9:03 pm
a spokesman said reintroducing the state of emergency from earlier this year was not discussed the president called on his prime minister edward felipe to invite party members in parliament and representatives of the demonstrators for talks. the real damage was caused by what's being described by police as a handful of extremists determined to confront them and cause as much trouble as they could yellow vests rebellion is of course not just confined to the streets of paris one hundred thirty six thousand demonstrators turned out across the whole of france and there was a third fatality early on sunday morning outside the southern city of of when a white van drove into the back of a heavy good spherical that was blocked at a yellow vests roadblock it was then hit by another car coming up behind it the revolt against president policies and proposed fuel tax rises is not going away poll show protesters have the support of more than seventy percent of the french
9:04 pm
people support for the president is languishing below thirty percent david chaytor al-jazeera paris well anger about the rising fuel tanks has spilled into french overseas territories like the indian ocean island of reunion protesters there may be thousands of kilometers from paris but there are issues on the same family miller has more from reunions capital sundanese. the french minister for the overseas territory and head and has been speaking with members of the elevator sciri union via video conference in these government voting the hundreds of supporters of the elevator have gathered outside waiting for some sort of monster from the minister as to how the government is going to deal with their demands they've raised a number of issues from the state of education saying that the syllabus year reunion should be adapted from the french syllabus to issues around the economy the
9:05 pm
cost of living as well as the prices of fuel and the taxes they also want to working conditions improved as well as the minimum wage people here are saying that the minister has one zero. to get back to them they're going to stay here until she responds to these lands and has something called quick to say they say otherwise all the protests they've been staging for the past two weeks will continue even if they have to shut down the economy of reunion. earlier we spoke to dani and obama knows a member of parliament from an opposition far left party and she explained the reasons behind the unrest. it's a protest against for billions that were taken from the pockets of the poor people and were given free of anything to the richest to the wealthiest in this is a society and that's the very reason why people are onto the street people very are working people who are fed up with the discourse we have the propaganda of
9:06 pm
a government who can hear the anger of the people and who keeps going straight to the wall and pushing everybody aside not listening to the opposition to the parliament that's why the people are protesting and this is part of our tradition of egalitarian isn't and through revolutionary tradition you talk about hard working people who are fed up but the pictures we saw the images we saw from paris on saturday didn't look like hardworking people to to many people the violence during these protests has been blamed on extreme elements on both the right and left of the spectrum who are trying to sabotage it seems these demonstrations by the so-called elevators so how do you separate the legitimate demands of the yellow vests and the ana kist who want to just cos trouble of course the media are focused on the people who in paris organize those violent opposition
9:07 pm
but i think it's supported through to remind people outside that the movement has been mean for weeks now and i was for. as for me i was in the morning yesterday morning in the north of friends in vali which is not a place known for revolutionary uprising but where they were a peaceful protest against the tax reform and it gets migrant policy. the world is at a crossroads and decisive action needs to be taken to tackle the most pressing issue confronting the world climate change that's the message of four former presidents of un climate talks delegates from nearly two hundred nations are in poland for two weeks to agree on details of the twenty fifteen paris kamut accord and the need to find common ground seems even more urgent as nick explains the thousands of scientists politicians and leaders of industry meeting in poland for perhaps the most important climate conference there's ever been the challenge to unite on how
9:08 pm
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 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
9:09 pm
way i can put it was 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 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.
