power is here to talk sport and i think actually no argument here to says differently a sport after this marathon we could guess and we have a winner finally finally after twelve draws and

a series of rapid fire type breaks we have a winner magnus carlsen of norway has been challenger fabio on a catamaran united states to retain his world chess championship title his six crown and he's only twenty seven only welling's was watching all the action in london celine we finally have a champion but it has been an epic epic struggle tell us about it. i think i think is a brilliant word for it is plain bearable and tense in their room not just for the millions of chess funs around the globe but up with a new audience coming to it because it's getting more coverage now a muchness column sort of showed what a colossus of this guy is regarded as the greatest player ever the norwegian because he did it his wife there was criticism of him when in the final show he could've just gone on and found

a way to win but all for the drool some people were silo he's bought all day but he know if he got to that he's quick a guy he'd be the favorite he crushed how long that's but it's amazingly that we had three weeks where our son closely locked together in ability only three points behind the model follows and you could make a cause for color on it being the second best player of all the it looked like nothing was going to gates and finally did call us and showed what a great champion he is so what will this mean for both players well for coast he has been proved right now he looks like in some ways he he might be quite an hour going card so i don't think he is i think he's very as short as he needs to be he knows he's the best he knows how we need to apply and he has broken through in magazines and in t.v. shows he has this ice cold to me he has a dead time sense of humor and i think he's very marketable but carolina you have

to feel really sorry for him biggest this could have been a my sing story of an american who. the first champion from america for over forty years since it was also from brooklyn he buffel so hard he did so well he had chances to win i think you'll be back to challenge again for ok so we've been talking about this for about three weeks do you think chess of made a breakthrough into the mainstream. it really felt like you know one thing you didn't have was a lot of free to air television contra coverage in lots of countries but it adds so many millions watching online for new forms of social media they've never had that before this form is mushrooming if a sport in asia this is where the guy originated but now we're having millions following this the players a call of code twenty somethings but maybe this is not can see them in magazines

more more on chart shows i can see all sickos that find a way of look it's going to be this intelligent this part that compared to supercomputers i think there's a real market for it and it's not just colson who's been the winner but the game of chess ok will be great to get your thought and later but for now thank you a laugh even champions league final islip report are in danger of failing to make it out of the group stage this time around just two points separate four teams in group c. heading into wednesday's and ultimate round of games liverpool are in france to play p.s.g. while group leaders napoli are at home to red star belgrade and describe it was from the beginning it's a difficult one and know that's it and we never more devoted we didn't think negatively about it we wanted to we were looking forward to the game in paris as we don't play here very often and it's a big task it's just. really exciting and it was said

what is ira's for the g. twenty summit there are calls for argentina now to take legal action against him. hello i'm maryam namazie in london you're with al-jazeera also coming up this hour ukraine warns of all out war as russia threatens to send more missiles to crimea following sunday's black sea in creation. this is this ominous is does not show that will be poorer in the future that we are today. the british prime minister defiant on have breaks it deal despite government figures showing the country will be worse off. members of the top administration of briefing senators on relations with saudi

arabia the situation in yemen and the murder of john is jamal khashoggi they've heard that cutting ties with saudi arabia over the journalist death would be a mistake but some of the sadness is what so convinced they are concerned that a key person the cia director gina hospital was not at the briefing or republican senator lindsey graham has warned he'll withhold his vote on key issues until the senate he is from the cia on the murder. then they guy have a hard time getting me to vote. for us to move forward. i'm not quite frankly i'm not going to be denied the ability to be briefed by the cia that we have oversight. about whether or not their assessment supports my belief that this could not have happened without m.b.'s knowing gina haskell if all of the accounts are true would have said with a high degree of confidence that in fact the crown prince of saudi arabia was

involved in the murder of a united states permanent resident and a journalist and it is outrageous that we are willing to turn audio away from such a murder. because we have quote unquote interests. well yes if secretary of defense james mattis has said that the investigations did not find the crown prince to be behind the mud. we have no smoking gun. that the crown prince was involved not to tell him you need and you want to know the smoking gun we have not changed that accountability for the murder of our expectation everyone can call more accountability. if our position is not at all by the way hired. by a person red color red principally. on that speech

in washington. that we were just listening to james mattis patchy quite a vigorous defense of the saudis and specifically the crown prince. exactly and they keep repeating the same exact talking point the secretary of state the secretary of defense say that there is no smoking gun link in the murder of jamal khashoggi to the crown prince of saudi arabia mohamed bin sol money that goes against reports that we are hearing in the media from sources within the cia and n.s.a. that say they intercepted phone calls between the crown prince and others basically saying that you needed to be silenced so is that in fact the case was senators wanted to know they wanted to hear directly from the cia director gina housefull she after all was dispatched to turkey as soon as the murder was announced she is privy to all of the intel they wanted to see her here is part of this briefing she

