yeah. as you see i think the time the white house made action to the cia reports i think the whole story has been changed and i do believe that the new chapter of the story has been opened and to me is it becomes very clear that there is a serious division within american politics now within the president the congress and the media is very it is becoming very clear there is a division which we did not see before with the international scene between europe within europe itself between the european countries and france and this tells you that the time is a playing an important role here we are going to sign during and then a christmas and i think this time is and i think they play on the time to kill the story and to kill even the pressure from turkey on those demands because basically those demands to the international community turkish government already submitted requests to the security council and as we see are we are heading to the christmas holiday things will be really nearly did the international arena with all of these

changes so i think we are facing a new phase of this story which is you know it is not in favor of keeping the story actually boiling as it was absolutely so the pressure is on the technicians are it's not really as you say to keep the momentum going and we're talking just hours after the saudi foreign minister made a few gave a few interviews and in which he talked about there being red lines saudi he said and i paraphrase was not prepared to accept any kind of criticism of the royal family particularly the king the custody of the two months and the crown prince reza self but when it comes to the list of those suspects who saudi the saudi justice system has now within its reach all of those individuals report to a boss does say where does the line of responsibility fall within the saudis.

administration so d. has defined the story and the said he's the man number two in the intelligence amid a serious so that's as close the file that's what they want and i think now they are benefiting of the reaction of the white house after the cia report if you if you if you look carefully to the number of the statement made by so does after the white house reaction comparing with the actions before that it was a huge difference they become more active and of populous but the place city of the narrative reacting to the previous narratives and again it's the time issue is playing very they played very well so what and saying now ok this is the person who is in charge this is what our investigation did indicate so let's move on and focus on those suspects it's sixteen or eighteen suspects and my point is of course all of these eighteen operatives report to somebody else give us an idea of how power is distributed if indeed it is

a toll within the saudi administration it's hard to see this because we know there was a major change after crown prince came to power after he basically had been appointed by his father because we know that he was collecting all of the support his had the intelligence the ministry of defense the interior ministry those are the bodies that those people have been going to so it's hard to say that those people has nothing to do with someone found a prince no no the so is trying to say actually no he's not he doesn't know anything about it and syria he was behind the story and if you look today towards trying to some newspaper saying they have a table about you know phone calls between. him and his brother that still is you still there is a pressure from international community on you know following up those all of those leaking and find the person who is actually behind the whole story and we've seen all say the turkish foreign minister. repair longside federica

a needy foreign policy chief she's also backing this call for an international independent inquiry and collectively how much weight do you think the european union has in terms of siding with with turkey's position in all of this given that the american administration is as hesitant if not reluctant to the turkish authorities it is important to seem them to to keep them in term and say we are not alone in the platform we are not turkey there are other partners there are other countries who believe that what happened is wrong and some people people or the should be hold accountable so the key these kind of these kind of meetings and conferences are important and i think they will work on them to increase those kinds of meetings with the diplomats and the from european countries because it's not good to stay alone in this but that is where the try to to keep actually that

they are engaged with the international community in condemning what happened to. thank you very much indeed. lots more to come on this hour jazeera news hour including india and china are vying for influence over sri lanka's economic future plus. the refugees call it the game but it's the game they're always losing the european union has turned their back on their suffering i'm david chaytor in bosnia herzegovina. and once in a name taiwanese prepared to vote on what to call their team at an olympics that's coming up with peter in support. of the u.s. defense secretary james mattis says the saudi coalition has pulls its offensive

around her data that the u.n. special envoy to yemen is expected to go to the port city sometime on thursday or on friday earlier this week martin griffiths met hoofy rebel leaders in the capital sanaa mohammed has more now from nearby djibouti. the residents of today the architect go to quibble there's no meaningful cease fire to talk about they're still sporadic cautious between the parties with each side of a pool fighting the fos short when they announced that they were going to stop more drone ballistic missile attacks against the who the fighters walk up to that they still reserve the right to defend their positions with which they have been fortifying in the past days they've also been talking about the. the other side cutting out attacks on their differences and positions in the

