in astonished to find a solution for the war in syria and with no progress and the u.n. is calling it a missed opportunity and far as well have all the sport including made after twelve drawn games and a series of tie breakers magnus carlsen finally retains his world chess crack. u.s. senators have voted to debate a bill seeking to withdraw support for the saudi coalition in the war and yemen if i'm president donald trump the bipartisan vote ignored warnings from the secretaries of state and defense that it would be a mistake and damage u.s. saudi relations senators are also calling for more transparency on what the intelligence community knows about the murder of journalist. mike hanna reports from washington d.c. . the yeas are sixty three the nays are thirty seven this was the senate and good
4:02 pm
fourteen republican senators joined all forty nine democrats in recommending that the bullshit 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 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
4:03 pm
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 of 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
4:04 pm
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 which nevertheless in what is now likely to be a protracted war between president trump and congress this vote is just the first salvo mike hanna al-jazeera washington. the u.s. has been providing logistical and intelligence support to the saudi coalition in the war in yemen since two thousand and fifteen began at a president barack obama and it's meant to help stabilize the region and counteract iranian actions who the rebels fighting the coalition are backed by tehran until recently much of the u.s. assistance was in the form of in-flight refueling for saudi jets bombing yemen and has been halted in recent weeks in the wake of the outrage around the murder of jamal khashoggi the u.s. still cooperates on intelligence for the coalition and is the top arms supplier to saudi arabia and the u.a.e. and it says its officers advise the coalition on potential targets to minimize
4:05 pm
civilian casualties in that a nation's agent has arrived in yemen's capital saana to review the humanitarian crisis caused by the war arklow clock says the suffering is concerning and has once again called on the warring parties to end the fighting i'm very concerned about the humanitarian situation which has deteriorated since i was here and as i've said repeatedly to the security council there are five things i would like to happen to improve the situation and to reduce the suffering of the people first i'd like to see is to say should a full still a tease especially around the key aid infrastructure especially around the data secondly i'd like to see the environment in which the aid system operates made easier for will be aid agencies keep the whole safe and keep the roads so provide access to will the key facilities how to handle it us live from washington d.c. so patty that the trump administration what is the case they're making for why they
4:06 pm
are so invested in this war when clearly there is a lot of pushback from those in congress that don't agree. there is a just for the let you know how this issue is being framed here in the united states it's front page news the senate confronts trump over saudis so that's basically how this is playing the trump administration they sent secretary madison secretary pump into the hill with the message that if you want to confront iran you have to be allies with saudi arabia and really it was interesting secretary from power wrote an op ed that went into the wall street journal that basically challenge to why the senate was getting involved basically saying butt out this is our policy the senators responded pretty clearly that they were going to do that so what's next well they'll be a vote probably next week to further the debate big given that this is front page news and it is on all of the cable channels and all the network newscasts it is likely that that vote will pass and then senators are going to start debating what
4:07 pm
to do and they've they've the republicans have said they want to work with the white house whether or not the white house is willing to give at all remains to be seen so that right now it seems to be kind of a bit of a bipartisan issue but things change in a few months when when the democrats take control what might be different then. well really i think it's you're seeing movement from both the republicans and the democrats that they want to see something get done we heard from the current house speaker paul ryan yesterday saying that you know he wants to hear from the cia so that's really what we're going to be watching for next we saw senator lindsey graham normally an ally of the president he came out of that briefing and he was angry he basically said in two weeks the government runs out of money unless congress votes he basically said i'm not going to vote for that until i hear from the cia director paul ryan said we're going to get a classified briefing so the white house obviously very reluctant to have the cia
4:08 pm
tell congress what it knows but there have been reports that the cia has a high degree of confidence that the crown prince mohammed bin solomon directed the killing of jamal khashoggi so if the senator gets his way if the speaker of the house gets his way and the cia passes that information along there's going to be even more momentum during this congress to do something to send a message to saudi arabia ok atika highline for us in washington patty thank you. this show the murder is casting a shadow on the saudi crown prince is this it to argentina he is there for the g. twenty summit first meeting with world leaders outside the middle east since the murder of democracy traceable reports. he was the first foreign leader to arrive to win a society mohammed bin salmen landed here early on wednesday morning to attend the g. twenty summit a visit filled with controversy after the murder of a saudi journalist. human rights watch asked argentine on monday to investigate the
4:09 pm
crown prince over war crimes in yemen and the killing off. but experts say it's unlikely he'll 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 are captured or do not work but there is an immunity that predicts 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 fellman will be staying at the saudi residence while that has been prepared for his arrival the windows that you can see there were armored in recent days security is a major concern. this days and most of the streets where the world leaders will be
4:10 pm
moving around will be completely shut down. the government has asked the residents of when a site is to leave the city or the 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 with us. for many a unique opportunity for argentina's precedent. 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 u.s. dollar argentina has to focus on bilateral meetings and get trying to open up
4:11 pm
