infiltrates one of the continent's fastest growing far right to organize. and exposes links to members of the european parliament and marina holmes national. generation. of the special investigation on al-jazeera. al-jazeera live from studio fourteen here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha. welcome to the news the search for peace in yemen our reporter found himself literally in between the hurt the government delegations at the u.n. talks in sweden perhaps the closest they have ever been in a moment we will speak to them about what was achieved on day one of these crucial

talks over yemen's future also on the grid holding accountable members of the u.s. senate put forward a resolution blaming the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon for the murder of three and it's also the return of been some of the crown prince's brother to washington after he quickly disappeared following the killing and china the united states canada and iran they are all involved somehow in the story shaking the tech and trade well we will look at why the chief financial officer of chinese mobile business quite a way has been arrested in canada at the request of the united states and. cuba for the first time. i have full access to the i want it work and. the hash tag. with the news grades live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live at al-jazeera dot com and for the first time in more the. two years

representatives from yemen's saudi backed government and from the who have met for talks aimed at ending nearly four years of war that in itself is an achievement now u.n. officials are downplaying any great expectations but they are hoping for some small confidence building measures the kind of things to help reduce the worsening humanitarian crisis negotiation will also center on the reopening of some of the airports and also control of the seaport of the data but in a sign of just how tough these talks will be here are some members of the warring parties talking specifically about weapons they should respect international community will they should surrender their missions and missiles that they're used to attack the yemeni people and then countries and that then that there will be no such event no solution they should withdraw from the traditional state would and and handbag institution of the states to the legitimate government other than that there would be no peace a statement from

a senior member of the government. saying that there would be no peace in yemen if the hope is to have weapons as well had. the problem of weapons is not a problem limited to one party of there are many parties who have arms in the south north and center of the country who believe that weapons should be in possession of the government specially in this transitional period so tough talk from both sides but the u.n. special envoy martin griffiths did announce an agreement by both sides on a prisoner exchange he also talked about the importance of these talks. that was viewed in the. yemen future is in the hands of those of us in this room. countries institutions groups the fragmentation of the country. is of enormous concern. and we must. before we lose control of the future of europe now before we go to rimbaud in sweden to speak to him i want to show you some of his work from earlier in the day it was

a master class in live television who is grabbing people for interviews on the go which you saw a moment ago and then as you'll see now he found himself literally in the middle of the story and then let me just give you an idea for our viewers to see situations are these are senior members of the government delegation is so how do you get to syria and other same time to this side these are members of the healthy delegations are the ones who control the capital sun are the other ones who have the upper hand in a way or another you wouldn't see them coming serious other second hand smoke into this other than shows the divide that has deepened over the last few years in yemen and this is the problem that the united nations is grappling to sort to try to narrow the gap to try to bring the two parties and and and negotiate a settlement. it will be extremely delicate difficult to the trust has been the trust deficit has been widening over the last few years and i think

this explains why the international community is desperate for some gains here in stockholm. and here's hashim now where at the venue in remember first of all has been tremendous work earlier really was tremendous television to watch talk us through what's been achieved today them. kind of kind words from you thank you very much indeed on behalf of the team here it's really an interesting moment here in stockholm with the channel remember with the international community confident after the prisoner swap deal they might push the whole thing is on the government delegation to extend that towards more dia's particular when it comes to the cease fire agreement which everyone wants it to be extended over the end and also who should won the port of the day there which has become the focal point of the fighting between the these and the government

there who these told us the there were willing to hand over the operations to the united nations but the government is warning that if the talks collapse it will resume its military offensive if that happens if the mr campaign happens talks will definitely collapse hashim i've had a question from one of our viewers on facebook henry who's asking about who's represented they obviously you were there you saw the who these there you saw the yemeni government you spoke to them both henrik is asking about saudi arabia and iran as are the major players in yemen are they represented there in any shape or form. yes sorry the ambassador is. to yemen is here the iranians are not were not invited the saudis accuse the iranians of being the mastermind of the expect tackler rise of the who are these in two thousand and fourteen saying that the who these iranian proxies are trying to destabilize the whole region and this explains why the where the saudis along with the americans in

