shock and over trump support for riyadh as u.s. senators seek an investigation into mohamed bin sol man's role. of course as he is deeply disappointed and concerned today's verdict the british prime minister criticizes the u.a.e. for sentencing a british student to life on spying charges. tens of thousands of children are dying in yemen and aid groups say it's entirely preventable. it's four years on kicks off the twenty twenty two feet the world cup of the first ever middle east coast will take a look at the progress made for football's showpiece events. a betrayal of american values. that's how u.s.

politicians have described donald trump's refusal to hold saudi arabia accountable for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi the president cast doubt on his own intelligence agency which concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the killing he says mohammed bin salmond's role may never be fully known president charms responses provoked strong responses from both sides of the aisle the senate foreign relations committee has asked for an inquiry that specifically looks into the crown prince's role in the murder and turkey says it may push for an international inquiry its foreign minister says there shouldn't be a cover up to maintain trade ties with riyadh she have returned he begins our coverage from washington d.c. . here i hear by the way you. are the white house thanksgiving tradition of the president pardoning a turkey took on a grim significance this year a short time earlier donald trump made it clear he was giving the saudi crown

prince a pass in the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in an eight paragraph statement filled with the rhetorical flourishes the exclamation marks and slogans characteristic of the president's tweeds don't trump made his argument king solomon crown prince mohammed bin salman vigorously denying any knowledge of the planning and execution of the murder of mr khashoggi our intelligence agencies continue to assess all information but it could very well be that the crown prince had knowledge of this tragic events maybe he did and maybe he didn't our relationship is with the kingdom of saudi arabia donald trump went on they have been a great ally in our very important fight against iran the united states intends to remain a steadfast partner of saudi arabia to ensure the interests of our country israel and all other partners in the region very simply it is called america first basically he was saying that our relationship as saudi arabia solve porn really doesn't matter later in the day mr trump was asked about his staunch support. the

saudis were not going to give up hundreds of billions of dollars in orders and let russia china and everybody else have a it's all about for me very simple it's america first after talks with my pump a.o. in washington the turkish foreign minister also discussed the complexity of his nation's relations with saudi arabia making it clear that i'm great they don't want to sabotage those links but he added this we know well that the team who came to istanbul did not come because they wanted to but they came at the request of somebody we know though that this person is not the king there was a withering response from the washington post who wrote four hundred list rights groups president trump is correct in saying the world is a very dangerous place the washington post said in a statement his surrender to the state ordered murder will only make it more so an innocent man brutally slain deserves better as does the cause of truth justice and human rights in this failure of leadership from president trump it now falls to congress to stand up for america's true values and lasting interests the committee

to protect journalists tweeted this if you boil the white house statement down to its essence president trump has just asserted that if you do enough business with the us you are free to murder journalists that's an appalling message to send to saudi arabia and the world but it seems the trumpet ministration has made a decision not to be concerned by the ridicule and disbelief that has greeted its arguments and ultimate position on the khashoggi killing shihab rattansi al-jazeera washington. a live not complete how can i white house correspondent she's joining us live from washington d.c. and came billy it seems very much as though there is increasing anger among members of congress and against what appears to be the president's transactional stance with regard to the jamal khashoggi matter. there's no question about it there are so many efforts that are continuing to grow a number in the u.s. congress there's not only the the triggering of the global magnitsky act that has taken place as a result of that letter sent on tuesday evening by not only

a ranking democrat on the house or rather the senate intelligence committee but our foreign relations committee i should point out but also republican and if it sounds like we've been here before it's because we have to remember that the global magnitsky act was triggered in october tenth by a similar letter sent to the trumpet ministration asking this time specifically if in fact the white house can investigate whether or not the crown prince was involved in ordering the killing of a high shows but this letter has been issued before and it resulted in the seventeen sanctions put in place by the treasury department but what frustrated many members of congress with that investigations conducted by the trumpet ministration was that those seventeen individuals were already in jail and none of those seventeen vigils clip included any member of the saudi royal family so we see this effort happening once again but that's not the only effort martine there's also an effort again in the senate two pieces of legislation under way one that

