places but it's what that gives us that gives us the ability to identify with the other side of the world but we can understand what it's like to have a different perspective and i think that is a strength for. this is al jazeera. hello i'm adrian finnegan and this is the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes dancing the flames the french government puts on hold the fuel tax rise that sparked widespread protests. u.s. senators will finally hear from the cia boss whose recordings of the journalist. the israeli army begins dismantling tunnels along its border with lebanon. we have

arrived. at a nasa mission gets close to an asteroid which could tell us more about the origins of the universe and. world cup star. wings. or award. ending a decade of. christiane are. the french government has announced a six month freeze on plans to increase taxes on diesel motorists a bit incensed at the prospect of paying more for the widely used fuel from next month from mr edward phillips says that a proper debate will be held on the controversy the tax aim to promote green energy but provoke nationwide protests for three successive weekends including the worst riots for years in paris on saturday the so-called yellow vest demonstrations of

since widened rallying groups who oppose falling living standards in the rising cost of living roads were blocked across the country and they've amplified calls for president a call to resign over his economic policies let's go live now to paris al-jazeera is david. is this freeze going to be enough to satisfy the demonstrators david. adrian president emmanuel macrolides finally felt the power of street protests here in france after eighteen months he's seen his pop popularity in the polls dropped at twenty three percent that's a record low the shares with. france on b. to wrong so he had to do something and he's using the prime minister eduard to leap to try and reengage with the public because he's seen exactly what happened and he must try and put out some sort of appeasement to prevent it happening again on

saturday so the prime minister gave a special statement from his office he said that no tax should to endanger. france's unity is he said the violence must stop and that you'd have to be deaf not to hear the anger of the french people but let's hear more about the actual tax suspension from the prime minister those of us who see the prism in the interest of appeasement we've taken the following measures firstly three fiscal measures were to be implemented on january first the increase of the carbon tax on petrol heating oil and diesel to push the convergence of the live of texas on diesel and petrol and finally for businesses the alignment of taxes on diesel for companies outside the transportation sector within the general fiscal framework after nearly all of the parties that i spoke with during the consultations that i held these last few days made at least the months i'm suspending these text measures for six months

david what does this mean for the president who has held firm in the face of protests until now now though he's buckled is this going to likely impact as other policies. well we've heard already from the yellow vests and they say that they're going to carry on with their protests they're going to carry on with another mass demonstration here in paris they say they will go to the seans elisi again the go go to the best deal the would go to the eiffel tower so this isn't working he's out up against the ropes but if anybody is going to be the fall guy it's going to be his prime minister that's the that's the way that the the constitution works in the fifth republic it's always the prime minister rather than the president who takes the fall but yes this is a sobering moment for president michel he has been he was saying in argentina in

the g twenty that he would stick with his reforms and the violence was unacceptable but that violence has changed the course of these reforms and the yellow vests want the complete abolition of these taxes they want changes in policies but this is getting personal it's president macro himself they seem to be aiming at and the rest of the country too they don't like his aloof autocratic style they think he's out of touch with the ordinary people and that's why they're choosing these rich areas of paris that's where all the damage is being done because they say he's a president for the rich and it's only when they damaged the rich areas that he starts to take notice and it appears they saved me right here so that's why we've us watch out for a weekend when perhaps violence will once again get the streets of paris in the on the scale that we saw it last saturday david many thanks sound as there was to have a change of their lives in paris.

the director of the cia is to brief senate leaders in washington in a few hours on the killing of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi jeana has pools absence last week from a trumpet ministration briefing on u.s. relations with saudi arabia cost control the seat leaked reports of the cia assessment say the crown prince mohammed bin solomon ordered the operation to murder his critic in istanbul two months ago let's go live now to washington to zeroes ruslan jordan is the what can we expect today from jena. adrian you can expect a lot of very tough questions of the cia director gina house spell but this is not going to be happening in public view she is going to be testifying before a number of high ranking senators behind closed doors so that

