seem to think nobody wants to break the rules and so the turnout's down because these are apparently free and fair elections and this is the very traumatized nicole passion you had with the very first promise that he made back in the spring so i'm with the it revolution where he said the most important thing for our media now is to have three and fair elections so that may be the case right now so what's the likelihood that hashing out my staff alliance will win a convincing majority it's highly likely opinion polls suggest that the party may get as much as seventy percent of the vote there was a mayoral election a few weeks ago here in the capital and his party candidate got over eighty percent of the vote so it's a very good show on that nickel question you're going to have an outright right majority which will be good news for him obviously and for the armenian people that

say they want. to bring about the reforms the promises that he promised to deliver a poem and we'll have that mandate to do it the downside of course is if he's with an overwhelming majority in parliament well thank you going to be an opposition a buyable opposition to have to put the checks and balance on his all story see if that turns out to be the case ok well then many thanks for the update from you're a fan. now activists have marched to the polish city of. a two week u.n. climate summit is on the way they're calling for more action from governments attack whole global warming attempts to incorporate a key scientific study into climate talks failed offit was blocked by countries including saudi arabia and the united states and. the. protesters delivered a message to delegates meeting in poland the un climate change toolchain is caught

is still squabbling over who will pay for it there's also unease that this meeting is in a country where lines on coal the polish government is planning to increase coal production to cut in cool us we have to shut down all fired electricity but there is no place to the great world never mind a one point five degrees for a coal fired electricity and any plant that you decide to build now will be a stranded asset. or. blow right through the two degrees. protesters say. scale of the threat posed by rising temperatures hasn't been fully grasped by politicians after the last some of the droughts and the heavy rains otherwise most of the citizens realize that climate change is hitting them personally but it's the governments that are just protecting the business interests of their local companies or multinationals so that's where the problem is most of this cup twenty four ends its first week delegates continue to work on establishing

packed for. the main things that sets out zero apart from other news organizations is that a lot of our reporting is about real people but about ideas or politicians or what they may want to do but how policy and how events affect real people it's ok it's ok it's ok to rebuild the conflict could get off but it probably is this is not an act of creation i mean i remember walking. down like my family's status and wealth has benefited from their choice to enslave. some of us so stai risky to speak out as a surprise that. this job isn't just about what's in the script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now. it pays well and doesn't require diplomas. and that's why so many in macau work for

is a live from doha also coming up a fractured gulf cooperation council opens its summit in riyadh with calls for unity amongst member states plus john kelly will be leaving. donald trump announces the departure of his second chief of staff except in the remarkably high turnover in the white house's top ranks. the french president and his government are looking for solutions to what's become known as the yellow vest protests after they again turned violent across the country. broke his silence to tweet his appreciation for the police as the clean up operation began in paris he set to address the nation this week after his prime minister said it was time for national dialogue. france's foreign minister has told the u.s. president to stay out of french politics donald trump blames the violent protests on the paris climate agreement on french t.v.

zhang even said we do not take domestic american politics into account and we want that to be reciprocated leave on nation. let's get more of an update now on what's happening in paris with dominic k. the novel weekend of violence so what's been the reaction to it. well the reaction has been pretty swift from the media anyway with all the newspapers carrying the this is their lead story with screaming headlines talking about the violence that took place some saying that the republic as it were the republic france is now off in flames that's a play on words of play on the fact that mr meccans own movement the thing that propelled him into power that i probably should play on those words in so far as the approach to the police is approach of policing the violence that took place several newspapers talking about the fact they feel that the police adopted a firm a tone and so perhaps that explains why there were many many arrests that took

place perhaps nearly fifteen hundred arrests and consider amount of damage inflicted but again new sources suggesting that less damage inflicted than perhaps might have been expected in so far as the other reaction the reaction that you've touched upon there laura the reaction from across the atlantic from president donald trump all that has really knocked the french government because they don't believe that his intervention is helpful for them it shows perhaps the level of tension that there is in the french government at its upper echelons but joy even a deal the foreign minister would react in the way that he did you as he was saying leave our country be the irony of course there is that's pretty much what many of the people in the in the yellow vests would themselves say to the french government they believe they should leave the country be not impose the tax rises not try to change to reform society in the wide ranging way that president macro was really trying to do over the course of the last eighteen months or so so what happens next

time him back was due to address the nation what could he say. well he'll be speaking our understanding is he will be speaking on monday trying to show that he is hearing what people have been saying the point though is that he's got a lot of people to convince and he doesn't necessarily have the. much time in which to convince them i'm standing in front of the. here in paris the parliament building why because tomorrow on monday the opposition party certainly those of the left will be putting down a motion of no confidence in mr mack holes government the french constitution the way it operates here is it's an executive presidency so that the motion of no confidence is in the government of mr michael not in him himself so he would be safe even if that were to pass it's very unlikely to pass because his party his movement has an absolute majority in the building behind me but it shows you the

