away polls show protests as 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 over 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 the miller has more from raynaud's capital send the need. the french minister for the overseas territory and head and has been speaking with members of the elevator sciri union via video conference in lee's government boding 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
3:05 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 lines 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 reunion. of thomas broussard 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
3:06 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 and they have to use their cars basically that to access these disabilities and so now i think that's when the government intends to raise the taxes on fuel and it was not only something that was an economical cost it was also something that was like a very harsh symbolically sort of saying. i think one of 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 movements on the few people who tended to present himself as such spokesperson where 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 parties the trade unions that is to say like morpheus of actors back in
3:07 am
the play in the game it's kind of difficult again because like this movement is very unorganized. a new released private messages of journalists are revealing a candid account of his take on the saudi crown prince c.n.n. gained access to exchanges between saudi journalists general shoji and the montreal based activist they had planned an online movement that would hold the saudi state to account. called mohammed bin salmen a beast who would devour all in his path it was one of four hundred one. messages a year before his murder. and. reportedly conceived plans to form an electronic army to engage young saudis back home and debunk state propaganda digital offensive was dubbed the cyber bees they talked about creating

a portal to document human rights abuses in saudi arabia and he gallagher is following the story for us from washington andy what more do these messages tell us about. what he was planning to do. well they tell us that he wasn't just a man of words that he was a man in fact so concerned with what was going on in saudi arabia and in particular with the crown prince this consolidation of power that he wanted to take action and action involved sending sim cards back to young people in saudi arabia so that they could then use social media to express their own freedoms and their own views without being traced in fact jamal khashoggi had promised thirty thousand dollars to abdel aziz in canada and already sent about five thousand dollars abdulaziz him self says that at some point during those conversations during those four hundred messages back and forth he realized that his phone had been tapped and broken into
3:09 am
using israeli designed spy ware and when he realized that he also was then contacted by saudi arabian officials who were trying to get him to go to the consulate in canada jamal khashoggi just gave him a piece of advice that he thinks may have saved his life telling him not to meet these people anywhere but a place that is public and on the flip side of that abdulaziz now thinks that these messages may very well be why do you market shock he was killed in october he says he feels a great deal of remorse about that but when you look at what he was trying to do going from writing articles critical of saudi arabia to actually doing something far more substantial that may very well have crossed the line for the saudi arabians and got them in trouble we don't know if these messages were intercepted by the saudi arabians about it certainly seems that if they were that corresponds a great deal of trouble and in fact when abdul aziz revealed to jamal khashoggi
3:10 am
that he thought his messages had been intercepted he simply replied god help us all right andy gallagher live for us there in washington thanks andy. israeli police say they have enough evidence to indict prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his wife on bribery charges they're accused of fraud and breach of trust in their dealings with the israel's largest telecoms operator netanyahu denies any wrongdoing the police have already recommended charging netanyahu over allegations he accepted gifts from billionaire friends and offered to pass new laws for them in exchange for positive media coverage holders show rash on the top of the police recommendations on the last day of the police commissioner tell your proves what i've been saying from day one this is a fixed game song israel is a country with the rule of law and police recommendations have no legal significance countless police recommendations are rejected the tragic on him has

3:12 am
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 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. all right still ahead on and you know when we come back thousands of opposition supporters fill the streets of the georgian capital.

3:17 am
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 universal issue 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. executing five. people who are. killed. false or two while they have done and the other.
3:18 am
seven or a six remaining six there will be watchful religion and they will close the case turkey and the rest of the world is shocked by the barbarity of the murder president recep tayyip erdogan and turkey's government has leaked details of audio recordings from inside the consulate before joining and after the killing investigators revealed phone calls made to riyadh with one of the hit squad saying tell the boss the deed is done without stating his name the turks have made it obvious. 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 investigation so the issue here is is this really think so the
3:19 am
. will come to an end in turkey 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 its situation regarding human rights and treatment of some of its own citizens is reluctant to call for a un investigation and western governments seemed disinterested as could be seen at the g twenty summit in argentina some politicians have short memories and forgiving natures when it comes to trade deals it now seems likely that the real culprit behind this crime is going to get away with it and that the murder of your market shortly will become a paragraph in history in a bloody region and that's a sad indictment not only of saudi arabia but also of the international community which is that by and watched and done nothing tony burke the al-jazeera. the

3:21 am
challenge after a congressional committee compelled him to testify gebre elizondo 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 jimmied just your 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 call me about what they say was deeply rooted bias in the f.b.i. when called me lead the lead that organization bias that they say allowed clinton 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
3:22 am
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 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 to go 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 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 words so cold means testimony to the house judiciary committee will happen on friday and the agreement that has been worked out is that the transcript
3:23 am
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 coleman is the head of the f.b.i. and republicans it's a very partisan deal that's going on right now republicans on the house judiciary committee want to question komi 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. in good faith of course he's come out he'd be hitting back at donald trump there's a lot of bad blood between these two men at 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 of two weeks to agree on details of the twenty fifteen paris
3:24 am
climate accord a rulebook must be set by all the states that have ratified the power still 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 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 cut of the two without having in hand a very bold and strong and clear roadmap for the implementation of the paris agreement but perhaps with greater ambition and commitment because it's needed when the trio is the director of the climate action network europe piece 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 can expect
3:25 am
others to do one of those examples is the issue of climate finance and financial support that is being given by rich countries to poor countries and poor 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 to make specific plans similarly the countries have not really agreed 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 take the leads all these issues and do that we deem the u.n. body that is theirs and yet that for these international climate negotiations which is the framework convention on climate change. and it depends on these two countries to really come together to make substantial progress. our several
