6:00 am
on one issue on one issue the northern ireland back story there remains widespread and deep concern as a result if we went ahead and held to the folks tomorrow the deal would be richer you guys significant. we will therefore defer the vote for tomorrow. and not proceed to divide the house at this time but the opposition was having none of it if she's going back to brussels then she needs to build a consensus in this house there is no point no point at all in this prime minister bringing back the same deal again which clearly does not support the government not supported by this house. gradually voices of being her dog you into the parliament might have no choice if it can also agree itself how to leave the e.u. but so hold another referendum it isn't even clear what the terms of it might be
6:01 am
aphasic lael says the displays will not be the last days of. this embarrassing the adage says a week is a long time in politics but here right now they stagger from day to day making it up as they go along. lawrence i really enjoyed watching that pretty heated exchange between there remain a protester in the bronx if here protester and effectively that they're divided over what is the will of the people is of the old referendum or should there be a new one i mean i guess all options are on the table now how realistic do you think it is to think that there might be a second referendum. well i mean there are a lot of problems attached to it you know there is an argument clearly that says that when the original referendum was held people didn't actually know what it was they were voting for because the terms were so vague and in the intervening sort of years it's become but very much clearer what it would look like and so it would be much a much more focused conversation but the polling hasn't really changed that much
6:02 am
and can you imagine if you know having the referendum as it was leave one fifty two so forty eight if there was another referendum and remain one fifty two so forty eight then you'd still have exactly the same split in the country in the hold and the whole thing just simply doesn't go away you know as well as those options that you mention in the introduction about the potential for a second referendum or crashing out with no deal that there are there are of course other options to which are for example abandoning article fifty entirely and just and just saying well we can do it or at least we're going to suspend it for the time being and so we can actually come up with something that we can all agree on. the government say or which is what they think the labor party wants is a general election and the terms of that clearly would be very much around bracks it's as well you know if if you have to leave the european union hall to get the source of social and political and economic change across the country that led to
6:03 am
all the anger among leave votes in the first place and so there are all these options still in play i think the thing that is still less likely to happen than anything is no deal not least because there is no parliamentary consensus for us and the economic damage probably would be too big but you know this close to the u.k. supposing it is supposed to be leaving in march and not having any sort of plan it is mostly humiliating really for the reputation of the government and in the parliament more broadly here yeah two years and five months center a little bit since the referendum itself lawrence leigh outside westminster lawrence thank you. for coming up on this news hour. from london. activist ninety m. arriving called. for action to stop sexual violence in. receive the nobel peace prize. democrats call for a top to bottom review of u.s.

policy toward saudi arabia including what drove the administration's response to the murder of jamal khashoggi and legendary quarterback tom brady breaks yet another right in the n.f.l. capable tell you what it is in sports. world leaders attending a united nations conference in morocco have approved the pact that improving corporation on migration it's the result of eighteen months of negotiations and sets out twenty three objectives to open up legal migration and the scar of illegal border crossings that they include minimizing the reasons that compel people to leave their own countries in the first place but also providing legal routes for those who choose to migrate addressing the vulnerable vulnerabilities and discrimination against migrants in transit including working to combat and
6:05 am
eradicate human trafficking and working to help migrants when they arrive in their destination country so they can use their skills to contribute towards its development as well as helping them if they want to return home well it's a significant victory for the u.n. bought the us. a number of other countries withdrew saying the pact is inconsistent with their sovereignty from. reports. before it's the moment millions of refugees and migrants have been waiting for 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 and tony of the terrorist this is a significant achievement whether their movement is voluntary or forced and whether or not they have been able to obtain formal authorization for movements all human beings must have their human rights respected and their dignity. to the united
6:06 am
these and to vilify any group of people is the road to deal my days ation an order but the us which championed the push to protect by agreements 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 but but countries need migrants if they are to prosper and flourish we know that migrants 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
6:07 am
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 is no need to be afraid of migration can be a positive experience in a safe experience from if we look at ads the fortune five hundred companies half of them have been founded by immigrants or children of immigrants if we look at the at their population migrates 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 range 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.