9:10 pm
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 nub of it 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 it now no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. this is no time for. failure to act means more disasters and 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
9:11 pm
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 meanwhile thousands of people were marching in belgium calling for action from governments around the world to release a goal set out in the paris agreement irani past the center of the european commission headquarters fail is a crime activist and former national coordinator for the campaign against climate
9:12 pm
change he says any progress on climate change is being stifled by the rise of populous politics. this conference is it's not going to come up with anything john mattick it's only the way it's set up it might come up with a set of rules if we're lucky for the for the an effective set of rules for the peris agreement but we're limited by the paris agreement itself the commitments that the nations of made not only enough to to totally combat climate change and worse than that the politics around climate change has got worse since the climate agreement i mean global politics since then has been defined pretty much by the rise of a right wing populism i mean trump in the u.s. pulls an aura in brazil so the real battlefield is not within the talks. the battlefield to affectively. come back climate change is really in
9:13 pm
a political arena outside the talks and it's finding some kind of affective response to the new. right wing populism that has hitched its wagon to a greater or lesser degree or climate denialism so we need a negative response to that donald trump has agreed to delay increasing 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 and said they'll use the time to try to resolve their differences the u.s. was planning to boost status on two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese goods from next year china has agreed to buy what's described as a very substantial amount of american farm energy and industrial goods china correspondent edgerton brown has more reaction from 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
9:14 pm
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 it can 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 first 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 force 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
9:15 pm
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 and lee is a pro-forma professor of at spec'ing university and author of why china's economy collapsed he says despite the agreement there is still a strong divide between the two countries. u.s. has wanted to contain china for quite some time over a decade already and it is manifesting in more aggressive
9:16 pm
stances with china. and so this is just a temporary preview in my opinion i think that it would be very difficult for china to meet a lot of the demands and even if they did the chinese the americans will probably come up with more things to gripe about and continue to challenge china to back down in a whole host of areas so clearly it's not just trade it's not just intellectual property and it's you know not just industrial policy either i think it's everything that includes currency policy and military security issues as well i believe the u.s. has the upper hand given that the u.s. is the world's superior military power and has the world reserve currency so those are two very important leverage is that the u.s. has against china and they can manifest in the lot of ways. plenty more ahead on
9:17 pm
this news hour including a political standoff ends in the u.s. as a former head of the f.b.i. agrees to testify before congress why israeli police are recommending bringing charges against prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife and in sport the toronto raptors become the first n.b.a. team to win twenty games this season will tell us about their latest triumph. it's two months since. she was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul tony berkeley looks back at how the investigation has unfolded so far and the continuing find for just says by her family and friends. these days they keep a part van 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
9:18 pm
from knowing what happened inside this building on october the second despite the saudi lies and deception the planning and intent family and friends are determined on bringing the man who gave the order for jamal khashoggi murder to justice the fight for justice for cheese continue and 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 ensuring 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
9:19 pm
with it was executing five. people who are. killed. false or two of 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
9:20 pm
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 or another state for foreign investigation so the issue here is is this really think so different. mr gibson will come to an end in turkey but you should make this issue to international level because the mission the investigation. 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
9:21 pm
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 saudi crown prince meanwhile has left mauritania after a short visit and he's on his way now to algeria earlier mohamed bin salman was greeted by president mohammad or abdel aziz in the mauritanian capital chant its presence was demonstrations linked his alleged involvement in a matter of in protest against the saudi crown prince or in several stops of his overseas store when afghans able bend in one chart. have their received by the mauritanian president mohamed abdel-aziz and they had some talks at the airport and then they went to the palace we don't know and still yet if they will help press
9:22 pm
conference are not all they will just have a press release. mauritanian also it is our very pleased by this visit and they welcomed the crown but we can hear some other voices that didn't welcome the press at over and we can notice for example. a press release from. the opposition party is the biggest opposition party is in. mauritania a very published a press release saying that the france is not welcome at all and that he is. doing some not both things for saudi arabia relating to images and that he is responsible from killing jamelle hush of leaks. and u.s. democratic senator ben cardin says washington needs to strike a balance between holding those responsible for murder and accountable and
9:23 pm
