negotiations rizzoli be visiting the sick. we must not start renegotiating again we are not here to renegotiate. made it clear without high hopes i don't expect an immediate breakthrough but what i do hope is that we can work this quickly as possible on the shorts is this necessary i will be showing the legal and political assurances i believe we need to. promise house on this issue there is appointed which all of this becomes potentially terminal for tourism breaks a deal but not quite yet in january its fate will be decided in the british parliament and such is the professed willingness of e.u. leaders to help that this talk of a january summit here as well at which point maybe some final concession can be made. but there is a fundamental difficulty in the logic of prime minister may's problem dissenting

u.k. m.p.'s want britain to be able to control the mechanisms of the so-called northern . but that would render the backstop worthless as the insurance policy it's intended to be against a hard border on the island of ireland. could you say it's because health credits. and good will changes that. brussels. still ahead on al-jazeera the top court in sri lanka hands down a ruling that's a major setback for the president. and experience the division israelis get a chance to see how palestinians live under occupation.

the rule of law. despite coming to power in two thousand and fifteen the lost credibility for not keeping election promises to stamp out corruption and bring previous offenders just as the president's moved to remove him in such a controversial we support no matter what side of the political divide one thing is clear the verdict delivered by the supreme court is historic for the fact that the country's highest court found the actions of the executive president constitutional but whether this changes the immediate political crisis remains to be seen. as president. for talks. as they rebuild diplomatic relations the two nations agreed to restore ties and fifteen years of hostility. a

sign of the rapidly changing times in the horn of africa. eritrea as president as i as a presence in mogadishu for talks with the somali leader mohammed. his first ever visit and a continuing attempt to mend what has often been fraught relations between the two countries following orders from eritrea's softening stance. there is much riding on this visit past somali administrations had accused eritrea of supplying weapons to al shabab eritrean government has repeatedly denied this saying the accusations were concocted by ethiopia but since july this year both countries said they plan to a stop a diplomatic relations as ties improved across the whole of africa by ethiopia's new reformist leader. the two presidents

fast what once took hundreds of thousands of years has happened in decades since the industrial revolution where burned fossil fuels or will guess and coal to power our changing world and pumped carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere the gases lit the sun's light in but stopped some of that heat escaping warming the planet much like the glass walls of a greenhouse it's now one degree hotter since pre-industrial times where on trek to so past one point five degrees celsius and around twelve years and three degrees at least by the year twenty one hundred our oceans are expanding as they warm arctic sea ice glaciers are melting sea levels have risen by around twenty two seem to meters since eight hundred eighty and that's it just one degree imagine then our

planet at triple that this is the coastal city of shanghai in a three degree world more than seventeen million of you your homes your businesses your lives could be swallowed up by the rising tide the coastal city of miami could cease to exist many of you joining hundreds of millions of climate refugees from coastal cities around the world on the current trajectory expected stream weather events to increase along with insurance premiums for our homes and our health our water supplies and l. food will be affected some crops just won't grow with they once did and they in this the declining health of our oceans the carbon dioxide they absorb is making the waters acidic large underwater areas are becoming uninhabitable from the heat all of this amounts to a compelling case to drastically cut greenhouse gas emissions and make the switch

to clean energy. problem is the world's climate change experts say al pledges in paris three years ago and nearly enough and fact global c o two emissions have gone up for the second year in a row the fossil fuels industry still powers most economies growing grain requires long term thinking and the bite of change. times be sharp some world leaders appear more concerned with winning votes to stay in office no i don't. know you probably don't then how future generations might judge their actions some of us are already taking action the consequences if we don't we'll be catastrophic this isn't a job for future generations for most of us irreversible damage to our planet will happen in our lifetimes. an exhibition of lustrous is giving israelis the chance to experience life in

a palestinian family home they aim to break stereotypes stephanie decker went to take a look which is basically a replica of the two families rooms of the two families living rooms of the two families it's an intimate introduction of two peoples alienated by conflict this israeli artist has drawn on his own experience of growing up next to palestinian neighborhood and a friendship that changed about the years went by and. basically. tore us apart i was really puzzles about how close we are and how far we are from meetings which are graphically very very close but the possibility to maintain and to establish and to kind of. create a normal kind of way of relating and meeting each other was really far from the reality so this living room has been split into two what you're looking at now is the israeli families living room and then on this side is the palestinian families

living in the hope point of this exhibition is to humanize divided people and that happens when you put on these virtual reality glasses and it takes you right inside their homes to meet the family this is the israeli family who you meet while sitting in the palestinian side of the room it's a three sixty view. the daughter talks about how she likes the singer adele the family sits together to eat the kids scuttle around the room it's the same at the home of the palestinian family. here too they talk about their life in the virtual reality glasses make you feel as if they're talking directly at you a group of israeli former teachers is visiting the exhibit when we come to film. they're immersed in the palestinian family's home one day he tells us that it's a visit she's never experienced in real life as a muslim or muhamad to live there is something heartwarming to see that it is in

