can producers in the long run some hope the continent could benefit from this trade war unaware of the global trade war and despite. calls rober white gold at least for now. signs of progress in a trade dispute between the u.s. and china as they agree to stop escalating the war over tariffs and as the g twenty summit wraps up turkey's president tries to keep pressure on saudi arabia over the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. hello i'm the star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up french president emanuel macron leaves the g twenty so face the off to mount a violent protests in his country and mexico's new president promises to end

centuries of poverty and marginalization among indigenous people after being sworn into office. the u.s. and china have agreed to hold off on new trade tariffs on each other after a working dinner between donald trump and she jinping on the sidelines of the g. twenty summit chinese media say the two presidents decided not to impose tariffs after january first when the u.s. was planning another two hundred billion dollars worth of levies the white house has called it a highly successful meeting shortly we'll speak to edge in brown in beijing but first you see a new human joins us from venice aires you see it this g. twenty was very much overshadowed by the jima and tensions between russia and ukraine but now it seems there were also productive trade talks between trump and she jinping tell us more. well yes the sayed least on the surface it

sounds like good news but you have to look at the fine print in fact you don't even have to go too far additionally the the white house is praising the whole thing president called it an amazing deal or a breakthrough what it calls for however is basically a moratorium on the escalation of the trade war between the world's two largest economies for the next ninety days the united states will hold off on raising tariffs on chinese products into the united states from ten percent to twenty five percent but just days while they negotiate the core dispute and that is what president donald trump calls china's predatory trading practices which include. intellectual copyright theft cyber theft cyber attacks dumping just to name a few so after those ninety days if they haven't resolved this and that is really

going to be a hard sell then they will go back to raising the terrace on chinese goods and that would escalate the tit for tat trade war that we've been seeing and which has been destabilizing the world economies now for several several months so what we have now is a truce but it has a very very short expiration date natasha thanks for that lucy and now to adrian brown in beijing adrian i see the white house is also saying they'll be immediate discussions on controversial intellectual property issues and technology transfer what's been the reaction so far out of china. well we've been getting a slow trickle of information in china's media but generally the tone is that there has been a breakthrough but let's see it for what it is this is a partial short lived agreement which is what everybody basically expected the two sides are i think going to meet again the chinese foreign minister wang ye has said that he hopes there can be further visits and exchanges in the coming weeks and of

course there will have to be if this wider dispute is going to be resolved because it's not just tariffs where the two sides have differences as also intellectual property rights technology transfer taiwan you know the south china sea north korea human rights these are all fundamental issues where big differences remain between china and the united states and it's going to take more frankly the ninety days to resolve all of that so it's possible we'll get you know a long term deal on tariffs but tariffs really isn't at the heart of the dispute between china and the united states right now in many ways it's down to what you might call technologies of the future and president xi jinping desire to make this the core of his industrial policy he wants china to be a world leader in things like robotics and artificial intelligence but the united states says that means that u.s. companies won't be able to compete you know fairly on the world stage against china

because these chinese companies receive huge subsidies and it's unequal and unfair says washington and those issues have not been resolved and really are unlikely to be hey jim brown in beijing thanks very much. the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi has overshadowed much of the g twenty summit saudi crown prince mohammed bin found none appeared isolated early on as speculation mounts about his alleged involvement in the killing box as alan fischer reports day two of the summit was quite different. the saudi crown prince has had a busy day two at the g. twenty one on one with the argentinian 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 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. did. the saudi regime first tonight as and then tried to distort facts and finally admitted to this murder turkey has adopted a very determined attitude which is help disclose the so sure we have never seen this as a political issue and she'll 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 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 ordered the martyr 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 world's twenty largest economies their 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. alan fischer al-jazeera at the g twenty and its french president emmanuel macron flies home from the g twenty to contend with the aftermath of violent protests in paris the capital city turned into a battleground on saturday as a protest against immigrants fuel tax escalated with buildings torched and vandalized about one hundred people were injured and two hundred others were arrested david schaper reports from paris. the yellow vests 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 protesters in a series of running confrontations. this time it was the arc de triomphe that was the focus for some of the fiercest clashes the iconic symbol of france occupied and defying the country's civil wars. the. we had

