khashoggi is among the murdered or imprisoned journalists to be named time magazine's person of the year. may's mission to win the late concessions on breaks it but the e.u. rules out any renegotiation. their choice you can't get to where you shouted down you are purely through. u.s. president don't trump and democratic leaders have heated exchanges in the white house over his proposed the border war. and sport a nervous night for last season's champions league final left liverpool at half time there leaving one elegant snappily just enough for them to stay at the tournaments. we begin with breaking news from france the french fire department says at least two people have died in a shooting in strasburg. residence
12:02 am
filmed the aftermath of the incident in the city close to the german border at least ten people have been injured let's go live now to natasha there she is in paris for us following developments and the tasha this happened or at least news started breaking about an hour and a half ago what else do we know at this point. yes details are starting to emerge about what what happened in strasbourg this evening it seems it was around eight or eight thirty local french time when people at a christmas market in strasbourg a city near the german border said they heard gunshots it appears a shooter opened fire at least two people local authorities say have been killed and as many as least eleven people have been injured now what the police are saying is that the shooter is still at large they are still looking for him but they do
12:03 am
know who it is he has been identified because he was known to police services we don't know anything more apparent his identity or is motivations but it seems as if it was well an evening or absolute horror for the people in this christmas market you know i was listening to one our eyewitness a bit earlier who was talking about hearing these gunshots run out people running in all directions in panic one minute been christmas shopping and enjoying themselves and the next minute they were being barricaded by police and restaurants they've been told not to go out to the people in the city have been told by the local marin authorities to stay indoors and stay safe because police are still looking as i said for this gunman so local authorities are telling people to stay indoors for the time being how else as the government responded to this. well this news broke while emmanuel that car the french president was actually
12:04 am
meeting m.p.'s in paris as you might be aware of course france has been in the middle of some protests in the yellow vest protests over the cost of living so him out on my car was meeting m.p.'s talking about those issues when he had to break off that meeting and he instructed his interior minister christophe kasten there to go straight to stress but what we heard a bit earlier from christophe kasten and he confirmed the fact that two people sadly have lost their lives they have been killed by the shooter he didn't say much more because he was a making his way there but you know it has to be said in france these are scenes that seem to be all too familiar because france are suffered so many attacks although they have seen so many circumstances in which people have attacked others whether it's gunfire or with vehicles and again this might be something completely different we don't know perhaps it's gang violence or perhaps the police saying it could be related to terrorism but at this stage they still have to find the shooter
12:05 am
we still need to know who it was why they did it and those are the only things that we know for now stephanie a story that we will be following closely here on al-jazeera for the moment of passion but there in paris thank you. they're being called the guardian's time magazine has named several journalists as its person of the year leading with the murdered saudi journalist jamal khashoggi ashaji has been all murder for speaking out against the brutality of the saudi regime he was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul in october the reuters journalists while on enjoy have also been named their wives are holding up their pictures on this cover here that reporters are being detained in myanmar for their coverage of the range of crisis thanks that is the staff of a newspaper in the u.s. journalists at the capital gazette vowed to continue their work after five of their colleagues were shot dead in their news room in june and for covering the rule of
12:06 am
a populous president and his controversial war on drugs time has also honored maria ressa the editor of the rappler news agency in the philippines who the government accuses of spreading misinformation also in jordan reports. two months after his murder at the saudi consulate in istanbul jamal has been honored for the very reason he was killed for questioning how the saudi regime rules every year the time editors spend months debating and talking about who they think who we think should best represent the trends of the year who had the greatest impact on the news and on the world and this year we've chosen the guardians and the war against truth. introduction and headdress graces one of four covers put out by the magazine we didn't do anything wrong the others feature the two reuters reporters jailed in me in march for reporting on atrocities against the revenge of the staff
12:07 am
of a local us newspaper who survived a deadly attack by a gunman angry with their coverage of his criminal case and a former t.v. reporter turned online website editor in the philippines targeted by a president who doesn't want his behavior covered we are not against the government we are not against president detective but we do want to hold him and his government accountable for the tens of thousands of people who have been killed in the drug war for the impunity that we see online you are creating you had also a lot of the reporters recreating violence by not writing. the fake news is creating violence analysts say press freedom is more vulnerable than ever because politicians on six continents are attacking the public's trust in the media but they add that in washington jamal khashoggi is murder on orders of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon has congress and the public taking a very close look at the trumpet ministrations priorities alliances and values.