fact the same thing when we see the horror in the family how things are flowing it is the same thing. god no you ought to see that we are all human beings and to see that we are all equal this is what is significant to me as someone who lives in israel with this conflict. the exhibit is at the youth wing of the israel museum in west jerusalem and the curator tells us it's all about creating empathy our purpose in education here is to break into their lives and bring us in a moment ever together breaking stereotypes remains a real challenge in a deeply divided region where most personal relationships are defined by a never ending complex stephanie decker al-jazeera west jerusalem. virgin galactic says they could start commercial space flights as early as next year this comes after its rocket reached space for the first time on a test flight spaceship to launch from the mojave desert in the western u.s. and reached eighty three kilometers of the earth's surface successful task four

years after the crash of the original spaceship two urging galactic plans to offer a ninety minute space flights for just two hundred fifty thousand dollars. we now have a space that is capable of going to space we'll do more test flights and we'll learn something from each of those test flights then the whole program moves to new mexico to a beautiful spaceport we have that i will go up and then after i've been up. paying passengers who want to become astronauts will will follow and i hope that in the years to come many people watching this program will go to space and become our studios. and richelle carey these are the headlines on al-jazeera and the u.s. senate has passed a resolution to end all military support for the saudi coalition fighting in yemen

and a separate vote senators blame decided crown prince mohammed bin solomon for the murder of journalist. this is now unanimously unanimously the united states senate has said that crown prince mohammed bin solomon is responsible for the murder of jamelle can show you. that is a strong statement i think it speaks to the values that we hold dear the rest of this resolution does i'm glad the senate is speaking with one voice unanimously toward this and. yemen's warring sides who have been meeting in sweden have agreed to a ceasefire and who data the u.n. says as part of the deal government forces and the fighters have agreed to withdraw from the port city it's the main supply route for getting aid into the country after a two day manhunt police in france have found and killed the man they say attacked people to christmas market and stross board trisha cot was shot dead on thursday

ties in july ending fifteen years of hostilities small you had accused eritrea of supporting the armed group. as are the headlines keep it here much more to come people in power is that next. china could be facing a debt i suppose that's according to s. and p. global the trumpet ministration just been insisting towards the saudis and other uses that they want to have more production to cool down the prices we bring you the stories that are shaping the economic world we live in counting the cost on al-jazeera. in june twenty sixth seen in the u.k. decided to leave the european union for two years on amid acrimonious last minute political rows on the exact terms of britain's approaches to disturbing questions have surfaced about the legitimacy of the referendum that began it too we asked

veteran investigative journalist paul lashmar to find out why. so for twenty eight hundreds of thousands of protesters who sent. one of the biggest demonstrations see you can. name to get in the second. thing britain's proposed. european union the only way to come over their own behinds by giving us the people's vote as they begin to decide.

to. do a. lot of us think the remaining is a much better idea and trying to reform the european union make that better robin running and hiding when the brits don't quit. and. britain's prime minister might say the same thing but for a truce of my not quite as many slain face full of the small majority that voted to leave the e.u. two years ago whatever the cause yet what if that focused. what if instead of being a fair reflection. the referendum was one of the biggest ever perpetrated on british democracy in any other election if fraud of base level had to be uncovered then we have the legislation that puts aside the results and we have the election again as the deadline for britain's exit from the

e.u. draws near there are still too many troubling questions about the boat. right. about its fairness and its legitimacy about who was behind it who paid for it and the motives of many of those involved. my name is dr paul lashmar i'm an author and deputy head of journalism at city university of london. is a watershed moment for the u.k. like everyone else my students will be directly affected and look at the mess they've got that could be one of the most important political events of their lives so i've been looking for answers what i've heard is a story so complex and murky it almost defies belief. it only began in twenty thirty to placate a wing of his party that had long been antagonistic to the prime minister david

cameron was taking the biggest gamble of his career but we will give the british people a referendum with a very simple. choice. like it's in the u.k. the referendum was to be overseen by the electoral commission. and you wanted to take part in the public debate the commission designated two official campaign boldy as one of favorite maybe in the you one for leaving and gave each a fixed spending limit of seven million pounds. only british registered donors were allowed to contribute to those campaigns. david cameron became the public face of the pro e.u. campaign better off we are safer in a reformed european union vote leave was fronted by the p.m.'s cabinet colleagues boris johnson and michael gove i think we should take the chance now as

