al jazeera. where every. president has the head of the cia will brief u.s. senators on what she knows about the murder of the saudi journalist jamal. hello and welcome you're watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here and also ahead after more than fifty years as part of opec catalyst calling it quits leaving the oil cartel in a bid to focus on gas. in just to see fighters are evacuated from yemen raising

hopes for talks to end the war. and pressure intensifies on the u.k. prime minister to resign made to overturn authorization to have like a week before parliament votes on. the director of the u.s. central intelligence agency is to brief senate leaders on the killing of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the head of the senate foreign relations committee bob corker says gina housefull will speak about the murder on tuesday she did not take part in a trumpet ministration briefing on the death of last week john hendren now from washington. cia director gina haskell will speak to members of the u.s. senate about the murder of jamal khashoggi that is after she did not appear last week when the secretary of state and secretary of defense held a closed door briefing with members of the senate several members of the senate

afterwards republicans and democrats alike said they were unsatisfied and an persuaded by what they heard in that room afterward madison pompei oh that is jim that is the defense secretary and mike pompei of the secretary of state came out and said there was no smoking gun that links the crown prince of saudi arabia mohammed bin some on to the killing of chris shoji that is despite reports that the cia has concluded with a high level of confidence that the crown prince did in fact order that killing so members of the senate were dissatisfied they said they wanted to hear from tina haskell the cia director who actually flew to is ten ball and listened to the tapes of that killing that the turkish government provided so they believe she will have more information and that she will be more frank with them so they passed a measure that would lead to a vote later on invoking the war powers act that would allow the senate to cut off u.s. aid to the saudi war in yemen that would be an extreme step and it's very far from

being ultimately passed but the threat of that seems to be what is motivating the trumpet ministration to make haskell available to speak to members of the senate that is likely to be a closed door briefing as the briefing was last week but members of the senate and administration officials are likely to speak about it afterwards so i think we are likely to know what was said in that room well the fullness cia officer glenn call says he's not expecting any big revelations from gina housefull. since the report has leaked some i think that she will speak clearly to that and i don't expect that she would go any further than anything that we know she'll never reveal in a briefing like this the sources or or the methods which she will reveal the substance the main point here is that this you can look at this two ways it's the trump administration just as our colleague in washington proved an excellent

briefing said it's the proper ministration backing water or or trying to get out from some of the pressure that it is now under from the congress and it is congress's effort to reassert its part prerogatives that's that's really the news here with trump's continuing to try to carry the water for him have been some if trump can bury it he will clearly what he's doing is trying to relieve the pressure on him from congress with gestures. his standard pattern is to say to deny and then to make a cosmetic change or backing down to tout that and to change the subject and then to move on so he will do what he can to maintain his. shockingly intimate relationship in solomon while congress may pressure him son some more but the advantage in foreign policy always rests with the executive cats or is quitting the

oil exporting group opec saying it wants to expand its position as the world's top exporter of liquefied natural gas the government says the move will allow it to concentrate on increasing gas exports from seventy seven million tons a year to one hundred ten million tons a year is a summer binge of eight. the world's largest supplier of liquefied natural gas is leaving the biggest oil cartel after being an opec member for more than fifty years but are says the strategic change is needed for its long term ambitions to produce more natural gas or announced a decision as the oil producing nations is due to meet on thursday in vienna. opec's expected to cut oil output amid falling oil prices but there is one of opec smallest oil producers its main commodity is natural gas but the world's third largest reserves tensions between qatar and opec's largest producer saudi arabia suddenly increased and the saudis imposed a land sea and air blockade seventeen months ago but the government ministers say

leaving opec is not politically motivated i don't want to politicize it i'm a very practical engineer i have been running kewpie for a long time where i do business is really practical so we look at you know what is the value and. you know i like to focus on efficiency is always and i think it's inefficient to focus on something that's not your business and something this is not going to benefit you long term so for me to put effort and resources and time. in an organization that i'm a very small player and doesn't have don't have. you know seeing what happens in that organization. does not work it's not been a great year for opec its largest members such as saudi arabia ramped up production while others have carried out cuts meaning the worst compliance by members in years opec is a bit like a family and it has all the good aspects of