a way or another were aggressively pursuing the the anti iran agenda in the region and this explains why now the hoa fees are saying it's about time the international community steps up the pressure on sunday arabia to and its confidence war in yemen and pave the way for a peaceful way out and. the international community against a backdrop of the massive now saudi arabia against the backdrop of the killing was about to see an opportunity a rare opportunity here in yemen to push to put more pressure on saudi arabia stop for and start political talks if that happens that would really significantly lead to a political way out of the crisis in yemen briefly hashim is there a timeline for these talks how long those everyone expected to be there. we do understand from all sources other talk will continue until the thirtieth of this month and the hope is it's

a shame we have had some connection problems with hashem earlier in the day clearly still going on but you got a good idea certainly of what he's been up to today in these talks while the ongoing war has left the region's poorest country on the brink of famine and we've also had the world program today saying there is an urgent need for open access to yemen as millions are in desperate need of aid. we need access we need to feed millions and millions of people the poison of the food disheartening to be so expensive the world food program is feeding today eighty million people a month we will skill up to ten million people at the end of this month into twelve million people at the end of january i mean that's a huge achievement for the world food program therefore that we need access we need access to all of the country and here's some of the numbers now from al jazeera dot com when you see them in totality they are quite extraordinary so we're starting

with seventy and a half almost eighty percent of the population needs assistance so we are actually talking about twenty two million people out of the yemeni population of twenty eight million. next what have we got almost two million one point eight million children and these are just the children under the age of five who are considered acutely malnourished eight point four million people do not know where their next meal comes from in yemen and that means nearly fifty percent of the population lives on nearly or on below the poverty line of two dollars a day ninety percent of the food is imported that is why the world food program is saying that open access to yemen is so important right now we're very pleased to have mohammed with us he is the country director for yemen at the norwegian refugee council on skype from aden mohammad thank you for making the time for us today. i wonder if i can ask you first of all if you feel and this is just to tie in what we're seeing in sweden as well if you feel there is some progress possibly coming

and that people are really understanding how urgent it is to open yemen up so that aid can get in. thank you for having me on your program you feel that the negotiation negotiation that is setting in stock on the move in the right direction and the fact that the parties to the conflict have accepted to go to the negotiation table gives us a lot of confidence that. will be laid at the end of the town or as you know without this is doing the humanitarian situation is going to get worse it's almost hard to imagine it getting worse isn't it those numbers which i just read out are are extraordinary. is there. is there are enough assistance ready to come in we're talking about access being a problem but are there donors willing to help if they got the money and the

resources ready to go. to tell you one thing that this is man made catastrophe yes assistance is there but us human turbulence we are facing access challenges to reach the people in need but the most important thing here for us is the fact that this is a humanitarian situation that is in me prevented people in yemen have suffered massively more than for more than three years in addition to the direct attacks on civilians by warring parties millions of human lives are suffering from hunger and cholera and the worst thing is that this is a catastrophe that is manmade but can be prevented by ending this conflict. it's going to take years isn't it to turn around i was just thinking if the war

ended tomorrow and suddenly the ports were open the airport was open today there was open and all the aid that comes in. got in there and the people are in such an awful state it's going to take years to turn it around is good is not defense because the whole economy has collapsed in the public that has collapsed. is much needed by. the by the population but more than but due to. concerted effort to revive the economy which is its is on its knees right now coming up the from the norwegian riff you can g council we thank you for your time do appreciate it thank you for the pretty well in the face of the enormity of this war in yemen there are some international activists who are taking matters into their own hands

retailer has been hearing from some of them that's right come all we found activists making personal sacrifices as solidarity with people in yemen pamela bennett lives in san francisco she went to twenty six day hunger strike in october to raise awareness about the famine the yemenis a facing and she's been posting daily videos on facebook talking about her experience and quality on congress to reduce america's participation in the war either by stopping arms sales or ending u.s. military involvement this is all very connected yemen threat is our friend is just the strongest the most concentrated there because they are directly profiting from the death they are causing our children i child every ten minutes so we must stand by colleen and brain and not just be for our for the for our brothers and sisters in yemen which. we just our trying to do is pull our power awful horrible military off them that you know. but we don't we don't want to just do it for them