the arab spring and now we are getting their european winter. as the day drew on the violence in the surrounding avenues so police vehicles and cars being taught soon even buildings set alight it was meant to have been a peaceful protest a small minority carried out the attacks the rest were demanding the resignation of president micro the yellow that's the failure will continue not on into the night but into the next week once again the actually become a real threat politically to president michael's other ministrations from a platform in argentina though he had a defiant message for them you can cruise. no cause just defies that security forces attack shops public and private buildings set on fire. or journalists threatened or that the end of the trail of. the protests were even will

violent in last week's demonstrations there were more arrests and more injuries as seems little chance of reconciliation any time soon david j. to al-jazeera paris. well the next but still ahead on al-jazeera well look at whether the wild can tackle climate change without the u.s. also the u.s. mourns the death of former president george h.w. bush. hello winter in the u.s. appears to settle down to one it's like a fairly normal pattern that is must have clouded you can see but it seems he pumped up from the southeast meeting the codes or city of the plains states that usually means snow snow from wyoming to midwest the ever midwest and across the

northeast across the canadian border once again that's a pretty standard pattern but we're drawing a lot of wants upstate new york for me up to about fifteen degrees it turns to rain the snow on the ground new hampshire will probably melt or wrong turns out to plus tensas knows beyond that and it tails off back for the plains states to still some more to come for the mountains of california and the high ground down in the southwest we've had since we've seen rain there were already but i mean it was a dry picture on monday as you can see temperatures much the same the wettest bit still probably the north of florida from the south and atlanta that could see quite a lot of rain actually and that's about it if you head for the south there is a bit of cloud around but not much in the way of significant rain we go passing daily showers and lesser antilles they wanted to get out of panama as well nothing much in mexico a shower too is a possibility but really this is looking like a dry time of the year because all the action as it should be has followed the sun and it's in the middle of brazil masses of rain really from bolivia through brazil and telling off still through rio.

on counting the cost the g twenty meets in argentina one year later what's changed for zimbabweans since the fall of robert mugabe plus the blue economy making a splash in kenya. counting the cost on i just see a. man .

welcome back. a reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s. and china have agreed to deescalate their trade war president donald trump and china's xi jinping met after the g. twenty summit ended trump is canceling his plan to raise new tariffs on china on january first but existing taxes on chinese goods will stay in place as the two countries negotiate further. leaders of the g twenty managed to reach an agreement and were able to find some common ground that communique addressed issues like the future of labor and pairing women and infrastructure but also divisive topics like climate change. and turkey as president used his platform at the g twenty summit to once again focus a spotlight on the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. criticized saudi arabia's investigation into the killing and insisted that the kingdom extradite all of the suspects to turkey. as details continue to emerge two months after jamal

khashoggi has made a family and friends of the journalist continue their battle for justice tony betty takes a look back at the murder investigation and the shifting narratives of what happened on october second. these days they keep apart in front of the entrance to the saudi consulate in istanbul to stop prying eyes for the last eight weeks saudi arabia has been unable to stop the world from knowing what happened inside this building on october the second despite the saudi lies the deception the planning and intent family and friends are determined on bringing the man who gave the order for murder to justice before it flew justice for. it to continue of course. at the end until. everybody will be satisfied that justice and now i am ready for

it very fortunately now the problem the issue is initial intonation sure it's an it's a university sure now the saudis say five an amen part of the fifty man so-called 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 five. people who are. killed. also to what they have done and the other. seven or rule six remaining six there will be most for 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 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 you her own citizens are in a state for foreign investigations for the issue here is this really think so definitely investigation will come to an end in turkey. you should make bring this issue to indonesia because the mission in this to get them.

will be a date 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 is reluctant to call for a u.n. investigation and western governments seem 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 good by and watched and done nothing tony burke the al-jazeera. mexico's new president has been sworn in beginning his six year term in office on the us manual abroad or has also been formally anointed leader by indigenous groups

at a ceremony in mexico city the new president has pledged to end centuries of poverty and marginalisation for more than fed into indigenous communities throughout mexico it's the first time a mexican president has ever taken part in a ceremonial inauguration of this kind john heilemann has more from mexico city. the party continues in a scary city plaza but the country's new president andres manuel lopez obrador has gone now after his inauguration is going to start working tackling some of the country's problems perhaps of three biggest violence the country's got the lace murder rate on record right now poverty and the economy more than forty percent of mexicans are full and also corruption many in the country a tired of the continuing scandals involving the politically he gave quite an uncompromising message in the morning said that he was going to clamp down on corruption that he was going to have to wipe it out in the six years and he said

