on the northern flank some rain there up towards new york pushing up into new england that will make its way away as we go on into monday disguised gradually coming back behind. the weather sponsored by cat time and race. this is al jazeera. maria and this is the news from al-jazeera france's president visits the signs of violent protests in paris and says government considers imposing a state of emergency also in the news the u.s. and china are agreeing not to impose new towers for now as they work to resolve a trade dispute and a call for action in poland with close to two hundred countries amazing i made
4:01 pm
warnings about the impact of climate change. and i'm leah harding with this while there keeps his w.b.c. heavyweight title actress fight with tyson period end in a draw we'll have all the reaction coming up in the next hour. so the french government is considering a state of emergency following a third weekend of nationwide protests over the rising fuel prices president emanuel respect from the g twenty summit in argentina for an emergency meeting with his cabinet this included the prime minister but philip who canceled his trip to the global climate change summit in poland earlier micron headed out into the center of the city trying to assess the damage from saturday's protests he thanked firefighters and the security forces for maintaining order as the french capital descended into chaos for hours thousands of demonstrators wearing the yellow vests angry about rising living costs calling for the president's resignation some of
4:02 pm
them turned violent torching cars and even vandalizing to tree and more than four hundred people were arrested and at least one hundred thirty others were injured so let's get the latest with david schaper has been covering the protests in paris very very different scene behind you today david bring us up to up to speed. kemal we're still waiting for the results all of the crisis cabinet meeting which is taking place at the moment in the least say pollies one of the options on the table and certainly one is that they will renew the state of emergency here to deal with this crisis but i think that is unlikely what we have here is a dilemma for president mccraw and his administration because on the one side you have a legitimate protest a by the yellow vest movement saying that the the reforms and the price hikes in
4:03 pm
fuel prices are falling on steadily on people in the countryside and the poor and even governing ministers have said that they have legitimate things to say and they want to open a dialogue with them but it's a very amorphous movement arranged by social media there are no particular leaders like the trade union protests that we've seen here against president michel so who are they going to talk to and also the fact that in the in the end what we saw last night was not the coolest by the majority of the other best rebels it was actually caused by extreme groups on the left in the riots and the atticus taking advantage infiltrates you know protest simply by putting on these yellow vests and causing a huge amount of damage sort of damage and a number of arrests that we haven't seen here since the days of may nine hundred sixty eight so what can the government do it really is very tough for them at but i
4:04 pm
must say come all the dates gaining traction one hundred thirty six thousand yellow vests to protest this took parts in blockades around the whole of france and that means it's beginning to gain traction traction against the policies of president marc grown at all against the styles. all presidents go on just to add one thing that early this morning sunday morning was another fatality the talented that we've seen a jury needs here the best protests and that was down in the south of france in allah two in the morning large blockade had caused a road block stretching back several kilometers and a van ran into the back of a heavy good spirit go and then was hit by the car behind it so the dead the lot to sort out for this cabinet had to be very important what those decisions are and we expect to hear them in the next hour or so with the idea of
4:05 pm
a state of emergency being conceded david what would that actually amount. well the state of emergency was dropped so off to the the black friday terrorist attacks here in paris and essentially what they did was put a lot of those measures into the actual law of drugs so it's very hard to see with such such measures already being inside the legislation process of what extra they can do so i think this is the problem this is probably why is taking so long that that emergency cabinet session to decide exactly what they can do but i mean essentially what is going to happen come all is that this is going to continue yet again next saturday next weekend they'll be calls on social media to gather here and i think what we'll see are special measures from the police to make sure they protect this iconic. texture that they are and that will be one of the things that we'll certainly see next weekend but as i say it's dilemma for the government here
4:06 pm
because really the emergency is for them and not for the rest of frogs david we'll check in with you again later david chase her on from the uk to triumph and paris but this anger about the rising fuel taxes actually spilled into french overseas territories places like the indian ocean island of reunion yellow vest protesters there also demanding president michael step down as more from the capital sundanese . well protests have slowed across reunion people are continuing to gather here in santa near the government folding and that's ahead of an address by the french minister of territories overseas i need done this is an opportunity the people here say to have their demands heard the minister has visited reunion at the height of these protests to quell this public discontent and she had made some indication that there would be some measures put into place to deal with the issues in reunion
4:07 pm
and those specifically around high unemployment especially amongst the youth there's a sixty percent unemployment rate and also the high cost of living people here say these issues need to be addressed they don't have time they don't have the three months that the ministers all sitting for they say they want their demands heard now also on the agenda of the people here is the french president emmanuel micron very much as been as has been heard in paris people want him to resign they say that their issues their demands in the cost have been ignored and it's only once he's gone that take the haps movie listen to. other news and donald trump has agreed to delay increasing his trade tariffs on chinese imports at least for the next ninety days the u.s. and chinese presidents met at the g. twenty summit on saturday in argentina and said they will use the time to try to resolve their differences the u.s. was planning to boost tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods
4:08 pm
