i think they can't afford at this point to do without the couple of billions of pounds worth of arms deals that are being made in this part of the world just because they're losing quite a lot of market share in the european union by leaving the euro by leaving the european union so i think as a market post breaks it i think the goal is very significant for britain and i don't think britain at this point i was thinking about any serious sanctions all right and there is craig we thank you for speaking to us on al-jazeera while saudi arabia's foreign minister has once again reiterated that the crown prince was not involved in hustles is murder the leadership of surgery been presented in the king and from france is a red line for the saudi man or woman the country is totally supportive of them to condemn the saudi arabia is committed to the vision that our leaders have put forth for us in terms of vision twenty thirty and in terms of moving along the path of reform victoria again being takes a closer look at the evidence the u.s.

four nine and on facebook we are getting a comment on the arm story we brought you just a moment ago our viewers saying the weapons you're selling to saudi arabia didn't kill you they are using the weapons to kill innocent people in yemen and speaking of yemen the u.s. defense secretary james mattis has said that the saudi u.a.e. coalition has paused its offensive around the port city of ho data the u.n. special envoy to yemen is expected to travel to the port city this week there he is martin griffiths met with who feet rebel leaders in the capital sanaa on wednesday he's pushing for all parties to uphold pledges to join peace talks in sweden next month mohamed the dough following the story from neighboring djibouti to talk us through martin griffiths ayman what he plans to do in yemen.

well daryn martin griffith is in the middle of the biggest diplomatic push in two years to. polls the fighting in yemen and retire on the parties in the conflict to peace talks this time in sweden early december is what he said nor definite date has been given so far he is there to get a farm commitment to the talks from the who with us and also see for himself how the humanitarian. response is going all in the port city of the day there which is a vital to the efforts to feed the millions of yemenis who need food aid in order to survive of course the whole these have intimated that they are willing to attend the talks but last during the last round of talks in geneva the could not leave because they said that the sudanese have stopped them from living and also

they do not have any assurance that they will come and bach so good if it is now promising them that he will be traveling with them and has sought. the permission for them to do it tom once they're done with the talks and mohamed there's been a lot of focus on how data itself and the u.s. is saying that the coalition has forced its offensive there what are you hearing about the situation on the ground. well residents of the city are talking about sporadic clashes especially in the evenings between the whole thesis on the pro-government alliance made up of potch walk off. fighters who are loyal to the government of president of the rebel monsoon harvey who are leading the fighting on the ground. that they have not been fighting the fust the same claims also coming from the other side but what we know is that most of the fighting since the offensive of the war sort of started weeks ago has

been confined to the eastern suburbs of the city that fortified the city they have dug trenches and have also taken empty containers which they have to fortify to the port we. have seen videos of pro-government fighters going into the compound and then the explosions that this made them all so the defense that the who things are putting is really stiff and despite the loud claims of victory by the saudi democratic coalition we can confirm that they have not been able to penetrate and into the city so far and what is all of this what impact others all of this that having on the civilians there and the humanitarian situation. well what's making the situation even more didn't the talks more partin and is the fact that the city of vital port there is crucial to the law is

a crucial lifeline for millions of yemenis that comes through there if it's disrupted even for a day or two that will have ramifications across the whole of yemen and that is one of the reasons why we're seeing the international community for the fust time being consensus among them that there is a need to stop the fighting in the day that we're talking of very grim statistics eighty five thousand children dying in the past four years because of starvation moment three ssion related diseases according to save the children. charity we're also hearing a lot of people who need aid there were eight million just a month ago. fourteen million and all but depend on vital aid coming in through these port which is making the international community be even

more. i'm in. the that's why they are trying as much as possible to stop the fighting want some for all and with time the parties to talks all right dire situation there mohammed thank you for that update from so after three years of for and with talks scheduled for next month could this be a pivotal moment for yemen and why is the u.s. stepping up its pressure now in pushing for peace talks and her guests debate this very issue on a recent episode of inside story which you can find on al-jazeera dot com. an american man has been killed by an endangered tribe in india's nicobar islands for us here about story well thanks daryn now the man identified as john allen chow is a missionary and explorer from alabama it's reported that people from the sentinel lease tribe shot chow with arrows and left his body on the beach police say seven fishermen have been arrested for illegally taking him to the island the local