a stance of lee she can speak freely about what she heard on the audiotapes when she went to istanbul and ankara in november as the ministration was starting its investigation into jamal khashoggi is murder household was not at last week's senate hearing senate briefing i should say where the secretaries of state and of defense were talking to senators about jamal khashoggi as murder and that angered both republicans and democrats on the committee they believe that the white house had ordered house ball and other intelligence officials to not show up at the briefing which of course goes against congress' right to question anyone within the executive branch including the intelligence community about what they're doing what they know with whom they're talking what their plans are how much money they want to spend all of these things falling under the category of oversight so of course

immediately after hassles nonappearance at this secret briefing last week the senate passed a measure first round passage sixty three to thirty seven that would pressure saudi arabia to stop its involvement in the civil war in yemen and so because of this it is now thought that the white house is basically stepping aside allowing housefull to go before these high ranking senators in an effort to try to stop the senate opposition to the u.s. the support for saudi arabia in the yemeni civil war it's a little complicated but that's really the crux of what's happening here if it's happening behind closed doors as you say ross how the likes of you and i and anyone watching going to find out what gina asked fools as had to say. well adrian this is washington and let's face it washington is full of people who have

information and who gain political currency by leaking that information particularly to the press it's worth pointing out that after the hearing last week with secretaries of state pompei own defense jim mattis the cia been spoke to a couple of very well trusted and well placed national security reporters indicating that in their report they're highly classified report that they had a very high likelihood of assuming that it was the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solemn on who ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi because he was considered a threat to the saudi kingdom now even though the report indicated that there was no quote smoking gun no one hundred percent piece of evidence that proved that the order came from mohammed been solemn on to have murdered the analysis that was

released to these reporters indicated that it was pretty difficult to assume that this murder was carried out with out the knowledge of muhammad been solid money that was being seen here in washington as the intelligence community trying to push forward the idea that in its view that the saudi kingdom in this case mohammed bin solomon was behind the murder and that directly contradicts what the u.s. president donald trump has been saying about this case he essentially has been shrugging his shoulders and saying who knows who's responsible for this maybe the people who killed the jamal khashoggi had gone rogue were doing this without the authority or without the knowledge of those in power in riyadh but the perception is that after this latest conclusion from the cia. leaked to the press was that the cia wants to make it plain that it knows what it knows regardless of what the

president wants to say and you can expect that in light of that report being leaked that the senators are very curious to find out whether gina house will in fact will indorse for them those findings and certainly if they don't come to the cameras and say what they are able to say without violating the classification the process then they will certainly get it out through intermediaries to the press runs many thanks i was there as roselyn join them live in washington the u.n. is warning that the civil war in yemen could further deterioration in the new year leaving more than eighteen million people in need of food aid the comment was made by the head of the world food program david beasley who says that yemenis are now experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis since the united nations was formed at the end of the second world war a saudi embassy coalition has been fighting huth the rebels in the country since twenty fifteen this is not a country on the brink of catastrophe this is

a country that is in a catastrophe and we're seeing the severe hunger rate spike from eight million to twelve million the number of food and secure people those eight to twelve are the people that are on the brink of starvation these are people just going to bed hungry these are people who don't know where the next bills coming from. this the general food insecurity those you are going to bed hungry is risen up to about eighty ninety million people out of twenty nine million people in the united nations is appealing for billions of dollars to cope with humanitarian crises worldwide next year nearly twenty five billion is needed in order largest single amount required is four billion dollars for war relief in yemen the u.n. some urgency relief coordinator says that one hundred thirty two million people

worldwide need humanitarian assistance such as food shelter health care and protection one in every seventy people is caught up in some kind of crisis in the average length of how long each crisis last is now nearly doubled from five years to nine the u.n. says that conflicts will remain the main course of humanitarian needs next year not having enough to eat is a major concern particularly in places like yemen syria the democratic republic of congo and south sudan mark local case the un's under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs and emergency relief coordinator he says a record amount of money was raised this year to fund humanitarian programs but it's still not enough. well this report the global humanitarian overview which i'm launching today is the waste or thirty of sophisticated and comprehensive assessment of need how we can respond and the money we will aim to raise