for next year china has agreed to buy what's described as a very substantial amount of american farm energy and industrial goods more from china correspondent adrian brown in beijing. well the governments of both china and the united states are putting a positive spin on the outcome of these talks but this is not a deal it is a truce a temporary cease fire because the white house is still warning that if after the ninety day period there is still no agreement between china and the united states on their many trade issues then the united states will impose tariffs on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods that's on top of terrorists that already apply to two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods now the chinese foreign minister wang ye has says that he hopes there could be more exchanges and visits between the two sides just before the talks president xi jinping said he was very happy to be meeting president donald trump and the best
4:09 pm
option for china and the united states was cooperation but there remains a fundamental areas of disagreement between these two sides especially in the area of forced technology transfer and the fact that the united states says that u.s. companies that want to do business here in china have to enter into fifty fifty joint venture arrangements and then hand over their know how the united states is saying that has to stop there is one area though i think where president xi jinping is unlikely to yield and that concerns his industrial policy known as made in china twenty twenty five this is his aim to make china a world leader in technologies of the future things like artificial intelligence and robotics but the united states is saying that china will do this by heavily subsidizing the companies involved and it says that has to stop president xi jinping has maintained that it won't. political economist for the playground is
4:10 pm
with us now from london a former special advisor to the director general world trade organization actually nice to have you with us. the general consensus seems to be that this is a good thing it is a truce rather than an actual deal does it actually achieve something or does it just buy a bit of time. but it's certainly good news though i think it's not even a truce it's poles in the planned escalation of the trade for from the first of january to around the first of march and the question of course is whether negotiations with a national space of time can produce results that satisfy the u.s. administration i think the easy stuff would be for china to agree to buy more of our american products that it wants to buy anyway so things like soybeans oil and gas buying planes it would also be willing to make concessions on
4:11 pm
reforms that it wants to do anyway like open up its financial sector it might even make some commitments on intellectual property theft that those things would be hard to enforce what is completely non-negotiable is the subsidies and other measures that it is using as part of its major twenty made in china twenty twenty five industrial strategy which is essential in the view of the chinese government to its future development which the u.s. trade is just the objects to so then those first things that you mentioned those first sort of rounds of concessions which china might do. they won't be enough if they would all come in that would that not be enough for the united states as you say there is stuff which china clearly want. well i mean it remains to be seeing. how tough a line president trump is going to want to take he might be of
4:12 pm
a bind to declare victory with only symbolic concessions like he did with north korea i think it's more likely that he has a broader agenda here and you've seen for example vice president pence declaring that this is a new age of strategic rivalry that you know that china is a technological and military development needs to be contained that it is basically a threat to u.s. interests and that kind of broader geo political rivalry that zero nature makes it i think much harder to reach an economic deal that's what it sort of seems to come down to in the end it is that the political idea of the u.s. trying to stall maybe not even the u.s. the trumpet ministration trying to stop china becoming more powerful than it already is. absolutely and you know if if there is a russian also this is the u.s. thinks that at least for now it's ahead of the u.s.
4:13 pm
is the head of china economically militarily and if it doesn't act now to try and stop that development china will potentially overtake it or which case it will no longer be able to do so clearly china is willing to make economic concessions it isn't willing to stymie its own development let alone allow the u.s. to stop its submergence as a typical superpower lou grant a pleasure talking to you thank you for your time today. here's what's coming up for you on this news hour why israeli police are recommending a bringing charges against prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife. the radical change promised by mexico's first leftist president in decades. and in sport the trying to run has become the first n.b.a. team to win twenty games this season leo will be here to tell you about the latest try.
4:14 pm
the g. twenty summit in argentina close with all leaders except the united states agreeing to support the paris accord on fighting climate change and they all reached a consensus to fix the world trading system as well after a difficult all night talks argentina's president the host of the summit was calling for free trade in an open world. we agreed to modernize the world trade organization to do away with certain restrictions and red tape to try to have a more simple dispute settlement mechanism there is widespread agreement that when you have a conflict you waste a lot of time and it's really undermines the whole process no one doubts that trade leads to development on climate there has also been of agreement to accelerate the process of cop starting in poland next week there will be a good opportunity to increase and enhance our goals and make sure they are met
4:15 pm
with more on this now from a latin america editor list c n human reporting from. the leaders of the world's most powerful economies and emerging economies were able to actually sign an agreement at the end of the g. twenty meeting here in when the slightest which in of itself is considered a major accomplishment it's really a sign of the times going into this meeting very few people thought that that was going to be possible but in the end they did find common ground on some key issues for example all the leaders believe that it's necessary to look into reforming the w t o or the world trade organization which they believe is no longer really meeting its purpose or its mandate there was language on women's rights on labor reforms of a whole array of other issues in which they did see eye to eye on the very thorny issue of climate change they reached a kind of compromise remember last year president donald trump stormed out of the out of the g.