but we want to offer also for our selves. and pamela is not alone the facebook page yemen rising sought a wider campaign to get people involved called fost for yemen and the goal is to have at least one person commit to fostering for twenty four hours for each day of december users can get involved by securing their fostering dates of this kind and and also get donations and emma is one of the latest to join them this is what she said on day four you know i have a safe and secure house i don't have to be worried about where my kids next meal is going to be coming from i don't have to be worried about an airstrike hitting my house or heading us when we're outside. i don't have to be worried about what's going to happen to us tomorrow i don't want to act like this is anything similar to what people in yemen are actually experiencing it just gets me

a tiny bit closer to understanding. and makes me feel a little bit more emotionally. connected to it and want to try to. figure out how to fight harder to help. well meanwhile on twitter this image is being shared widely at the moment highlighting that it's been more than one thousand three hundred days of war in yemen and this is a cause of days of bloodshed days of tears days of darkness sadness and well if you have a story about yemen to share it with us here is the hash tag aging is great thank you are here are so is peace in yemen within reach it really is a central question and it certainly looks like this is the best chance they've had in years. with the inside story team discussing it in their most recent edition which you can find in the show's section at al-jazeera dot com and as ever there will be a new edition of the program at seventeen thirty g.m.t. which is ninety minutes after the newsgroup finishes. and if you want to get in

contact with us as we hear it was saying please do use that hashtag a.j. news group twitter up and running at a.j. english nihad is our producer on deck tonight looking for your comments there thank you for your questions as well coming in from the live stream at facebook dot com slash zero a safe is a very nice reporting about the human war they need immediate help and that number plus one seven four five or one triple one four nine telegram and whatsapp if you want to message us directly we're moving on just now. yes the motive jamal khashoggi and growing pressure on the white house to hold the saudi crown prince responsible for the killing top republican senators amazing on thursday to discuss ways to punish syria for the murder of the saudi journalist this meeting comes after a bipartisan resolution was put forward saying mohamed been salman was complicit in the killing also has been some of his liable for atrocities committed during the war in yemen which of course saudi arabia ended back in twenty fifteen why we go to capitol hill here is rosalynn jordan rose talk us through what's happening there

and i guess the important word i use they're bipartisan this is coming from both sides of of the divide. that's right kemal and we're put we're talking about here are two separate senate resolutions as well as a pending piece of legislation also in the senate all dealing with saudi arabia two of these measures dealing with the yemeni civil war in particular but the bipartisan resolution that was introduced late on wednesday deals specifically with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin psalm on the resolution if it were to pass would call on the u.s. government to hold him accountable for what they say is his quote complicit behavior that led to the murder of jamal khashoggi back on october second the resolution would also call on the saudi government to find a way to negotiate an end to the civil war in yemen to end the blockade of qatar

and to negotiate a resumption of diplomatic ties between the two countries it would also call for among other things an effort for the united states to actually hold all those persons responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi including the saudi crown prince to find a legal way of holding them all accountable and that's because jamal khashoggi was a legal u.s. resident was the father of three u.s. citizens was living in the united states at the time of his murder now what is happening on capitol hill today at some point is a closed door meeting of senate republicans to discuss how they can reconcile action on all three of these measures there's a question of whether some senators don't want to have their names attached or votes attached to one measure or another but there is a gray area very palpable this growing sense of anger at the trumpet ministration

for not wanting to actually accept the reality of what has happened. and we really did see that anger ramp up in the last forty eight hours after the cia director gina haskell briefed some senate leaders about what she discussed and what she learned during her visit to alcoa in november about this monitor and this is what interests me rosalynn is the momentum that exists behind all the saudi yemen related issues in the united states quite often i think foreign affairs issues can fall off the right up that has not happened here two months more than two months after mr kucinich he was murdered and it just keeps ramping up what do you think that is. well i think one there's always been this latent tension that really hasn't been fully discussed particularly in the international arena between the twilight house and the congress traditionally foreign policy is considered in the president's purview but really since the beginning of donald trump's presidency

