this is al-jazeera. the news hour live from coming up in the next sixty minutes turkey's intelligence chief briefs u.s. senators on their. measures to punish saudi arabia. yemen's warring sides on a prisoner swap deal as they start talks in sweden but the fighting and the suffering continue. u.s. sponsored resolution condemning hamas fails to get enough support at the u.n. general assembly. stock market volatility after the arrest of the chief financial

officer a chinese telecoms giant. welcome to the program the turkish intelligence chief has brief some u.s. senators on turkey's investigation into the murder of saudi john this jamal khashoggi as growing pressure on the white house now to hold the saudi crown prince responsible for the killing a group of republican and democratic senators have met behind closed doors to discuss ways to punish riyadh jabatan see reports from washington d.c. . turkish sources say her comfy dumby turkish intelligence chief was in washington for prescheduled meetings with his cia counterparts jena high school on a range of issues including syria as cia director hospital has been leading the u.s. investigation into the crucial g murder after she briefed some senators earlier this week they said they were certain that the killing could not have happened without saudi crown prince mohammed bin sons involvement there's not a smoking gun there's

a smoking cell but only a few senators received that cia briefing turkish sources say fida gave those he met on capitol hill on thursday information regarding the evidence ankara has in because shoghi murder as well as the information ankara has supplied to the administration in washington senators are considering three lines of action against saudi arabia not just as a result of the khashoggi killing but the humanitarian disaster that's been caused by saudi action in yemen the a's are sixty three the nays are thirty seven the motion is agreed to first a procedural vote is expected next week following a vote to move a resolution on invoking the war powers act to end u.s. participation in the yemen war to the senate floor last week if successful a debate will begin and a final vote held meanwhile senators have also proposed a bill to suspend arms sales to saudi arabia and a resolution to personally hold the saudi crown prince responsible for the crucial g. murder some senators who voted to advance the war powers resolution last week now say

they would prefer going down these legislative routes instead but while any action by the senate will be a symbolic but historic breach of the u.s. saudi relationship none of these measures are expected to reach the president's desk as the leadership of the house of representatives have shown no willingness to also vote on the measures but following november's democratic success there in the midterm elections that may soon change if i were the saudi government i would be very concerned now obviously no one wants to see the total destabilization of saudi arabia but the special relationship with the saudis and the arms sales and the us support really have been called into question the trumpeters station though says it remains firm in its support for the saudi government she ever turns the outer zero washington. members of the u.s. house of representatives are trying to put pressure on saudi arabia over the war in yemen earlier democratic congressman roe conn a toll down to zero more about the mood on capitol hill well i think the show he

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 thousand nine hundred three in west bengal all 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 cease fire it's not being able to get in and there is outrage in on the capitol hill to say at the very least we need a ceasefire and we need to allow aid to get in because 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 because show these death is to do something to help people in yemen. meanwhile the u.n. envoy to yemen has called for both sides in the four year long water end the violence now it made the comments at the start of talks in sweden the day began with some progress with agreement over a prisoner swap bar reports on remember in sweden. it was

a rare moment of agreement yet many rivals engaging in friendly chat before the start of talks this is the first time they've met says to 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 because institutions are gross the fragmentation the country. is enormously so we must work. before we lose control of the future of europe the earth is 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 money to him now and we hope the other parties are 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 their influence has why did a client says the who things took over the capital it's a thousand and fourteen but they remain determined there. must hand over their weapons before there is a final deal on said. it's twenty two sixteen and nothing more they should respect international community wote they should surrender their ads in the missions and missiles that they're used to attack the yemeni people and their own countries and that then that there will be no settlement nor solution they should withdraw from this additional state would and handbag institution offer states to the legitimate government the two parties remain divided over who should run the ports of her data it's a vital lifeline for yemen's food imports who think 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 millions of yemenis on the verge of famine 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. well as those talks take place in sweden back in yemen the fighting continues at least seven who these men one soldier from a saudi in iraq to coalition have been killed in al donna province coalition forces are trying to push the who are these from the hills to the south of the town of dumps that's also been fighting in the central city of tal use the human cost of

the war has been enormous gupta explains it was once known as happy arabia but today yemen has become the epicenter of the world's worst humanitarian crisis twenty million people that seventy percent of its entire population don't have enough food the conflict has particularly taken a toll of children one point eight million of them are acutely malnourished now yemen was already the middle east's poorest nation but this conflict has worsened its problems to the extent that people living in these large areas marked in red there could soon face famine and here is why the accusations that the saudi u.a.e. coalition is using starvation as a weapon of war yemen relies on food imports and access to most of these ports are heavily monitored and restricted by the coalition fighting has destructed its supplies from the hooty controlled port of where they about where eighty percent of

humanitarian and commercial supplies come in the saudi way back yemeni government is also accused of waging an economic war against people living in who they controlled areas by withholding the salaries for months leading to a complete collapse of government services the price of food have increased by a hundred and fifty percent the cost of fuel has shot up two hundred ten percent in the last three years simply put the reality behind those numbers is this if the war continues yemen could face the world's worst famine in hundred years. well earlier my colleague come all santa maria spoke to mohammad the country director for yemen at the norwegian refugee council he says even if the war stopped today it would take decades to repair the damage we feel that the negotiation do negotiation that is setting in stock. in the right direction and the fact that the parties to the

