forward to for the dry riverbed tonight case one five years on the syrians still feel battered or even those who managed to escape their country have been truly any to escape the war. this is al jazeera. hello i'm daryn jordan this is the al-jazeera news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes. there's not a smoking gun there's a smoking soft top ranking senators in the u.s. get a briefing from the cia director on the death of small fish and they're convinced the saudi crown prince direct the. no jail time for the former u.s. national security adviser michael flynn in relation to the president to russia's

alleged meddling in the twenty sixteen elections. bowing to pressure from suspends plans to increase fuel taxes after the country sees its worst riots in decades. it is i think i'm president and for this house to find government ministers in contempt. first of british politics the prime minister suffers major defeat them and scrutinizes have. seen a u.s. senators say they're more certain than ever the saudi crown prince ordered journalists killing in stumble two months ago their statements some of the strongest so far followed by a closed door briefing by the director of the cia gina hospital on the murder where she's one of the few western officials who's heard order recordings from inside the saudi consulate in istanbul where she was killed while senators on both sides of the political aisle left. a meeting unified in their conclusion that mohammed bin

solomon was behind the killing and that the trumpet ministration must hold him to account well the washington post which she wrote for is calling for the cia to declassify its findings and make them public mike hanna begins our coverage the cia director paused on her way in paying respects to president george h.w. bush lying in state in the capitol the briefing took place behind closed doors only a small group of eight senators invited. all in. agreement about one basic fact. i have zero question in my mind that the crown prince n.b.s. ordered the killing monitor and killing knew exactly what was happening planned in advance if he was in front of a jury he would be convicted in thirty minutes guilty. so. the question is what we do about that saudi arabian in the us are two different

entities. if the saudi government is going to. be in the hands of this man. for a long time to come up and it very difficult to be able to do business because i think he's crazy i think he is dangerous and he has put their relationship at risk only a strong response by the united states will send a clear and unequivocal message that such actions are not acceptable in the world's stage and i think that's more important than ever and i hope that senator graham and my legislation which would create a real set of consequences mandatory global make netsky a series of sanctions beyond those that exists would be a very strong answer to what has happened last week both the secretary of state and the secretary of defense told the full senate there was no concrete evidence

linking the crown prince to the moda senator graham used the term willfully blind and questions are asked to about president trump's ambivalence it would be really easy for the president to walk out into the press room today and just date that. that m.b.'s killed a journalist we know he killed the garrulous. we know he ordered it we know he who we are we know that. he monitored it these are all people that are very close to him and and that is not acceptable for american standards in the days ahead senators will be discussing what action to take and here there is some division in the senate someone aimed specifically at declaring the guilt of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon others want a wider bill drawn up which would include economic sanctions against saudi arabia

including a ban on all weapons sales only one thing at the stage is clear given the mood after this briefing legislation there will be mike hanna al-jazeera washington al-jazeera is tony berkeley is in istanbul with the reaction from turkey where the matter occurred three. i think for sure they're going to welcome this reaction it backs up everything they said from day one i think there's been a lot of dismay within the turkish government about the stand of president trump the you know maybe he did maybe he didn't sort of conclusion about mohamed bin salman and whether or not he was responsible as far as the turkish authorities are concerned without naming him in public they have said that this murder was on the doorstep of the saudi royal court that was in public in private you know left nothing to to to to to conclude they definitely leading towards him on if not him who is it they've been asking that question over and over again but the evidence

has been so circumstantial the turkish government leaked from basically from the moment they have the audio recordings excerpts from that it put together and piece together what happened to mr karzai and it's very clear as far as they're concerned they've got this kind of you know split situation now they want to maintain a relationship with saudi arabia because it's a very important strategic regional partner but also they want to maintain the pursuit of justice they say it happened in turkey and they have a moral responsibility of following that they're very concerned also that the investigation seems to have reached a dead end as far as the turkish authorities are concerned because now the ball is very much in the saudi court and the saudis are saying that eleven people have been charged five of them are facing the death penalty the turkish authorities want those people to come and stand trial in turkey there's no response to that but they've also asked some very important questions if it wasn't one hundred bin salman who ordered the killing then who was it and where are the remains of mr kosofsky because they have never been found and they're asking the question now

