a legal challenge to stop the visit but it'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 at tech 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 third ticket there since their own uprising in two thousand and eleven saying that he is using this trip to whitewash his violations against human rights and to make them more human 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. or widely seen as an attempt by this apartment to repair his image during the international outcry over his suspected role in the killing. of. jamal khashoggi is murder seems to have accomplished something rare in washington political unity key figures in both the republican and democrat parties a demanding answers from donald trump's administration questioning the president's right. monckton's to act on the journalists killing democrat and i'm schiff is set to become the house intelligence committee chairman early next year he's promising what he calls a deep dive into washington's ties with riyadh examining the show g.'s death the war in yemen and the stability of the saudi royal family and some of donald trump's republican colleagues of warned his failure to punish the kingdom will have

dangerous consequences president jordan has 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 a 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. still ahead on al-jazeera. i'm talking we stand

by. britain and spain settle their last minute dispute over a tiny rocky peninsula clearing the way for sunday's brags that summits. nigeria moves to take a bigger share of the traffic west africa's horses. from long flowing on in the winds to an enchanting desert breeze the. hello again it's good to have you back well we did have some very active weather here parts of iraq as well as into iran you can see the systems are still making their way through so we still expect to see very heavy rain at times over the next few days here's your forecast map for sunday not only for iran but also down here towards kuwait saudi arabia and maybe even to bahrain and qatar so that is going to

be something we're going to be watching sunday is going to be the day as we go towards monday though a lot of that weather pushes over here towards pakistan afghanistan but across the gulf it is looking much better as we take a look at the gulf in saudi arabia and also the arabian peninsula we are going to see that rain sure i to be here for doha we do expect to see a temperature of thirty maybe anywhere between forty to sixty millimeters of rain could be expected across the region also for maybe dubai could be seeing some rain as well as we go towards monday but for riyadh it's going to be a little bit cooler for you with clouds and forecasts attempts are there of twenty two and here across parts of africa well most of the activity is up here towards the north harare is going to be seeing a very rainy day at about twenty three degrees but down towards the south it is going to be cooler partly cloudy for cape town at twenty one degrees durban is going to be a warm day here on sunday boy expect those to just come down to about twenty six degrees in johannesburg partly cloudy at about twenty seven degrees. the wind sponsored by the time makes. the lights are on. and there's nowhere

to hide isn't the easiest way to solve this time allow u.n. observers who you invited into the country earlier this year to finish their job i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody's conspiracy debates do you think we're going to see some kind of sea change in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia we have an obligation there is that journalistic integrity and then to that in this case it was betrayed totally up from its own al-jazeera. welcome back you're watching and just zero time to recap the headlines now french president has condemned violent protesters who've been demonstrating against rising

fuel prices the so-called yellow vests protests began last weekend since spread across the country. protesters in tunis here are pressuring the government to cancel a planned visit by the saudi crown prince but the government is warning demonstrations could threaten much needed financial aid from the kingdom. the republican and democrat lawmakers are demanding answers about the u.s. president's reluctance to punish saudi arabia for the killing of journalist. democrat adam schiff is set to become the house intelligence committee chairman early next year he's promising a thorough investigation to be a fair. mexico's incoming government is in talks with u.s. officials about the plan for mexico to host asylum seekers while their cases are heard in u.s. courts it's a pressing issue at the moment as thousands of central americans are gathered on the mexican side of the u.s. border they're hoping to cross over mexico's incoming interior minister says

there's no agreement yet on hosting u.s. assigned seekers. tweets from donald trump seem to suggest some kind of deal has been reached migrants of the southern border will not be allowed into the united states until their claims are individually approved in court we'll only allow those who come into our country legally of a bat i'll very strong policy is catch and detain no releasing into the us 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 off the decades of abuse put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore paul virtue serves as general counsel at the u.s. immigration and naturalization service on the president bill clinton he says there are no legal obstacles to keeping asylum seekers in mexico while they wait for

a u.s. decision 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 nonracial model 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 the who is there is the person has to be either admitted to the u.s. or in the united states or canada and an agreement to be reached with a with an adjacent third country mexico in this case to a lot of people who remain there as a strictly as a legal matter not the one talking about the policy implications of this the