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 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. interest of those joins us live now from three so what were some of the issues the key issues at the summit were camilla forward to well this summit is filled with tension with expectation about what will happen in the next few days not only because of the arrival of mohammed bin selman here we just recently it's been confirmed that the argentinean government told the prosecutor investigating
4:12 pm
this whole case that he has diplomatic immunity and that in order to touch him it will have to go all the way to the supreme court let's not forget about him had been said when i arrived here and human rights watch asked an argentine judge to investigate him for human rights abuses torture and war crimes in in yemen so leaders are arriving here to one side is donald trump is expected to arrive later this thursday canadian prime minister just into a door has just arrived but also there's lots of expectation about the bilateral meetings that will be happening here for example done on trump being on the trade war between china and the united states the meeting between donald trump and lobby me to pool critic it's going to be supposedly a follow up to the health summit that critics say donald trump did not challenge putin about russia's interference in the united states elections what's interesting is that even though argentina who holds the presidency of the g twenty has tried to
4:13 pm
focus on developments on infrastructure and food sustainability the main focus right now is on on this bilateral meetings that will be happening here in the next few days or so of course there will be thousands of protesters at the summit what has the government done to guarantee security for those there. well protests have already begun early this week we have seen already hundreds and hundreds of people on the streets mostly from argentina other protesting against the governmental stary team measures and longer other things where i am right now there is expected to take place at people's summit people who want other voices heard they're saying that the g twenty represents richer nations and that latin america africa asia are completely under represented that they would like to debate the future of development the fight against poverty climate change among other things what's interesting is that the government has set up three rings all around
4:14 pm
the city so it's going to be very very difficult for protesters to get close to where the precedents are the government wants to prevent violent protests like the one that happened last year in humber and humbug and what they're basically saying is that they are deployed over twenty thousand security forces in order to prevent any type of violence from taking place ok personal life for us and various others teresa thank you. plenty more ahead on the news hour including taking over the capital alison's of colombia and still the streets promising protests until the government meets their demands. plus fire and fury a brawl breaks out as to have a way boxers face off for the final time before their big fight or has all the details in sport. russia says it's deploying additional surface to air missiles in its disputed region rather of crimea in the wake of
4:15 pm
a they've all confrontation in the black sea several ukrainian sailors were detained during this incident in the current strait kid says russian forces are preventing ships from breaching ukrainian ports in the area the strait is needed to resupply the region of eastern ukraine near where a poll where it rains fighting russia backed separatists crane has imposed martial law in parts of the country as enter simmons' reports from kiev. as to the heart of his country goes on the war ukraine's 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. 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
4:16 pm
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 the cheve. remarks will do nothing to calm down the tension and 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 sari's this week. is 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 ahead of the presidential election scheduled to open in ukraine in march of next year.
4:17 pm
from border inside nothing more than what happened in two thousand and fourteen when crimea decided to reunite with russia it was a completely different mass of story here. as for the twenty four captive ukrainians including three hospital they'll remain in detention for at least the next two months of 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 he knows best. there is no need to panic we have to support our government. whatever hurts russia benefits ukraine the united because i knew if there is to be martial law it should be nationwide one law for our. it should have been introduced earlier we've been at war for nearly five years. that
4:18 pm
last point to remind us of the ongoing conflict in the east of the country between pro russian separatists and ukrainian forces in which more than ten thousand people have died since the fighting broke out in twenty fourteen what's happening off the shores of an excursion mir is threatening to open up a new front line in the conflict. under symons al-jazeera kiev. chalons now who is in moscow sorry what are you hearing about this deployment of more missiles to the region. well barely a couple of days ago we were being told by the ministry of defense the. deployment of a fourth battalion of the s four hundred at offensive system was being organized and that it would be in place in crimea by the end of the year well today on
4:19 pm

4:20 pm

4:22 pm
a new constitution and free elections is about curtailing his powers and changing syria system of government. that is why damascus is resisting the un committee's work and mandate it doesn't want a new charter is we produce something. important and be a political to start a process while you're in even more than forty years forty of geneva accords for instance we will do a study of the so-called asked in a format is about undercutting and sidelining the un but russia can't formalize the syrian government's victory on the ground without the international community that means damascus will have to give up at least some political power for now however it is showing no intention of doing so. asked in a south korea supreme court has ordered japanese industrial giant mitsubishi to compensate twenty eight south koreans for forced labor during the second world war

a walker has more from the capital tbilisi. really received sixty percent of the vote in yesterday's turnout now that is an extraordinary turnaround when you consider that in the first round of these elections she and her rival rick overshadowed they were practically neck and neck i think then she had just a percentage point over here in the first round poll and the reason for that was that she has been very struggled let's say to resonate with voters because of remarks she made about georgia's war with russia where she said georgia should shoulder some of the responsibility there was a new p.r. campaign that so what's the opposition. as criminal as a dangerous step backwards for georgian politics because greg overshadows a her rival had promised to pardon members of the former government who had been charged with abuses of power while in office some of them are in jail some of them
