degrees on thursday in both london and paris and then that mild air will spread eastward so it'll turn wetter across many parts of germany and up through scandinavia as well meanwhile towards the east is staying cooler for many of us here bucharest as a maximum just one degree and forcing kiev will be at minus three so looking a little common brighter and a bit warmer force in madrid and here in the sunshine we should make it up to fourteen degrees and that sunshine spreads for the south as well so we'll see it i will post a morocco in south geria and unity are the temperatures for many of us on the coast there getting to around twenty or twenty one degrees for they says a bit more in the way of cloud here there's also some wet weather along the east coast the mediterranean but on the north coast of egypt and libya will just see one or two showers we'll see more intense rain begin to form as we head through the day on friday say for some of us in the northern parts of libya here it will turn roll the wet for the central belt of africa the showers here and now in the southern part of the north it's largely fine and dry.

so dan is suffering from a shortage of medicines with pharmacists warning that lives are being put at risk a combination of sanctions and ongoing economic problems mean the government is struggling to import all the drugs the nation needs it's led to shortages and massive price increases he but morgan has more now from the sudanese capital khartoum he's had to visit more than a dozen pharmacies to look for medicine for his diabetes and her mad says the brand he uses is imported and none has come in in the past few months. there are so many medicines you can't find even if you have the money to pay you can't find it luckily i found it today if i didn't i'd forget about it and hope to live well. hammett's medicine is not the only one that's hard to find in pharmacies twenty years of u.s. sanctions on sudan have heard the economy the government has had to cut subsidies

for many imported products and although sanctions were lifted more than a year ago there's been a shortage in hard currency affecting pharmacies across the country. i don't want sort of on imported medicines rely on hard currency which is provided to companies that important is there are many medicines now like those used to treat heart problems the right treatment that we can bring in and all the medicines are now very expensive because of the lack of hard currency so we can get enough supplies the deficit in foreign currency to import not just medicines but many other products is mostly because sudan lost seventy five percent of its g.d.p. in two thousand and eleven that's one thousand ounces he did taking with it most of the country's oil fields importing medicines cost nearly five hundred million dollars a year money the government can't afford continuing economic crisis imports and medicines are not only becoming hard to find but even if they simply are able to find them with inflation and reduce subsidies many can't afford to buy them politicians here say while they're trying to cover the costs of some lifesaving

unless it has a minimum of fifty centimeters in diameter and a maximum of five trees can be cut in an area the size of a football field for the next thirty five years this allows the younger trees to flourish but starting in january when brazil swears in a new government the old system of logging which has little if any restrictions could become the norm again scientists insist that the amazon is vital for countering greenhouse gases responsible for climate change but president elect not all questions its very existence he's intent on opening up the amazon to cattle ranchers farmers miners and construction companies that supported his campaign. amazon expert warns the price of further deforestation is too high we have evidence that is already harming our climate system brazil depends a lot on the rain that is associated with that fourth. not only because of it.

looks at the future of gene editing in humans. hi emily could be al and here in the stream today editing the human genome what can genetic editing technology accomplish and should there be limits to the science let us know what your take is on gene editing just check your comments and questions to us live via you tube or twitter.

chinese scientists have has claimed to have created the world's first gene edited human babies twin girls who were resistant to hiv last week the news was leaked online ahead of the presentation at a global gene editing conference in hong kong all of the results of his experiment have yet to be independently verified they have nonetheless sparked condemnation and conversation about scientific research i think and how a powerful genetic editing tool known as christopher should be used so why was this experiment so controversial and what else could gene editing achieve joining us to discuss this from boston journalist and bioethicist alex perlman in berkeley california door enough agena editor and deputy director of the california based innovative mix institute also in boston is a clinic cohen faculty director of harvard university's petri flom center for health policy biotechnology and bioethics welcome to the story of everyone it's so good to have you here let's start on my laptop with the publication that broke the

story this pen in my teeth technology review exclusive chinese scientists are creating crisper babies theodore what was your first reaction to hearing that a young researcher had allegedly made the first crisper edited baby so this. is a how are full to control what you've got is doing your can do much good for the world including for people with people with genetic disease this is not the way in which you know to and should face the public where we talk about. scientists making designer babies outside of existing your recovery works so went on to when you sent me the data i wrote him back and. this is a. and antonio being the reporter behind that mit article

there you're not the only one this from scientific on twitter who says i'm struggling to describe how i'm feeling watching this presentation in q. and a there is so much wrong with the research the medical benefit the secrecy the lack of informed consent this is not what science is about this is a display of egos so that's one person's perspective but i want to take you into the room where this happened and what you have a listen to some of the reactions from scientists who were at that summit in hong kong on november twenty eighth. don't think this should have been. i think it's unfortunate. it would have been good if we'd known more about it before this meeting came out it's an appalling example of. what not to do with the new technology that has incredible potential to benefit society i'm grateful that he appeared today in the meeting as scheduled to present his is work i think that was appropriate but i don't think we heard answers to the questions that were asked so

i think we still need to understand the motivation for the study and what the process was for informed consent and how the children will now be monitored and i don't know the answers because we didn't hear them today. that last comment is from u.c. berkeley professor jennifer dowd now one of the co-inventors of the crisper glenn you heard their comments there one of the last time you can remember that paper so much controversy after a science con friends and can you understand their reaction totally understand their reaction i mean this is unprecedented and i agree completely with professors and other people that this was completely unethical the way this is done the problem though is i think people will have the reaction to this particular experiment with its deficit seven point seven deficits and oversight the question of what was targeted and that will be extrapolated to a critique of crisper more generally and that i think is problematic unfortunate

because as one of your other guests just did there's a lot of good that can be done through these technologies both sematic cell at a thing that's adding adult cells birds and also germ line editing when we are editing cells that will be heritable and passed on so it's really unfortunate that crisper is going to be given a really block mork because of this particular event. we got this tweet and just now alex near a car says this is an act of an amateur i see this as an irresponsible and i'm at the act to achieve fame using our shortcut without considering the grave consequences it could bring i guess you've already read heard and learnt much about the reaction of the scientific community until now so he's on our same wavelength thank you for that new york heart alex your take. i mean i totally agree with everything that's been said and especially the person on twitter making the point about it being a play for fame i think that the timing of the release just ahead of the teen editing summit not to mention the fact that he had contracted with a p.r.

agency and released a number of you tube videos before he released any data into a peer river journal i mean i think that all lined up that evidence suggests that. quest for fame and ego was a big motivator here which is really unfortunate because with science that it is so crucial and has so much potential and which is so widely misunderstood in much of the general public this was a really terrible decision on his part and on the behalf of anyone who collaborated with him. so before we get too much further i want to make sure our audience is all on the same page and to do that i'm bringing up this week from amanda amanda says in trying to explain what it is we're talking about when we say crisper amanda says i think using the science metaphor is the best and the idea that the crisper system works like a scissor where we're able to go into a cell and cut the d.n.a.

of the genome at a targeted place then we can either remove a piece of d.n.a. or provide a template to add and modify the d.n.a. as i was reading that i'll let our audience know i can see glen kind of light up there this does this this topic excite you help us understand crisp air so those you know i read a science colleagues who does it so i'll defer to him in a moment but also there's a bunch of different metaphors that are used the science people cringe at each of them because neither none of them are perfect the other examples are find and replace with microsoft word or your word processor and then another example that i think is actually most interesting is a most wanted poster the idea that you will have the most wanted poster for certain kinds of viruses or bits of d.n.a. that you're replacing what's important to understand is not everybody is a good scissor i'm not very good at cutting so if i cut i will make mistakes and that is true with crisper as well that may be off target alterations but i'll defer to my science call it what it will give a more accurate statement about the fit or you're the person on twitter named

amanda should write science text. it's a good metaphor i think the broader point that people should appreciate is this the human d.n.a. the human genome is not unchangeable you know it's not like some piece of classical music like of where every note is precisely in place since humans emerged in africa two hundred thousand years ago our d.n.a. has been in flux. it changes because we have inhabited different environments it changed because it changes because for all sorts of reasons so for example this naturally occurring form of the c c r five gene which is discussed which is what john legend really edited in the embryo is that that became the two girls that gene naturally mutated in humans millenia ago to give us now existing human beings who don't have a normal copy of the gene i guess resistance to each id so here i think is the single probably biggest lesson for all of us we live in an age where there is

such a thing called microsoft word for human d.n.a. . but that genie that count as out of the back and genie is out of the bottle question is what do we do with microsoft word what do we write in human d.n.a. and as my colleagues on the coal just mentioned there is a large number of on going effort for it's there called clinical trials to treat serious disease such as cancer. diseases of the liver line just recently a company in cambridge called its medicine announce that they're starting a clinical trial use crisper in individuals with genetic diseases a vision. so that's what you can do with microsoft word for your d.n.a. you can change it to treat your existing disease or i guess if you're under motivated by what although i second my colleagues comments like that it's probably something to do with you go you can take embryos and for no medical reason and

ethically get rid of one gene in the hopes of gaining you know we don't quite know what so from my perspective as a gene editor i am really hopeful that your audience and people the world over understand the genetic thing is not in the hands of rogue scientists doing harm it is largely in the hands of sane ethical. responsible scientists and clinicians who wish to use it to really change how the way we treat people just will tear down here is one person who makes you happy i think you understand that this is an iffy the who says gene editing is the future of preventative medicine genetic diseases such as human feeling ethical cell anemia except around will all be prevented and before birth so there is one idea of what this could do but that is speaking of a medical need people who have serious hereditary diseases who need this what i've seen a lot online is that this trial or this experiment did not meet that category kendra

here says there is no unmet medical need whatsoever given that there were alternatives and better means to prevent hiv infection and this is speaking of course of the case at the center of this but. another person roatan and send us a comment on that same idea the i met medical need and what you have a listen to with an assistant professor at the university of wisconsin here's what he told the stream i don't mean this week we had a really interesting discussion of what. the president you know. and it was really important for my students to understand that there are still what we can do of the work since the field is that moving so much of the last forty five years was really an important cue study to discuss. alex your take. well alex you go first england you follow. unfortunately i cut out a little bit at the beginning so but i'll just go back to your original question

about an unmet medical. question about this experiment in china specifically does not meet that criteria there are so many ways that are established and proven to prevent transmission of the hiv virus and this is was not one of them not to mention you know there was the babies weren't going to be infected with the virus they were using one of these other methods that were already proven so they weren't curing them of anything that they already had as i would the definition of a medical need something that was already going to be in their genetic code and this didn't meet that i think glenn can probably talk more about the other side of the coin which is enhancement and whether we should be looking at a different ethical code for what comes if there's no on met

a medical need if it counts as something that's different. or more that on. both glen and theodore not in their heads glenn. two quick points first is i think this microsoft word analogy is useful for another reason which is the democratization of the word processor back fifty years ago type of people who could do with microsoft word could do were small number of people with very expensive computer now everybody can do microsoft word crisper kastner and it's not quite there but it's so much more available than many other kinds of technologies we might use an easier to use so that really does up the stakes in that if you think you our government is trying to stamp out or prevent that uses it's much harder in a world with the technology is widely available second point which is the one that alex was. leading to is i think we should make two pretty fundamental distinction begin with what is between sematic versus germ line alterations many of the therapeutics we're interested in are about some medical to ration the changes we