there has been this very quiet pushback against many of the things that trump has wanted to advance in his foreign policy but i think that after year and a half you really saw this frustration very sickly burst forward because one the united states house the first amendment which guarantees freedom of the press and very much as against the persecution of journalists for doing their work there is also the very real sense that it was a u.s. resident who was targeted by a foreign government to be killed and that has certainly outraged many people jamal khashoggi was well known to many at the top of washington politics and so in some sense this could be considered personal but what you're hearing from senators this week amahl is that people are saying that the united states has to stand for certain values it has to enforce certain norms of behavior and if they

can't do it after the murder of jamal khashoggi when with the u.s. ever being able to credibly be able to do so and that's really leading some of the impetus behind these two was aleutians and this pending bill that would specifically check the u.s. support for the saudi military as it deals with the war in yemen now there is this time line that they're running up against congress is supposed to go out of session a week from tomorrow for the winter holiday break and that's a period of about two and a half weeks can they get it done before then that's a very real question rosen joe johns in washington d.c. at the capitol building thank you. now beijing is demanding the release of the chief financial officer of the chinese telecommunications giant while way. was arrested in vancouver canada on saturday at the request of the united states the us

is seeking an extradition request from men on suspicion of violating sanctions against iran and a bail hearing is scheduled for friday the story with adrian brown. huawei is the biggest private company in china worth almost twenty seven billion dollars according to the firm's latest annual report it recently overtook apple to become the world's second largest smartphone maker mongering joe is not just the company's chief financial officer but daughter of the found a company statement says it's not aware of any wrongdoing by her the response from china's government has been swift and angry it says a human rights have been harmed once a media release and a reason for her arrest to avoid going to he don't let you go china has expressed our solemn position to canada and the us regarding the case china demands them to immediately clarify the reason for their arrest release the detainees and safeguard

the legitimate 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 spoke made clear where she stood joining her confirmation hearing in may would you purchase a war we phone or connect your phone or computer to a why we are the t. network well senator as i mentioned i don't even have a social media account but i wouldn't i wouldn't use wall way products among 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 he 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 let's try to tie with the given how it can be how could our white house correspondent in washington it's all sort of come a bit out of the blue kimberly and involving so many countries and then as adrian pointed out that timing to be the same time that president and she was speaking how do you think this all works together. well you know there are so many unanswered questions in all of this and that's why there's a lot of spotlight on the next bail hearing that will be held in vancouver canada in the province of british columbia on friday as there's been

a ban on this top to this point it's been very hard to piece together some of the allegations that have been made against man one joe the fact of the matter is that the timing at all of this is you point out is exceptionally curious her arrest coming at the very same time that donald trump the u.s. president and chinese president xi were essentially negotiating a truce in their tit for tat trade war that's been going on for months so whether the this is just sort of an unfortunate coincidence or whether this was time to is still unclear but certainly the financial markets are reacting to all of this given the fact that they had sort of reacted somewhat positively initially to the news of a truce and perhaps a deescalation of this trade war the fact now that there is this sort of escalation if you will with this arrest has certainly left a lot of people uncertain and that will only continue i suspect kimberly given that

president from can be unpredictable anyway but he seems fixated on china and on tariffs and she didn't he so give it a tariffs manal something. something like that yeah and you know what there's a bit of pressure on donald trump right now and it's coming from the u.s. congress once again because in all of this we've had you know top republican senators and also top democratic senators reaching out to canada sort of lobbying them for the rest of man one show but at the same time saying look at you need to hold your practices are support while way in terms of this five g. technology we've issued a warning to you and back in october senators like marco rubio and mark warner sent a letter to justin trudeau the canadian prime minister saying if you continue to sort of foster this development of this five g. working with this company that we've identified as potentially being a vehicle for spying by the chinese government utilizing sort of backdoor

