it is our parakeet you see this beautiful beach but behind it is something that's not so plentiful tragedy is that people are just not aware and ecological investigation into a global emergency sound was on al-jazeera. you know after nearly all of the parties that i spoke with during the consultations that i held these last few days made these demands i'm suspending these text messages for a six month a victory for the so-called yellow vest protest as in france the controversial fuel tax that sparked violent nationwide protests is on hold. hello i'm adrian said again this is al jazeera live from doha also coming out breaks it could still be shut down that's the opinion of the advocate general of

the european court of justice plus. we also call on russia to. release the sailors on they towed to man's freedom for ukrainian crew members captured by moscow's military. and the israeli army begins dismantling tunnels along its border with lebanon. the french government announced a six month freeze on plans to increase taxes on diesel fuel motorists opponents sends to the prospect of paying more for the widely used fuel starting next month prime minister edward phillipe says a proper debate will be held on the controversy the tax aims to promote green energy but provoke nationwide protests for three successive weekends including the worst riots for years in paris on saturday the yellow vest demonstrations have

since widened rallying groups who oppose falling living standards on the rising cost of living roads were blocked across the country and they've amplified calls for president about you and a clone to resign over his economic policies let's go live to paris david chase is there is this suspension david going to be enough to satisfy the yellow vest protesters. david made it already clear that they wanted an abolition and the suspension is not an abolition it just delays the pain which they're already suffering so essentially what happened was that president emmanuel mccraw has stayed aloof in the elisei and he said that he agreed with whatever his prime minister ever felipa said so it was a prime minister who is eating humble pie he is the man that's had to take the

strain and the heat and try and diffuse the situation he has acknowledged the the protesters anger he has as said that he is hearing them and it is actually an extraordinary statement from the prime minister and it's meant to change the whole course of this debate but will it let's hear what he said. was a man for more than three weeks tens of thousands of french people have been expressing their anger on roundabouts tollgates in your shopping areas in the streets of many french towns this anger has deep roots it's been brewing for a while it often stayed quiet out of price today it is being expressed with force and in a collective way one has to be deaf or blind not to see it or hear it. president kranz hoping that this will mean an end to the protests an end to the violence but the yellow vests think that this is the beginning of the end for president

macron himself it's him who's become the main target of these protests they are still going ahead and there's going to be another day of protests on saturday this time they'll be aiming at to the best deal area maybe up to trample again come under pressure and deliberately choosing rich areas because they say mackerel is the president of the rich now we've just seen his ratings fall in the latest perry match poll twenty three percent that's the lowest rating that any president has had eighteen months in to his term and he shares that position of course with francois hollande his plea to her who only reached out at the end of his term so this is a huge mountain for a president michael to climb and i still think that he'll be feeling the heat very much of the weekend but because of the constitutional arrangements here if another day of violence happens next weekend there will be the case that the fall guy the

man who will actually take the strain and maybe have to resign will be the prime minister and not present macron but no doubt this is really damage him david many thanks indeed i was there as david chase are there live in paris. the u.k. can cancel briggs's and it can do it without the consent of other e.u. member states that's what the advocate general at the european court of justice has told the e.u.'s highest court at a lot of m.p.'s have begun the debates on prime minister sarees amaze plan to leave the block of proposals expected to be put to a vote later this month and also discussing if the government has violated parliamentary rules by failing to publish the full legal advice that it's been given on breaks and let's go live now to london al-jazeera snotty and barbara is outside the houses of parliament what's the significance of this advice given by the advocate general to the european court of justice on iran tuesday.