administration says chala rived in the area on october sixteenth and stayed on another island while he prepared to travel to north cincinnati now his family posted this message on instagram saying chalo was trying to reach out to members of the sentinel is tribe then adding we forgive those reportedly responsible for his death he ventured out on his own free will and his local contacts need not be prosecuted for his own actions nor since mel is one of the audience collectively known as and a man in the bay of bengal people they have lived in almost complete isolation from the outside world for nearly sixty thousand years and very little is actually known about them a major concern is that they do come if they do come in contact with outside is they could be exposed to germs or diseases like the flu and also the measles to which they have no resistance now over the years india has allowed the tribe to live without any government or external intrusion in one thousand nine hundred one

it placed an exclusion zone around north and south island to keep tourists and poachers away but recently india has changed some of those rules on visiting isolated regions in the un demands while special permits are required scholars have said the visits are now allowed in some parts where they used to be entirely forbid and this includes north sentinel police say that child did not have a permit though. now survival international is a nonprofit dedicated to the protection of isolated tribal groups and they say that allowing tourist access to the island has sent the wrong message survivor international is really concerned about the recent incident of an american man being killed by members of the sentinels tribe in the andaman islands this is a tragedy that should never have been allowed to happen it's absolutely essential that the lands of the sentinels and or on one time to the peoples are protected from outsiders. contacted tribes especially the sentinels because of their extreme

isolation of really vulnerable to disease is brought in from outside and their land must be protected to save them oh would love to get your thoughts on the story should endangered tribes be protected let us know is the hash tag it in his grid and we're also covering the story online so you can head to al-jazeera dot com you can read more about the mystery and the tribe living on the islands all at al-jazeera dot com. if you're watching us on facebook live coming up in just a moment for you we have a story about skin whitening products they're damaging the skin of many women in so don and also ahead on the news grid is a long running dot's tradition perpetuating racist stereotypes the debate over black stories coming up in a moment. hello

it's back to snow quite heavily from turkmenistan northwards is this system here which i think coming against the himalayan plateau is rod is stuck so it will produce or the next two days significant snow from the north of afghanistan right up to conflict and then as a gap we pick up the next system which almost certainly bring flooding to iraq and to kuwait possibly the occasional but as far west as jordan next systems already setting up so there's rain coming in as you see from the eastern med even touching northern egypt to bring itself into sort of the border into northern study by saturday it's a wet pavement and as i said the snow is persistent elsewhere but of course there's a sudden element to this is pushing through kuwait into the northeast of saudi arabia that line of cloud extends down towards mecca thunderstorms here will be substantial it's almost inevitable loosies in russia the roads get next to it what with third or fourth time in the last month the right itself might move down through the rain and even qatar giving same risk of flooding in the next day or so

. jumping down to the south of africa and we've seen this persistent line of cloud the last couple days well some showers just touching the eastern side of south africa and zimbabwe but it's a dry picture there. stories of life. and inspiration. a series of short documentaries from around the wilds that celebrate the human spirit against the odds. al-jazeera selects gangs. investigating a murder by the indonesian military in one thousand nine hundred ninety nine

al-jazeera correspondent step vasant takes us on a personal journey back to east timor recalling memories which impacted deeply on her chosen career the life and the lives of others now an early two decades later she goes face to face with those responsible trail of murder indonesia's bloody retreat on al-jazeera.

those are the headlines and i'm here and these are the most read articles right now on al-jazeera dot com more fallout on the story and the top spot u.s. politicians accuse trump of putting saudi arabia first you could have to al-jazeera dot com to read more about that story as well as the day's other top stories. now a long running tradition in the netherlands is confronted with anti racism protests where he was back to tell us what that's about reeva altering is all about black pete a st nicholas character that's often portrayed by white people wearing blackface the baits in the netherlands has become extremely divisive in recent years more activists are now setting out to protest against the count to which they say promotes racist stereotypes they see black pete as

