officer of chinese telecoms giant huawei. and i'm leo hardy and police are preparing the biggest ever security operation for a football game in madrid both baka juniors and river plate are now in spain ahead of sunday's cup at liberty doris final. turkey's intelligence chief confidant his brief to group of u.s. senate has on turkey's investigation into the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi is also due to meet cia director gina housefull it comes amid growing pressure on the white house to hold the saudi crown prince to account for the killing a group of republican and democratic senate has met behind closed doors to discuss ways to punish riyadh this after a bipartisan resolution was introduced which could hold mahmut been selman to account for. let's get more on this now from shavar tense use in washington do we

know what happened at that meeting between u.s. senators and the turkish intelligence chief. this is been a rather a fascinating mystery that we've had for several hours now since the turkish media reports initially said that going to be done was in washington d.c. and in fact we've been getting information up to this very broad cause which suggests that it remains a bit of a mystery we we reached out to sources in congress who say that they have heard that he's in town he's been on capitol hill that he had at the very least one to have meetings with members of congress but they don't know who he's actually met they do say or at least we've heard that there was no formal convening of the senate foreign relations committee for example that senior members of the foreign relations committee did not meet with how comfy down but at the very least they've heard that he's on capitol hill somewhere and wanted to have meetings with members of congress we're just not sure who he met or if any of these meetings actually took place right now but i guess we'll have to wait for the leaks it is a bit strange given the fevered rhetorical atmosphere on capitol hill that if he

was on capitol hill briefing senators that they're not coming out in and shouting about it right now because there have been shouting about the for some time now meanwhile we have heard from sources that in fact that meeting between the turkish intelligence chief and the cia director has happened that's what we've heard so far just in the last hour or so still a bit of a mystery about what was happening if anything going on capitol hill but we do understand that he. did meet with you know how spool of some point today. as you say but we. particularly republican senate says have been very outspoken in that views about the role of the saudi crown prince in the killing of jamal khashoggi and that has been a much more it seems that a wider debate about the u.s. saudi relationship particularly when it comes to u.s. support for the actions in yemen but what have we heard so far from cia director

gina haskell what is her position. well i mean we we know from the briefing that she gave some sentences ago that she was that concerned gave them pretty unequivocal evidence that mom had been someone was involved in the killing of jamal khashoggi obviously we don't hear from gina housefull or self the director of the cia they tend to be rather reticent i guess you could say having said that though that is that momentum still underway in congress as a result of that gina house bill briefing we're still waiting for the another procedural vote debate on the bernie sanders mike lee chris murphy resolution that passed a procedural hurdle last week which will lead to another debate which will lead to a debate next week on all of these issues yemen moment been some of the arabia that is expected down next week and in fact there was a meeting we understand on thursday which you know bipartisan group of senators trying to figure out which amendments to tack on to that bill next week for the

debates so that the whole thing just doesn't spiral into into legislative chaos because we're towards the end of the year there are fears among some sentences that a bunch of other resolutions on funding it will i'm forgetting about obamacare for example might be tagged onto this the senate will be will be completely held up as a result so that trying to sort out some kind of way forward a bipartisan way forward for that debate if and when it happens next week not doing very well so far we understand meanwhile there are other senators like lindsey graham for example who we've heard a lot about a lot from rather about to show who don't want to invoke the war powers resolution they don't want to go much further with what was passed last week they don't think it's constitutional so there are at least two other initiatives underway dealing with yemen dealing with possible sanctions against mohamed solomon in congress which we may see come to fruition next week as a way of trying to avoid debate and passing that war powers resolution and invocation next week that this is all symbolic deeply symbolic. but you know in the

end even if the some of those posts the war powers resolution one of the goals these are unlikely to perhaps to pass in the house of representatives so we may have to start all over again next year anywhere a symbolic but perhaps significant move thank you very much albert tansey bring us all the latest there from washington is shihab was describing that u.s. senate is continuing with their efforts to enforce some sort of accountability over the murder of jamal khashoggi meanwhile they call leagues in the house of representatives have been trying to take similar action over the war in yemen democratic congressman rock on a says capitol hill is determined to act. well i think his show you opened up people's eyes to the brutality of the saudis human rights practices and then you saw some of the reports from the united nations talking about a famine they could claim the lives of up to twelve to fourteen million yemenis that's on a unimaginable scale the worst famine in recent history in one nine hundred forty

