so they've all got a bit nervous do you discuss this moment so i'm at least not in the main hole is also a little but croons with. lots of alms being twisted and so forth as usual process these climate conferences that let's speak not somebody who knows all about the system here and how it all works out and we'll see how it does transpire morgan from greenpeace had a green peace what's your assessment of where we're at right now well i think that many of the negotiations are done but there are a few sticking points and they're trying to come to a final conclusion for example on will there be a signal for ambition coming out of this conference that countries will do more and the feeling is not good right it's not seeing looking good right now now it's looking like they're going to be very very an ambitious on that that they haven't actually connected that they have to respond to the science and to respond to people and say they're going to go into war that's one key issue so who are the culprits hit because clearly the vulnerable nations and we've heard

a lot from the small island states particularly the very angry about the process if they want to see this great ambition he was withholding well i think the problem is we haven't seen leadership from really anyone except the vulnerable countries the european union for example talks about ambition but when it comes time to support it in text there are no where. of course the united states is absolutely nowhere and you see smaller countries coming forward but that kind of big coalition that can drive things and back down the fossil fuel interests just hasn't emerged here and then tony good to as you and second gen he's been flying around doing shuttle diplomacy trying to make things happen and that probably demonstrates says quite a lot about the presidency of this particular climate conference indeed i think that the presidency here right now while i've i've been very worried about the presidency here i think that if there is something on ambition it could be put forward i think there are. countries that want to bring it forward if it's not

there then he did not drive it he did not push it forward and that i find deeply deeply troubling that's michael good to give the push present to this climate conference is there a possibility that we could come away from here without a deal. there is always a possibility there's always a possibility that they say ok we need more time and i would be surprised at this point in time i think countries understand what's at stake getting this rulebook for the paris agreement is important. give us a set of binding rules for all countries will follow how they report and so we know what's going on so there's a lot of stake for them to walk away from and the small island states in the vulnerable nations are still going to stand firm and they threw out if there is pressure for it to come to an end without a deal i'm sure they will i'm sure that we will hear from them of what's at stake because what we've heard this week you know they their very existence is at stake and so they can't come in here and just say nothing at all or to relieve the time

being let's see how things progress this off today and they did say the meeting was going to start at the quarter to three local time here out of the get started we'll keep you posted but it's very much like. they caught that in poland well still ahead here on al-jazeera the scramble to get aid into yemen through its main port city of the data but more fighting is threatening a truce. how the winter monsoon when the northeast wind blowing steadily now produced a lot of right none of it means case you wouldn't think so from that great care that's not normally high cloud but the persistence of rain those eased off recently has produced several hundred millimeters and flooding there's more to come on sunday maybe especially on monday where as a cloud in china is doing virtually nothing if anything with a lighter wind and still would daytime sunshine is warming up in shanghai and

indeed in hong kong to the west this we've been watching the same sort of consequence from the northeast monsoon has developed a lot of cloud and a spinner here tropical well maybe certain a tropical depression so it's in hot seeing the rain it's heading up now towards the coast of india two was under the dash and it was for the train beyond west bengal that's late season fairly heavy rain again flooding seems quite likely and the day after to feel more very warm seventeen not poor nineteen hundred but that's below average even for this time of the year which is not obviously the warmest for the arabian peninsula generally fine weather the breezes lighten down the gulf potential for sharon east amman is there but look at this massive cloud in the arabian sea although it might just be noticed on the coast of a man more like to produce showers towards and then the horn of africa.

the lights are on. and there's nowhere to hide isn't the easiest way to solve this to allow u.n. observers who you invited into the country earlier this year to finish their job i haven't said it's a right wing conspiracy or anybody's conspiracy. date do you think we're going to see some kind of sea change in the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia we have an obligation there is that journalistic integrity and then in this case it was betrayed totally up front on al-jazeera. is there i'm so robin a reminder of our top stories police have arrested more than one hundred people the

