or abuse by the senate of the trumpet ministration. the yeas are sixty three the nays are thirty seven this was the senate and good fourteen republican senators joined all forty nine democrats in recommending that the bull should be discussed on the senate floor in all probability a debate that will happen next week it's a direct repudiation of the white house which it sent both the secretary of state and the secretary of defense to persuade senators to vote against the proposal the united states should not be supporting a catastrophic war led by a despotic regime with a dangerous and irresponsible military policy senators furious to a reports that the white house had instructed the cia director not to attend the classified briefing this despite repeated demands that gina has pulled brief the senate on the khashoggi killing and the level of involvement of the saudi crown

prince mohammed bin solomon as to whether the crown prince was involved in this killing it's my belief that he was it's my belief that he ordered it i don't have a smoking gun. but what i do know is that he is responsible for this agency that carried out the killing he has done nothing to show ownership over what has happened the emotion table is agreed to back in march a similar proposal failed to move to the floor for debate fifty five senators voting against the massive turnaround reflected in the latest vote a clear indication of how the murder of job market shoji has galvanized the senate to reexamine the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia the legislation would end u.s. involvement in yemen but even if it is passed in the senate there is little chance it will go to a house that's under republican control and it's only likely to clear congress and be sent to the white house after the new house of representatives with

a democratic majority convenes at the beginning of next year and the president's office has been quick to make clear in a formal statement that any such legislation would face a veto this in turn could only be overwritten by a two thirds majority in both house and senate. nevertheless in what is now likely to be a protected war between president trump and congress this vote is just the first salvo mike hanna al-jazeera washington. this is pretty unprecedented one after the other u.s. senators came before reporters using pretty harsh language to describe saudi arabia and its crown prince we understand that saudi arabia is an ally. of sorts and of some important country a despotic dishonest dictatorship it's time to send saudi arabia a message this after the u.s. secretaries of state and defense gave a classified briefing to senators they again tried to protect the crown prince i do

believe i've read every piece of intelligence stuff in the last few hours i think i read it all there is no direct report connecting it to the workers of the ship we have no smoking gun that the crown prince would involve many senators say they disagree and they wanted to hear directly from the cia director but senators say the white house refused to let her come to the capitol prompting this highly charged threat from a usual ally of the president well you know 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. and if the briefing reinforces the conclusion that i already have tentatively formed then there will be no more business as usual saudi arabia

senator lindsey graham says he will not vote to fund the government until he hears directly from the cia that is a move that is likely going to force the administration to comply if this briefing was meant to get senators to move off this issue it appears to have had the exact opposite effect. al-jazeera washington. bret brewer and was the director of global engagement in the white house under president barack obama he says the vote by the u.s. senate is significant despite being launched any symbolic. i think it's a major rebuke of the trumpet ministration and of secretary pompei you in particular who this warning made his case about why the u.s. support for saudi operations in yemen were so critical and clearly senators were not convinced i think what we're seeing are several issues play out the trumpet ministration for the first part of the term has been able to ride roughshod over

congressional oversight what we're now seeing is both democrats as well as republicans saying we want to look at these issues we want to look at the direction that you're heading whether it's on saudi arabia but let's also bear in mind there is a rhonda factor in there is what's going on with north korea and i don't think on any of those scores members of congress are satisfied the matter is hanging heavily over the saudi crown prince as he arrives in argentina for the g twenty summit of well today to al-jazeera story is a by reports from buenos aires. he was the first foreign leader to arrive to when a sighting mohammed bin men landed here early on wednesday morning to attend the g. twenty summit a visit filled with controversy after the murder of a saudi journalist jamal khashoggi human rights watch asked argentine on monday to investigate the crown prince over war crimes in yemen and the killing of. but

