a global agreement to better handle migration adopted by a majority of united nations states the deal is not binding but for the united nations secretary-general until you get to this is a significant achievement whether their movement is voluntary or forced and whether or not they have been able to obtain federal authorization for movements they are human beings must have their human rights respected and their dignity. to the united these and to vilify any group of people is their old studio made a station an order but the us which championed the push to protect by grants during former president barack obama's time in office is now turning its back on the pact under president donald trump the u.s. italy hungary austria australia and switzerland all pulled out of the deal saying

it compromises their sovereignty we think that this is a momentous significance because it charts a middle ground between the two groups that we have in the world today those who are adamantly against migration and those who are adamantly for it and neither can win so what but but countries need migrants if they are to prosper and flourish we know that migrants are enormously to the wealth of nations to the wealth of people that i'm to the countries that they departed from as well the pact offers a glimmer of hope for chair will. who comes from a family of migrants and raises into national attention on the abuse suffered by child migrants and refugees worldwide there's no need to be afraid of migration can be a positive experience in a safe experience from if we look at the fortune five hundred companies half of them have been founded by immigrants or children of immigrants if we look at the at their of the population migrants make up three point four percent of the population

but they contribute just a little bit less than ten percent of the global g.d.p. migration has become a divisive issue over the past few years europe faced an unprecedented influx of refugees fleeing war in syria hundreds of thousands of ranger from myanmar are stranded in camps in bangladesh and there are thousands of africans risking their lives to cross into europe helping by grants and refugees was subtle go to school. and get access to health care is always going to be a long process it's unclear of those countries in europe where the far right is on the rise will ever be able to make concessions provide safe havens for those driven out of their homes or simply cannot return one of the conflicts continue in their own countries about al-jazeera america us. now is harsh and just reported support for the deal has crumbled in some countries in europe now where was that more evident than in austria where the government withdrew its support and then has more

found the capital of vienna. in vienna and across central europe the traditional christmas markets are well underway the symbolic of a christian heritage and a sense of european cultural identity twenty sixteen the european nations led the campaign for a global solution to the migration crisis but a string of populist election victories since then means the u. n. compact which emerged from that crisis is being discerned by its architects first to go was hungry. we see that pact coming into the field of national sovereignty certainly trying to make migration a human right which if you take a closer look is opening pandora's box that's a perspective though that the united nations insists is just plain wrong the u.n. says that the contract is not legally binding and does not create any new human rights furthermore it says national sovereignty over migration is

a specific protected in the document so long as it complies with international law it's caviar just like that which have been pounced upon by europe's new nationalists with austria leading the way. research's points to a new generation of politicians across europe who understand that migration can sway elections it seems that migration is one of the on the remaining topics where somehow nation states are seeing how they can make a point of this this is the reason of control and sovereignty and certainly it's also related to more and more polarized public debate after austria followed hungary more felt like dominoes slovakia italy bug area czech republic poland and switzerland of all other withdrawn or suspended their participation why because according to one academic by starting from

a pro migration stance the un compact underestimated and ignored the concerns of individual citizens there are no kind of conditions with the limit of migration right this kind it completely ignores the potential cultural aspects which i think i increasingly important for most of the opinions and i think what we see. in most countries is right it's not about the economic side the people a voice about immigration i think it's kind of that fear of loss of cultural identity the numbers of refugees entering europe has dropped sharply since the height of the migrant crisis in twenty fifteen but the challenge of how to address future crises remains n.g.o.s a warning that nationalism cannot solve global problems not only include compact means not participating in the solution being not barb in the solution of the google challenge and if we want to. challenge seriously then they have to be part of the global community christmas is

she was risking so much so they could get an education. but then. it goes very quickly the men first then one child another and. yet another it's now the turn of kenyan and. it's too difficult the border patrol has a radius around the those who jumped. right. it's too late for them one of kellin daughters sneaks back through the bars she pushes her back into the united states a desperate gesture by an anguished mother who has little to offer. i have to go to my children she keeps on repeating as a border guard carries them away the rest of the group is also led the way to tame but now they have the right to claim asylum. and our elder is in pain and wonders what will happen to her eighteen month old baby she was still

the northern kurdish region of iraq. thousands of palestinians living in occupied face the threat of having their homes or businesses demolished by the israeli government many properties have been declared illegal because all of us run able to obtain a permit and met one family that was forced to bulldoze their home. with no more fight left and all hope long gone even the youngest members of the family knew the bulldozer was coming and they want to diminish my house i don't want them to diminish my home. the palestinian family repeatedly tried and failed to get a permit from the israeli government to expand their home in occupied east jerusalem human rights watch says it's a system that discriminates against palestinians and is part of an israeli policy to maintain a jewish majority in the holy city the house she has built anyway and then spent