it's been eight weeks since he was murdered you've got these people in custody why don't we have it in for any information about where the remains are so lots of questions but this news is very important for them because they believe i am sure that this now will reinvigorate the investigation put a lot of pressure on saudi arabia to comply and to cooperate john hendren joins us live now from outside the white house john so what's been the reaction from president trump and officials there at the white house where you are. there and there's been an almost deafening silence from the white house i spoke to a white house official not long ago and he said don't expect a reaction from the white house tonight neither the cia nor the department of defense has reacted and that is perhaps because president trump is now struggling to cope with the rebellion from within his own party over the death of jim all. senators got a briefing last week from the secretary of state and from the secretary of defense and they emerged unconvinced and demanded

a briefing from gina haskell the head of the cia who as you point out was the one to go to turkey and to listen to these tapes that the turkish government says it has of the killing and when she when she was done with that briefing those senators all remain convinced that that murder was ordered by the crown prince of saudi arabia and they want the trump administration to offer some kind of response to that some kind of penalty and they've made it clear that if president trump does not do that that they will react on their own and they've already got a bill that is up for consideration that would stop u.s. aid to the saudis in their war in yemen we've got a senator dick durbin from illinois a democrat who now insists that the entire senate be briefed by gina haskell and u.s. officials have told us that al jazeera that in fact officials in the house the house of representatives will also likely be briefed in the next week and a half or so by gina haskell because they too are disturbed by what they've seen

here and you can see the senate getting ready to act the house is still in a more partisan body and it's in republican hands but by january president trump knows that that house will be in under the control of democrats and then things could get really dicey for him deron jon hamm's on the line for the white house john thank you and it's bring in a house on these co-directs of just foreign policy that's a national advocacy group that's lobbied u.s. politicians to end the saudi led war in yemen he joins us via skype from chicago on how much has the case opened up a much wider debate about u.s. saudi ties and the accountability on the war in yemen. it certainly has opened up an entire referendum on the us on alliance we have zero in march where or senators voted to end the war and yet it obviously did in no better similar hold it happened and we got sixty three senators to vote and the war in

yemen or at least advance the s.j. rest of the four procedurally to get a clean up or down vote that's a major shit and you've been working for a few years now advocating for an end to the war in yemen through lobbying and rallies and publications is that the case now likely to make people in the sit up and take notes and do marathons odin americans even care about the war in yemen. we have been working hard at the grassroots level and you know definitely educating people and folks are definitely gauged i think it could show the thing is definitely highlighting the war crimes and highlighted the you know human rights abuses by the saudi government and this is really put a face to saudi arabia's brutality and for folks that want real accountability and real change in style to you know both to end the war and yet it and that i think

would be an appropriate response to completely cut out u.s. military support for this conflict just a quick question to you on the cia briefing earlier in at the senate i mean after gina hospital gave her briefing senator lindsey graham seemed to make a point of separating momma been some on from the states of saudi arabia is this in a way do you think giving president trump an out and that he could possibly sanction the crown prince without large nothing u.s. saudi ties. well i think if you just go after him and solomon you sort of miss a whole history here and you know several decades many decades of human rights abuses by the saudi government so it's definitely not just law and it's all and i think that with death we notice the overall conversation about what's been happening certainly since mohamed saleh has taken over you know he me his fingerprints are all over the war in yemen so seen up punishment on him and in