three in west bengal took three million people and you're talking about twelve to fourteen million and most american lawmakers now understand that the basic issue is the bombing of the port of ho data that is not allowing food and medicine to get in to yemen and causing inflation so that even though the food and medicine may exist until you have a ceasefire it's not being able to get in and there is outrage in the capitol hill to say at the very least we need a ceasefire and we need to allow aid to get in the irony i mean new shogi of course was killed partly because he was trying to bring yemen to the world's attention and he was critical of m.b.a.'s and the saudis war in yemen that was his last column and it really is an irony that it finally has the world's attention in his death and that it took the a washington post correspondent an american resident to call attention to lives being lost when children are being being been bombed for years

and the conditions in yemen have been terrible for years but we have been morally blind to that suffering that has been unfortunate but i'm glad finally people are aware and i think the way we honor the show gay's death is to do something to help people in yemen on a former top aide to the saudi crown prince has been accused of the saying the torture of detained female activists earlier this year the ruling his news agency is reporting allegations that saddle qahtani subjected at least four women to sexual harassment electrocution and flogging as an unofficial holding facility in jeddah. the time he was an adviser to mohamed bin soundman until october when he was fined of the mud of jamal khashoggi. well our other top story this hour talks are underway in sweden to end the catastrophic civil war that's devastated the arab world's poorest nation at stake the lives of millions of yemenis who've been pushed to the brink of starvation the warring sides have already agreed to swap prisoners

they've also agreed to discuss reopening son as airport which is controlled by the hoof the rebels and has been badly damaged by the saudi coalition which backs yemen's government un envoy martin griffiths wants to shore up the central bank to prop up yemen's battered economy the talks also discuss ending a brutal siege of the century's old city of ties and facilitating the delivery of aid with the u.n. seeking to take control of the ports in the rebel held city of data which is a vital lifeline for millions most of yemen's food and medicine passes through there. are reports now on the first day of talks in rimbaud sweeten. it was a rare moment of agreement yemeni rivals in the region give friendly before the start of tonight's this is the first time divert since two thousand and sixteen. u.n. envoy botton has praised a prisoner swap deal agreed between the two sides but the political process and the

war will take time because institutions or reduce the fragmentation of the country . is obviously so. we must work. before we lose control of the future of yemen the who thiis who control most of yemen so they're willing to be concessions hoping the talks in stockholm would lead to a comprehensive peace plan not a model home now. we hope the other parts the serious this time the humanitarian and security situation 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 their influence has why did a client says the who these took over the capital it's

a thousand and fourteen but they remain determined their rivals must hand over their weapons before these a final deal. is twenty two sixteen and nothing more they should respect international community will they should surrender their ads in the missions and miss out that they're used to attack the yemeni people and their own countries and that then that there will be no settlement no solution they should withdraw from this additional state would and handbag institution office states to the legitimate government the two parties remain divided over who should run the ports of her data base of vital lifeline for yemen's food imports the who thing 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 eight agencies are hoping the talks make progress so they can deliver aid to billions of yemenis on the verge of famine while the political divide remains the biggest obstacle to any wreck thought of the human conflict the international community insists the talks here in sweden are a crucial opportunity for the yemenis to end the war al-jazeera the channel. well fighting is continuing in yemen despite efforts there that we were hearing about in sweden at least seven who see rebels and one coalition fighters have been killed in a province saudi and back forces are trying to push the who sees from the hills to the south of the town of damned has also been fighting in the central city of ties or the world food program has been speaking out they say that at least twenty million people in yemen are facing food insecurity more than fifteen million of those are already in crisis or in an emergency situation and in desperate need of

food aid sixty five thousand are in what's cost is a food catastrophe or close to famine level mostly in conflict zones and across yemen one point eight million children are acutely malnourished that includes nearly four hundred thousand who suffer from the most severe form of malnutrition this report is the he realizes our worst fears that people are starving to death in yemen they need our help it we are on the ground doing everything we hear the fact that report is showing that the number of people all the break of starvation is doubly we plan to scale up to about twelve million people is fast as we can depend upon the axis and the money that we get from people around the world so we need hill and we need it now other was is with them with these little girls a little boys are going to die. so for more on this story yemeni american political analyst abraham tabi joins us live now from new york thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us in terms of any for the moment in terms of the immediate

