missing from last week's testimony to the senator about his murder well that is about to change in just under an hour the cia director general hospital will brief a group of u.s. senators about the case her absence last week outraged many who felt the testimony of secretary state might compare and the secretary defense james mattis just wasn't enough we needed to hear from her remember in october housefull travel to turkey took part in the investigation and as we say that included hearing the tapes that apparently captured the mood of khashoggi in many ways this testimony was always going to have to happen this was monday's new york times. a series of intercepts which seems to confirm the crown prince ordered the killing of the newspaper said this the leak of the secret report according to officials infuriated gina housefull the cia director it also intensified calls by members of congress to have ms house will go to capitol hill to brief them well that's what's happening and here is mike hanna to talk us through it he is in the u.s. capitol hi mike so closed door does that mean we won't hear anything or is there

likely to be some information that would come out afterwards. well it's closed doors on it's especially a very small group of senators it's basically the ranking senators and the chairman and senior senators on all the key national security committees now it is unlikely that we are going to hear from house for herself and that there is a possibility some of the senators may speak after the meeting but as you mentioned in that introduction there are reports that the house bill was and sensed at what she saw as the leaks coming from nor makers about the cia investigation there were rumors last week that she was prevented from attending the briefing by the secretary of state and the secretary of defense however subsequently a spokesman for the cia has said that she decided not to come because she had already briefed a number of members of congress but this is a can briefing it's being demanded by this. your senators one republican senator

lindsey graham went so far as to say that he would block all legislation until the cia director came to congress and briefed the senate seat the feeling there mike it's the likes of lindsey graham the other senators and even us in the media might end up being disappointed she clearly knows more than anyone else but under these circumstances it's hard to imagine how much she would actually let go. well one would imagine that she's fully briefed the secretary of state the secretary of defense and of course a president himself now all three of them have insisted and various times that there is no smoking gun there is no direct connection between muhammad bin saddam and the crown prince of saudi arabia and the murder of jamal khashoggi now subsequent reporting indicates that is not the case you mentioned the most recent report of a series of eleven messages between the crown prince and one of his senior aides who was allegedly with the group who carried out the murder so there is mounting

evidence in a lot of ways but as far as the secretary of state as far as the secretary of defense and as far as president trump himself is concerned there is not sufficient evidence to prove beyond all doubt that the crown prince was directly involved in the murder whether or not gina has full advances this or it gives more information to the senate committee or that's something that we may find out in the hours ahead and we'll talk to you more about have been mike hanna a tappable hill thank you. just one other note i wanted to bring you on jamal khashoggi because we do get caught up in the politics of it all very easily but there is a human and a professional story to remember as you say the committee to protect journalists c b j's launched a justice for jamaal campaign can you to share why journalism matters to you obviously this is something we take very seriously at al-jazeera so in addition to this campaign usuals have a look at our web site that dedicated section journalism is not

a crime and if you were to get in touch with us please do as a.j. new there it is on screen for you if you want to reply to our twitter thread please do not tally on a summer own dick tonight looking for your replies in our tweet thread there with the hashtag a.j. english you can watch the live stream at facebook dot com slash al-jazeera hopefully all the technical problems from yesterday are also to thank you for bearing with us through all of that and plus one seven four five zero one triple one four nine that is our telephone number for whatsapp and telegram if using either of those messaging apps you can get in touch with us directly now. after making this a huge crime issue to talk about this inching up to meeting with the ukrainian president petro poroshenko in kiev family members of the twenty four sailors detained by russia have actually held talks with the u.s. ambassador to ukraine remember all this when the tension escalated last week russian warships opened fire and then captured those men on three of the ukrainian navy boats we have got andrew simmons in kiev to talk us through this one outside

the embassy there talk us through what's going on under. well right now the families are about to come out of the u.s. embassy here they've been talking to the american ambassador at length molen allow or about their situations where not sure of the details they've been going through but earlier they saw petro poroshenko the ukrainian president they spent considerable time with him emotional scenes there we're really seeing the rule human feeling now in this crisis ten families represented a total of around twenty people crowding into the meeting rooms to meet the president and he had to consult at least one of the mothers who was crying and there was really at expression of of concern of worry of anguish and poroshenko tried to reassure them partially succeeded by some of his rhetoric and