yellow vests protests around the french capital paris and isolated three thousand people turned out in the city center for the fifth weekend of demonstrations far fewer than in previous weeks. also palestinian president mahmoud abbas says all that the reconstruction of an activist home which was demolished by the israeli military. in the day israel's homeowner's son killed a soldier earlier this year palestinians have been protesting against the demolition. because disputed prime minister mahinda rajapaksa has quit he was appointed seven weeks ago setting off a political crisis that we're down to a functioning government. now there's been fighting on the outskirts of the yemeni city of the data less than forty eight hours after government down to three representatives agreed to a cease fire video the t.v. channel appears to show strikes by the saudi coalition which is supporting

government. forces now witnesses say at least one woman was killed and another two severely injured. there this is blood aggression a violation of the cease fire these are two sisters one died in the other one is in critical condition hanging between life and death there and this rant said there are three women the airstrike targeted the residence right here look at the blood look at the shop not the ceasefire they are trying to promote have mercy feel god their worries are the front lines not here and civilians areas where strikes landed just as the un special envoy to yemen was briefing the security council on the recent agreement reached at talks in sweden wanting griffith's described the deal as a significant step forward here and other speakers thank those who supported the talks including the saudi crown prince mohammed bin son martin was the person in charge of saudi arabia's military when it began its strikes in yemen robert malley is the

president and c.e.o. of the international crisis group he says the priority needs to be on ensuring there are no further attacks on her data. at this point given the catastrophe that is yemen the worst humanitarian catastrophe that we're experiencing right now the worst in a generation we're talking about half the population that could be facing famine conditions we have crisis group think it's not time to put to assign blame it's time to fix the problem and to make sure that an assault on the port city for data doesn't occur because that could plunge large swaths of the country into found and so they'll be time to point fingers and to and to turn to recommendation at this point we have a very fragile cease fire agreement cease fires are always breached the question is whether when they breached you come back to you come back to to to to respect them so there's going to be incidents like we seem to experience now what matters is that they come back to their senses and that we have

a ceasefire around the fourth to differ there because if we don't if an assault takes place the country is going to face much worse than it's already faced and it is face terrible condition so the irony of the situation is not one that i think we need to look at there's blame to go around but what needs to happen now there needs to be wisdom to the right. now and again saudi arabia has been growing amongst us politicians with the senate passing a resolution to condemn its long standing ally for the war in the oven senators also blame the saudi prince for the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi as you graham from doubletons republican party is warning of die consequences if strong action isn't taken against the saudi crown prince over the murder. i know what happened with him b.s. those fifteen people left saudi arabia did so under the command in the direction of the m.b.a.'s who have been focusing on because as a critic for two years he's renditioned people he's taken people from other countries saudi citizens brought him back to saudi arabia to use them this is

a pattern for him he did it he knew about it couldn't happen without his knowledge i'm not going to forgive it big deal we need to come down hard because if we don't we're opening up pandora's box. ukraine's all thoughts pre-sold meeting in kiev to create a church independent of russian influence tensions have been building since the fall of the soviet union in one thousand nine hundred but have intensified in the last four years since russia and its the ukrainian peninsula of crimea ripples. a place to worship goals or russia the cathedral of nativity is it the same to over theological rift in ukraine the orthodox faith is split into factions russian lives and ukrainian laid priests and a tall east church is one of more than twelve thousand that aligns itself with russia on saturday he must pick sides orthodox priest will meet in q. to civil same trees on ties with russia and creates

border she was then transported in the bus journey of some one and a half hours to a customs and border detention center she felt ill during that journey she was then transported by helicopter to a hospital at el paso where she was pronounced dead of brain and liver failure it's a horrific situation there's no there's no two ways about it and it's. it's a sad time but it's also senseless it's a needless death and it's one hundred percent preventable if we could just come together and pass some commonsense laws to disincentive eyes people from coming up from the border and encourage them to do it the right way the legal way but critics contend that the trumpet ministration policy is the direct cause of the seven year old's death saying that they are making it so difficult for people to cross the border that they are traveling to more remote and therefore more dangerous areas in

the to get into the united states the customs and border protection commissioner kevin mccullough in an address the senate judiciary committee on tuesday and he confirmed the fact that boy more people were attempting to cross that remote southwestern border this a major issue he contends but at the same time he did not mention the death of the seven year old despite the fact that she had died five days before he spoke to the dish or re committee it is law that such a death be reported to a congressional body within twenty four hours so questions about the commissioner questions about the trumpet ministration broad border policy. origin team has long been recognized as one of latin america's most important literary capitals but as economic crisis threatens to open a new chapter for the country's book publishing sector treason takes up the story

