arriva let's not forget that when he arrived there was a request made by human rights watch to argentinian judiciary to investigate him for war crimes for human rights violations and the killing of jamal khashoggi that investigation is ongoing however it's unlikely that any type of detention is going to happen because he's protected of immunity and in order to touch him and would have to go all the way to the supreme court but still or lies where on what type of a reception he would get what we have seen so far is that even though he didn't get a warm welcoming there was this big hand shake and high five with vladimir putin and also met with to resume from the united kingdom so most definitely all eyes were on him during this meeting and also a reminder that these g. twenty students exist in a vacuum because you mentioned syriza made the she's reassuring the japanese premonitions look post brics it you can carry on trading with us and the rest of europe via the united kingdom you don't have to move your car plants to other parts
10:01 pm
of europe so a clear reminder for him that this is about jobs the g. twenty does translate into how many jobs in the world economy. well most definitely but from the very beginning argentina holds the g twenty presidency and the main objective by the argentinians was to focus on the future of work on the future of development how to generate and adapt to new technology and among many other things but this g twenty in a way was overshadowed by us to this all other conflict that so wrong the conflict between china and the united states the meeting between trump and putting the presence of mohammed bin some money here and the killing of jamal khashoggi so there's a many many things that have affected the outcome and we will have to see whether it's some type of agreement was made in this final communique to raise of thanks very much talk to later. lots more still to come for you here on the news hour including new u.s. media revelations about a classified cia assessment of what happened to jamal. and two of boxing's biggest

stars weigh in ahead of that title will have on gene wilder fury fight sports in about. the forty first u.s. president george h.w. bush has died at the age of ninety four america through the end of the cold war and his troops let the first gulf war particle hang looks back at his life five months ago said i'm a saint started this cruel war against kuwait tonight a battle has been joined with those words u.s. president george herbert walker bush staked a place in history his successful campaign to drive saddam hussein from kuwait was the one term president's most significant accomplishment the son of a wealthy republican u.s. senator bush served in the second world war and was elected to two terms in the
10:03 pm
u.s. congress in the one nine hundred sixty s. president richard nixon became bush's mentor appointing him in bassett or to the united nations in one nine hundred seventy i shall resign the presidency of nixon resigned in disgrace but bush a savvy political survivor became head of the cia in one thousand nine hundred eighty six after eight years as ronald reagan's vice president bush entered the white house in one nine hundred eighty nine after a savagely negative campaign less than a year after taking office bush sent troops to invade panama to overthrow manwell noriega a corrupt military ruler who had turned against the us sat him was warned over and over again. the defining moment of bush's presidency came in august of one nine hundred ninety when iraqi tanks rolled into kuwait he ordered a massive military buildup consulted with allies and worked closely with united nations. american forces flooded into saudi arabia and established
10:04 pm
bases a development that later was cited by osama bin laden to justify attacks against the us. once underway the war did not last long iraqi forces fled kuwait in a panic to retreat but bush refused to order an advance toward baghdad opting not to topple saddam. in the aftermath of the war bush's popularity quickly began to fade one pledged change to define and haunt his reelection read my lips. that put broken and his chances hurt by a viable third party candidate he was defeated by bill clinton in one thousand nine hundred two. but before leaving office bush ordered one last military adventure invading somalia to end a famine that invasion sparked a guerrilla conflict with mounting u.s. casualties president clinton hastily pulled out the troops radicals came to believe america is afraid to fight. in retirement bush nurtured the political careers of
10:05 pm
his sons george w. and jeb but when george w. became president in two thousand he kept the elder bush at arm's length publicly making it clear he wasn't seeking his father's advice there bush's final years were devoted to charitable works teaming up with his former rival bill clinton to raise tens of millions of dollars for victims of the indian ocean tsunami and later katrina's out of office he was a much more popular president than his son honored by the u.s. navy with an aircraft carrier named after him. the word of the nation's highest civilian medal by president barack obama. in his final years he was occasionally hospitalized for breathing issues he told his granddaughter in a television interview he didn't fear death but spoke emotionally reading a letter to his family there may. be they're ready when you are but they're ready
10:06 pm
when you are. how many grandkids to watch. he said he didn't worry about his legacy that would be for others to take up and many of his actions in iraq somalia and saudi arabia had fateful consequences that unfolded years later the war is over with the benefit of hindsight historians will now debate how well george bush served his nation and the world while u.s. leaders past and present and all the world leaders were among those paying tribute to george h.w. bush. us as bush sr tried to quote create a new international order based on justice and equality among nations and he never forgot the kuwaiti people and will remain in their memory speaking of their time together on the world stage the former soviet leader mikhail gorbachev said it was
10:07 pm