make will not be passed along to future generations which is the case where we have the most ethical questions and even within the germ line some people make a distinction between treatment versus unhandsome and treatment is about restoring health and hates when it's about taking you beyond what would be typical for your species if it was functioning normally now in the united states the national academies of medicine have taken the position that crisper could be used for treatment if it's a serious medical condition there's lots of safety studies there is no other good solution but they've taken a firm position against the use of enhanced by contrast in the u.k. they've taken the position that and might be ok too and a lot of this turns on whether you think the line between treatment and mint is a real line or whether it's a very fuzzy or not morally so very good question there because that brings me to this point and i hear you there alex i'll go to you with this but that idea between that and that thin line between enhancement and we got

a couple of comments on you tube and there are several there's a really good chat going on there so if you're watching at home head over to you tube now there's an alarmist nature to it so jason says blond hair and blue eyes will now be a choice and i can't wait another person writes and saying that gene editing will begin a scene a typist revolution which will be the downfall of humankind it must be outlawed so there are some misconceptions here alex yeah i think that those are sort of the ones that people jump to or a knee jerk reaction when they hear something like enhanced babies there are very stereotypical and immediate reactions to blue eyes and blond hair and that this will be the downfall of us all and while you know those thoughts are not you know out of line by any means i think it's very extreme and it. saturated and that there are much more real world considerations that go to questions about who gets to access the technology there isn't if it does exist and there is

a way to enhance. embryos using this technology or whatever comes after crisper because crisper is not precise nor will it be the last gene editing revolution that we see it goes to the question about who gets to use it how are they going to use it how much is it going to cost. what kind of regulations will be in place to monitor or control its use and where and we're already seeing these kinds of questions come up not just with gene therapy but all kinds of medication and all kinds of health interventions that there are issues of distributive justice and when you start bringing the idea of enhancing humans into that conversation it becomes much more concerning one. and certainly issues of who gets to use crisper and how right i think are much more real world

and timely things that we need to figure out than whether it's going to be used for blue eyes across the board which again i think is an exaggeration so then who gets to use crisper and who does not i want to direct your attention to this tweet from peer theodore peer says if we have the tech we will use it so best to come up with solid god lines right away i'm ok with editing lethal defects giving protection from disease and generally health related problems it is problematic to edit for beauty skin color exciter oh so on the note of if we have the tech we will use it actually want to hear from the man at the center of this i want to hear from mr haas himself here he is speaking on camera about this procedure have a listen. this is probably going to be the world's first. so if it's not a c. i have a problem you may rule the entire field in the people. tossed in the new technology

he says we could lose trust in that same interview that he gave back in october he goes on to say there will be someone somewhere who is doing this and if it's not me it's someone else or does that excite you or does that worry you. allow me to offer the following message to your to your audience if you get an email from a jean editor saying please go to design your baby dot com and we will use crisper to custom build your child to delete that email immediately i mean them drop strokes crisper today is used in clinical trials to treat existing disease and i suspect that some folks in your audience habits. you should have hope people world over are working on the crisper based approaches to treat genetic disease that you have or members of your family have and these clinical trials are ongoing. the next question one of the or twitter users brought up the notion of getting rid of genetic defects before birth well folks frankly there already is

a technology to do that it's called prenatal genetic diagnostics it's safe i won't comment to the ethics but i know it is widely practiced and my understanding it is done with a rigorous informed consent my point is if you have you were is to are considering having a child and are concerned about your risk of a genetic disease to that child because of a gene that they themselves have. they will be able to you know approach this problem by using existing safe and effective effective treatments last point about enhancement look let me give you an example there is a variance of a gene that gives you a higher risk for all timers do i want to have it you know what i like to get rid of it yes so imagine how we do the clinical trial day one we take an embryo we get rid of that variant of the g. and nine months later we have a baby and then we wait seventy years to see if that worked so you see where the problem lies i mean when we talk about embryo editing we're talking about looking

at effects were there but for the life of the person so that creates a huge challenge in terms of how you do this ethically and respectfully of the human autonomy which is why. i reiterate crisper is right now useful to treat existing disease in adults and children that from my perspective is exactly the way it should stay in the can use for our audience thank you for that glenn thomas here on twitter writes in that moving forward i think universities or even grant committees could really monitor the situation for vet them from happening especially people who work with i.b.s. in vitro fertilisation and and prevented them from happening i'm assuming their genes ones that go outside the lines of regulation what do you think should be done when it comes to regulation who should be overseeing this absolutely so universities have a crucial role to play to funders but here in the united states i think this is not well understood it is actually against the law to change an embryo to create a germ line at it that we passed on for future generations congress basically

passed statue saying that f.d.a. cannot hear an exception for this and as a result if you try to do this in a clinical context and try to produce an embryo you're violating the food drug and cosmetic fact that you'll be subject to sanctions so you're worried about it here in the united states this is illegal and i also understand that the chinese authorities are claiming that it was also illegal in china you might be worried that the law just because it's on the books and just because it's forced won't deter exceptional people who have it in their head that they want to be the first to do something that's important to understand if you're worried about this in the u.s. is currently against the law. so should the u.n. step in and here's what the director general of the w.h.o. had to say in the u.n. just being one of the bodies that people are saying they should have be the ones who have a say so and have a listen to ted turner autonomy get big you know says on december third you know this issue of you know anything is see it is because it has. social and sixty

issues needs. it's going most be just done with. guidelines. may have unintended consequences so this is uncharted waters and it has to be taken seriously so alex the w.h.o. has said it is putting together a team to be in charge of this what's your take on that and what who do you think should be policing it sure well i think policing is an interesting word because of course there is no international crisper police nor is there an international. agreement that a lot of countries have bought into and that should there be any well i think that there should be and number of other people do too and that was the point of the g.-net summit but the first one sort of to discuss whether there should be in a second one to discuss what what it might look like going forward. but there

hasn't been one yet and i think that it has. been optimistic for the u.n. to think that they can step in here i think that countries need to do a better job on a local level domestically looking at. what their university again are doing what people who are funding science looking into and then also make sure that if there is if there are countries who have sort of. lobster out of date regulation and that focused on time line editing right or anything related to that that they need to take a closer look on how their countries might be used at haven for scientists who want to leave countries where there are more stringent laws than right so this really you know it needs to be something that is dealt with domestically by countries across the board and again it and i sometimes i just want to emphasize it are. so limited i just want to strengthen your point by saying that i think you know

al-jazeera and other media outlets i think are doing a great job carrying this message to the people frankly people need to know that embryo editing is unethical unsafe and unnecessary so that when they get when they get an e-mail reach out saying would you like to design the baby they say actually no so i completely agree with amanda there is no world crisper police so educating the public the way you are currently doing in a brothel product is i think one key avenue of unusual. i agree and i think that again when we're talking about regulating locally and domestically obviously in a lot of places that had to do with the people and that's about electing. a representative who are knowledgeable about science and who care about issues of access for health care and who want to commonsense regulation let's not raise all types of interesting questions that are great for future shows that's all the time we have for right now thank you so much alex perlman theodore are not and glenn

so glow also reminded the saudis of the need to disclose the whereabouts of remains and to respond to all demands otherwise we will go until the end but if there is an impasse which is an issue we have been seriously contemplating about and talking with our colleagues these days we will not hesitate to go for an international investigation on this point turkey has outside support we don't have the mandate to do a criminal investigation so we ask we mentioned to the to the to the secretary general that we thought it was needed a crime and a missed occasion international investigation. these statements the rest warrants follow an announcement by eight senior u.s. senators about the absolute certainty that saudi crown prince mohammed was amount ordered the killing of them out based on a cia briefing the likelihood saudi arabia will comply with a new turkish city quest is beyond the remote's what turkey wants to keep the

in half an hour coming up next it's this time to swing thanks for watching us use by. and only to me. no you don't want to. start with. even the new year to me. before that summer i hadn't really thought to ask my dad much about

his past where he's from you know it's just my dad he was returning to sour rock for the first time in over twenty years. my little brother and i knew we'd meet a ton of relatives. i even had the snow book to write down all of the names the minute that close did you bring some of your wonder messages to give you. a bit of blue and my mom was worried that my dad would get arrested if he returned. but he promised her that he would stay safely away from the politics. mr president. distinguished guests fellow tribal leaders how does an indigenous present that. i know from the club a tribe of set out in malaysia. and i speak on behalf of my people. said all of which is in the state of malaysia is on the island of borneo.

no where in the world is primary forest disappearing faster than it is in somalia. but defending our way of life we have been called greenies pirates terrorists and traitors. personally i have been put in prison and in solitary confinement for this reason. i was a person is not like a child who has fallen into the fast flowing river intended syrian people.

but i would doubt i'd rather. die with bombing here. every time i have. my father met this last bomb up to hear their love. where you're on the right. and he died their. old berio fight there and i thought that it was the ghost from there that killed him. when my dad was my age the only way to. to the village was a week long boat ride and. now you can just drive there on a log he wrote. but my dad insisted we go by river. today my dad said we arrive home. he means the village of long to appear.

my dad had come to sarek turk or the stories of the elders when my dad heard another village elder passed away he knew he didn't have much time left. there are only a few alive who remember a world before christianity before the use of money. i me. that make more money or c.n.n. i know more the mom are your own man i'm going down there now. you mean i have big bill everything that i want to get out and i would have i mean i'm not that i'm very well and their mother got. a little bit. but you know me a man and i'm like no no i'm very. well i'm going to move i'm

a. god or heaven or we don't even during a man no more do we need none of. that. not. being in canada as a family for versus being in faroe ark when we are a family of forty fifty sixty it feels like it's a totally different dynamic. that's not your agenda it's like the correct temperature and. long close to nature all about strength training speed and power.

and so when you assume the older boys would say oh you know that the sooner the better of foster the stronger you have to eat those insects of the household being the sufficient reluctance. and so i did see. well but here's the thing the. plague her.

get what. you think. it is that you can't. believe. anything you

need yeah. so yeah. during church. i was surprised because the whole ceremony all the leading of the church the message of the church was being given by one family who was coming to present a project to the community but it's the costs. it's as though the church is addressing this project but the project has been approved by all members of the community.

told me that they want. every night they. were there we had basically a small community development community development here means. beings can. come and. morris said that his project would provide good things for long if a new road and the community hall uyghur culture to be. the people in the village have had bad experiences with development projects in the past because that doesn't is them but failing companies find them before here it was a lot of destruction through our land and gold before they see fun from dica to build this million dollar bridge then they said it is for development purposes but now

you know it's not for development offices it's for a game but on. the situation in the club you don't even have title to be allowed only to a tiny portion of. the government however continues to license out the isle of forests to logging and to bunt patients. who. decide this injustice the community recently brought the government to court. we finally are claiming all rights to our line and suing for the many years of illegal before extension we're. the question is does morris project affect our

caucus i don't know but i do know that he's working with the chinese n.g.o.s and the stats forestry department. this is the very bottom and we're fighting in court right now. and i'm going to be. there every all of the united nations send me. your. watching. the party. and then neck and back and i was part of the woman. really do but of course he has his own.

i would prefer. to do. b. school way i did in going to court. and i didn't come running again. i swear. we don't know. what if you win. what if you loss. i made the hour. i made turning on i am going to die and kill it. and will it reject you may have. a medical it might solve your i mean i missed some. news and then

got. some of those of the down. down to. a lot of my regular was you know what i mean your daughter. now that there. were no oh no not all morning. i don't love our men in the middle but our going to have a back in the day. that i'm out of my do i'm good now i'm. good i thought i'd drop out no. no no no no no. no no. but i knew you know my going to rock the don't know. or don't want to be i don't know what i'm going to. be done but oh yeah well and i mean my good number one of it i'm going to get it i'm the only one i certainly. got here i me i ran. out there well yeah.