a small bookstores like this one that play a crucial role in the fiftieth cultural life and even though libraries are offering customers the possibility of finding food in their purchases it has not been enough the ongoing recession is forcing many to shut down. in the last two years more than thirty five bookstores have closed or been bought out by larger companies things are in getting any better with book sales dropping just over ten percent so far this year see a home in the north and so on the run of this office space has gone up the electricity bills tripled water bills have doubled inflation is over forty percent but we can increase the prices as much because if we did we'd be out of business we're asking for some tax benefits to make it a bit easier for us but nothing has been resolved. the argentine pork industry says it's warned about the current situation as impact will be felt not just in lost jobs but also culturally. the biggest problem is

a drop in consumption and this is something affecting most sectors of the economy there are some small measures that can definitely help but the biggest problem is that people are buying less books that means they're reading last and this is a drop in the consumption of cultural good. austerity inflation and the i.m.f. bailout everyone's minds in argentina these days it appears the skate found in a good book is a luxury many here can no longer afford. about thirty people have been injured in portugal's capital lisbon the tram derailed during rush hour police say it's turned the bottom of a steep hill when the incident happened the courage is rolled over trapping more than a dozen passengers. your

also known as obamacare is unconstitutional the decision last uncertainty on the insurance coverage of millions of americans those were the headlines here on al-jazeera do stay with us up front is next. getting to the heart of the matter how can you be a refugee after a while it borders between five safe countries facing realities. from the very beginning by. providing context housing is not just about four walls and hear their story and talk to how does iraq are we any closer to ending the devastating war in yemen after this latest round of peace talks in sweden the u.n. special envoy for yemen martin griffith.

i'm at the house and voters in africa's most populous country nigeria will be picking their next president early next year but which of the candidates has the best plan to end corruption and defeat boko haram that's our debate but first after november marked the deadliest month this year for the saudi led war in yemen members of the rebel movement and the country's official government met in sweden this week for u.n. sponsored peace talks but are we any closer to ending that conflict earlier i asked this week's headliner from sweden the u.n. special envoy for yemen martin griffiths. martin griffiths thanks for joining me up front this week in sweden you reached what many are calling a major breakthrough in peace talks between the leaders and the saudi backed government of yemen are we now a step closer to ending the war in yemen. well i certainly hope so it's been seven days of hard work here in sweden both parties who came the governor yemen and.

have worked a great deal to achieve these agreements all of which will be published so that people can see what the people what they can expect to happen in yemen i think it's a big step forward but it's the first big step forward you didn't just get a prisoner swap you got a cease fire and a crucial deal of access to the port city of who data which you've described as the center of gravity in this war will we now see a major and immediate and urgent increase in the mount of humanitarian aid getting into yemen which the u.n. has called the world's worst humanitarian crisis isn't that the priority well it is the priority and i think the reason why we all focused very very much on her data and by the way we the united nations and the u.n. security council has been focused on her data for many months because of our exiled sees about the humanitarian pipeline being affected by the battle and i think we

we've put a spike in the road on that so i think we will stop that happening the first thing that i hope will happen is that the united nations world food program will be able to play a supervisory role in the port and it will backstop the port authority of the three ports of data solely for us lisa it will be then for the members of the security council to decide and to decide hopefully very very quickly whether a resolution is needed to provide backing for the un deployment that will need to happen in one day i get that you're a diplomat and then negotiate and you speak diplomatically but you did say earlier this week after an agreement on the release of prisoners in yemen that quote yemenis should be proud of the people sitting around the table today but if you were one of the eight million yemenis on the brink. of a major famine if you are one of the families of the thousands who have died in the