maintaining a strong relationship with riyadh's there is no doubt in my mind that the crown prince understood what was happening in turkey and was very much involved in that we cannot allow that type of conduct to go unchallenged our strength american foreign policy the values that we stand for and what happened in turkey just. affects all of our core beliefs the united states has to have a pretty strong position on it and we have to demand that there be accountability that does not mean we can't continue to have a strategic relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia they need america it's more important for that relationship from the from the saudis point of view and we must make it clear that that can't go unchallenged former f.b.i. director james comey has agreed to give a deposition later this week about the f.b.i.'s decision making process in the lead up to the twenty sixteen presidential election komi says this is
9:24 pm
a close as he can get to public testimony about hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server as well as russian difference in the twenty six in the lection a speech he gave that is on the in washington d.c. forest gate what exactly was the issue between komi and house republicans. the issue is this testimony and would it be behind closed doors or would it be made public komi never said that he would not testify always said that he would be happy to he just wanted it to be in the public domain have it be public and the house republicans in the subpoena. on the judiciary committee said no they wanted it behind closed doors well komi was scheduled to testify behind closed doors on monday but late last week he filed with his lawyers request with a judge to overturn that but before the judge could even rule on it the judiciary committee and komi and his lawyers did agree that he will testify next week but
9:25 pm
that he will then be able to release the transcripts of this testimony within twenty four hours now what's the key issue here the republicans have long a kook accused the f.b.i. under james called me of having deeply rooted biased in their f.b.i. investigations into clinton's use of a private e-mail server as well as f.b.i. bias and improprieties the republicans say when komi led the f.b.i. on their investigation into campaigns alleged ties to russia so this is what call me is going to be answering for macone said he did not want to testify privately because he said republicans would then selectively leak his testimony to make him look bad and that's something that jerry nadler a democratic congressman from new york said that he agreed with that it would have made komi look bad this is what he had to say on n.b.c. . the republicans in this particular investigation have a history of having these these in camera interviews and then selectively leaking
9:26 pm
portions to of the interview to to give distorted view to the public of what happened let komi testify in public there's nothing there's no military secrets here he wants to testify he ought to be able to we ought to have accountability and openness to the american public and there's no reason for the secrecy that that mr goodlatte one. so komi will be testifying this friday he will then release this testimony transcripts of it publicly this will continue the saga between republicans and donald trump and james comey let's remember that donald trump fired james called me as you have to be i direct or in may of two thousand and seventeen and there's still a lot of black bad blood between the two men thank you very much for i gave. washington i had on this. mexico's new president is sworn in and he's promising radical change for the

9:32 pm
the new liberal policies have been a disaster a calamity for the country. and to clean up would be good seem appealing expressing if you ask me to explain one phrase the plan of the gunman i'll see wipe out option and punitive he says the money saved from cleaning up graft with clinicians social programs. it's easy to be is it those who will be waiting for the next cruise 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 to get the crowd what sounded more like a wish list to the speech this is from 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
9:33 pm
sums just don't add up how do you put together on the one hand that all all the measures are going to cost a lot of money we. we're not going to raise taxes that's like that of the government has announced and he says that everybody is going to everything is going to be paid off by corruption but corruption of cutting corruption it's not only a matter of political will it's a matter of constructing effective institutions and so far in the measures that he has announced there is no use to. build in a sobriety of the new government it's a common criticism to his supporters he's wood is enough to know there's a lot of hope mr lopez obrador won't by a landslide but this one so at this bracing 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
9:34 pm
a bit of headway on those issues for many it could be a no don't hold. its crew city and in the coming hours top members of mexico's new cabinet are scheduled to meet their u.s. counterparts in washington to talk about a growing border crisis mexico's foreign minister will take part in a two day meeting with u.s. secretary of state michael impale the trumpet ministration is hoping to sign a deal that will allow fountains of central american asylum seekers to stay in mexico while their application is process in the u.s. let's speak to. one where many of those migrants have been stuck waiting to enter the united states heidi today is the new mexican president's first full day in office audience on him as a hopeful he can do something to help. of all honestly a lot of the people here are so disenchanted with government in general having tried to escape government persecution or corruption in their home countries in
9:35 pm
central america to arrive here but they are grasping for hope of any kind and they certainly are hopeful that with a lopez over. what is first few days in office that he may make a difference for them as you mentioned the mexico's new foreign minister is in d.c. today likely to meet with the u.s. counterpart mike compare to discuss this border crisis but there is a lot of fear here among the central americans that if indeed such a deal that would make them stay in mexico as their asylum cases wind through the courts in the u.s. were to take place that would mean an indefinite stay here in mexico in camps such as these it takes up to two years for an asylum case to reach a final decision and ninety percent of those cases from central america are denied they did see one hopeful signs though the asylum seekers here when yesterday lopez although as his first acts in office signed an agreement with the presidents of
9:36 pm