conflict accepted to go to the negotiation table gives us a lot of confidence that. we will be late for the end of the tunnel as you know with all of this this deal 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 enough assistance ready to come in we're talking about access being a problem but donors willing to help if they got the money and the resources ready to go. wanting that. apostrophe yes assistance is there but. we are facing. challenges to reach the people in need but the most important thing. for us is the fact that this is a humanitarian situation that prevented people in yemen have suffered massively for

more than three years in addition to the direct attacks and civilians by warring parties millions of human lives are suffering from hunger and cholera. and the wost thing is that this 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 air port was open and how data was open and all the aid get comes and got in there i mean people are in such an awful state it's going to take years to turn around it's going to take years if not decades because the whole economy has collapsed in the public that has collapsed. it is much needed by. the by the population but more than but. concerted effort to revive the economy which is. on its knees right now. now financial markets are taking

a beating off of the surprise the rest of the chinese executive among one joe faces extradition from canada to the u.s. on suspicion of violating sanctions against iran some of his fear this could worse next trade fight between the u.s. and china but the latest from washington. from the very start it was going to be a day of losses stocks losing value at a fast clip on concerns the u.s. and china trade dispute is only going to get worse this is happening after news broke that at the request of the u.s. canada arrested when joe the chief financial officer of wall way the giant chinese technology company she is also the daughter of its founder quote way is a really big company and china and munch you know is considered you know tech royalty she is the c.e.o. of the company and so she's a big deal in china her arrest happened saturday the same time that u.s. president donald trump was meeting with his counterpart president paying hoping to

calm fears of an escalating trade war announcing a ninety day truce of sorts in an interview with national public radio the u.s. national security adviser was asked if the president knew about the arrest during the dinner i don't know the answer that i knew in advance but this is something that that we get from the justice department and and that these kinds of things happen with some frequency we certainly don't inform the president on every one of them and bolton wouldn't say nor would anyone else in the u.s. government what she was arrested for although some senators implied it had to do with potentially violating sanctions on iran the canadian prime minister seemed to add to the mystery with the appropriate authorities took the decisions in this case we were advised by them with a few days notice that this was in the works but of course there was no cage meant for involvement in the political level the chinese are. condemning this and

demanding her release the timing of the arrest on the same day as the meeting could be seen as a deliberate move to send a message but experts say that might not be the case though or enforcement processes work on their own schedule and people sometimes don't understand that about the united states is the department of justice does not consult with the president when they're going to make an arrest we'll know more on friday when mom makes her first appearance in court what happens there could impact more than just her freedom but fortunes across the globe. to call him al-jazeera washington. and china correspondent adrian brown joins us live now from beijing agents how does the chinese government feel that meng's arrest was politically motivated. well yes i think in some ways that it does reading between the lines from official statements been getting from china's government i think there's certainly a feeling that the timing of monk's arrest is suspicious to say the least coming

just a few hours after that meeting between president xi jinping and president donald trump to try to secure a fragile truce in the country's ongoing trade war when you go online the comments there a pretty forthright they certainly believe that the arrest is politically motivated a lot of people saying that canada has become the u.s. is dog and that you know canada is now doing the u.s. is bidding also some comments quite interestingly questioning and hoping that mung was not traveling on a foreign passport because they say if she was this could be potentially embarrassing to china's government we heard there from john bolton the national security adviser in that earlier package saying that he knew that this arrest was going to happen but the president didn't of course munk herself has requested a publication ban on all details concerning the case which is why we don't know

what the specific charges are against or of course china's government continues to insist that he wants to know exactly why she's being detained and what the charges are that she could possibly face so yes it's certainly complicating the ongoing talks between china and the united states over trying to resolve their trade differences interestingly president from has again tweeted that he believes a deal can be done china's commerce ministry has also been sending out a soothing message saying that they want to begin immediately to address the issues that were discussed in that meeting in one of stories in particular two areas like taxes on u.s. cars and also china perhaps buying more agricultural goods from the united states so for the moment it's. seems like it's business as usual but there is a big question there and could a deal really be done if monk ended up being extradited to the united states even know that extradition process could go on really for many many weeks all right

adrian brown there in the chinese capital adrian thank you for loss also to come here on the news hour including social revolution how a change in facebook's algorithm helped france's yell at this protest as to mobilize. pleas for russia to release ukrainian sailors who were captured during a naval confrontation. and in sports the players aiming to ensure football rather than violence is the focus of sunday's copa libertadores fight that's also to come . now u.s. sponsored draft resolution that would have condemned the palestinian group hamas has failed to pass in the u.n. general assembly the resolution didn't get enough votes to reach the required two thirds majority u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley told the assembly that it could make history and called hamas one of the most obvious and grotesque cases of terrorism in the world the vote on the resolution got the support of eighty seven nations fifty seven countries voted