war in the cholera outbreak the twenty two million people who are in desperate need of food aid should they really be proud of people on all sides who have brought such a horrific war to that country they should be proud of people whose presence here and whose decisions here. create the conditions for peace and create the conditions for the humanitarian supplies that you've been describing so in my career not as a diplomat but as a mediator i've always wanted to try to understand that how the people who manage wars can shift into producing peace is not easy you have to take the moment and we hope that one of the first moments in yemen has been here in sweden this week is it one of the problems with negotiations like this one that you bring both sides to the table as if they're equal parties when in actual fact one side is a rebel group which is yes violated international laws being accused of committing war crimes but the other side is

a saudi led coalition which supports the un recognized government but which according to the u.n. itself is responsible for the vast majority of civilian casualties for the tens of thousands of people who've died over the past few years. by job is to find agreement between the parties to stop the war so the people of yemen can be returned to a seville life the people who can stop that war the people who are overseeing the fighting of it and the conflict in yemen is as you say between the legitimate government of yemen. and between them and the answer other as a mediator it's not actually my primary purpose to make political judgments about these two although i'm guided obviously by security council resolutions including the crucial one two two one six but my job is to find places where the two can respect each other's decisions to change the narrative in yemen. i profoundly believe not just from we haven't but from my other experience in other conflicts

this begins when you start listening to those two sides when you start respecting them and when you start helping them to find agreements that will move history that's what we're here to do rather than decide who's right who's wrong and why did this start in the first place some say it's not just two sides though the problem with yemen they say is that there's multiple sides outside actors it's become more of a proxy war than just a domestic civil war is that a fair assessment do you see this more of a proxy war than a civil war i see it as a strategic conflict perhaps a different slightly different perspective i think yemen is is that the result of the cover in yemen is frankly as important for people in europe because of the red sea shipping lanes in the trade routes that come through the red sea in a sense it's almost as it is for the region the need for stability in the gulf the fact that member states in the region and beyond the region frankly have interests and stability in yemen is not surprising nor should it shock us having said that

why we need to take those interests into account and certainly in the united nations that's a natural. issue for us to address the emphasis on the in the process that i'm involved in is on yemenis agreeing between yemenis about ways to run yemen so it's not about other foreigners being around the table to make decisions the people around this table in sweden were all yemenis and i've profoundly believe and this is what the united nations believes that that is right and proper you say it's not shocking that other countries in the neighborhood in the region should have interests in yemen and beyond but it was pretty shocking last month when reports emerged that saudi arabia and the u.a.e. had lobbied the u.n. security council members to stall a cease fire resolution as someone who's trying to get a cease fire a sustainable cease fire surely that must shock you when parties. the conflict a lot being you all bosses at the u.n. security council at the u.n.

building in new york to prevent such a deal i think there were many many reasons why there were different views about that security council resolution as a member of the u.n. secretary i did not get drawn on the rights and wrongs of any resolution that's for them as of that council but if you ask me whether i'm shocked about where the parties to one conflict or another or having some relationship to it have strong views about issues related to it and its resolution if i was it would be absurd for me to be shocked about that what i need to do is to understand why people have different approaches to resolving this conflict i think that's perfectly normal every conflict you see that and we need to understand that so that we can actually find their way through it to resolve the conflict it's easy to call for a ceasefire and if somebody like me and you who want peace in the world naturally stopping people killing each other is has to be a good thing but cease fires are difficult to make work in

a cease fire that is called for and then breaks doesn't build confidence it breaks confidence it takes you back words so it's sensual for somebody in the position that i'm in so look very carefully at the prospects for any cease fire how would it work how would it build confidence how will it save lives and will it alternatively do the opposite and breach the confidence between the parties so it's not a simple judgment martin you're an experienced negotiator you worked extensively with three u.n. envoys to syria how difficult has this conflict in yemen been to quote unquote resolve end compared to an equally horrific syrian conflict i feel like all of us extraordinarily sad about what's happened in syria i got involved firstly with coffee and out in twenty twelve then with his successor. and then stuff and of a story or and you know we all had hopes from the beginning of that

conflict that it would be soon resolved that ceasefire twenty twelve when i look at yemen. in some sense it's simpler it's perhaps at an earlier stage even though it's four year war than something we see in syria and so what i write when i look at you have and i think let us resolve this now before it becomes even more intractable than it is i think yemen is a hope for the international community is hope for the people of yemen first i think it can be resolved the fact that we got these quite remarkable agreements in the last seven days in sweden gives us some idea that that could be true just to push back on that point and i hope you're right about the hope and about the agreements this week but just to push back and say do you understand why a lot of people around the world look at the u.n. in syria the u.n. in yemen the u.n. in libya maybe in myanmar as well and say we've given up on this organization it

