the sun rise once a day. or not if you are in the hands of. you can make the sun shine your rendition visit to one on al-jazeera. leaders of the world's biggest economies gathered for the g. twenty summit in argentina where the us china trade dispute and murder are likely to overshadow proceedings. and we shall hear this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up tensions with moscow over ukraine are also in the spotlight at the g twenty as the premium government blocks russian men of military age from entering the country. shortages mean more bad news for zimbabwe's struggling economy. and we'll look at why tourism

is booming in the holy land and what it means for palestinians. leaders from around the world are gathering in argentina on the first day of the g. twenty summit but a number of side issues threaten to overshadow the main agenda they include tension between russia and ukraine which led u.s. president all tromped to cancel his one on one meeting with russia's vladimir putin of the us china trade war has focused attention on talks between china and china's president and there are also questions about how to handle the awkward presence of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon who has been linked to the killing of saudi journalists so we have a lot of ground to cover let's go to our correspondents and in a moment we'll talk to alan fischer about the situation he is standing by in the clone theater where. leaders will attend

a cultural event and the coming hours first let's talk trade with kimberly health that she's at the cost of us out of the argentinean president's mansion so kimberly there's been a and lot of talk a lot of back and forth in this trade war this tit for tat with u.s. and china which means there's a lot of focus on this meeting that supposed to happen between those two leaders this weekend what do we know about this the potential for any type of progress. yeah there's a lot of optimism but whether or not this can be pulled off it's still a long shot that's because the u.s. has some pretty big demands that china up till now has not been willing to yield to and many people say that they don't expect it will at all especially when the united states has accused china donald trump specifically has accused china and president xi of conducting predatory trade practices namely that they have china

has been dumping cheap only made goods into the u.s. economy that it's been conducting cyber attacks as well as stealing intellectual property intellectual property theft so as a result the united states says it needs as part of this agreement specific language that china will stop these practices know china for its part says look at what we've certainly made concessions that were willing to do so again but often it's the case of the words in the actions not really matching that so this is why many believe that it's going to be difficult to strike a deal and if it that doesn't happen donald trump has already threatened very steep hikes in tariffs on chinese goods into the united states already there are hundreds of billions of tariffs already in place and that tit for tat trade war you've talked about well it could go even higher in january donald trump threatening it and even saying at some point it isn't think it's necessarily a bad thing because bring in revenue into the united states so both sides say

they're willing to strike an agreement but again in order to accomplish that there are some pretty lofty goals ahead that many believe are unachievable ok there seems to have been an agreement between the u.s. mexico and canada on basically reworking the reaper placing renaming nafta give us some details on that how significant is this. yeah it's all three of those things essentially the nafta deal that was in place for some twenty years justin trudeau the canadian prime minister calling it the new nafta maybe that's because the new name is the u.s. m.c.a. so ca being canada put there the and probably not liking that too much in fact canada's had a bit of a sour mood about this agreement because in place still are those very steep tariffs once again put in place by donald trump on canadian steel and aluminum into the united states that was not removed so the canadian prime minister referring to

this is the new nafta throughout the signing ceremony and even donald trump well he's sort of been celebre tory with regard to the signing of this it's a bit premature given the fact that it has to be ratified in the u.s. congress and already democrats who will control the house of representatives back in the united states come january say hey not so fast so there are some significant concerns about this agreement in the united states that is expected to go through canada mexico without any problem but that's why it will donald trump a sounding or trumpeting the agreement being signed it is a bit premature to be so celebrate tory ok can't really help it live for us but i thought is complete thank you it's good alan fischer now the other major issue that's kind of overshadowing the g. twenty is the presence there of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon in light of the murder of channel journalist mark shows you so how alan how has he

been received. well there were all the normal diplomatic niceties when he arrived at the g twenty president machree of argentina welcome to him as you would expect him to do he then moved into the main meeting hall there he had a few exchanges with the likes of president mccrone of france who told them that he wanted international experts to be involved in the investigation of the murder of jamal khashoggi there was a very brief exchange caught on tape and at one point president mccrone says to him in english you don't listen to me and mohammed bin some of said i will listen what that was about we're not entirely sure but it certainly informative that the two when quite to ease with one another we know that a number of people had planned to have meetings with mohammed bin selman print president machree being one of them but he canceled that and donald trump says that there are no plans nothing in his shed jewel to meet with the saudi crown prince even though he has been perhaps his biggest international supporter there was