it's even saying that they were all prisoners of war and russia needed to recognize this fact that it was under the geneva convention they should be treated as prisoners of war and should have access to the international red cross the i.c.r.c. which is being dispatched we understand to try to find out exactly what's been happening with them but one case in particular out of the twenty four servicemen and not all sailors at least two of them a counter-intelligence offices one of them but serious soroka twenty seven years of age he is seriously injured and his father also an s.b.u. security service official was there representing that many of the families he's really concerned about the welfare not just the welfare but the condition of his son who is had we understand surgery in a mosque hospital and the situation now is that. is determined

to actually have these pete men represented and how and to try to actually. put the court case to one side they face charges of entering russian territory illegally which says is absurd of course the most cagey the the most kremlin is just kicking back or what so i'm saying that i was trying to really stir up a political storm here really to serve his own interests in the elections next march however right now it has to be said that no matter what nato does would seem to try to warn russia russia is steadfast in saying no way will we do anything other than try these men in a court and we're holding the three boats they were in they were on board until that date when that court case comes about and the men are tried thank you for the

update there andrew symonds at same jersey or on twitter if you want to connect with anything he have for us now after weeks of outrage and violent protests across france a decision to increase taxes on phil has been put on hold in a live t.v. address the prime minister edward felipe said the suspension of the proposed rise would last for six months it was slated to go into effect next month in the past three weeks of course we've seen angry parisians in particular burning cars and losing shops angry at the prospect of paying more fuel taxes. horsemen for more than three weeks tens of thousands of french people have been expressing their anger on roundabouts tollgates near 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 it will have

a chaytor has been following these events these protests in paris and now the politics behind it all david what do you actually make of this it's obviously an immediate short term win for the protesters but you know this is gone past fuel tax hasn't it well yes this was a very good diagnosis i must say by edward felipe the french prime minister of what exactly has been occurring but why has it taken them three weeks to respond in this way clearly it was the violence on the streets of paris and nothing seen like that since may one nine hundred sixty eight according to the french mayor of paris so are they responding to the violence or are they responding to what the ad what felipe said was that the the real anger and the real problems with people just trying to earn a living and make ends meet in france and why was it the prime minister who is eating humble pie rather than president emanuel macko who is the man who is

engineer these reforms and push them through he stayed aloof and the elysee palace he still hasn't made a public statement since he got back from argentina and the g. twenty so i think it what it means is essentially that this protest is focusing not just on these fuel hikes they've only been suspended pain will come back again in six months time they should have been abolished according to the yellow vestas and so i don't think this is going to be the solution that is needed these protests will continue because the main aim is emanuel machall himself. well let's talk more about him even as you say for years almost hiding out in the palace does this make life more difficult for him if he wants to push through further reforms in his presidency. how difficult has this become for him. it's become really difficult you know the lot the last poll that we had was just released by perry match and it showed him down at twenty three percent in the

opinion polls that's as low as france on bitter on his predecessor got after four years in office so this is quite extraordinary turnaround a full from grace and extras like full for somebody who's been called jupiter the man who stays above the fray but this is aimed at him he's a he's been he million eight hundred here he's had to turn back on his cherished economic green policies that was supposed to tempt away the french towards the climate goals that matter get them into electric cars but it simply didn't work because the main burden fell on the people who could most ill afford it and it's because of his separation from the people that this happened and it's been brought into close focus for him now and if he's failed on one of his most cherished policies what does it mean for the rest of his term he's got a long term ahead and he's already been humiliated so i don't think these protests