a prime example of how racism and traces of slavery a still present in dutch culture today supporters say it's an innocent traditional children's karratha auguring that getting rid of it would be equal to selling out dutch identity now this is what some people in the netherlands have to say about the controversy. like it's a racist tradition here in the netherlands. like face paint i believe skin color is not a question especially not if you look at our violent history of enslaving oppressing black people here in the netherlands needs to change because you use racist when i was small i grew up with the story of black people shipping you off to spain who put you in a bank and shipped off to spain if you've been on so the mark b. debate is one that i think is very important and very overdue it's essentially part of sort of

a reckoning with our colonial past and at the same time it also goes to the heart of the question of what kind of society do we want to be to you know do we want to be this in this inclusive and tolerant and progressive society that we always say we or well just last week people across the country took to the streets to demand an end to the black face tradition and on social media the protests continues with uses sharing pictures with the dutch hash tag black pete is racism and clips like these are also going viral according to dutch major it shows football fans confronting a small group of anti pete protesters and using offensive and racist language and it's also this picture which is said by vice news with people making racist remarks and also use the nazi salute as they as you can see there received quite a strong backlash online as well as well that politicians have weighed in prime minister has appealed for calm saying i quote i think society agrees on one thing

we grant children the magic of the st nicholas party. and there are more reactions as well people are outraged on both sides online marcus says if you have a problem with culture and a very old non racist tradition you should leave this country now and others don't agree adding how does a child going down a chimney explain the big red lips and the afro hair another as i was born and raised with this tradition i'm ashamed to say i was brainwashed into it and this update has just now expanded around all of europe with one person saying she's glad to see the duchess starting to stir things up come on belgium and that's because a similar black pete debate is happening there as well do you think the character black pete is racist so what's your thoughts use the hash tag for it i really think you let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world and hamas in the gaza strip has released photos off individuals they accuse of taking part in

a botched is released forces operation earlier this month it led to the worst violence since the war in twenty fourteen seventy dekker as the details from west jerusalem. amasses military wing of the kasam brigade is issued picture showing six men and two women and also two pictures of vehicles one of them a van they say which are part of the people involved in that israeli special forces botched raid that led israel and hamas to the brink of war they're calling on information inside gaza whether anyone has seen these people and there's a phone number to call and the reaction here in israel the army has said not to share the pictures not to retrieve them because they are on social media and saying it can in danger lives it says that how mass is trying to figure out the details decipher what really happened and in their words on this raid deep inside

gaza so it is an interesting statement from the army saying at some point whether the information in these pictures is right or wrong this is of course that borscht rage on sunday night about two weeks ago now that led to the biggest escalation that we've seen between two sides how mouse firing four hundred sixty rockets at israel that led to a spiral of events including the resignation of israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman who wasn't satisfied with the cease fire that ensued so these really is are more urging people not to share the information but it seems that hamas is monitoring says that they know who these men are and these women and they want more information while britain's prime minister says breck's that negotiations have reached a critical moment to resume made the comments as she laid out her plan for britain to leave the european union to the u.k. parliament on sunday european leaders are expected to hold a vote on the draft on may said she do everything possible to deliver the deal.

the negotiations are now at a critical moment and all our efforts must be focused on working with our european partners to bring this process to a final conclusion in the interests of all our people last night i spoke to prime minister sanchez of spain we have been working constructively with the governments of spain and gibraltar in the negotiations on the withdrawal agreement and we want this work to continue in the future relationship but i was absolutely clear that gibraltar as british sovereignty will be protected. and that the future relationship we have agree must work for the whole u.k. family while the u.a.e. says it wants to find an amicable solution with britain in the case of matthew hedges he's a british citizen who has been handed a life sentence by the u.a.e. for spying hedges as a wife is accusing britain of putting diplomatic relations ahead of his welfare his

family says there are contradictions between the u.a.e. prosecutor general statement and what actually happens they also accuse the gulf state of presenting fabricated evidence britain's foreign secretary has warned of serious diplomatic consequences for the u.a.e. the news about matthew hedges is absolutely devastating and our thoughts are with matthew and his wife danielle 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