particular with obviously you welcome but you know do you not lose sight of the human rights abuses by the regime over time just a final thought hassan there are now talks about to start in sweden to end possibly the war in yemen how do you see those talks playing out and how hopeful are you. i am whole i want to see this war as soon as possible yemen can no longer wait anymore they the humanitarian scale is on another president and level of fourteen million people on the brink of famine so i think while i am hopeful i think it's really important for the us to publicly say that they are going to stop supporting saudi arabia if war in yemen i think that we can help considerably at the feast. so in congress obviously under article one section eight of the constitution they

actually have the power in america to stop war war making powers wise lies strictly with congress so truong could continue you know pushing this war or about really congress has several vehicles here to completely cut support so i think that is crucial. thanks for talking to us. now talks of trying to bring an end to the war in yemen as we're saying are due to take place in sweden who three delegates from to stop come from some on tuesday other rebel delegates or expect the travel to sweden from amman on wednesday the u.n. sponsored talks are the first since communication between yemen's government and the who things broke down in twenty sixteen. we hope now that the u.n. consultations can begin later this week and this is of course significant it would be the first time in more than two years that the parties are meeting now

to get the parties to this conflict to to come to one place for consultation has not been easy. but is now a decisive step in our efforts to end the suffering in yemen. and the u.n. is warning that the civil war in yemen could further deteriorate in the new nia leaving more than eighteen million people in need of food aid the world food program says yemenis are now experiencing the worst humanitarian crisis since the u.n. was formed more than seventy years ago this is not a country on the brink of catastrophe this is a country that is in a catastrophe and we're see in the severe hunger rate spike from eight million to twelve million the number of food insecure people those are this 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 meal's 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 now the u.n. is calling for nearly twenty two billion dollars of funding next year to cope with humanitarian crises around the world four billion dollars will be dedicated to yemen the largest appeal among all countries they want to sanctions latest report says nearly one hundred thirty two million people worldwide will need aid next year well that includes food shelter health care and education. now the u.s. special counsel has recommended no jail time for president donald trump's former national security adviser michael saying he's corporative substantially with a russian investigation robert mueller says when provided information about interactions between trump's team and russian government officials as the president was transitioning into office when pleaded guilty in december twenty seventeen to

lying to the f.b.i. about his contacts with russia is the only member of trump's administration to admit to a crime uncovered during miller's probe. becoming an al-jazeera including ukraine's president makes a pledge to relatives of the neighbor crews detained by russia last month. legal battle in sri lanka as the country struggles with an escalating political crisis. north america's top hockey gets ready to welcome a new team muscle to the cup. the u.s. is giving russia sixty days to comply with a nine hundred eighty seven nuclear arms treaty oh it says it will withdraw from the pact us secretary of state might bump made the announcement at a nato meeting in brussels he said russia's alleged violations of the agreement were a direct menace to europe these violations. of the i.n.f.

treaty cannot be viewed in isolation from the larger pattern of russian lawlessness on the world stage the list of russia's into this x. is long georgia ukraine syria election that will score paul and now the curch straight to name just a few in the light of these facts the united states today declares it has found russia in material breach of the treaty and will suspend our obligations as a remedy effective in sixty days unless russia returns to fall and verifiable compliance. from brussels. or nato is issuing a very strong condemnation of russia it is saying that moscow is in violation of the i.m.f. treaty with the united states now this is a treaty which dates back to nine hundred eighty seven it was designed to curb land based missiles in europe and therefore help ensure security in europe it is

a treaty that the nato alliance is also always supportive people cause or the security aspects but over the past few months the trumpet ministration has repeatedly said that it believes that russia is in violation of the streets but it is the first time that nato has come out and said that it simply agrees now with washington and donald trump has made it very clear that he would like the united states to withdraw completely from the treaty we have the u.s. secretary of state might compare saying that the u.s. will suspend the treaty in sixty days unless russia complies the onus now then is very much on moscow says nato to try and comply and save this so-called cold water eighty. ukrainian president petro poroshenko has met the families of several sailors held by russia last month the russian coastguard sees three ukrainian ships and their crews after a confrontation and waters of crimea ukrainian region by russian twenty fourteen