could be looked at as early as next week that would limit not only u.s. military support terms of refueling which has been put on pas but could permanently halt the saudi led coalition's this assistance to the coalition in yemen but also could block arms sales for offensive purposes so there certainly are efforts underway but there are continuing to be more as we look at even the house side adam schiff in january will become the ranking member on the house intelligence committee he's also promising a deep dive into the investigation of who specifically ordered the killing of a given the fact that the even the cia has concluded that he was behind this ordering of this killing and as you lead you to come generally presumably when the lower house becomes democrat controlled the pressure to relations with saudi arabia will grow even more intense. yeah and i think it we're going to see this building

towards january because well we're entering a holiday period in the united states and this is a case that congress typically likes to sort of head for the hills when the holidays come but this is a case that has them and raged the fact that it appears that donald trump has put american values for sale looking at the business dealings as being more important in his mind then in what america has typically espouse and that is the value on human rights so this is the concern we're seeing not only members of congress but former if it ministration officials at the former cia director john brennan pushing to have the cia report declassified one that the state department official and honestly said was blindingly obvious in its conclusions that the crown prince ordered this killing but it's also the international spotlight as well we're seeing statements coming out of canada for example the foreign minister there christopher freeland saying she's going to try and push for this to be discussed at the upcoming g. twenty in argentina so this is not going away even as the white house has tried to

kind of tamp down and put this is a matter case closed certainly this is one that not only the u.s. congress but the world is saying is a case that remains quite open committee how could live in washington thanks very much right now we can hear from tony betty our correspondent in istanbul in turkey his reaction to president trump statement. in this difficult position they want this pursuit of justice to carry on they feel they probably can't do it on their own behalf they need some international body maybe the u.n. for example because it's quite clear the u.s. is not going to push saudi arabia on this matter the response though has been rather muted i think officially in public the most we've heard is the deputy leader of the ruling a party mr pneumococcal most and he said that mr president's statement was comical but that's the closest we have got i mean the turks do find themselves in a difficult position here because while the one hand they they want to pursue

justice it's a moral responsibility for them they also want to maintain and improve relations both in washington and with saudi arabia but they are a little bit concerned now they're looking focusing more on finding the perpetrators and finding out who was behind the murder a mystical saji they're very disappointed at the response from the saudis for example they feel that this joint investigation is not going anywhere they don't feel the saudis are cooperating they've asked for additional information that if it wasn't a saudi crown prince then who was it or donald trump statement defending the u.s. saudi relationship didn't begin with riyadh instead it concentrated on its regional rival iran in the ending lines president trump cited terran as an example of how quote the world is a dangerous place he accused it of being responsible for the war in yemen and of trying to destabilize the middle east well iran's foreign minister jevons very fiercely just swift response on twitter saying mr trump bizarrely devotes the first

paragraph of his shameful statement on saudi atrocities to accuse iran of every sort of malfeasance he can think of perhaps we are also responsible for the california fires because we didn't help break the forests just like the fins do. now a new report by amnesty international has accused saudi arabia of torturing and sexually assaulting women's rights activists who were held in detention other detainees were flogged and electrocuted amnesty is middle east research director says only a few weeks after the rufus killing of jamal khashoggi these shocking reports of torture sexual harassment and other forms of ill treatment if arafat had expose further outrageous human rights violations by the saudi authorities but we can now talk to. a spokeswoman at amnesty internet international she's joining us live now from beirut the point that jumps out from that list of the truss it is

a letter they carried out against detainees in saudi jails is the fact that they're not yet verified what efforts are you taking to verify those accounts unfortunately we don't have access to the prisons or to the detainees themselves so we are right now basing. our information on the reports that we've sent and we are all being on the saudi authorities to investigate these reports in a very serious manner transparent manner but also to take action and all those who are responsible for these acts if they are very right to accounts and i'm i have these accounts just recently come to light. i don't know why they have just come to light we have exposed us and others of course as you might have seen today. and as you know as we have received the now i have to say that while these reports have not been very fine

