5:00 am
no way isn't the easiest way to solve the. u.n. observers who you invited into the country earlier this year to finish the job i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody's conspiracy. do you think we're going to see some kind of sea change in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia we have an obligation there is that. it was betrayed told up front al-jazeera. this is al-jazeera. jordan this is the out as they were news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes signs of progress that u.s. and chinese presidents chew over their trade war to high stakes. as the g. twenty summit wraps up turkey's president tries to keep up the pressure on saudi
5:01 am
arabia with the murder of the journalist. also ahead. of paris another weekend of protests spirals into street battles. and mexico's new president promises to end centuries of poverty and marginalisation among indigenous people after being sworn into office. the u.s. and china have reportedly agreed to hold off on new trade tariffs on each other after a working dinner between donald trump and she being chinese media say the two presidents decided not to impose tariffs after john reid the first when the u.s. was planning another two hundred billion dollars worth of levies well the white house hasn't confirmed this but a senior advisor is quoted as saying things went very well. what china correspondent agent brown is standing by with analysis from beijing but first let's
5:02 am
speak to our latin america and its alysia newman who is in the argentine capital at this g. twenty was very much of a shadowed by the khashoggi murder and tensions between russia and ukraine but all eyes of course were on those trade talks between donald trump and she shipping. absolutely that the dinner that you just mentioned to has had to work the mortgage markets absolutely biting their nails finance and economic ministers from all over the globe very much on edge wondering what if anything could come out of it now going into it in fact the german chancellor angela merkel appealed to the presidents of the world's two biggest economies to settle their disputes saying that if this was if this trade dispute was to escalate that would seriously threaten global economic stability very very strong words president trump when he went in simply said that the chinese president xi jinping was a person that he felt was very close to him
5:03 am
a wonderful person and that he believes and i'm quoting him that at some point both countries would be able to strike a deal that would be good both for the united states and for china what he never said was whether that deal could be struck in time to avoid an escalation of this trade war what we're hearing from the chinese media is that apparently it has but as you well pointed out that has not been confirmed yet does this mean that the increase in terrorists that president trump had strengthened to slap on china after january the first going from ten percent to twenty five percent on chinese goods going into the u.s. worth hundreds of billions of dollars whether that is what's going to stop or whether we're going back to zero that is not clear yet we are have had no indication from the white house we may hear though daryn something more perhaps later on in a few hours when the chinese president meets with argentina's president the host of this summit. they're having
5:04 am
a bilateral if they decide to make comments about it we may have more clarity then but it's a long way off still. in the argentine capital to see a thank you let's cross over to adrian brown in the chinese capital agents and what's been the reaction so far out of china to these trade talks between trump and she's shipping. well we're getting a bit of information trickling through in state controlled media as well as the south china morning post newspaper in hong kong which is owned by china's richest man and he is someone who has very good relations with china's leaders now this paper is reporting that a truce has been agreed and that the united states come january the first will not be applying more terrorists on chinese goods but what's not clear is whether the united states is going to exist the existing tariffs that it's put on chinese products remember at the moment the united states has impose tariffs on some two
5:05 am
hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese good china in return in a tally ation has applied tariffs on some one hundred ten billion dollars worth of u.s. goods but no official details so far this paper is also reporting that towards the end of the meeting a loud applause could be heard from the meeting room that seem to bode well for the progress of these talks the we've also seen pictures of still photographs of the two sites seated at the table the only women in the room of course were just interpreters there in of course lies a nother story the people's daily newspaper here in china has been reporting slightly blanda details saying that president xi jinping enter the talks saying that he was happy to be meeting president donald trump and that cooperation was best for china and the united states and that he looked forward to the next stage in their relations it's worth remembering daryn that all this of course happened on
5:06 am