honduras guatemala and el salvador in which they agreed to start a fund that would generate more jobs in central america it's a positive sign for the people here but again they're still disenchanted they're not that convinced that it would make a difference and certainly that is not enough to get them to turn around after having sacrificed so much walk for more than a month to reach this point and to go home what conditions are they in where they where you are right now about where they are as they wait for their asylum to be processed. this camp is the second one that has been open this one is run by the federal government of mexico and it is much better than where they were staying during the first two or three weeks that they were in tijuana if you recall that place was awful it was partially flooded it was exposed to the elements here and you still see a lot of tents behind you because the covered space inside the building are completely full there are more than six thousand people who are here in this what
9:37 pm
used to be a concert venue event hall i mean seen the people here though they are receiving food they're getting donations are lining up for private people who bring in them clothing or other supplies and there's still a general sense of happiness to be at least for the most of them to be under and covered in closure but you're asking me this after they've only been here for two or three days what will they say when it's been two or three weeks or months and will they out stay they're welcome here and he want to those are all questions that are very troubling to the people here thank you very much for the. floors in tijuana want to speak to eric olson who's a senior adviser for the mexico institute at the wilson center. from washington thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera so how do you see andrus money as obrador is left leaning government approach the current us mexico relations. well he's
9:38 pm
a very pragmatic politician so i'm sure that he will find ways to cooperate with the united states but his priorities are to focus on domestic policy as your journalist said he's going to focus on crime. reduction and corruption in mexico and try to we orse stake out a particular and unique mexican perspective on mike gratian mexico doesn't view undocumented migration as a criminal act the way we do any united states he's trying to lave our to any humanitarian approach to migration they're looking for ways to make these migrants . work pieces and job opportunities in mexico. and he seems willing to work with the central american countries to try to find alternatives for migration as you said his priorities will be of course domestic issues and one of
9:39 pm
his key election statements was dealing with poverty in mexico what challenges that he face as he also looks at stamping down corruption. well i really sporty deep in mexico and any inequality is even greater so it's an enormous challenge that's not been addressed effectively by previous governments he says that he will try to drive investment in southern mexico where the majority or the poorest states are and most of our people live he's trying to create a mega project sometimes referred to as the marshall plan for southern mexico and central america so that they can be an engine of growth. is laid out a number of different plans to try to make it possible but obviously he's in his first day of government it's hard to know exactly what direction those things will take the what about border control i know you touched on this a little bit but what
9:40 pm
a left wing government takes strong measures to restrict migration flow towards the united states and how does donald trump view this new mexican president. well so far down trump has been. open minded said that if the pain is expressed a willingness to work with interest on the last resort or a low we also know the president trumper times. threatens to tear up trade deals and is angry an outburst against mexico so it's hard to know exactly what direction it is going to go but thankfully president trench trump is at least initially trying to. send positive signals and there is fine well but feels very strongly that mexico has to define its own born policies its own migration strategies seeks to deal with migration in a humanitarian fashion he doesn't see this as a national security issue for mexico and seeks to address the underlying drivers of
9:41 pm
my ration ravin that prohibit people from entering mexico thank you very much for speaking to us eric olson very good to get your thoughts on this thank you for joining us there from washington you're very well thank you israeli police say they have enough evidence to charge prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife with accepting bribes they're accused of fraud in breach of trust in dealings with israel's largest telecoms operator that sowed denies any wrongdoing in this and two other cases against him police have already recommended indicting him or allegations of accepting gifts from billionaire friends and receiving positive coverage from a newspaper in return for favorable legislation that's a good name has more from jerusalem. it appears the legal woes are mounting for prime minister benjamin netanyahu in this wide ranging corruption investigation that has plagued him and his wife since last year on sunday for the third time
9:42 pm
police recommended he be indicted in this case it involves an israeli company called basic telecom and police are alleging that prime minister netanyahu doled out regulatory favors in exchange for favorable coverage of him and his wife on a website that the company owns now this is the third corruption related case that israeli police believe netanyahu should be charged in in february police recommended he face indictment over allegedly accepting almost three hundred thousand dollars in bribes from wealthy businessmen and for attempting to solidify positive coverage of him in israel's biggest newspaper by promising to curtail coverage at one of its rivals in response to these allegations netanyahu has released the same statement he has from the onset he says there is no legal basis for these police recommendations and nothing will materialize from this
9:43 pm
investigation it's important to note that these are simply recommendations by the israeli police only the attorney general has the ability to indict and it could take months to do so as i mentioned this investigation has been in the works since last year now despite what appears to be mounting legal woes for netanyahu his popularity here in israel remains high according to public opinion polls thousands of opposition supporters in georgia are protesting over the results of wednesday's presidential vote saying there was widespread electoral fraud they say it helps the ruling party candidates. win the runoff vote robin force a walker has more from tbilisi. to. his main opposition party and its coalition partners holding this rally to send a message to the government that they do not recognize the results of wednesday's election which saw. an independent candidate with the backing of the governing
9:44 pm