i know how do i know i think. i've been away for too long and when i really odd for me to. who is with whom. when i was in conned after several years i just rest in the lies myself. you know you you know your face your time have. had pas you did what you could do within that time so now move on to other things you know so maybe somebody else the new younger generation would take it on from you but this has been going on for twenty twenty so you know. the land is getting father and father . being in our grass.

the line out about no no. i don't. look so yeah me no. me no any i learn. a lot i don't complain. now because i'm the. second to dr brink the law. i'm. going to see by going to get to. know more of the well. i'm thinking about morris project. let me net me hello

project a dummy get. up and learn as the ideas he set up in by industry. put a spring. to be and then the. movie. i'm the guy in the. night it was. beyond. want to live in my lap i'm the guy beyond. i think. i'm going to. i don't know how i'm going to know to dance with him you know. my and my my dad heard that the head man had signed away the land. i think to some

people my dad looks pretty calm like everything's under control but i can tell that he gets really stressed. according to our lawyers went ahead men signed a letter of perimeter survey here announce our traditional to tory roughly about one hundred thousand hectors. in a chance we got only four thousand hectors. basically this leaves us with a very small. government. just like our first presence in canada. ok so i learned. about good can only. go and he said. yeah. you know. now we're not that large and i don't i am not going to die i don't do that you know

. we're going about the underdog. and we're like no more you. guys. it's all. gone by and we're not and. that's what i'm going down and that's going to probably work and. it's a matter of how do we deal with that now whether to write the letter we have been advised to do that this is where i really more all over this question whether i should write it or not because as as an outsider i don't think it is my my role to write it for them but looking around i don't see anyone who would give their time to do the right thing for them the people signing the letter was the head man of the village and six other community leaders. today i am

a dance reducto but then i don't know. the chief minister of our. we the people of the upper limb by unmarried rivers have been advised by our elders and lawyers do not agree in hollowing our customary land to be has the least surveyed. our community leader was misled to sign the permit later under duress. i see him in canada i see in the other countries our indigenous people without looking far into the future it would be very difficult for the future generation to take back the land and saw that is what i'm trying to do create awareness about that before we lose it we have to understand where all these policies of the gunman leads to and how they eventually will push us out of our online.

and so in this way i am being dragged into the middle of what i started about thirty years ago to us the progress is everything to us if this live if this i could supply market in one thousand nine hundred my dad in two thousand and many went on a world tour. he tells me at that time the forest was a hot topic the west wanted to find a voice for it. that is no doubt that. many people have been in development i mean with outsiders with the british for example and now we have i don't want to give it up moment but the main issue is there re i'm not fighting against development we have by and finding against.

injustice is. caused by baseball not to be the nice thing that riots of indigenous people undefended snow and got somebody and then. i was out just. by you know but i mean a lot of my involvement would be not good but. at the time of my address they had denied that it was because felt ok. he's my favorite i don't know with that it was the first big autistic that week of

his that raced my family knew i was a lawyer and i'm supposed to know all the law and how to call bought doing things and they knew how serious this meant though us. i've been going to the police station every day. i just want to show the police that there's someone who'd nourse what's going on and there's someone who case you know and suddenly i heard someone from inside of the building calling out to me said at least is that you you know and and it really brought my hot. as though he my brother talking from me from the other side of the wall and not being able to see him and i think i think that was really ready. heart breaking for me. because i you know what the police do to detainees and especially

a person in peaceful solution. i think because a lot of praise from our side in the nation early the allow him to go out on bad. my dad learned that the police were looking for him he was going to be arrested a second time this time under a new law that could keep him locked up indefinitely so he left the country and stayed away. and that's how does a long night man. and i have not missed seeing him for many many. i thought this conviction that everyone has a deep reservoir of thomas realty and if you can give them the opportunity wonderful things start to happen sometimes the simplest seditions author missed and

packed for that day was not over yet i think that. the main thing was that sense i was zero apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people what about ideas or politicians and what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok but a little more complicated operations probably if this is not an act of creation i'm going to mark the walk. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave. some oversold spa even ski the speaker out as a surprise that. this job isn't just about what's on a script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now. the important thing if you were walking around in beirut was not to be in the line of fire from the holiday. we heard gunshots i was the first one to flee the whole. battle

lasted three days and three nights and there were no prisoners yet control the holiday inn and you control the region around and that's why there's such a bloody battle an icon of conflict at the heart of the lebanese civil war beirut holiday war hotels on al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara starr in london these are the top stories on al-jazeera is stumbles chief prosecutor is the man during the arrest of two people close to the saudi crown prince over the killing of. former deputy intelligence chief ahmed the sciri is accused of assembling the team that killed ashaji on the orders of crown prince mohammed bin sun and royal court advisor south khatami was one of the

about you doing that through. your thick or fight your life. people think. i think otherwise that you're doing things for your own so. you just have to be tough and yourself and. you know whatever people said about about hugh and about your work i'm always thinking of my grandfather's. lawn. three. sheesh.

she just. now i understand or i feel logging and like you can't stop. because they like work. i'm not that good of a leader like my dad. as i have come here a lot and a lot and might have some sex with other people which i don't like. when i do that. but i'm going to check if the problem. slimey like oprah. was it in sex. i thought village life would be simple everyone's related and it's so lovely and

warm. but now i know it's more complicated. maybe if things were different my dad could have been a leader here. now he's navigating his new place as both an insider and an outsider. we can visit star rock but i don't know if my dad can ever really return home. and now. when you look at the struggle of the first masons three hundred years in north america alone people have been struggling for to protect their land. and why not we do it

now instead of letting it lapse four hundred years. if hundred years later my grandchildren want to fight for the land and they can look at the history of what we have been doing. that they're down to the core they're like i'm not going to and i'm going to you know get on with you without the markup will go down on the platform in you know where might they end up on how much you know and it might then when i learned that there were no might there with the whatnot on our money to live in

a five year. yeah when you have a beer when you saw yeah i made it up with stuff like that yeah i mean i was out proteome i looked i mean. you can download it i don't think i'm going to be more involved in it on and on and then i'm going to go for the net down and down the aisle go up we're going to let me look like i'm allowance from the country and found out what i mean i found that i thought that the world are going to be. a cup on the part about one hour a day. you know i'm an outsider here now even though i grew up here. i feel that i have romanticized this community in my own community.

in moments. tiredness and desperate and weakness you view. your spirit is very low and you tend to. give up you do is say you know what they have you know. they're going to deal with this kind of words. you know so much have been destroyed so much that's been removed from the us but when i can be in. this field all that we can say this is like this.

i'll continue to do oral history which i'd love to do continue to do. the language protection which i love to do this is a bit more political activity with the mopping with the cloth and all that i can see public side. i respect would be here. but i have my families to take care of. thanks for being on the stand in where i'm going. to. be.

hello there we've been seeing some severe weather i have a possible stray recently severe thunderstorms bringing us some very gusty winds and some very heavy downpours as well you can see them just in the last few frames of the satellite picture so very heavy downpours hair we're likely to see a few more as we head through the next few days many of us in the new of the puzzle queensland and across towards the northern territory as well towards the south as a bit more clouds here and as that sweeps its way eastward it's going to drag in

some fog horsehair ahead of it so force in adelaide and melbourne the temperatures will be well above average we're looking at the mid thirty's really very well for us as we head through the next couple of days maybe towards new zealand and it's been pretty stormy here recently we've still got a lot of cloud to add some fairly heavy rain over the south island and that's all pushing its way slowly northwards so forth then as we head through the day on thursday we're going to see some more heavy downpours a repulse of the north island could well be more thunder and lightning as well but as we head into friday things improve and they'll be far more. the way of sunshine christ church in that sunshine making it up to twenty degrees if we head further north is definitely turned cooler now for many of us here but we've also got this that larry of low pressure that's developing just to the east of the korean peninsula bringing us some heavy rain and expect the most snow to on friday. a notorious symbol of the u.s.

war on terror one set for closure one ton of obey and it's detainees going nowhere we have identified as a priority is the construction of a new high value detention center i'm afraid that we're setting the conditions to return back to practice of brutality in state sponsored torture as we did have done in the past rendition revisited to on al-jazeera. when the brakes on the story build the fight against isis is still continuing in the arm bar that when people need to be heard. and the story needs to be told my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave people al-jazeera has teams on the ground to bring you more award winning documentaries and life. on air and online.

a statement is from the defense secretary on his way to canada for meetings there that he still needs to see more evidence he says he believes that the evidence will emerge but he still needs to see more now this in a way is a response to the outrage of some senators in the wake of the cia briefing here on the hill all eight senior senators who were present at that meeting emerged to insist that there was no doubt in their minds that the crown prince was responsible directly for the murder of jamal khashoggi now there was outrage at the fact that both the defense secretary and the secretary of state had just a week ago said there is no different evidence of that the murder was linked to the crown prince the lawmakers heard the same intelligence briefing that the defense secretary and the secretary of state heard and there's a degree of anger among them that they were misled as one senator put it other

welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera the french government has now announced that it's completely abandoning its controversial fuel tax hike the proposal led to weeks of violent protests is simple she prosecutor is seeking arrest warrants for two men close to the saudi crown prince over the murder of july. and a state funeral for former u.s. president george h.w. bush has been held in washington world leaders along with all living a former u.s. presidents came to pay their respects. let's get more on our top story now and the protests that have forced france's government to abandon plans to increase fuel taxes protesters began rallying across the country last month wearing hi viz jackets leading them to be known as the yellow vests movement but the protests soon turned into france's war straw it's in recent years as them astray has burned cars

and buildings in paris the heaviest violence was on saturday police responded with water cannon and tear gas president mccraw initially vowed to stick by his plans and condemned protesters but what began as anger against the cost of living soon evolved into an anti mccrone uprising many have accused the president of favoring the rich and doing nothing to help the poor david changes following events for us in paris so david at one point the government had suspended that tax increase now they've finally announced they're going to abandon it altogether do you think that even this concession is a little too little too late. well the concession came from the prime minister during a confidence session in the national assembly and it was almost his last card to play now clearly somebody in his administration has been keeping their to the

ground they realized from their reports and from the media reports that the yellow vests a rebellion was picking up pace and it was actually being joined by students i was with them all on the ground all during the course of the day it was also with some activists from some of the band the the the neighborhood surrounding the outskirts of paris all of them were saying this is a president of the rich and he's got to start listing to the poor he's got to start listing to the to the people who are taking the heavy burden on this so yes most of them were saying that the suspension of these fuel tax hikes was not nearly enough they had to be abolished will lead done that but is that too little too late it would appear sir because everybody was speaking to was saying that out of the protests is growing so rapidly the students are marching around the streets of paris and authorized going across to the workers calling on them to help they were

getting really good responses and now we've also heard that heavy goods vehicle drivers will announce a strike at midnight on saturday and also the farmers are joining the strike. on monday so the prime minister and the president suddenly realized there are again something very very strong and they had to make a concession a further concession but it's still not enough that is my gauge of what i was hearing today that it's growing everywhere and growing stronger and more and more people are saying they'll start their own protests the unions as well the students all on the saturday that is a real storm cloud a perfect storm. doing on saturday and how is president manual macro going to cope with that he cannot leave it just to his prime minister he must start speaking to the people now he went off to the the ottawa last night and he got

a terrible reception when people heard that he was actually in the area they lined up and they say they swore loudly at him they shouted at him that he must resign he got a very clear indication that the people of the country were turning against him and that he's the problem not just the reforms not the just the concessions he's made yet again but he is the problem his man is the problem and how he's going to cope with it we have to wait and see but it's going to be a very rough ride for him on saturday david how did it all go so wrong for mccrone in what is still a relatively short period of time from when he became president. yes just eighteen months in his opinion poll ratings are down to twenty three percent