technology in order to do this this could really jeopardize the canada u.s. relationship in terms of cross border intelligence sharing so donald trump under the spotlight with regard to the pressure from the u.s. congress even as adrian reported donald trump is trying to negotiate with president xi in order to deescalate this trade war there's a ninety day window and this is certainly not helping those negotiations thank you . just before we hit the break where is it i've had a tweet from. who's asked and this is with regards to yemen after we were speaking to the representative from the norwegian refugee council to visit when will it be possible for a day aid organizations to begin providing relief in yemen wanting to raise consciousness about donations but it's hard to know when i think pretty much all the idea or organizations would say raise the consciousness about it whenever you can as we said at the start of the show part of these negotiations will be two things port and the seaport of her data if those are resolved opened up again

then there's a very good chance of aid actually getting through in groups like the refugee council and all the items these who have there can get to work as they need so have a look at some of their websites i would say you know which in refugee council we've spoken to today might be a good place to start and see what they say there has i don't use good for your questions and comments thank you for sending them in this is the news grid and if you're with us on facebook live we've got a major cost story just for you now it's about why if you've tried it before detox team is apparently problematic and then later cuba gets connected the government launches a three g. mobile services people from access the internet finally on their phones. allergies that time of year anywhere from lebanon across to iran the cloud of baron's as more than one storm system the latest one spinning up has given

a fair amount of rain in cyprus so the preceding system still giving rain for iraq and sudden turkey northern syria and of course he sees around the caspian shrike produce a shower too even in tehran a twelve to restudy ten fifteen year the snow in turkey in the case of the cult is actually driving this development of storm systems so as it gets colder in ankara high temps are three units on saturday so it's generated more rain rain through beirut and for the south of course it's soaring up through syria and iraq that's the position we see ourselves in on saturday science of all this it's remarkably quiet wouldn't coming in from the west now you expect nothing to penetrate much beyond say the saudi border and it probably doesn't so middle to high twenty's to most places not particularly windy and no particular clad in the sky quiet time of the year in southern africa is a different story as we enter summer this quite a few big showers around and there's more in the full cost of the showers all rain

running from the western cape coast solicitor to as you can see it's green dots big shots out there. the important thing if you were walking around in beirut was known to be in the line of fire from the holiday. but also we heard gunshots i was the first one to flee the whole. battle lasted three days and three nights and there were no prisoners at the end control of holidaying in under control of 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 inn war hotels on al-jazeera one of our biggest strengths is that we talk to normal everyday people we get them to tell their stories and doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether that loved ones are alive or dead or

miami really is a fight to the worlds me we can get to washington d.c. in two hours we can get set on jurists in the rest of central by record about the same time but more importantly is where those two cultures north and south america beats us to teach it's a very important place for al-jazeera it's a big. bet

on the mountains here dot com and what's trending as well that's what roslyn jordan was talking about a little bit earlier the u.s. senate has tried to bring in some resolutions against the crown prince mohammed bin so. look at that second line philippines to target kill those huge useless bishops have a short on the word philippines president so have a look for yourself that is what's trending this thursday at al-jazeera dot com. group opec has decided to cut production because of an over supply of crude on global markets ministers from member countries tentatively agreed to the move at a meeting in vienna they're now waiting to hear from russia the world's largest oil producer a normally opec member we should point out before deciding how much they would reduce their production now oil prices avoids been a pet topic of president trump recently in fact just before the thanksgiving holiday last month he tweeted this so great that oil prices affording with a rather curious thank you president in brackets after that seem to equate lower

oil prices with lower fuel prices even though the two things don't actually fall at the same time and then just yesterday actually hopefully opec will be keeping oil flows as it is not restricted the world does not want to see or need higher oil prices if we go to vienna the opec meeting paul brennan president trumps not going to get what he wants there. i don't think so no the indications are i'm waiting for an official announcements are that there will be a cut the gist of the difficulty is in deciding exactly how much and it's certainly tensions within opec now joining me and she's champing at the bit because there's a news conference do you any second now. oil analyst an economist talked to the economy about the pressures that opec is under the competing pressures at this minute and it kind of pushes on one hand you know they're producing as much as they can because they were anticipating iran sanctions now there were so many way this