the weekend that the former president george bush sr died and he is a man who played a key role in the establishment of full diplomatic relations between china and the united states the fortieth anniversary of that actually fulls on january the first and he is certainly in china regarded as someone who was a friend of china and that's certainly been reflected in the coverage here thank you. the other major outcomes of the g twenty summit const. the most powerful leaders in the world got together in one aside is for two days and managed to reach an agreement something that seemed unlikely when they arrived at the great upon a communique that reflects and made to revitalize trade to revitalize the. we ratify the concerns we all share i would climate change the community came addressed come on issues like the future of labor empowering women and
5:07 am
infrastructure but also divisive topics like trade and climate change the communique shows the big differences that exist among the g twenty members and while it stresses that the paris climate agreement is irreversible it also has a paragraph that stresses why the united states withdraw from its ban on trump has made it very clear that he's skeptical about what causes global warming but the fact that it's all in one declaration is considered to be a success also included intentions to reform the world trade organization a demand made by the united states which considers that to be falling short of it took decades the g twenty summit came during an intensifying trade war between the united states and china following the communique a highly anticipated meeting between the american and chinese president where leaders stressed the importance of finding a solution so in recent years those figures. what is important is that talks are
5:08 am
happening today between the u.s. and china that will probably bring solutions because all of that did indirectly when chinese american economic relations are not respected us as a world order requires. other issues threaten to overshadow the summit such as heightened tensions between russia and ukraine as well as the presence of saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon who is being investigated by an argentine judge for human rights abuses in yemen and he suspected role in the killing of jamal khashoggi the meetings concluded with no major security incidents despite the small demonstrations that took place on friday a big success for argentina which also managed to help find some type of consensus among world leaders whose differences continue to set them apart that is what one of sightings well let's talk to jane galu she's the acting director of the australian center on china in the world at the australian national university and she joins us live now from canberra agenda i suppose the big question was always
5:09 am
going to be whether or not donald trump was going to escalate the trade war dow it seems they're sticking with the status quo for the time being at least anyway yes well that's what the news seems to be coming out of i mean it's pretty evident that they haven't but given that the newspapers that have reported on it already telling us what president xi and trump had for dinner certainly the news that there won't be a escalation of the trade war is good news indeed how much room to maneuver does beijing really have i mean the u.s. buys much more from china than it sells to them and all indications are that the chinese economy is slowing down. well it's definitely taken a hit from this trade war in the last year and you know i put a number to it that growth has slowed and export growth has taken a bit of a pummeling but there's still plenty of other markets for china to sell to and of
5:10 am
course the u.s. trade deficit problem isn't being sold data through through the tariff measures that have already gone in place so what this means for china in the ahead i mean obviously it depends on whether this latest agreement from trump laid to or in the evil of all of the tariffs that would be good for chinese industry to be good for chinese exports but i think even more importantly to be good for u.s. consumers and for us producers as well i mean i think the clearest evidence of this is being the general motors news this week that fifteen thousand jobs were going to be lost and was the blame for that doesn't fold squarely on the trade war they have put that cost about a billion dollars in additional taxes that are being paid because of the tariffs on steel and iron ore imports into the country so i always do find it fascinating that trump is that this will be celebrated as a step in the right direction but the cost he's inflicting on his own people who
5:11 am
through these trade war a large they're even bigger in china but i always think that it's worth recognizing that the chinese people who know how to bitterness they're going to where they set out if they have to they'd rather not and donald trump says he wants to stop the unfair transfer of american technology and intellectual property to china and therefore protect u.s. jobs but do you think the west perhaps needs to start learning to share technical and strategic space with china. look that's the the big question that the u.s. has been grappling with i'd say for over a decade now i mean there's been the question of as china rises or we say now has risen to become the second largest economy in the world the u.s. has a choice does it share the global sort of strategic space with china does it trying contain it and really the trade war has looked like
5:12 am