that is a record low for a man who's been in the presidency for that such a short time and it is his style of presidency he's been called the jupiter figure the man who stays above the fray and it's been noticed many times that when he meets with all remembers of the public he just doesn't get on with them he doesn't nod to react or cope with the ordinary people and so it soon became very apparent that something had to change there was a very large chasm opening up between the yellow vests revolt seventy five percent three out of every four people in the french public supported that yellow vest for a revolt in his figures were down to twenty three percent and just abolishing the fuel tax hikes will not narrow that gap if anything it's growing even stronger and so many more issues are coming into it so can he ride this storm we'll wait and see but this latest abolition of the fuel tax rises will not work as far as i can tell

from everybody speaking today this is going to get worse for him something else has to give as well he might have given them an inch but the test is want to take a whole model david chaytor with the latest there from paris david thank you. ninety people have been arrested across europe and south america for alleged connections to powerful italian mafia than that and get that the operation was carried out just a day after officers the tane the suspected new leader of the mafia in sicily now the reports i am duesberg in western germany and police carry out a raid as part of a coordinated action in four countries here they search an italian cafe in a shopping mall as well as in this region north rhine-westphalia there were raids in bavaria in the south later euro just the agency that fights cross border crime held an exceptional news conference in the dutch capital the hague why we have

decided to do it don't forget you about and i'm president and extraordinary result that we have reached today we did joint judicial action that's been carried out in different member states you know that to fight then drag it out why no the most powerful organization going to station in the world as well as raids here in the netherlands and in belgium there were arrests in calabria the southern italian heartland of the in drawing getter the operation involved nearly ninety european and domestic arrest warrants and the various police forces involved seized around two point three million dollars in criminal proceeds as well as drugs including ecstasy and cocaine this episode result. it's been achieved thanks to the rupee and approach that all the concern i thought this site to confer took even to this case. these are

a model to follow also in the future the drug gets became italy's most powerful organized crime group from the one nine hundred ninety s. on woods it's involved in drug trafficking extortion and money laundering internationally operating independently from the better known sicilian mafia because a nostra this police handout shows a nighttime operation in sicily's capital palermo one tuesday it reportedly dismantled the cause and nostrums rebuilt leadership with forty six people arrested but the latest international operation is a reminder of the reach of their counterparts on the mainland the. nadine barber al-jazeera all the world is very familiar with a sicilian mafia after they were immortalized in film and television but it's then that i get that that's now top of the pack its name is the ride from the greek word for heroism and it's made up of family based clans and it's heartland of calabria in southern italy that's also one of the country's poorest regions now over the

decades that they don't get that has become a powerful international crime organization with six thousand members it specializes in drug trafficking and it's thought to control as much as eighty percent of europe's cocaine trade in two thousand and thirteen research estimated that it earned the equivalent of three point five g.d.p. if it was a company it would have been the fifth largest anything. well john that he is a professor of italian studies at university college london and author of the republic italy's criminal curse thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera i mean the full title of your book is actually cause it all stand i think cumorah from one hundred forty six to the present so you very much make the distinction between these three groups so just explain what the differences are and what the similarities are as well both cause an all star of the sicilian mafia and the end drawing get. sworn brotherhood it's they have rituals and

hierarchical structure the camorra the mafia of naples is a bit different in that it's a sort of occupier go of gangs some of them not much more than the sort of street corner drug gangs that you might get in any european city and how are so for example how isn't that on get to present in calabria and how does that differ or not they far from what we're seeing of its presence around the world. the underlying it is very much based in calabria that swearing has its if you like its tax basis extortion racket its control of territory and the white worms itself into all aspects of life and still around the world in there and get looks to calabria for if you like the the orphan to stay of the brand in the control of the rules however the the end i'm get has unique uniquely wide range

globally speaking among the it's funny and mafias it's colonies in the united states and canada since the beginning of the twentieth century a strong presence in australia where it starts it's our star machine so from the one nine hundred thirty s. and then since the second world war it's spread into central and northern italy and into parts of northern europe like germany well now we're seeing these arrests. i mean ninety people quite a considerable number across europe and crucially south america is well why they're well south america is where the enduring to sources is cocaine the in their anger the really made a sort of a leap forward in the early ninety ninety s. when it supplanted cicely's cause an orchestra which had entered into a crisis as the main business interlocutor if you like of the south american cocaine producing cartels and became

a main channel for the importing of cocaine into europe and just one final point how damaging is it to them that i get to then these arrests and the fact that now people are finding out all of that more about we need to know more i think it's important i think that this operation marks a new level of international cooperation in the fight against the in the wrong about some very positive development but this is the work of years generations to root in there and get the which was ignored for far too much of its long history john dickey professor of italian studies at university college london and author of mafia republic italy's criminal chorus thank you so much that the speaker of lebanon's parliament says israel has not produced evidence that tunnels where dug under the border between the two countries israel launched an operation it said was to destroy tunnels along the border on tuesday and counter a threat from hezbollah in any future conflict but after

a meeting between israeli and lebanese army officers and u.n. peacekeepers speaker nabih berri said no information had been provided about the tunnels nations from the oil producing group opec are gathering in vienna for a meeting on thursday their on the pressure to stabilize the global price of crude oil but there's some disagreement over how best to proceed paul brennan reports now from vienna. it's been a volatile year in the global oil markets after reaching a four year high early in october oil prices slipped from eighty five dollars a barrel to sixty dollars a thirty percent drop heaping pressure on opec to act then just this week when it emerged at the g twenty meeting that russia and saudi arabia had agreed to cooperate on managing the markets the price of brant crude the international benchmark recovered slightly to sixty three dollars a pound. opec's responsiveness is in question particularly compared with the nimble

shale oil industry which shared that time that the tide has been with you still for months maybe eighteen months or one year so whatever you said today is going to see it to have an impact on the markets immediately in the short term and that has created a massive challenge to an organization such as up there which is trying to stabilize and massive market president donald trump who is determined to reduce fuel prices on wednesday urged opec to keep oil flows as is the world does not want to see high oil prices he tweeted there is also tension within opec cats are has announced it's to leave the group in january and then is the relationship between opec linchpin saudi arabia and the non opec heavyweight russia saudi arabia has been leading the calls to trim the supply of oil and tackle the global oversupply but there are several members of opec who like the price is exactly where they are and then there's russia which is concerned that opec is ripping going flapping every time it

meets. analysts point to the different priorities of the two big producers. i feel is that possibly russia will hop across the nest the necessarily saudis do and that could create some deal tension there. just through the mannerisms through the comments and through the general feeling of the baka i'm pretty sure that if you look at the russian economy it certainly needs a stronger crude prasada saudi arabia of course but overall i think that the russian economy is probably not doing as well as what the saudis are doing. it is still a meetings have been taking place ahead of thursday's gathering in vienna a tentative consensus for some kind of supply cap is believed to be taking shape but deciding which countries will limit output and by how much it looks like the real bone of contention. brennan al-jazeera vienna. denmark and britain have been named the top countries when it comes to taking action to fight climate

change this is that gets from around two hundred nations meet in poland for the un climate change talks known as cop twenty four they're hoping to negotiate a way of implementing the two thousand and fifteen paris climate accord but many nations appear to be breaking ranks not least brazil as nick clark now explains. next year's climate talks with jews take place in brazil but that's being reverse by the president elect's jab also norah who has made no secret of his desire to open the amazon to mining farming and done building the world's biggest rainforest is already threatened after a year in which brazil broke its own deforestation record with latest satellite images showing in a twelve month period almost eight thousand square kilometers of forest were cut loose in human now reports that's five times the size of mexico city. deep

inside the world's largest rain forest chain saws drown out the sound of jungle animals. after a ten year low the destruction of the amazon is again sharply on the rise and this is the first step logging much of it illegal requires opening roads that then give access to soil in cattle farmers to clear even more. but despite appearances these lawyers from brazil's tropical forest institute are actually trying to save the rain forest there's a block a few this park is the identification of the tree deemed apps for cutting of cord the explained that the institute has developed a sustainable method of logging that requires carefully selecting trees by age and size but. we also cut the trees so that it will fall towards the light it indicates that the force is less dense there which reduces the collateral damage. the system which is now compulsory put strict limits on harvesting no tree can be cut here

unless it has a minimum of fifty centimeters in diameter and a maximum of five trees can be cut in an area the size of a football field for the next thirty five years this allows the younger trees to flourish but starting in january when brazil swears in a new government the old system of logging which has little if any restrictions could become the norm again scientists insist that the amazon is vital for countering greenhouse gases responsible for climate change but president elect not all questions its very existence he's intent on opening up the amazon to cattle ranchers farmers miners and construction companies that supported his campaign. amazon expert warns the price of further deforestation is too high we have evidence that is already harming our climate system brazil depends a lot on the rain that is associated with the forest. not only because of it.

but also because of power generation new satellite data shows that in the last year alone amazon deforestation has jumped thirteen point seven percent a loss of nearly one point two billion trees the reduction of forest cover is provoking extreme drought. and forest fires that are actually contributing to c o two gases. it's a manmade phenomenon that if allowed to expand may end up choking the amazon rain forest known as the lungs of the world you see in human al-jazeera brazil still ahead in the news the dog with a perfect sense of timing will say the bay farm goalkeeper in argentina is coming up in sports.

a half. i want to access to other human beings into meaningful communication with my family a son being born i didn't i didn't even know what his name was so there's all these sorts of things happening and so once i exploded myself literally and punched and kicked and cried and screamed and one of those sorts of things. in new vendor two thousand and two computer come onto arrived at guantanamo bay here. his name was major general geoffrey miller if you speak to many of the other prisoners who were held a time in the in camp x.-ray and elsewhere they'll tell you that he was his the regime caught during his period was the harshest they faced you know he brutalizing these prisoners are given we have this program called the frequent flyer program we wakes them up the middle night just transfer around it sleep deprivation it's isolation they were doing mock executions they wanted to bring people up in

helicopters and make it look like they're going to be thrown out they were just making it up as a way they were used their imaginations are running wild. at the time miller himself showed new concern about the regime he ran in guantanamo everything that we'd be side care built america can be proud. then in two thousand and three he was sent to iraq to devise about interrogation that. try to stop i went back to the pentagon and said this guy is clueless doesn't know what he's doing you know he's brutalizing these prisoners. in two thousand and four a puling images emerged from abu ghraib prison in iraq we also have deeply disturbing footage starkly illustrating the desperation the regime created in prison is. the images from abu ghraib caused shock around the world and in the off to martha eleven relatively low

ranking u.s. soldiers were convicted with sentences ranging from imprisonment to reprimand. afterwards major general miller he did vised about interrogation addressed a press conference in the prison yes i would like to personally apologize to the people of iraq for the actions of the small number of leaders in soldiers who violated our policy have. committed criminal acts major general miller insisted the torture and abuse at abu ghraib was the responsibility of roots soldiers notice the put out of the top down culture we tried unsuccessfully to contact major general miller through the u.s. department of defense they declined to pass on our questions as his not retirement our own procedures or internationally recognized for his bay detention of proper interrogation today the us has a new commander in chief during his election campaign and pretty cool for the

