2:03 am
was the lease a palace for an emergency cabinet session on the crisis 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 the 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 ours when a white van drove into the back of a heavy goods vehicle that was blocked at a yellow vests roadblock it was then hit by another car coming up behind it the
2:04 am
revolt against president policies and proposed fuel tax rises is not going away poll show protests have the support of more than seventy percent of the french people support for the president is languishing below thirty percent david chaytor al-jazeera paris. or anger about the rising fuel tax has spilled into french overseas territories the indian ocean island of re-union is thousands of kilometers from paris but the issues are the same for me to miller has more from capitol sending me. the french minister for the overseas territory and head and has been speaking with members of the yellow vests here union via video conference in these government voting the hundreds of supporters of the yellow vests 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 have raised a number of issues from the state of education saying that the syllabus year
2:05 am
reunion should be adapted from the french syllabus to issues around the economy the 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 hour to get back to them they're going to stay here until she responds to these mines and has something concrete to say they say otherwise the protests they've been staging for the past two weeks will continue even if they have to shut down the economy of the union. or thomas bristle is a professor of political science at the university of paris he explains why the protesters are so angry. it's mainly like french cities and that comes from the let's say lower middle classes and who come from the suburbs on more precise yessing like the smaller size or middle size cities in france and it's people who
2:06 am
are a couple of decades ago were told like to go and settled in the suburbs or outside like major cities are done towns because they could not afford to pay the ransom or their own and recently like this saw subsidies appearing at this schools hospital closing up and they have to use their cars basically that to access these disabilities and so now i think that when the government intends to raise the taxes on fuel it was not only something that was an economy car cost it was also something that was like a very harsh symbolically sort of scene. i think where the problem lies in the five that it's a very unorganized grassroots some of our political movements you don't have any spokesperson for the movement on the few people who tended to present himself as a book person aware somehow or like incapable of actually talking to the government so because there is nobody that he can actually talk to is trying like to put the
2:07 am
parties the trade unions that is to say like morpheus of actors back in the play in the game it's kind of difficult again because like this movement is very unorganized. the new release private messages of journalists from our fresh l.g. are revealing a candid account of his take on the saudi crown prince c.n.n. gained access to exchanges between saudi between. and the and the montreal based activists they had planned an online a movement that would hold the saudi state to account for shoji called mohammed bin sandman a beast who would devour all in his past it was one of four. hundred whatsapp messages a year before his murder. reportedly conceived plans to form an l.a. tronic army to engage young saudis back home and debunk state propaganda the
2:08 am
digital offensive was dubbed the cyber bees they discuss creating a portal to document human rights abuses in saudi arabia and gallagher is following that story of force from washington d.c. so andy what more do these messages reveal. well i think they really reveal that jamal khashoggi wasn't just a man of words he was a man so concerned with what was going on back home in saudi arabia particularly with the crown prince that he was becoming a man of action the reason they wanted to form this electronic army is because he wanted to send sim cards back to young people in saudi arabia so that they could then post on social media without being traced he promised abdulaziz thirty thousand dollars he actually sent him five thousand dollars but abdul aziz says that eventually his what messages were intercepted by the saudi arabian government by using israeli designed industrial grade spy where he says that he then was
2:09 am
trying to be courted by saudi arabian officials who were trying to get him to go inside the saudi arabian consulate in montreal where abdul aziz is based and he then says that he got some information or some advice from khashoggi which he says potentially saved his life because shockley told him do not meet these people in a public place do not meet them in a private place only in a public place he thinks that may wary well have saved his life but on the flip side of that are dollars is now believes that these messages intercepted these four hundred watts messages may be the reason that jamal khashoggi was himself killed nice as he feels a great deal of guilt about that in fact at one point when abdel aziz tells you mark of the things that these messages have been intercepted by the saudi arabian government jamal khashoggi simply replies god help us. all right andy gallagher live for us there in washington thanks ed. george. is the c.e.o. of gulf state analytics he joins us via skype now from mountainview in california
2:10 am
thanks very much for being with us so what's your take on these messages then. i think these messages tell us that jamal has showed you how to irrelative realistic understanding of the pain to do it you know had been so money in his regime will go to silence dissent the very realistic when he. was describing the de facto ruler of saudi arabia in the these electronic messages exchanged with the canada based activists unfortunately he made a miscalculation about going into the saudi consulate in istanbul but he certainly understood that the a regime of m.b.'s was likely set on targeting him or other critics of the regime outside of the kingdom and what more does it reveal
2:11 am
particularly at this time two months on from the investigation about. his his state of mind his his fears for what was what was happening in his country i believe he genuinely loved his country but eurabia but had grave concerns about the direction in which the kingdom has been heading with mohamed been some on at the helm you know there's been so much discussion in recent weeks about specific issues where he believed that m.b.a.'s was misguided when they were talking about the war of yemen in aspects of internal reforms the blockade of cars or so on and so forth but this really confirms the fact that he saw mohamed bin some on himself really as the problem and an obstacle to a brighter future for saudi arabia. all right good to speaking of thanks very much for being with us giorgio. thank you.