paul brennan has more from london. this is turning into a really serious diplomatic incident in relation to the u.k. and its close previous ally the united arab emirates daniela taha to the wife of matthew had just has landed back here in london on thursday morning after an overnight flight from the u.a.e. and been very critical of both the u.a.e. is judicial system and the way it operated in matthew's case but also of the foreign office on the way it operates will fail to support actually that in her words matthew throughout his ordeal what she said in this radio interview was that i believe they should have taken a firm a stance from the beginning if not publicly than at least through private representation this is something i think they failed to do then we started taking a firm approach once matthew was released on bail she says i was under the impression they were getting putting their interests with the u.a.e. above the british citizens rights to full freedom and his right to justice and

a fair trial now understandably she was tired she was emotional she was upset just seen her husband sentenced to life imprisonment but to be faster the foreign office the language from there both last night and today thursday has been very strong indeed unusually strong i would say the foreign secretary jeremy hunt has issued a statement a video statement and gone social media so the pressure is really on the united arab emirates to explain how it is that they can jail a person who his friends his colleagues and now the british government say is simply an academic well over in the united states today is thanksgiving day it's a holiday traditionally defined by shopping sports and a large dinner with extended family that can sometimes be awkward for people involved especially when the conversation turns to politics so with that in mind one nonprofit is using tech to teach americans how to be agreeable when they disagree meets the angry uncle bots it's a chat program that's. that simulates

a conversation with a relative who seems determined to pick a fight so as the angry uncle throws out one provocative statements after another users are prompted to offer a possible replies i've been offered critiques designed to point the conversation in directions that are constructive rather than confrontational karin to marius is the founder of that nonprofit organization smart politics he's also the creator of the angry and we bought she joined us she's joining us from berkeley in california where it's all very early karen on this thanksgiving morning so we appreciate your time with us here on al-jazeera i suppose the most obvious question is tell us why you created this body and why now well here in the united states. politics have gotten extremely polarized right now it is much harder for americans to talk with each other when they disagree then it has

been in probably forty years and a lot of times we are very tribal in our political beliefs and it causes us to have extremely negative feelings about one another and that can come out when people get together at holiday gatherings so when you've come up with a specific methods event to help people navigate these difficult conversations talk to us about that method and how you came up with it. sure so what i do is called the radical conversation cycle it's a five step process for having conversations and the goal is to avoid the kinds of inflammatory comments that can set people off into a fight or flight response and it calms the conversation down enough that people can listen to each other i developed the approach in part by drawing on

conversations that i had myself with conservatives i'm a progressive i live in berkeley but after the twenty sixteen election i decided it was really important to learn how to start talking with conservatives and so i got on facebook and started having challenging discussions about issues. that that really divide americans and through that process i started to realize actually there are ways to have these conversations that don't turn into fights and not only that where we can actually start influencing each other's opinions so speaking of the twenty sixteen. election you have said that right across the country members of your group are using this process to heal relationships and that's particularly coming off that divisive election just tell

us a little bit about some of the results you've seen. right so a lot of the people who've joined our organization we have about seventy five hundred members across the country a lot of them have come to us because of family rests they've found that they can't speak with their parents or can't be with their siblings anymore because of political divisions and so they came to us to get training in how to have these conversations and the reports i'm getting back are really encouraging they're able for the first time to sit down with people they haven't been able to have real conversations with and make a connection and actually feel like they're being heard and that the other person is that they are able to understand where the other person is coming from

and just as a last question how do you see all of this developing what is your aim here for the future with the spots well for me what's really important is to get these tools out into the hands of his many people as possible i'm a political activist for me i want to make sure that i can go out and communicate with people i disagree with in an effective manner what i don't want is to start fights or be adversarial i want us to recognize that even though we disagree we're actually on this theme team and this technique makes it possible to have conversations that ultimately result in better solutions for the country so we thank you very much for joining us on al jazeera where you can practice discussing a couple of difficult topics would be angry uncle boughts got shot program created

to help teach you the techniques it's on the new york times so you can help there and search for and report. well for our facebook viewers at home you'll see a video coming up about the world's most endangered rhino in just a moment in the sports news bron james gets a very different reception in cleveland than he did on his first return eight years ago paul will be here with that story just a moment but first here's a look at the world weather.