return of waterboarding a practice condemned by un special rapporteur as torture they said what do you think of waterboarding i said i think we absolutely need it we should have it and if we can't we should have worse. when the president of the united states most powerful person on earth says these things it just encourages people to behave in the most. paraguay lawyer clive stafford smith organization reprieve has represented eighty prisoners at guantanamo has been released one of the great truisms is if you don't know your history years you won't learn from history and your mistakes you know we have someone in the white house right now who knows nothing about history. of the repute and illustrate this back to the spanish inquisition and so we need to truth out there. but today some say the american administration seems even more determined than ever

to stop the truth about the cia's post nine eleven program getting out and that led to one of the most disturbing claims we heard during the course of making this film . and it's this that the torture of detainees in the cost is now impeding the quest for justice following the nine eleven attacks over the past years legal hearings have been underway at a secret court on the u.s. naval base in guantanamo. america's justification for holding prisoners at guantanamo is controversial. by declaring that the war on terror is an actual ongoing war the us government has argued it can detain captives of this war without charge for as long as it wants. but if they do then charge any of these detainees with specific crimes for example the five men charged with involvement in the nine

eleven atrocity they're to be tried by going ton in those special courts known as military commissions. one of the five is. accused of helping fund flight training for the nine eleven hijackers. in washington we met his defense team these civilian and bullet. the law is approved by the pentagon but that doesn't stop them being deeply critical of the treatment hundred out to their client by interrogators. in my nineteen years of service the rule we have always been taught is we don't torture there's a thing that has the innocuous name of water dousing and water dowsing is water boarding without a board it's essentially drowning in ice water many of those things and worse occurred to mr abbott's but the u.s. government says certain classified evidence on torture must be kept secret but i'll

bet you choose defense team says that prevents them defending him properly so this is a death penalty case and as such were entitled to you know all the evidence that's relevant material to mr arkell interest defense and that would include a lot of evidence from his time in cia custody where he was being tortured three and a half years. the prosecution has consistently dragged their feet on giving us that evidence the defense finds itself in the position of having to make sure that the very values that the prosecution or the u.s. government has claimed for so many decades are actually appealed therefore for me it is a chance as i see it to truly uphold the constitution of those of the united states that sterling has a much more measured response to this but but now it makes me angry that seventeen years post september eleventh almost we are still sitting in a courtroom in an offshore prison at guantanamo bay with

a prosecution that is determined to hide it torture from more than a decade ago and that i think is is offensive to and should be offensive to all americans. andries based near washington d.c. . this is where our journey starts to the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay. forty five square miles of america on the southeastern corner of cuba. the military commission hearings take place at camp justice inside this camp there is a multimillion dollar legal complex so secret when not allowed to film it or say where it is journalists meanwhile are billeted in these tents. the

trip it again tom has only been possible under very strict conditions we've had to sign a long document agreeing to restrictions on what we can film where accompany it at all times by a military mind that mind checks all footage so all the pictures you will see from here have been vetted. thurst lighted camp justice kuantan a man every day begins the same way with the star-spangled banner. to media h.q. is based in a partially derelict aircraft hangar here we await a military minder to accompany us to the secret court we cannot film. we come to observe the proceedings under strict conditions journalists n.g.o.s family

members of nine eleven victims and sit in a specially constructed gallery there's a thick pane of glass which separates us from the court and we can hear the proceedings on a monitor above with a forty second delay this forty second delay it designed to stop the public hearing any classified information in the cool we watched as the five men accused of complicity in the nine eleven attacks were brought in but seventeen years on the trial proper still hasn't started we attended the thirtieth pretrial hearing. in the evening we're told the next day's proceedings will be closed to the media and public in these secret sessions defense lawyers are given access to some classified information but a nice some. other evidence is considered so very secret that even defense lawyers with the highest security clearance can't be trusted with it and

who decides what they can see is a hugely contentious. in the transcripts of the open sessions mention of gina possible donald trump's choice as head of the cia an appointment that caused controversy because she once ran a detention camp in thailand in two thousand and two where torture was used jean a hospital has a key role as god ijn of the cia's secrets. as head of the cia it's within her power to decide what classified information can be provided to the defense in this case. so has gina hospital blocks evidence which could help the defense to find out we settle from the confines of camp justice to ask one of the defense lawyers. away from the condo one ton a naval base has the trappings of small town america.

it even has its own radio station with a souvenir shop and a fun slave looking infidels backyard. we meet up with defense lawyer james canal again but when we ask him about jena hospital's role it turns out that some questions he's not allowed to want such. as director of cia controls the pipeline of information from the cia to the prosecution to us is there any evidence that is an impediment in the first. i can't answer that question you can't answer that question. is there a suggestion that you might i can't answer that question. so are you saying that the u.s. government is the prosecution holds all the cards in their hand if all of you. in this military commission which was set up for the express purpose of preventing

information about torture from getting out to the public the prosecution really believe that if that's not to prevent information about to getting out the vote it was not set up that fifty process justice and i knew that it was not well no there's no question that the reason why we are here in guantanamo bay on an inaccessible military base with strict controls on the media trick controls on the defense attorneys strict controls on the defendants themselves for controls on every other participant in the process is to prevent information from talk about torture from getting out to the public the department of defense told us they strive to ensure the process is as transparent as possible when balanced with requirements of national security was that weeks legal proceedings and there's a press conference both sorts the prosecution on coming the attending media number just six including us over the fence here. you turn

and handle it derek puts heat is one of the defense lawyers who kind of shaikh mohammed the alleged mastermind of the nine eleven attacks he will in a trial could be he is the way the government is trying to hide so very much that you end up with this any terminable delay and it's disturbing i think to everybody involved but most especially to the victim family members. the department of defense say there's no time limit on the process which is good towards fairness rather than an arbitrary deadline birthmothers the pentagon regularly invites relatives of the victims of nine eleven to attend concessions at the military court heering some of the views this group expresses on the house and little unexpected naina and jessica murphy the father brian though this week i have thought a lot about my father and i have thought a lot about the deep loss felt by so many people. but at the same time i feel

i feel frustrated by the way certain issues are being covered in the courtroom has been a lot of talking about torture and i feel frustrated with the u.s. government for not sure if using to be accountable for certain actions and measures that were taken post nine eleven that i think are also really important. here a man who lost his wife has spoken out publicly about his frustration at the length of time this is taken and suggests that people can could speed things up i suggested taking the death penalty off the table as part of plea bargains killing people doesn't erase the killing of other people american community who lost her daughter mary ray says she's proud they'll be a proper trial i don't think most people have any idea of the links we've gone to

to make it a fair trial but like others marion has concerns about the death penalty. the death penalty makes us like them. i don't have anything and you go through years of years and years of this i wish that the death penalty were removed as an option in this case because i believe well it would go our pastor but also i don't think that our government has the moral authority to kill and i think especially not in this case. given the actions that were taken post nine eleven and killing these men bring back my father to be honest colonel wendy kenney of the military commissions what she made of the relatives comments. well i think that victims have an absolute right to what the government know what they want i mean as a prosecutor you always want to know what the victims are seeking ultimately

however that's a decision by the united states of america not mine we were talking about classified information and the cia director is ultimately responsible for what information is classified and what is nor what you make of that was role in being the mitchell thought arsenal i think that's way beyond my and. the entrance to come from erica women the soldiers the station. a few minutes drive away forty prisoners remain in course aerated maze tell'd income six. elsewhere compass seven houses so-called high value detainees we can't film and its location is a state secret. one thing we are allowed to film. a connection of mementos of previous postings which could be destined to grow even

know under the command of a president who has vowed to keep get my open and load it up with do. we have new leadership new direction and we have been tasked to prepare for an enduring detaining operations mission we have identified as a priority is the construction of a new high value detention center which would be referred to as camp eight because we do see the need in the future to care for that high value detainee population your commander in chief donald trump has said. and he would reintroduce waterboarding in a speech how does that. work you do. so at guantanamo bay all of our detention operations are conducted in line with the. an article three of the geneva conventions and i'm not a spokesperson for the white house so i'm not in a position to comment on anything that the president has said commander leon all

this may not be able to comment on her commander in chief statements but what he says counts in january two thousand and seventeen president in next trump tweeted that there should be no move further releases from get. and that was ominous news for detainees who'd been cleared for release under president obama. casablanca morocco the home of mustafa nasser in two thousand and four he and his family received shocking news from the international committee of the red cross most of his brother abdul latif who lived ruled had been imprisoned in guantanamo bay. he only saw one. of my mother's. fish also look into

a little love in some way you. know if going to be a little boy. you look at me so i love all over the u.s. claimed he had connections to extremists but no charges have ever been brought against him. then in twenty sixteen abdul-latif case was heard by a guantanamo periodic review board a body containing representatives from six u.s. agencies including the department of defense they'd cleared him for release in casablanca his overjoyed family made preparations for his return. for a commissionaire that and. but the wheels of bureaucracy ground slowly and as the day of donald trump's inauguration approached noirs made a last ditch legal bid to have other latif released immediately so court rejected

the bid on procedural grounds. since then the american government has argued that they can continue to hold one ton of no prisoners without charge until such time as the us war on terror has ended and this they've said could be a hundred years ago. today abdul latif is still in guantanamo. off to sixteen yes' with no immediate prospect of release. as you noted above them give you both and we'll get another good about obama but the decree if any of you know it will eventually. since trump became president not a single person has prevailed in a. periodic review process and. that's not a coincidence and anyone who says it is just an idiot. so they're not letting

anyone go for purely political reasons these people are just pawns in a friendship and try to get any political advantage. but for insiders we talked to one of their biggest concerns is that it's president donald trump who is now in charge of setting the rules they worry about what that means for the future. if you know admit to what we did and we're destined for this to occur again in the future and course that's my concern right now president trump who is an armored with torture who has a thirst for work ality i'm afraid that we're setting the conditions to return back to practice or brutality and state sponsored torture as we did have done in the past. the u.s. department of defense to respond to the allegation concerning periodic review boards at one time but they did not address this the cia declined to comment on

gina hospitals role classifying material referring us to her public confirmation hearing where she denied any conflict of interest in that role the white house declined to explain president trump's remarks about. it pays well and doesn't require diplomas. that's why so many in macau work for the casinos. but for those like gian who struggle it school. dropping out has become the lesser evil perseverance greater gamble. macao the future gamble on part of the viewfinder asia series unnoticed hero.

welcome to the program the french government is abandoning a fuel tax hike which has led to weeks of violent protests there spread into wider demonstrations against the president among your macro economic policies become his biggest challenge in office david schaper reports from paris. the prime minister edward felipe announced the complete abolition of the fuel tax hikes at the end of an address to m.p.'s in the national assembly he was speaking against a no confidence vote from the opposition his party's majority meant it was never going to succeed but he realised the real no confidence vote was being lost in the streets. to the yellow vests to all french people to you numbers of parliament say that the government is open to dialogue with the support of the majority of the students have now joined a growing fray of protest against president and the demonstrations are spreading

right across france. been set on fire blocking a road in ma say the same tactics in toulouse a high school set on fire. in a suburb of paris another school shrouded by cheap gas and smoke. in the city's or pantheon sorbonne professors were blocked from entering the campus as hundreds of undergraduates voted to join the live s. revolt with a march this weekend. mooted that. there is a rising of the people since race and it's caused by a single recent government policies that only look to take from the poor people to the rich on the more just. the anger doesn't stop at the case of the university we're facing a problem that touches everybody in society the end of a supporting us and we're supporting them.