against while thirty three abstained without a serious diplomatic editor james bays has more from the u.n. this was one of the final acts of ambassador nikki haley before she leaves her post she put before the general assembly a resolution condemning hamas as a terrorist organization the united nations has never what cast a resolution condemning hamas never over seven hundred resolutions condemning israel and not one single resolution condemning hamas that more than anything else is a condemnation of the united nations itself. today in this moment the united nations can change that awful record in a tense meeting the general assembly first had to decide how the resolution would be voted on it had a vote on whether it would be a simple majority or

a two thirds majority that result was very narrow but went in favor of two thirds giving a much higher bar for ambassador haley's resolution and when it was finally voted on she got a majority but she didn't get the two thirds a blow to the u.s. ambassador but both she and israel said this was a moral victory well ali abunimah is the co-founder of electronic intifada that's an independent online news publication he says the failure of the resolution is significant. this resolution was really just an attempt to weaponize the u.s. against the palestinian people against their legitimate rights and the resolution itself the text was just transparently israeli talking points didn't mention military occupation didn't mention the seas that siege of gaza didn't mention israel daily attacks against palestinians in gaza and the west bank so i

think the world saw through it and they are rightly rejected it is of course saudi arabia and the u.a.e. and some others including qatar by the way have been cozying up to israel and its lobby i think we should be fair about naming all the countries involved in that all the puppet at least has been trying to mitigate some of the worst effects of what israel is doing to palestinians in gaza nonetheless all these countries have. you know sort of pander stalin or sort of informal relations with israel to a greater or lesser extent but the fact that they voted against this shows that those relationships are really really unpopular they can't go against popular sentiment and and openly back israel they can only back israel sort of behind the scenes you know u.s. president donald trump has picked the new it to be the new ambassador to the u.n.

at the moment she's a spokeswoman for the u.s. state department her nomination would need to be endorsed by the republican controlled senate and she replaced nikki haley who announced her resignation in october she needs the post at the end of the year. eccles president says it's safe for the wiki leaks founder julian assange is to leave the embassy in london where he's been living for six years then in marino says he's received assurances from the british government that assad will not be extradited to a country where he'd face the death penalty prosecutors in the u.s. are believed to be preparing a criminal case against him over we can exist closure of classified military documents eighty nine thousand police are being deployed across france on saturday ahead of more demonstrations against president emanuel macro the eiffel tower in paris will close with a city fearing a repeat of last week's riots across crap to fuel price rise that triggered the protests which of since expanded to other issues let me try to reports on how the so-called yell of this movement took off. it was the worst violence seen on the

streets of central paris since the uprising in may nine hundred sixty eight scores of people were hurt and hundreds arrested in battles with riot police last saturday it all began with a petition posted on facebook by this woman in may calling for a drop in fuel prices at the pumps a million hits and six months later she was live streaming to followers driving to the first of the yellow vest protests in november. we're streaming live lots of roads have been blocked by the police. the truck driver eric drew eg call for national blockade against fuel prices on his facebook page it's now received seventeen million hits but it's mark zuckerberg who is behind their success or a chief executive of facebook introduced a new algorithm this year for the company's news feed with this update we will

prioritize posts that spark conversations and meaningful interaction between people . the result has been the internet gets flooded by the yellow vests groups and pages from traditional media outlets are to get a look in and now that they have to draw from this. huge tax they realize that's not enough anymore so i think macro is paying big time on these them because he makes the game game for him to play it was tom who came up with the idea the yellow vests should become the symbol of the protest in a facebook video posted from the south of france it's received more than five million hits i hope something will change and fresh people will be motivated and go out traditional forms of journalism are taking a beating television reporters were pushed away by demonstrators join the protests last week media academics say according to the demonstrators the real expressions

of people can only be found on facebook and journalists are just another elite who are out of touch with the voice of the matter. now students have joined the protests the demonstrations are gaining momentum at this high school north of the capital one hundred forty six of them were arrested by police after clashes and herded into a garden david chaytor al-jazeera paris police in greece of fired tear gas at student demonstrators they were marking ten years since the fatal police shooting of a teenager the two thousand and eight killing led to weeks of riots and looting across the country more than two thousand police have been deployed to athens ahead of the annual marches. now the wife of a ukrainian intelligence officer held captive by russia has appealed to president vladimir putin for his release. was one of twenty three servicemen captured after three ukrainian boats were fired on in the black sea last month moscow has accused of orchestrating the confrontation and says the boats were in russian waters under

was sworn into office the government set up a special task force to focus on media security proof it says of its commitment to press freedom it meant rappler scase is different. you do not believe it rather than using. birth. they claim to really. say that they are. but then again we have to check in with our law last year reporters without borders calls the philippines the deadliest country for media in asia and what is happening here reflects a growing on the mosty towards journalists worldwide and that to be openly encouraged by political leaders and authoritarian regimes pose a threat to democracy. the center for media freedom and responsibility focuses on the rights of filipino journalists it says there have been more than eighty attacks on journalists since president pathetic to assume office in two thousand and
