and 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 for people delivers on the boat delivers in a way that protects jobs and livelihoods and security and our united 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 brigs 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 brics it. if parliament rejects
8:01 am
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 on making the case for this deal with the outcome in sat down to the break in gave may yet see britain stumble towards an exit without a deal. on louder voices suggest a second referendum on whether to breaks it at all don't hold al-jazeera brussels. meanwhile the leader of northern ireland p party was a propping up to resign as government has reiterated it will reject the deal. as i said we're not voting for this and i understand that there are many others across the government that will not be voting for it either so what i'm calling for is a better day i'm asking trees in may to listen to what her apartment areas are saying and to listen to what those of us who are supporting our government in terms
8:02 am
of common sense but i agree with your saying because remember that confidence in supply agreement was to be about shared priorities in terms of threats that are certainly for us this is not something we could sign up to what jonathan list is the deputy director of the think tank british influence he says there are number of outcomes that could come into play if parliament doesn't endorse the deal the first thing will happen is probably the government will go to the e.u. to ask for maybe new terms the e.u. will maybe your first few sweeteners but nothing substantive they'll probably reintroduce its parliament threatening all kinds of disasters if pollin doesn't endorse a second time if parliament still doesn't endorse it we can look at the general election will more likely than a referendum she says that she's not going to resign we just started know what's the atmosphere will be afterwards but a general actually very very difficult because she'd have to call it herself or the task be very small conference of the government and tory m.p.'s without a very against their own government and that it doesn't look entirely likely if parliament induces a second vote a second referendum and then that's up to the government to implement the
8:03 am
sovereignty of parliament what we're looking at the moment is every single option is on its own implausible but obviously the huskie one option and so it's something that seems impossible now will it actually become a reality and so we're looking at what might be. well it's also to come here on the news hour including i i. am from rise between iran and the u.s. some a rainy and say the familiar death to america chant shouldn't be taken so seriously . on the streets of madrid women vent their anger against judges we'll tell you why in a small the company but a tourist final between book a journey has been replayed has been postponed until further notice details come up later the father of the school. now the man set to leave the house intelligence committee when the u.s.

congress resumes in january has accused president donald trump of dishonesty of his response to the murder of jamal khashoggi adam schiff says trump's links to saudi arabia need to be investigated an official report from washington d.c. . the us president received his intelligence report into the killing of jamal khashoggi and he's rejected the idea it firmly says the saudi crown prince ordered the operation maybe. maybe. donald trump says he's standing by saudi arabia a country he believes will help with his action against iran and could help sell a middle east peace deal to the palestinians he's also talked about the arms sales agreed with saudi arabia is important to the u.s. economy even though numerous sources dispute the value in terms of dollars and jobs but the man who will lead the house of representatives intelligence committee in january democrat adam schiff today says he's seen intelligence reports too and the answer is more definitive the president is not being honest with the country about
8:05 am
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 actually makes him look weak but it's not just democrats are piling pro. on the white house trump our live republican senator mike lee says there bones to be congressional hearings into u.s. links with saudi arabia look i don't know why he's siding with the saudis but i think there are things we can do to change our relationship with the saudis notwithstanding whatever his personal motivations might be donald trump me will come face to face with the saudi crown prince we heads to the g. twenty meeting of leading industrialized countries in argentina later this week despite widespread international condemnation of the killing of the washington post writer one leading saudi royal says other leaders know they have to do business with mohammed bin soman where their leaders are.