a serious effort to contain to the detriment of pretty much everyone in the global economy. so the question now is whether or not a deescalation of the trade will can give china the space in the united states the space to try and share that global technological frontier i don't think there are many people in the united states who are in europe for that matter who are particularly comfortable with that idea is almost to a kind of righteous ownership of the global technological front that is belongs to the west for so long and china rising up to challenge that has been really difficult a difficult pill to swallow whether or not they can learn to share that should take expats in the future remains to be saying but there's certainly stuff that china can do on the other side there i think some of the technological transfer issues the abuse of intellectual property rights days of valid concerns that the united states holds their issues that the hasn't dealt with particularly well in the past
5:13 am
and so there is a nade for reforms to the global trading system and there's a need for reforms within the chinese economy as well and then also there's a need for an acceptance on the behalf of the western powers that china's rise to the technological frontier is really a good thing for china a good thing for the global economy and again a good thing for most of the world's population john gotti very good to talk to you thank you very much. well as you heard earlier the murder of saudi journalism has overshadowed much of the g twenty saudi crown prince mohammed bin cylon appeared isolated earlier on a speculation mountain about his alleged involvement in the killing but as alan fischer reports they too was a bit different. the saudi crown prince has had a busy day too at the g. twenty one on one with the argentinean president and there was an extended meeting with president putin of russia the man who gave him a high five on friday. turkey's president at the one revealed the case of jamal
5:14 am
khashoggi it was raised only once in meetings with all the leaders and it was by the canadians he said the saudi crown prince gave what he described as an unbelievable response i asked him what he meant everybody did. the saudi regime first denied it and then tried to distort facts and finally admitted to this murder turkey has adopted a very determined attitude which is help disclosed associate we have never seen this as a political issue and shall never do so for us this incident was a horrendous act of murder and shall remain so. the canadian prime minister said he also when he came face to face with the saudi royal i also. spoke directly to the crown prince to highlight our concerns and our need for better answers on the killing. and also the need for an immediate cease fire and humanitarian aid to go to yemen which is the largest
5:15 am
humanitarian catastrophe going on in the world right now and is a subject that we brought up repeatedly in various conversations as the pressure grows in the u.s. to take firm action against saudi arabia a report in a u.s. newspaper the wall street journal claims to seen details of eleven messages the saudi royal sent his closest adviser who oversaw the so-called hit team in istanbul the newspaper says this led the cia a america's intelligence agency to conclude mohammed bin someone likely. but america's secretary of state says they still stand by the crime prints i have read every piece of intelligence that is in the possession of the united states government and when it is done when you complete that analysis there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder of the thirty crime prince was never going to be ignored or shunned i think gathering of the
5:16 am
world's twenty largest economies that our diplomatic niceties to be. the real test will be in weeks to come as countries reexamine their relationship with saudi arabia and the man who is effectively in charge. at the g twenty and. now the rest of the news is the day's news is ahead we'll look at whether the world can tackle climate change without the u.s. . and. promoting arab films for an international audience will be reporting from a movie festival right here in town. and support argentinian play projects the decision to play the cop on the budget tourist final in madrid. violence at its state. now the french president flies home from the g. twenty to contend with the aftermath of violent protests in paris the capital city
5:17 am
turned into a battleground on saturday as a protest against fuel tax escalated with buildings torched and vandalized about one hundred people were injured two hundred others were arrested is david. the yellow vest rebellion once more brought the streets of central paris to a standstill balticon a tear gas and stun grenades were used by the riot police to try and disperse the protests as in a series of running confrontations. this time it was the ark to triomphe that was the focus for some of the fiercest clashes the iconic symbol of france occupied and defying the country's laws. we had the arab spring and now we are getting there european winter. as the day drew on the violence in the surrounding avenues so police vehicles and cars being taught
5:18 am
soon even buildings set alight it was meant to be a peaceful protest a small minority carried out the attacks the rest were demanding the resignation of president macro a yellow test the failure will continue not on into the night but into the next week once again could actually become a real threat politically to president might cause administration from a platform in argentina though he had a defiant message for them open goes. no cause just defies that security forces that attack shops. private buildings set on fire by the s three s or journalists threatened or that the end of the trail of sally at. the protests were even violent than last week's demonstrations there were more arrests and more injuries it seems that all chance of reconciliation any time soon david j.
