independent commission is being formed a general amnesty issued after the war means that those responsible will not face justice that are harder reports from beirut. what that how when he has been searching for her husband adnan since he was abducted by unknown gunmen thirty six years ago lebanon was at war at the time controlled by lebanese sick tarion militias palestinian fighters israeli forces and syrian troops how when he began her battle for the truth in one nine hundred eighty two attracting other women whose husbands sons and brothers had also disappeared. their protest movement continued long after the war ended in one nine hundred ninety only now has the lebanese parliament passed a law calling for a commission to find out what happened to those who disappeared. this is the first
4:10 pm
time the lebanese authorities officially admit the war crimes recognize the families of the victims and the missing and acknowledge our rights to know the fates of the disappeared. the higher official figures show at least seventeen thousand people went missing during the fifteen year conflict after years of campaigning families who have come from diverse backgrounds now hope the new law will give them answers they are urging those who have information to come forward they say they are not seeking punishment but closure. we are not responsible for article thirty seven which is about punishing perpetrators who just want to know the fate of our loved ones the draft bill we proposed has nothing to do with punishing past crimes. the international committee of the red cross has stepped in in the absence of any national institution to deal with the missing the i.c.r.c. hopes the d.n.a. samples collected can be used with mass graves are finally identified and opened.

it's the governments that are just protecting the business interests of their local companies or multinationals so that's where the problem is. is cop twenty two ends its first week delegates continue to work on establishing common rules on measuring reporting and verifying greenhouse gas emissions activists from around the world who've traveled to catechize say progress has to be made victoria gate and algis there are. now a volcano in northeastern tanzania known to them as people as the mountain of god is showing signs of it's about to reroute the dawn your lenka is the only known active volcano with a type of lover that can move faster than the person now as katherine story pours from the foothills it's threatening nearby villages and three major sites of early humans signs towering above everything else around the lake natural area in nothing tanzania although new length stands at more than seven thousand feet the local

rule the polls suggest a landslide for the acting prime minister nicole on the streets of paris a calm now but on saturday french riot police had running battles with thousands of anti-government protests as is the fourth straight weekend of the yellow vests protests. almost a thousand people were detained across the country prime minister edouard phillipe called for dialogue to resolve the situation while suggesting that president macro may soon take action if you look at the ducks no tax is that important to threaten national unity we must continue with dialogue with coming together the president will propose measures to bring together the french nation and to deal with the challenges that they have to deal with the summit of the gulf cooperation council could have major implications for the group's feature the six nation block is due to meet in the saudi capital riyadh later on sunday the cattery amir has been
4:21 pm
invited but has not confirmed whether he will attend saudi arabia is leading a blockade against cata which is the council's most serious crisis in decades those are the headlines inside stories next. counting the cost cattle becomes the first country in the middle east to quit opec un climate talks took place this week in a coal mining town passed by french president emanuel my own policies are so unpopular counting the cost. cutting supply to push up prices some of the top oil producing countries have reached an agreement so what does it mean for consumers and how long will this deal between opec rivals and allies last this is in science or.
4:22 pm
hello welcome to the program has him speak of the world's major oil producers agreed to slash production off the meeting in vienna in the hopes of getting prices up again the cuts by opec and other produces outside the cartel will take one point two million barrels a day from world markets the price of oil has tumbled from eighty five dollars a barrel in october to sixty dollars this week but it needed the agreement of non opec member russia will bring in our guests in a moment but first this report from paul brennan in vienna. for more than forty years opec controlled the global oil industry the group's near monopoly keeping a tight rein on supply and on prices the events of this week in vienna shows those days are truly over despite consensus that a cuts in production is needed to stop a slide in the oil price thursday's gathering of just the opec member states failed
4:23 pm
to agree to tell the numbers and so on friday as the meeting expanded to include non opec members all eyes were on alexander novak the russian energy minister. was after thorough analysis which we have been conducting of the market situation will be ready to come to an understanding on how to take corporation further. the final figures opec members will reduce output by eight hundred thousand barrels a day the nano pick countries will hold back a further four hundred thousand barrels iran libya and venezuela will be exempted the prospect of cutting one point two million barrels a day was enough to push brant crude above sixty three dollars from below fifty nine dollars the previous day go back to the supply demand we believe that there are substantial volumes out there as a result of releasing the spare capacity that used to be. withdrawn and we hope that we will come to an agreement where all. producers will contribute with.