6:08 am
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 where the conflicts continue in their own countries. well across mexico thousands of central american migrants are not giving up hope of seeking asylum in the united states many have camped out along the border where they hope to climb the fence and claim asylum or the media is in the border city of the one where she followed two mothers and their children as they tried to make it to the other side. if anything mexico's northern border is a symbol of inequality on one side a world of privileges and on the other stories of people in search of an opportunity. this family from el salvador came first in the early morning to check
6:09 am
to situation climbing is not easy. the boys are petrified and one shouts don't hurt my mama or my papa. they keep on trying in eyesight of the american border patrol who laugh loudly. as they failed and finally walk off exhausted. this part of the wall was built nearly twenty five years ago during the clinton years it's been fortified by several administrations since the reason why there was added a few weeks ago. if the heavy presence of the american border patrol is meant to be a deterrent it's not working these young men jumped over in a matter of minutes they have nothing to lose. about an hour later another group
6:10 am
arrived killing maldonado left honduras with her twin daughters along the way she became friends with and her three children here relying on each other to take the leap across the border killing was hesitating at first she told her daughter 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 kellin and. it's too difficult the border patrol has a radius around that those who jumped. it's too late for them one of killing 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 when. 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
6:11 am
but now to have the right to claim asylum. is in pain and wonders what will happen to her eighteen month old baby she was still breastfeeding can we ask where the children spend the night i don't know is dns server. then it slowly sinks in the children are in the us but killin and are still in mexico separated by the wall they will try again and again this time in search of their children held somewhere in america without that hamid al jazeera along mexico's northern border. congolese doctor and dentist and the cd activists ninety and rod have called for greater international action to stop sexual violence being used as a weapon of war the pair made the play as they jointly accepted the nobel peace prize and an emotional ceremony and also from their charlie angela reports.
6:12 am
sharing a prize and a sense of justice for victims of sexual violence in conflict. and dennis mccuaig receive the nobel peace diplomas and medals their speeches urge the international community to act when war crimes are committed a call they reiterated during an exclusive interview with al-jazeera after the ceremony i says is fidel. group i def been doing to the girls and women in that paying this female person raping the years cd girl and all women and believe and those people believing according to this and saying this is right we see that this is the the wrong this act they can possibly do and nobody knows firsthand the injustice of eisel seen here returning to her village in northern iraq she is
6:13 am
a survivor of trafficking and rape at the hands of the groups fighters now she's desperate to rescue and resettle her people three hundred thousand during refugee camps while three thousand new cd women are still in slaved she has told her story of sexual violence and torture receiving standing ovations at the european parliament in united nations but she says there's been little action these people live in hope for justice but that hope has an expiry date no idea brad shares the million dollar prize money with dennis mccuaig a gynecologist who has treated around fifty thousand rape victims for their injuries they were attacked by fighters during conflict in the democratic republic of congo mcquay has pioneered new surgeries to help the women and we have been a tape there with physical psychological and economic support and now we can have campaigns as we have done all chemical weapons and biological and nuclear weapons we can reach a level where any person who is involved in
6:14 am
a conflict knows the already. if he uses rape as a weapon to. describe. the new country that will accept me. unlike other nobel peace prize winners these laureates have not completed their task instead they are in the midst of their struggle to prevent sexual violence in conflict they've called out the international community for what they see as a lack of ambition compared to other areas of civilian protection and they say they don't want towards they want action charlie rangel al jazeera. let's speak to maurice carney now he's the executive director for friends of the congo an advocacy organization based in washington d.c. sir thank you so much for joining us here on the al-jazeera so we saw that report or we heard the interview with both not him or add and then it's mccuaig is they receive their joint nobel peace prize you know at least for these past few days we
6:15 am
have had the spotlight shown on both you know the use of rape as a weapon of war and also the situation in the r.c. but are you fearful that once the spotlight goes ultimately the issue itself isn't going to be addressed as a should be by the international community. yes somewhat fearful and that's all the more reason why the international media says al jazeera and others need to maintain the spotlight on the congo particularly in the coming weeks when elections are scheduled for december twenty third having the global media documenting in focusing on what's transpiring in the congo leading up to the elections can actually serve as a deterrent for further violence and further instability so it's incumbent upon the global media to be engaged in to focus his attention on what's unfolding in the congo so do you think that that's what it is that basically governments don't feel
