both sides off against each other and they got between now and i think december the tenth to try to shore up our position to see if they can they think they can push the whole thing through an r.c. thank you very much. japanese car giant listeners considering sacking its chairman for allegedly lying about his salary. was arrested after being questioned by prosecutors in tokyo this and says an internal investigation found gershon understated his income by millions of dollars and used company money and personal benefits he's also the chairman and chief executive of france's red. process finance ministers sisted the red notice an alliance is not at risk and there are no concerns about the conglomerate stability about to has more from paris. well the

board of the japanese carmaker will decide on thursday whether or not to sack call a scone as their chairman and if they do it would be an enormous fall from grace for carlos corn who is one of the biggest names in the motor industry he is not only the chairman for now of nisson but also of japanese carmaker mitsubishi motors he's also the chief executive of french car maker renault and what listen saying is that they are accusing him of financial misconduct they say they've been investigating him over the past few months and that they have found that he has misused company money and assets for his own personal benefit all this came about because they said they received a report from a whistleblower detailing some of carlos cain's financial maneuverings in the company when the stands now handed over all their documents and information to the japanese public prosecutor's office carlos golan is under arrest in tokyo and

really this news essential waves around the motoring world because he is such an icon if you like of the motoring industry someone who's had a career that spanned decades in the one nine hundred ninety s. he began to shake up renault nissan and really turned their fortunes around so this news has really come as quite a shock to many inside the industry and if he is asked to step down as chairman of nisson will be huge blow to his career and reputation israel's government has narey avoided collapse education minister naftali bennett had been threatening to pull his party out of prime minister benjamin netanyahu his coalition but has decided against it a withdrawal would have most likely lead to a snap election stephanie decker has the latest from west jerusalem. after all the criticism and after all the ultimatum that he gave to the israeli prime minister naftali bennett will not be quitting this government he had made

a very loud point where he said that if he was not given the post of defense minister that he would be resigning which would effectively have collapsed this government it hasn't happened now yes he extensively criticised the prime minister particularly his policies when it comes to the palestinians when it comes to the gaza border protests when it comes to how he's dealt with hamas when it comes to the fact that the prime minister hasn't yet demolished that bedouin village in the occupied west bank connel ahmad but after one of that he said that he would be remaining in government bennett doesn't want to be seen as the man to bring down this right wing government that is also the position that the israeli prime minister i put him in netanyahu remains a shrewd political operator he played the security card when it came to defending his policies of these of the how mass to the cease fire in gaza so for the moment snap elections seem to have been avoided but it remains a fragile coalition only one seat majority many people will tell you that netanyahu is king on early elections but not under these circumstances and certainly not

handing over what would have been a huge political victory for hamas if they would play it if the government had collapse at this stage they would have played it as a victory to that so for the moment it's been avoided but again many people will tell you that early elections will probably still happen they've just been avoided for now. because parliament has delayed a third no confidence vote against the president's choice of prime minister. who is refusing to step aside but it's missed reports from colombo. this session of sri lanka's parliament was over within minutes of it starting the session was adjourned there was no third vote of no confidence speaker sort of considered the first vote sufficient and then of the second vote he considered that even more than was necessary the president refused to accept both of those votes of no confidence because they were conducted according to procedure he was prepared to accept a third vote if it had been conducted according to procedure but it's not gone

ahead to the parliament adjourned again this is beginning to become a legal battle between the courts various cases being filed in the courts of palm and he's not able it seems to decide who should be prime minister of sri lanka the government at the top of government run ill witnessing as he is still prime minister is staying in the official residence manner rajapaksa though is gazetted on the air on the official government document as being prime minister so he's carrying out the prime minister palm and now might try and vote to strip some funding from the prop prime minister's office in a way to stop him exercising his powers but all of this political crisis this constitutional crisis be still hurting sri lanka's economy the rupee again at an all time low against the u.s. dollar.