and it was that these spontaneous demonstrations by groups of students are now breaking out in paris moving through the streets all to rise waving at the work of the sicko by getting support from bands. even ambulances so this is now what. president macro is facing the protest is pretty wait for the confessional season already given and the pressure on him and he's a bit astray she isn't only growing. present macron though got a very different kind of reception on a visit to the old law would you tell the people gathered by the side of the road to swear at his presidential convoy and shout resign. david chase al-jazeera parish well let's talk to a shot at all he's

a senior research fellow with the global policy institute he joins us via skype from malo in france this revolt against fuel prices has now expanded into a full blown rejection of the manual macross policies how politically damaged is he right now. it is very damage he can say yes started to shoot ducks. shoot ducks trade he should have made some concessions of late. to detour would be too late people to think do blood i don't feel good was on the ticket with twenty four percent of the devoted to first round and the process he came out of the blue and upset or dear the pretty good parties many of them the dresher about his work wiped out at the same john said depressed because he wanted take his distance from it and he was described as a bit arrogant because of some of his of the gov remarks which made distin that

kind of castigating said the former french considers conservatism and therefore he has become the person on which all the dissatisfactions which have been running in france psyche for quite a while focusing at him he's known as the president of the rip and is accused of ignoring the rising cost of living and high unemployment let me ask you chuck how out of touch is mccraw with ordinary people in france who struggle just to make ends meet. these perseids as very out of touch but i don't think he actually eats what he has done he's done some reforms francis needed to be reformed and are to refocus to be mounted were in his program but it isn't forget that the french are very conservative rock who don't like to be shaken but at just same time this are many frustrations in france society which have been going on for years for wages haven't risen the average wage in france net wages forty nine hundred euro's

iniquities and been growing albeit far less in france than anywhere else france is probably the most unequal or the most equal country of all to major countries in europe because their lowest coverage right dirs permanent coverage you're right it's a country rigid distributes the most with the best benefits that could be achieved in any of defined major economies but the stressed ration of people has been good it's very difficult for them to make ends meet it's true i see around me that with the kind of wages which exist in france people would find it hard to believe but def sure isn't to focus on a mark home because he's weak and is new and is a bit arrogant and he's someone who wanted to transform society a bit too fast ok and we saw this dramatic u. turn this climbdown by the french government where they suspended fuel price and

there's now some talk of reintroducing more taxes on the rich but is all of this likely to appease the protesters given that they're pitted to be rebelling against the republicans self. i was a mage even degrees measures a cabin thirty strapping taxes on fuel the extra taxes on fuel maybe doomed would have died out that he is dead now from then on it has been growing just a going to momentum of its own and all its frustrations are coming out and you can . dish it has begun to be done of control but. are all apologies for that we've lost our communications there was shock and awe much on comebacks and if we can a little bit later in the program let's move on for now because they've also been protests in the french territory of reunion people there say they're still struggling with the high cost of living and even miller reports from the island.

the french government has announced a temporary freeze on the proposed diesel tax but it brings a little reprieve for hundreds of thousands of people that the government statistics say about half the population lives on less than one thousand three hundred dollars a month ten percent survive on just seven hundred dollars experted to bid on and lived in this government flat for eleven years the pensioner receives five hundred and seventy dollars from the government every month she gives it all back to pay for government subsidized housing she says she's only able to survive by sharing living expenses with her sons who are also on government benefits. when you get so little money and you have to spend so much of it on rent and there is nothing left after we pay for the water the electricity and other expenses there is nothing. she complains her home is cramped this is a typical poor neighborhood in reunion the government has both high density housing

which people here say is expensive and in bad condition the spaulding where four hundred fifty people once lived was shut down two years ago but only after the government was taken to court and forced to act the national confederation for housing says the bolding is near collapse almost twenty percent of islanders live in deplorable conditions it says and is urging the government to provide decent housing for the poor little most who are in. subsidized government housing in reunion is supposed to help people that don't have much money the poor but the housing is expensive the second problem is the conditions of life in those kind of houses the damp because of water leakage and they make people sick. the yellow vis protests here have been fueled by the high cost of living on the island where most necessities are imported often driving up the price of products by as much as three hundred percent while reunions pristine beaches and tourist friendly streets look i

delivered observers say the disparity between the rich and poor is growing strongly i'd buy in and as part of a multi faith group that works to unite society and if you as the protests are a warning from people fed up with high taxes and i know fordable everyday expenses this is coming from the deep root of french. society we're going to solo governments will be very very very careful you know the french revolution and there were many but now it is going probably will ever we're all related years or more to feed of princes even overseas some here think government leaders in paris freezing the fuel tax is simply a bandage on a fish string wound. al-jazeera reunion island well let's go back to the french protests for a second and bring in but no he's a senior research fellow with the global policy institute we lost you there that there was one final very important question i want to ask you is there a way out of this political crisis for emanuel macro i mean there's talk of

meetings with trade union and yellow best leaders but how do you see this playing out. see that all depends on the bigger pretty and to now the recovery unit was beyond or you know of this now thing it is beginning to turn because of the violence of the last saturday in paris and different better you know verse to have another demonstration in person so today it is and people are becoming aware of the damage the going to mean they are up to christmas and every rise that the demands of the universe are full of contradictions we see them all the time on television and most of that done they don't make sense so maybe different figures mcconnell is counting on a french coming back to their senses ok there was some concern or i was with eleven problems of shock around apologies for that let's move on now canada has arrested the chief financial officer of china's technologies

at the request of us police manning one joe was arrested in vancouver on saturday and she's facing extradition to the u.s. on suspicion of violating sanctions against iran or ming as a deputy chairman who are as board and the daughter of the founder ren jang fate were john hendren joins us live now from washington d.c. john this is a rather complex story so what exactly is the accusation here. that's right there and this is a story that involves international commerce political sanctions in four different nations so follow me if you will on this trip around the world huawei is a chinese telecommunications telecommunications maker one of the largest makers of smartphones it uses parts from the united states the united states has sanctions against iran and it doesn't want to parts being used there so this chief financial officer ming one joe was arrested in canada on suspicion of circumventing those

trade sanctions and she will appear at a hearing on friday she was arrested on saturday and that will determine whether she will be extradited to the united states for this that whatever happens this certainly tarnishes the company's reputation and already tarnished reputation here in the united states and possibly there will be spillover effects in europe as well in the worst case scenario the company could lose access to those u.s. parts it's using to make those smart phones that is what happened to another chinese company called z t e last year that company paid eight hundred ninety two million dollars for violating u.s. sanctions so this could be a major blow for what way john as you say hall is a flagship chinese company so could this unrest affect international relations. absolutely already the united states and china are engaged in a trade war the us has raised issues of possible subterfuge cyber subterfuge being used by these phones denies that says they are no threat that they are in fact an

employer sponsored company or an employee owned company nevertheless the united states government has taken some extraordinary measures a president trump signed an order banning the use of huawei products at nuclear facilities and the united states and congress passed a defense bill that bans the use of huawei products in defense products and by defense contractors so this is likely to rile up the chinese government and exacerbate what is already an intense trade war between the u.s. and china daryn all right john hendren the in washington d.c. john thank you. all right tell us also to come here the news hour including criticism of british prime minister to resign may ever breaks it in the party that pops up her minority government. or egyptian officials are accused of the murder of an italian ph d. student whose body was found in a cairo. and we'll find out who finished ahead of the pack as world athletics performance of the last twelve months to come.

the u.s. defense secretary jim mattis says he needs more evidence on who was behind murder before he points the finger at he's under criticism for refusing to link the saudi crown prince to the killing meanwhile istanbul's chief prosecutor is demanding the arrest of two of the crown prince's closest aides his office suspects. helped plan the journalist murder last october sound all qahtani and nor graduate has held several posts in the saudi royal court he was one of crown prince mohammed bin sound man's closest advisers he's accused of leading the hit team that killed in istanbul brigadier general ahmed al assyria was the deputy intelligence chief of saudi arabia and he was among those fired over the killing series accused of assembling the murder team on the orders of the crown prince well another man also

reportedly involved in the plot to kill the crown prince his brother was also the saudi ambassador to the u.s. . left washington shortly after it was reported that he had disappeared well he's now returned for former president george h.w. bush's funeral all this as turkey's foreign minister turns up the heat backing calls for an international probe reports from istanbul. turkey has said it won't let the world forget about the murder of journalist on what is the istanbul chief prosecutor filed a request with the penal court to issue an arrest warrant for two former senior aides to saudi crown prince mohammed bin said his top adviser saudi deputy chief of intelligence ahmed siri were removed from their posts by king said a man in connection to the murder of. the turkish judiciary now wants them extradited to stand trial in turkey a similar request has already been made for the fifteen members of the hit squad that killed the journalist at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second

saudi arabia said it wouldn't hand them over before. until now we have patiently requested information about the investigation in saudi arabia but unfortunately we couldn't get any information in saudi arabia always asks to get information from us it's their rights we always share information with them but saudi arabia needs to be transparent to us and to the international community they need to share the findings of these investigations but instead we see contradictory statements. cover sobel also reminded the saudis of the need to disclose the whereabouts of the remains and to respond to all demands otherwise we will go until the end but if there is an impasse which is an issue we have been seriously contemplating about and talking with our colleagues these days we will not hesitate to go for an international investigation on this point turkey has outside support we don't have the mandate to do a criminal investigation so we ask we mentioned to the to the to the

secretary general that we thought it was needed a crime investigation international investigation. these statements and the arrest warrants follow an announcement by eight senior u.s. senators about the absolute certainty that saudi crown prince mohammed bin ordered the killing of america based on a cia briefing the likelihood saudi arabia will comply with the new turkish request is beyond remote but turkey wants to keep the pressure on saudi arabia and has vowed to never give up until justice is served and until the real culprits are brought to account. istanbul mike hanna has more now from washington d.c. . well the saudi ambassador to the u.s. . arrived back in the country purportedly to attend the funeral of george h.w. bush whether he didn't get to the funeral there were what were described as protocol shattering problems because of the late arrival of his plane but certainly

his return is not going to be welcomed by lawmakers here he remained in the u.s. for a week after the death of jamal khashoggi and lawmakers here insists that he intentionally misled them he led the cover up they believe of that murder insisting that jamal khashoggi was seen leaving the embassy alive when subsequent evidence has made very clear that that was not the case but senators here also having a sense of disquiet about being misled by the secretary of state the secretary of defense they continuing to discuss the fact that eight senior senators heard the same information briefing and came away with totally different conclusions they concluded there was absolutely no doubt that the crown prince was directly connected to the murder of jamal khashoggi the defense secretary even on this day repeating the assertion that he still needs more evidence before coming to a final decision so senators are present talking about how to forge

a new piece of legislation or a different piece of legislation that has already been voted on in the senate. talks aimed at ending yemen's nearly four year long war a jew to begin sweden on thursday to the rebels and yemeni government representatives are in stockholm aside from the fighting a famine zones are adding to the suffering of millions of people there are reports . meet. one of the hundreds of thousands of yemeni children suffering severe malnutrition is being treated at a hospital in. the clinic is struggling to cope with a growing number of emaciated bodies of the young. mohammad is five years old but war famine and abundant recession slowed his growth he may never be able to fully recover. muhammad's health deteriorated over the last year and we rushed

killing of the journalist. it follows a private briefing with the cia director on tuesday of the murder at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october but john hendren joins us live now from washington d.c. john this is just breaking but what more do we know about this resolution and when it will be introduced in the senate. well this is a senate measure that has been introduced by a number of democratic and republican members of the senate we just got much of this through a twitter tweet from lindsey graham a republican senator closely aligned to president trump but who is also been highly critical in the case of the killing of jamal khashoggi and it reads in part here's a statement by senator graham this resolution without equivocation definitively states that the crown prince of saudi arabia was complicit in the murder of mr cruise shoji and has been a wrecking ball in the region jeopardizing our national interests and on multiple fronts and it asks for