priority at the moment do you think that we have reached a point where an agreement is possible to avoid a major assault on the port city if the data. i think the yemeni the yemeni people are looking for at least some basic rights to be met they need access to food and medication they need the blockade to be lifted the sea ports the airports to be opened and the humanitarian disaster not to be used as a bargaining chip for both parties for the yemeni government under for the whole of the militias at this point i hope the international community can apply some serious pressure on the party that negotiate in right now and still eat and to have them at least agree and implement some sort of basic rights the yemenis needs right now the right to live to have access to medication and food which is not you know going through right now through the seaports on the airport so we face in the made

major. the turn disaster that is the world's most military and disaster at this point and has grown by the day and so we need some sort of serious ways to make sure the airports and the seaports are open and the food and the medication that is coming from the international community not to be looted by one group of the other we have to make sure that it is delivered to the people that are needed the most of this point well but of course we have seen that is precisely what has happened both sides have used aid supplies. basic necessities as a weapon of war will they reach to think it's likely that they will come up with a preliminary agreement in these talks for some sort of short term measures to alleviate the humanitarian situation to reopen son airport and to get more aid into the country do you see that happening as

a result of these talks. we we hope so the yemeni people and the international community that's their main demands of that the end of the word to make sure that food and goods are being delivered and to make sure that's not being used as a weapon for one political party or the other you know at the same time it is up to the yemeni them to and international community to apply that pressure to both parties and it's difficult right now that is a low bar for any positive outcome but at least yemenis are demanding the basic rights to live and this is what it will be at this point i mean going forward it's the you know looking at the negotiations today still and direct between both parties and the other issue is now not only that there is no frame or that is no real pressure that we see at this point and both sides based on their comments today they still seem worlds apart and this is

a serious problem for the yemeni people we know a long a peace sustainable peace would not be met without the whole of the militias laying down their weapons and handing over the government institutions but at the same time the internationally recognized governments they can't continue to work the way they've been an originalist. certainty about the genetics of that what i need is an hour and he's what needs to happen to break this deadlock how do you reach a point where there is an end to saudi led airstrikes there is an end to missile strikes by the who these on saudi arabia way you can get more aid into the country and ring fence had a death from the rest of the conflict as a way of helping the humanitarian situation. well it's difficult to say at this point but since they have both parties over there they don't agree to that kind of framework which is biden allowing their military and aid to get into

the country and the stuff of the crime that has taken place as we speak the saudi bombings and and the whole of these crimes and then they both parties need to be sanctioned they need to be targeted by the international community they need to be labeled as work they need to be some sort of accountability and the count ability comes when the international community needs to act as a party and to have some sort of moral obligations to have an end dependent and reza gate of a committee to investigate all these crime and to bring all these come and also the international criminal justice we cannot be continued to function in the way we had in the past it's been four years since the war started yemenis are being sovereign every day we see thousands of people being killed by the saudis strikes as well as you know the whole of the crimes but also in the same time the international community to sit in the side and watch and was having in yemen without any serious intervention we need to make sure that is no greenman that there will be some safe

zones for yemenis to go in and be able to go food and medication to make sure that the seaports are handed to and each will party not the yemeni government and not the saudi coalition but also now the whole thing so we need to make sure that the international community if they can come not come to an agreement i mean the negotiators to come to an agreement we need to intervene to make sure that the seaports and the airport and the airports out and mutual sort of a neutral hands where allow yemenis to travel in and out of the country but on the same time to receive the basic needs and till we find a way to basically stop this ugly word that is causing many lives every day all right thank you very much aaron khatami formally divisor on the u.n. secretary general high level final on there in yemen thanking. still to come for you on this news out from london social revolution our changing facebook's algorithm helped france's yellow vests to mobilize so.