a time of great change demanding great responsibility from everyone the result was the end of the cold war a nuclear arms race the former u.s. president barack obama said george bush's life is a testament to the notion that public service is a noble joyous calling and he did tremendous good along the journey the current president donald trump saying this through his essential authenticity disarming wits and on wavering commitment to faith family and country president bush inspired generations of his fellow americans to public service to be in his words a thousand points of light illuminating the greatness hope and opportunity of america to the world of white house correspondent kimberly health joins us live now from buenos aires kimberly how will he be remembered do we think. well there's no question that the foreign policy legacy of george herbert walker book bush is one that stands out but what we've heard from all of the previous
10:08 pm
presidents is they've issued their statement some of the ones you just read moments ago is that he is also honored for his seventy years of public service given the foreign policy legacy the fact is they call hayne outlined is very impressive is certainly notable the fact that he held so many high profile positions in the u.s. government but that was part of that public service enlisting in the u.s. military when he was just eighteen years old he held prominent positions such as the cia director the u.s. liaison to china the u.s. ambassador to the united nations the the vice president twice a son serving as governors and then of course going on for his son to be a two term president himself the fact that that happened is exceptional only one other family in u.s. history the adams family has achieved that but this family really bristled peter at the suggestion that it was a dynasty in fact well george herbert walker bush was born into privilege as the
10:09 pm
son of a u.s. senator in the u.s. state of connecticut it was that hallmark of public service that really stands out and it is notable that his final act of public service is civic duty where he was photographed in public just one month ago was when he cast his vote in the midterm elections so this is how he's being remembered and honored can believe do you think there might be a slightly awkward moment all movements plural the funeral service when it happens custom imprint to stick to the former presidents are invited but there were issues between george w. bush and donald trump at the inauguration ceremony. that's the big question mark that hangs right now here and when a sorry is this donald trump is here for the g. twenty meetings because you remember just about six or seven months ago when george bush senior's wife barbara bush died as is customary typically we see the
10:10 pm
presidents go to this type of funeral but donald trump was absent instead we saw malani a trump attending that funeral as so this is the big question mark because the the discourse between the bush family and donald trump particularly on the campaign trail given the fact that jeb bush the son of bush sr ran against donald trump was particularly harsh acrimonious you remember that donald trump was famous for calling him jeb bush low energy jab there was a lot of criticism about george w. bush in his decision to go to war in iraq so this is the question mark will donald trump attend the funeral eight is it remains to be seen but we do have a bit of a glimpse of what the next week could look like based on the fact that we've seen a very similar funeral for janitor senator john mccain the fact that we expect that george bush sr will lie in state in the u.s. capitol before he goes to his final resting place in houston kimberly thanks very
10:11 pm
much. well joining us here on set in doha. he's a professor of political science of kuwait university he was also a former national security advisor board member in the kuwaiti government mr how will he be remembered in kuwait very fondly very sad today in kuwait and the emmet has expressed the condolences of the whole quickly population. many quaid is from our generation maybe the new generation are not aware of it but we believe that he was the is that. of kuwait who played a major role in defeating saddam hussein are rolling back the patience of coate and shouting in a new world order. based on. the will of the little off law of the role of the international institutions are gonna zation and reviving the united nations what that was comet was during the cold war an education to
10:12 pm
a shouting and you were the order that we are seeing the opposite today with the president trump multilateralism the international institutions he was quoted once president bush. george w. bush saying that we don't want to have america close but we have to have the world open to united states so his legacy i believe will be very remembered as one of the major statesman of the united states with the high quality and qualifications unmatched by any other president in our recent history could that legacy be better however had he listened to his military commanders read about ninety one ninety two and gone all the way to baghdad and instead of in effect cocooning saddam hussein in iraq for the first half of the one nine hundred ninety s. going after saddam hussein while with the one side that that should have been the case but the mandate was. kept repeating was to. kick out
10:13 pm
saddam hussein from kuwait rolling back the invasion that is storing the illegitimate government of kuwait which he successfully had done what they would do it with the british and with the other allies and that the national coalition that also president bush and with his secretary of state james baker played a major role in forming that called but that we would have preferred that that would have been the case but then again that was not the mandate that he was given by the congress ok we will have to leave it there thank you so much for joining us of dollar thank you q eight ok let's just take you back to that are ongoing story coming to us of the french capital paris because we got this big protest on the streets adjacent to the shots elisei need. the arc de triomphe you can see there i'm wondering if we can flip to show you some of the other pictures coming through
10:14 pm