where it's going to come from is the general citizens and countries around the world who are not caught up in these crises and the good news is that in twenty eighty mm we've raised a record amount of money more than fourteen billion dollars so far towards the meeting all the needs that we have what we're finding is that as we improve the quality of our assessment of need as we improve our response plans we can raise more resources this year more than ten percent more than last year this is the news hour from al jazeera still to come on the program a legal battle in sri lanka as the country struggles with an escalating political crisis. no way into the united states asylum seekers stuck in mexico are growing increasingly desperate. and in sports the los angeles clippers continue to fly high in the n.b.a. and he will be here with that of the rest of the sport a little later.

this really army has begun destroying tunnels under the border with lebanon israeli commanders say that the aim is to stop cross border attacks by hezbollah fighters into northern israel israel's been boosting defenses along an eleven kilometer stretch of the border for the past three years natasha can name reports from western. this is the first operation of its kind we've seen along the northern border targeting has a loss since two thousand and six that's when israel and hezbollah off a month long war and since then there's been a kind of tense detente israel is saying the existence of these tunnels is a violation of a un resolution agreed upon at that time prohibiting has the law from operating near the border and amassing weapons operation north shield as it's been dubbed by the israeli military began last evening they've been destroying the tunnels building walls and rock barriers in an attempt to thwart any kind of attack from

hezbollah in lebanon into israel and israeli military spokesman says we see the hezbollah activities as a flagrant and blatant violation of israeli authority so the question is what might happen next will has respond it's important to note that these activities by the israeli military are confined to israeli territory and that's why it's believed that this will not escalate further in addition hezbollah as attention and resources have been diverted in the last several years due to its participation in the war in syria which likely makes it loath to want any kind of military confrontation with israel last evening prime minister benjamin netanyahu traveled to brussels to meet with u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o to alert him to this operation and also to discuss

what they call quote iran's aggression and this operation comes literally on the heels of some domestic troubles that netanyahu is having here in israel on sunday for the third time this year police have recommended that he be indicted as part of a wide ranging corruption investigation that has plagued him and his wife since last year some analysts are saying this on. aeration could be a way to divert attention away from that the u.k. could cancel briggs's and they could do it without the consent of other e.u. member states that's what the advocate general of the european court of justice has told the e.u.'s highest court in while in london m.p.'s are preparing to debates the prime minister's plan for leaving the block a proposal is expected to be put to a vote later this month let's go live now to london i was here as the team is outside the house of parliament before they get to that debate on the prime minister's deal the team they are going to decide whether. the government violated

parliamentary rules. what are the chances of that happening and why does it matter . will age and there seems to be a very strong chance of it happening and people are extremely angry about what's happened here in parliament the all of the the opposition parties here in the house of commons on monday together with these amazing allies the d u p the northern irish party wanted this debate on tuesday and the vote they say that the government has basically broken its own promise which came in november in a resolution here that it would publish the full legal advice over to reason may's deal with on monday the attorney general the government's chief legal officer unusually was taking questions directly from m.p.'s he released a forty three page summary of his legal advice but he's been sticking to his guns

that it's not in the public interest to release the full legal advice and now on tuesday to resume a has told his met her cabinet spokesman says that she told ministers the government has taken extraordinary steps to keep parliament involved parliament doesn't think that those steps are nearly enough and it's very possible that in the next few hours there will be a decision by parliament that the government. was in contempt of parliament and that could see the attorney general himself suspended that will be another not for to resume a ahead of next tuesday's meaningful vote on these deal every vote will count in that and it's also delaying the start of five days of debate on the deal which was supposed to get under way round about now people are starting to speculate will that vote even take place on time so lots of uncertainty and what's the significance of that advice given to the european court of justice by the advocate general earlier on tuesday that said that the u.k.

