you may feel overwhelmed but there is hope for. you. we together can create the change we want. by speaking out by standing up by taking action. be the leader you are looking for stand up for human rights. that has been there done that yemen's future is in the hands of those opposed to. the u.n. special envoy sets the agenda as talks begin to end the war in yemen. well come on peter watching al-jazeera live from our headquarters here in doha also

coming up a rare united front in the u.s. congress as it introduces a bill criticizing the saudi crown prince for the murder of journalist. the chief financial officer of chinese telecom giant has been detained in canada beijing wants immediate release plus. we want to be secure other countries that don't need to worry about fighting and conflict. betting on its economic future meehan marlo's the building of casinos to help create jobs. let's get going the first formal talks in more than two years between the warring sides in yemen have now begun in sweden in his opening address the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths announced that the government and if the rebels have signed a prisoner swap deal it will allow thousands of families divided by war to be reunited

the convening of the two delegations here is an important milestone. it demonstrates to the international community here representatives and to whom we speak to each other and most importantly to the people of yemen that you're ready to come together in the name of a peaceful political solution to the conflict. well the reopening of santa airport is also expected to be high on the agenda it's held by the rebels but the saudi u.a.e. backed government has closed the region's airspace then there's who date a port most of the food aid entering the country passes through there the government wants rebels to give up control before allowing more supplies to be imported but with looming famine the un's main priority is agreeing a way for food to be brought in. we need access we need to feed millions and millions of people the price of the food disheartening to be so expensive the world

food program is feeding to the eighty million people a month we really are skilled up to ten million people at the end of these months into twelve million people at the end of january i mean that's a huge achievement for the world food programme before that we need access we need access to all of the country live to our al-jazeera correspondent who's in rimbaud north of stockholm so how should i mean the foreign minister and mr griffiths are they signaling to the delegates there look you can do this you can succeed this time. yes they want them to show the world that they will come back home with some concrete results particularly when it comes to the peace deal now they made some significant achievement with the president swap deal announced today that an instrumental element of the confidence building measures and they're hoping that

there would be followed by issues like a cease fire to be extended across yemen before they can start talking about the comprehensive peace plan i mean what kind of authority should be put in placing them in many of the new future and who should have a big say but right after that announcement about the deal tension was building up once again with government representatives saying that the hippies are manipulating the international. community showing that they are the victims of the war and that they are not genuine about a peace plan when i asked yemen's government delegation chief many was of the same time the midst of foreign affairs about the future this is what he had to say about the yemeni delegate about the hopi delegation. they should respect international community will they should surrender their missions and myside that they're used to

attack the yemeni people and then bring countries and that then that there will be no settlement no solution they should withdraw from this additional state would and handbag institution of the states to the legitimate government other than that there would be no peace and hashem everyone's realizing i guess as well that this is not going to be a fast process it is going to be a long political process peter we also need to remind our viewers that yemen is almost disintegrating with the secessionist movement in the south saying that they are determined adamant about breaking away from the north they are here in the talks from both delegations but they say that ultimately they want to have a republic of their own in the south you have in the arabian peninsula one of the most aggressive offshoots of al qaeda operating in yemen and it has been trying to

expand against the backdrop of the instability in the country and you have the humanitarian situation which is considered the worst catastrophe in modern times and i think this explains why the international community is concerned they would like to see all the parties negotiate a settlement send a positive signal to the millions of yemenis glueing to the t.v. stations waiting to see more developments from the talks in stockholm i mean when you look at the. social media today the tweets from the yemenis desperate for peace for stability saying that we don't want to stick to any particular side in this war yemenis and we want yemen to be united once again. thank you. a group of six senior u.s. senators from both parties has introduced

a senate resolution that holds saudi arabia's crown prince accountable for the murder of jamal. the resolution says mohammed bin solomon was complicit in the killing of the us government and the international community so hold him and all of the parties involved to account but it doesn't end there it also says bin solomon is liable for atrocities committed during the war in yemen which saudi arabia entered in twenty fifteen the coalition has lost more than eighteen thousand airstrikes the resolution also calls on the kingdom to end the blockade imposed by three other arab states in june of last year and the senators want the release of the saudi blogger. women's rights activists and of a detained political prisoners john hendren now from washington. it's an extraordinary rebuke from the u.s. senate to a long time american ally a diverse group of senate leaders from both parties introduced a resolution that definitively blames the crown prince of saudi arabia for the