just doesn't work anymore just doesn't succeed in doing what it was supposed to succeed you get why there's a lot of disillusionment with the u.n. across the globe right now well i think there's lots of different uns and i've worked in different parts of it if you want to talk about the u.n. humanitarian agencies whether in syria or yemen i think that kind of comment is utterly unfair and utterly inaccurate they do extraordinary work in times of great difficulty and they save many many lives now in terms of peacemaking negotiating let's be very clear i don't say this to. be pleading it is the parties who decide to resolve a conflict it is not the u.n. it is not the mediator it is their decision whether they will resolve a conflict or not the decisions that made this week in sweden without my decisions i was here to help them come to those decisions but it is their achievement their compliance their performance which is being watched not mine this isn't the un this

is the parties to a conflict and the un's job my job it's very thing we care through diploma. see through mediation through urging through patience through listening through respect to give them the chance to do the right thing but if they don't want to do the right thing they won't martin griffiths thanks for joining me on upfront good luck . in february nigerians will go to the polls to elect their next president the incumbent muhammadu buhari of the all progressives congress is running for a second time despite promising to serve only one term and his main competitor is a former vice president. running this time for the opposition people's democratic party but which of them is best placed to defeat corruption and violence in africa's biggest economy joining me now from a budget to debate this are the candidates official spokesman festus k r for president bihari and shay good and soon me speaking on behalf of opposition

candidate attic abu bakar thank you both for joining me on upfront festus k r let me start with you president biharis approval rating has been below fifty percent for most of this year do you really expect him to be reelected come next february. where there will be a real record and we're back. by a very wide margin ok show me how a nigerian supposed to trust former vice president after other varchar when he keeps trying to run for president under different parties at least for i counted over the last couple of decades nigerians have to trust. because they know that the democratic experiment in nigeria has been a difficult journey and it just took in the tenacity of people like. the two parties nigeria's and the international community will require that article

was instrumental to the criminal p.d.p. he. also played significant real showing that the a.p. should give an. are planning to stay in that party this time i think that's a crowbar has come to a point where he believes in terms of party administration on getting the party to come alive you have done his duty so i can tell you for free that he's going to be staying in the party and isn't a part of the state let me i stress this is question over two years ago just over two years ago first as president harry said his government would quote not encourage expending nigerian hard earned resources on any government official seeking medical care abroad and yet he himself the president has been receiving treatment abroad for almost two years for another no the illness that he refuses to discuss is not hypocritical of the president's part festus primed to rebuild ordered dumbbell structure all that are left behind they learn this country and

around that are absolutely not going to rely upon you think it would have been different if we're talking about from what africa people that had no bad mood before. you know i found in you know knowledge done well and good luck to people not you not what you could write they were good outlook you up about how to get money or law so does he did should he apologize for having said that he wouldn't send government officials abroad for medical care and then going abroad himself at taxpayers' expense for medical care abroad he never did he never going to a country where that i don't know i kind of remembered a key club and it made a particle of them and well you know you have to rebuild infrastructure because you do that in much of else you have to rebuild infrastructure because i am not a gun and you don't expect people to die don't let me and you look back in a call in the day of help that is in effect about that would be tommy now you me after think help elsewhere and to rebuild what the damaged before they left ok let

me ask you this what did he go abroad to get help with well i'm not a doctor oh i thought country don't yet give me. medical records i can not use doctor why is it a secret for the president of nigeria to not share his health most leaders tell the public if they have a health problem why is he got a secret illness that he won't talk about because a replica template or a booklet when you read the road that tells you that you're not saying there's no political template or booklet anywhere in the world that says you must do so in a democracy the people have a right to know don't know if their president is healthy not healthy if he's going abroad to get treatment at taxpayers' expense what they're for. i don't have medical doctor but your response why did you want him to be reelected for several more years does the people have a right to know before they vote for him again if he's healthy or not and whether you can even seven other time in office run when he tells you don't run and tell him he's medical doctor. he's going to have brought to tears running

