authorized soldiers to use lethal force against asylum seekers if needed some thousands of people are making their way towards the united states fleeing poverty and violence in central american countries let's go live to al-jazeera holeman who's. on the mexico u.s. border what's going on behind you what show. where you can see just to the right of me here this is the point of entry and exit from the united states the pedestrian point you can see there's not a lot happening there apart from quite a few people from the mexican migration authorities and then just across here now to the left of me you can see a few people here there were. maybe a couple of hundred people from the caravan and really they've come here as much as anything to blow up a little bit of steam and show their frustration at the fact that they're just

a stone's throw from the united states but they don't seem to be getting any closer to crossing over of course president trump's outlook is that they're not going anywhere they're not going to be able to get across. he was just speaking just a bit earlier saying that he thought that quite a lot of these people are criminals that they've got to do with gangs and things like that things that we haven't really seen a lot of evidence for following this curve and all the way through mexico but the situation here is very calm although there are now five thousand three hundred people in what is really a little sort of tent town in the middle of tier one in a sports complex that number of people has tripled since last friday one of the authorities there into you want to saying. well i spoke to the mayor just a couple of hours ago and he said that this is a humanitarian crisis spurring me said that the city doesn't have the budget all

the resources to cope with it who he really wants is mexico's federal government to step in that's a little bit of a problem at the moment because there's an outgoing administration and there is a president about to take power on the first to december since a little bit of a void a vacuum of power at the center of this to deal with these people the police chief we spoke to him yesterday and he said that there is a perfect storm brewing as about more than eight thousand people from central america that are traveling up through mexico when they all get here the problem is going to be worse still really for these authorities remember these people many of them fleeing sort of crippling poverty back in their homelands some others a fleeing violence those are those who are fleeing poverty many of them quite hazy on how it works the process of asking for asylum to get into the united states they don't know the poverty alone is not a reason for the united states authorities to let them in so this is going to be

playing out probably over months now as this situation develops john as you say these people are just a stone's throw away now from the united states i mean they can see is over the fence there was sort of a fence what sort of border structure is there and on u.s. troops visible on the other side you know with president trump all the rising soldiers to use lethal force against asylum seekers if needed. exactly we haven't seen any trump any troops on the other side that's probably because the border fence is pretty thick and high along here there's been a lot of talk in the last couple of years about president trump proposed border will already the fence is fairly tall and it's been built up not just under his administration but under president obama will serve before him now what's been added to that is concertina wire which is like barbed wire but it's even more difficult to get through and that's been put across the ports of entry where

vehicles come across here and what we've learned today is that the traffic on the ports of entry has been stopped intermittently as well there's also a lot of presence of people from customs and border protection a lot more than usual no support for venturing so this is really something the president trump as his ministration have been saying is a really poor to apply border particularly in t one a. home of their lives. on the mexico side of the us mexico border john many thanks. to go see asians have reached a critical moment according to the u.k.'s prime minister a draft deal on britain's future relationship with the e.u. has been agreed and to reason they says that she'll do everything possible to deliver it the e.u. is should yield a vote on the agreement on sunday to seriously farka reports from westminster in central london to speak i would like to update the house on our negotiations to leave the european union

a crucial step forward in britain's brics it journey we have an agreed text between the u.k. and the european commission the negotiations are now is 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. a draft political declarations now in place determining the future political relationship between the e.u. and he. but the twenty six page document was attacked by politicians to crossing some of the government's earlier red lines and failing to provide many details this empty document could have been written two years ago it's peppered with phrases such as the parties will look at the parties we'll explore watch on earth as the government been doing for the last two years. the paper makes no mention of frictionless trade between the e.u. and u.k. scene is vital for the health of the british economy. the e.u. and u.k.

will be regarded as two separate markets making hard barry is almost inevitable. it has big implications here on the border between northern ireland a part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland and a you member the u.k. says it's now pursuing a high tech solution to keep goods and people moving. the draft plan also says both sides and to provide visa free travel only for short term visits longer trips may now require visas. in addition the document leaves room for an extension of the two year transition period after breaks it aimed at easing britain's departure but it also means the u.k. will be subject to european rules for longer without any e.u. voting rights the plans will now be decided on a political level by e.u. leaders to brussels on sunday it's been an extremely busy few days for the british prime minister she has been successfully able to hammer out draft proposals on firstly the withdrawal agreement and now a declaration of

a future political relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. but history's amaze big breaks it plans head to brussels she knows that those plans could flounder at any stage either voted down by the e.u. or voted down here in parliament and i commend the statements. the park al-jazeera . the united arab emirates says that it's the terman to protect its relationship with the u.k. a day off to sentencing a british student to life in prison for spying the u.a.e. denied that thirty one year old matthew had just been treated unfairly insisting that he'd been given access to a translator hedges family accuses the gulf state of fabricating evidence of making him sign a confession his wife met the u.k.'s foreign secretary jeremy hunt in london pushing for hedges release. see him shaping course after being handed a life sentence and then being made to leave was beyond heartbreaking we did he

even got to say goodbye. i really appreciate the foreign secretary taking the time to meet me at this crucial country in march and map why he has assured me that he and his team are doing everything in their power to get my map free and return him home to me. this is not a party i can win alone and i think the foreign office and the british public who are now standing up for one of their. more now from a serious paul brennan in london. a pretty intense series of diplomatic to and froze during the course of the day as this promise to escalate into a really serious diplomatic crisis between the u.k. and the u.s. over the conviction of matthew had just on wednesday now his wife daniella to harder arrived back in london on thursday morning and was visibly upset gave an early morning radio interview in which he criticized the british foreign ministry for not doing enough to help matthew in those early months of his captivity but the foreign secretary jeremy hunt's later in the morning summoned the u.s.