to us we're seeing people who are clearly injured on the line on the streets we just noticed that about thirty seconds ago just before we went to those live pictures the riot police have been using tear gas there are clearly vehicles on fire or something has been set on fire there we did see pictures a little earlier of one vehicle that had been set ablaze people demonstrating protesting the length and breadth of the country this is not just taking place in paris of the french president's plans emanuel microns plans to increase attacks on diesel because he wants to make france a cleaner greener country than it is at the moment this is significant for him when it comes to being a presidential problem because this is not the unions you know historically you can go back as far as nicolas sarkozy who've kind of gone to war with the union movement over various issues over the past fifteen or twenty years in france they haven't generally won when they've gone up against the unions the last time that happened was on the last french president because there were plans afoot to move
10:15 pm
french car production out of from. once the unions pushed back against that the president had to back down on that as well because the french are very proud of their car brands and their car makers their car the people that work in the car factories historically are paid very well but these pictures being reflected not as violently as this of course france's those protests against the plans to raise tax on diesel fuel are going to come in to force. of course must be aware of what's going on he's at the g twenty in argentina that will be the top of his in-tray when he returns to the same palace a little later this week. the wall street journal says the prince sent eleven messages to his closest adviser in the hours before and after jamal. the newspaper says it's seen excerpts of the highly classified cia assessment including alleged comments from the crown prince seemed to foreshadow the operation mohammed bin
10:16 pm
solomon's top a tiny oversaw the team which killed donald trump says there's no direct evidence linking the crown prince to the journalists killing has more now from istanbul. we've been hearing about reports of the cia the classified reports that they have a high level of confidence that muhammad the same as the crown prince of saudi arabia was the man who gave the order to kill him out but now we have. more glimpse of those classified reports by the cia including the fact that he was in high coordination with his top advisers out of the tiny exactly during before and after the time the killing of them out how should she took place eleven messages the cia did not specify what type of messages whether it was what's up with s.m.s. messages or by e-mail however the cia seems to have this report in detail and it is
10:17 pm
why they said they have a high level of confidence that conference of saudi arabia did order the killing they also mentioned that in august two thousand and seventeen that dealing with is a multinational she was top of mind for count prince mohammed was a man of that he told his aides that if we can't make him come back to saudi arabia we may do him to another country and deal with him. winter has got a grip in europe and it's many guises rather yes and one of them was the stormy weather is being creasing the storm in the northwest british isles in particular that here this is what's a storm diana did two or three days ago as it hit one of the shows a comb and scotland just brought in the atlantic is big rollers and you can see the sheer spin of this thing and that goes in one direction it's not a power in that followed by the next storm system so obviously they keep going in the moment heading across scandinavia which is kept norway remarkably mode because the air from the atlantic is remarkably mild and of course that means it rains
10:18 pm
plenty of rain with this strong wind from france right up to norway now they may coming up against what has been stubborn the cold weather this to go the temperature in minsk minus eight now better ross has been subzero for the last nearly two weeks by day and by night so clearly this is stubborn code which says atlanta care is not pushing out of the way snow is result of if you can get away with it of pushing more sure of the top of it the blue extends all the way into russia and back down through eastern of who's been there for the good part of the week this is a result this is one river in better pancake areas that's the start of the river itself freezing over which is almost certainly going to happen however the snow that's passing through minsk is going in that direction because the atlantic i think finally will start to wind the incident level that will probably be after freezing rain in germany tonight. thanks very much still to come here on the news hour around the world people marking the thirtieth anniversary of world aids day an
10:19 pm
epidemic that's killed around thirty five million people and in the sports news women's football in south africa gets a boost as the national team prepares to play the final of the cup of nations in ghana leah is here with that story in about fifteen minutes. the important thing if you're walking around in beirut was not to be in the line of fire from the holiday. we heard gunshots i was the first one to flee the hotter. the battle lasted three days and three nights and there were no prisoners at the end controlling in and you control the region around and that's why it was such a bloody battle an icon of conflict at the heart of the lebanese civil war beirut holiday in war hotels on al-jazeera and hundred forty twelve on. u.s. and british companies have announced the biggest discovery of natural gas in west
10:20 pm
africa but what to do with these untapped natural resources is already a source of heated debate nothing much has changed they still spend most of their days looking forward to for the dry river beds like this one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country haven't truly been able to escape the war. welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news hour live from doha mining's peter told me these are your headlines right police in paris a fired tear gas a so-called yellow vest protesters who are rallying for a third week against fuel tax rises they're demanding president emanuel scrap