under simmons reports from here. it was a collective outpouring of emotion as relatives of the twenty four detained ukrainian servicemen came together president petro poroshenko tried to reassure the gathering that he was doing everything possible to get them in freed the meeting took place nine days after the twenty two sabers and two counter-intelligence officers were detained by the russians in what crane says was a totally unjustified attack the president told the relatives that russia had no legal right to detain the man in charge that there's no truth no justice no law in russia he said of the crew of men three of whom were injured and treated as prisoners of war covered by the geneva conventions so it would be. i gave an instruction to the foreign minister to contact the international committee of the red cross and to maybe a third of the possible to send a special mission to check on the condition of our boys as the president was making

his latest attack on russia there were some movements of shipping to and from the ukraine's ports in the sea of as of for the first time since the crisis began ukrainian ministers said russia had partially lifted its blockade back in the capital there were moves to put pressure on russia to release the captive ukrainians as their relatives were moving on for talks with the united states embassy it went on into the evening. these men say they're exasperated at russia's refusal to show any leniency. we've heard nothing officially about my son's condition only some of her mission from the russian media and messages from crimean tatar activists that he was seriously injured and has had surgery. isn't letting lawyers or ukrainian diplomats see him.

lose i'm not angry at the russian people the russian government because they have allowed this barbaric behavior of their own offices their sailors towards ukrainian sailors in offices. the meeting here with the u.s. ambassador marie event of it when thrown from the relatives say they told her that the americans weren't doing enough to pressure russia to release the servicemen they say she assured them she would pass on their thoughts to the white house simmons' al-jazeera. when i bring you more now on that breaking news we told you about a little earlier the u.s. special counsel is recommending no jail time for president donald trump's former national security adviser michael flynn because he cooperated substantially with the investigation into alleged russian meddling in the twenty six elections let's bring in bruce fine he's a former u.s. associate deputy attorney general and he joins us live from washington d.c. bruce does this decision not to recommend jail time to fin come as

a big surprise to you. well no time at all i think reading the sentencing memorandum said no jail time up to six months that's kind of the range but it is surprising since the the. something of lying to the f.b.i. kind of sets a baseline for others who have been similarly charged so if flynn charged with lying ciro then what about the others that charged with lying man afford to papadopoulos several others are they going to get zero as well on the other hand they may have decided that this was a signal to other potential witnesses that if you cooperate you know you can avoid jail time so it would encourage them to others who are involved to be forthcoming and i can expect that we're going to not have to say mr trump i have no doubt is

going to denounce mr flynn for cooperating and he'll say things to try to discourage others from emulating flint yeah bruce the point you're making that about corporations important because it was just about to ask you what does this no jail time recommendation tell us about how co-operative flynn has been to the approach but he's done something about nineteen separate incidents. yes and if we try to ascertain what kind of information would he possess that could be critical to investigating the collaboration if you will between the russians and and the team is probably that when he made his overtures to the russian ambassador those were not unilateral decisions that he made that he received either directions from a trump insider or perhaps even from trump himself to make these overtures which would then connect trump ultimately as being responsible since he sets the agent into action it's also possible that mr flynn would know what kind of relationships

jaron questionnaire had with the russians because he also was speaking with ambassador remember he flirted with the idea of a private communications channel at one time and maybe others in that loop who were talking regularly how are we going to deal with the russians even in that transition period and that would be something that would be of great interest to muller since he is trying very charter is to identify what were the contacts and maybe if not collusion collaboration between the russians in the trunk transition including things like signaling what would do as president and trying to shape russian behavior accordingly for example not retaliating against president obama shutting down of some camps and and expelling some russians for their collusion that he had identified in his administration that was perpetrated through hacking and otherwise just a final question to you so where does the mole approach go from here because rob

