a tiny prison cell as a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera. welcome back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera french president emanuel mccrone has admitted he was partly responsible for fueling the yellow vest protests in a televised address the nation the u.k. prime minister to resign may has called off to use this crucial vote in parliament on her brakes after admitting she had no chance of winning it and world leaders have adopted a pact that improving corporation on migration as a united nations conference in the. opposition democratic

politicians in the united states want to 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 khashoggi this is turkey's president repeated his call for justice saying the case should be tried under international law pressure typewriter there are also called saudi arabia's decision not to extradite eight hundred suspects for trial in ankara disappointing riyadh insists it will not extradite its own citizens shoji was killed two months ago at the saudi consulate in istanbul while collecting documents for his upcoming marriage let's go straight now to washington d.c. and speak to who joins us from there tell us a little bit about this top to bottom review as they're calling it into the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia what's behind it. well what's behind it is the democrats sending the message not just to the trump administration but to saudi arabia that this is going to be their focus the minute they take over january third

the foreign relations committee now they're not saying that they have any hearings planned but they're basically sending the message to the president to his son in law jared cushion or we believe has had many many conversations with the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon that they are going to be looking at what is behind the trunk administration's handling of the murder of jamal khashoggi from the beginning the president has tried to basically get rid of the story it hasn't worked it's still in the front pages of the newspapers it's still on television news every single day people are still tweeting about it people are still talking about this but the president has wanted to say ok maybe it happened maybe did it you know let's move on and send the message that the trump administration is sticking with mohamed bin salma on the congress not so much so what they're saying right now is once they take over this is going to be the focus of the foreign relations committee and this matters because this is an administration that has not had to answer to anybody there have been a lot of questions and the courts have

a waited on some of those but the house of representatives these committees they can be incredibly powerful they can subpoena documents they can subpoena communications they can force jared commissioner to testify in public under oath about every single communication he's had with mohammed bin psalm on if he lies that is a felony if you forget something that too could be seen as a felony lying to congress is a serious crime it comes with prison time sometimes so this is important because it signals that the house has made this a priority and it basically ensures that the murder of jamal khashoggi is not going to fade from the headlines not in days not weeks and now we know now for months to kill him with the latest from washington on that patty thank you. a senior executive of chinese tech giant twelve way has returned to court in canada for a bail hearing over allegations that she broke u.s. sanctions on iran manget

art through caricature his political messages as subtle but provocative he has drone through three governments but it's this one of president john mark foley that he says worries him the most the platform is more that. we are being followed. because. sometimes when some back to. the editor tells openly that you know more food 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 of it knowing 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 is overseeing major projects like the cost structure of this really that will link different cities the stories we've. focused to make sure that turns on the uncertain the

development we want but it is a start it is also to change some of the mistakes or 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 or the way but at the same time very autocratic. so you have a way that you don't have a feedback mechanism in order to improve the decisions that that have been taken and that's why you have a situation when the country everybody is in fear. he does enjoy popularity amongst some president john mcgrath for you has been described as a populist he often says what ordinary people in tanzania want to hear and mostly take this fish market for example who was on your evening walk in october stop here talk to the traders about the problems and give the money to build an office

barker reports it's an idea that has split the scientific community. when mount pinatubo erupted in the philippines in one thousand nine hundred ninety one it spewed twenty million tons of sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere the cloud mixed with water vapor and circled the globe for twenty two days. average global temperatures fell by about half a degree for eighteen months scientists think that this effect could be mimicked to help tackle climate change they propose a technique called solo geo engineering and recent research suggests it could be remarkably cheap so the is the idea that when one makes anything including the planet more reflective it cools what is underneath it's the reason why frankly when our jackets are black and in the summer we often wear white . white cools black. for the project to work aviation engineers would need to

modify a high altitude aircraft it would look something like this would roughly double the wingspan of a passenger jet to sustain flight twenty kilometers above the earth and have double the thrust with the four engines the main body would carry large amounts of sun blocking particles which could be fired into the stratosphere the gases would turn into aerosols and reflect part of the sun's heat scientists estimate this method could reduce temperatures by one and a half degree centigrade over a fifteen year period the direct engineering costs of an intervention like this would be somewhere around two to three billion dollars per year and that is very low but not all are convinced some scientists warn it risks unintended consequences such as droughts and damage to crops they also argue let some governments off the hook the problem with this sort of idea is that it can encourage governments to

feel that it's less urgent to do something about greenhouse gas emissions so they think that if they do so in a geo engineering they don't need to worry quite so much about stopping fossil fuel emissions i think that's very risky. there's worldwide consensus that carbon emissions need to be cut to tackle climate change but with the effects of global warming already being felt some are looking to science to find a solution where governments have failed. al-jazeera. we have had that much more of that and everything else that we have been covering on our website the address al jazeera dot com. let's take another look now at the top stories here on al-jazeera french president emmanuel mccrone has pledged a series of economic measures that he says will ease hardship in a t.v.

sanctions on iran maine one joe is seeking release over healthful says those are the headlines war hotels as they are by. getting to the heart of the matter how can you be a refugee after you while eight borders between five safe countries facing the realities the pain starts from the very beginning go to school when you're providing context housing is not just about four walls and a roof hear their story and talk to al-jazeera. the commodore hotel was safe and then you went out into a very grave civil war. can have a commodore there's a mark of the. debate.

if the commodore hadn't been there the israeli invasion would not have been so. it was a great museum and overall was this godfather of the journalists use of missouri. the next room i was in was underground in a tiny filthy dirty prison cell basically as a hostage. we've .