a family the closeness but it also has the best aspects of a family which means the squabbles that all if i can family is they all squabble and you all are sad when one of the cozzens think the sides to break rank but his departure comes as both houses in the us have introduced and the opec bills the so-called no pick bill has gained traction after the trumpet ministrations increased hostility towards opec if passed the legislation would pave the way for opec members to be sued for operating a monopoly as relations between saudi arabia and russia have improved iran iraq and venezuela have found it difficult to abide by opec decisions but there isn't the first country to leave opec but it is the first from the middle east raising questions about whether others could follow some of the job aid how does their. dozens of wounded hussein fight says have now arrived in oman after being flown from yemen for medical treatment the planned evacuation was one of the conditions the rebels laid out to the saudi coalition ahead of talks in sweeping on weapons

to help find a political solution we should always have cautious optimism because i think that the first results that we would we would have to look at is whether or not the peace talks take place we will expect some sort of resolution between the who thesis and the united nations and the saudis over whether the u.n. will take over to management of the port there who died the un's envoy martin griffiths has just arrived in sa not to escort the negotiators to sweden he's hoping to arrange for ceasefire in the port city of her data the entry point for most aid to yemen gryphus is also hoping to reopen the sun the airport securing a prisoner swap and negotiating for a wider truce now yemenis hope that talk of a transitional government can avert the impending famine and cholera epidemic paul chatterjee on al-jazeera last most ill to come here on al-jazeera including protests in france against high petrol prices fuel demonstrations in the country's

government's plans but before all of that happens the government could face a major hurdle a possible embarrassment for the government the opposition labor party has joined forces with other smaller parties accusing the british government of being in contempt of parliamentary protocol by failing to share all of the legal advice that the british government received from its legal advisor the attorney general geoffrey cogs when it came to coming up with its plan in its entirety what does the government even need to share this information with parliament well because m.p.'s voted overwhelmingly to demand that the government do precisely that to allow m.p.'s to make the right decision when it comes to the vote next week but only one of the day the attorney general made a very rare appearance here at parliament defending his actions in not sharing all of this information with employees because he said that there was some very sensitive information in that advice that that was not in the public interest he

fiercely defended his actions in front of m.p.'s here. i am convinced that in order to disclose any advice that mine to be given would be fundamentally contrary to the interests of this country. it's no use. i'm shutting our members are busy but what i am trying to. read. anybody's time grew up. while some of the strongest opponents of to resign his deal with the e.u. are in northern ireland's democratic unionist party o d p which props up minority government that a u.p. found itself at odds with its electorate two years ago in the bronx at referendum the northern island voted overwhelmingly to stay in the e.u. these storms through pro british pro breaks that party is afraid that mrs may's

deal could split the united kingdom lawrence lees and belfast. in the process to loyalist parts of belfast their loyalty is unquestioned country first the four corners of the u.k. in divisible their problem with the brics it deal is that in theory it could leads with future trade agreements pushing northern ireland closer to the e.u. than the rest of the u.k. that in turn leads to the inconceivable thoughts that northern ireland could be unified with the republic of ireland our whole purpose of union our system and take on the link with the union we fail lots of the best interests of northern ireland long term and it is in our d.n.a. where unionists we we're british are all an irish and therefore i'm nothing that takes a side of that with the united kingdom as extremely honesty about them on circling for a large ordeal this is for good for the politicians who represent these people in

parliament of the democratic unionists by the prime minister to prop up the governments after she failed to win a mage. in last year's election they said they would support but they don't anymore they have made it plain they will vote deal down the simple message go back to brussels and try again we've tried to be very clear we will not support. shouldn't be a choice between our no day we believe that's and then make sure the interests of not just the united kingdom but also the entire of the your opinion and try to get a day what we're trying to said everybody is sensible heads should prevail this isn't good enough it's not just us it's a lot it's many many other people across other political parties as well the state doesn't get enough both sides need to get together in terms of your opinion in the united kingdom and get a sensible report. it will demonstrate starkly the mess the prime minister is in she can't even rely on politicians who are supposed to back inside her own government stories amaze us sales pitch deal with the european union is that it's

a compromise it might not be perfect but it's designed to leave the european union well bringing together a basically divided united kingdom but this constituency says it will never compromise on its core belief in the sanctity of the u.k. and it is prepared to bring down the deal. the prime minister describes herself as a unionist to the cool but she is now in a fight with her own side and they're not the kind of people to back down lawrence leigh al-jazeera belfast. leaders of the yellow vest protest in france are due to meet president emmanuel macro on tuesday angry at rising fuel prices but protests of widened into demonstrations against other foreign policies some of the worst rioting in years took place on saturday protests continued on monday when private ambulance workers blocked paris traffic david chato reports. blockaded and besieged another landmark in central paris this time the french
