the arab spring lawyers and human rights activists in tunisia a mounting a legal challenge to stop the visit but that's unlikely to happen cinesias cash strapped government is desperate for financial aid to tackle poverty instability and unemployment. government leaders are concerned protests might alienate some of the leaders attack critical moment for the government is getting a great deal of pushback there has been. number of statements for example from the syndicate journalists a very strong syndicate there since their own right uprising in two thousand and eleven saying that he is using this trip to whitewash his violations against human rights and to make the war in yemen more palatable and

they're using tunisia after the crown prince is due to visit. before attending the g. twenty summit next week in argentina it tore widely seen as an attempt by this apartment to repair his image during the international outcry over his suspected role in the killing of. a kid. g.'s murder seems to have accomplished something rare in washington political unity key figures in both the republican and democratic parties are demanding aren't says from donald trump's administration questioning the president's reluctance to act on the journalists killing democrat adam schiff is set to become the house intelligence committee chairman early next year he is promising what he calls a deep dive into washington's ties with we are examining g.'s death the war in

yemen and the stability of the saudi royal family and so on donald trump's republican colleagues have warned his failure to publish the kingdom will have dangerous consequences rosalind jordan with this update from washington d.c. . the murder of jamal khashoggi the washington post columnist may not be resonating with ordinary americans but for their representatives in the u.s. congress this is very much a controversy that is top of mind the hill newspaper is reporting that the entire senate is going to get a briefing in the coming week perhaps from the secretary of state like john pale and the defense secretary jim mattis about the u.s. his relationship with saudi arabia apparently this briefing is going to take a look at everything from how the white house is not accepting the cia's determination that murder was done at the behest of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomonic it's also going to be taking a look at the financial relationship between the united states and saudi arabia and

it's going to be taking a look at the national security relationship between the two countries especially when light of the ongoing civil war in yemen one in which the saudis have been accused of violating the human rights of civilians in that war torn country by bombing civilian targets under the pretense of going after the fighters who want to take control of the government this hearing could possibly be made public because it's a opportunity for the general public to listen to senators question these two cabinet members but the real import of this potential hearing is that it would give the senators both democratic and republican more ammunition on deciding how to hold saudi arabia accountable not just for its conduct in the yemeni civil war but just as important for the murder of jamal khashoggi both republicans and democrats have

been extremely critical of riyadh because of the murder and they say that it is not for the united states to be giving any sort of political or diplomatic cover to a country that would go out and willingly target and then murder someone. that it considers a threat to its ongoing up political rule this is also a situation where the members of congress are going to find themselves pretty much in a fight with the white house the u.s. president donald trump has insisted that saudi arabia's importance in jail pill political affairs is much more important than trying to hold its leadership accountable for the murder of jamal khashoggi the president has even been dismissive of the cia's conclusions saying that it's more of a feeling than actual analysis that's not sitting well with members of the senate and certainly not with members of the house so not only is there a potential big hearing coming in the coming days on capitol hill but there will

also be intelligence committee hearings at least in the house of representatives come january well still ahead on al-jazeera. a. and taking a stand thousands rally for battle women's rights in paris. fears a refugee camp will be left without medical care after a major charity pool sounds. hello again or welcome back to your international weather forecast where we are ending the holiday weekend with some rain showers and some snow here for parts of chicago now it's mostly going to be snow as we begin the day and that means we could be seeing some travel delays here across one of the major hubs down towards the south it's going to be cold cooler and cloudy first atlanta as well as dallas down

on counting the cost breaking the rules italy wants to spend its way out of an economic slump but it's. a big cryptocurrency. back you're watching al-jazeera time to recap headlines this hour french president

. violent protesters have been demonstrating against rising fuel prices so-called yellow vests protests began last week that have since spread right across the country. the republican and democrat lawmakers are demanding answers about the u.s. president's reluctance to punish for the killing of journalist. democrat adam schiff is said to become the house intelligence committee chairman early next year and is promising a thorough investigation into the affair. mexico's incoming government is in talks with u.s. officials about the plan for mexico to host asylum seekers while their case is heard in the u.s. courts it's a pressing issue at the moment thousands of central americans are gathered on the mexican side of the u.s. border hoping to cross mexico's incoming interior minister says there's no agreement yet on hosting u.s. asylum seekers. but tweets from donald trump seem to suggest some kind of deal has

been done migrants at the southern border will not be allowed into the united states until their claims are individually approved in court we only will allow those who come into our country illegally other than that our very strong policy is catch and detain no releasing into the u.s. or will stay in mexico if for any reason it becomes necessary we will close our southern border there is no way the united states will after decades of abuse put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore speak now to paul virtue in knowing mills maryland via skype he served as general counsel at the u.s. immigration and naturalization service under president bill clinton good to have you with us so first of all what do you make of the indications thus far is there

a deal well i only know what i read and hear it seems that both the u.s. and mexico all have been very careful to say that a lot of the details would have to be were and then an agreement has not yet been reached or that's that's what i know that is done what i have read so far. who would pay for the migrants the asylum seekers while u.s. authorities are processing their applications. that would be one of the prince details i think that would need to be worked out as a matter of. this deal with anyone if if a deal has to be. a legal perspective the states is not obligated to either admit someone who doesn't have a visa or to parole a person or appears at a port of entry into the united states to pursue their asylum claim on the one hand

but as a practical matter unless something can be worked out with mexico where the individuals would remain there and all of the logistics that would be in all. the united states we would likely have to continue the process of either catch and. get to the individual or have the individuals who appear to venturing. make their plane and wait for an asylum. and interview before an asylum officer an asylum or you said the u.s. has no obligation to accept people who shop at the border without a visa but what about people who show up and claim asylum say they were refugees they need protection surely the u.s. has an international legal obligation to look after them while that process is their applications and claims right. that's right the u.s. is a party to the next two hundred sixty seven protocol a status of refugees and has certain obligations with respect to the protection of

refugees as well as a provision called non refel law where if a person is more likely than not but subject to harm in their home country the united states cannot and other other parties to the protocol cannot return that person to their country so there are those obligations question here though is does the person have to be either admitted in the u.s. or in the united states or can an agreement be reached with a with an adjacent third country mexico in this case to allow the people to remain there as a strictly as a legal matter and not the war not talking about the policy implications of this the answer to that would be yes there isn't really there there is nothing that would prevent such an agreement from him from being entered into what about

mexico's ability to handle the social number of people well the answer to that has to be a principle course in that has to be one of the details that has to be worked out united states i think implicit in the one nine hundred sixty seven protocol all has to who are individuals an opportunity to reasonably make their claim for asylum in the united states and so if by if the conditions in which they were being. you know in which they were living in in mexico for example might prevent it from being able to make their case then there would be a question i think in some people's my bones about whether we were complying with our name the our our obligations under that protocol or are good to get your thoughts on that one thanks so much. you walk on. your final of south american football's biggest club competition the copper lip of the orders has been