had. welcome to nine hundred sixty s. beirut. for several decades this cosmopolitan city attracted international jet setters who could get from the ski slopes to the beach in no time. the hotel district was at the heart of its a luxury tourism economy and in its heyday hotels live doesn't george the phoenicia on the holiday inn were full of wealthy tourists businessman journalists diplomats and the occasional spies. travelers on a tighter budget stayed at hotels like the commodore and in the mid one nine hundred seventy s. it became host to the world's media when the lebanese civil war erupted. in one nine hundred seventy

a young arab millionaire use of mizzle took the commodore hotel on a twenty year lease from the kuwaiti royal family. noisome was a leading investor in the hotel industry in the region and responsible for attracting thousands of tourists to lebanon. mohammed should borrow worked with ms allen ticketing and still runs a travel agency near the commodore with the same name. but that. the front of. the ballot. it was the those that are fundamental couple phonebook. or can now affect the telephone or the offer. but the luxury beirut lifestyle obscured the gap between rich and poor that was white me all the time. the international press used beirut as a barometer of what was happening in the middle east. and one of the foreign

correspondents who predicted the violence in lebanon was i t.v.'s jonathan dimbleby . i first went to lebanon in nine hundred seventy two as a young reporter and i wanted to see whether something was happening there or not i stayed in what was then relatively modest hotel called the commodore hotel the overall impression was of some something some as a society which was held together by a rather loose series of ropes and it didn't take much for that to shatter. the thirteenth of april nine hundred seventy five mile to the official start of the civil. it was a proxy conflict for during the cold war. on one side never nice christian

right wing parties backed by the u.s. wanted to end the armed palestinian presence in lebanon and. on the other one muslim left wing parties allied with the p.l.o. and backed by the soviet union they saw the right wing christians a simply an extension of israeli and american influence in the country. when the war broke out an army of foreign journalists headed to beirut including the former b.b.c. middle east correspondent tim llewellyn all of whom wanted a safe place to stay. in november one thousand nine hundred seventy five i was taking what turned out to be one of the last n.e.a. flights into beirut from london which was virtually empty except for a few journalists and use of massaro who i didn't know but of course was that it was to turn out that he was the manager of the commodore. so he drew me he took

out a piece of paper and a pen and he drew from me the various sections of beirut who controlled what where you could go safely i said the use of what we needed was a base the next time i went to beirut. use of it created this fantastic hotel in the space of a few weeks the commodore had become that journalistic center. nine hundred seventy five and seventy six with the fiercest two years of the civil war with sectarian killings massive destruction and the division of beirut into the christian east and muslim west. the former times correspondent robert fisk decided to base in self permanently in beirut in one nine hundred seventy six. so when i came to bear i already knew the city but i knew it before when i went downtown here i could not believe the extraordinary destruction i mean it takes you

can destroy a city very quickly if it's an awful long time to rebuild it. i casually went to the commodore with a piece stuff just to have lunch sometimes or meet other journalists but i didn't stay there i didn't like it very much when i thought it was another seedy hotel with extraordinary high prices the commodore hotel was safe and so you could be there and it was quite bizarre really you could be in this it'll save enclave and then you went out into a very grave civil war. and the use of management the beirut commodore became a global center for news and information. for years and as i was a young man then and he seemed to have an extraordinary uncanny ability

to know what journalists wanted and he realized quickly and brilliantly that the journalists would need first of all all above. good communications what the commodore had no or else had was communications and you know if a journalist has a story and he can send it he might as well go home and you had three working tax machines and they could get your call to london. use if desired started by using lines and telex machines from his private business in beirut's london a man and cypress but as reported demands grew he had to get hold of extra lines at any cost. if there's a lot. that's a lot of one. or. is that. for both suffer. alone.

as the war spread the militias took control of different neighborhoods the challenge for the commodore was to keep the hotel safe from its media guests. i was there on one occasion. when we were down in the bar and suddenly there was a fantastic noise of gunfire from inside the hotel everyone ducked dunham ok you know everyone was on the floor and the better like that stopped silence the only sound was of the parrot which had a peculiar position on the edge of the bar and the parents. talked quite freely while everyone else was sand which made you half you know in in when you're in when you're frightened you want to laugh it wakes this funny squawking parrot was going on talking. the african parrots name was coco and his party tricks became

legendary. this parrot used to do various things you could do the opening notes of the beethoven's fifth symphony and various other things but it's it's b.s. the resistance was to imitate an incoming show. on the sixth of june one thousand nine hundred eighty two israel invaded lebanon. israel claimed it wanted to take out the p.l.o. the rocket launcher positions but there was more than that to the israeli action. these. really siege of beirut was one of the bloodiest episodes of the whole sorry conflict. the destruction was enormous and twenty thousand lebanese and palestinians were killed and nearly fifty thousand wounded. amid the mayhem the

commodore hotel became the de facto ministry of information. lebanese photo journalist ramzi hyder was at the commodore during the israeli invasion. but. given this so there's a. bus. in the early days of the israeli invasion of lebanon use of stockpiled large amounts of fuel food and cash millions of dollars he said enough for the hotel residents and stand for the months to come. also lent journalists money.

money. flows better. life for the commodore base journalists joining the invasion was tough. west beirut was under siege with constant israeli air raids and reportedly indiscriminate shelling. but they told the real story. i think the beirut siege of i said was a big eye opener for many correspondents who only in the israeli story been to learn. and they were able firsthand when they went out to see the suffering of lebanese and palestinians.