10:21 pm
a new tax on diesel to promote green energy. flags are flying at half mast at the white house to mourn the death of george h.w. bush the forty first president of united states was ninety four years old he was president when the first gulf war in ninety one a little america at the end of the cold war was seeing the fall of communism in the u.s.s.r. and of course in eastern europe. on the second and final day of the g. twenty summit team of the u.s. chinese president discussed the troops in the trade war between the world's two biggest economies let's get more on that joining us here on set mowing bashara our senior political analyst g twenty communiques can usually sometimes have teeth or you read them and you think what was the point which one is it going to be this time do we think well look i mean it depends what are we talking about in terms of the. the title of this very particular g twenty i'm not sure they're going to go too far when it comes to sustainability for example the mood in general you could
10:22 pm
tell that each leader have gone to this g. twenty with a very personal and a very narrow state agenda of their own rather than sort of a collective action or global governance or let's take on issues such as sustainability collectively together and you would you sense that during the last twenty four hours or more there isn't much talk about it i don't know if we in the media then to find all of this boring and instead focus on what things to be more so in this summit than any other which is a soap opera that just keeps on evolving. the likes of mohammed. but as the throng and others who are attending the summit as far as the crown prince is concerned we're looking at pictures just him with letting it puts in there was that distinct feeling from all the different main presidents and prime ministers from the delegations from the p.r. people in effect signaling the crown prince is toxic and then we see high fives we
10:23 pm
see a conversation we hear the conversation between emmanuel mccraw and him and it was like a father talking to a son whether that's right or wrong in terms of interpretation doesn't really matter but that relationship is clearly not so toxic as to pull the plug on hold those big trade deals absolutely i mean in so many ways. i think there's a sense of realism that you're dealing with where the country's leader and i think amongst themselves a good part of those participating the g. twenty let's remember this is not the g. seven where there is a certain value system whether they stick to it or not but there's something called liberal democracies and the g twenty there is no such thing as the or the banker says that is more realism and there is liberalism and so in a sense a good part of the need there is there have had their share of controversial foreign policy wars repression crimes assassinations and so on so forth so really what are we like agree with president putin or not president putin has
10:24 pm
a lot of things hanging over his head over the last eighteen years beginning with chechnya on to accuse asians of assassinating journalists on to assassinate thing opposition figures in the u.k. and others so really when it comes to the leader of the g twenty i think in some way and and do excuse me if i do sound cynical mohamed missile on my thought might might feel at home now having said that for a good number of the more liberal more democratic more global leaders from western europe and other places. you get the sense that they do find it all toxic and they don't lecture him about what is right or wrong but look at what the pictures we just saw earlier i mean present is very busy with the yellow uprising in his country but prime minister may is incredibly paralyzed by the brig's that transition and president trump is of course completely preoccupied if not obsessed with his own investigation into russian collusion so these people of course have
10:25 pm
their own preoccupations with the with the trump administration also perhaps finessing what they'll say when they get the invitation to george bush sr funeral to whatever the whatever goes on with that went with where they have it when it happens at cetera how will he be remembered i mean one thing that none of the guests that we've interviewed today has touched on is the way that off the back of what bush did we got james baker we got less is more we got madrid we got a middle east peace process ok we now know hindsight is a perfect science didn't go anyplace as it turned out but you got a palestinian leader and an israeli leader on the lawn outside the white house you know you just remind me that you and i of course are of that age where we remember names like big ben you know the names like divots walker and so on so forth. i was there when he lost those elections and i ended up writing a book about his successor. bill clinton and i thought this was a very interesting moment in american history and simply to see how american street
10:26 pm
the president's because clearly it attractively i think a lot of people find him to be one superb president looking back at with what he is to think about president bush sr is that he started a lot of incredible things including the end of the cold war the beginning of the new order sort of executed the war that everyone thought would be a complete disaster but ended up being with limited objective and sort of worked out until his son sort of screwed up in two thousand and three he started the peace process that was multilateral with all sorts of arab countries involved but really trying to resolve this issue that he promised to dissolve once the gulf crisis as is done so what he started did not end up well but he started on a good start on a good footing when a number of groups issues especially to the so-called international rules based system was he may be a more subtle president than his son i mean difficult to imagine him for example in
10:27 pm