4:16 pm
twenty meeting in hamburg saying that he was not willing to sign any kind of agreement in which climate change was described as irreversible this time nineteen of the leaders said that they would do that that they would continue to support the paris climate agreement and donald trump had a paragraph of his own or rather the united states had a paragraph of its own in which it said that it did not agree with that and it underscored the fact that it had withdrawn from the paris agreement in the end also there was the leadership of argentina's president. who desperately needed some good news especially considering this country's a staunch or very very severe economic crisis unlike also hamburg last year everything went peacefully there were protests out on the streets but not a tear gas canister was shot and that is certainly good news for ticket really after a meeting of leaders who still after all this do not see eye eye to. envoys
4:17 pm
from almost two hundred countries are gathering in poland for the cop twenty four summit hoping to agree on policies to address climate change the paris agreement back in twenty fifteen was supposed to hold average temperature increases to do less than one and a half degrees celsius but the us has since withdrawn from that to be a leading to concerns about its viability and in the meantime the world has continued to experience more and more extreme weather events that clarke has more 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 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
4:18 pm
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 plans 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
4:19 pm
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 of 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
4:20 pm
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 losses 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
4:21 pm
countries slash their emissions by five times their planned amount and that will 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 suns they say the urgency of this climate conference in poland cannot be overstated and as those countries made it in poland people are gathering in belgium to demand action from governments around the world they want them to reach those goals set out in the paris agreement. and thousands of opposition supporters in georgia reproach testing against what they're calling election fraud i say rigging helps the ruling parties. bailey win states presidential runoff with all my sixty percent of the votes. israeli police say they have enough evidence to charge prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife with accepting bribes they're accused of
4:22 pm
fraud and breach of trust in dealings with israel's largest telecoms operator netanyahu denies any wrongdoing in this and two other cases against him the police have already recommended indicting those in yahoo of allegations of accepting gifts from billionaire friends and receiving positive coverage from a newspaper in return for favorable legislation let's check in with the name for more on this one natasha as we say third time that police have recommended charges against the prime minister what's happening with this case overall. well come on as you mentioned it appears that the legal woes for prime minister benjamin netanyahu are mounting in this wide ranging corruption investigation that has plagued him and his wife since last year on sunday the police recommended for a third time that he be indicted in this case it involves netanyahu allegedly working with an israeli company it's called bezique telecom and agreeing
4:23 pm
to dole out regulatory favors in exchange for favorable coverage of him and his wife on a website that the company controlled in february police also recommended he be indicted on two other corruption cases one that he allegedly accepted almost three hundred thousand dollars in bribes from wealthy israeli businessman as you alluded to earlier and to that he in an attempt to solidify additional positive coverage of himself in israel's largest newspaper promised to help curtail circulation at one of its rivals as he has from the onset netanyahu has responded to this third recommendation by the police with a rebuke he's saying that there is no legal basis for these political i'm sorry for these police recommendations and that nothing will materialize from this investigation later on this evening he's expected to make some comments during
4:24 pm
a hanukkah candle lighting ceremony it's not expected that he'll say anything revolutionary beyond what he has made clear from the onset which is that he believes rather he believes that this is a witch hunt and he is innocent it's important to note come out in the broader scheme of things these are simply recommendations by the police only the attorney general has the ability to hand out an indictment and as this investigation has been dragging on since last year that could take months. how does a woman mean this is all business dealings how does all of this affects or could it affect him politically natasha this is a man who a couple weeks ago was struggling to hold his coalition together exactly it's been a tumultuous week out than it been for netanyahu and his cabinet last week when the defense minister avigdor lieberman resigned there were fears that his government
4:25 pm
would crumble that didn't happen instead he is now in addition to being the prime minister the defense and the foreign minister there is no likely challenger in his likud party his public opinion throughout the year despite these three recommendations has remained quite high israelis are pleased with the fact that he appears to have been successful in convincing us president donald trump to back out of the iran nuclear deal to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel and move the embassy there and let's bear in mind come out he is a seasoned and shrewd political animal he is a four term prime minister some analysts say even though elections are next november he may hold a snap election to capitalize on the goodwill of israelis but times are going to bear in with him of course national should thank you. new president of mexico has been sworn in with promises of radical change to combat corruption poverty and the drugs gang wars and to get rid of the usual presidential limousine apparently under