they have come from three different sources and they are credible sources that we have but they also fits within a pattern that we have documented over the years so it's not specific to this group of detainees activists although the reports of sexual harassment are new to us but we have documented in the past. and try also detained activists and protesters who have claimed during the their trials that they had they were subjected to torture in order to extract in order for the authorities to extract from them confessions which were then used for the issuing of sentences and the sentences could go up to death sentences so the issue of torture inside tell the prison is not new and we are now trying to just exposing the records that have come to us and in your estimation then how widespread how representative would you say

all these accounts of torture and sexual harassment among detainees in saudi jails today. so we're not in a position unfortunately with the with the with the atmosphere of increasing fear amongst activists it's just becoming more and more difficult for activists to be talking and exposing the truth and they're the few brave voices that are still you know very active about what's going on they have you know they've said that the issue of sexual harassment is something that's been new one of the activists who was detained a few years ago said that nothing of the sort has happened to her so this may be a new trend are specific acts against women but we are not in a position based on the information that we have to talk about whether this is a new pattern and the extent of how widespread it is but we do know that the reports of torture during interrogation are widespread. amnesty

international thank you very much indeed thank you well we've got a lot more to come on this al-jazeera news hour including interpol gets a new president but not everyone is happy with the choice i didn't support kosovo win promotion to the higher divisions of european football just two years after being recognized as an independent team. presence in the syrian city of hama or on the hunger strike eleven political detainees have been told that they'll be executed for taking part in peaceful demonstrations in twenty eleven then a holder reports. from inside hama central prison an appeal for help detainees and now to an open ended hunger strike more than a week ago to protest against the verdicts by

a syrian court eleven and mates the latest to be handed death sentences for taking part in peaceful protests in two thousand and eleven the beginning of the uprising that led to the war and now in its eighth year. we speak your conscience we appeal to your humanity to end our pain and illegal gate our suffering we have been imprisoned for years we are exhausted we have the right to live human rights groups say the verdicts are unjust the international committee of the red cross has been denied access to the prisons where detainees don't have lawyers serious counter terrorism law has also been criticized for criminalizing almost all peaceful opposition activity many political protesters and political dissidents who are basically picked up by the syrian security services or the team that checkpoints and taken into these detention facilities without any form of due process. those

held inside how my prison retained control of much of the facility after a mutiny in two thousand and sixteen they have phones and internet access but despite managing to draw attention to their plight the international community remains silent. tens of thousands have disappeared others are being tried in military field courts or counterterrorism courts where proceedings own up to international standards little action has been taken there's also the silence of the un refuses to discuss the file. the family say the case of at least eighty thousand detainees and the forcibly disappeared needs to be dealt with in any post conflict settlement a few months ago and after years of silence hundreds of families learned their missing relatives have been. dead they fear the government may be trying to cover up crimes against humanity human rights groups estimate that between five thousand and thirteen thousand people have been executed instead of prison and

a further eight hundred thousand have died in other prisons after being tortured and because of poor conditions since two thousand and eleven but said no year has been singled out by amnesty international as nothing more than a human slaughterhouse it's not the first time detainees in hama prison are resisting transfer to sydney or they are reaching out to the world for help through their hunger strike asking others to be their voices. beirut. british academic in the u.a.e. has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of spying matthew hedges has been under detention for six months he was arrested at dubai airport after a two week research visit the british foreign minister jeremy hunt says had his sentencing will hurt the u.k.'s relationship with the u.a.e. let's go live now to our correspondent paul brennan who's in london so a very strong reaction coming collectively from the u.k. government. indeed the news of now here jesus' life imprisonment

has come as a somewhat of a shock to be asked not least because the secretary of state jeremy hunt visited the united arab emirates just ten days ago and made representation at the highest level for the release of matthew hedges and yet just ten days after that visit we have this verdict in the courts there is a thirty day appeal period during which he can put together an appeal and launch one but at the moment there's no details as to exactly what form that appeal will take i don't forget a month ago when the documents when the last when the last appearance was made the court appointed lawyer put his p.h.d. documents his notes in front of the court and said look read that there's nothing confidential in here the adjournment until today was supposed to give the court time to agree with that and yet the courts are still decided that it merits a life sentence now the news hasn't gone down well the secular state jeremy hunt is