could if it wanted to say that it's just not leaving the european union. well if your stories are may it doesn't matter she's come out in the last couple of hours and said but this does not change the u.k. government's approach that it will not revoke article fifty which sets in motion those two years of negotiations but we've just been speaking to a member of parliament a member of the scottish national party who's involved in taking that case she's very happy she says that it's almost certain the e.c.g. the european court of justice will actually follow that opinion saying that the u.k. can you know a lot surely reverse course and not people like her but people like her it does raise the prospect of either a general election or what they call a people's vote leading to a decision with a popular mandate to actually stop that's what's crucial it perhaps will change

some wavering minds here in westminster if there are any people who are listening over the next five days who might have been persuaded that well it can't happen anyway this ruling if it comes would suggest yes it can happen if you come back to us and possibly if you need more time. the idea is that those other member states in the you would be prepared to extend article fifty beyond march to give the u.k. parliament time to get either a vote or a general election in motion that the many thanks indeed the debugger there live in westminster where some of the strongest opponents of the briggs a deal come from northern ireland's democratic unionist party that's supposed to be the party that's in a loose coalition with prime minister to resign may's conservatives but it now says that her agreement could spark the breakup of the united kingdom to serious lawrence lee reports from belfast. in the process to loyalist possibile fast their

loyalty is unquestioned country first the four corners of the u.k. in divisible their problem with the brics it deal is. inferi it could lead to a future trade agreements pushing northern ireland closer to the e.u. than the rest of the u.k. that's in turn leads to the inconceivable fool that northern ireland could be unified with the republic of ireland our whole purpose of your new house from entry 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. i wear your new us three we are british we're all an artist and therefore i'm nothing the texas side of the outlook for the united kingdom as extremely honesty about it on staff working for a much more delicious 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 majority 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 try to be very clear we will not support a certain be a choice between a bad day are no day we believe that's in the mitchell interest 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 set everybody is sensible head should prevail this isn't good enough it's not just us saying that it's many many other people across other political parties as well the state isn't good enough both sides need to get together in terms of your opinion in the united kingdom and get a sensible day in the works for both of us. it will demonstrate starkly the mess the prime minister is in even politicians who are supposed to back inside their own government. sales pitch deal with the european union is that it's a compromise. but it's designed to leave the european union while bringing together a basically divided united kingdom but this constituency says it will never

compromise on its belief in the sanctity of the u.k. and it is prepared to bring down the deal. the prime minister describes as a unionist to the core 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. the governor of the bank of england is warning of the potential for a severe economic downturn in the event of a no deal briggs's mark carney says that it could cause more damage to the economy than the global financial crisis of two thousand and eight that could mean an economic contraction of eight percent in the months after briggs's a twenty five percent drop in the pound and a thirty three percent crash in property prices but he stressed that that's a worst case scenario and he's backing the prime minister's breakthrough plan he says the british financial system is well placed to withstand a shock but uncertainty is affecting business the bank of england is predicting

five thousand financial sector jobs will be lost by march the sector currently employs more than three hundred thousand people in london. you know tail risk is terrorist so it's low probability that all of these events would happen at the same time so because it is not just a question of the formal trade barriers that come into play tariffs. product standards rules of origin those but also shorter term disruptions in terms of you know port infrastructure other which just tickle disruptions but also a fairly severe financial market reaction and a shock to call that is at the same time. as faith is the spokesman for the financial sense of frankfurt he joins us now live from kuwait city good to have you with us is london going to lose its status as the world's foremost financial center because of briggs's the cli antonis know

london will remain one of the warrants leading financial center what did we lose in the blues apos porting rights in the e.u. twenty seven and as such in we know to lose the business to serve athens financial center for the european union ok if it's not going to lose its status as the foremost financial center of the world why are so many u.k. businesses quitting for places like frankfurt and dublin. who will because as it stands as a as a member of the european union you do have possible rights those rights allow you to sell financial products throughout the entire union and because britain is leaving it we lose those passports rights that means the banks will have to set up additional operations in the e.u. of twenty seven and that's what they doing we know of seventy seven banks that made the decision to move that european operations over onto the continent thirty of