so as we said earlier it's thanksgiving day in the united states thursday is the fifty fifth anniversary of president john f. kennedy's assassination but it's being marked a little differently this year rahima that's right daryn i'm always seeing multiple tributes on social media with me tweeting in his ana the j.f.k. library foundation has teamed up with the martin agency to launch a project called words count sharing inspiring quotes from the america's thirty fifth president and people online are wondering if this might be

a swipe at president trump and his use of social media well some of these are echoing a lot of the current of great set right now politically taking place in the united states like this one which says too often we subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations we enjoy the comforts of opinion without the discomfort of thought or this one on immigration where it says everywhere immigrants have enraged and strengthened the fabric of american life and even as far as press freedom so like this one that it is to bring the printing press to reorder the man's deeds the keep the office conscience the korea of his news that we look to strength and assistant confidence that with your help man will be what he was born to be free and independent let us know what you think does it have anything to do with the current us president use the hash tag age and his grades. really thank you well let's check in on some of the day's other news now in sri

lanka as recent political crisis has caused concern in the region especially in india and china the two economic giants have been lobbying for influence in the country for years beijing sees the island nation as a crucial part of fitz plan to expand its trading routes burnitz with reports from colombo. for centuries stopping off in sri lanka on china's ancient silk road trade routes linking east with west merchants would buy spices poland ivory today china see sri lanka as a critical link in its modern day silk road what it calls its belt and road initiative is building infrastructure projects to expand trade from asia africa and europe. china's spending spree is making india nervous and it's helped to cause friction at the top of the sri lankan government ending up with president my three policy or a cena firing the prime minister running all wickramasinghe china has been quite

active in taking or projects in sri lanka not only government project if you were only you in private sector projects there was an attempt on the part of prime minister commencing to allow india. indian company to pick or one of the sections of the colombo port to which the president was not in agreement so if you take that into consideration one would see. new delhi is not very happy that it will open the port in the south was built with chinese loans but it's so under used that the sri lankan government couldn't afford to keep it running so it gave the chinese government a foothold with a ninety nine year lease sri lanka owes more than fifty billion dollars to foreign lenders but seventy seven percent of g.d.p. chinese loans make up eight billion dollars of that but india and japan are owed much more their problem is not enough aid or anyone else the problem is that they

believe we have to do a lot of work here and those investments have to be in how to be many fully and in a way that they really did a good return so that we will be able to be bad the problem has been dead those investments i believe probably we might need them now the binion twentieth game but at the moment we have a big role in next year sri lanka has to start paying back more than four billion dollars in foreign loans and not just got harder because the rupee is foreign to its lowest level ever against the dollar that could force the government to look for sympathetic friends willing to help ease the country's debt. bernard smith al-jazeera columbia. well the board of japanese car firm misson has voted to sack carlos watson as chairman following his arrest this week listen has been charged with financial misconduct he was detained after an internal investigation revealed

he was using company money and under reporting his salary for years the son is also renault's chairman and chief executive of the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis says troops along the southern border with mexico have been given permission to use their batons to stop any violence nearly six thousand personnel are ready to help border police stop asylum seekers who are traveling across mexico towards the united states john heilemann reports from the mexican border city of tijuana. it was. cold and hungry after a day's travel to one of the mates can u.s. border around one thousand people arriving at the final base camp for a caravan of central americans they join about three thousand already here preparing for the final leg of their journey. my dream is to arrive in the united states to help my mother she has troubles i'm twenty seven and she raised me alone may god help me cross. but that crossing won't happen for some time if it does at

all the u.s. authorities are processing asylum claims slowly and beefing up border security to become a bolt from that this is just one of the long lines of people waiting to get into the sports complex that's been converted into a temporary migrant shelter but it was already almost full before there right and the challenge for authorities here in three one is going to be what do they do with all these extra people. the new arrivals woke up after a night sleeping on a baseball field. you know when we arrived it was freezing and we didn't have any shelter to the children so we all woke up points because of the jews there. with thousands more in the way the city's authorities don't know where they are temporarily put the the situation's increasingly volatile says t one as police chief in the one that you. know city is prepared to receive this amount of people i