experts say it's unlikely he would be detained. you have universal jurisdiction allows us to pursue crimes against humanity so there's no impunity because they committed in places where tribunals the captured will do not work but there is an immunity that protects the prints and it would be extremely complex for any type of detention to happen unless there's enough proof. and that's why a public prosecutor asked a judge to request more information from saudi arabia yemen and turkey to determine whether there is enough ground for argentina to get involved the process may be a long one mohamed bin file man will be staying at the saudi residence while in that has been prepared for his arrival the windows that you can see there were armored in recent days security is a major concern in. this days and most of the streets where the world leaders will be moving around will be completely shut down i the government has asked the

residents of one of cite is to leave the city all flights over the capital will be diverted and subways and trains and all public transport will be cancelled or did you ration of the summit. we have so many other problems like violence and football inflation protests every day that right now the g twenty summit is the least of my troubles. donald trump. and she being i just some of the world's leaders expected him when i. would for many a unique opportunity for argentina's president. to use the summit as a platform to attract much needed foreign investment. argentina's inflation rate will be close to forty five percent this year and the currency lost fifty percent of its value against the us dollar. has to focus on bilateral meetings to open up the export for argentine beef reduced targets for bio diesel and signed agreements

with china this is a chance for argentina and this is where the action can focus on concrete issues argentina's own troubles but also major issues from around the world like the killing. will likely draw thousands of protesters containing them will be a major challenge for the government in the next few days. a bomb attack in afghanistan's capital has killed at least ten people nineteen others have been injured by the explosion in kabul including several children gunmen used a car bomb to attack the compound of british security company g four s. fighting raged for more than an hour after the initial blast the taliban says it was behind the attack and the armed group has rejected a road map to peace offered by the afghan president it says it's working directly with washington instead earlier ashraf ghani told a u.n.

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 madman who have plans to attack ukraine and if there is no further aggression we will assume that the goal of these actions is achieved our shankar's remarks will do nothing to calm down the tension russia is announcing the deployment of more s. four hundred missile systems in crimea and donald trump says he may now cancel his meeting with vladimir putin that's june at the g twenty summit and bought a salaries this week. with his now trying to dismiss 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 the head of the presidential election scheduled to open in ukraine in march of next

year. from border incident nothing more than what happened in two thousand and fourteen when crimea decided to reunite with russia it was a completely different massive story here. as for the twenty four captive ukrainians including three 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 this seems to be widespread support for more. than this that i mean when you begin from here we don't see what's happening on the russian border but the president knows where to do you know his best. there is no need to panic we have to support our government. whatever hurts russia benefits ukraine the united there is to be martial law it should be nationwide one law for our daughters it should have been

welcome back. a reminder of our top stories this hour. u.s. senators have defied donald trump and moved forward with legislation calling for an end to u.s. involvement in the saudi led war in yemen it's their strongest signal yet that they want to punish saudi arabia for its role in the murder of john s. jamal khashoggi. the senators were largely unswayed by an early a briefing from the u.s. defense chief and secretary of state who warned against downgrading ties with the kingdom. and ukraine's president petro poroshenko has warned of

a full scale war with russia after a naval confrontation in the black sea earlier this week. colombians have been back out on the streets protesting about tax reforms and university funding student groups faunas and unions have joined forces and are planning more demonstrations if the government doesn't respond to them and asunder m.p.'s he reports from. it's the largest protest yet against the government of president even twenty thousand students took to the streets of. various routes across the city protestors are calling it the takeover of the capital. public universities are in a terrible state within the goetia eating the government for months but there's no political will so we're showing our discontent. protesters rallied in thirty two cities nationwide demanding more money for the country's scrying e-coli underfunded public universities. students from the ori narco region walked for four days to

participate in the protests in. education is centered in the capital but regional universities are falling apart and cover large areas of the country we need to think of the people that live in the periphery who are affected. and wednesday union members and social organizations join the protest against the government proposed tax reform that will increase taxes on a number of basic staples such as oranges and meat while cutting taxes on businesses. don't you hate it i live it ducasse announcements are critical for the country some for workers and entrepreneurs alike that's why we are seeing a growing green action of the population the first one hundred days of rightwing president have been marked by countrywide protest as he struggled to pass any meaningful legislation in congress most of the rallies have been peaceful but a time students have clashed with police. the u.n.

