negotiated briggs's text and they did so you know honestly about meant to step on the road to bring. the mood was resolute this is the best. which is just the best to push a button for europe this is the only course. the toad in place is samba and point out godless self how it will all. one think is so. we will remain friends until the end of days. and one day long. how it all ends depends now on whether the deal is indorsed by the united kingdom itself in the face of her critics to resume a must strike an upbeat tone what we see in this deal today is a deal that delivers a faithful delivers on the face it delivers in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and protects all security and all united
12:02 am
kingdom and as i've said before i believe our best days lie ahead of us for the prime minister the hard work is just beginning. leaders view briggs it now as a done deal they didn't want it but there's no need to sugarcoat it the british prime minister on the other hand has to sell the deal to parliament and to her own people she's got to convince them it's the best deal available. there is enormous opposition to may's deal at home and it could even be hardening with what's been described as her surrender on saturday over the future of gibraltar she handed spain and effective veto over future arrangements for the british territory the latest unpalatable compromise in the rising cost of breakthrough. if parliament rejects the deal in the coming weeks what then may was repeatedly asked if she'd resign i've said before it's not about me and i will say it again it's not about me but my focus over the next few weeks. as i've just said i'm making the case for

this deal with the outcome in south down to the brakes in endgame may yet see britain stumble towards an exit without a deal or is it out of a louder voice is suggesting a second referendum on will to breaks it all don't hold al-jazeera brussels. the man set to leave the house intelligence committee when the u.s. congress returns in january has accused the president of dishonesty over his response to the murder. adam schiff says donald trump's links to saudi arabia need to be investigated that's going on. in washington d.c. so allan strong comments from adam schiff the pressure on trunk shows no sign of result of relenting exactly right you remember that just on thursday donald trump
12:04 am
when he was down in florida was asked do you think mohammed bin salman the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of jamal khashoggi after what you've seen from the cia and he said well maybe it was maybe wasn't the cia don't make a determination on the well they don't come to a conclusion in the report what they do is the say with a high degree of certainty that they believe the crown prince was behind the killing and now we have adam schiff who is going to be the head of the intelligence committee in the house of representatives come january just five six weeks away here say that he's going to investigate donald trump and his links to saudi arabia because quite frankly he says with the intelligence he's seen he doesn't believe donald trump is being completely forthright with the american people. well look the president is not being honest with the country about the murder of democracy. i think in part he feels that by saying that we don't know or that the world is a dangerous place or everybody does it he thinks it makes him look strong it
12:05 am
actually makes him look weak it means that our allies don't respect us our enemies don't fear us. what is driving this i don't know whether this is simply an affinity that he has for autocrats he seems to choose them repeatedly over his own intelligence agencies or whether there's a financial motivation that is his own personal finances we do know of course he has openly bragged about how many millions he makes from saudi arabia. and that is schiff is known as not being the only one commenting on the case who has been speaking out today. exactly and it's not just democrats holding donald trump's feet to the fire over what he said over the death of jamal khashoggi we've also heard surprisingly from mike lee who is a utah senator who's also a republican and considered to be a big ally of dogs in fact his name has been linked with the attorney general's job but also he was near his name was in the frame to take over at the cia and he has
12:06 am
said that from the intelligence he's seen and he admits that he doesn't get to see everything that the president seen but he says what he believes happened and what the president is saying while the two don't tally up he believes that mohammed bin selman was responsible for the death of jamal khashoggi and he says congress is certainly going to investigate this that would suggest that this isn't going to be an investigation by the house it's also going to be people in the senate are pushing this as well though interestingly enough you'll remember that two senators sent a question to the white house just a couple of weeks ago asking the white house to make a determination under the international agency act which is a human rights act in the united states asking them to deliver their findings on whether or not they believe muhammad bin salman was responsible for ordering the death of jamal khashoggi and if saw why they want the reasons whether he did or whether he didn't they're not leaving there's no middle ground here and so the white house is obliged within ninety days to hand over report to congress and on
12:07 am
the back of that congress may well decide to impose sanctions on the saudi crown prince so this is a problem or donald trump is saying maybe it did maybe didn't it's not going to go away neither the house nor the senate are going to forget about this and donald trump is going to be facing more questions about this in the days and the weeks to come and fish thank you very much indeed. overcrowding and bad weather is being blamed for the latest boat disaster in uganda a thirty one bodies have been recovered so far from lake victoria it's one hundred people were on board so such a barrier reports they were having a party on the boat now their relatives are in mourning. close to one hundred people were on the boat when it capsized overloading in bad weather in the exact area is being blamed. people were shouting the music was so loud and we thought