8:06 am
warmly. who have become prisoners who are not i think all of them recognize that the kingdom as a country. and the crown prince. are people that they have to deal with congressional leaders seem united on the conclusion reached by u.s. intelligence services that crown prince mohammed bin soundman was responsible for the operation that killed jamal khashoggi senators will receive another classified briefing on tuesday that mean well increased pressure on donald trump not just to use stronger words but to back that up with action alan fischer al jazeera washington u.s. officials have closed one of the world's busiest border crossings after some asylum seekers tried to breach a border fence along mexico. more than five thousand migrants are camped near the san ysidro crossing on the mexican border city of tijuana hoping to gain asylum in america they protested after president trump promised to hold them
8:07 am
in mexico until individual cases are heard by u.s. courts or some migrants who try to force their way into the u.s. a tear gassed by u.s. border patrol. well mexico says it's not agreed to shelter thousands of central american asylum seekers waiting near the southern u.s. border and that's despite president from tweeting the following migrants of the southern border will not be allowed into the u.s. 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 now releasing into the us all will stay in mexico if for any reason it becomes necessary we will close our southern border there's no way that the united states will after decades of abuse put up with this costly and dangerous situation anymore let's get more now from roslyn jordan who joins us live from washington d.c. rosen so what more can you tell us about this incident that happened on the border . well there was a demonstration of being carried out by some of the estimated five thousand people
8:08 am
who have moved from central america into mexico hoping to come to the united states and ask for asylum because of the security situation in their home countries however they have been basically stopped at the us mexico border and when a few of the people apparently broke away from the protest and tried to create a hole at the base of the fence that is apparently when u.s. customs and border patrol officials started firing tear gas from u.s. territory into mexico at the crowd people rooting for hoarding that the tear gas cloud covered several hundred yards people were coughing children were crying from the irritation of the tear gas we don't know if there were any more serious injuries than what's already been reported but in response to this incident u.s. cups thems and border patrol closed the southbound entrance and the northbound
8:09 am
entrance from mexico into the united states mexican authorities closed their port of entry as well in sana cedes road that's the main border crossing from california into baja california it's now been closed for more than three hours there's no word on when santa c. throw is going to be reopened according to local press reports a couple of other local and smaller border crossings may still be open but as of right now the main border crossing sana seen through is still closed and it's closed even to those persons who are u.s. citizens or u.s. residents they're not allowed to come back into the u.s. until further notice presumably this is bound to provide fresh ammunition for president trump and his supporters. that's right aaron in fact our earlier on sunday the president during one of his tirades on twitter talked about the need for
8:10 am
mexican authorities to try to prevent these migrants from actually reaching the port of entry where they could make their asylum request. is insisting that they not be allowed to come across and make that request even though the u.s. is party to international treaties that permit such a border crossing for the purpose of requesting asylum in another country of course there's now was some controversy on the mexican side whether or not these persons are going to be allowed to stay in t. juana while they wait in hopes of getting to make an asylum application there's also been some reporting suggesting that some local authorities are simply tired of the migrants being anti quanah and may use this as a pretext to turn in and abuse these people so it's an ongoing situation it's one that is certainly going to empower the president who has said that he considers
8:11 am
this an invasion not an act of trying to protect provide humanitarian relief to these people who have come up from their home countries in central america but there are also many who are already very critical of the u.s. decision to close the border crossing not just because of the needs of those who want to come to the united states but also because this is the end of the thanksgiving day holiday weekend and there are many people who went south for the holiday and now can't get back home until further notice roads thank you. now the man who served as donald trump's adviser joined the twenty sixteen presidential campaign will begin his prison term on monday george papadopoulos was charged with lying to federal investigators in the probe into whether trump's team colluded with russia during the election and u.s. court has denied his attempt to postpone his sentence and remain on bail a former aide will be the third defendant in the probe to serve jail time in uganda

season in style details coming up later but far more of that stay with us. hello again it's good to have you back well here cross united states we are finally past the holiday weekend but still a lot of bad weather here across much of the great lakes as well as into the northeast now this is a system that brought the blizzard conditions across the central plains that system is now bring some very heavy rain up towards the northeast also down here towards the southeast now once this system pushes through we're going to be ushering quite a bit of cooler air across much of the northern plains so for chicago three degrees here on monday it's going to be a high but on tuesday you're going to be dropping down to about minus four minneapolis at minus seven winnipeg minus twelve you factor in the wind chill and
8:18 am
it's probably going to feel more like minus low teens in some of those locations up here to the northwest though we are seeing another system off the pacific and that is going to bring some very heavy rain toward seattle as well as portland oregon across much of the caribbean well fairly clear as you can see on the satellite image the clouds up here to the north but the change is going to happen over the next couple days we're going to be getting more rain in the forecast particularly up here off the gulf of mexico there's that band of rain right there and by the time we get to tuesday it's going to be sitting done here across the yucatan peninsula for cause mel can coon you're going to see some heavy rain and also have and things are going to go downhill with temperatures at thirty. i've had this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of town the military and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest situations optimised and packed for. the main things that
8:19 am
sets out zero apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people but about ideas or politicians or what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok to get a little complicated i'll put it up if this is not an act of creation and i'm going to vote for walking. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice enslaved. some oversold risky to speak out as a surprise that. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now.
