a proposed tax rise. for the second successive weekend the so-called yellow vests created roadblocks and organized protests demanding president emmanuel micron's scrapped the fuel tax. riot police stopped thousands of demonstrators on the main avenue de sean saudis say from breaking through a cordon protecting the palace the president's official residence. and the protests continued into the night with demonstrators setting barricades and cars on fire. the price of diesel has risen by twenty three percent over the past year to about a dollar seventy one per liter. across decision to impose a further increase of six point five cents starting on the first of january is the final straw for many here. the government takes everything from us they steal from

us we have to pay for everything we are overtaxed and we hope that the protests will change things. the rising cost of fuel is going to trigger a civil war and i like most of the citizens we are already we are fed up with paying so much all the time it's become the new normal but paying so much it's just not possible anymore. that the president blames rising oil prices worldwide and says the tax is necessary for more investment in green and renewable energy social media has primarily been used to mobilize the yellow vests they say they have no leader or political affiliation police are concerned that far right extremists may infiltrate the demonstrations and provoke violence three thousand officers have been mobilized in paris. nearly three hundred thousand people took part in similar nationwide protests last saturday she people were killed and

to pay tax but we see since recently that the consultant to pay taxes france is declining french people consider and many people consider that there are too many tax when at the same time the public. expenditure goes don't of people are wondering why do they pay so much tax when they're no one's deficit reduction or less public expenditure ups it's a very very big and quite difficult question for him and you and michael. matta seems to have achieved something rare and washington political unity he figures in both the republican and democrat parties a demanding answers from donald trump's administration questioning the president's reluctance to act on the journalist's killing democrat adam schiff is set to become the house intelligence committee chairman next year he's promising what he calls

a deep dive into washington's ties with riyadh examining examining casualties deaths the war in yemen and the stability of the saudi royal family and some of donald trump's republican colleagues have warned that his failure to punish the kingdom will have dangerous consequences rosalind jordan joins us live now from washington d.c. rose both democrats and republicans have been complaining about trump's handling of the case but what are they actually doing about it. well not only have some members of the senate been trying to put together support for a bill that would suspect actually change the way that the u.s. engages with saudi arabia on national security matters there's also been a real push to try to get more information about what the u.s. intelligence committee community excuse me knows about the murder of jamal khashoggi and to that end the hill newspaper is reporting that there is going to be

a full senate briefing. handled by the secretary of state mike on peo and the defense secretary jim mattis in the coming days once they are back from their holiday break the idea is that the these two leading members of the president's cabinet would have to explain the u.s. policy regarding saudi arabia answer questions about the u.s. support for the saudi coalition in the civil war in yemen but just as important answer questions about why the u.s. president donald trump has dismissed out of hand the cia's apparent conclusion that it was the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon who ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi and try to find out the reasons why the president is dismissing that report out of hand so we don't know yet when this senate briefing is going to happen we don't know whether it's going to be open to public scrutiny although

typically any briefing where are you members of the president's cabinet are before members of either the house or the senate are open to the public and we don't know what they're going to do precisely once we get the information but clearly there is a real push among both republicans and democrats to get as much information as possible because they have said that they are very very uncomfortable with how the u.s. president has been dealing not just with the civil war in yemen but with the murder of jamal. rosen i magine as question inside political baseball going on on capitol hill around all of this how is this playing out factual vices is this a major issue for them. it's not a major issue per se i mean we're just past the midterm elections where certainly domestic issues were much more important for us voters dealing with health care dealing with this state of the economy with the state of wages and benefits dealing

with those sorts of domestic concerns but certainly one of the things that is a political truism is that if political leaders are talking about an issue and nothing and frequently enough and publicly enough the general public tends to follow along and starts to pay attention now we're going to what's called the lame duck period for the current congress there's going to be a changeover as our viewers know of power and control come january but both republicans and democrats have said that they need to get real answers about what happened to jamal khashoggi about whether the saudi government is one that the u.s. should be relying on so wholeheartedly and whether there need to be substantial changes in the way that the two countries conduct their relations so if nothing else these members of congress are going to be pushing ahead it's just there might

be a lag in whether or not there is growing public interest general public interest i should say in the murder of jamal khashoggi. for us there in d.c. thanks and not try to. the shocking case has been dominated by christian revelations sudden twists and fingerpointing as political on the face ramifications continue to reverberate tony betty looks back at what's happened since the journalist walked into saudi arabia's istanbul consulates on october second. it was meant to be a new beginning for jamal khashoggi a new wife a new home and a new country but turkey was where he died and exiled journalists who dared to question and authoritarian leader his death in the saudi consulate in istanbul could so easily have been missed or even forgotten had it not been for the secret audio recordings from the scene no one really knows exactly how these recordings came about either the turkish security services bugged the consulate or a consular official with