12:08 am
this is a moment where one understands that from a foreign policy perspective the us has to demonstrate what it stands for and because shows she killing in the fallout has opened up much of the subtle debates we've had behind the scenes in the full public view and that's why it's become so contentious time editors say and the other honorees symbolize the journalists around the world who try to hold their leaders accountable a tribute to those who question even at catastrophic risk to themselves muslim jordan al-jazeera washington. well joining us now in the studio is rebecca vincent who is the u.k. bureau director of reporters without borders great to have you in the studio thanks so much for coming in so what is your reaction to the fact that the guardians of truth and journalism have been named as person of the year well we think it's really excellent anything like this that can help capture the public's attention to
12:09 am
the issues of safety of journalists in imprisonment of journalists is very welcome and we hope that actually it will help mobilize the public to demands more accountability from from governments in taking action on these serious issues and it's interesting just looking at the people that made the list of course different parts of the world the different reasons behind it but generally speaking what is the situation right now for journalists around the world and crucially has it been getting worse it has indeed been getting worse two thousand and eighteen has proven to be a very deadly year for journalists as of today so far this year we've seen eighty one journalists citizen journalists and media workers killed around the world including jamal khashoggi and including the capital is that journalists who are also named by time today we're also seeing many journalists detained around the world in connection with including well known in kosovo who in fact tomorrow will be the one year anniversary since their arrest but in total as of today we know of three hundred thirty three journalists citizen journalists and media workers detained around the world in connection with the work of how much of a catalyst the case has been because as you mentioned of course is journalists
12:10 am
dying around the world every single day almost but here was a case that was just so shameless it actually did manage to capture the media's attention and the of the world's attention how much of a catalyst you think this has been we think it's been a big wake up call it's clearly captured public attention in a way that other cases haven't perhaps because of the the sheer bald faced impunity with which this crime has been committed we hope that that will really help focus efforts on the need for justice for john lewis so we often talk about these killings but what we don't talk is about as much as the impunity for these crimes which breeds impunity which leaves the door open for other types of journalists not just in the countries where these attacks are. he happened but internationally strong men everywhere know now that they can get away with this and so we must ensure justice in cases like in cases and you know in the united states we've seen killings the share we've seen killings in the e.u. there's there's violence against journalists everywhere and we must root it out we must hold those responsible accountable rebecca vincent from the reporters without
12:11 am
borders thank you. who is staying with the case of jamal khashoggi some congressmen are planning to launch a full review of the u.s. policy towards saudi arabia they also want to assess the trumpet ministrations response to that killing the white house has been on the pressure to hold saudi crown prince mohammed bin someone responsible for the murder meanwhile turkey's foreign minister says his government is talking to the un about launching an investigation into the killing of jamal khashoggi mohammed vall has been following this case against him. turkish officials have been expressing increasing impatience here with regards to the level of cooperation from saudi arabia there are several areas they want to classifications about from the saudis including the whereabouts of the body of the matter including the man who gave the order who gave the order to kill him also the identity of the local collaborator and the extradition of the eighteen suspects none of those requests have been favorably responded to by the
12:12 am
saudis two days ago the saudi foreign minister said no way saudi arabia would hand over the suspects what he believes that it is the only approach that will help go ahead into this investigation because those men are part of the saudi government and they were sent here to commit a heinous crime on the saudi soil so it is a matter of time and all of this has been expressed today by the turkish foreign minister saying turkey will take this file to an international investigation if saudis continue to refuse to respond. we have requests from state leaders from the united nations and the chairman of the human rights committee said that a u.n. investigation must be started we have spoken to our counterparts at the u.n. and others about this topic and we continue to consult each other it will be necessary for this to go through to the u.n. security council however a commission can be set up by the secretary general to investigate the human rights aspects of this matter and the pressure to take the fight to the u.n.
12:13 am
is not only a turkish desire is not only coming from inside turkey but also for the minister said that there have been demands from many quarters including the un including from other international organizations to take this file to the united nations because they think that that's the only way justice can be served to the slain journalist some of caution. let's watch economy here on the al-jazeera news hour including a former canadian diplomat is detained in china as tensions rise over a case targeting chinese tech giant away yemen's warring sides reach out breakthrough at peace talks in sweden and then sports will hear what manchester city's manager has to say about football's fight against racism.
