start of. this is the first time they've met since just thousand and sixteen. u.n. envoy martin griffiths has praised a prisoner swap deal agreed between the two sides but said the political process to and the war will take time the country's in-situ she's. the fragmentation of a country. is enormously so we must work now before we lose control of the future of the earth these who control most of yemen said they were willing to make concessions hoping the talks in stockholm would lead to a comprehensive peace plan and a lot of move ahead now we hurt the other parties a serious this time the humanitarian and security situations require all of us to come together and seek a solution we really want to deal. the prisoner's exchange deal is a small step forward in

a complex political reality most of these government representatives live outside yemen and their influence has why did a client says the who things took over the capital in two thousand and fourteen but they remain determined there. must hand over their weapons before these a final deal. is twenty to sixteen and nothing more they should respect international community work they should surrender their ads in the nations and miss out that they're used to attack the yemeni people and neighboring countries and that then that there will be no settlement nor solution they should withdraw from this additional state would end the hand-bag institution of a states to the legitimate government the two parties remain divided over who should run the ports of her data bits of vital lifeline for yemen's food imports who theses who control the area say they are willing to let the united nations

oversee operations of the port the saudi u.a.e. backed government warns if the talks fail it will resume an offensive to capture the city in the meantime aid agencies are hoping the talks make progress so they can deliver aid to millions of yemenis on the verge of. while the political divide remains the biggest obstacle to any wreck through to the yemen conflict the international community insists the talks here in sweden are a crucial opportunity for the yemenis to end the war al-jazeera the tunnel north of stockholm this conflict has pushed the region's poorest country to the brink of famine the same time as the talks the world food program was saying there is an urgent need for open access to the country as millions are in desperate need of aid . we need access we need to feed millions and millions of people the price of the food. is so expensive the world food program is feeding to the eighty million

people a month we will scale 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 programme for that we need access we need access to all of the country and we also spoke to mohammed update the country director for yemen at the norwegian refugee council who told us even if the war stopped today it would take decades to fix the country. this is. a test trophy yes assisters is there but us humanitarians we are facing. 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 be prevented in yemen have suffered massive need for more than three in addition to the direct attacks on civilians by warring parties millions of women is suffering from hunger and cholera and the wost thing

is that this is a catastrophe that is manmade but can be prevented by ending this conflict. to the murder of jamal khashoggi no there is growing pressure on the white house to hold the saudi crown prince responsible for his killing a top republican senators a meeting on thursday to discuss ways to punish riyadh for the murder of the saudi journalist and that meeting comes after a bipartisan resolution was passed naming mohammed bin salman as complicit in the killing also saying that he was liable for atrocities committed during the war in yemen or saudi arabia and today in twenty fifty israel and jordan now on capitol hill for us today. the fact that this is bipartisan is crucial here isn't it it

will be a stronger amount of support than perhaps usually with these sorts of. well that is certainly the hope of the six senators who have co-sponsored this resolution it's led by a republican lindsey graham and by a democrat democratic senator dianne feinstein they are hoping that they can get considerable widespread support for this resolution but they don't have a time yet for when this resolution could be discussed on the senate floor and then a time set to actually vote on the resolution and time is of the essence here come all the senate is going to be going into a holiday recess end of year recess in about a week or so from now and that means that anything that is left hanging as it were they'd have to start over when they start the new congress in early january so there is pressure but there's also pressure on the senators themselves and on their

colleagues in the house to try to get things done before this holiday end of your recess tenchi what can all of this amount to roselawn when we talk about. a resolution which would name mohamed bin someone as complicit in the killing what could that actually need to as far as consequences. well in terms of a resolution it wouldn't lead much to much of anything the. the only thing that would actually compel the point house to do something would be actual legislation there is a bill that has been introduced in recent weeks again by senator graham and some of his colleagues looking specifically at how the saudi coalition inside the yemeni civil war has been behaving but that would require much more work to get enough members of both the house in the senate to not just approve it but approve it in such numbers that if the white house were to reject any efforts to further limit

u.s. support for the saudi military that the congress could then override that top presidential veto and get its way that's the real rub here getting enough political support in great enough numbers more than two thirds in both houses of the u.s. congress in order to have any real impact but a resolution well as far as the u.s. congress is concerned that's really a way of expressing one's feelings or one's thoughts about an issue but it doesn't actually have the legal helped that a bill would have if it were being debated right now. jordan thank you for that update. the oil producing crude opec has decided to cut production because of an oversupply of crude on global markets ministers from member countries tentatively agreed to the move at a meeting in vienna and now waiting to hear from russia the world's largest oil producer to pick members as well before deciding how much they will reduce

production let's check in with poll brennan has that effect headquarters in vienna how is this will likely to go down there will be received. i think it's going to go down pretty badly to be honest with you the expectation was that opec would come out with an announcement a news conference just about an hour ago but that was abruptly counseled a very short notice much the surprise of the. all of the journalists and analysts who gathered here at opec headquarters in vienna now to sift through the reason for that i'm joined by john holmes the chairman of alpha energy john you are an old hand at these conferences these meetings what's your reading of the that the reasoning behind the fact that there's no news conference for this it's been a very different kind of interest to the search but they're going to have to cough it up to do it when we had the same situation back in june they wanted to increase how they came across to said this is what we're going to do they haven't worked out how they were going to do it and then put it off for the next day it was

a bad presentation i guess tonight they're still trying to work it out they haven't got enough so they want to have an office for tomorrow when they meet not opec producers and then bring together a cohesive statement saying this is what we will decide to do i'm going to be provocative is this an indication that saudi arabia and opec is a book no longer really calls the shots that that outside influences are obviously very important it means opec doesn't have to talk launch anymore i think one of the issues is that now russia is and then they need russia the make it happen the saudi and russia for me or the policy of impossibility to remember us you're listening to their greed that go with it i think that in the past they have not actually engaged with all of the members of those one member said to me this morning we all have equal voting rights of some of us consume more than others and therefore have greater political clout but i think has been happening in the past i think now they have to come together because i picture the really difficult situation shale is you know shell is building up and they're going to lose market share and now they can

hold it back they've got to act decisively and they have to act cohesively with all members on both thank you very much john for joining us you may have seen the melody in the back that was another one of the opec ministers leaving and such is the keenest to try to get some information the journalists are pulling over themselves to try and get just a brief comment from these ministers and on has been forthcoming. it's been anything substantial it's all going to happen tomorrow back to you ok thank you for that paul brennan headquarters in vienna. just before we head to the break some pictures from texas the casket of former u.s. president george herbert walker bush then he will be buried in texas service now underway in houston where bush grew up as he died on friday at the age of ninety four politicians past and present were among the mourners at a state funeral in washington for the forty first president these pictures from houston texas give ref to the servant with still ahead for you on al-jazeera

networks and the technical concern is that while weigh in on the networks could be misused to acquire information from the chinese government are already vantage 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 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 is ramping up the pressure against egypt over the torture and killing of a twenty eight year old italian student in cairo in three years ago the lawyer representing journo to jenny's family says five egyptian policemen and secret service members are under investigation by writing the story now from charlotte tell us. the truth the julie over janie reads the banner in. been nearly three years since the italian students' body was found in egypt. 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 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 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's a desire to ask for an acceleration. i know it's the end of the year and no race so it's only has suspended diplomatic talks with the egyptian parliament and announce the names of the suspects. we waited in silence for almost one year because their 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. two hundred people have been arrested across from string protests over education reform. was. demanding overhauls turn standardized testing and university entry requirements student demonstrations are