the literally the burning embers of nine eleven saying talking about crusades talking about they'll hear us walking across a member george w. bush walking across the aircraft carrier with a big banner saying mission accomplished and the entire middle east went oh no please don't do that but they did it difficult to imagine a man who gave us a thousand points of light in his inauguration speech being so subtle this is the thing about being seasoned well officials bush father was a seasoned or titian experienced with the ship he went through the various corridors of power and he was a humble man at the end not not an arrogant man not an out of unfound like his son or like the present president he was quite humble and despite the fact that he carried the big stick. but he spoke rather softly and in the end of the day he wasn't he didn't have that kind of arrogance instead he had that kind of humble attitude towards politics and political challenges facing him again because of
10:28 pm
experience and by the way if i may add just inject this point and this is exactly the kind of problem we have in saudi arabia and other places when young ambitious arrogant leaders tend to breed all sorts of idiotic policies while their parents would have been much more conservative much more humble and much more careful in taking on challenges that you have taken we have to leave it there mo and good to talk to us of a many thanks. it's the thirtieth anniversary of world aids day when world events highlight a global epidemic that's killed around thirty five million people since the early one nine hundred eighty s. some of the worst affected countries are in eastern and southern africa will almost twenty million people are living with hiv but many countries are taking action with better treatment and education namibia has reduced its cases of new hiv infection by fifty percent over the past three years as what teenie has forty four percent less new infection rates and south africa's hiv infection rate has also gone down forty four percent and botswana is doing more testing which has led to
10:29 pm
a thirty percent reduction in new hiv infections in the past two and a half years the world health organization warns of drug resistant hiv the as an emerging threats in some developing countries including zimbabwe a cash shortage there means some patients can't get the important medicine they need. explains now from harare. timothy sent around with feeling stressed he says the hiv medication he needs isn't always available at his local clinic to meet he takes antiretroviral drugs to manage the disease is. learnt about. it even the most. part of the famous and now a new. tracks drug free us some private hospitals and pharmacies want customers to pay in the us dollars not abandon us
10:30 pm
which is the local currency that loses value daily cash crisis as late as shortages public health centers sometimes run out of essential drugs or stocks have to be rationed zimbabwe is one of five countries hardest hit by age i believe age will be that supporting to the new waiting while deaths from a slave illness have declined over the years the economic crisis here could derail the progress that's been made so far doc to say if people stop taking their medication it could lead to drug resistant strains but when you step taking your drugs the hiv starts to want to play and when you just mark chances that you'll develop what we call resistant strains of hiv and when those resistant strains of the marketplace in your system chances are that the drugs that you're taking are no longer working as effectively as they should be drug resistant hiv is a concern globally for people like timothy it would mean taking new drugs which are
10:31 pm
more expensive and have more side effects he hopes it doesn't come to that. matter no he's executive director of programs at u.n. aids he joins us on skype from. the u.n. asserting some pretty ambitious targets here what happens if they don't hit those targets. well thank you i think we are making extremely good progress towards the targets with you call the one thousand nine hundred ninety vision is by twenty twenty to. reach twenty million people on treatment and at the moment the global community is making incredible progress towards that but we did want to make this world aids day a specific focus on on testing because we think it's a really important entry point for people into k. so we want to bring greater attention to today roughly a quarter of the thirty seven million people living with ancient they still to
10:32 pm
actually know they have the virus which means nine point nine and a half million women men and children who don't get treatment can suppress the virus can't do with issues potentially of market drug resistance and can protect their families and so it's really really important that we encourage people to go forward to be tested to know their status so that we can. really harness the power of treatment which is a no an enormous a and a pulling success that we have last night so i'm assuming here that really boils down then to being a mission of education as opposed to a mission of administrating medical care. well we made we've made an incredible strides in terms of the effectiveness of our strategies to encourage people to move forward with testing this south testing kits now there are approaches that we have with working with communities so that communities can complement encourage people to come for testing and we have seen over the last
10:33 pm
three years three to five is a steady decline in the number of people who study increase in member people who know their status of that line in the overall percent that don't what we do also really want to encourage is what we call viral suppression and it speaks to your point about comics in from comics in zimbabwe where we really need to make sure that once people are on treatment here into trucks very well. and that they are living in a house that much so that there are there are aspects of the candidate or a community here and putting in place a think to policies and processes for that from governments to make sure that the systems are working well and also of obviously making sure that the central equipment for testing people who are manual basis to check on their suppression is part of that package and that we're confident we'll have a tremendous impact on people's quality of life i don't support them for the
10:34 pm
transmission of the disease to mess it up thank you very much. the u.s. says it will cut the number of troops on the border with mexico from five thousand six hundred to.