which decided on to frankfurt as they knew had quarters and we did a little bit of a calculation a couple of days ago and really see and expect between seven hundred fifty to eight hundred billion euro or roughly nine hundred billion u.s. dollars of assets to be moved from london onto frankfurt what do you make of mark carney as assessment that the u.k. economy can weather the storm if briggs it goes ahead how long will it take for the u.k. to recover would it ever fully recover at the brig's it is right when they say that britain ultimately will be more prosperous outside the e.u. . who will john maynard keynes once said in the long run we're all there and so it has to be a very long run because clearly as it's standard practice it is neither good for the european union noise is good for the u.k. at least sets what we see the way we see it in germany so makani certainly is right

but he also pointed out that he said these are the worst case scenario the worst case scenario means that the contract as it's been signed will not be ratified we all hope we're not sure about it but we all hope it will pass the prettiest parliament and when it passes the damage will be limited however if it will not pass and we will have found that then the most likely scenario we'll have a very hard practice it and then the damage is certainly being considerable could still see so many thanks indeed for being with us about his faith is in kuwait city . supposed to be summer in the southern hemisphere or getting very close to it but it's cold in argentina at the moment is tough to tell us we're supposed to be hot at this time of year nobody told the weather so let's see what's going on them because it's a has been very cold temperatures in one is ari's at this time of year normally don't drop below around eighteen degrees that's the average but recently they've

been going to a low as ninety degrees all thanks to this weather system that's pushed its way northward and behind that it's been really quite chilly it's a situation that normally we see quite a lot of juries september but at the moment in the summer we'd expect just to have quite benign weather and quite hot weather as well so this is what's happening at the moment you got this little circulation just off the coast and that's continuing to drag the winds up from the south so it's still pretty chilly in what is always at the moment and elsewhere in the province over when as always we actually had a frost over the past few days it really has been very cold twenty three degrees would be the maximum on choose day today then normally we get to around twenty eight degrees at this time of year so we know that far off that it's knowing they would it really is feeling quite cool and that cool weather is going to stay with this because this area of low pressure is only moving away very slowly and as it tracks its way eastwards the winds continue to flow out from the south bringing in that cooler fresh air so all the time then we're looking at a top temperature in buenos aires around twenty three or twenty four degrees and

a low temperature at the moment around thirteen so really quite cold at the moment and no chance of that letting up anytime soon if you. stuff many thanks still ahead here on the ports in a storm reopening the russian navy at least partially lifts its blockade on two harbors in ukraine but for how long. ethnic cleansing or genocide why language when investigating crimes committed against the. we'll hear from the greek athletes facing a financial hit all the way to sporting success. right

again adrian for going to hear into how with the news out from al-jazeera our top story is the french government has announced a six month freeze on plans to increase taxes on diesel motorists have been incensed at the prospect paying more for the widely used fuel from next month from us at what philip says that a proper debate will be held on the controversy. the director of the cia is due to brief us senate leaders in washington in a few hours on the killing of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi gina has caused controversy last week when she missed a trumpet ministrations briefing on u.s. relations with saudi arabia. and the israeli army is starting to destroy tunnels under the border with lebanon israeli commanders say the aim is to prevent cross border attacks by hezbollah fighters in northern israel. the russian navy has temporarily lifted its blockade on two ports in ukraine ships awaiting to enter the

port stared on bus where ukraine's army has four russian backed groups it's in the disputed crimea region which washing troops and extreme ukraine four years ago tension escalated last week. russian warships opened fire and captured twenty four crew on three ukrainian navy boats in the crisis is expected to be discussed at a meeting of nato foreign ministers in brussels natasha but is there for us to tasha what are we expecting today. when they turn foreign ministers actually begun their meeting and we had an open room opening remarks a short while ago from the un stoltenberg the secretary general of nato and really his message is that the alliance is going to be looking for real a deescalation of this crisis between russia and ukraine stoltenberg repeating remarks we've heard from nato over the past a few hours that russia must hand back the ukrainian ships and crew that it sees

and that both sides must calm tensions and find some way out of this i'm against altenburg very certain that this is the message that the response that nato will come out with at the end as he meets with his with the foreign ministers here let's listen to what he said a bit of. a nato provides a strong political support on strong practical support to ukraine ukraine is not a nato member but we strongly support ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. we also call on russia to. release the sailors on the ships they have. detained or seized and nato allies will also continue to help to modernize and strengthen the ukrainian armed forces so natascha nato is condemning russian aggression but what sort of action or response could the alliance take.