the last twenty years trying to keep the walls standing for days before the israeli government's bulldozer was supposed to arrive they made a heart wrenching decision. they would demolish themselves so they could avoid more than fifteen thousand dollars in fines and fees and a possible prison sentence. in the higher the my husband isn't just destroying the house he's destroying his life the children a sick as bend life is really high. the human rights group that salem says since two thousand for more than one hundred families have done the very same thing as the has she approximately seven hundred eighty palestinian housing units have been demolished so far. in the shaky neighborhood there are forty five palestinian families facing even including these elderly men one is

a refugee the other lost his previous house in west jerusalem years ago now is the approach the last years of their lives they worry about being homeless. they not only want to evict us but the entire neighborhood to build houses for the settlers given that demolition orders can take decades to enforce these men may not live to see their homes reduced to rubble the same cannot be said for their loved ones and so many other families natasha. occupied east jerusalem a canadian court is sitting to decide whether to grant bail to a top executive who is being held in vancouver may longo was arrested earlier this month the u.s. wants her to be extradited accusing her of breaching its sanctions on iran that detention extradition process has opened yet another rift between the world's two top economies the u.s. and china they're already engaged in a trade war and

french president gets ready to address the nation in the wake of four weekends of violent protests in paris and turn around in tanzania but at what cost critics expressed concern over the president's tactics against the media will bring the details to you a drawl of a person a hard day's work to give moral and victory in a we'll have that score. and we've got yet more rain working its way towards parts of the middle east at the moment we take a look at the satellite picture we can see one area of cloud that's edging its way across parts of turkey but then making its way in from the west amat is giving us some fairly heavy downpours and some pretty strong winds too so this is the area of

low pressure as we head through the day on cheese day all the winds circulating around that plenty of rain here plenty of strong winds and then we've got this dangling area of cloud making its way down through parts of lebanon giving us some wet weather hits too so generally speaking this whole region looking pretty unsettled as we head through cheese day and on wednesday that system just pushes a bit further eastward so more rain more snow and will strong winds to do with his the east loquat to hit tehran up a pleasant sixty of course into will be just for that here in doha temperatures are really quite nice at the moment getting to around twenty six no major problems for us in solar is a little bit warmer where she'd get to around thirty degrees and they made changes even as we head through wednesday but the southern parts of africa though the weather is far more to step with a huge area of cloud stretching down through the eastern parts of south africa will say through many parts of mozambique too and this area is likely to stick around as we head through the next few days yet more wet weather to come that's also affecting us in madagascar to.

the justice minister made the comment saying the turkish government is disappointed by saudi arabia's decision to reject a request to extradite the eighteen suspects to stand trial in turkey. kind of all just innocent plaguey and you see these human rights activists not amerada have been jointly presented with this year's nobel peace prize and all slow were chosen for their efforts to put an end to break as a weapon of war. france's president promised expected to address the nation in the coming hours after holding talks to try to end the so-called yellow vest protest cabinet ministers and union leaders met earlier in paris across has been largely silent after four weekends of protests across france and the demonstrations were initially over fuel tax hikes but now they become an anti-government mass movement calling for mccrone to resign or joins us now from paris with the latest so for about a half hour away from the speech what can we really expect him to say and what

effect would it really actually have in terms of the process. well this is a much awaited speech in france as you can expect as you mentioned the man who has been a pretty much silent ever since these yellow vests for protests began four weeks ago but he faces a huge challenge with this speech because if he gets the tone right he might be able to carm some of the tensions that we've seen in france over the past few weeks but if he gets it wrong then really he will just inflame the situation further and possibly put his own presidency further in peril it is in extremely a fine balance because on one hand he needs to give the yellow vest protesters more concessions that appeal to them they are complaining about the rising cost of living they say they can't make ends meet at the end of the month he needs to give them something very concrete so that they feel that he has listened to them but on the other hand if he gives too many concessions he will risk looking weak and then

he won't be able to go forward rolling out the rest of it is a very ambitious program so what he's been doing over the past few days is meeting mayors today he met a trade union leaders he's been talking to various society leaders you might say and trying to really formulate his response and that is what we will hear as you say in less than half an hour what kind of response can we expect from the speech. well it's hard to say because in many respects this yellow vest protest movement is a social media driven movement it's a grass roots thing it is it it includes people from across the summer it is all these people have very different needs and desires and they want different things so it's very difficult for a man or mark or to appeal to everybody there's no way that he's going to be able to really satisfy everyone's needs in one speech he knows that there will be those on the far left or the far right or some of the more violent protesters who simply