4:26 pm
arrest manuel lopez obrador known as is the first leftwing mexican president for more than seventy years john heilemann reports from mexico city. he sent the message even before his swearing in arriving in an old volkswagen jetta things were going to change at the third attempt under his money to a lopez obrador became an excuse president the country's first leftist leader in decades. because. he got straight to the point thirty years of free trade policies and growing privatization were out. the new liberal policies have been a disaster a calamity for the country. and to clean up would begin to seem appealing kicks butt is c. if you ask me to explain one phrase the plan of the gunman i'll say wipe out that option and unity he says the money saved from cleaning up graft will furnish and social programs. it's easy to be is that those who were waiting for
4:27 pm
a new mexico's main plaza. which now we're going to be listening to our president that's the change i voted for and why i am here it's the first time in my forty six years that i've come to this type of event. is that indigenous leaders came to after a ritual cleansing he gave the crowd what sounded more like a wish list the list speech this is fun for me so this is my promise for starters first class health system for free like in canada the scandinavian countries but many analysts say that for all the promises his plans remain threadbare and the sums just don't add up how do you put together on the one hand that all the measures are going to cost a lot of money we are not going to raise taxes that's why that what the government has announced. and he says that everybody is going to everything is going to be paid off by cutting corruption but corruption and cutting corruption it's not only
4:28 pm
a matter of political will it's a matter of a construct in effect of his decisions and so far in the measures that he has announced there is no need to these are now building in as a priority of the new government it's a common criticism to his supporters his would is enough for now is a lot of hope mr lopez obrador won by a landslide but there's also a desperation for change more than forty percent of mexicans are poor the murder rate is the worst on record and people are tired of the seemingly never ending corruption. he makes just a bit of headway on those issues for many it could be enough john heilemann al-jazeera and its crew city. time to check on the weather with everton looks messy in the states it may seem as it did for just trying to think of a way to just sum it up and i think they say you got it bang on the back on the head let's take a look what's going on we got this plant angry looking swirl of clouds across the

4:36 pm
summit in argentina the saudi crown prince appeared isolated early on as speculation mounted about his alleged involvement in the killing but as alan fischer reports day two at the summit was quite different. the saudi crown prince has had a busy day too at the g. twenty he met 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 could you elaborate on your comments when you said that the current prince gave an unbelievable explanation when discussing the death of jamal khashoggi you know. when i say unbelievable i mean the following he said that unless the crime is proven you cannot play i'm sorry arabia that was the statement and of course what he said may be valid from
4:37 pm
a legal point of view but we actually talked of by the evidence proving the crime his own official said this was a planned operation the canadian prime minister said he also raised the murder 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 of. 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 at a port 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
4:38 pm
the newspaper says this led the cia a america's intelligence agency to conclude mohammed bin someone likely ordered the murder. but america's secretary of state says they still stand by the crown prince 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 saudi crown prince was never going to be ignored or shunned i think gathering of the world's twenty largest economies there are diplomatic niceties to be observed 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. now iran isn't saying whether it's actually test fired a ballistic missile but the country's navy has launched what it says is
4:39 pm
a new type of radar evading destroying the u.s. secretaries that might be on pay as the missile launch violates a u.n. security council resolution tehran though says its missile program is defensive not offensive and doesn't breach international rules everyone is on that with more from washington. in a release put out by secretary of state mike pompei oh iran has launched a ballistic missile and by a lation of a u.n. security council band now very little details were put out by the state department for example exactly when this alleged missile launch took place and exactly where however the state department is saying that it was a medium range ballistic missile capable of carrying multiple warheads with a range where it could reach parts of europe and all of the middle east according to the state department that would be in violation of u.n. security council ban two two three one which you bans iran from undertaking any
4:40 pm
activity related to a ballistic missiles designated to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons including launches using such ballistic missile technology and now according to the state department iran's ballistic missile testing is actually on the increase and the state department is asking iran to halt all ballistic missile tests immediately this is all part of washington's increased rhetoric in recent weeks against iran we've seen this over the past couple weeks and this is also part of a big reason why the united states has not punish saudi arabia more forcefully for its role role in the killing of jamal khashoggi and also the war in yemen is because washington is saying they need saudi arabia to counter what. they call is the iran threat of course iran is saying they're not any threat at all but this is again is all part of the increased rhetoric we've seen out of