different frontlines in the city the residents of the city say some fighting has been going on outskirts of the city jim montes the u.s. defense secretary saying that there's been a ceasefire by the other side and us called on all parties to seize the hostilities under tom talks. now the wife of a u.k. citizen who was handed a life sentence by a court in the u.a.e. for spying says the british government has put its relationship with its ally ahead of this welfare the family of matthew hedges says there are contradictions between the official statement from the us prosecutor general and what actually happened also accuse the gulf state of presenting fabricated evidence britain's foreign secretary has warned of serious diplomatic consequences for the united arab emirates. the news about matthew hedges is absolutely devastating and our thoughts are with matthew and his wife daniela and his family today. and we are incredibly

disappointed that the usa should do this we see no foundation in the charges that have been laid against him we've raised the issue repeatedly i raised it last week with crown prince mohammed himself and yet despite that we have today's news there will be serious diplomatic consequences for a country that says that it is a friend and ally of the united kingdom but right now our thoughts with matthew and his family and we want to do everything we can to get him home as soon as possible by this at the very latest now from our correspondent in london paul brennan paul what are the families say the major inconsistences are contradictions then in the oath or it is of u.a.e. and their their statement of what has gone on. yes the family has issued a statement complaining bitterly at the treatment of matthew had his in the u.a.e.

the u.a.e. is attorney general put out a statement on weapons day saying that matthew had had all due process the family to contradict that and say look he had the first three meetings he didn't have a lawyer present and he was held in solitary confinement without any legal representation for five months and the number of appearances he had in total by my arithmetic was six before this this life sentence was handed down the base of the family are extremely unhappy with the process that has been going through that he was held without being told what the charges were against him and this kind of summary justice which has been handed down by the united arab emirates has also been condemned criticized by the foreign and commonwealth office here in london extremely unhappy at the way that the u.a.e. judicial system is has acted here and we just said jeremy hunt talking about the being deeply disappointed as well he might be given that he was in abu dabi having

meetings with the scene yes salon's of the government there just days before this last sentence was handed down. indeed it was just ten days ago he met the crown prince you heard him in his in his little clip of sound that. apparently he was given assurances about matthew had his fate and the and the likely outcome of the of the proceedings those assurances appear to been worthless so what is happening at the moment is that later on this afternoon matthew had his wife daniella to how the who arrived back here in the u.k. the smalling on a flight from the u.a.e. is due to meet with jeremy hunt the foreign secretary that nella to how that has been somewhat critical of the foreign office here in the u.k. for not acting quickly enough and strongly enough in the early months of matthew's detention she has been quite scathing about that i think the foreign office will hope that by bringing her and the foreign secretary together in one room to discuss

the case they can iron out their differences and both proceed in the same direction and that is with the intention of securing matthews' release as quickly as possible because as you heard from the foreign secretary and you will hear you can hear the that what daniel daniela said which was that basically matthew is an innocent academic just there in the u.a.e. for two weeks of academic research for his ph d. thesis and that is a and that counts which is backed up by friends colleagues people that university where he was doing his thesis all saying that matthew is certainly not what he is alleged to be certainly not a spy for britain who brennen live in london thank. lebanon is marking its seventy fifth independence from france but critics say there's little to celebrate it no government the six months as politicians argue about power sharing people have taken to the streets to show their frustration with

a sectarian political system that they say breeds corruption and incompetence then reports from beirut. it's been seventy five years since lebanon and cheve independence but instead of celebrating these people are protesting the crowd is small a few hundred turn up even though the majority of lebanese suffer from a lack of electricity rising unemployment and dire economic conditions this doesn't surprise civil society activists who aren't able to exploit the state's resources in the same way as the traditional political class so there are some people who are afraid to talk about what they think and what they need because maybe they got their jobs due to political parties they have their children in hospital so do you support that with the help of political parties. exchanging goods or services for boats is part of political life in lebanon so is foreign intervention i do not