4:24 pm
equal cuts across the board there was significant transparency and who was going to be doing that so for example the saudi government laid out their path to basically are moving about the russian government also gave us in the window about what their with options would be so i think the statement was actually more transparent than expected i think it actually is a more robust cut than we expected to last couple days but what happens here in vienna is only part of the picture the united states is now the world's biggest crude oil producer now really eclipsing russia and with saudi arabia in third the fact. does opec no longer calls the shots this is been a hard fought compromise deal and the fact it's been so difficult emphasizes the limits now of opec's effectiveness and there are still question marks as to how long the deal done here will actually last paul brennan al-jazeera vienna.
4:25 pm
or so in october brant crude oil prices risa three year high but they then crashed around thirty percent from early october prompting this week's decision in vienna that's the spot us president donald trump urging saudi arabia and others to keep prices down the u.s. this year became the world's top while producer for the first time since the one nine hundred seventy three for saudi arabia and russia are second and third other big oil producers iran libya and venezuela have all been exempt from making any production cuts in this deal. let's bring in our guest now joining us on skype from moscow we have nicholai served gulf senior research fellow at the institute of world economy and international relations in london salami an international oil economist and in leesburg virginia a sane askari professor of international business and international affairs at
4:26 pm
george washington university good to have you all with us gentleman let me start with you what do you make of this decision by opec and others. was it perhaps a bit more aggressive than many were expecting. i think it is a good decision and a practical one to stop the decline of the oil prices it might not the result immediately in higher oil prices but it is a step in their either direction especially with the country beautician or a major contribution from saudi arabia and is slightly less contribution from russia it will even be a correction of a mistake made in june by saudi arabia and that of pressure from president graham
4:27 pm
and russia when they added six hundred fifty thousand barrels of oil to their market and that increased at an already existing glop in the market that was wondering isn't why the prices gunned down there is another reason which is the. by the global oil market that the us sanctions on iran have not yet coerced iran a single battle over oil and so the market relaxed as you mean that there will be normal supply definitions see in the global oil market well let's put that point then to a higher sane askari is this partly an effort to correct a decision that was made earlier in the year in june when they decided to pump more
4:28 pm
oil to to make up for the the lost iranian supplies and prevent prices spiking. well i think that the. that what's going on is that in fact saudi arabia as was just mentioned by your previous guest saudi arabia increased its all production and i think that now the sacrifice the saudi arabia is supposed to be making is not really any kind of a sacrifice because it increases all production by quite a bit yet this year and so when you take that from a base to cut back from that base is not that much of a sacrifice i think that when i look at the history of opec. i can tell you that i don't think that this decision will do very much opec has never been able to. not sheep to be able to stick together and now we're really talking more about not just opec but opec including not opec so i don't think this will have that much of an
4:29 pm
effect on prices i think what's much much more important in this room of things is the state of the world economy if in fact what happens to the money i think right now is the key where you are in the u.s. has a nascar what about the trump factor in all of this and we know we know the u.s. president has been tweeting about and wanting to keep prices low yet the saudi arabia's energy minister. said that this decision was made out of economic necessity and in his words not driven by any political agenda and now in other words he's saying we're going to do what we need to do and it really doesn't matter what president trump tweets about it. well i think the saudi oil minister is rather brave in saying that i'm sorry to say that's not the history of things but i think for mr trump there are number of balancing issues that are at play here on the one hand i think you would like to see low oil prices because that helps his base it's
4:30 pm
like a pax cut in the sense when you have low oil prices and also i think why he needs lower oil prices is that all indications are that the united states economy will go to into a recession later next year as so if you have a recession that will also hurt him because what that will do is that will be more unemployment and with the election coming up in twenty twenty he will be in an untenable position so he would like to see lower prices for that but on the other hand he has another problem which is when you have low oil prices the u.s. stock market generally goes down and that's added to volatility and the u.s. stock market going down and so i think mr trump has got it's got a real problem on his and but on balance i think you would like to see lower prices nicholai suit of the point was made in in paul's report there that this distill