speaking at the moment in parliament but the prime minister theresa may he you would have thought would be totally distracted with matters at the moment has also weighed in on this during prime minister's questions let's have a listen and we are of course as he is deeply disappointed and concerned today's verdict and i realise how difficult and distressing this is both for matthew hedges but for also for his family we are raising it with the enron c.e.o. for it is of the highest level my marginal friend the foreign secretary is urgently seeking a call with the foreign minister abdullah bin saeed during his visit to the u.a.e. on november the twelfth he raised the issue with both crown prince mohammed bin ziad and the foreign minister and i can assure my honorable friend and other members that the foreign office will remain in close contact with matthew his family and his lawyer. but the message from the foreign secretary is well a quick statement he said we will continue to do everything possible to support matthew a much as wife daniella to her who was in court says she's in complete shock and

she doesn't know what to do when and live in london thank you very much indeed and now we can speak to him dean who's a researcher in the middle east and north africa division of human rights watch and she's joining us via skype what's your understanding of what has happened in this case i think this is been a very alarming and shocking sentence we have raised serious concerns about the due process violations that matthew has been subjected to over the course of his trial and over the course of his detention. we we have zero confidence in the u.s. courts and bill if he said mr justice in this case given given the inhuman and you mean conditions that that matthew was was kept and held in before being released on bail yes in fact there's there's been a petition hasn't there signed by more than one hundred fellow academics in which they demand his release but also decry his treatment calling it degrading and

inhumane what sort of civic lee has he endured during his six months in detention. so matthew was detained in may he was held for over two weeks incommunicado without any and on edge by his family or british consul representatives of his detention he has been denied access to a lawyer to legal counsel up until his thirtieth court hearing and he's only had four so far and we just read the verdicts today. that he has had very limited access to the very limited access to british consul the representatives had no clue of the charges until over five months later you know his wife says he's been held in solitary confinement for over five months that can amount to torture we know that his confession was used in the courts as evidence and this was one of the

biggest concerns that we had in the trial and in the lack of a fair trial guarantee is joining this prosecution right now. matthew hedges is a thirty one year old doctoral student in his ph d. he says that he was researching the impact of the arab spring on us foreign policy is a something in that do you think that might have upset the u.s. authorities. honestly to us what what exactly has his research was is not our main point of concern it's the fact that his trial was mined with such due process violations that there's no way it could have been. seen as as a fair trial we know that this is going to be a huge blow to the u.a.e. but ph and we know that it invests considerable time and money into presenting itself as progressive as told him and to have detained this academic for so long

without charge we don't know what the what the evidence is besides the confession that he that they have that they have a team from him which we are also in doubt of how it was of how it was obtained this all leads us to think that you know it is a very dangerous place and we are many know the u.a.e. is dangerous for journalists or for activists or any critics of any sort and so now we also know it is absolutely dangerous for academics who want to conduct research in the country as well dana thank you very much. now the u.n. envoy for yemen has arrived in the capital sanaa to meet whose leaders in the latest push for talks between warring sides but in griffiths wants to stop an all out conflict in the port city of a data which is crucial for supply of aid into the country while his visit comes as aid agencies warn of an urgent need to reach hundreds of thousands of severely malnourished yemeni children before it's too late to save the children says around

eighty five thousand children under the age of five may have already died from exchange hunger since the saudi u.s. coalition began its air campaign the u.n. warns at least fourteen million people are at risk of famine an estimated four hundred thousand children are on the brink of severe acute malnutrition we can go live now to our correspondent mohammed day who is monitoring the war in yemen from nearby djibouti a mommy let's start with the politics shall we and the fact the mussing griffiths has gone back to san are perhaps fearing that the commitments that he received from both sides just a few days ago to attend peace talks in sweden might be having a way. yes indeed he's very farm involved mission from both the. they would attend the talks but even before last what he wants done is