murder of jamal khashoggi the measure which could be scheduled for a vote as soon as monday condemns kesho g.'s murder demands that the saudi arabian government negotiate an end to the war in yemen and an end to the political dispute with could talk and release saudi blogger rife's by dolly and other political prisoners they have linked old at least that belies ng actions that m b s says they starting with yemen passing by the sharks the murder on took up on any other level it is the latest bipartisan rebuke of the saudi crown prince and president trump support for him we are with saudi arabia we're staying with saudi arabian oil and not look at the king of the same way senators erupted in anger on tuesday after a long awaited briefing from cia director gina haskell sort of hard to call this a cover up given the fact that everybody in that briefing last week knew that tom peo and madison were misleading us knew that there was no way this murder happened

without the consent and direction of m.p.'s of the senate is already considering an unprecedented bill to invoke the never before used one thousand nine hundred seventy three war powers act to force an end to u.s. aid to saudi war efforts in yemen. this six page measure would record the view of the senate that mohammed bin solomon is responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi and it urges the u.s. and the international community to hold him and anyone else involved in the killing responsible and a joint statement democratic senator ed markey calls the crown prince a fuck up and republican senator lindsey graham calls him a wrecking ball rare harsh words for the leader of an allied nation. the resolution fall short of calling for regime change in saudi arabia but whether president trump likes it or not the rift between the us government and its ally of eighty five years has rarely been wider john hendren al-jazeera washington opec members and other oil producing countries have gathered in vienna to discuss the

possibility of crossing crude next year now the move will look to prop up prices after a volatile year in the global oil markets the us president donald trump surged opec members to keep pumping to keep the commodity affordable all of this comes as cats are announced a little earlier this week that it is going to withdraw from the group on january the first of next year paul brennan joins us live from vienna paul over to you. thank you peter at nearly four hours now the opec ministers have been in their closed session cats are joining them but only for the start of the session on the qatari and the g. minister gave a valedictory speech because of course cats are is leaving after that speech he withdrew and the remaining members have been debating exactly what to do with the prospective over supply of oil for twenty nineteen now it's a complex picture there are several different cogs turning not necessarily in

conjunction with each other and the debate is whether opec can keep non opec members on site let's look at my report. 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 we shared that time that the tide has been with us till two 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's determined to reduce fuel prices on wednesday urged opec to keep oil flows as is the world does not want to see higher oil prices he tweeted there is also tension within opec cats or has announced it's to leave the group in january and then as 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 flipping and flopping every time it meets analysts point to the different priorities of the two big producers. i feel as though that possibly russia will a higher price than s. that the necessarily saudis do and that could create some deal tension there. just

through them there are reasons for the comments and through the general feeling of the market on 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. ministerial 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. now wednesday night the j m c of opec that's the joint ministerial monitoring committee met in the consensus coming out of that according to delegates that i've spoken to was that i got a cut would be coming i would as a seven month report they're not sure how much and in the start of the meeting the saudi energy minister. spoke about about a million barrels per day being the cut and that's the lower end of expectations

the markets have reacted rather unfavorably to that oil dipped below fifty nine dollars a barrel on those comments it has recovered slightly it's around sixty one dollars now but it's all to play for here in vienna. paul thanks very much. still to come here on al-jazeera more egyptian officials are accused over the murder of an italian ph d. student whose body was found on a roadside in congress. at our winter is marching in at a pace through northern china this cloud here you see is watches and we've been used to for a while that's because it's rather deep and that is the meeting place of the warmish air from the size and the coloreds korea from the north so we're on the best is five degrees that snow could be quite substantially as it spreads slowly

welcome back here with our jazeera line from. these are your headlines and back talks to end the war in yemen of now begun in sweden but envoy to yemen martin griffiths used his opening address to announce that the two sides have already agreed to a prisoner swap deal it comes as the world food program revealed that more than fifteen million people are living on the brink of famine. six senior u.s. senators happen to use a resolution that holds the saudi crown prince mohammed bin cell man accountable for the killing of jamal khashoggi and also calls on saudi arabia to end both the war in yemen and the blockade of cattle. opec members and all the oil producing countries have gathered in vienna to discuss the possibility of cuts in crude output next year the move will look to prop up prices after a volatile year in the global oil markets. now the chinese government has condemned the arrests of its chief financial officer. way technologies and is demanding immediate release she's mang one june she's been to change bank happened on