2:12 am
all right plenty more ahead on the news hour more legal troubles for israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife. and later as for liverpool get a late win against their city rivals everton but their manager's reaction could land him in trouble we'll be here with more later. act now all risk disaster that is the message from leaders of previous u.n. climate talks at the start of the latest summit in poland delegates from nearly two hundred nations have two weeks to agree on details of the twenty fifteen paris climate accord a rulebook must be set by all the states that have ratified the parish feel the u.s. is not one of them the president of the u.n. general assembly says the situation is now critical when we started with the climate convention in ninety five it's as if we were planning for the future and we
2:13 am
we were preventing a you know a dark future on time but now we are leaving it so we have to act and act quickly we cannot leave out of the two without having in hand a very bold and strong and clear roadmap for the implementation of the bars agreement but perhaps with greater ambition and commitment because it's needed. i would global temperatures rise in the need to find a common ground is even more urgent need clark explains. 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 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
2:14 am
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 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
2:15 am
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. 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
2:16 am
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 disagrees i don't believe in hell no i don't believe it believe it or not the science says. as this is no time for inaction. failure to act means more disasters 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
2:17 am
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 of thousands of people have marched in brussels calling for governments around the world to do more to tackle climate change the rally passed the european commission headquarters belgium's prime minister charles mish shell called it a formidable success and promised to defend the ambitious climate targets a wendell trio is the director of the climate action network europe he says the summit needs to give each country more direct action to follow. in order to get clarity on what countries exactly can do they need to have of clarity on what they
2:18 am
can expect others to do one of those examples is the issue of climate finance and financial support that is being given by rich countries to poorer countries and poorer countries are asking that they get clarity about how much of that money will be flowing their way in the next five to ten years and that will be helping them do makes this glance similar the countries have not really on how they will monitor what they are doing in terms of greenhouse gas emission reductions and as long as that is not clear there is some reluctance to really start with strong implementation i think the world is looking at both the european union and the chinese republic to really data leads all these issues and do we deem the un body that is theirs and yet that for these international climate negotiations which is the framework convention on climate change. and it depends on
2:19 am
these two countries to really come together to make substantial progress in the us former f.b.i. director james comey has agreed to testify in private about the agency's decisions ahead of the twenty six thousand presidential election comey says this is the closest he can get to public testimony about hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server as well as russian interference alexander has more from washington. the issue was that james komi wanted any testimony in front of the house judiciary committee to be public but the jimmy just sheer committee did not want that they wanted all of his testimony to be behind closed doors and this was a key central issue to both sides were fighting about let's remember that what the republicans on the judiciary committee wanted to do is question komi about what they say was deeply rooted bias in the f.b.i. when komi lead the lead that organization bias that they say allowed clinton
2:20 am
hillary clinton to escape prosecution for use of a private server private e-mail server they also want to question me about f.b.i. investigation into the trump campaign's alleged ties to russia as well now komi said i'm willing to testify but i want it to be public because he says that if it would have been behind closed doors republicans would have just selectively selectively leaked his testimony to make him look bad now congressman jerry nadler a democrat from new york agreed with call me on that this is what he said on n.b.c.'s sunday morning. the republicans in this particular investigation have a history of having these these in camera interviews and then selectively leaking portion is the of the interview to give distorted view to the public of what happened let komi testify in public there's nothing there's no military secrets
2:21 am
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 goodloe so called me is testimony to the house judiciary committee will happen on friday and the agreement that has been worked out is that the transcript of that testimony will be able to really be released to the public that's exactly what komi wanted from the very get go now let's remember there are still a lot of bad blood between donald trump who fire james called me in may of two thousand and seven as the head of the f.b.i. and republicans is a very partisan deal that's going on right now republicans on the house judiciary committee want to question call me he feels in just their ongoing attempt to try to discredit him this is a campaign by the republicans and donald trump to discredit call me a man that they say did not lead the f.b.i. and good faith of course he's come out hitting back at donald trump there's
2:22 am