a meeting with vladimir putin of russia the two of them stood together in the main hall the shook hands it appeared that they were sharing a joke and we nor that the saudi foreign ministry has been tweeting pictures of mohammed bin some are talking to some of the world leaders at the g. twenty to shore to the world that he has perhaps not been as isolated as some people thought he might be at this what was very telling door was what is called the family four to one all the leaders get together mohammed bin summons to very awkwardly to the far left of the picture if you were looking into it who was placed next to him that was always going to be a matter of interest it was actually someone from a development bank rather than any of the other world leaders press that at the one of turkey where he was placed at the far left of the picture those things are a coincidence these are stage managed so they kept the two man men far apart but president did pass by mohammed bin someone on the way to take up his position

neither men looked at one another they certainly didn't exist. jenny wards and we're not expecting there to be a discussion even though the crown prince is asked for the opportunity to meet president so all eyes are on what other meetings take place we know that the saudi foreign minister certainly immobilizing their social media presence we do know is many pictures they can of mohamed bin salman but what is instructive is what one senior royal said at the weekend one senior saudi royal he said look if you're talking about the world economy if you want to discuss oil prices then you have to engage the saudi government and when it comes to the g twenty the saudi government is prince mohammed bin solomon and so we can expect there to be more leaders having words with him in the coming hours all right alan fischer live for us thank you more now on the g. twenty summit empanadas al jazeera is senior political analyst marwan bashar joins me on set i want to pick up on what alan just said basically saying that saudi by

a virtue of their wealth has a seat at the table and that seat is mohamed bin salmond's and basically there's nothing anybody can do about that or i mean of course that's the math right the math is that the g. twenty is the group of twenty largest economies in the world and hence they are the ones who are present some percent or the world economy and every one of those members cannot put a condition or a veto on another member participating that's the difference between this summit and the summit of the g. seven that became g eight if you remember and then it became g seven again yes when western democracies basically froze and kicked out russia because they thought it wasn't acting liberally or legitimately enough to be a member of that very exclusive club. but the g. twenty that came on the back of the you know global economic crisis was born out of necessity and hence no one really could put condition

whether president xi was democratic enough or liberal enough or prism buton was liberal enough and so on so forth so everyone comes out of necessity and everyone understands the differences among them and the main difference you could say is the one between the liberals and the in liberals the democrats and the non democrats and that is the way you the way things are going you know most of them are capitalist economies whether it's centralized capitalism or private capitalism and hence the difference today is between the rising india rising china rising brazil and they've already risen prosperous northern west and countries that are more liberal and signs of the question for so many of us who've been both in the north and the south why is the united states and europe so anxious and how come the south is so ambitious in becoming basically equal to the west well the answers are really

simple the american economy has tripled since one nine hundred seventy five but there's more inequality within the united states than ever before so in so many ways there is the anxiety that is born from within the west but it feels like the south is catching up because the rate of growth of china and india really trumps anything that we see in the united states and europe and hence there is anxiety the question is whether they could come together despite their differences the president despite the anxiety to deal with the very cliche of this very particular summit which is sustainability will they really help the world move forward in that direction not it seems to me that they are all acting in self interest in global interest. are they even addressing the issues that you brought up such as economic inequality and how it's getting worse do they do they really

dig into those issues that things like this look absolutely that's the main question i think that for the loss of some it's a lot of the hard work a lot of the homework has already been done so we in the media we basically focus on the leaders there and the bit of the bilat federals and the bickering and so on so forth but there finance and foreign ministers have already worked on a lot of these people it works and i think they've already been advanced and they just need to be approved by the leaders what happens behind closed doors of course we don't know a lot but unlike previous summits whereby these questions of sustainability or for example the environment over example poverty they were central and few of the leading actors have four of them through here they are more like a nice way of presenting themselves to the world while in practicality they are just driving their own very narrow agenda is in order to move ahead and that for me is a civil sum game that i think the world will not necessarily come out when are out