a lot of sounds like you have a lot to say. well i think we're far from finding the the end point here i think the next step in the equation is next week where mr molder identifies what he thinks for the continuing alliance of paul man of ford and i can think that there will be a very real strict recommendation of a very heavy sentence to give signals not only to man of four but to others cooperation means to be completely candid and forthcoming if you're not you're going to get a hammer over your head and i also think next week will be informative because it seems as though mr trump is going to defend mr mann afford and maybe even send a signal if he holds tight like roger stone in the same signal to he could perhaps obtain a pardon he clearly is going out of his way to say a pardon is not off the table so we've got a lot of continuing jousting to do between all are and trump and the next several weeks and the big inch

a lot of that we haven't discussed yet is mr muller's insistence that he subpoena and get mr trump under oath about the mehlman that he's investigating that something that clearly was not covered by the written in iraq at tory's where trump only address things that happened before he was president and that's ultimately going to have to happen before a monarch report is completed thanks for talking to us. time for a short break here now when we come back no way into the united states asylum seekers stuck in mexico are growing increasingly desperate. secret videos expose a looming environmental disaster in one of the most remote parts of me and mom. in a sport we'll hear from the greek athletes facing our financial hits on their way to sporting success more in the stables. by the springtime flowers of a mountain lake. to the first snowfall on

special counsel robert muller is recommending no jail time the president trumps former national security advisor michael finton says flynn incorporated substantially with the investigation into alleged russian interference in the twenty six thousand election. who the rebels and the u.n. special envoy to yemen are now in stockholm along the way to talk to the u.n. hopes that negotiations will signal the start to an end of what it calls the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. now it's a first for british politics m.p.'s have found the government to be in contempt of parliament that's because it failed to publish the full legal advice and had received on the prime minister's bragg's that deal members of parliament the gun five days of debate on to raise a maze proposed divorce plan and are expected to vote on it next week earlier a senior e.u. legal official said the u.k. can cancel the exit without the consent of other e.u. member states bob as the latest from london. for tuesday soar a series of setbacks for to resume a and her government it was supposed to see the start of five days of debate on.

that deal ahead of a parliamentary vote on it for next tuesday but that was delayed because politicians from all of the opposition parties here in westminster and the northern irish d u p a democratic unionist party as well who have been propping up trees a major government called for a vote on contempt of parliament saying that the government had broken its own promise in november to publish the full legal advice on this deal given to it by the attorney general the chief legal officer all along the government insisted that was not in the national interest but when it came down to it parliament just wasn't convinced. that. the i used the right three hundred eleven. to the left two hundred ninety three so the guys have eight the guys have eight zero.

point zero zero to care stoma. on a point of order mr speaker this house has now spoken and it's off huge constitutional political significance it is i think unprecedented for this house to find ministers in contempt the motion makes clear the government must now publish the attorney general. final legal advice in full where the government has now promised to publish the full legal advice from the attorney general but it's also been defeated in another vote in the commons and that was on an amendment to the withdrawal agreement saying that if it's rejected by parliament which is looking more and more likely then the commons will get a vote in january on the front be saying that in effect the government should do x. or the government should do y. and what that really means for the labor party in particular is that it will be

able to say we do not we. leaving the e.u. with no deal the so-called cliff edge scenario there was another set back. when the european court of justice took advice the u.k. could in theory reverse article fifty the process by which it said it wanted to leave the european union you know actually so that if for example the country did go to a new referendum on the deal or a general election labor's preferred option right now then that could actually happen that's that's opening up a road for people who say that the only way out of the pass is to put the question back to the people. now after weeks of violent protests over a proposed fuel tax hike france's government has bowed to the demonstrators demands president emanuel micro had argued that the goal of the energy taxes was to address climate change but what started as