answer to that would be yes there isn't really there or there is nothing that would prevent such an agreement from him from being entered into. the final of south american football's biggest club competition the copper liver to their daughters has been pushed back by a day after one of the team's buses was attacked several players were injured when fans of the river plate team threw rocks and would rival juniors pass as it headed towards the stadium and. daniel schorr in the was there. there were sporadic clashes like this one between police and river plate fans around the ground before the scheduled kickoff then this attack on the block a genius team bus that left two players injured by broken glass others coughing on peace tear gas to. their star player carlos tevez said they were in no fit state but wing obliged to play firstly the kickoff was delayed by two and

a half hours the sixty six thousand river plate fans inside the stadium waited and waited the new authorities in the game to twenty four hours in the way of the year i thought football is not a war it's football we have to consider the technical the medical and the professionals and we've decided that neither of the teams meet the conditions and we're in agreement we're here to support them not make demands. they came streaming out the second leg of the cup believe but the lot is final a victim of the violence that has blighted arjen time for them for years leading to a ban on away fans we. didn't know what was going on we were just waiting to bare acing embarrassing that we can't organize events like this in this country. they didn't even tell us what was going on they never said the game had been suspended there was just confusion with people saying they're saying they're saying that. really plates monumental stadium has now been closed but their traditional

authorities casting doubt on where perhaps if sunday's game will be played these fans are angry and they're frustrated but the words we're hearing most frequently here are in. iris munson shame shame that they couldn't organize the biggest game in the club's history this had to be postponed because of violence because they were unable to organize the security for the games to go ahead. the first leg two weeks ago at the book a junior stadium was also perspired for a day this time due to heavy rain that game eventually ended in the choo-choo draw and led to days of rising tension ahead of the biggest final in latin american club football between two of the game's greatest rivals but it was attention to them to violence and the shame of the autumn time for. them to see it on one of cyrus. taiwanese voters have backed anti gay marriage referendums and what i have a say is a blow to the island's reputation as a rights trailblazer the result came at the end of

a dramatic day which saw present sighing when resigned as leader of the ruling party after it suffered major electoral losses al-jazeera as adrian brown reports from the capsule taipei. some voters waited patiently in line for up to two hours to cast their ballots the election and the referendums happening alongside it were about local issues they also indicated the popularity of the government led by president xining when the verdict a severe setback to her leadership her democratic progressive party lost control of taiwan second and third largest city she offered to resign as party chairwoman which analysts say will weaken her power within the d.p.p. so here i think in iraq i think first of all i need to take full responsibility for the resolute in today's elections effective now i resign as the chairwoman of the democratic progressive party our efforts were not enough disappointing all

supporters who gave their all i also want to once again express our deepest regrets as with all elections in thailand there was one overriding issue china you know how many with or without our friend a man independence we taiwanese decide our own future we are always taiwanese and i like us they are chinese. i'm fine with that referendum to decide whether we go for independence or unification but i personally support maintaining the status quo and the governments of both sides should cooperate in january two thousand and sixteen zion and the d.p.p. won a landslide victory and taiwan had its first female head of state. but almost immediately china's leaders and their supporters here began a campaign to undermine her administration their relationship worsened after sighing when became president almost three years ago the leadership in beijing often demonizes her over her refusal to accept there is but one china and taiwan is

a part of it as a result the diplomatic and economic squeeze of taiwan goes on. there were setbacks as well into contentious referendums with taiwanese voting against same sex marriage and changing the name taiwan uses when it competes in international sporting events it's been a bad weekend for taiwan's leader but it's provided a further remind the democracy here remains one of the freest and most vibrant in asia adrian brown al-jazeera taipei european union leaders will meet in the coming hours to approve a historic brings that deal britain and spain settled their last minute this treaty over gibraltar clearing the way for the summit but it will still have to face the scrutiny of the british parliament joe hart has more from brussels. the british prime minister was all smiles in brussels on saturday night e.u.

than eighty of the prime minister's own m.p.'s and most of the opposition have said they'll do likewise i believe she is genuine when she says she wants to see an outcome that does no harm to the union and the internal market of the united kingdom however this draft agreement fields her own commitment some like briggs supporting former foreign secretary boris johnson have insisted to reason may go back to the negotiating table calling the deal a historic mistake but that's not going to happen the e.u. is adamant there's nothing more to talk about no more negotiating to be done when the leaders gather on sunday morning here in brussels it will be to wave this deal through setting the scene for the ultimate showdown to reserve may's fight to get it through the united kingdom parliament go to hell al-jazeera brussels yemen saudi backed government has rejected a u.n. offer to manage the running of a crucial port special envoy martin griffiths met senior houthi rebels who agreed