that there's just a lot of oil on the mike and on one hand yes they would like to take it out also but some countries would like to take barrels out that's also best to us time and so the president yes president likes to tweet about opec. about the oil price and so they need to calibrate very carefully how much oil they will take out of the market without getting the. provoking the ire of the u.s. president to call shale from the us could be averaging about twelve million barrels a day come twenty nineteen that's the figure that well that's the figure but i said that so that's a that's a little bit high i think the u.s. has has some six point five it's producing sixteen point five million barrels everything to get there so shale will increase i think the twelve point twelve million figure is a little bit high but it is it is still unknown out there and it was for the last six seven years it was out there and one always underestimated how much

a look come on the life i was coming to was that that reduces the exactness of opec's maneuverability absolutely and the other thing that it reduces the exactness is you know how much how many barrels will be around sanctions really take out and the third thing obviously is trade was what will the amount to you know if we suddenly localize supply chains there's less need to ship stuff around the old market seem to be a bit disappointed with the predictions of what is going to announce the price of oil dropped below fifty nine dollars this morning it's recovered just a little bit around sixty what's your prediction i think it will be around the sixty eight level back you know it's not just oil it's you saw what the markets the whole tech stocks were down it's a c.e.o. fred and generally when there's a sea of threats that doesn't bode well for oil but opec what level do you think they'll start the production cuts that well i think that will set it somewhere between no no pick and opec it will be somewhere between one million and one point three million together so we will see today what opec will do and then tomorrow the

rest of balance will have to be a match made up by the nano pick alice i'm grateful for your patience for hanging around with us i know you're desperate to go to that news conference to let you go back to your. hole and always good to hear from cornelia as well. new today al jazeera dot com is this opinion piece from steven wright he's an associate professor at harvard been khalifi university here and assessing causes decision to leave our pick at a time when he says the future of the cartel itself is under question and right down the bottom here you've also got an episode of inside story on the same topic featuring cornelia meyer actually who just so why left opec it is in the opinion section at al-jazeera dot com now a pretty exciting day for cubans who will have full internet access on their mobile phones from this week until now they've only been able to get into state run e-mail accounts on their mobile devices but the government's been rolling out this three g. network in cities across the island tourists and some government officials we should

say have access the internet on their mobiles for years there has been finding out more about what cubans can expect it just makes you stop and realize how lucky we are and i don't even think about not having internet access if we have taken it for granted haven't we welfare's cubans have talked about three g. mobile internet as a way to ease their technological isolation access to the new service will roll out a three day period to reduce the risk of its being overwhelmed with demand until now people have relied on internet cafes and one fire hot spots in public spaces across the island and those services are likely to continue because the new instead bundles might be too pricey for many cubans. there were in all of us here it is good to get mobile internet service but i think it's very expensive for the each worker here it is progress because we have to have an escape from work to be able to come and communicate. we have to wait for the service and hopefully it will be effective and good because right now we're going through

a lot of work. but according to government figures roughly five point three million cubans own a mobile phone that's a little then half of the population and only sixty thousand cubans have instead access through a limited program in their home it's unclear how many of them will be able to afford it the average monthly wage is thirty dollars and the cheapest package will cost seven dollars and while some online are welcoming the move there are still concerns the new president's joined twitter and organise and he made the official announcement on line saying the country will continue to make progress with technology but this year's a responded by saying this is good news but it's important to analyze instead prices so that it's available to everyone and others worry that more access might result in more censorship this person says if everyone gets to have internet on their phones will it come or will it will come with many political filters and also blocking of websites. the online content being critical of the government is

actually blocked in cuba an organization that maps a global global censorship on the internet says offensive ship is the in the country is carried out in a way that is not clear to the user and the service could actually be blocked or just simply have a bad connection while we would like to hear from you especially if you are currently in cuba tweet us is the hash tag aging is great they would not be cool to get messages of the mobile phones from cuba all of this happening in twenty eight saying it is clearly a huge leap forward for communications in cuba but do you know only four years ago and at least one part of the country a single landline in the house of one woman was all that one village had now does the review find a latin america program went to the sierra maestra mountains back in twenty fourteen and found an amazing little story. when really going. to do you mean trick is i mean you don't know what you're a little girl not. now then one day one of them on the lawn.