4:31 pm
could not be done without russia needed russia on board to get this done what does that say about how important a player eight is now in the global oil market not being an opec member itself and what is a say about opec's power in all of this. well i think from the russian point of view of opec is still strong and influential that is why russia is actually cooperating with opec and for russia opec is the only partner that can help really to stabilize the prices moscow is no interested in raising the prices as high as possible because well most of the government revenue comes from oil exports in and of course russia is ready to supply most to about one third of the costs so it is the. an important contribution and russia is ready to work with saudi
4:32 pm
arabia in maintaining high old oil prices and i think this decision by opec was a very strong sign was a very important sign that russia and saudi arabia will work together on the oil market in order to maintain high prices it's a declaration of sorts both economically and politically and i think both countries are very much concerned we the consequences of the u.s. efforts to increase production of oil in north america and of iranian sanctions because despite the fact that until now the sanctions didn't hit iran that seriously there is an expectation that iran very quickly will start exporting more and if you talk about cheating well that's what's being expected and iran will export at much lower prices than now so we need to take precautions in
4:33 pm
order to stabilize the market and to maintain high prices mundo said i mean how much how much influence does does opec has it as a cartel really have on on well prices today that the fact it has to bring in russia and others in on this. first opec is not a cut of clearly it has never been at all in fact it was found in baghdad in one nine hundred sixty two home front the kind of thing of the seven sisters its influence has gone through embargoes through wars through conflicts but it has set a vive it has a vital role to play in the global oil market is that realizing that the market and step realizing oil prices facts start fair the role of opec
4:34 pm
because opaque accounts for forty two point seven percent of the global production and more than seventy one point eight of the global proven oil reserves so by all accounts it is a very very influential organisation and it will continue to be but to make it stronger it needs always it cohesion of its members and sometimes the policies of saudi arabia diversion from the policies of the overwhelming majority of opaque as happened in twenty forty and when saudi any bia decided to flood the global oil market in instead of joining opec to cut production to stab realize the oil prices hossein askari what does all this mean then for consumers particularly for motorists for prices at the pump i mean obviously when when if the
4:35 pm
prices are going to go up that's that's going to mean higher petrol prices high energy prices. how much of an effect is that going to have on people's pocketbooks . well if i may just go back to what was just said and i will definitely address your question i have to very much disagree with what was just said. in the case of opec i totally agree that opec has never really acted as an effective cartel but if you go back to opec even during the arab oil embargo of one nine hundred seventy three seventy four arab or pick the arab members of opec they even cheated themselves saudi arabia or so or oil to the u.s. fleet iraq in fact did not hold back its output so that you take into account what is said at generally opec meetings is rather meaningless the thing that matters is can they stick together and i can assure you that saudi arabia and iran have
4:36 pm
nothing in common to agree on any more during all this time that i have been involved and knowing what's going on between the two countries i can assure you that there has been no cooperation behind the scenes in front of the scenes or anywhere on the scene so whether that what was done at the opec meeting to me is i'm sorry to say rather meaningless i think what matters is can they stick together and for that i'm not really very optimistic not what this does i cling to consumers is very clearly this that when you look at it in the case of the united states. people expect oil prices maybe to go up a little bit during next year however this is at the same time will in fact influence shale oil production in the united states it will give a boost to share oil production and so i think that oil prices in the united states makes make go up very very little in the short run but during next year and with
4:37 pm
the recession looming i believe world prices in fact will go down in the united states. nicholas or go what's your view on that does this does this further incentivize fracking in the u.s. and what implications is that going to have for for russia's all production. well the this is correct the high prices are a stimulus are in and are an incentive for the us produces to increase shale oil production it's true and we know about this. because of the consequences but currently i think both russia and saudi arabia need high prices and they need them now because of the. because of the current economic situation which requires more income so russia is ready to take the risks and i
4:38 pm