a complete ceasefire in the port city of the day that the continued fighting is putting in your putting the delivery of aid and the delivery also further afield into different parts of yemen where people who need it most leave. the holes these have so far say they will stop brawne attacks and ballistic missile attacks targeting so did it the united states and their allies on the ground but that has not translated into their guns going silent they've been sporadic clashes and some intense fighting specially the day before yesterday in the city all day and what we are seeing a situation where the fighting is going on on the soul much talk about peace talks and professionals governing pace what the special envoy is after is not only a commitment to the talks but also the guns to go silent in the data so that the

humanitarian community can do their work of delivering aid to those who need it indeed and we're talking out the only day that save the children have come out with this terribly bleak picture of the lives of the yemeni people particularly highlighting that of the children talking about the country virtually on the brink of famine and yet so many children so many thousands of children are what they describe as severe suffering from severe acute mound nourishment which is just one step away from starvation. yes indeed the humanitarian crisis that you described as the world's last is about to get even worse with the continued fighting and particularly again in the city of the day which is a lifeline for millions of yemenis the world food program just these month increase

the number of people it needs to feed and also other agencies need to how from just about eight to nine million to fourteen million bucks is a huff of the population of the country and the scary thing about the report by the save the children is that. this is just what the minutes to get in terms of statistics from the areas there are so many people out there who have absolutely no access to proper medical care and whose deaths reported and the number could be far greater than the eighty five thousand children that the have the children is now announced what the only solution to this is for there to be some sort of a ceasefire some sensational hostilities out of it tom to peace talks and a negotiated agreement which would see yemen making a transition and a transitional authority and this is what the international community is walking

all of the moment. live in djibouti thanking well just a short while ago in house of commons the british foreign secretary he's been speaking about the situation in yemen and he appealed to the warring factions to stop the conflict. what we're witnessing is a manmade humanitarian catastrophe inflicted by a conflict that has raged for too long i went to saudi arabia i went to the u.a.e. and i went to iran and in all cases i had tough messages for the people that i was speaking to about the fact that this situation has to change. take a look at the weather now every ten years here in your festival taking is to north america yeah that's right thanksgiving of course tomorrow month same and it's going to be a cold if not wet thanksgiving thankfully we can be grateful for the fact that the rain is going to fall where we need it most along that western side of the u.s.

you can see from the satellite picture the cloud already rolling into the western side of the u.s. is pushing in from the pacific coast extending right down there to san francisco and points south of that elsewhere it is going to be dry the cold air stocking its way in across much of the u.s. and it could be a record breaking cold thanks giving actually seven celsius there for new york at the moment is when it stays that temperatures we're going up to around two there for chicago they say gets up to around ten degrees celsius take a look at thursday itself this is the big day minus two the top temperature in new york and the blues you can follow those blues a little further south as we go on into black friday nine celsius there for atlantis i lots of cold weather around as i said for most it will be dry you can see that's the picture at the moment further west to just take a look at that rain because we need the rain so this is good news but i fear it's going to be too much over too prolonged a time base and pieces of snow was it makes its way over the rockies for thursday

that rain continuing up the coast of oregon washington state western side of canada as well and there's more of the same as we go on through friday as i said for most it is going to be dry lots of crisp sunshine around the top temperatures of one celsius there on friday march same evidence thank you very much lots more to come here on the al-jazeera news hour including south sudan puts its economic hopes in iowa supplies start flowing once again. and michael jordan returns to his hometown with help for victims of hurricane florence peter we'll have the details in sport. across europe immigration is high on the agenda and in hungary it's presented as a pressing issue we didn't have immigrants' at all zero immigration but this is the

one political topic anybody and everybody is discussing the far right is preparing for battle and their opponents or anyone who is different. prejudiced some pride in hungary on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks the world bank says arrival of many young migrants could be beneficial for the colombian economy with detailed coverage by turning back on bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies from around the world a big group of pro independents cannot storm book play station but then stood on the side killing for placement and thought.