it is just a device but in most cases that advice is actually followed with a ruling. taking that direction by the european court of justice and it really is quite clear according to that advice that if the u.k. wanted to revoke article fifty the process by which it informs the that it wants to leave then the u.k. could do that you know actually it would not need the agreement of the twenty seven other member states now in the advice of the the advocate did say that any revocation if it were to happen if britain did decide that that it wanted that to happen would have to come within the two year time period which started in twenty seventeen of course there's this deadline of march the twenty ninth yet next year when britain is set to leave the european union but one of the

members of parliament who's from that cross party group of scottish politicians who brought this case at the european court of justice told me just in the last hour or so that she believes that this could happen and if we needed more time certainly the goodwill on the other side. it would have to happen within that two year period need to get an extension of article fifty and i think it's generally understood that the other member states would be prepared to grant us an extension not to faff it by with more meaningless negotiations but to either hold a second vote or a general election and i'm confident. have an extension for the definite purpose and a day as far as this debate on contempt in parliament what is the chance of parliament ruling that the government did violate parliamentary rules and why does it matter. légion it's actually looking very likely it's very very unusual but there's

a lot of strong feeling just in the last five minutes a senior conservative party from ceres a maze own party conservative politician from to resume his party has said that the process isn't powers in parliament can often lead to injustices no monday all of the opposition parties including the northern irish d u p hours have to resign make in theory said that they wanted a vote right now on whether parliament whether the government had basically negs on a promise in november to publish the full legal advice from the attorney general over this brett deal the attorney general geoffrey cox himself on said questions here in parliament on monday but it wasn't enough for many people he's issued a summary in which he makes it clear that for example the controversial irish backstop solution to avoiding a hard ball of the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland would be indefinite brits and didn't get a permanent trade deal with the e.u. that's going to anger many of the so-called hard brits it is and make it much

harder of a reason may to persuade anybody in the house of commons between now and next week when they'll be a vote on the deal that in fact it is in britain's interests and also of course there's mounting opposition from people who would like the britain to remain in the european union and momentum according to some for what that m.p. you were just hearing from calls a people's vote a vote on the deal or whether to stay in with the current conditions in the european union some politicians say that will be honored and he democratic others will tell you well it can't be anti democratic if the people decide it should be so there are lots and lots of feelings on both sides but there is a possibility that the vote next week could be pushed back because of the. contempt debate that's going on right now in parliament it's extraordinary times here in

westminster nobody knows how we'll get out of the us but that ruling in luxembourg on tuesday certainly makes it possible in theory for britain to to reverse the holbrooks that decision if there were a people's vote or a general election pushing the country in that direction but they many thanks indeed for that live in london well the governor of the bank of england is warning of the potential for a severe economic downturn in the event of a no deal breaks is 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 is a worst case scenario and he's backing the prime minister's brakes a 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 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. products standards rules of origin those but also shorter term disruptions in terms of the import infrastructure other than just to call disruptions but also a fairly severe financial market reaction and a shock to call it is at the same time the russian navy has temporarily lifted its blockade on two ports in ukraine ships awaiting to enter the port stand on bass where ukraine's army has. russian backed groups it's in the disputed crimea region which russian troops annexed from ukraine four years ago tension escalated last

stoltenberg has called upon russia to release the ukrainian ships and soldiers as soon as possible nato has already condemned what it sees as russia's aggression this isn't a bit of stoltenberg from a bit of. a night to provides a strong political support unsterile 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 ceased and nato allies will also continue to help to modernize and strengthen the ukrainian armed forces. well you heard a young stoltenberg talking about the practical and political support that the nato

alliance is giving ukraine at the moment and really that's where it seems to end because or asked whether or not nato might consider sending ships to back up ukraine that was something that the ukrainian president had are asked for last week well and stauffenberg has given no indication that nato would be prepared to do that of course as i said this is an alliance that does not want to make the situation worse and does not want to enter into any naval military confrontation with russia that it can avoid the special many thanks to such a butler live in brussels. weather update next i have zero then the mystery of the missing construction workers and into these you will have the latest from jakarta. goes to king tut's levy has been a bonus. meet the nobel peace laureate so make taking his mission against child labor to a whole new audience. and

twenty five degrees for the arabian peninsula there's an area of pattern rain that's working its way from the red sea that all the way up towards possum q eight it will bring us a few showers in kuwait but probably nothing quite as heavy as we've seen recently the wetter weather will be a positive iran instead ahead of that system is fairly humid for many of us so there's still the risk of seeing some fog care in doha and perhaps over parts of the u.a.e. as well further south in fine and dry forests here getting to about twenty eight degrees and don't be surprised if you see a few showers around the coast of yemen. right