in the painting there to deliver me because eventually. you only come in for most you. know denim delivered him deliver. you're not here here like me. i am now. living. being again i am the only. one. and that is a film which is really worth watching in its entirety it is called cuba calling part of the viewfinder latin america series as we said if you just search for that you'll find the entire film there is a little fact book fact box and an interview with the filmmaker really worth

watching. right we are going to look at some of the other stories making news around the world now and italy is piling the pressure on egypt over the torture and killing of a twenty eight year old student in cairo nearly three years ago the lawyer representing julio genies family says five egyptian policemen and secret service members are being investigated by rome this report from charlotte tell us. the truth for julio virginny reads the banner it's been nearly three years since the italian students body was found in egypt and the family of five 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 origine 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 or jenny'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 full 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 pressure 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. and now it's the end of the year and no race it's so italy has suspended diplomatic talks with the egyptian parliament and announced 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 respond to the charges should be based on evidence and not suspicion. shelob ellis al-jazeera. now despite increasing efforts from the trumpet ministration thousands of people from central america aren't giving up their hope of seeking asylum in the united states many of course every day but they refuse to give up on finding that better life

hoda abdel-hamid has the support from the hama. it's the morning scramble at the border asylum seekers hopeful their turn will come to cross into the united states . but these days only a trickle get through every day based on a number system others like marked up with that then have to come back tomorrow or the day after or maybe for many more to follow but i will have when i was being forced to sell drugs when i refused they beat me up i had to flee here they told me to come back in three weeks for my turn not far from the official crossing some are trying to sneak in the u.s. on their own but nestle of guatemala with her two children about three weeks ago she wants to go to the u.s. at any cost despite knowing that attitudes towards people wanting to reach there are changing you're going. to want to get one it's still better than at home because there is work it makes me sad to see the other side because you want to be

there but i can't it's not easy to climb the wall but i won't lose hope. for her next stop is the official crossing in a nearby town of take kathy. but there quickly turned away the disappointment is immense when a cell like many others will continue roaming along the border wall to try to find their way in the biggest hurdle is this war but even if you get past it illegally once you're on the underside you're officially on american soil and so migrants usually if they make it will sit and wait for border patrol to show up surrender and claim asylum. the border on the american side has been fortified recently. any weak spot along the metal bars reinforced and it's closely monitored round the clock. is still not enough to deter sicilia and his friends they decided to take their chance after sunset they walk several thousand kilometers from honduras to

reach this point his wife and daughter are already in the. us they took the same route he hasn't seen them in three years when i just was too difficult to get a visa they want financial guarantees that i don't have a hope not to get caught if it happens i will seek asylum. it's almost like for a moment they're back in dreams seem so close cecilia looked hopeful as one of two groups reach the top of the war. they were quickly spotted it's game over but only for now as going back home is not an option anymore but at that hammy. region that has battled years of isolation and violence and where military operations may have stopped armed groups but peace and stability are not in the picture and so heads of state from the five countries this is in western africa are meeting international donors in aura tamia this is an attempt to raise billions of dollars that would be used for investment reports now from the capital not shot

the fight against the insurgency this one house starts here. a un funded to radicalization program in a suburb of iraq shot. these teenagers will not be attending the g. five so how conference and so as an exercise they play out the meeting. president mccall from france sets the agenda the west will give two billion dollars to its former colonies if african stop coming to europe. the chaldean leader agrees always happy to send its troops to war as long as france keeps him in power. money stay silent on the insurgency in the north and others burkina uneasy in mauritania are happy to use the money to fight terrorism to buy more s.u.v.s for bigger presidential motorcades the g five said helen for these youngsters is a tragic comedy with an absence of the voices of ordinary people and that sure we want human rights and more gender equality but for now we'll do with electricity

and jobs and perhaps more leisure centers but we don't get to decide what started as a temporary french deployment in mali to stop armed groups and during bamako two thousand and twelve has turned into a counterinsurgency operation involving un peacekeepers and the armed forces of five nations across a stretch of land as big as the united states six years on intensive military operations may be preventing the insurgency from spreading but it's failing to bring peace and stability to the. now the leaders of the sale countries are meeting to raise funds for development projects and then attempt to win the hearts and minds of people and surrounded with young graduates some of them have studied medicine when you will energy is already passed in the us tomorrow an employee must come into the aim of this coincides and so is to change their perception of. the area to a place of learning to happen attentional in opportunities. solar and wind energy

new hospitals and schools are some of the projects urgently needing investment funding here really hope that the international community responded positively because the scenarios are very clear. what your regular migration people. demanded. in security once again donor countries will make pledges but in the past few have kept them it is these empty promises that many believe learn young people to join rebel groups. what they say they want most is just to be heard. once again. because of. some.