think the amount of artwork that's being churned out right now with some bottle meat there of whatever is happening not only in the country but you know in the world through this under siege and the state placed the pin down. media art would always be an effective second line of defense. to the president to be good at there to was sworn into office the number of artworks highlighting controversial issues continues to grow like the government's war on drugs that has left thousands of filipinos dead. the resurgence of protests art is seen as a response to the growing authoritarianism in the country but artists here tell us finding the moral courage to do so doesn't come easy. it is creative provocative and won the residents more with ordinary working people

and their struggles than the more privileged in society. much of the art is identified with the leftist movement in the country one that's often been at odds with governments past and present it starts. during the martial law period an artist tries to confess what he feels what he thinks should be seen by the public that challenge us people to thing. women so representative rights militarization and the displacement of indigenous peoples are just some of the issues artists do the child we from. people who see this art see they recognize the courage needed by the artists to produce and show their work art that aims to mirror society rather than escape it. has never been more relevant in the country. duggan zero.

the tape during a recent visit to turkey the xcel journalist was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul last month according to her yet report the cia is understood to have a recording of the crown prince telling his brother the saudi ambassador to washington must be silence to soon as possible well the e.u.'s foreign policy chief federico greenies been holding talks with turkey's foreign minister and said all those responsible for the murder must be held to account the european position has been very clear from the very beginning. we have all was calling for completely transparent and credible investigation that we have not seen yet completed. we expect that accountability is in short which means that those responsible those really responsible for this terrible murder have to be taken accountable saudi arabia's foreign minister says that his

government was not involved in jamal khashoggi murder which riyadh says was a rogue operation victoria gave me takes a closer look now at the evidence relating to those known to be suspects and their links to the government. the u.s. has imposed sanctions on seventeen saudi officials for their suspected involvement in the killing of jamal khashoggi they include a fifteen man hit squad that travelled to turkey to carry out the operation so who made up this team and who did they report to let's start with abdel aziz matric who is believed to have been the coordinator of the operation he's a general in crown prince mohammed bin soundman security team next we have saddam hamit al sabaidee an expert in autopsies and a colonel in saudi arabia's interior ministry it's headed by prince abdullah zs bin sowed else out he reports directly to king solomon old the crown prince six members

of the team that killed were part of the crown prince's security detail three others were members of the national guard an internal security force which protects the royal family it's led by prince khalid bin abdel aziz al muqrin and one was a member of the role saudi af force it's part of the ministry of defense which falls under the control of the crown prince the us is also impose sanctions on saudi tani he's a senior advisor to crown prince mohammed bin salomon and on mohammed al a table the saudi consul general in istanbul where he shows he was murdered he reports to the saudi foreign ministry which is led by adult. his department issued the passports used by the hit team to end to turkey the private jets they flew in from riyadh to istanbul and back which charted from a company owned by the saudi government. just to bring you

a quick update on the story some international reaction from france to the murder of jamal khashoggi the country imposing travel bans on eighteen saudi citizens over the killing and also one. line that frank french sanctions could potentially be widened to other individuals that specify who those individuals would be depending on what the investigation reveals well let's now speak to our white house correspondent can really help it in washington what more do we know about the cia recording can really. well certainly the latest coming from the turkish media is consistent with leaks that we've been hearing in washington not only published by the washington post but also from another non of the state department officials that say very much that the recording seemed to conclusively point to the saudi crown prince as being the one

who ordered the killing of. sensually the recordings are these intercepts between the kill team that happened before and after the killing but what's most interesting is just in the last hour the u.s. president donald trump has called into question that intelligence yet again speaking from florida it is mar-a lago resort he says that the cia assessment in no way concludes that the crown prince was responsible or ordered this killing this is again in contrast to what we're hearing not only in the united states but the turkish media instead donald trump calling this quote false reporting says that the cia assessment from the fact that he has viewed it says that it says that the crown prince might have done it but might not have done it his words points both ways now given the fact that the president is saying one thing but we are hearing leaks that appear to be coordinated not only in turkey but also in the united states only underscores what i think we're going to continue to see and that is members of