are going to stop and we may see even more violence coming up next saturday when the yellow vests have announced yet another protest i'm sure you'll be there for us as well david chase there in paris thank you david started talking there about the tax issue and i think we should discuss us now with our guest greg who is the clean vehicle director of transport and environment that is an e.u. environmental watch while he's in brussels nice to have you with a stance that we focus so much on the protest movement and then on the whole idea of mr mccraw on even being forced from office that we didn't really look enough at the issue of the taxi of now as david said it was there to try to encourage people away from petrol into what was just a micro going about this the right way. well i think mr macro has been going about in the right way what he's been trying to do is to equalize the amount of taxis which are. on both diesel and gasoline because we know that those diesel cars are

much more. and he's trying to use that revenue in order to try to shift people away from internal combustion engine cars towards electric ones but the problem he faces is that tax france is the most taxed economy in europe forty nine percent of g.d.p. is taxation and if you keep pouring water into a glass eventually it spills over and you have a mess and that's exactly what he has the moment so he's done the right thing on the environment but what he's not done is address the wider issues around the social equity of taxation in front it's interesting i'm just looking at a couple of comments coming through we broadcast this show on facebook live some of our viewers are writing in and saying this isn't about the climate anymore it's about government reform micron's speaks for the rich the greed of power is overtaking the needs of the environment you think that's what's actually happening here that the core issues being lost oh i think undoubtedly this is much wider than

than simply a protest about fuel taxation and it shows that where you reform big taxes and fuel taxes that needs to be done as part of a wider reform of. employment taxation policies because both the shift to green cars and away from oil and a shift away from taxes on employment all create jobs this is good for the french economy but the problem is it's not being done in balance at the present on how much has emanuel micron's staked on the environment as president he's been president for eighteen months now i think and when we think of the environment we think of the paris climate accords when don't trump pulled out of it he was one of the first to speak up in favor of paris it seems that he has a lot of eggs in this basket. well yes i mean i think he's spoken certainly strongly about the importance of climate change of course the

paris climate agreement is is now the the the cave key initiative globally but at the same time he lost his environment minister mr hu just a few months ago who left in deep frustration at the lack of real commitment to environmental reform so as with many of our leaders they they talk a good case on the environment but they don't necessarily put it into action so in france you made a good point of saying that it's may have most heavily taxed country in europe if that is the case in taxes on the way to do it what do you think is is the way to address this particular issue in france. i think i think tax is the way to do it but i think it has to be done in a way in which people pay more types for their fuel but perhaps have less money taken from them in their white package every months so we see a shift in taxation away from employment towards the more polluting

activities which we're trying to discourage i think the french did heart of the job and the french government were doing half of what was needed they didn't do the other half and that's why they now face to face the protests which they have an effect the whole the the reforms greg got to great to talk to you about that i'm glad we could get back into the core issue here with you as a thank you for joining us. thank you his reveal i'm getting lots of comments lot of people lot of people talking about this and actually saying yeah the prime minister's done the right thing just at least to bring the tension down because it just kept growing and growing today but there's also that climate change issue that we're seeing people talking about a lot and i would call and people also according this the first protest against climate change policies in history many are comparing the get a vest riots with the french revolution saying that because carbon tax collides with francaise forgotten now tom calls it ironic with necron having to cancel his trip to poland for the climate change conference because of the riots which were caused by fuel taxes aimed at fighting climate change and sean says that lacan had

to learn the hard way green taxes carry political risks a lesson american politicians should take to heart now we've been talking to some of you online and we heard from an environmental activist this is what he told us. that rises nothing in france demonstrates one important theme they want to be genuine climate action is not in their just and fair transition asking additionally ferd's from the poor people would never work in the context of constant inequalities increasing that's why we definitely need to change the whole model or if you are in france will want to share your thoughts on how climate change policies are affecting the economy get in touch is the hash tag is good or you can says simply messed me directly and that to him how it can all things for him a couple things to show you here the physical aftermath first of all of the protests in paris that's been put into a picture gallery at al-jazeera the home you know we all saw the fire in the