a country to take back control of the pro breck sit side have the backing of another unofficial campaign leave e.u. its most prominent figure was not true for all of the u.k. independence party but cameron's plan backfired against all the old as the u.k. opted for the exit the u.k. has no teats to leave the european union was. a majority i got there on you know history. and the reds. were what the shock on the remains side was profound that early hopes of an easy victory dashed. how had it gone so horribly wrong. as the post-mortems got underway attention began focusing on the role played by social media a powerful tool to sway in public opinion find out more i went to see one of my

university colleagues would be looking at the bracks of debate for a very long time bastos is a specialist in communication so this is what we call a network grass or a plot he showed me a graph of twitter activity during the referendum strange pattern that. we notice a drop in the number of users that we were monitoring it was a significant drop i hadn't seen anything that big up to that point and then it turned out that they had very much to very much sort of work like features thoughts of computer generated accounts program to automatically push messages online. what's happening here is that there's bot his we tweeting a range of real world users for this is a single message in all likelihood it was we tweeted several times by this very same bot marco explained that while bots were used by the remaining campaign it was the leave site that made the most of them but there were more bots leave out of the

campaign for sure. the thing was quite clear some of my colleagues have looked into similar data and they have come to the conclusion that these accounts war at least a portion of them were operated by internet research agency in russia based in. the internet research agency or. is a troll for an organization created expressly to sow discord and disempower mation on the web it was identified by american intelligence as having played a key role in manipulating the twenty sixteen election of president donald trump the no one year to the time it now seems that the also played a role in bret's it. on the death of my friend we found a marked change in behavior so accounts that had been independently tweeting on cracks it suddenly started twisting along. at a brick university research got to do well and has examined millions of tweets that

were posted prior to the referendum many of them it turns out from the same suspect internet research i can see accounts of the tweets at the same format which was not hash tag many u.r.l. and they were using that trending topic so that a lot of people saw i'm a nation and that they were trying to affect accent you see that's just what we have here is trolls so it's human people writing tweet while the flight was being. true scale of the russian twitter activity on briggs it only came to light by accident because the company passed the data to us congressional investigation into the trump election in that probe another key social media player facebook was already playing a starring role. what is facebook doing to prevent foreign actors from interfering in u.s. elections one of my greatest regrets in running the company is that we were slow in

identifying the russian information operations in two thousand and sixteen and that was a big mistake and it was my mistake and i'm sorry. what no one yet fully understands is the role that facebook may have also played in brix it the company says it has found almost no evidence of russian interference and repeated that claim in a statement to this program but research was skeptical but facebook is basically a black box so we don't really know what's going on inside facebook and that's not just facebook that's also instagram what's up in a number of other platforms operated by facebook. the fact that doubts persist is jus in parts of the company's connection to another murky affair. in early twenty eight the guardian newspaper revealed that eighty seven million personal facebook accounts had been illegally harvested by a u.k. based strategic communications business called cambridge analytical it worked with the trunk presidential campaign and had ties to leave the. an offshoot of

a larger company called s c l which had been alleged background in military dissin from ation cambridge analytic as promised was that it could target people with messages to modify their voting choices so for a highly new erotic and conscientious audience you're going to need a message that is rational and fear based or emotionally based the cambridge analytical scandal would eventually wipe almost one hundred twenty billion dollars off of facebook's market value and raise serious questions about the vulnerability of western democracies to manipulation. to find out more i went to meet the journalist behind the guardian's cambridge scoop. told me how she first began to pull the threads together it started in order to confirm the data company's links that leave you she contacted the campaign group spokesman and more than z.

wrote back and he said happy to clarify came originally she did do work for us but we never paid them they were happy to do it for free and i was like there's definitely something interesting here so because this looks like a donation to me and donations need to be declared. chump and for all in front of the golden lift andy's the person who took that photo and the photo of them or he's in one as well the bad boys of bricks it and breaks it he said it was like a petri dish for the charm campaign. you know it was like a test case revelations led to the biggest data protection investigation ever held on both sides of the atlantic we started a conversation with mr soccer team in general that it can start to identify mental vulnerabilities in voters and work to exploit them by targeting information to xining to activate some of the worst characteristics in people such as neuroticism

paranoia and racial biases. chris wiley a former director of cambridge analytic turned whistleblower gave evidence to the u.s. senate and a british parliamentary committee that began taking an interest in the brakes at referendum a fake news it's clicking on the ad and then performing an actual that's what the definition of a conversion they were going to say that i had to these institutions know sheeted the words and the outcome of the referendum might have been different i think it is completely reasonable to say that there could have been a difference in the referendum. you know had there not being in my view cheating there needs to be a deeper investigation of the of fake accounts and agree a facebook groups being used to propagate information and serve it if m.p. damian collins is the chairman of the british parliamentary committee without evidence from facebook we feel that we should hear from opposite because he.