believe that we have anything to them but this is something of a government that decision that i think these other regimes. a few kilometers away lebanon's leaders mark the ok jand but there has been no functioning government for more than six months the country is no stranger to political stalemate because of the links officials have with regional players who use lebanon as a battleground this protest movement is relatively small when compared to rallies organized by political parties it is hard to attract large crowds independently of sectarian parties that dominate politics this is what these people hope to change. calls for change are not new a few years ago protests about. the rubbish crisis turned into a campaign against the political elite there were demands for regime change not long after there was a crackdown by security forces the first time it's been through the squares we've

been under. small guy bombs and stuff and you know nothing strange thing they would even up turn into we need to get rid of the governing body right now which has been exploiting the country and it's been working against us interests. they converge on lebanon's martyrs square to voice their grievances this has become a symbolic space throughout the country's turbulent history we want a revolution some chopped a challenging the sectarian state. most lebanese are members of their sect first with very few identifying with the nation. beirut one half a million civil servants are taking part in a nationwide strike in tunisia after the government and labor unions failed to reach an agreement the pay progress is when the government to honor last month's agreement to raise public wages at a time when inflation is at a record high the country's under immense pressure from international lenders to

freeze wages in order to reduce the budget deficit of thousands of people caught up in the california wildfires will be spending thanksgiving homeless survive also bracing for heavy rainfall as much as twenty centimeters of rain is expected by friday and the latest death toll has gone up to eighty three with hundreds of others still missing. well thanksgiving weekend is underway in the u.s. and there's at least a small reason for thanks in california yes you just heard i think actually might be exaggerating the risk which is probably because of the thanks is for right so this is the west coast and this is in our sights and we've not seen very much kareen for quite a long time this good spells of rain to come in at least first central valley and areas to the north this is what's been happening in the last thirty six i was or so now the picture over this is paradise we started with is of rainfall and so at least now the fire is being dumped out in this part of california that's about the

only bit of good news there is really because the amount of rain they were light at the moment is likely to increase we've seen thirty seven marys in paradise and then in malibu which is near to the major fire and. the sun just twenty eight minute basis that's all i've seen in the last twenty four hours maybe forty eight hours or so that there is more to swing in mostly in the north is the huge amount of snow to come in which is good news for the future that would capture the rain itself get down to central valley be more in paradise they could be out of the hundred that is exaggeration to say two hundred but nevertheless hundreds enough to cause ash flow for example and mudslides and of course all the hills are rather more vulnerable to that moment so if i run this through then in the next following twenty four hours or so the rain goes and then disappears completely the other story. is the cold in new york minus six marty. thank you very much indeed rob now the race is on to

suspects in jamal khashoggi his murder to be tried in turkey. and turkey are calling for those responsible for his death to be held accountable amid growing calls for an independent international investigation. turkish media is reporting that the cia has evidence which links saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man to the killing of jamal khashoggi a columnist for putting yet newspaper wrote that mohammed bin salmond instructed his brother the ambassador to washington to silence jamal khashoggi as soon as possible this conversation was reportedly captured in a wiretapped phone call. in yemen fighting continued continuing in the port city of a data despite u.s. defense secretary james mattis saying the saudi coalition has stopped its offensive . and the british prime minister trees amaze says a future relationship deal with the e.u. after brics it has now been agreed she called it the right deal for you the u.k.

in order to leave the european union the e.u. is cheryl to vote only agreement on sunday the british people want this to be settled they want a good deal that sets us on a course for a brighter future that deal is within our grasp and i am determined to deliver it. well let's go live to. westminster and say this is a deal that's been agreed with the president of the e.u. commission on the future relationship of the united kingdom with the e.u. after bracks it. yes that's right will is but a very very busy few days for the british prime minister in the space of only a few days what has happened is that they've been to outline agreements in principle that have been

a station essentially sort of built upon for negotiation and discussion and debate now for the twenty seven the first or so withdrawal agreement all about britain's departure of course in the european union the second now on the future political relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. we know according to donald tusk and according also to the british prime minister speaking earlier. that it's been agreed between the u.k. and the european commission on negotiators level and now needs to be debated politically and agreed politically by the e.u. twenty seven the all important e.u. summit in brussels on sunday now the twenty six page document has been largely leaked we know what's in it we know that it deals with things like access to each other's fishing areas we know that it talks about the mobility about the movement of e.u. and u.k. nationals between each other's territory we know that it also also deals with the kind of trade access and trade routes that may well exist between the two areas