on his ousted prime minister. promising that within a week that all of this political turmoil would be sorted for. people and for all of the country everyone is hoping that that might be true but it's a difficult thing to believe security forces are searching for thirty one construction workers they suspect have been abducted found two of them wounded but alive. to bridge project in a remote part of our province on sunday all construction work has been halted in the region until it's deemed safe to restart. who has been battling into the sea and rule for nearly fifty years. reports from jakarta. the incident took place in one of the most remote parts of indonesia in the highlands of pop why there is no road access and no phone signal in that area a group of soldiers and police have been hiking for hours and they have yet to

reach a location where the suspected killings have taken place they have now reached an army base where they found four wounded people with gunshot wounds two of them were workers from the construction company they have been working on this transfer of one highway which is a project going to current government of president joe credo don't want to bring some welfare to one of the poorest regions of indonesia but people in power who are among them these independents fight to see that as a symbol of more control from indonesia over what they called is occupied territory and they have been basically fighting for independence for more than fifty years every year on december first they commemorate the fact that in one thousand nine hundred sixty one day to clear their own independence from the dutch colonizers but soon after the indonesian forces basically took control over power every year deceleration also goes along with raising the morningstar flag their independence

flag and in the past people have been arrested and jailed for long periods of time because of all these activities what exactly has happened in the past week and in the highlands is still unclear but one version is that one of the workers two photos of these are independent fighters and then an argument broke out but we still have to get more details about exactly the chronology of these events as soon as the group of soldiers and police will arrive at the area the independence movement especially the armed independence movement is relatively small this group is seen as or around of only consisting of around forty people but there are some orders also active in the area a much larger part is armed resistance against in. occupation which is still active in this fight are for the body indonesian government to bring more while for the give more autonomy to that region for many many years this

independence movement is still there mexico's new president says that slowing the flow of asylum seekers towards his northern border with the united states is a key priority it's become a growing crisis for the region more than eight thousand asylum seekers are now camped close to the u.s. border most of them have walked all the way from honduras from the border city of tijuana how did your castro reports. the fence is three meters tall the american soldiers on the other side carry guns some central americans have made it across and are waiting to be picked up and ask for asylum. but back at the migrants shelter in t. wanna deal knows what it's like to try and fail she's been through all of this before she says in two thousand and thirteen gang members burned down her house in honduras she fled to the u.s. where she was detained for more than a year as she waited for an answer to her asylum claim. that it is that they didn't

give me asylum they the port took me to under arrest but i couldn't stay there because the gang the burnt my house was still looking for me. so she mediately left again and for the last five years has been living in monterrey mexico where she cleans houses. she says she joined the caravan hoping the u.s. would open its borders to a group of so many but she was wrong now she's warning first time asylum seekers do not get their hopes up you know if i tell everyone if you have your children with you maybe you have a chance but if you're an adult by yourself you will make it ok i mean. at a base camp at the foot of the u.s. border wall most people here say they would rather not try to cross the border illegally they prefer to endure the months long way it takes to submit an asylum claim at an official u.s. port of entry but as that wait grows so too does the desperation look at the

conditions especially in these two largest camps it really speaks for themselves because no one would bring their children to walk on foot for weeks at a time live under these kind of conditions where where there's garbage where there's no drainage where it's impossible to keep dry where their court if they weren't doing something that was so terrible that they had no other choice to live in the. steel and now there is only one choice she'll have to stay in mexico she's joined the long line of central americans applying for mexican work permits as they wait facing an uncertain future. castro al-jazeera t want to mexico. the body of george h.w. bush is lying in state in washington the head of his funeral on wednesday president donald trump and his wife milady up among those who have paid their respects the forty first us president died at his home in houston texas on friday at the age of