a revolt against an increase in the cost of living has now spiraled into a larger broader movement against the french president to reports from paris. it was the prime minister edward phillipe who was forced into a u. turn in a nationwide television broadcast while present emmanuel macron remained aloof in nearly say palace. for more than three weeks tens of thousands of french people have been expressing their. anger around about tollgates new shopping areas or in the streets of many french towns this anger has deep roots it isn't burning for a while it's often stayed quiet other fret the sense or pride today it's been expressed with force and in a collective way one has to be deaf not to see or hear it because but protest is manning the yellow vest blockades were already rejecting the concessions and demanding more from the government. no i don't fit it enough we are an

extraordinary movement there are too many demands it was from pensioners from young people from locals everyone wants an increase in purchasing power president macro hopes these concessions will mark the beginning of the end of the protests but the yellow vests believe this could be the beginning of the end for macro the latest opinion poll puts him down a twenty three percent a record low for a man just eighteen months into his presidency. a school on fire in the south of france the protests are spreading on all fronts to the president's ambitious reforms and what yellow vests are calling act for the revolt in paris is still going ahead on saturday david chaytor al-jazeera paris well under light is a senior fellow in the climate program at the world resources institute he says the government's decision to back down shouldn't impact fantasy commitment to the twenty fifteen paris deal. everyone understands that as we are going to have to

move more aggressively on measures to reduce climate pollution that the ways in which this interacts with the economy's going to be difficult and domestic circumstances are going to play a role in that so i think that i still feel confident that france is making good progress on the overall him going to paris agreement it's probably going to be the case that they're going to have to delay delay and potentially forestall using this is one of the measures i mean that was also a lot of frustration with mccrone d.c. decreasing taxes on the wealthy there obviously other things going into his mo approval numbers right now and so yeah there's there's a whole bunch of things that are coming together that are producing these programs i do not believe it's simply a one when people can what's being discussed in full this week is coming up with a final set of rules so that everyone will understand what each country has pledged on climate change going back to the twenty fifteen years of the if you look at the different kinds of pricing mechanisms have been put in place around the world to

deal with this issue most of them are not come in the form of taxes or fees like those of the vast majority of them are cap and trade so it is the european union hands and china hands in the state of california so something where you said an overall target for reducing emissions in an economy and then you allow cleaner cleaner entities clear enterprises just so those permits to ones that are are dirtier and turn it into a commodity and you get you still hit in overalls for reducing emissions what you do in a way that is generally less regressive than toxins. mexico's new president says that slowing the flow of asylum seekers towards his northern border with the u.s. is a priority for more than a thousand asylum seekers are not living in camps close to the u.s. front most of walked all the way from honduras from the border town of tijuana 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 asked for asylum. but back at the migrant shelter in t. wanna a steel 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 a 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 to 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 want to make it. 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 wait 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 clean something that was so terrible that they had no other choice but to live in the middle for a steal 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 heidi jo castro al-jazeera t want to mexico. was told to erika she's america's director international and he joins us via skype from mexico city thousands of migrants are now waiting at the border into water many living in terrible conditions just bring us up to date what's the maximum mexican government doing to improve conditions for these people. i mean we have received reports that many people have been moved to different shelters trying to improve the conditions there very precarious conditions that these people are experiencing name bury it but they knew this shelters that the mexican government had been providing over the last weeks unfortunately this has been worse and because they're u.s. so for if these are not willing to open the border there are not waiting to receive the suydam of the geisha and they have been rumors that the mexico and u.s. government out about to sign some kind of deal that will force people to remain in

mexico on in a way to import their side of claims to be heard by the u.s. a lot for eight days this is very concerning given the situation in the shelters the precarious situation the lack of specific. for me shows for people in need of a special protection children women as it to q i people and others who are very vulnerable of human rights violations we know that many essential american my guns won't be going back home and some of them will be applying for work visas to stay in mexico but is mexico really in a position to humbled this influx given that many a fleeing the country themselves because of crime drugs in poverty. well the pope we have to remind the goldman government for him the country to for a demon duress go south of the door what tamala nicaragua where did people are escaping general like violence that they have a responsibility to protect their citizens but also the country some the