8:20 am
welcome back a quick reminder about top stories in a cell ukrainian officials say russia has committed an act of aggression when it used weapons to stop ukrainian navy ships in the black sea russia opened fire on and seize three vessels off the coast of crimea. e.u. leaders approved a final agreement for the u.k.'s exit from the european union but u.k. prime minister to resign may still be used to get our own m.p.'s to accept the deal and have it passed through parliament. on the mindset for me the u.s. house intelligence committee in january has accused president trump of dishonesty over his response to the murder of. adam schiff says donald trump's links to sad. the arabia need to be investigated. but in spain thousands of people marched among the un's international day for the elimination of violence against women many are angry arrest spanish court's recent decision to clear two men of rape charges
8:21 am
standstill as more. the streets of the spanish capital filled with thousands of women making themselves heard there calling for gender equality justice for victims of sexual assault and for an end to violence and abuse. it was one of several demonstrations held in other european countries the need for a cultural shift and to encourage more women to speak out against abuse is what drove many here to attend but most of my friends they are even though seeking the relation seems that their boyfriends going to hold them so much and they can not go with their friends and go outside or go to a party without them men and women have to work together to make these borders save button and go for travel for everything the march was particularly poignant for women here after a controversial decision by spanish judges on friday tuman were cleared of rape the
8:22 am
judges ruled their attack wasn't rape because even though the victim pleaded for her attackers to stop she didn't physically fight back they were sentenced to four and a half years in prison rapists usually get up to fifteen years the talk is that very night the three. no three one of them said that the woman can send the other two they said that the the one thing not concerned by their worth more than i think . also going to new they should why because it was not threaten their woman was no threat then the one who was not the numbers she did not receive violence in the so at the end the doctors decided that there was an abuse you know the rape. sunday was international. all day for the elimination of violence against women u.n. secretary general antonio the terrorist said every woman and every girl has the right to a life free of violence spanish courts received more than one hundred sixty thousand
8:23 am
complaints of violence against women last year a sixteen percent annual increase in spain we have a comprehensive compress and know it in there based violence but only when he crap and is buying back by her marrow experiments six hundred violence for three days for the use three days they are not missioners there are no progress there now and they are mostly dressed for those women that are suffering. is excited by the names of all types. this year alone more than forty women in spain died in gender violence so if it these protestors there's still a long way to go cap and stansell al-jazeera chance president idriss deby says he wants a new era of cooperation with israel as he makes a landmark trip to the country it's the first such visit by a child young leader since the two sides broke off relations in nineteen seventy two but in his meeting with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu he also said
8:24 am
that pursuing relations with israel would not change his country's concern for the long stalled peace process between israelis and the palestinians. brazilian president elect. revamping the country's foreign policy that includes cutting relations with cuba i'm limiting trade relations with china brazil has also announced it's moving its israeli embassy to jerusalem this in human as more. the cuban doctors who worked at this primary health center on the outskirts of brasilia are gone more than it has begun recalling more than eight thousand doctors who work in poor and remote areas throughout brazil after president elect noddle described them as slaves of a communist regime documenting that our community was used to having cuban doctors now we don't know if anyone is going to replace them on. the confrontation with cuba it's just the first step of a major shake up ahead in brazilian foreign policy. the president elect's promise
8:25 am
to follow donald trump's footsteps by relocating brazil's embassy in israel to jerusalem has outraged muslim nations in such ways they're trying to emulate they struck to use in the narratives that donald trump in terms of the u.s. the main difference is the fact that brazil is not u.s. we don't have the same power of the u.s. . indeed brazil sells at least five billion dollars of beef to egypt to the middle east and gulf nations produces fear they could retaliate if the move goes ahead. has added fuel to the fire by saying palestine isn't a country and therefore shouldn't have an embassy here breaking with longstanding support for a two state solution to the palestinian israeli conflict but. brazil has always behaved as an intermediary and not a participant in the conflict we hope it remains that way for brazil sic for its long standing prestigious as
8:26 am