about africans who got on how do i not i don't exactly have private. ok let me ask with your candidate who is also in his seventy's i believe will he be releasing all his medical records and being completely transparent about his health before the election in february we challenge them on e bay i agree let us bring down subject point medicaid we will make the at the state of the wellness my candidate isn't the problem for your candidate that he may not have a health question mark over him but he does have a corruption question mark over him because there's this suspect forty million dollars that went into the u.s. via offshore wire transfers that makes him look pretty bad he may be innocent but it doesn't look good for his image does it when he's running for president when he's got this unanswered questions about forty million dollars being transferred into the u.s. nigeria is a country that relies on very countries things that particular issue that you're

talking about at the time when my candidate trying very much to found an american style university. and because it had not been money sitting in one account he gave a lot of his business interests and some of what is from the activity is a given that this business is well not in the blind trust and it got the money the . issue is ready it was investigated it was close it was clearly shown not to be preceded crime it was sure not to be anything. yep illiquidity did as another writer we must be careful that we do not take serious to me grand larceny a good article has no corruption on it or anywhere else knowing that what you say anywhere let me know if we're going to get any time i just said you know ok we're running out of time i do

a little something i do want to discuss something else in the show very important let's talk about boko haram festus was there a mistake for president bihari to say back at the start of this year that boko haram had been quote beaten because several hundred nigerians have been killed by boko haram in suicide bombings and many other attacks since he made that claim let me first of all i've missed the fact that boko haram is detaching from lives you forgot people are still dying after results of it after mexico or is not a literally the numbers are not under a tree that's not me my interest is far cry from where we are coming from this was both around that took this route that developed to talk to pass on that you were out of the all of government of what of that did you think to try to come back to power so when the president took over power and twenty three think boko haram was occupying about fourteen make the government iraq in the not in the actual it was a matter of luck they have to use a lot of local governments and for that you're

a long time chart of a part of history three ok i haven't actually and probably capital watch out so you're saying well we're not building if you're saying you're winning against boko haram what are you had bombed you know bit by iraq but right now this point we're making it's got so much progress are going make about progress is on the run how do we reduce sakta difficulty being someone outside of our home or your president said he said boko haram has been beaten that is incorrect is it not well boko haram have been decimated not totally eliminated but we decimated he said we have beaten we. some just need to know what you are inside and i'm serious broke up with him not me from having detonated because of the if you were king. they don't appreciate any radical you not what you say you're very progress ok when i get up. let me ask you this is a form a decorated military general like muhammad you bihari can't beat boko haram then

why should anyone believe your candidate for the vice president of a buck or a from a businessman is the man to beat the unique plan does he have that no other nigerians have the president i want to say that but that in the not star rejoined before he became president right now but i am a criminal activities of baal is now spread to the not east the not the west the not central and almost every part of the your article in the south is what you are saying is up because it is mishandling he is like an understanding that there is the listen aspect to management terrorism and that the military aspect of money did terrorism he's bungled aids for all your information i took my book back i spent the past twenty yes. it cost him up a side that got him the opportunity to not how to manage the battle to stop the

lies the battle to be able to reduce the in for criminal element and simply prevent smaller light from coming in a gun above that he's going to be done in an exclusive country that's just do you want to respond to that. critique of your president going to respond briefly correct your time your country got here trying to back up our country prime rib falcon you know i was probably right we talk every day something abstract people not rub it into you got lucky not end up but romney for britain and you're probably in the park where you're not where government not true that what have you got the bigger point they want to ride on to par. no every day absolutely. everybody not only took one good not you got rid drunk enough a good. president man your gum economy and every contest i've got all finished will either of you can do this do anything to restrain the nigerian army which has been accused of gross human rights violations by amnesty by human rights

watch of shooting nigerian shia protesters with live ammunition either of your candidates going to restrain the nigerian armed forces hold them to account. well i get where you're headed off of the militants in iraq i'm not going to support one but i met. president carter get the book to go and. if not for me then got a couple of i wrote an op and going through it got the bottom up a knock at my remit and finish your point about the nigerian army festus and then she did not do not military. i told you just to finish your point and then we'll go to show you and she would hold on they're not permanently hostile or from orbit and i don't recall really i mean help brought up to go home at the time i'm not going to what i'm going to now can i run the human rights watch disagree with you as you can that are going to do anything about the crimes that some nigerian