graffiti as it happened this. gallery shows the results of that i guess there is always in pictures link in the main menu on the website and you'll find this gallery there and many more and then also the political aftermath video not running unfortunately even with the reversal of the fuel tax these are obviously testing times the president can he survive laura collett that discussion on a recent edition of inside story which is in the show's situation. now to the war in yemen where a new report is again painting a dire situation for millions of yemenis this incessant us from the world food programme it says more than eighteen million civilians are on the brink of starvation mainly because of the blockade by saudi arabia and the u.a.e. which is aimed at weakening the rebels study out this week from of pain and speaking to reporters earlier the executive director had this to say 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 hungary spike from eight million to twelve million the number of food insecure people those of this aged twelve are the people that are on the brink of starvation these are people just going to bed hungry. well to underline the situation in yemen we also have a report released by the united nations which is called the global humanitarian overview for twenty nine thousand now there are a lot of numbers here i'm going to take you through some of them in a moment but just think about this one for starters one in every seventy eight people around the world is caught up in crisis and urgently needs humanitarian assistance and protection one in seventy out of seven billion people in the world is an extraordinary ratio and it of course requires plenty of funding so let's go through this first of all in twenty eighteen the amount required was around twenty five billion dollars the amount received was thirteen point eight seven billion that was the most that's been received but you've got

a shortfall there of eleven billion it means i'll just zoom out again we're talking about only fifty six percent coverage for those who actually need it now they have been success stories we have to look at the fact that forty one countries where humanitarian assistance is needed was delivered to seven million children got emergency education in more than twenty countries that's always important and then if we're talking say yemen specifically eight million yemenis are receiving emergency food assistance each month but as we saw there eighteen million could be on the brink of famine so then we have to look ahead to next year and this is the projection here that the people in need will go up to one hundred thirty one million a look at that graph there that's showing just in the last five years the amount of people in need of assistance from eighty one million to one hundred thirty one million in just five years as a result of things that yemen and syria and that of course means that the funding needs to go up as well and there's been a very big rise in the amount of money needed again in that last five year period

and the coverage going down a member of said fifty six percent it was up at sixty one percent a little earlier five years ago at least. so that takes you through all the numbers there we're going to hear from who is the un's undersecretary general for humanitarian affairs he told me that a record amount of money was raised this year for humanitarian programs that was the thirteen billion i was talking about still not enough for 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 now are you ready to talk briggs that because there has been a twist to the already complicated brags that agreement a top european legal analyst says the u.k. can withdraw without the consent of other member nations of the agreement being non-binding i also remember the british parliament due to begin five days of debate on the issues so it's getting to crunch time we're going to talk to another barber about. the game the importance if you can tell us of the advice and it is important hey this is advice given by the european court of justice here. that's right kemal is advice but it's independent legal advice after hearing a week ago on a case which was brought by

a cross party group of scottish politicians and they have against the wishes of the british government brought this case to the european court of justice in luxembourg which is now expected to rule in line with with the advice that is just come out saying that the u.k. could in theory you know laterally pull out of article fifty or reverse article fifty that was the mechanism under which it told the european union in twenty seventeen that it wanted to leave that set in process a two year period of negotiations that's due to end next march will those those campaigners who took the case to luxembourg are extremely happy they're pretty sure that the the court will actually rule on that advice and follow it and that of them takes away the argument from the opposition the opposite side the bracks it has side when they say that you know what we couldn't stop bricks if we

wanted to the whales are in motion we just have to decide on how we're going to deliver it to the british people so those campaigners i've talked to one of them who's a member of the westminster parliament in the last couple of hours she said that there is a clear will on the other side in the you to help britain out if it comes back with a clear mandate to reverse the bracks it process either by holding a people's vote another word referendum on to resume a's deal or a general election trying to sort the matter out as well and she thinks they would be good will to actually extend article fifty to give the country time to do to pause basically and to to reflect on what happens next the government saying that this changes nothing because their approach is that the u.k. will not reverse article fifty there are plenty of people who say that the government in the end is not going to get its way. it would have to happen within