promise. disappointment.

totally unbiased canadian and this talk about the toronto raptors raptors the i'm going to take you to the six as drake would say we talk here a lot about the n.b.a. in particular live braun james inside the l.a. lakers and the golden state warriors who are the real powerhouses in the west but over in the east there's still room for a team to dominate and the toronto raptors are looking most likely to do it they're the only canadian team in the league and have the best record in the east the season thanks usually to the form of kauai leonard on thursday he starred as they beat one of their closest rivals the philadelphia seventy six ers one hundred thirteen to one hundred and two leonard scoring thirty six points that's just one shy of his season high of thirty seven he has five hundred and twenty two points in his first twenty games with trauma more than any other player in franchise history . you know i try to perform every night. said this before if you try turning verse to good seems. it is very hard to do that you got to do it on

a nightly basis wherever you're guarding whoever you're playing. you know. games like this and like you said skip be a playoff team member in the future so. hopes were tempered this season with the departure of de mar de rosen but the arrival and form of laddered has lifted the expectations of raptor fans try to though have suffered disappointment before they've been crushed for nothing in the conference that means by cleveland for the past two seasons in fact they've never got past the conference finals and challenge for the n.b.a. championship raptors away even north and kauai were all trending on twitter today fans in tron are really feeling good about their team right now and couldn't stay off social media josh tweeted this rapper's team is stupid good they're elite on defense they called it genuine m.v.p. talent there dave they can play big or small here's one from corey the top of the

east is now more power heavy than the top of the west outside of the golden state warriors in a slightly different view from jeff toronto is kauai and nothing else trauma will be eight seed at best next year when he bolts. let's go straight to toronto and speak to wild say or basketball news editor for the scores so is that true is it is it. is he the only is he the only person on this team. that's that's not fair to say. the thing with the raptors is they have one super special talent which they've never had in their franchise history not since maybe if it is carter you have quite a letter who's a legitimate superstar definitely an upgrade from to martyr o's in what calamari is an all star caliber talent he might be their most valuable player specifically for the raptors leading them an assistant kind of he's the heart and soul the team. and that's to go with a bench that hasn't even played well yet the best bench in the n.b.a.

last season hasn't even picked it up yet this season and they still have time to get even better and the acquisition of danny green as well people are forgetting he's one of the best three in the players in the n.b.a. . this raptor see there's so much to like about them and i feel like it's not being appreciated enough and there but they're probably the favorite in the east and it's more so it's more than just quieter there i will sell after so many disappointments toronto are the team to beat the theme. for the eastern conference yes. when it comes to the playoffs you still have to go through golden state i would rank right now it's hard to not say that the raptors aren't the second best team in the n.b.a. when it comes to the postseason we haven't seen any proof that they can get that far to begin with but oh i lettered is a former finals m.v.p. he's won the n.b.a. championship in twenty fourteen he's more than capable of leading a team in just the overall depth of that roster they have

a legitimate chance but it's still everything still goes to the golden state warriors. do you think the raptors struggle to get respect south of the border. yeah but that's that's more that's more so because they don't get the same t.v. time and i mean they're never really going to get that kind of respect and so they can win the championship or at least get that far they've struggled so much against le bron in the past and i don't think it's i don't think it's fair to not give them the credit that they deserve as of now they are currently the best team in the n.b.a. they have the best record it beating teams like golden state they've beaten philadelphia twice they beat boston are ready as well they are definitely it's harder for them to get the same respect as the teams in the u.s. because people don't really get the same chance to watch them and i think that's the that's pretty much the main reason is they're just there on canadian