time to take a look at the top stories here on the outside their new us president donald trump says he's standing behind saudi arabia after the matter of jamal khashoggi that's despite the cia's conclusion the crown prince mohammed bin sound man ordered the john this killing. the u.n. envoy for yemen has arrived in the capital sanaa to meet toothy leaders in the latest push for talks to end the civil war the visit by mark. save the children says around eighty five thousand kids under the age of five may have died from extrusion hunger since the saudi coalition began its campaign in yemen. a british academic in the u.a.e. has been sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of spying matthew hedges was arrested a divider airport after a two week recess visit. out of an address where refugees are in

limbo after a controversial plan to repatriate them to me i'm a failed many of the ranger refugees in cults is bizarre say they're too afraid to go but to me i'm nearly three quarters of a million people fled the northern record in state last year after a crackdown by mere miles military at least six thousand seven hundred ranger were killed in that violence within just a month mohammed jam june has the story of one woman who survived the attacks. refugee. the scars may be healing but the pain is constant. point about i'm not even i am out if i were there my husband was shot and killed three of my children had their throat slit and then they hacked their bodies to pieces on the walls of the well. montages recalls how in august two thousand and seventeen being moore's military attacked her village of tula tolly rights groups

called it a massacre that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of civilians after being raped montages says she was locked in a house that was set on fire she shows me the burns she sustained before managing to escape with her sole surviving child eight year old razia for whom these marks from a machete serve as a reminder of the kind of trauma people three times her age would have trouble processing. and could therefore indicate would be nikki were getting really little what did our children do to them. who are at all how devoted a. lot of their to how the why did the military attack and kill them how can anyone expect us to go back there. when taz asks that question because of a much criticised repatriation deal between me and more in bangladesh that was set to begin last week it was alternately delayed but not before causing a huge amount of concern for him to refugees in bangladesh terrified of the

prospect of returning to me and more in august a u.n. fact finding mission accuse top military leaders and me and mark a perpetrating a genocide against the rangers in october the head of that fact finding mission went even further saying that the genocide in myanmar is ongoing montez like so many other refugees here wants to know why the international community isn't doing more to help of one thing though she is certain not a member of the island even if they could bring my husband and my children and my parents back from the dead even if they brought back all of them we wouldn't go back we wouldn't go because of how much we were persecuted. resolve it seems conquering despair even though the sorrow will never go away. well mommy jim jim is here with me now he's just back from bangladesh and. i'm a hamid you saw so many desperate desperate people but that particular story of the

woman has is incredibly moving and illustrated of the plight being faced by so many thousands of people what are her prospects of actually the returning home or living a decent life where she is in bangladesh you know martine she is in a dire situation as are hundreds of thousands of other row hinder refugees that are there. they live in terrible conditions yes the government of bangladesh has been generous to this population of about over seven hundred thousand refugees that came there in the past year yes conditions in these camps are much improved but montages barely gets medical assistance she doesn't get any psychological counseling the aid workers that are there would like to help more but they don't have the resources and the reason for that is because every time they trying to get the international community to donate more to the cause to help the plight of the refugees it just doesn't happen because of that these people feel helpless and now they are so

worried that this repeat relation deal may actually come into effect some point and beyond that they're worried that even if they don't want to go back that they may be forced to go back well the bangladesh has did make they've given assurances that nobody who wasn't willing to return would be forced to but nonetheless as i look at this deal why is it that the bangladesh government has has made this bilateral agreement with the me amal government without including the un as some sort of supervisory force in the deal it really is beguiling because you don't quite understand why bonn ledes really painted themselves into a corner when it comes to this deal anybody who's been there on the ground as me and my team have so many times in the past year could tell you that it would have been almost impossible that you would have heard. ranger refugees living in these circumstances wanting to return. would like to go back to me and more to reconcile if they could get citizenship if they could have their safety guaranteed if there

was some kind of governing body there that could guarantee their safety but that hasn't happened and because of that they do not want to return government among the dash is really between a rock and a hard place right now because they have the specter of elections coming up and because there is there is a segment of the population there that is very supportive the refugees and there's a segment of the population there that want to see we're going to refugees start returning to me and more and yes the government has said that nobody will be forced to return but there is a lot of pressure political pressure to make something happen so that they can tell their domestic audience the regions are refugees have started returning to me and. thank you very much indeed for that. now it's really is government will not change its spending proposal despite the european union commission rejecting its budget for twenty nineteen it's concerned that the u.s. is concerned the borrow and spend plans could trigger another debt crisis that could have a domino effect the deputy prime minister called any possible sanctions against