congress pressing to have the cia assessment made public. and that's going to be crucial now isn't it kimberly but i suppose trauma's comments potentially put him yet again with his own intelligence agencies. yeah not only putting rigid odds with the intelligence agencies but putting them at odds with public consensus not just in the united states but around the world but even as the president is speaking and throwing doubt on the cia conclusions or assessments we see the president defending as we saw in his statement on tuesday on twitter today defending the u.s. saudi relationship again as he spoke from mar a lago in the last hour calling saudi arabia a strong ally he doesn't want to in any way harm the relationship by potentially putting in further sanctions because he says that the relationship results in hundreds of thousands of jobs and he fears losing military contracts to china and

russia essentially the president is saying as he said repeatedly and has said in the last hour that he believes saudi arabia helps keep oil prices low he said from his florida resort that he's made many calls to saudi arabia and as a result those prices are low and that is favorable for ordinary americans he said that if this were to spike up this with cause a global depression is the wording that he used we should point out he also said when speaking to the crown prince the crown prince calls the murder of. a a atrocity and that he hates the crime here the image he denies that in fact he said that the crown prince hates it more than i do meaning donald trump certainly these statements are putting the president at odds with the conclusions around the world and certainly isolating himself as we consent to continue to see the u.s. congress pressuring this white house to act and do more but once again the president doubling down on his statements that he believes the crown prince and the

highest levels of the kingdom are not responsible for this crime all right thank you very much can really help it with the latest from washington. u.k. prime minister says breaks it negotiations have reached a critical moment person has now agreed a draft deal with the e.u. on their future relationship and to resume a says she'll do everything possible to deliver it the e.u. is scheduled to vote on the agreement on sunday. we have an agreed text between the u.k. and the european commission the text is being today being shared with the leaders of the other twenty seven member states ahead of this special you council on sunday the negotiations are now at a critical moment and all our efforts must be focused on working with our european partners to bring this process to a final conclusion in the interests of all our people. let's get more on this now

we have needs barker and mean we know that most m.p.'s are currently against this deal what did we hear in parliament today was going to be busy a few days let me start by saying for to resume a on the one hand of course she's managed to secure two draft proposal for the first one of the would drop from the e.u. a miswire now on the future political relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. going forward but clearly she's had a rough time in parliament over the course of the afternoon i think primarily because there are several red lines that she said she wasn't going to cross that appear to have been crossed we're talking about things like the possibility of they being visas imposed on u.k. nationals or e.u. nationals working on each other's territory or living on each other's territory for long periods of time also no discussion about frictionless trade between the e.u. in the u.k. that was seen as being absolutely vital for the health of the british economy raising the prospect now that the e.u. and the u.k. will be seen as two mutually exclusive trading areas amount of course raises the

prospect of there being physical barriers between the likes of northern iowa republican of iowa and gibraltar and spain worries there definitely worries too also from some conservative scottish politicians that now the e.u. will be able to access british waters and british fishing quotas of course all of this will now go to brussels that will be debated by the e.u. twenty seven they will decide its fate next that's right we know that spain is already voicing concerns about this what sort of challenges is the equipment likely to face. there that's right indeed the spanish government of raise some concerns primarily over gibraltar we know that this british exclave on the iberian peninsula has thrived as a result of open borders as a result of people being able to cross the border on a daily basis just to work according to warm diplomatic spanish source they intend to vote against any brics it would all agreement at sunday's summit in brussels

no one country let me be clear no one country can veto a withdrawal agreement requires at least twenty out of twenty seven to be able to make sure any agreement to passed as long as that number represents sixty five percent of the population of the european union spain of course fifth largest country in europe by population its vote matters thank you very much live back with all the latest on that thank you me well now the united arab emirates says it's determined to protect its strategic relationship with britain and day after sentencing of bush's student to life in prison for spying the u.a.e. denied that those you one year old matthew hedges had been treated unfairly insisting he'd been given access to a translator but it said both sides of work to find an amicable solution hedges family accuses the gulf state of fabricating evidence his wife is accused the british government of putting its relationship with its ally had.