that two year period or we'll 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 that the other member states would let us have an extension for that sort of definite purpose so while all of this is going on the dream the idea of not for exiting as it were what's actually going on in westminster this week five days i believe of the debate i mean this is this is pretty girl and stuff. it is but the clock is ticking next she said it was supposed to be a meaningful vote for politicians in the house of commons on this breaks it deal the withdrawal agreement before the trees in may and her senior cabinet colleagues outlining their argument in their ex areas of responsibility as to why it's in the national interest for example in terms of the economy philip hammond the chancellor was going to outline his views now that debate starting on tuesday in the commons

has been delayed by a debate possibly a vote on whether the government's own top legal advice of the attorney general is in contempt of parliament for refusing to publish the full details of his legal advice to the government on that withdrawal agreement on the impact in the future he's already told parliament for example the irish backstop which guarantees there be no hard border on the island of islands if there were no trade deal in the future he's already told them that that would be indefinite so that's one detail which will anger the so-called hard bricks it is but he's refusing to publish his full advice many m.p.'s are very angry about that he could be suspended and it all as well as knocking out because potentially the choreography of these debates in the vote next week it also adds to the difficulty if you like for the prime

minister in trying to convince any minds which are unconvinced so far that her deal is the only one on the table otherwise britain risks crashing out with no deal now that the c.j. luxemburg have made have heard that's opinion that just adds to the momentum here in britain for people who are saying that there is a way out there's a way to throw it back to the people either with the people's vote a second referendum or a general election the government don't want that to happen but at the moment they're choreography seems to be going out of the window and the way that they're trying to sell that deal seems to be getting harder and harder. with the bugs that update from london thank you no jane this is the newsgroups and if you're with us on facebook want to get a bonus i get a story for you now it's about a canadian probably swap their vacation for volunteering in california to the fives and then later is ready come on the stop the cross border attacks by hezbollah

fighters into northern israel back in the headlines in. its very disturbed across parts of the middle east at the moment loss of wet weather around you can see the area of low pressure here just off the coast all into the mediterranean that is swirling around and all the wet weather is circulating around that so we're seeing one area of cloud a rain work its way eastwards and that one looks like it's going to give some heavy rain over the northern part of iraq as we head through wednesday could be a little bit of flooding here and then the next system works its way in and for some of us here particularly around that eastern coast of the mediterranean is looking very wet they could be some more flash flooding here particularly over the west bank or maybe into jordan as well so we're very disturbed there and we're also seeing some of that over the arabian peninsula as well here it's originating over

the red sea and then stretching its way north woods as it works its way a steady towards the east will see it make its way across q eight probably not as heavy as some of the rains we've seen recently west of a force in parts of iran to the south of that generally quite humid at the moment so don't be surprised if you see some more fold here in doha or maybe over past the u.s. as well down towards the southern parts of africa and we were plenty of cloud with us at the moment and some of this is giving us some very heavy downpours indeed i think as we head through the next few days we could see a few more showers developed. al jazeera world follows the struggles of an iraqi painter a syrian screenwriter and a palestinian filmmaker as they come to terms with their lives as displaced artists in lebanon. art is always the first to go to the last of the

departing actually that was colin powell who was a former u.s. secretary of state he was paying his respects a little hop out the way there george h.w. bush the forty first president of the united states his body now lying in the capitol rotunda there people coming to pay their respects his body will eventually be taken back out to texas for the final funeral but. any number of people coming past there to pay their respects that very rare and very somber occasion when a u.s. president passes away so those are some live pictures for you there from washington well look at some other news farmers in may in march shan state say coal mining operations are causing widespread environmental damage activists warn that pollution levels are increasing because mining continues to grow without restraint or macbride has our report. mines like this one a largely closed off to the outside world and have to be filmed discreetly. but the people living near them say there is no escaping the pollution they cause to their farmland and waterways. on farms just

are chinese but companies from japan and australia are also interested and there are fears about a lack of regulation of environmental and safety standards in this remote part of the country. this underground fire at one mine was filmed by a monk who does not want to reveal his identity for his own safety. we don't expect the government to fix this because the problem comes from the government they're cooperating with military and foreign investors and we are very concerned for our safety because we are small local groups and we're fighting against people who have a lot of money and power opening up to the outside world has been a boost for people in other parts of me and ma but for many in this area the existence of coal under their fields and outside investment is proving a toxic combination. macbride al-jazeera supreme court judges in sri lanka hearing a challenge to the president's decision to dissolve parliament and called snap