italy disrespectful towards its citizens we can speak now to federico arjun t.n.t. is a professor of political science at john cabot university in rome he's joining us from there now so this is how the teenie is standing firm and saying that he's not prepared to cut his his budget projections for twenty nine thousand but the e.u. is saying that this is massively over and above what are allowed by the rules italy already is what the second most largest amount in the euro zone. yes well the situation is very serious the situation is serious because. i'm afraid is right in turning down italy's budget law because budget law would not pass an economy and economics one hundred one class. it's highly. unreliable projects and it has to be revised and

i don't understand why the professor three the minister of economics of the government the minister of economy of the town and government sorry i don't understand why he doesn't resign i think it's time for him to think it over because . if you don't if you're sharing a serious dept and you don't plan on growing you don't plan on increasing unemployment employment sorry but you just plan to distribute money here and there this doesn't pass a basic economics. monitoring but i'm afraid. well if there are consequences the political consequences will be serious i was going to say sounds very much as our politics in the politics is trumping the economics in this particular case and and it sounds very much as though the

populism i mean we've got the five star movement is a populist movement a far right movement with la liga and it sounds very much as they populism is now invaded the italian government particularly when it comes to to its budget. yes yes. we had it coming actually because if i may i would like to say that five stars is more or less the spot for this and the league is right this populist and the combine their forces they join their forces with a very confused and unreliable project and. i don't see an outcome to it but we knew everybody knew who understands politics that this is this was going to happen that this was going not was going to not pass brussels monitoring to brussels is not going to accept and i would like to add something else none of the other twenty six e.u.

strongly endorsed by the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh well kim replaces mung way who's under arrest in china over corruption allegations there must have been hoping that its own candidate the vice president or a security veteran alexander proc could chalk would take the post but his candidacy was strongly opposed by both europe and the u.s. where john coin is head of the australian strategic policing and loren force of program he says there are some real concerns with interpol but the new president should be good for the organization the president is a consolation under the situation under the circumstances that we are facing he's of course a conservative is a conservative approach to law enforcement which means that he's unlikely to be continuing on some of the push that president may have been doing to reform egypt. change its role is a more strategically focused. south sudan is facing in our conference in order to

attract investors it has africa's third largest oil reserves of much of the industry was destroyed during the civil war now south sudan hopes to return to full production in an attempt to strengthen its struggling economy hit morgan reports now from the oil fields over the way. back up and running oil is flowing again in these facilities in south sudan every barrel produced is vital to africa's youngest nation all provide nearly all of its g.d.p. but the main operating company says not our wells are working in the south because of where the field here has the capacity to produce forty five thousand barrels per day and it's only producing twenty thousand and the station wasn't working for five years so some wells have issues such as i would tricity and their production here is a tough capacity all production halted four years ago when rebels attacked the facilities

thousand and has the third largest oil reserves in sub-saharan africa but the war was started in twenty states seen two years after south sudan split from sudan with seventy five percent of the oil reserves resulted in major facilities being destroyed. production fell by nearly a third but now a deal signed in july promoted hopes of a return to full production for months on the country is still a long way short of its previous production level at the moment south sudan produces roughly one hundred fifty thousand barrels per day forty percent goes to operational costs and the government is left with ninety thousand barrels out of that twenty percent goes to oil partners such as china sea n.p.c. and militias petron ass and the government keeps the rest but even then the country still has to share some of the profits with the government of sudan that's because south sudan lacks the infrastructure to process and transport its oriel it has the used to dance infrastructure and still has to pay nearly a billion dollars to sudan as part of a financial agreement it signed following independence and the country's oil sells

for five dollars less than price on the international market every dollar earned is vital to reduce the high inflation while the ones we are suffering things have become very expensive hopefully the price will go down in the model yeah this is the market where i saw my goods and they are expensive prices have been going up but they have started going down since the resumption south sudan's government says it's a work to bring production back to previous levels by the end of the year for us it is very right to go on with this country ninety percent of the nation. and the price of oil you must continue to me. is a syndrome. so we need to make sure that we benefit from. the. many wells are yet to resume production in a country that relies so heavily on oil the government is hoping its can keep the oil flowing to kickstart its struggling economy people more going on to their growing south sudan still to come here on the news hour as cas hour counts down to

the wall we'll look at why the head of world football wants to expand the competition to forty eight teams well explain.