that he was going to do that primarily by leading from the front by his personal example critics of his will say that's not enough of a plan really and he needs to he needs to really expand on that and how he's going to use institutions even so he said that he had a security plan and that security plan came as quite a surprise to many people in mexico it involves merging the federal police with the army and the navy under the control of the armed forces especially human rights groups say that that could be a problem the armed forces are already being used on the ground in mexico and of really been accused to various different human rights abuses but apart from those the details of his president say this is quite a historic day in mexico it's a person left this president for more than three decades in the country and he says that he's going to be changing the country's direction from pursuing free trade

policies and privatization to going towards social programs public sector workers and as we mentioned trying to lower corruption and make sure that means more money is available for those social programs he says is not going to raise taxes. it is promised a lot that we could fix you in which we try to carry out those promises. negotiator says from two hundred countries a 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 a lot has changed since then especially after president trump decided to pull the u.s. out of the agreement and since then the wilds continue to experience a sequence of extraordinary weather events here's nick clegg thousands of scientists politicians and leaders of industry meeting in poland 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 of the half degrees celsius and two degrees celsius that agreement is judah coming to falls 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 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 or buy food. across the world drought will worsen with increasing famine as heat waves strengthen. the living seas have led to more ferocious hurrican cyclons forming over the world's oceans and when they hit land from florida to the philippines the effects a 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 is 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 in future decades hundreds of billions of dollars every year one man disagrees i don't believe in hell no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. this is no time for. failure to act means more these are says of 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 impact hundreds of millions of people in every continent on the globe exacerbating the risk of drought floods extreme heat and poverty those who know the sun's they say the urgency of this climate conference in poland cannot be overstated the white house has announced that a state funeral will be held next wednesday for former u.s. president george h.w. bush has died at the age of ninety four don't trump says he'll send his official jet to air force one to texas to transport the former president's casket to washington bush sr was the forty first president from one thousand nine hundred

eighty nine to one nine hundred ninety three and his time in office was defined by the end of the cold war and the gulf war. doctors without borders says there's been a dramatic increase in sexual violence against women and girls in the northern region of south sudan m.s.f. says one hundred twenty five women survived violent sexual attacks in ten days in november that's a huge spike considering there were one hundred four such crimes reported in the feste ten months of this year some of the victims were as young as ten years old and they were not only violently raped but also whips clubbed with sticks and rifles and robbed the organization is calling for action to protect and provide humanitarian relief to children women and men in what it calls a ravaged region mitchell sangma is a medical coordinator with doctors without borders in south sudan he says the number of victims is unprecedented. even unfolding right now invented telling

a reporter conti. it's very disturbing it's very horrific like what you mentioned that over the last past few weeks our. came in better town has been very busy providing a much needed medical attention and psychosocial care for the woman and girls aloud what has the report that was between nineteen to twenty nine of november the number was one twenty five but in the last two days we have seen another thirty two survivors that have. that we have received in our clinic invented town so numbers just on president it that many of you mentioned that many of them where. they were also beaten and robbed and they were all the vulnerable position that they process where they can and in many cases in many cases the story is just very horrible in many cases that you have children witnessing the rape of their mother and of their

family members and many cases have been reported. having a multiple perpetrators and many have have been raped multiple times. the story just coming out it's very disturbing we understand from what has been described that it's a large group of aggressive assailants are collapsing and assaulting women and girls what we know is that this is still in our arm mass majority is in civilian clothing and only fuels we're wearing camouflage clothing or wearing uniforms and most of those attacks happen outside of the bend to the town so there has been. in many cases it has been reported that attack happened when the woman. were going back to their village outside of the town of their receiving their humanitarian aid like food gratian so i think that some criminal elements are trying to take

advantage of this movement or the woman. the world health organization warns a drug resistant strain of h i.v. is emerging as a threat in some developing countries including zimbabwe and a cash shortage that means some patients can't get the important medicines they need. explains 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 has. learnt about. it even the most. famous and. tracks. some private hospitals and pharmacies want customers to pay in the u.s.