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 her human rights have been harmed wants her immediate release and a reason for her wrist to warn you when you're 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. while 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 her confirmation hearing in may would you purchase a war we phone or connect your phone or computer to a war 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 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 de holloway has not so far been formally

accused of breaching u.s. export sanctions adrian brown al jazeera beijing. well always the planet's largest supplier of telecommunications equipment it's partnered with almost eighty percent of the world's telecom companies but it's been plagued by control the say the u.s. is accused of working with the chinese government to spy on american citizens as well as violating sanctions imposed against iran while way has even spog fears about phone security as it's the causing edge of the next generation of mobile networks called five g. the u.s. u.k. new zealand and australia have either blocks part or all of the company's five g. operations because of security concerns we're joined now from washington by abigail grace from the center of a new american security she specializes in china and its strategic competition with the united states thanks very much for taking the time speak to us we you

a toll surprised by this move to a rest. joe who as you were hearing in adrian's report there isn't just the c.f.o. of a large global company but is also a high profile figure inside of china and politically very well connected. well i have to say that i can't convince myself of surprise that mrs munger actually committed the offenses that the department of justice is living certainly as we heard in the report earlier huawei has deep connections to china's leadership also to the people's liberation army and certainly its sister accompanies e.t.e. has been accused of similar violations selling products under export control ban to both iran and north korea however miss monks detention definitely represents a serious escalation and the d.o.j. is prosecute prosecution of such offenses from chinese officials. why has the why

does the company say it's not been given much if any information about these charges why has there not been more transparency about what has prompted this arrest and more. sort of something more specific in terms of what the company has done wrong here in leigh. so personally i have seen plenty of information and press reporting and other commentary about the particular type of offenses that miss mung is being accused of committing namely sensitive u.s. technology there are controls on which countries that can be licensed and then sent to do so while he was granted a license to use some sensitive u.s. technology components and then in violation of that agreement took this technology and export it to iran if anything i say why waste statement alleging a lack of information from the us and canada to be a defensive mechanism and it's quite similar to statements we see from the chinese government and other chinese companies when they're caught perhaps doing something

that they really should've been doing so i take their statement with a grain of salt a difficult question to answer but would president trump of had advanced warning about this arrest so i think this is a really important point to discuss the department of justice and the united states has independent authority from policymaking bodies so if anything perhaps the white house might have had a pretty notification period of based on my own government experience but they certainly wouldn't have been involved in directing the sort of arrest which is a criminal offense as you know the department of justice and the white house are firewalled for very good reasons here in the us with our criminal justice system so i see this argument that miss monk's arrest as part of a us attempt to ratchet up tensions in the trade war to be really faulty all right well thank you very much for sharing your thoughts on this with us on the gail grace from the new american security center thanks. well now in

still cannot go home the main argument. there's no peace there are agreements but the wall continues and we the people that trash and how can we keep living like this there are the five presidents of the g five so how they've sent a joint military force in another bid to regain control of an area was the in the hands of rebel groups. we need to reinforce the trust of the people of the sahil in their institutions to help us put words into action help us with our g five development plan. and so one after the other international donors announced their contributions. in a matter of two hours they raise one point seven billion dollars funds that will go to development projects such as solar and wind energy a new railway line roads airports and even a new g five saheli airline. at stake is the stability of a region as big as the united states where most of the one hundred million people

don't have access to electricity or water or a hospital or school to go to. the european union it wants to stop the flow of illegal migration to their continent they are one of the largest contributors we need to do something special because the situation in the center of money for example it's really difficult for the time being. the extremist nor is reaching enough for us so it's important to to afford that through this spread of extremists is continuing in the future but can those leading military operation in this the hell also be the ones bringing peace not to these two are of refugees winning hearts and minds who will not be easy while the humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate so much money has been raised in the name of the people of this a hell and yet they have so far seen so little of it nicholas hawke al-jazeera

shot. sudan's government is meeting armed groups for talks in berlin in the latest attempt to find a deal to end the fighting in darfur it's more than fifteen years since war broke out in the western sudanese region and while the fighting is considerably reduced from its peak thousands still need humanitarian aid morgan has more from giannina in west off or on sudan's border with chad. for more than thirteen years this has been a lot of smiles home a displacement camp she was forced to flee from her original home with her mother when the weren't r. for reached her village but over the past few years in the camp have been doing telling or lower the. things here have become tough and we have children we need to cook and wash there's not enough water there's no bread they've stopped giving us green for nearly four years. i want to is one of nearly half