thank you so much exactly four years now before cuts that will kick off the twenty twenty two hosts of football's biggest tournament it's been moved from a traditional june july window to november and december to avoid the heat in the

gulf country richardson is at one of the stadiums in the countdown is on the ending always good talking to you this will be the first time the world cup is being held in november and december how much of a difference is that going to make. it was interesting still consider it to a lot of funds at the finals in russia are a lot of numbers still pretty on a way that's when it was moving out of its traditional june july slots and in this november december wind are now in qatar won the rights to the tournament since two thousand and seven would bidding for a summit so immense in the eight stadiums will be used for the event you can see the clique the stadium behind me they will all have a cooling psychology whether or not they should be needed at this time of year is another question and there's no doubt that for the hundreds of thousands of fans who are coming to see going to come to cats for the world cup it will be a much more pleasurable experience for them to come at this time of year than if they were to come during june or july inevitably it will mean

a considerable amount of disruption for many domestically particularly secularly in europe will mean season start seeing a little bit sooner and finishing late going to miss around six six rounds of the games as a consequence one of the things cats are doing is that this will be a compressed world cup it will be a twenty eight day world cup starting on november twenty first finishing on december eighth st and we have thirty two days in russia just to try to minimize the destruction a little bit one of the other things organizes a saying is that one of the compensations of funds hopefully will be the quality of football and when international cards is generally get hold of that players from my agent sold him and it is in the summer at the end of a long season and the players all simply exhausted that will not be the case for this woman kicking off on november twenty first i mean there's been a lot of talk about the two women be expanded to forty eight team event given what you've just told me about it being a twenty eight day event how realistic is the forty eight team competition. this is

very much an idea of faith for president giani infancy and we will of course see a forty eight c. world cup in twenty twenty six bouts one hosted across three countries in mexico the u.s. and canada. could hardly be more of a contrast already this is the smallest country to have a host the world cup they've built the stadiums they need for this thirty two team so intimate now infancy no he said a few of his ideas recently not barky other ideas for an expanded world cup sort of kate since it's such was very keen for this idea to be seen to be still alive it's a vote winner he's up for reelection as president next year the richest i would say one hundred countries involved enough i would seem process the more countries that he can give a chance to being in this twenty twenty world cup it's a popular thing that's around twenty five percent of all the member associations will get a chance to be at the world cup we will get some closure on it soon cats are at the

domestic about it in public there is a feasibility study underway to see if it is possible to get some closure in march of next year when faith will make its final decision on just how many teams will be at this world cup i will miss be mean to missional consumed over the welfare of wood whose lawn will cut building sites what progress has been made there. well look it's something that from the minutes the cats i want to rush the house this world cup they've been under the spotlight there have been mistakes made and one of the things i can honestly say is as someone whose words with the organizers and with the media seem around council twenty twenty two is that they're open to talking about the issues that they're honest enough to admit the mistakes have been made and they would sit to remedy them as as best they possibly can it's also important to say that this is not a catch all government projects cats on twenty twentieth's are in charge of building the stadiums but there is a two hundred billion dollar infrastructure programs taking place across this

country as this city this country emerges out of the desert there's a huge rail and road network coming into place and and cut some twenty twenty two would say that they're not responsible for that elements of it and also they don't like to have seen some government reforms come in quicker but they haven't been they haven't got the powers to do that what they have been able to do is liaise with international trade unions to ensure his best possible work practices are in place on their construction sites and in terms of tangible change you can see that in the last last twelve months the united nations international labor organization actually dropped a case against cats are jutes the improvements in worker standards and the richardson it's always good talking to you thank you so much. been promoted to a higher tier of the european nations league of the for the winner as the beige on it comes just use of to the country with that method to fee for and you a few events and only two months off with a first of a competitive win cost of a finished top of the group and promoted to league c. the result in pristina also