a nation that respects international law. who's been nicknamed the tropical donald trump is shifting from multilateralism to a strong alignment with washington this is brazil's foreign ministry its new boss a mid-level diplomat with no experience as embassador but was main characteristic is his staunch support for the us president and like and president drum the new foreign minister. of climate change which he in fact described as marxist dogma. not only not be going as far as donald trump who has withdrawn from the paris agreement but north and south america's two largest countries looks set to join forces to push a conservative foreign policy agenda throughout the globe. al-jazeera. now death to america has been chanted in iran by generations of protest is angry at
8:27 am
what they see as american imperialism and meddling donald trump in the rallying call as a clear example of iran's intentions as he accuses terror on of being a state sponsor of terror but some iranian say americans shouldn't take the chance literally the same as robbie has more than. i it's a phrase that has come to define decades of hostility between two countries. death to america is a rallying call for iranian leaders to bring demonstrators to the streets it's a polarizing statement but many defend it as a minimum response for decades of harmful american policies in the middle east with their hands tied politically and economically for years some say the least they can do is raise their voice i think this policy would be the same there's that segment of public's chance that. i think if. there was a decree. that no one is allowed to say that i don't think you'll see any change in u.s. foreign policy but the slogans critics say in an era of trouble it's
8:28 am
a problem of messaging giving his administration political ammunition to use against iran. in some corners of american political society iran supporters say trump is the problem during a visit to tehran nation of islam leader louis farrakhan said trump's policies in the middle east could trigger a global conflict no chance to bring yet but he. did you being. for you the world you. not you really. you. just do great nation. in the. years when pressed by a local reporter to say the phrase seemingly a political stunt this season civil rights activist responded i know she.
8:29 am
will iran and. the. day have a right. but i'm not sure i'm left. farrakhan has been an unrelenting critic of successive american governments but even for a controversial figure like him uttering a phrase so incendiary in the united states was going too far. for decades the language of protest in iran has been dominated by the three words death to america but opinions have been split and in the wake of more sanctions iranians are again asking if that slogan accurately defines public opinion here for many iranians it's time to abandon the politics of the past. the slogan to america is wrong we shouldn't want any country when we want someone. for us.
8:30 am
our officials say death to america but some of their children now live and study their. slogan is not a good thing because it explicitly calls the other side hostility thank you it's not i never said it i never will not all people in iran say it's not anti-american demonstrations are often fueled by anger even hate speech and despite bearing viewpoints it's difficult enough u.s. actions have done more damage than any iranian namecalling ever could. as president says he will not reinstate his prime minister under any circumstances well that's rigged not to the power struggle in the country he's held his first news conference with foreign media since the political crisis began last month. from colombo. problem is the mind the rajapaksa pulling together several strands in his address to the nation talking about the mess this country had been dragged into

by the government of running over missing her that prompted present my policy to say not to make the change and appoint rajapaksa as his prime minister he talked about how his government during its time with him as president had managed the country efficiently despite a world economic downturn handling and managing the war that they had still come out trumps now he did say that the president as a result had found him rajapaksa the perfect man to handle the country at this juncture it will be able to guide. the president and trusted the country to us because he knows that we have the capacity to meet such challenges as well you won't be too he's well aware of the fact they know that if a general election is held and the government led by ass comes into power we will solve all these problems your government that we will form together with the president our full and people or government. present mighty policy recently who addressed foreign correspondents earlier in the day did try and justify his actions
8:32 am
are essentially which plunged this country into political chaos on the twenty sixth of october he did however say that if the vicar missing a faction proves its majority in parliament in the correct and legal way that he would accept a prime minister nominated by them you didn't figure that if you know any longer if you will if just the legal right to choose the prime minister by showing the majority i have told them very clearly not to bring run a liberal missing it to me i will never appoint him as we have the three main players in this crisis present policy to say in a prime minister mind the rajapaksa and ousted prime minister on a victory missing a trading accusations come to accusations and claims sri lankans on no more the wiser as to what to expect interlock his immediate future. china has welcomed the defeat of taiwan's ruling pro independence democratic progressive party in saturday's local elections the last lead to the resignation of president sighing