level of tension and shows you also the level of anger it's not just the people in the streets it's also the organized political parties the opposition to mr mccance other point to make here is that although the mess the damage that was caused on saturday is largely cleared up now both outside paris and in the city center but the political mess well that is very far from being cleared up and unless mr mccraw has onse as to the many concerns that people feel doesn't look like it's going to be cleared up any time soon now ok many thanks for that. now rival protests are being held in london in support of and against for access ahead of a key vote on the prime minister's e.u. withdrawal deal on tuesday and one of the far right groups and the u.k. independence and now sing to his amazement which they say traps in the tommy robinson a far right activists and founder of the english defense league is due to address

protests says outside downing straits. where those protests as a gathering often them on nuns in the name of what's happening there on the streets . it is a very very large demonstration this is pretty much the tail end of it we're talking about several thousand people through the center of the city there heading towards downing street of course the seat of the british government this is a cross-section of the political right here in the u.k. and it is a very broad cross-section we have seen some ultra right wing movement see we've seen white supremacist groups we've also seen common or garden nationalists as well members of the u.k. party u.k. independence party of course who were incredibly instrumental in pushing for that all important e.u. referendum several years ago that party is now somewhat collapse into political infighting it no longer has any m.p.'s in parliament today he mentioned that will

also keep figure out tommy robinson the founder of the english defense league because he by many years an ultra nationalist right wing group is openly described himself as an absolute muslim activist has become something of a figurehead not only for the right wing here in the u.k. but also internationally to report recently came out the guardian newspaper suggesting that he received funding from this far away is the united states and australia we know that there are right wing groups from both of those two countries intend to speak to people here later on but regardless of their politics you united in their rejection of to resume a spreadsheet plan. they will go before the house of commons choose day for all important vote bunch of the right wing of the u.k. voted to leave the e.u. mainly on the grounds of wanting to reduce immigration to the country that they feel disposable for putting the nation of constraint there to protests going on all day the. demonstration i mean they may represent the extremes of

xyzzy particularly on the streets today but they do show that britain fundamentally is very divided over this issue. absolutely right there is that there is a kooris of voices from both the far right and the far left and also the middle ground who resoundingly already is saying that they do not support to resume a rexx to plunge whether the people voted for or against leaving the european union the feeling from some is that this doesn't alter the results of the referendum that it concedes perhaps too much to the european union that it doesn't go far enough in regions what these people want tightening the borders and reducing levels of immigration him to the country theresa may had hoped this would be a compromise that would satisfy both sides of this very divided country but it's a plan that only really seems to be dividing this nation even further. ok need many

thanks for bringing us the scene there from the streets of london. the outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. has made her first public comments on the rise of saudi jealous jamal khashoggi thank you haley avoided assigning outright blame to mohamed been solomon but she did say that the saudis crown prince he is technically responsible hales had told the atlantic magazine that the saudi government doesn't get a pos we can't condone it we can't have a sense ok we can't ever support behavior and we have to say that. reasonal disunity are two of the issues hanging over the gulf cooperation council as it meets in riyadh saudi arabia's king salam opened the summit did not address the blockade of cattle by his country and two other g.c.c. member states of the now i don't know we have faced a lot of challenges and on top of them there are other differences between our g.c.c. nations we need not to risk the interests of our peoples the peoples of the g.c.c.

council states the g.c.c. must not be hesitant we need to keep our situation firm stand firm and we need to be able to face the challenges in our region. but i suspect syria mali academic and research are. joining us via skype mentioned to know how this summit is being viewed. well as you know i'm on is very keen on d.c.c. and the stability and prosperity of the g.c.c. however i think all the not just the crises but other crises as well that you have just mentioned whether. they were that the way that the g.c.c. has been managed and if you need it by now in this case saudi arabia being the largest country it's not your nicely here it's. people look at what is

happening as basically undermining the whole project of the g.c.c. that's been going on hold decades and there is a lot of work and there is a lot of effort has been put into this and there are a lot of benefits to the people it's all been undermined and basically because there is an all or country that is saudi arabia that seems no one to manage the whole g.c.c. and bully everybody and that because the g.c.c. state as you know are much smaller and terms of size and resources so. this is not acceptable to to the people in the gulf if you will here in the gulf want to see a more functional prosperous you see that works together. in the crisis that is just . me and is being created and yet they're talking about getting the u.c.c. to work together is really a contradiction in terms of can you couldn't prices and get everybody to work together this question has been going on for about eighteen months now do you think

the decision ever recover from it can it ever be that stable leadership block in the region that it that it won't. good question laura i think the damage that has been. caused by this crisis it's much deeper than people think as you know this is a crisis that has been used and misused by the whims of some of the leaders in the g.c.c. the damage they have could have and unfortunately we've lost our connection that. he was joining us from muscat via.