and one of the top stories here saudi arabia's king sound man has heaped praise on his judiciary in his first public comments since the murder of. a journalist was killed and dismembered in istanbul concert last month under the gulf nation into one of its worst international crises in decades. the kingdom was established on the principles of justice and that's why we have all the trust of the judiciary and that they would do the necessary to establish the truth and surf jumpsuits. also ensure that no penalties unpunished. meanwhile senior republicans in the u.s. are demanding action against saudi crown prince mohammed bin so none of us media reports say the cia has identified him as ordering the killing of president donald trump says such conclusions a premature committee how could has moved from the white house so there is very much at intense pressure on this white house to do more and in the absence of that

it appears that the members of congress are taking matters into their own hands there are two pieces of legislation one we know that could be taken up as early as next week in the u.s. senate to try and polish saudi arabia through the withholding of arms sales for offensive measures as well as for any sort of aerial support in the saudi led coalition conflict in yemen your own special envoy to yemen has welcomed the who feels decision to stop drone and missile strikes against the saudi led coalition iran backed rebels also say they're ready for a broader ceasefire if the coalition quote wants peace it comes as yemen's saudi backed government has also confirmed it will take part in u.n. backed talks in sweden they say this month britain's prime minister says have breaks it plan is best for jobs as your battles officials from our own party who want to out meanwhile you foreign ministers have been meeting in brussels ahead of

a summit on sunday where they're expected to sign off formally on the withdrawal deal and also expected to agreed extension to the transition period which currently runs to the end of twenty twenty there's the top stories to stay with us on our counting the cost is coming up next so you know bit by for now. hello i'm adrian finnigan and this is counting the cost on al-jazeera a weekly look at the world of business and economics this week the brings it endgame it's complicated it's messy we'll look at what just happened in the u.k.

as divorce proceedings from the european union also this week oil's new power play why opec's top producer saudi arabia wants to slam the brakes on production. and the strong bond between china and iran how it's being tested by tough u.s. sanctions. a draft deal has been served but it's proving too hard to stomach we're talking this week about the u.k. is divorced from the european union bragg's it now it's friday morning here in doha as i speak and as anyone who's been following this messy breakup knows it's complicated events are moving so fast that by now when you're watching anything could have happens but the deal agreed by the u.k. and the e.u. has been described in rather ungluing terms as at least bad brigs it u.k. prime minister to reason may says the draft agreement she managed to stitch together is in the national interest addressing the nation she said that it's

better than no deal and that she wants to use it as the basis for negotiating the future economic relationship with the european union but getting her divorce accord ratified by parliament may prove impossible but brings that secretary and other ministers quit because they hate it let's take a closer look. well the draft agreement focuses our lot on new proposals over the irish border both sides have committed to avoiding a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland arrangement to keep the u.k. within the u.s. customs union after bragg's it for a certain amount of time the customs union is the arrangement by which the u. e.u. members apply the same tariffs to products imported from the rest of the world critics say the part of the plan will trap the u.k. in the box orbit for years banks are unhappy the plan gives u.k. banks insurers and asset managers limited access to european financial markets and even within the e.u.

there are objections the french are upset because the draft leaves fisheries outside the single u.k. e.u. customs zone out of zeros jonah howell reports now from london. a prime minister in battled on multiple fronts but one determined to keep fighting i believe with every fiber of my being that the course i have set out is the right one for our country and all our people by the media she was asked if she was in denial about the chances of her breaks a deal success you're in office but not in power said one journalist if there is a leadership contest will you contest it asked another swing and there was little support to be found in parliament broken promises failed to go see asians and abject capitulation to the e.u. it is therefore mathematically impossible to get this deal through the house of commons the choice is nigh clear we stand up for the united kingdom the whole of

the united kingdom the integrity of the united kingdom or we vote for a vassal state with the breakup of the united are your getting ready to resume a says she's doing her job and she believes she's doing the right thing for the country draft brags a deal she insists protects jobs and gives the nation back control of its north of its money and of its borders the alternative she warns leaving the e.u. with no deal is a part of deep and grave uncertainty but among those who resigned on thursday including two cabinet ministers and those who oppose the prime minister and her deal on the right of the conservative party there may soon be sufficient numbers to launch a leadership contest. that will go in but i'm not tired rome. is a leader who will say to the european union it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have