post breaks the two and it looks also some serious red lines may have been crossed in trying to hammer out this agreement. if you look at the details right first when it comes to mobility talk of there being no need for visas in the short term but also when it comes to things like trade no mention of frictionless trade raising the prospect of potential barriers. between the e.u. and the u.k. going forward it's going to be hard to sell this one of the commons by to resign sort of the day of but first things first i mean he's going to make a statement isn't she in the house and he's going to talk about how great a deal and it is which apparently. seems to agree with her but there's no guarantee is that come sunday that the rest of the other twenty seven members are going to agree with it we know that spain particularly has concerns about the ses of gibraltar. yeah that's right that's according to a spanish diplomatic source comments being made on twitter implying that the

spanish government and its leader of course might be on the boy would be prepared to vote down any potential breaks it deal in brussels on sunday over a lack of clarity on the status of the border between gibraltar part of the u.k. and spain an e.u. member and of course also because of the lack of clarity to when it comes to whether or not they will indeed be frictionless trade that also has implications for the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland as well the british government has suggested that that solution could be found in a high tech solution of the kind that exists between canada and the u.s. but those technical solutions took decades to introduce it took billions of dollars of investment to see that high tech solution in place there what would that potentially mean for both of these borders between gibraltar and spain between the republic of ireland and northern ireland all right now thank you very much there

live at westminster in central london. now the number of migrants and refugees arriving in europe is at its lowest for the past five years a tough european stance has prevented many from entering but those stuck in limbo impulse near every veiled stories of brutality by croatian border police david chase who has been to the border border town of be hard to find out more was a star through. the bosnian border city of be harsh is on the frontline of europe's latest refugee crisis the residents are no strangers to warfare and his affects the fighting in the civil war here in the one nine hundred ninety s. displaced two million people they were demanding their government to take action to provide the refugees with humane living conditions that same night we found a group of afghan teenagers huddled around an electric fire at the main station they told me in graphic detail how croat border guards had kicked them and beaten

them with truncheons or who the fuck they were for their mobile phones were smashed and they were forced back into the river that runs along the border line one of them had his head held under the water. the line between bosnia and croatia is the european union's longest and most fun rable external border fear is being used to defend it the refugees call it the game but it's a brutal game trying to find the weakest point in a border that stretches for more than nine hundred kilometers with croatia we've found with local help this crossing point you can simply walk through but you don't know how far you're going to get or what's going to happen to you. the injuries being suffered by the refugees act as a clear warning to others when they return to their makeshift camps aid workers estimate there are now five thousand of them stuck in the limbo of bosnia there are shelters but only a few hundred they've come from syria somalia pakistan and iraq most of them said

they must first convince their party one is close to angle americal and seen by some as her natural successor for her competence in government are the watchwords my the president if you like a shot. i bring my personal outlook and previous experience as a federal minister and prime minister of sand if the question is about character and that's why i am the right candidate for you to elect by me then there is the young pretender who believes the party should move further right and reengage with voters lost during merkel's time in office ya. yes the turnout in the general election was up but our vote dropped last people's trust voters sent us a message that things weren't going how they should like for example diesel they're asking themselves will they be able to drive their cars in the cities or not finally there is anger americans former rival a man who left politics after being sidelined by her nearly ten years ago he's

returned now to say the party needs reinvigoration our. funding and. we will only achieve it if we stay firmly anchored in the political center ground don't turn left or right but we must win back those we've lost in the last few years this will only work if we were a christian democratic union that welcomes people whatever their background but which is clearly identifiable with western christian and jewish values. the post was about giving the members the chance to see these candidates up close and personal and for them to work out which ones they think can take their party forward and women next general election or just i'm a citizen misunderstood my feeling is to be defied it every scary impressed i feed a mess but the nicads come caus i was also very interesting. from the three candidates i prefer village mats because i am very happy that you come back into.