6:16 am
the pressure from their populations because it's not talked about enough in the media and that also may doesn't lead to the pressure being put on. the that's part of the that's part of the problem is not soley that the congolese government has gotten tremendous amount of pressure from its population it's a result of the pressure from congress population that its current president who is a standard is stay in power beyond the constitutional mandate for about two years that actually designate a successor this august many lives were sacrificed young leaders like russell candy and who were gunned down as a result of the marches are organized by clergy in the congo gunned down by state security forces that demonstrated the kind of pressure that we see coming from the population so as long as the media. documents what's unfolding joint showed the role of the congolese people playing in the aspirations and the desires of the
6:17 am
congolese people for peace and for justice and for democracy that's a story that absolutely needs to get out to the global community i mean certainly have to say you know al-jazeera has done quite a lot of stories and a lot of other international media have you have covered it especially the past few days and testimonies like that of dr denis before i go of course are invaluable because it's very graphic and often heartbreaking descriptions are actually the kind of think that will come across and will make people empathize but you live in the united states so your advocacy group obviously does what it can to raise the profile what do you do when what do you feel what have you found works to make people care or you know obviously a lot of people will care but to see action when it comes to dealing with with the sea from the international community. well several things work one is making sure the proper narrative is shared we often we've seen in the last few
6:18 am
days the narrative that's been put out there on the congo has come from the president himself joseph kabila were and he shared a number of stories that are far from the truth far from reality for example he says elections are going well the planning for elections there no doubt more quickly he stated in an interview prior to his speech or earlier today that the congolese government is preparing more for a war against its own people then it's preparing for elections so telling the proper narrative the accurate narrative coming from the people on the ground is very critical also reaching out to or to world leaders and we're here in washington engaging members of congress engaging the u.s. government in sharing with them what's unfolding on the ground that's critical also to getting to a stage where we can get people to act also we pointed out that the u.n. matching exercise report was published in two thousand and ten that calls for
6:19 am
justice for the congolese people hasn't been fully address so putting pressure on leaders like antonio. the united nations and different countries u.s. representative at the united nations nikki haley and others pressure must be applied to these leaders in order to bring about accountability in the congo in order to bring about justice and to bring entered into unity that's unfolding in their country because as dr kobi stated we have world leaders neighboring countries multinational corporations are all in gate so these are different entities must be engaged on the part of the media on the part of activists and a part of the global community you know to try to bring about an end to the instability in the conflict that we see in the congo that has led to the rapes and the trustees that we've seen against women maurice carney executive director for friends of the congo an advocacy organization based in washington sir thank you.
6:20 am
thank you. much more in this hour we're include being bold goes your home or go to prison we meet a palestinian family forced to make that tough choice in occupied east jerusalem a. serial killer who killed seventy eight people most of them women and all of a hard day's work to give the new orleans victory. hello again a welcome back we're here across europe that have been plenty of winds across the central and northern part of europe over the last few days and that's really going to continue for parts of poland as well as germany as we go towards tuesday snow's also going to be in the forecast there but the snow severe last too long it's going
6:21 am
to be making its way towards the east quite quickly and we're going to be left with some cooler air and that's going to sink all the way down here towards rome with some rain in your forecast maybe attempt to there about nine degrees out here towards the west it's going to be another storm added the atlantic and with that storm we do expect to see some winds as well as some rain first for ireland then for the rest of the u.k. as we go towards mid week well for the know the part of africa really not looking too bad in terms of rain but we do expect to see some wins over the next few days particularly over here towards parts of libya northern libya there and then over here towards northern part of egypt not a lot of rain in that area but we do expect to see some clouds pushing through the guys in one thousand degrees view as we go towards wednesday really staying about the same but look at the rain out here towards the eastern med that is going to be a problem so we'll be watching that for localized flooding across the region here towards the west we're looking at in morocco seeing attempts there of about seventy degrees up here towards algiers it is going to be partly cloudy with a temperature there of about eighteen.