a perpetual customs union it is impossible to pay thirty nine billion pounds of taxpayers' money for a few promises for now to resume a carries on and her briggs's deal in theory at least moves to brussels next week for the approval of e.u. leaders its survival though and indeed hers are not assured. well if you can make sense of the politics the u.k. currency may prove to be a more reliable barometer think of it as a kind of briggs it weather forecast on thursday the pound fell one point seven percent against the dollar it's steep its percentage slide since october twenty sixth in derivatives markets signaling that the volatility in the u.k. currency is likely to continue that means that worries about the impact the briggs's drama is having on the u.k. economy are growing joining us now from london lorenzo could own a renzo is the founder of london based l.c. metro advisors and chief economist there there is

a great to have you with us on counting the cost doesn't this this draft agreement actually do enough to attract investment to the u.k. and to allow the u.k. to do the trade deals that it says it wants to do outside of the european union. well let's push away i mean it's negative anyway i mean blacks it is negative is negative for the u.k. deeply negative for the u.k. it's certainly also negative for the rest of the e.u. so there's no adapter that any kind of deal that you can actually strike with the u.k. and the you on the other hand is going to be negative but at least it's less negative that other options that are on the table for instance i think you would be highly disruptive if there is no deal and the u.k. ends up with the kind of backstop with no effective. no not dream and on anything for that would be very disruptive in my view would

increase the shabby uncertainty so this solution today did with the one it is on the table and it's not yet one on the percent sure clearly it has to go through the political process and. i think is the least damaging option that is on the table or at. it's possibly too early to say in answer to this question but what in your opinion does this draft agreement mean for the loosening of government purse strings in the u.k. and the ending of austerity. well andy our sterrett here fact really the budget the latest the budget these are radius suggesting something like that i think that it's probably going to end a long period of uncertainty political uncertainty in the u.k. which i think started with a with a referendum and this is good news in my view too much time in the u.k. has been the track there's been a separate track to buy buy back by this all issue and and i think the

government has more important things to door but but again this big deal you know took a lot of time and a lot of efforts and. it was basically pushed for government action which has been a little bit dysfunctional soil and i think it's good news if it reaches at least we have a deal but again it's not finished and we need to very much monitor or the next few days and next few weeks whether which will go through the rounds or who ultimately will end up paying for briggs it well automatically it would be u.k. people but there is a mention before i think of this there is a negative also for the e.u. so it's a world it's a lose lose proposition so everybody's going to lose but clearly the u.k. we're going to lose more then the e.u.

you say that everybody's going to lose with the put up of the people of northern ireland will they be happy with this deal that the u.p.a. the party that helps to reason may govern. they provide her affectively her parliamentary majority they don't speak for everyone in the u.k. even though they're on happy with this withdrawal destruct withdraw agreement. yeah i think there is still an open issue there but we don't know all the details yet and we will see over the next few days and weeks how this will translate into actual decision actual actions on the ground. and for what we know so far it seems to be the least the damaging solution also for northern ireland because the alternative would be much more disruptive but lorenza we've been talking on counting the cost about breaks if you two years since since the referendum to the decision to leave that the european union how would you make sense of it for our audience on the program outside of the e.u. and the u.k.

in particular is it possible to sum up to make sense of of brigs it in one simple sentence i think has been a massive distraction of effort self and a g.'s n. and you know i think it was really a misguided decision but we have to live with that and the you know u.k. people decided to leave the euro i think that the government has to believe it but again it has been a massive distraction from more important issues learns it's been great to talk to you many thanks indeed for being with us and counting the cost thanks. so it's a distraction meanwhile people are getting poorer in britain and the united nations is trying to find out why the world body is to investigate areas in the u.k. hardest hit by a decade of a stereo one such place is the town of j. wick on england's east coast from there i was there as lawrence lee reports.