think the saudis are also rated to take the risks but in the longer term even in the meat till we understand here that high or low prices will mean more shale oil on the market and that thus we stimulate the production in the us and actually the previous efforts by saudi arabia i mean they increased production and the increased exposure exports they were manna from our point of view they were amount to strangle the u.s. production but they didn't work and besides there is no other choice now. both countries need revenues and they need them now so the risks are. there ready to put up with the risks and speaking about the influence of opec by the way yes back as it was was pretty weak and that was the problem of cheating and it's true that the saudis have their controversies with the iranians but this is why the
4:39 pm
saudis are working with the russians and this is why the saudis are trying to create what we call now opec less and opec plus will be a much stronger institution that can really influence the oil market and this is the only solution in the light of the current efforts made by the us in order to increase shale on production and so we have to adjust and opec has to adjust to a new situation when the oil market with the new there is serious competitor coming . mundell salami this disagreement was penciled in for an initial six months right now but could that change depending on what happens with with with with prices and output and so on especially given as well what a sane askari was saying earlier about cheating in countries not sticking to their targets and the agri rand could change from time to time and opec
4:40 pm
and plus russia have been monitoring it changes in the global oil market it could change in six weeks if the prices start to go up very significantly i am a great believer and here i here cannot of what the second speaker has said but i disagree with him completely low on prices are very bad for the united states as well as for the global economy the global economy is myriad of three major. parts the oil industry the economies of the global brewed using countries and of course investments are around the world these three are affected adversely by law and prices as we have seen between twenty fourteen and twenty sixteen
4:41 pm
a good or oil price and here i am talking about an age of one hundred to one thirty dollars a barrel is good for the global economy as it invigorates this big chunks of the global economy that he already big chunks of the global economy i'm curious. about your point earlier that the lower oil prices a bad for the u.s. economy that means low low gas prices at the pump for millions of americans how is that a bad thing. yes i tell you it might ben it might act as a. tax cut but you have to see the whole picture the oil industry needs a price between sixty to seventy to break even and the share of oil in the city is growing in importance because it employs two per cent of the workforce
4:42 pm
in the united states without higher oil prices they will lose at least two million barrels of that of production in admission to the thousand if not millions of people are made redundant and the third part is that the united states is at an intended other part of the global economy if the global economy is adversely affected by the law in prices the american economy is equally affected because it's part of the global economy so it is not good havilland a short term benefit of a tax cut when the whole global economy is affected her sign a scary what's your view on that. well i would like to go back to one thing and then because if we do have some disagreements here. if i may i you know i can prove this is that when oil prices were around eighty dollars a barrel i said that they will go down to between and between thirty to forty
4:43 pm
dollars a barrel and there was a reason for that and that reason is still there in the past we used to say that saudi arabia is the swing producer that it can affect the market with its oil output now what you have is global shale oil and gas production other swing produces if oil prices go up a little bit because most a lot and i think the danger for opec is that fracking is not just any longer in the united states it is going to be spreading to other parts of this world and so that with oil and everybody used to say that in fact shale oil production would go down its oil prices go down below fifty that was rob it has been proven to be wrong and in fact what you can see is that oil prices will not go to one hundred to one hundred thirty that is a dream which will never come true all right nichelle i sort of give give what's
4:44 pm
probably going to be the last word to you then well i don't think that russia is aiming for one hundred thirty dollars for a barrel i think russia is actually trying to have a balanced price of about seventy eighty dollars which makes. the world production profitable for russia but. still i think the reason it's a huge concern on behalf of moscow that oh we have a change in situation in the oil market and that is why russia decided to work closely with the saudis because they aren't the only potential partners who can deal with us now these are the taken into consideration the tensions between moscow and washington so i think that these particular partnership will stand and i think both producers will do their best to stabilize the market but within a couple of years well it will definitely see very serious changes if the u.s. shale oil industry continues to develop at the current pace but for now for
4:45 pm