6:22 am
in countries like mine people have been killed because we in the united states have privatized the old public function was this was a deal with saudi arabia things were done differently saudis other arabs when they came to britain for be all to help the past bombs deal's off you will rumsfeld was meeting saddam isn't that interesting. shadow coming soon a reporter's retreat in a brutal civil war if the commodore hadn't been there the israeli invasion would not have been so well before the commodore had become a journalistic center you could be in a safe enclave and then you went out into civil war i started off leaving this of a grand suite at the commodore hutto the next room i was in was underground in a tiny prison cell as
6:23 am
a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera. welcome back is a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera french president the man who will mccraney has admitted he was partly responsible for. protests in a televised address to the nation the u.k. prime minister to resign may has called off to use this crucial vote in parliament on her brakes a deal after admitting she had no chance of winning it and world leaders have adopted a un pact aimed at improving cooperation on migration but many countries refused to support it. democratic politicians in the house foreign affairs committee want to
6:24 am
conduct a top to bottom review of u.s. policy toward saudi arabia including what drove the administration's response to the murder of jamal this says turkey's president repeated his call for justice saying the case should be tried under international law. of the handle so called saudi arabia's decision not to extradite eighty suspects for trial in ankara disappointing riyadh insists it will not extradite its own citizens ashaji was killed two months ago now at the saudi consulate in istanbul while collecting documents for his upcoming marriage it's got more on this for practical he joins us from washington d.c. so obviously this story does keep rolling and rolling in the u.s. certainly more than donald trump would like tell us a little bit about this pope the bottom review then that the house foreign affairs committee has ordered in two u.s.
6:25 am
policy toward saudi arabia. this is a pretty big development was so we've known that the democrats are going to take charge of the house of representatives come january third we don't exactly know what their agenda is going to be a keep in mind this is a president who has not had to govern with any sort of checks on his power that's all going to change so we're hearing now from the democrats who are going to be in charge of the foreign relations committee and they're saying this doesn't make sense the fact that the trump administration has gone to such great links to try to protect the crown prince mohammed bin solomon basically hinge in their entire middle east the man not the kingdom they want to know why and here's the thing that they trying to administration is about to find out they have subpoena power and they can demand records we believe that jared cushion or the president's son in law and senior adviser has become a close confident of muhammad been psalm on those what's out messages that are reportedly gone back and forth even after the murder allegedly where kushner told
6:26 am
spin solomon how he could weather the storm all of that can be subpoenaed all of that can be made public the intelligence community has proven that it has distrust of the trump administration so anything not disclosed could quickly make its way into the public domain through selective classified leaks from the club from the intelligence community so they're saying now this is going to be an issue they're going to look at the u.s. saudi relationship from top to bottom that's not just the murder of jamal khashoggi that is the prime minister of lebanon being taken into saudi arabia it's the call for dispute with the blockade of cutter it's the war in yemen it is the personal and financial potential relationships between trump his team and saudi arabia and all of that can be forced into the light as soon as the democrats take power in january now they're saying that's exactly what they're going to do have to go in with the latest on that from washington patty thank you. well as yemen's warring
6:27 am
sides hold their first talks in two years al-jazeera has obtained the un document outlining two initiatives in that ending the conflict it's being put forward by the un special envoy to yemen martin griffiths who is part of the negotiations in sweden now one proposal calls for fighting to come to an end in yemen's third largest city to ease one of the front lines in the war two hundred thousand civilians are caught up in the violence there the u.n. wants to revive a two thousand and sixteen peace agreement the other focuses on the whole day that the rebel controlled seaport where most of yemen's food and medicine comes in the u.n. it wants a halt to all military operations including saudi that airstrikes and for all militia groups to leave but warring sides in the yemen war have been meeting in sweden hundreds of yemenis have been protesting outside the u.n. headquarters in the capital sanaa they're calling for an end to the blockade which they say is hampering access the vital goods. that's what we're
6:28 am
doing today calling for the end to the blockade and. to pull ships carry medicine food and fuel to alleviate the suffering of the yemeni people and the international . body by the again we're asking the u.n. to lift the blockade us on a raffle and calling for the international community to have some responsibility to help the suffering of the yemeni people. now imagine being forced to choose between bulldozing your own home or being sent to prison or find that's exactly the face of thousands of palestinians need living in occupied east jerusalem properties have been declared illegal by the israeli government because they don't have the relevant permits that there has met one family having to make exactly that choice.
6:29 am

6:30 am
a possible prison sentence. being the head of my husband isn't just destroying the house he's destroying his life the children issachar spend life is really high. the human rights group says since two thousand and four 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 as they 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