5:19 am
to al-jazeera paris negotiators from two hundred countries are gathering in poland for the latest global conference on climate change they hope to agree on details of the paris climate deal that was made in twenty fifteen but in the chain since then especially after president trump pulled the u.s. out of the agreement and since then the world's continue to experience a sequence of extraordinary weather events isn't a clock thousands of scientists politicians and leaders of industry meet in poland but perhaps the most important climate conference there's ever been the challenge to unite on how to implement the paris agreement of two thousand and fifteen which aims to shift the world away from fossil fuels and to limit the rise in global temperatures to between one and a half degrees celsius and two degrees celsius that agreement is jus to come into force in less than two years time in twenty twenty but a report from the united nations shows that the world is completely off track heading instead towards three degrees celsius and that is twice the recommended
5:20 am
rate of warming and as this year has proven time is on no one side. you know well currently one degree celsius warmer than pre-industrial times the fingerprints of climate change and its human impact becoming increasingly apparent. and not just in the developing world. the worst wildfires in california history last month led to multiple deaths and extraordinary destruction they had. demonic plants is the only way i can put it it's like our eyes are gone you know our lives everything we have is gone now more and bigger wildfires are predicted around the world as temperatures increase. right now in afghanistan drought is tightening its stranglehold thousands of families have lost everything there are reports of children being sold off to pay off debt will buy food. across the world drought will worsen with increasing famine as heat waves strengthen the. living seas have
5:21 am
led to more ferocious hurrican cyclons forming over the world's oceans and when they hit land from florida to the philippines the effects are catastrophic especially as rising sea levels mean even more destructive storm surges. ice sheets are retreating ecosystems are under pressure. and all the while greenhouse gas emissions have reached record levels at a time when scientists say they need to be radically reducing. these impacts. maybe increase as we go toward one hundred five degrees and further increase for two degrees so what one point five degrees allows us to keep the rate of change at the number that makes these intakes more manageable for society as this is devastation in the united states comes as a u.s. government report projects losses to the u.s. economy and future decades hundreds of billions of dollars every year one man
5:22 am
disagrees i don't believe in hell no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. is this is no time for inaction. failure to act means more disasters in the emergencies and their pollution that could cost the global economy as much as twenty one three million u.s. dollars by twenty fifty. since those euphoric scenes in paris three years ago there's been plenty of backsliding on national promises to reduce c o two emissions there is now a tremendous gap between what's required and what's being done and experts say that path leads to widespread poverty and global insecurity the gap these to close in poland over the next fortnight now the un report warns will pass a temperature rise of one of the half degrees celsius within twelve years unless countries slash their emissions by five times their planned amount and that will
5:23 am
impact hundreds of millions of people on every continent on the globe exacerbating the risk of drought floods extreme heat and poverty those who know the silence they say the urgency of this climate conference in poland cannot be overstated mexico's new president has been sworn in beginning his six year term in office and rest manual lopez obrador has also been formally anointed leader by indigenous groups at a ceremony in mexico city a new president has pledged to end centrism poverty and marginalisation for more than seventeen communities throughout the country it's the first time a mexican president has ever taken part in a ceremonial inauguration of this kind of video also known as i'm low on the presidential race in july when there were fifty percent of the vote. m.p.'s voting for tomorrow i start by informing you that we have introduced a bill to make corruption a serious crime because unbelievable as it may sound it was not to serious crime not only. in
5:24 am
keeping with my conviction and my powers. i promise to not steal and not allow anyone to take advantage of the position for john holdren joins us live now from mexico city john so president lopez obrador has some big challenges facing him but can he deliver on those promises. exactly but you could probably hear that the party's still going on behind us but the new president has now left he's got to start getting on with governing maybe the biggest challenge that he faces is the violence in mexico has been going on obviously the years now but the third a great killer is the worst on record now some kind of bring in our course to tell us a little bit more about that he's their security expert trial race and want to start with this was the violence so much worse at the moment what's going on in the car
5:25 am