of our thank you very much thank you so add on al-jazeera and wales choose but now many are having second thoughts and want to have million children need urgent aid in central african republic we'll have the latest on an alarming report. children's organization. hello again welcome back to your international weather forecast will decide i want to start over here towards the eastern part of the mediterranean where we have seen plenty of clouds and rain affecting much of the area especially for turkey now for saturday that storm system is going to be making its way to the northeast a lot of that rain as well the snow in the higher elevations is going to be pushing towards the east so for eastern turkey down here across syria into parts of iraq we

are going to be seeing some very heavy rain at times and then down here towards baghdad we are going to sing temptress come down slightly but better conditions as we go towards sunday in clear for you across parts of the caspian though we're going to be seeing some rain just to the north for tehran maybe sixty degrees in baquba a rainy day for you with twelve degrees there well that same area of clouds is going to be pushing across parts of saudi arabia now we could be picking up a range or two here across the border areas but as we go from saturday to sunday in those clouds could be a slight shower but we don't think it is going to be heavy at all as it makes its way across parts of the day and into parts of qatar as well for doha twenty seven degrees the un as we go towards sunday increasing clouds for abu dhabi with the temperature there of twenty eight degrees and then as we make our way down here towards on the part of africa a few clouds passing across parts of cape town as we go towards saturday but temps are there is going to be about twenty two and up towards your hand at twenty eight .

but there's no way do you think we're going to see some kind of sea change in the u.s. . i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody. from al-jazeera. at the top stories for you g. twenty summit is underway with tensions between the u.s. and china taking center stage and there are also questions about the president's.

who's been linked to the killing of a saudi journalist. the leaders of canada mexico and the united states have signed a new north american trade deal at the g. twenty summit. spending more than a year pressuring canada and mexico into rewriting the original nafta after repeatedly calling it a job killer for u.s. workers. russia's actions against ukraine are also a major issue at the g. twenty russia has announced it's moving the ukrainian sailors it's captured to a prison hospital in moscow they were taken prisoner off the coast of crimea on sunday for a challenge from moscow. decision to ban all russian males between the ages of sixteen to sixty from entering ukraine is a big controversial step from the poroshenko administration they are saying that this is for national security reasons that what they're trying to prevent is the

establishment of russian private armies inside ukraine but this is going to affect a lot of normal people there are families in russia and ukraine that are very interlinked with family members on both sides of the border there are people in ukraine who are russians who live and work there there are people in russia who are ukrainians who live and work there now the big question is what was the russian administration going to do about this they usually have a principle of reciprocity if they perceive a policy of a foreign power to be anti russian they will generally respond in kind so looking to the foreign ministry for some sort of sponsor for so that we have this from there is a corridor. talking about retaliation is just terrifying because if anyone tries to retaliate to what's happening in kiev now it could lead to a crazy situation if we're talking about this on

a national scale quite simply it could lead to a meltdown so there you have it the russians basically saying we will not do anything they are basically presenting what is going on in ukraine at the moment as a kind of collective freakouts from the poroshenko administration and positioning in moscow to look like the adults in the room syrian state media reporting thirty people have been killed and u.s. led coalition airstrikes targeting i saw in their cars or most of the victims are women and children earlier on thursday in the same area nearly twenty people and some i saw fighters were killed and a coalition strike on a prison. thousands of farmers have been marching to india's parliament and protest against years of financial hardship for the past two days they have been walking through the streets of new delhi demanding higher prices for their produce i also want the government to wave farm loans and lower prices for diesel and fertilizer prominent opposition leaders have joined the protests with national elections just

months away. point. i want to assure all the farmers in india and i do not speak only on my behalf all the leaders standing here said the same thing that we stand in solidarity with you do not be afraid as british prime minister theresa may struggles to sell her breakfast plan there is growing evidence that those who voted to leave the e.u. are changing their minds that's leading to growing support for another referendum lawrence lee reports from swansea in south wales. when wales voted in favor of leaving the european union it was seen as a protest vote against the british parliament but as an act of revenge it has backfired already a shiver went through south wales when this german car parts company recently announced it was moving to the constant because of bricks it it will cost five hundred british jobs the workers are exactly the demographic which voted leave it seems many are now having second thoughts you get