12:14 am
but first u.k. prime minister terry's a may has been leaders in a last ditch attempt to rescue her bracks at the all the e.u. has told me that the talks cannot be reopened and that can only offer reassurances over the northern ireland backstop on monday may postpone the parliamentary vote on the withdrawal agreement which is proving controversial paul brennan reports. she's trying to save not just her breck's it deal but also her credibility and her career teresa mayes whistle stop tour of e.u. leaders started in the hague for breakfast with her dutch counterpart mark router the outcome productive according to a spokesman. in the german capital berlin to read angela merkel the prime minister found herself momentarily trapped in her car. before the e.u.'s open door policy was finally restored. to full term and finally to brussels to explain
12:15 am
british concerns about the irish back stop whatever outcome you want whatever relationship you want with europe in the future there's no deal available it doesn't have a backstop within it but we don't want the backstop to be used and if it is we want to be certain that it is only temporary but do you leaders point out that mrs may signed up to the withdrawal agreement backstop and all just three weeks ago to shore the other e.u. twenty seven leaders that she would be able to carry it through parliament now she's. back for more facing certain defeat at home and an uncertain reception in brussels police no room whatsoever for the negotiation but of course to this room if used intelligently is enough to further clarification and interpretations we vote open you do have to all agree to the sentiment here exasperated at the british political chaos and grim preparedness now for the worst case scenario and it would be even if the only possible agreement and we've done
12:16 am
a lot of concessions to reach it so we sincerely hope that there can be a majority. to or ratify the was the world agreement but they haven't you are ready for a new deal and we are preparing for it downing street says the vote perspective on from choose day may now not take place until mid january i think the prime minister is going to see things through number ten until at least christmas which in modern politics constitutes long term planning here at westminster the prime minister's decision to postpone choose day's crucial votes and head off around europe seeking reassurances clarifications drawn howls of protest from the opposition parties for party leaders have written to the main opposition leader jeremy corbett asking him to join them in trying to force a vote of no confidence in theresa may these are grim times for the british prime minister and her room for maneuver is dwindling but so are the options facing the
12:17 am
u.k. . well paul joins us in the studio now police really does seem that three's a maze under attack pretty much from all sides just how much pressure is there she's under immense pressure i mean you had in my report there they opposition parties are trying to cobble together a kind of consensus they're having difficulty but the rumors that we're hearing tonight and these are feverish rumors that a no confidence vote may come from within to resume his own conservative party. in order to have a no confidence vote in the prime minister the backbenchers of the party that's the rank and file members of parliament have to reach forty eight letters of no confidence and what we're hearing it's rumors it's not been confirmed by the person who actually holds those letters in a safe in the house of parliament is that they may have actually reached that forty eight threshold this is different to what happened two weeks ago where many of the people who are trying to undermine theresa may claimed to have reached forty eight they were wrong but this feels different there is
12:18 am
a huge amount of anger in parliament over the months of the vote the should have taken place today she announced she was pursuing it yesterday and then the prime minister goes off around europe trying to seek reassurances and clarifications that frankly members of parliament here in the u.k. say it's too little too late the deal that she's put on the table they are not willing to support. clarifications and reassurances are not going to change their minds at this stage is very very busy time at westminster i think over the next few days and potentially hours paul brennan thank you well marcus becker is the e.u. correspondent for their spiegel magazine and he joins us live now from brussels i'm sure you've been following everything that's been happening over here and part of terry's amaze a trip around europe today what are they making of all of this in germany. well it's a little a little bit difficult to say i think the predominant theory is that this trip
12:19 am
worse mainly for the it is for trees and maize domestic audience because. nobody saw what she what other purpose it could have had because it was pretty clear from the onset that she was not going to get any more concessions from the e.u. or let alone that the whole package was going to be reopened so people i think do think here that. she did this mainly to somehow score some domestic points spec home being tasered when wanting i guess to potentially renegotiate other concessions or assurances is there anything the thing that the europeans could have given her. well i think it. you can see that there is something is going to happen at the summit like for example today i talked to the two election groups for a minister born and he as well as some of the e.u.
12:20 am
diplomats told me that. there might be a sort of explanatory declaration during the coming hour at the summit this week it's an additional document clarifying things mainly about the island backstop so what and what could be in there is the heads of states and government say that they will do everything in their power to to reach an agreement about the future relationship within the transitional phase after brics it so that he would not need the island backstop however they also stress that such a statement could not be legally binding because otherwise you would put a time limit on backstop and that would deprive the backstop from its function as a secure as it is a insurance policy of you obviously a work in brussels as the correspondent for their spiegel which is one of germany's
12:21 am
a biggest magazines a so i suppose you know you work surrounded by other europeans as well would you say that there is an element of surprise perhaps by just how confusing in some it would say catastrophic the whole breck's of procedure has been so far. well i think there was this kind of surprise earlier on in the negotiations first you know wouldn't you feel if a member. joining the first couple of months when this chaos and confusion to hold everybody was suspecting that there was some some are mysterious poise some some some sophisticated plan behind all this like trying the british government trying to confuse everybody because you know the brits are supposed to have one of the best diplomatic services in the world but and then some kind of shock set in at the realization in europe that there is actually no sophisticated sets plan behind this obviously but it really is caves in the united kingdom yeah i
12:22 am