didn't show up and senators later came out and said the secretary's were asked about that and they said the white house told her she couldn't come so this is really outraged and it's outraged normal allies of president donald trump you heard lindsey graham right there keep in mind republicans have a tiny majority in the u.s. senate a one or two. more senators follow suit with his threat to basically not vote on any spending legislation till he hears directly from the cia director that could grind this town to a halt so that is a very serious threats and i have to tell you for those who came to the camera we didn't hear from all one hundred u.s. senators those who came from the to the camera to talk to the media there was some really surprising language that was used about saudi arabia the crown prince that we don't normally hear of here for example senator bernie sanders one of the sponsors of the resolution would get the u.s. out of the war in yemen here's what he had to say. was caused by the saudi led invasion of yemen three years ago. led by

a despotic dishonest dictatorship. and it isn't today. that the united states senate tell saudi arabia and tell the world that we are not going to be continue. to be part of that humanitarian disaster we are ending our participation in the horrific war. so despite the trauma ministrations best efforts we have heard from senator has and as you say they are not satisfied with what they have heard today what does that mean van for that bipartisan to and u.s. assistance the saudi led coalition in the war in yemen might hit succeed where it's failed to fall. very well could succeed there no one's making any bold predictions they're saying things like we think we have the votes but we are basically what

we're hearing from the sponsors is they think they're going to get a vote on this today the most important person we've heard from on this issue has been senator corker senator bob corker he's retiring but he's still very influential in foreign policy so basically what he said he came to the cameras and said i've inclined to vote for this and then once it passes he can add in the moment with just fifty one votes so he sent a message to the white house what you've done isn't enough do more tell us what you think that should be we can put that in an amendment because we're going to do something if you don't give us anything well that we're going to decide on our own and that could be something that you don't like so the initial resolution will say that hey congress constitutionally has to vote on war they didn't do that in yemen so the us military needs to stop all of this it's assistance so that's one possibility they could do a sense of the senate putting the blame for the murder of directly on the pro prince that could be damning to his reputation internationally they could cut off arm sales of the president is that he doesn't want to do that he often exaggerates grossly exaggerates the figures of what saudi spends but the quick question here is

going to be not this is. early this vote that the days from now all the votes that will come on these amendments and then the important thing is going to be the numbers do they have such overwhelming support that if the president was so a to veto any legislation that they could override it so this isn't settled but i can tell you if they came the administration came to this briefing to try to shut it down it didn't work all right thank you very much in washington meanwhile the saudi crown prince is and one is ira said of the g. twenty summit on friday human rights watch is to argentina to use a clause in its constitution to investigate mohamed been some non-zero and. so also calling for the crown prince to be prosecuted over crimes against humanity in the war in yemen to raise a boat has more from one desires. he's arriving here at a moment when human rights watch has asked the argentine judiciary to investigate him for war crimes in yemen torture of saudi nationals and the killing of the

journalist. right now a prosecutor is evaluating the possibility of beginning an investigation into who say asians and allegations for human rights watch we do know that he is requesting more information from several embassies among others but what many here are wondering is whether there will be enough time for that prosecutor to do anything at all mohammed bin so much is expected to be here between three and four days and maybe more be enough time we also spoke to several legal advisers and they're saying that he's case he's a representative of a head of state that he has immunity and that his case should be treated by the supreme court about two weeks ago we were told that a bilateral meeting between him and been and president might be was going to happen while what we know right now is what they're saying is that it would only happen if there is enough time and this is not something that's happening with argentina it's also happening with gone from when the white house say that a bilateral meeting between mohammed bin from. not be confirmed at this time

obviously there are some world leaders coming here there's a lot of expectation about the family photo for example whether mohammed bin will be in that photo because there are many leaders who do not want to be seen shaking hands with mohammed bin because it would obviously generate some problems at home. ukraine's president is warning of a full scale war with russia a recent confrontation in the black sea between the two countries has worsened already difficult relations moscow says it plans to deploy more s. four hundred sufis to a missile defense systems to crimea and ukraine is now imposed martial law in parts of the country for thirty days under some as reports now from kiev. as though the heart of his country goes on the. president is making

a stark warning about russia accusing it of sending more tanks to its border petro poroshenko says he wants ukraine to do more to defend itself against the threats of a land invasion. so. these tanks have not yet been removed from there they're still there i don't want anybody to think those are toys the country is under threat of a full scale war with the russian federation so the goal of this martial law is to show that the enemy will pay a very high price if he decides to attack us it will be like a cold shower that will stop the mad men who have plans to attack ukraine and if there is no further aggression we will assume that the goal of these actions is achieved. those remarks will do nothing to calm down the tension and russia is announcing the deployment of more f. four hundred missile systems in crimea and donald trump says he may now cancel his meeting with vladimir putin that's jew at the g twenty summit and board of salaries this week. and is now trying to do. yes what happened on sunday as

a border incident. it's a provocative missile. i think it's a provocation a provocation organized by the authorities and i think the president himself ahead of the presidential election scheduled to open in ukraine in march of next year. would beauticians. the border in syria nothing more than what happened in two thousand and fourteen when crimea decided to reunite with russia it was a completely different massive story. as for the twenty four captive ukrainians including the three who are in hospital they'll remain in detention for at least the next two months under the court's orders of a judge how is this all playing out for people in ukraine's capital kiev and seems to be widespread support. that they've got i mean we.