well they just want to show the basic activities from work and i find that very government is set to hit a record high during twenty eighteen and act according to various estimates probably eighteen twenty five percent of all buy in america is in the country are actually budget you are going to be spying so this goes on to show the fragmentation of a large organization and we know again it's a shift into various groups throughout the territory so this so called about any station organized crime or says add various accuracy challenges for the authorities and they are battling now criminal groups and maybe on various fronts and there is money well lopez obrador has really put out the baghdad security plan that surprises people nurturing the federal police with the army and and navy. under the control of the armed who says what do you make of this new security well any of his presidential campaign and of one of us that are mentioned that creation or his plans to create a national guard which incorporates exactly what he when you sat that africom pain
5:26 am
at bats he softened his rhetoric on security and he talked about institutional mechanisms to car to come out organized criminal activities but now the assessment that his team seems to have made is that in order to you could produce a favorable results on the security grounds in the short term a hardline security strategy is required but there are at various risks associated with it is more pragmatic is that the security of the risk the are associated and the fact that you're militarizing the security strategy instead of pursuing for example a nice week or is. it strengthening institutions and the rule of law by pursuing this hard security strategy there is there are ways of for example human rights violations which have been the case when involving horses for example or going to be forces during both the administration the go and they don't so there are these risks société when but using the army and the navy for public security task given
5:27 am
that they are not trained they say to you for public security task as the police and thank you very much for being with us to do something that's a little bit about the security strategy from london as much of the lopez obrador a lot of analysts including of water that we've talked to a site that in the end you're going to needs a professionalized the mexican police to be have to do their job so efficient they look it's over the world hasn't spoken about the us of this time around so i'd like to you our thoughts on home and mexico city john thank you. time but a short break here al-jazeera when we come back donald trump puts aside political differences joining tributes to former u.s. president george h.w. bush after his death at the age of ninety four. and the world marks the thirtieth anniversary of world aids day the epidemic has killed thirty five million people but of all the sports humans for born in south africa gets a boost up the national team plays in the africa cup of nations final and done

hit squad are facing the death penalty in saudi arabia for the murder six others a charge with related offenses although western intelligence agencies believe all the evidence circumstantial and otherwise points to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman as the architect of the killing some diplomats believe he has got away with it was executing. people who are. killed. while they have done and the other. seven or a six remaining six there will be watchful religion and they will close the case turkey and the rest of the world is shocked by the barbarity of the murder president recep tayyip erdogan and turkey's government has leaked details of audio recordings from inside the consulate before joining and after the killing

investigators revealed phone calls made to riyadh with one of the hit squad saying tell the boss the deed is done without stating his name the turks have made it obvious. yes the boss is mohammed bin sound man but turkey's options are limited by a lack of saudi cooperation and a lack of will from the international community the saudis are using the vienna convention on diplomatic immunity is as reasons not to hand over the suspects to turkey no nor state give her own state for foreign investigation so the issue here is is this really think so definitely. will come to an end in turkey you should make this issue to international level because the nation the investigation. will be added and that is the only way this case can be investigated fairly and openly but turkey's government mindful of its situation regarding human rights and treatment of some of its own citizens
5:35 am
is reluctant to call for a un investigation and western governments seemed disinterested as could be seen at the g twenty summit in argentina some politicians have short memories and forgiving natures when it comes to trade deals it now seems likely that the real culprit behind this crime is going to get away with it and that the murder of your market shortly will become a paragraph in history in a bloody region and that's a sad indictment not only of saudi arabia but also of the international community which is that by and watched i'm done nothing tony burke the al-jazeera istanbul the white house has announced that a state funeral will be held next wednesday for former u.s. president george h.w. bush who has died at the age of ninety four donald trump says he'll send his official jet air force one to texas to bring the casket to washington bush sr's thailand office was defined by the end of the cold war and the beginning of a new war in the gulf particle hain looks back at his life. five months ago said