a number of specific things it says this resolution condemns in the strongest possible terms the murder of jamal khashoggi it finds that the crown prince was in control of the security forces at the time of could show jews murder and based on the evidence that was heard by the senators it says the senate has a high level of confidence that mohamed bin so mom was complicit in the murder of jamal khashoggi it goes on to ask the united states government and the international community to hold all parties accountable and it calls on the government of the kingdom of sound saudi arabia to negotiate directly with the representatives of the hutu government in order to end the war in yemen it goes on to call for the government of saudi arabia to negotiate a political dispute to its dispute with qatar expeditiously and in a way that restores diplomatic relations with kids who are so this is something that we've just found out about is something that republican and democratic senators have gotten together to agree on

a kind of sense of the senate resolution it does not appear to be binding order require any kind of immediate action or there will be a penalty but we will find out more as this moves through the senate it's just been introduced and that's really about what we know right now daryn and so what happens next john i mean better is other legislation make us from both sides of the political divide is trying to push through since the killing so what happens next. absolutely this will be one of those competing measures out there this one in effect is just a statement that says leave the senate believe these things we ask the u.s. government to hold those accountable without specifying exactly what those things are and there are a number of other bills going through the senate right now one of them passed on a preliminary vote sixty three to seven last week and that one would require the u.s. government to stop a disparity arabia in the war in yemen it does that by invoking the war powers act

of one nine hundred seventy three a vietnam era law there are other measures going through the senate that could do more or less the senate has asked president trump that is those senate leaders who were briefed by gina haskell the cia director have asked president trump to take a first response on this to react and if they're not satisfied then they would move to this legislation it's really unclear whether any of this would pass the congress one reason for that is that the house of representatives is still in control of republicans and all the republicans in the senate have gone along with this in the house it's a much more combative and partisan body it's not clear at all that the house would go along with this however in january the democrats who have won forty seats in that four hundred thirty five member body will take over control so if president doesn't do something by january he's now been given the message that the senate

wants action and that the house likely will want some when it gets into office in january all right john hendren there live for us from washington d.c. john thank you. mean all u.s. defense second of james mattis says he needs more evidence on who was behind jamal before he points the finger up meanwhile istanbul's chief prosecutor is demanding that arrest of two of the crown prince as close as aides mohammed valas mall from istanbul. turkey has said it won't let the world forget about the murder of journalist on what is the chief prosecutor filed a request with the penal court to issue an arrest warrant for two former senior aides to saudi crown prince mohammed bin said his top advisor saudi bonnie and deputy chief of intelligence ahmed siri were removed from their posts by king said a man in connection to the murder of. the turkish judiciary now wants them extradited to stand trial in turkey a similar request has already been made for the fifteen members of the hit squad that killed the journalist at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second

saudi arabia said it wouldn't hand them over before. until now we have patiently requested information about an investigation in saudi arabia but unfortunately we couldn't get any information in saudi arabia always asks to get information from us so it's their rights we always share information with them but saudi arabia needs to be transparent to us and to the international community they need to share the findings of these investigations but instead we see contradictory statements cover so go also reminded the saudis of the need to disclose the whereabouts of her remains and to respond to all demands otherwise we will go until the end but if there is an impasse which is an issue we have been seriously contemplating about and talking with our colleagues these days we will not hesitate to go for an international investigation on this point turkey has outside support we don't have the mandate to do a criminal investigation so we ask we mentioned to the to the to the secretary general that we thought it was needed

involved in the big coons says lawmaker marta tiredly. the real decisions are taken by an organization called the political coordination council and that's still made up of men so the real power in the congress and senate is with this group of men that female colleagues are still more likely to be assigned so-called women's issues low that slow be changing in a country with a far higher percentage of women lawmakers in the u.k. and the u.s. this hasn't happened over the years. in the critism politics that serve most of the countries in latin america the difference here is that women's rights advocates and lawmakers have worked hard to make sure that those are applied ever more strictly and the parties just call get round it they have to field and support women candidates that's taken time to filter down less than a quarter of local mayors are women and only three of the thirty two state

governors the playing field say up because it's still not equal women face a specific in particular from some right they question their their space they question question their private life they question the the way they dress and not the way they act as poly. so they are not they are not measured the same way men and women in politics those who make it into office like their male counterparts tend to be like to skin the better off indigenous women are how they represent their african american african mexican women i had represented so so there are still a lot of issues that need to be sorted out plenty of challenges ahead but also clear momentum for the country's increasing number of women politicians john hoeven how does it or mexico city or the artist bring in more now on our top story u.s. senators are introducing a resolution to hold the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmen accountable for the killing of the journalist. let's bring in lawrence korb is

a former assistant secretary to fence and a senior fellow at the center for american progress or joins us via skype from the genea lawrence korb how significant is this senate resolution and what message is it trying to send over the killing of jamal khashoggi. i think it's very significant because it's why or how senator graham was one of the closest people are to were president don't trouble marco rubio from florida was all solace will order it and senator young romeo so those are three are republicans in addition to your having are significant democrats like senator dianne feinstein and what it does it basically says not only view the whole arc of show here is the n.b.a.'s responsible for killing you show me you have to get a peace treaty in. in yemen and stop the blockade of gaza or so it's a very very big resolution yeah i mean the various u.s.

senators as you say provided perhaps a veritable shopping list of issues that they say negatively impacts u.s. national security as you say the war in yemen the blockade on cats are the recent killing of a member not letting these matters be buried are they. no there not because they really feel let down because the secretary of state. and secretary burns maddest came up and said there's no small he got more into really not sure and then they got the cia director who's also a bush appointee and had been deputy she said no there isn't back what senator graham said is there is a smoking saw because that's obviously out on his show he was killed so no there this is very very significant and it puts president trump going to very very difficult position because he's lost a one of his own already and is when the democrats take control of the house of

representative they're also going to be very very supportive of something like this and not as this is just a senate resolution at this stage it's not legislation so how will this play into the other legislative efforts by lawmakers demanding more action more accountability over the killing of some official g well i think what will happen is if. this will be the beginning of a process that if president trump of the saudis don't take action you'll see them now ask how legislation that will prevent all arms sales for example from boeing to saudi arabia now would make it very beautiful cope with them to continue to prosecute the war in yemen if they decide side they still want to do that and is this latest message a lot to put yet more pressure on president trump and the ministration officials that there needs to be a much stronger response against the saudi crown prince of the killing of. oh i think it very definitely will because not only yes we've got for example even today

you had church calling out and down the number of course they are a lot of the. what what happened people demanding it international right we will investigate this situation once like we did with the horrible things that happened in the balkans twenty years ago lawrence korb thank you for talking to al-jazeera thank you for having. tough a quick check of the headlines here now just six top u.s. senate says of introduced a resolution to hold the saudi crown prince mohammed bin salam accountable for the killing of the journalist. but follows a private briefing with the cia director on tuesday over the murder at the saudi consulate in istanbul in october john hendren has more from washington d.c. this measure was introduced by

a number of senators but one of them republican lindsey graham who is a close ally of president trump says this resolution without the quiff occasion definitively states that the crown prince of saudi arabia was complicit in the murder of mr coup shoji and has been a wrecking ball to the region jeopardizing our national security interests on several fronts but u.s. defense secretary says he needs more evidence on who ordered the killing before placing blame the president donald trump have been coming under criticism for refusing to connect the saudi crown prince to. the french government is abandoning a fuel tax hike which has led to weeks of violent protests a promise on tuesday to postpone the rise for six months wasn't enough to quell the demonstrations which has spread into broader rallies against president emanuel muck rolls economic policies the casket of former u.s. president george h.w. bush has arrived in texas where he'll be buried on thursday. he died on friday at

for nine years for assaulting an eighteen year old woman at the pump loner who one festival two years ago or at all those were the headlines the news continues here and as era of the inside story of that's what. you. after nearly four years of fighting both sides in the yemen war appear ready to end the conflict government and hooty delegations are meeting in sweden for talks but what would a peace deal look like for yemen and what are its chances of succeeding this is inside story.

welcome to the program and hasn't it could be the best chance yet for peace yemen's hooty fighters and saudi backed government delegates are in sweden for u.n. sponsored talks to end the conflict the murder of saudi journalist and dissident jamal khashoggi has increased the pressure on the kingdom to end its military campaign in yemen saudi arabia along with the u.a.e. to launch their offensive in twenty fifteen to support the internationally recognized government of the who the rebels took control of the capital sundown since then we've seen a conflict that has killed tens of thousands of people and left more than a million facing famine the united nations as warned this could rise to fourteen million will bring in our guests in a moment but first question one what are has more from those talks in sweden. for the united nations this is quite a significant moment because this is the first time yemeni rival factions meet

since two thousand and sixteen now as far as the expectations are concerned i think everyone understands that this is a quite delicate moment but this is what the international community and the u.n. are hoping to achieve here in stockholm they would like to start with some building confidence building measures like prisoner swap a cease fire there would extend across yemen it would be for about by means to try to consolidate yemen's economy and then they will start a political talks about. a transition to democracy a national unity government that's something that is going to take quite some time because for the time being the government insists that it is willing to forward only with the hope these make significant concessions if the talks for the war there would push with their military offensive to take over the port city of.

the whole things are concerned they say that we are the legitimate authority of the control huge area that stretches from sada all the border with saudi arabia all the way to the city of ties. but for the u.n. and aid agencies it's a situation that could further deepen the humanitarian crisis which is one of the worst in the world we're talking about forty million people on the verge on the brink of thurmont two million children who suffer from severe malnutrition and thousands of people who are driven out of their homes and villages across the country they see that and the port city particularly against the backdrop of the international pressure building up against saudi arabia and the united arab emirates for the need to stop the military campaign in yemen and and pursue a peaceful way out to the crisis this explains why there are huge expectations here in stockholm about the need for

a breakthrough that would put and and to the conflict that has been going on for almost four years now in yemen. let's bring in our panel now to talk more about this joining us via skype now from london is elizabeth kendal a yale specialist at pembroke college and university of oxford in san our we have her say nil haiti air hooty affairs specialist and also on skype from the swedish city of gothenburg a frog nasir a yemeni exiled journalist good to have you with us hussein and will haiti let me start with you that you then i think it's fair to say that no one people are realistic about these this first round of talks no one is expecting peace to break out in in yemen anytime soon these are going to deal with sort of confidence building measures the prisoner swap getting more humanitarian aid into the country and so on how confident are you that there will be any sort of tangible success

from these talks. exactly as you say don i think if the parties in sweden succeeded in building confidence. by like two to talk about how to a prisoner exchange how to keep the flow of humanitarian aid into yemen the opening of the ports and other humanitarian issue if they succeeded in solving this then we can see this as a good step they will solve other biggest block the security situation yemen the political situation the transition government but all this big issue they only will be told after build an image because what the boy has done which is different than the previous man is that he wants first to secure yemeni civilians to secure the income of the yemenis in the flow of humanitarian aid because all the toll that we

have seen in her in in kuwait and in geneva one and geneva two they actually they haven't done anything to yemeni civilians so that's why yemeni civilians have to be confident of what the spot is going to do on going to speak about this thing to keep them away from this war. to keep this devastated many civilians away from them and i believe that if they succeeded in doing this then we will see a good step that will come of that as we did. last year it was reported that the the yes the hooty delegation only agreed to come to these talks in sweden if the u.n. envoy martin griffiths traveled on the plane with them because they were going through sound the airspace and they will they were worried about what would happen to them there so clearly there is a lot of mistrust there that needs to be dealt with do you think these talks are a first step in in dealing with. this just something i think

consequence of the last. three months in geneva i think. realize that the u.s. special envoy has to do more to show that he's. late these undersigned all are trying to protect that and these peace talks but i think the main motive behind these talks in sweden is that the huge international pressure on sorry the saudi arabia after the killing of that i'm fortunate to be as tragic and pensions murder of the saudi journalist but probably one of the best things that happened to or the crisis and you know that because saudi arabia today with the united arab emirates seem to be willing to compromise and see. in the face of the international.