a lot of bad blood between these two men well bill schneider is a public policy professor at george mason university and he joins us now from washington thanks so much for being with us so how does testimony as you see it fit into the broader picture of the whole investigation into alleged russian meddling in the in the twenty six thousand presidential election. well we really don't know because we don't know what he's going to say the republicans originally subpoenaed him to force him to testify and he was going to bring a lawsuit to try to get out of that instead he's dropped the lawsuit with the agreement of the judge and said that he's made the deal with the republicans on the committee to make his testimony eventually public he said this is as close as he can get to public testimony he's he is of course concerned as we just heard about partisanship that the republicans on the committee they are in charge of the committee only for the next few weeks the democrats will take over in january but
2:23 am
he's worried that the republicans will spin what he says for partisan purposes because there's a lot of bad blood as you heard between him and donald trump and also his relationship with hillary clinton was not all that positive. it is unlikely to to move anything on a toll from. the whole investigation over hillary clinton e-mail messages which is something that trump and his supporters in congress want to want to pursue what we just don't know we don't know what is going to say we don't know where this is leading in the case case of hillary clinton but i can tell you that in the twenty sixth election the campaign about a week before election day he indicated that he had found a new source of e-mails private e-mails that hillary clinton had sent out and then he had to inspect them to see if there was anything damaging or incriminating this really was met with a lot of consternation on the part of the clinton campaign and the democrats what
2:24 am
was he trying to do to her and then shortly before the election he announced that they had looked at these e-mails and there was nothing there nothing to take action on and that produced an angry at reaction from republicans who said he's covering up for hillary clinton this is all intensely partisan and is that intense partisanship as you call it likely to worsen with the new congress taking their seats in january. i would suspect so because it would be a democratic house a republican controlled senate and of course donald trump in the white house everything in washington is now partisan and the f.b.i. investigation of the russian the possible russian collusion in two thousand and sixteen and the hillary clinton e-mails those are the two issues that are most likely to trigger an intense partisan reaction so you can bet that this will be part of it but in the end what's likely to matter here isn't this particular testimony from mr comey but the miller investigation and what he's going to report
2:25 am
once he delivers his report that's what washington is waiting for or i could to get your thoughts on this as always bill schneider joining us there from washington thanks very much. still ahead on al-jazeera thousands of opposition supporters filled the streets of the georgian capital protesting the results of the presidential election there. changing lives from outer space with the help of a russian company and the international space station. and install a multi pole moment causes chaos on the page in the dutch media will be here later this news. out of the star has been falling thick and fast in wyoming

2:29 am
thousands of people have marched in brussels calling for urgent action on climate change they were protesting as envoys from around two hundred nations gathered in poland for a climate summit. and exchange of electronic messages appears to show the extent of g.'s fear saudi crown prince and mohammed bin men c.n.n. gained access to more than four hundred watts messages but the saudi journalist and activist almost. planned an online movement that would hold the saudi state to account. for two months on from murder tony but looks back now at how the investigation has unfolded so far. 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 from knowing what happened inside this building on october the second despite the
2:30 am
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 continuing 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 with it was executing five. people are.
2:31 am
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 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
2:32 am
turkey no nor state you her own citizens are in a state for foreign investigation so the issue here is this really think it's so different. than will come to an end in turkey but you should make this issue to international level because the nation the investigation. will be a dead and that is the only way this case can be investigated fairly and openly but turkey's government mindful of the situation regarding human rights and treatment of some of its own citizens is reluctant to call for 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
2:33 am
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 crown prince has left mauritania after a short visit and touched down in algeria earlier mohammed bin man was greeted by president mohammed. in the mauritanian capital new york show his presence sparked demonstrations linked to his alleged involvement in. a number of algerian intellectuals journalists and politicians and religious leaders signed a statement against his visit have been protests against the crown prince during several stops of his overseas tour more now from. the from north. he has been received by mauritania president mohamed will and they had some talks are the airport and then they went to the palace we don't

2:35 am
u.s. democratic senator ben cardin a says america needs to strike a balance between holding those responsible for her show g.'s murder accountable and maintaining a strong relationship with riyadh. 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 to 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 can't go unchallenged israeli police say they have enough