human rights office is investigating the violence well the catalogue. churches offered to mediate their negotiations if so far failed well this is a protest that's not about money anymore this is a protest about legitimacy and a place of the students are going to continue protesting until they get their place of the table and they're going to be joined by workers union by transporters union maybe even by a group cultural workers in the future so this is not going to stop anytime soon after almost two months these students now risk do think there's a master in school but they say they don't care and that they will continue rallying them protesting until they manage to change the face of public education yeah. yeah i just see you have a book that. mexico has as it will keep deporting asylum seekers who attempt to storm its border with the u.s. nearly one hundred people from central america were sent home this week after

trying to break through the fence in the mexican border town of. u.s. agents fired tear gas to stop them britain's economy will be worse off outside the european union no matter how the country leaves that's the upshot of a report from the bank of england looking at post threats at scenarios in the west case where britain crashes out of the block with no deal the central bank says the economy would contract by as much as eight percent in a year while under the agreement being pushed by prime minister trees in may the economy will be about four percent smaller over fifteen is the bank of england is ready for bracks in whatever form it takes the analysis released today confirms that the core of the u.k. financial system is resilient to worst case scenarios we have contingency plans in place to support market functioning if necessary. but to be clear the bank being

ready for births it is not sufficient to guarantee a particular economic outcome there's little monetary policy can do to offset the potentially significant hits to productivity and supply the brics it could into. our deal is the best deal of a double for jobs and our economy that allows us to honor the referendum and realize the opportunities of brics it. this is this analysis does not show that will be poorer in the future than we are today that doesn't. show. it shows we'll be better off with this deal what would make a score i want to have an impact on our economy for the future will be the policy is the right honorable gentleman this is bigger on the same day that that statement was made the prime minister said this is the best possible deal it's the only possible deal well i mean to say it's not hard to be the best deal it's the only deal my definition why therefore this is bigger by definition it's also the worst

in. tourism a has been in scotland on the second day of a two week tour of the u.k. as she tries to sell her deal to the public most scots voted to stay in the e.u. during the twenty sixteen referendum so there's a feeling they're being dragged out against their will or incident reports from edinburgh. seven out of ten scots want to stay in the european union and seven out of ten people with a university degree across britain do as well so no prizes for guessing what university students in scotland think about bret's it is primarily young people who are disproportionately young who are going to suffer the most and no longest possible as a consequence of breaks and indeed if you look at the proportion of. broken down as a particular part of. scottish universities a steeped in history very high quality and make up a big component of the scottish economy so there's a bigger concern here that in future students like these or university lecturers

who've come from all over the world might not be able to because of the government's plans to stop freedom of movement we are really sustained by being international. the mobility of ideas across borders as absolutely our lifeblood so what we're looking for is a breaks of settlement that sustains us as much as possible so we can work as closely as possible to our european research partners so we can be attractive to the talent that we need to attract from all around the world. as part of her nationwide tour to resume a went. but go to speak to factory workers and sell them her plans would protect their jobs. but the scottish government run by the scottish national party smells blood knows may is weak it is trying to corral all the forces against to come up with a plan far closer to staying in europe such as the opposition that it knows it has a chance i think. of anything could happen a real sattler try to find

senate into investigating the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia and drilling down on the involvement of the crown prince in the death of jamal this is something that is likely to be debated when the legislation goes on the senate floor ukraine's president petro poroshenko has warned of a full scale war with russia after a naval confrontation in the black sea this week the russian coast guard opened fire on ukrainian ships and detained three boats and twenty cream in a car bomb attack in afghanistan's capital kabul has killed at least ten people the taliban says it was behind the attack. early results and georgia's presidential runoff showed the ruling party backed candidate salome is there a fairly well when those are the headlines join me in thirty minutes for more news here on al-jazeera after radicalized youth daughters of al-shabaab. once