got to say being here i haven't heard anyone describe what's been going on as a sophisticated plan so i think you're right marcus becker correspondent for their spiegel you've got a couple busy days ahead of you have sure reporting on all of this thank you so much for your time we really appreciate it thank you thank you. now canada's public safety minister says he's deeply concerned about a former diplomat who's been detained in china but the minister insists there is nothing explicit linking it to a case involving the tech giant who are ways chief financial officer moved when joe was arrested earlier this month in vancouver she's accused of breaching u.s. sanctions on iran and is currently fighting extradition let's go live to rob reynolds who is in vancouver for us. actually i don't think we can cross to rob reynolds right now but we will we will hopefully try to speak to him a little later in the program on the latest developments of this case that russia
12:23 am
has landed to strategic bombers capable of carrying nuclear weapons in venezuela that the ploy meant has prompted a fury or so furious response from the u.s. secretary of state michael pale says the two quote corrupt governments or squandering public funds while their people suffer russia as a major lender to venezuela whose economy has collapsed as the price of oil fell let's go to washington now where a photo op between u.s. president donald trump and senior congressional democrats got heated over the issue of border security that extraordinary moment happened in front of the media and t.v. cameras kimberly how could his wife. well it was supposed to be a meeting to try and work out differences and avert a government shutdown but it was apparent very quickly that the conversation and the issues were not going to be resolved the democratic leaders in the senate and the house of representatives in the oval office offering donald trump one point
12:24 am
three billion in funding as part of a bill to fund the government this would be funding for his border wall but donald trump was looking for five billion in funding and as a result the two sides quickly began sparring arguing over the facts in combative conversation you would call twenty turns to shutdown the government you say are i want to shut down the government we don't we want to come to an agreement if we can't come to an agreement we have solutions that will piss the house and senate right no it will not shut down the government and that's what we're urging you to do not threaten to shut down the government it was understood that every choice you can't get to where you shut it down you know if you're the state of the fighting occurred in full view of reporters cameras and carried on for many minutes nancy pelosi repeatedly urging the conversation to be taken behind closed doors saying that this is a climate of destruction in the public view but it does appear that this combative
12:25 am
conversation will continue for some time given the fact that both sides seem very far apart and there isn't much time to resolve the differences if the two sides cannot come to an agreement over the border wall funding and funding the government by december twenty first a partial shutdown will start to occur in the u.s. government essentially twenty five percent of federal agencies including the department of homeland security on a short term spending bill will begin to shut down. kimberly halkett there well now let's go back to the case involving tech giant why ways chief financial officer or a grandchild is standing by in vancouver it's main one jew she was arrested earlier this month in vancouver what are the latest developments with the case. well mon one jew may know within an hour or so whether she is going to receive bail the
12:26 am
judge has recessed the case temporarily but he'll be back in less than an hour now and there are indications from inside the court room that he will then announce his decision this case the jailing of among one joe the top one of the top executives at one of china's top technology country companies while way has touched off a real diplomatic powder keg as you mentioned earlier michael called rick a former canadian diplomat has been placed under arrest in china that confirmed by the canadian government which has indicated it is deeply concerned about the arrest the united states government has also indicated its concern and urged beijing to stop arbitrary detentions now we've learned that the canadian government is considering warning its own citizens of increased risk levels in traveling to china all of this of course taking place in the with the ongoing brutal trade war between
12:27 am
the united states and china. president trump having impose stiff tariffs on chinese goods and the chinese responding in kind those talks there's a glimmer of hope there because a senior chinese trade official has actually reached out to his u.s. counterparts to talk about restarting the talks so a lot of this does revolve around the this extraordinary case of laws joe. joe person who has been described as sort of like the bill gates so or steve jobs of china who is in the courtroom right now behind me waiting to find out whether she will be allowed to go on a supervised release on bail or whether she'll go back behind. barres reynolds with the latest on that case in vancouver thank you. it watching out there are still

12:37 am
parliament he understood where the frustration came from their years. behind the anger expressed on the way people are paid your way we're all aware that there is something else that there is anger of of being left behind on the lack of perspective that there was the choice a conscious or not to lead the public that sleep that there was the choice conscious or not for years certain questions as they were arranged for example the question of massive unemployment pulled out to give the government says its concessions including scrapping fuel tax rises will cost more than eleven billion dollars that risks pushing the budget deficit to three point four percent past the e.u. three percent limit there's no official leadership or be yellow best protesters so it's difficult to gauge a majority opinion on what present mark on had to say or the concessions he made for but we may have to wait until saturday and what's being called act five to see

12:39 am
particularly against the backdrop of the decision by the united states of america italy hungary austria and other countries to pull out from the deal saying that they are concerned it could encourage illegal migration and also very poses threats their own sovereignty the un considers this to be the only platform for the international community to tackle issues like the millions of migrants of refugees already who were driven out of their homes in syria the millions of maya grants in sub-saharan africa hoping to cross into europe the thousands of my gran's hoping along with their families to cross into the united states of america the issue of the detention of children along with their family is on the border between the united states of america and mexico so these are practical terms and the american agreement provides some technical and legal clues as to how to move forward then the biggest challenge is when you have the united states of america under and under