a conscience recorded them in the end it doesn't really matter what matters is that they expose the lies and deception surrounding this murder at first the denials are strong on october third the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman denied all knowledge of the killings saying mr casady disappeared after he left the consulate building an october the eighth his brother bin salman the saudi ambassador to the u.s. repeated the claim but on october the twelfth according to cia sources they reported the saudi crown prince asked jerrod krishna president tom son in law why the outrage is because saudi was a dangerous islamist this anger the turkish authorities and that is when the audio recordings started to be leaked. on october thirteenth eleven days after mr casady was killed the turkish newspaper subba published details of the killing it said they came from a recording from his i watch that was sync to his i phone held by his turkish fiance outside the consulate the i watched part is perhaps not correct but the

newspaper said the recording was of the journalist being tortured and then murdered this is when the picture and the response started to change with such a grim and irrefutable evidence it was difficult for this out and out culture of denial to continue and if you're over suspicious or cynical nature this is when you could believe that and agree narrative was beginning to take shape and an element of collusion was starting not just in saudi arabia on october the fifteenth president donald trump introduces the element of rogue killers maybe being responsible he repeated maybe two days later my comp a of the u.s. secretary of state was dispatched to riyadh where he stressed the strong alliance between the two countries and said we face our challenges together the past the day and tomorrow those challenges then got harder on october the seventeenth the turkish daily yeni shafiq printed more details about the killing revealing the concerns of the saudi consulate general in istanbul he asked the hit team to do it

somewhere else the paper reports that he was told to shut up if he wanted to live back in saudi saudi arabia as noted began to change at this point on october the nineteenth the saudi attorney general said the journalist was killed during a fight on october the twenty first the saudi foreign minister adel algae of their followers president trumps line and says mr khashoggi was killed by a rogue elements and insisted the crown prince had nothing to do with it it's interesting to see who these rogue elements are according to the information available they include some of the most trusted members of mohamed bin solomons personal security team and a forensic expert and they acted under the orders of the deputy head of saudi intelligence in a country where the crown prince exercises such an bribed. per hour it's unbelievable to some that such a mission could have been undertaken without his knowledge on october the twenty second the saudis introduced a new version saying that it was an accident that mr kosofsky raised his voice the team panicked moved to restrain him and then had him in

a choke hold in which he died on the same day this was dispelled by more audio revelations in the newspaper which revealed new recordings that mr cumshaw ji was either strangled with a belt or is fixated with a plastic bag after cia director gina hospital listen to the recordings in a visit to turkey saudi arabia changed its story once again on october the twenty fifth after more than three weeks of denials an implausible explanations the saudi attorney general finally admitted the murder it was premeditated he later and now to the death penalty for five of the team but with no further details and stressed that the crown prince was not implicated. on november the sixteenth the cia leak their findings with one official saying it was blindingly obvious who was responsible three days later more audio details released by her newspaper revealing just before the murder exactly how the hit team was going to commit the killing and who would do what the paper said the recordings also detailed nineteen phone calls

that were made to riyadh after the killing including one in which the caller said tell the boss the deed is done on the same day habit turk online newspaper reveals more from the consulate audio recordings with mystic ashaji being grabbed to soon as he walked in and being called a traitor and the man who posed as his double to give the impression the journalist left the consulate saying it is spooky wearing the clothes of a man we killed twenty minutes ago when president trump declared his support for the saudi crown prince he said there was no direct proof against mohammed bin salmen on november the twenty second harriet made the strongest allegation against the crown prince stating that the cia has an order recording between mohamed bin selman and his brother in washington ordering mystica shah ji to be silenced it hasn't changed the mind of president donald trump it's business as usual with saudi arabia this terrible murder will be remembered for the lies and deception but also the day a u.s. president gave a pardon to a thanksgiving turkey and

spilled over into violence that we've seen today some of them are they able to contain their passion for football and as we all know it's a bit of a cliche but there is a huge passion and they say some of them were very keen to see the game go ahead today really frustrated and angry that it had to be delayed it had to go home and have to come back and do the same again tomorrow assuming of course that it does go ahead. to contain the violent elements of control that some of that passion. are there for someone as areas thanks so much daniel mexico's incoming government is denying reports that the country could host people who are seeking asylum in the u.s. olga sanchez the next interior minister says mexico has no plans to allow people to shelter there while asylum claims are being heard in u.s. courts donald trump has expressed outrage about a so-called asylum seeker caravan made up of thousands of century americans who've traveled to the u.s. border hoping to cross. taiwanese voters have backed anti gay marriage referendums