a million people displaced in west are four the worst started in two thousand and three when ethnic tribes accuse the sudanese government of marginalization hundreds of villages were burned and more than four hundred thousand people were killed and over three million displaced in what was termed as genocide a hybrid u.n. mission was approved by the un security council to stabilize the situation in two thousand and seven that same year the international criminal court issued arrest warrants for sudan's president and several other top government officials they were charged with genocide work and crimes against humanity the u.n. says the situation in darfur has become much more stable last year it announced a decision to downsize its peacekeeping force here by forty percent but more than fifteen years after the start of the war and are for thousands of people have yet to return to the homes they fled several rounds of peace talks have been held between the government and the various opposition groups since the worst part of it some have signed agreements with the government others continue to fight the peacekeeping mission will end in twenty twenty but with more than one point seven

million still internally displaced and over three hundred thousand living as refugees in neighboring chad the u.n. says its work will not and the departure of you know. two years does not mean. the departure of the u.n. will be working with all the stakeholders the government of sudan the u.n. country team the. non-profit organizations humanitarian workers to actually provide the conditions and the sustainability for i.d.p.'s to receive the services that they require but the humanitarian budget for darfur has only have the money it says it requires leaving millions in means local authorities in west are for say they're working to restore stability and encourage displaced people to return home. we've set up judicial systems in villages we've set up police stations for people to feel secure and return home and we've had a successful disarmament campaign so that there are no outbreaks of violence again and some people have left. camps and returned but for people like of the one point

seven million who remain displeased more needs to be done to reste fifteen years of war a conflict that was once called a human catastrophe and whose consequences people continue to suffer people who are going to alter their own geneva was there for rwanda's high court has dropped all charges against opposition politician than were gar and her mother. they celebrated it with supporters after the verdict was announced the government critic had been accused of forgery and inciting insurrection after challenging president corker gumming in last year's election she was arrested and imprisoned along with her mother but a three judge panel says the charges against them were baseless i don't know why. it is the us you. are hearing that.

we are at the very peak. this is just the beginning. of the to be the only not. the un general assembly has just rejected a u.s. resolution condemning hamas earlier palestinians in gaza protested against the resolution which a senior hamas official said and to criminalize the palestinian resistance let's go live now to our diplomatic editor james bass who is at the united nations and james this could have been the first condemnation of a mass in a u.n. resolution tell us what happened at the general assembly today and why it didn't pass. well very dramatic developments in the last few minutes in fact the israeli ambassador is speaking right now immediately after this vote that israel and the u.s. had hoped to get through they failed to get through i'll explain that in a moment but this was

a resolution that would have been the first to condemn hamas before the vote the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley said that this was a very important day for the u.n. today could be a historic day at the united nations or it could be just another ordinary day today could be a day in which the u.n. general assembly unconditionally speaks out with moral clarity against one of the most obvious and grotesque cases of terrorism in the world or it could be a day in which it refuses to do that. well nikki haley speaking there before actually what were two votes because then there was a discussion over the majority that would be needed for this resolution sometimes the general assembly operates with a simple majority you have to get one side has to get more more votes in the other

or they sometimes have a two thirds majority they put that to a vote and decided it should be a two thirds majority for this to pass and that's where it was put to a vote in the last couple of minutes in favor eighty seven countries in favor of condemning hamas against fifty seven countries and there were some thirty three stone sions now that does not reach that bar of two thirds the israeli ambassador danny down who's speaking right now says that this is a moral victory the fact that they got a majority of countries but he described it as a games of political procedure and said to the countries that voted against you should be ashamed of yourself so this still developing the meeting still ongoing in the general assembly but another blow to israel and the us ambassador nikki haley in their attempt to condemn hamas it has been defeated in the general assembly

an industry with exports worth billions of dollars to the european union. britain has been linked to europe through a common agricultural policy allowing free and frictionless trade for more than forty years post breaks it britain will create its own policy and there are concerns that a no deal scenario would cripple the industry the border issues might be problematic and so simple day to day trade might be might be might be affected but there is then the policy issue about what sort of agricultural policy britain would have into those circumstances and it's by no means certain that the current plans for agriculture following a smooth bricks it misses maze bricks it would that would then be implemented a u.k. government spokesperson told us while the chances of no deal have been reduced considerably the government will continue to do the responsible thing and prepare for all eventual it is in case a final agreement cannot be reached. back at the farm the how lost family are