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 has attention and resources have been diverted in the last several years due to its participation in the war in syria which likely makes that loath to want any kind of military

australia's parliament website the standard of dress in the chamber is a matter of individual judgement but the ultimate decision of what is acceptable rests with the speaker now it should involve things like good trousers a jackets color and a tie for men and similar standard a formality for women now this want the house speaker tony smith had to say about the matter. with the drapes makes the stage are inevitably matters of judgment. in this case and having regard to the attire of members generally the journalist in question was a tod in a why which would be reason to be considered professional business the time she shooting hindsight not have been asked to leave. any future a view of the media rules my wish to reconsider the best way to discard the china dress code for journalists in the interim i've asked the definition of formal

business attire for female journalists in the chimed be applied having regard to the attire of members genially. a lot of the apology patricia has tweeted online saying that she's planes that female journalists will be free to weapon fashionable clothing that reflects what politicians wear and she adds it's a sensible outcome what do you think should dress code know as exist like this let us know he's the hash tag aging is quite interesting it's a very surprised to see that story coming out of out of australia thank you for that revealing just before we hit the break i want to reply to rub it on twitter who said this is to do with the issue of climate change and the fuel tax in france he says i believe the popular opinion is wrong there's little evidence that mankind's actions have a marked difference. of course entitled to your opinion i think it's probably in the minority but if you go to youtube dot com so how does their english look for daniel lacks a climate s.o.s. report from yesterday from toronto have

championships she became the reigning champion in the women's sixty eight plus kilo category last month in madrid if karate were in a limb pick events know the greek government would pay out a one hundred thousand dollar bonus for her gold medal but karate won't be an olympic sport until twenty twenty in tokyo that leaves only others father who is also her trainer with unpaid debts from financing her career. if i were turkish or french or italian i'd get fifty and one hundred thousand dollars a year i'd be given a car and a house and i wouldn't have a job to do and be covered for life because i contribute by competing for my country but because i'm from greece i had to leave my country to work and pay for my tournaments and when i came back with medals i got nothing. i unequivocal has at least her bonus as greece is a little gold medalist in the twenty five meter pistol event she trains in this disused tobacco warehouse it's hot in summer cold in winter and the electricity

from a nearby business often cuts out but it's better than what she had before. i had a small metal box which we filled with hot coals i would use it to will my hands every two or three shots because they were stiff as planks this was a basement and the temperature was below zero in winter in the old quarry shack we wired up red and green lights to the paper target behind me to simulate the lights used on a limping targets there was no power so we wired the lights up to the top battery sometimes the problem isn't money but state negligence the olympic shooting center behind me contains hundreds of electronic targets and could have benefited greatly from the use of one but the entire facility was given over to police special forces after the two thousand and four games a limp take athletes have been excluded from it. the government sport budget of seventy million dollars is spent mostly on keeping existing facilities open.

my we should be for sport federations to spend more of their time building facilities for younger athletes so as to produce the base from which champions might spring up but it's not easy for the government to go and build a facility in which every area champion arises in a given sport. both coached by their fathers and nurtured by their families and they feel deeply patriotic until further financial support arrives family and country will have to take them as far as they can go jump start ople us al-jazeera athens do let us know your thoughts tweet me directly after score a small we'll be back with more eight hundred g.m.t. but for now back to come far amazing story isn't it to think home of the olympics and we see stories like that now and again child slavery this is a major goal for a nobel peace prize winner and the author is taking his message to the big screen with the help of a documentary filmmaker organizers of the gel film festival here in doha are