rights and interests of the detainees. well way has been under scrutiny by governments in the united states and elsewhere over its links to china's ruling communist party and whether its operations pose a threat to national security the cia director gina has made clear where she stood joining a confirmation hearing in may would you purchase a why we phone or connect your phone or computer to a why we are the t.v. network well senator as i mentioned i don't even have a social media account that i wouldn't i wouldn't use while way products mung was arrested on the very day the leaders of china and the united states where agreeing to a ninety day truce in the trade war between the two countries given her high profile in china and the fact that mung is well politically connected there is one obvious question was president from where she was going to be arrested when he sat down with president xi jinping at that diplomatic dinner in one of stories on saturday

and if not why not last year another chinese telecommunications company said t e was fined one point two billion dollars in the united states over products it sold to iran and north korea but unlike that t. holloway has not so far been formally accused of breaching u.s. export sanctions adrian brown al jazeera beijing well michael coverage is a senior advisor with north east asia international crisis group he says governments are beginning to take stronger measures to do with chinese espionage. but the general problem of chinese cyber espionage which is huge and has been going on for years in twenty fifteen president xi jinping problems president obama didn't stop and for a while it did decline but now a lot of u.s. experts are saying that cyber theft of intellectual property has started again and the u.s. national security community is concerned as kitty wrote us ecological advantage

threaten its economy and its national security and that's what's put la and other chinese tech companies in the spotlight because many countries are now rolling out five g. networks and the technical concern is that while one of the networks could be misused to acquire information from the chinese government or advantage and with five g. technology that's a lot harder to monitor so what relates these two issues right is that these chinese companies are driven to expand their business and they may not always follow the rules as they do so partly it's a corporate governance problem secondly though it's a political problem because even if these companies are genuinely private and independent their senior executives often have personal connections with senior communist party elites and members and then they have internal party committees and that means that in theory at least the party or the government of china could ask them to do things no one really say no so what the u.s. law enforcement and national security community is want to do is change the behavior of these companies to make them understand that violating u.s. laws or illegally acquiring u.s. intellectual property isn't acceptable and is going to be punished so in the

context of trade negotiations that's been more politicized that this is a long burning issue and what we're seeing now is judicial procedures because the u.s. government has gathered enough evidence and is actually pressing these cases. it's only is ramping up the pressure on egypt over the torture and killing of a twenty eight year old italian student in cairo nearly three years ago the lawyer representing julian regime his family says five egyptian policemen and secret service members are under investigation by the authorities in rome inshallah ballasts. truth for julio virginny reads the banner it's been nearly three years since the italian students body was found in egypt. that we are now at a very important stage we won't give up because we have taken a big step forward we never give up i want the people in egypt to know this we never give up this was originally while he was in school he was

a cambridge university graduate student studying trade unions from the american university in cairo he was kidnapped in january twenty sixth jane a week later his mutilated body was found on the city's outskirts the egyptian government blamed a criminal gang for jennie's family pointed at security services nearly three years on the lewises a telling authorities are investigating five egyptian policeman and secret service members she says that it's just the beginning. we have twenty names but many more people are involved we estimate that up to forty people are involved because in order to follow for months kidnap him and do what they've done to him many people when needed italy and egypt are walking a diplomatic tight rope over the case italy needs justice for a murdered student or not antagonizing an important foreign policy in august the italian deputy prime minister tried to ramp up production in cairo. i

hope that by the end of the year we can get to a breakthrough and that the meaning between the judicial authorities can take place as soon as possible both on our side and on the egyptian one there is a desire to ask for an acceleration agents. and now it's the end of the year and no race so italy has suspended diplomatic talks with the egyptian parliament and announce the names of the suspects. we waited in silence for almost one year because our prosecutors already had many of those names and many other elements one year ago and they were presented in egypt one year ago as well however we did not receive any answer egyptian officials have repeatedly denied any involvement and origines killing and responded the charges should be based on evidence and not suspicion. shelob ellice al jazeera the british prime minister's series m a is meeting her cabinet to try and convince them about her breakfast deal mrs may is under more pressure to find enough