ambassador into the foreign ministry and had what was described as very frank discussions of iraq you had predicaments and later this afternoon daniela harder then went to the foreign ministry to meet jeremy hunt and she emerged after about an hour saying that she was very much more happy with the situation now she said as follows i really appreciate the foreign secretary king the time to meet me at this crucial point he's assured me that he and his team are doing everything in their power to get matt free now that coincided almost to the hour with a statement that was released by the u.a.e. foreign ministry which stood by the conviction but it also offered the possibility of some breakthrough now the statement from the u.a.e. said that the british academic had been treated fairly and according to the constitution it said that there was compelling and powerful evidence that include information extracted from his personal electronic devices but it added that both sides hope to find an amicable solution to the matthew hedges case so it does

appear that with thirty days left before while he can appeal against this this charge that does seem to be a diplomatic moves afoot for both sides to come together and find some resolution to this. we get a weather update next year all that is out there and up levels of heat trapping gases reach new highs atmosphere and the window of opportunity to fix it is closing . lebanon marks seventy five years since independence will take a look at why some say there's little to celebrate. and france and croatia prepare to renew their sporting rivalry in the final of the davis cup we'll have more on that in the sports place.

tomorrow. as the u.s. president has once again deflected blame from the hamad bin salman saying that the cia has not concluded that he ordered the murder. the u.n. is welcoming a deescalation in fighting at yemen's port city of what they are saying that is providing much needed relief to thousands of civilians it special envoy to yemen is in the capital sanaa continuing his push to get the warring parties around the negotiating table. the bearer of the mexican city of tijuana is warning of a humanitarian crisis over the thousands of asylum seekers gathered at the u.s. border president donald trump has threatened to shut down the crossing if isn't ministration to size that the situation is out of control. what our top story the killing of the saudi journalist as we mentioned a turkish news website says that the cia has a recording of a phone call in which saudi krynn sprout crown prince mohammed bin solomon gave

instructions to quote silence. as soon as possible al-jazeera study book he reports from istanbul. more than fifty days after the murder of jamal khashoggi and still the leaks in turkey keep coming on thursday there were more details of the crime revealed in the newspaper this is being the go to source about the latest evidence coming out of the turkish government. it's claimed that the cia has an audio recording of the saudi crown prince ordering the murder of jamal khashoggi it can't be independently corroborated but the revelation backs up comments attributed to the cia mohamed bin salmond's involvement was blindingly obvious to most believe the leaks are looking at the turkish what has been released. there hasn't been any contradictions there has been just different various information being leaked and this is i mean legal perspective and. what prosecutors do

turkey has big careful not to accuse anyone by name but the government said responsibility is with someone in the saudi royal court we're going to go that enters to this day we have not yet received responses to the questions we cannot answer the international community once this investigation to be concluded as soon as possible we will continue to cooperate with everyone especially saudi arabia we are determined to carry out this process together with the international community including our own investigation the european position has been very clear from the very beginning and we have always been calling for a completely transparent and credible investigation that we have not seen yet complete it. we expect that accountability is in short which means that those responsible those really responsible for this terrible murder

have to be taken accountable that's in contrast to the unmitigated stand of support president donald trump has given saudi arabia but in reality the e.u. can do little to force accountability and while turkey has not yet asked for an international investigation the government here is more focused on matters of joining the e.u. and improving relations with the u.s. and saudi arabia in something that's already been. needs to acknowledge is that. do you need turkish friendship in the region to maintain that stability ok having. declaring a rivalry against turkey or confronting with turkey is not necessarily in saudi arabia's interest and more and more is that in the interest of the region both are regional heavyweights both have considerable influence and both are needed for stability in the region they need to get along a first that could come at the g twenty meeting in argentina next week when both

the turkish president mr erdogan and the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman will both attend if they meet there it will be the first time they face things so that is a mystery because nobody was murdered and that would be the first tentative step towards repairing the diplomatic fallout of this terrible crime was called tony berkeley al jazeera it stumble in gaza hamas has set up several security checkpoints in an effort to locate those responsible for a botched israeli raid an israeli colonel a hamas commander and six other palestinians were killed earlier this month after the operation inside gaza the incident led to the worst violence in the region since the twenty fourteen war amasses released photos of people that it accuses of taking part in the failed mission in syria stephanie decker reports 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