pressure on all of that but i also want to stress. the fact that the. peace talks are not happening as a consequences of the famine and yemen or out of humanitarian concerns we need to talk politics here we need to understand that saudi arabia wants to find an exit today because it's who is going to turn national. climatic relations with especially with the movement going on in the congress and the u.s. and also the economy of saudi arabia is also. declining because of the costly war in yemen elizabeth kendall what are you expecting to come out of these talks them. well i think you're right to be very cautious i'm certainly not

expecting the long piece deals again to come out of these talks but i think it is very significant already that we have both of the major warring sides together in the same place in the same location at the same time to face each other that is already a huge amount of progress but will it actually move beyond confidence building measures we've already seen some of these confidence building measures what we want now is some time to pull talks haps not to sort out all of the elements problems that the two most urgent matters that we must hope come out of the talks are a cease fire and some kind of agreement to prop up the economy that's in meltdown because both of these situations the ongoing conflict the lack of a cease fire and the spiraling out of control economy exacerbates in this appalling humanitarian crisis so much as it's still getting worse if the talks can solve

those two issues then the other really big questions can come later do you think there is more of a political will this time around for that to happen i mean a frog mentioned there. the killing of. as kind of increasing the pressure on the saudis and we mentioned that of the top do you think that's kind of made the difference here. i think it has made a difference and one of the township of pieces of evidence for that would be the resolution that's been going through the united states senate this resolution has been that with rule before the killing of jamal khashoggi in march and it did not make it through this is a resolution to try to cool u.s. military support for saudi military intervention in yemen this time it one comfortably it want to majority of sixty three to thirty seven that's to me is very symbolic of the way in which the international community is changing its tune we've

also seen various european countries germany denmark finland join the netherlands and norway in saying that they will cease selling weapons to saudi arabia for its war in yemen so i think barry's general will now to see the masses move on and see some real fs peace come to the table. saying it will try to let me turn back to you on this. how do you see that the u.s. is involvement in this. do you think you expected to change now as a result of. the embarrassment of the pressure that saudi arabia is facing over the killing. i don't think so if it hasn't changed after the brutal killing of journalist jamal khashoggi of the saudi deny it for many days and then they admitted killing the journalist chopping him in pieces and what the united states is clear about it's basically the white house statement that tom have said we

cannot like. give away the billions of dollars that you are what we have with so it is exactly the same with yemen most of the saudi. us were been sold to saudi arabia united arab emirates is now used in yemen so is exactly the same case but what what has made the situation in yemen now different after the killing of jamal khashoggi that international media like the washington post new york times and others but especially british media because they that they have found that they cannot like you know. as they say downfall muhammad bin salon because of the killing of so they found yemen as a case that they can bring to the international media to attack mohamed bin salomon and to bring all his crimes in yemen because i think that they knighted state and u.k. if they really wanted any peace in yemen they should have huge pressure of against saudi they should at least ask the saudi to ease the blockade which is actually is

the main killing of yemeni civilians because of a two hundred forty five yemeni civilians have died of the blue many of them children from some of the event of diseases like malaria cholera. that the saudi direct air strike has killed sixteen thousand yemeni civilians just imagine the most devastation in yemen is because of the blockade if the united states want to help be any they should at least leave they the port open for all humanitarian aid to come without any of that action from the saudi. not so when we look at the war in yemen broadly speaking a lot of it seems to center around a kind of proxy war in the region between the. saudis and the u.a.e. on one side and iran on the other although iran has has vocalise of express support for the hoodies there's no clear evidence that they have given them material

support but is it is it more about this war principally driven by the kind of factionalism within yemen itself and all of the all of the various opposing groups inside the country and that that's really what it comes down to that that they need to to come to a solution. when you raised a lot of points but let me go back to. one thing that. mentioned the fact that look i think it's very very important that these peace talks no come out don't come out with. any peace plan but at least it's very imperative that it has to be opened again and the blockade to be lifted the blockade is killing more people inside the un and then the direct violence when i talk with my family and somehow where the north part that is i mean the under the blockade

most of the appalachian live in the north part under the blockade my family tell me about food prices that are more expensive than food prices in sweden it's imagine how life has been difficult the magically of human beings and you know that so it's very very important and i have to mention the blockade and the. blockade but that the other point that you you talked about about the different many parties and and the conflict it's very important to remember that the who are has drastically changed the political happening in yemen and two thousand and eight when saudi that question began its military operation with political legitimacy and international legitimacy of the un security council with that is emotion twenty two sixteen. that is who should have never been

a pita and today it's really out of date and those will be needed to collect if you dynamics on the ground when you mention that you then you. have been vocally expressing their support for the police but they also expressed that they support peace peace talks and it's a critical factor to nitty that we take this moment where it all abused party is unwilling to discuss peacefully and and caucus on. the this conflict essentially began after the took over the capital sana'a by force in august of two thousand and fourteen which forced out what what was and still is the internationally recognized government of yemen what do you say to that . i mean doesn't matter of evil like i agree with the hotel or the jose or what happened it was an internal. case that in yemen when yemen we have had many

fighting between the north and the stopped on as well the fighting in central yemen and we had many a crisis like that most of yemeni president i mean in the last forty years has been assassinated in the north or in the south but we have to reach this point of an entire economy that has collapse that entire country that has been bombed and garbage bombing back to the stone age it just only because of the saudi direct intervention and involvement and to be honest with you if we see the saudi why they attack us because they said about that the hotel caused it to saudi arabia because they are right at the border i mean sada is the heartland of the road just across the border that from saudi arabia if they really wanted as they say just to attack the road if they could have come from the saudi border why they hike come all the way out to aden then to can to try to control all the coast of yemen to destroy all

the enemy infrastructure the main goal of this is to control the coast of yemen to control the island to control badman devastate which is which is one of the most important she'd been lying in the war and this clearly otherwise if they want to fight the whole the they can justify them at the border which the south actually has not succeeded the main goal is to to yemen and the hoses when they took power in into the twenty first of september two thousand and fourteen heidi has resigned after that i think three months he was chosen for two years to be the president and then they extended to when yet and it comes to that i mean his third has ended so they had to come up with a solution but how did they do want they want to keep going as president and now can you imagine on the top of the three it's now almost four years. without any election without any solution so that the start of yemen it will not solve anything

the whole the actually out of becoming a stronger and stronger every time we know now that they can fire missiles they can upgrade their weapon to talk about it in an involvement in yemen the saudi blockade that hasn't allowed for that medicine to come into yemen i mean how can a missile that's long or other. weapons and material coming together if the saudis not allowing food and medicine they have so tight blockade they have been yemeni to first in the course they have destroyed all human farming industry that the prison industry all the infrastructure water companies already does all these modified what does this have to do with how these i want to only get elizabeth kendall back back into this if i can does this ultimately coming come down to both sides need needing to to get something from this to save face if there's going to be a last thing solution and and does that does the global community need to put equal pressure on both the east and the saudi led coalition regardless of who's to blame

here. yes i think you're right both of these main warring sides need to be able to position any outcome from these talks as a victory for themselves but even if that happens and they are able to show that to their constituents then at some point other more in constituencies within yemen will meet to be brought into these talks in order for peace to translate on the ground and the reason for that as you rightly identified is that this ultimately was a domestically generated conflict yes it now has international actors involved but ultimately there are some very serious grievances that he sees half that need to be addressed as other outlined regions that that need to be addressed and peace will never prevail in yemen unless that happens and i should just say that unless that happens fairly rapidly then we could see

a whole raft of other conflicts erupting in yemen by that i mean the north-south fault line outlying regions secessionist movements growing sectarianism all of this could boil to the surface unless progress is made in these peaceful. so what do you say to that is a legitimate concern that if the if this if this war isn't a solution to this isn't addressed then there are other conflicts within the country that could also fester as well. yes absolutely and there is also on a very important stick and that is that the way that you and now yemen especially in war it's conducting. crisis. he seems to be having now and the third of the trial and error because the last time he also tried to evacuate some of. the members but he and then he tried another way are

having a navy quita tonight larry if you can fly so he seems to have. a step by step. and that's. really we're losing time here i remember clearly working your piano at the u.n. security council when there are u.n. humanitarian coordinator that we are losing the fight against famine and yet that and the u.n. special envoy seems not to have like a rapid and urgent and comprehensive method of dealing. with the challenges ahead of it's very very important to include all sides because the were in human is no longer about just two sides parties it's very important to include all the new different factions inside the un that and and and

also it's very important to include the women. and here because they had a present also like voices that never been included at the other peace talks. hussein was haiti is this the best chance for peace at this point given the fact that the who tease continue to maintain their control of the capital. despite the continued attacks. from the saudi led coalition that have gone on for most for years now. i think the hoti will keep fighting for the area they control as long as it take but the if they come with a solution from sweden regarding the when it hit and cries in yemen on the blockade on the ports and as well have to mention paying the salaries. for two years because the saudi has moved the bank from sa into a then after that i believe that the should be told directly between the hope this

and with the saudi arabia we have noticed in all the agreement either that has been stopped or the agreement that has failed before that the saudi has not a single paper of that they just imagine if they have issue with that with the hoses they do need i mean like a hardy or the government they just really with the and then they should make agreement both both should sign in this agreement and then the united nation will so was so but a vice those payments because if the saudi is not going to be mentioned in any u.n. security council u.n. envoy statement the saudi will think that they are not a part of this war that's why they still call it a civil war and it will be exactly the saudi denial about what what they are doing in yemen is exactly the same denial we have seen. in the case all right and on that we're going to have to leave it thank you to all three of you elizabeth kendall hussein and nasr thanks very much for being with us

consulate in istanbul in which one hundred joins us live now from washington d.c. john so what more do we know about this resolution and how significant is it. well then this is the resolution right here it takes six pages to say it and it is a sense of the senate resolution and that means that it is simply states what the senate believes but it uses unusually strong language to describe an ally of the united states these are a couple of the quotes from the senators who talk about the resolution that they have issued in a statement senator lindsey graham a republican and an ally of president donald trump says this resolution definitively states that the crown prince of saudi arabia was complicit in the murder of mr to shoji and has been a wrecking ball in the region jeopardizing our national interests on multiple fronts senator ed markey is a bit more blunt calls the crown prince a thug senator dianne feinstein

a democrat says he should be held responsible for the murder the blockade in qatar and for human rights abuses in saudi arabia and yemen it goes on to demand the specifics of this resolution which could be voted on as soon as monday and they were introduced just on wednesday they demand. an end to the war in yemen and a political solution a solution ok. to the dispute with guitar but more than that it out right blames the crown prince for the murder of jamal khashoggi and it's not clear whether this overrides or supersedes other legislation that would actually ok force an end to the war in yemen john thank you now the french government is abandoning a fuel tax hike which has led to weeks of violent protests a promise on tuesday to postpone the rise to six months wasn't enough to quell the demonstrations which has spread into wider about is against president micron's economic policies. to the yellow vests to all french people to you numbers of