a feeling that people are. thinking about it more no than before the referendum is the truth i don't think they realize the implications and they currently see in the mess that we're in at the moment trying to deal with the negotiations on the withdrawal agreement. on a totally i would i think yes people are in second thoughts. the prime minister visited wales this week when she took office she talked about it being an opportunity to build a new economy that works for everyone somewhere that message got last bits of south wales are among the poorest parts of the whole of the european union and when people here voted leave many said they expected the british government to step in and offer the same sort of financial support to them that the e.u. had previously done not only has that not happened it hasn't played any part at all in the debate about what post bracks it britain should look like. small as he had pinned its hopes on a hugely ambitious billion dollars scheme for

a vast renewable energy projects in the bay it could have been a perfect example of a new economy for a poor part of the country but the government blocked it saying it didn't offer value for money local business groups say they've been offered no design no blueprints for how it will benefit them i think it's clear that their government in london very little intention of continuing the levels of investment that we've seen from europe in this region or any other region around. down. here in southwest wales we found a long way from london a long way from priorities the sense of bricks it betraying the people who voted for it is leaving supposed suggesting that wales and other places like it's changing their minds those who want another referendum delighted if there's one thing we've learned over the last two years is that the european union are going to bend at the knees for the wishes of the british i think people are not really being led down the garden path and they have a right now to express their view if this place can do the right thing to

a more sensible. all the talk in westminster of staying in the customs union or ambitious trade deals with america means little in places like this they expected brecht's it to rebalance the british economy and they still waiting for someone to tell them how it will lawrence lee al-jazeera in south wales. people have been arrested and during protests inspired by france's so-called yellow best movement against a fuel tax police fired water cannons and tear gas at the crowd who blocked a key road in the belgian capital protesters are calling on the government to resign over rising fuel prices and a decline in living standards in a staff is warning of an unprecedented humanitarian disaster for children in central african republic it says tens of thousands could starve to death as rival armed groups battle for control of land and resources. these are the victims of one of the world's most forgotten conflicts starving children fill central african

desperate we have a whole generation of children growing up in this spritz desperate situations . unicef says children and central african republic have been abandoned by the international community for too long and without urgent help they could become a lost generation brian al jazeera. zimbabwe's economic woes only seem to be getting worse one place that shows how desperate things are getting is at the petrol stations hundreds of cars are queuing up for hours due to another round of shortages or taso reports of harare. it's the second fuel crisis in just over a month and it's not just in the capital harare it's all over the country fuel pumps are driving the slushy seeing people have been waiting in long lines for hours some say even days hoping to get fuel what happens is they hear a rumor or they get word that fuel will be delivered could be delivered on the

second day they come and they join the line many people we've spoken to today angry and frustrated quite frankly i can't leave again as i'm sure so many people feel it's a it's just such a waste of time and productivity. as i'm bob wins it's super frustrating because instead of working as you know hustling we are. something that we have become very good outs and shouldn't. be bullied for the sins of known friends. of the should. something from. people who are desperate or con waits in line for whatever reason are buying the fuel on the black market it's illegal but they say there's nothing else they can do they need to get to work the needs in the children to school but buying on the black market means paying in u.s. dollars many people here don't earn u.s. dollars you can just walk into the bank and get the money because of cash shortages

all across the country the government is telling zimbabweans to be patient they saying fuel supplies leave food maybe by the end of the week but people are frustrated they're angry they say enough is enough they want less talk and more action. the holy land is experiencing its highest number of tourists in years israel says october figures for record breaking and it's exactly what bethleham in the occupied west bank means as the palestinians have been struggling to make ends meet stephanie decker reports from bethlehem through to your wardrobe this is a rough one. the holy land pilgrimage is a multi billion dollar industry right now but it was a very good guest i'm right. you're wrong it's been struggling over the past few years not in our trade well you know us as far as i know i think this year has been the best in years and they were so happy to see people coming from all over the world oh actually in the market out of india all of them willing to this pilgrim

a different type of tourist is also starting to come attracted by big name art and it's raising awareness about the political complexities here the anonymous british artist banksy has been drawing attention here with his hotel next to the controversial separation barrier and boasting the worst view in the world his multi-million dollar art appeared on the separation wall last year from my point on have your it's or not of a good idea to have this well over over there between the two peoples who saw necessary evil. the problem is this french family tells us they came here because of the artist's work that they were shocked at seeing the wall while. i'm christian and i can't accept that so symbolic that you build a wall it's not possible they has to be another way the new wall and to terrorize a population where the visitors are here for religion politics or art palestinians