are unlikely to be swayed by anything that a liberal president like a man or marco is going to offer so what he's going to do is really try to appeal to the more moderate yellow vest protesters they as i said they want some concrete measures they want better rights for their pensions some of them want some higher minimum wage tax breaks they've already achieved the scrapping of the fuel tax so if you can come out with some of those measures and appeal to some of those more moderate yellow vest protesters then they may say ok enough enough maybe we don't need to continue this protest in this form we are ready for some form of dialogue but a lot is really going to depend on a man or mark hostile because one of the main problems something that unites all the protesters is the sense that a man a wacko is arrogant that he doesn't listen to what people have to say that he's out of touch with with every day people ordinary people so if he could show them that he's listening to their concerns and give them something then perhaps he might find

a way out of what is for him politically a dreadful situation and harsh about our life for us in paris thank you natasha the commander of ukraine's navy is accusing russia of provoking a naval confrontation in the black sea last month blames the incident on ukraine but admiral or warren chain cohen says says navy acted within international maritime law is speaking to enter a cemetery ukraine's naval base in odessa. this is a naval forces that son of the strain twenty four of his men who set out from a desa port more of a fortnight ago being detained by russia admiral it. says russia has no right to put them on trial. is not this what they have to admit that they took prisoners of war not some criminalize involved in contraband or illegal fishing. foreign genco dismisses moscow's charge of ukrainian provocation and.

no one recognizes that of crimea and even if we did cross the twelve miles only we're not to fight the f.s.b. border service we're passing according to our agreements through the strait of curch we are sure the tactical decisions were not being taken by the commanders of the russian ships. goes on to say was clear when russia sees the ukrainian boats the old as well political claim denied by russia he says the blocking of the strait was due to the accidental grounding of a tanker but was a deliberate act by russia using tugs these are identical system boats of two of the vessels that came under attack. the captain shows the area of penetrated one of the boats being held by russia ukraine's navy says the crew was being targeted rather than the boats engines which would have disabled the vessel. will isn't

optimistic of a quick end to the crisis who wants nato to commit more support to the region. we need to keep parity of power it's not about an open confrontation we need containment blacks and the reason need to cool down the fervor the heat of russia's aggression to stop it it's hardly surprising that ukraine is still calling for nato support when you consider how much the size of its navy was diminished when russia annexed crimea in twenty fourteen ukraine lost a lot of vessels and out of the few battleships that remain this is the only frigate. outgunned and outmanned over by russia of this navy has to be defensive its hopes for a quick release of its captured crews have to lie with the offensive mounted by diplomats and political leaders and drew simmons out zero adesa ukraine. a

former policeman believed to be russia's most prolific serial killer has been handed another life sentence in prison. killed seventy eight people mostly women or in chalons has more from moscow. recall was known as the anger maniac also the werewolf he was already serving life in jail for murdering twenty two women and he's just been found guilty for fifty six more murders they happen between one thousand nine hundred ninety two and two thousand and ten and eighteen year killing spree the mutilated and often rapes bodies of women were found in the cemeteries forests and roadsides of the siberian region of here could he was arrested in twenty twelve because police matched tire tracks found near some of the bodies to the type of car that was driven by popcorn and the twist in the tale here is that

the murderer was himself a police officer and for at least three of the murders he was on duty when he committed the crimes also using his service car and me as president has brought radical changes to the country since he came to power three years ago john not a fool he has introduced ways to save money waged a war on corruption and got rid of so-called government ghost workers but clampdowns and other areas from politics to media and even sexual morality is gaining him critics haven't so i reports and our salaam. massud keep expresses his art through caricature he's political messages as subtle but provocative he has drone through three governments but it's this one of president john mccain fully that he sees why is he the most the platform is more that clearly we are being told you know. because. sometimes. the

editor tells openly that you know we have to be careful we cannot publish this model fully has been in power for three years in tanzania some call him the bulldozer. you know and your voice has been credited for his fight against corruption which has been a problem here for years he has carried on on civil service expenditure and he's overseeing major projects like the construction of this that's a link different cities the stories we've. focused to make sure tons on the uncertain the development we want but it is a start is also to change some of the mistakes part of the past but critics of the president say he's a dictator last stifle the political space and curtailed freedom of expression and media if he decided on something he does it and go with it all the way but at the same time very autocratic so you have a way that you don't have

a feedback mechanism improve the decisions that are that have been taken and that's why you have a situation when the country everybody is in fear however he does enjoy popularity amongst some president john magaw for you has been described as a populist he often says what ordinary people in tanzania want to hear and mostly act on let's take this fish market for example it was on your evening walk in october stop here talk to the traders about the problems and give the money to build an office cooking area and trading. market trader a miriama shows us where the office is being built. i have been here for about two years but i have never seen a president. to be poorer than before he sat with us on a wooden benches and. many people in tanzania say the president has proved himself a symbol off decisiveness and integrity but some also say his autocratic style of

leadership. tanzania's democracy. liberty doors final river play strike a decisive blow on the pitch. or you.