soldiers accused of the piston is going to do. a security at the country to determine whether the men i was eight whether they have acute meant another condition or service is good enough but then the simple answer my candidate is going to do is take a look at the repeated by amnesty and eleven ad agencies actually i'm serious question ok it does to get the panel said military to seriously have the military and other to sell you cannot kill people want only you cannot do the nigerians and i'm a candidate. and every nigerian letter will meet ok the letter of the said they will let the civilian let me live complete military. ability to make. one last question to both of you more than sixty percent of nigeria's population is below the age of twenty five yet both of your candidates all over the age of seventy both of the born before the jury and independents isn't it time given the

problems nigeria continues to face some new leadership new faces a new generation maybe i have great. rock we are. we are gradually moving up to a point point where we have to hand over to the younger generation we're talking to get caught up in a team we need to be cautious practice time because we're putting to a very good function oculus appeared well the economy was the most articulate a possible damage and then disappeared out of conference and we have a chance to rebuild our ranks the rebuilding just a very convenient bank we can talk to the younger generation shaken wouldn't you be in a stronger position if you were putting up a new face a fresh face against muhammadu buhari in february you cannot handle two nigeria young people a divided country you need to you need to make it united failed you can't do that that's why we're sending somebody to blow shit out our country to get nigeria working again to make nigeria live better to create jobs for the nigerian people to

build nigeria because at the period of a country that does everything and lives to be among the community of nations thank you gentlemen we'll have to leave it there thank you both for joining me up front. as britain prepares to execute the people in power investigates disturbing allegations about the tactics used by the winning leave campaign we know the law was broken and we know that campaigns over spent we know that russia tried to build a relationship with one of the key campaigns who paid for bricks it people in power on al-jazeera. the latest news as it breaks the yellow that the belly of it will continue not only into the night but into the next week with

right. here with the newsgroup we're streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com more than one hundred yellow vests protesters have been arrested in paris they've been weeks of sometimes violent protests right across the city and despite recent concessions from the president the demonstrators are threatening to continue their protests take a look at the live pictures coming in to us right now from paris but the number of people taking part in these demonstrations you see is down this weekend we'll get an update from our reporter in paris in a moment but first and her simmons has this report. seems here like previous weeks but this has been a saturday so far marked by a decline in. the yellow vest protest is at the focal point of street action the

arc de triomphe police number the demonstrators early on saturday the crowd here has been told the security forces have lifted a colden protest as camacho. that they will stop from going further then pending in the pavement it was passive resistance and some strong imagery in these women dressed as merrier. a symbol of the french republic facing off the police in riot gear and upon the settlers possibility this we could seen a major attempt from president a money well maccarone to try to quell the protests with tax concessions and the increase in the minimum wage may have had some effect but the people here say the numbers may be down for a variety of reasons but momentum is still strong you know much of the movement will be just like the numbers are down because we have been protesting for five weeks it's long simula vestas chose to stay at home or on the roundabout in their

town some couldn't come to paris it's also a result of the strasberg attack and i'm going to point is he knew those measures announced by my count come from an illegitimate government and he has just done this for our movement to stop because it has hurt his popularity and image abroad a given our rights are not respected i would keep fighting. another factor that might explain lower numbers is the strasburg attack on tuesday in which four people were killed with security forces stretched the government had called on the yellow vests to scale down the protests and aside from all that the christmas holiday season is here although you'd never guess that by looking at the show's ollie's a this weekend the numbers on the streets maybe fewer but it could be premature to conclude right now the president macro was calming things because the momentum evidently still appears to be here the show is ollie's a midday on a saturday ten days before christmas would normally be packed with shoppers but no

no look who has possession of the show as early as a. under simmons al jazeera powers and it was a similar story outside of paris these pictures coming into us from the western city of nonce where large clouds of tear gas as you can see right there could be seen wafting down the city's streets but let's cross back to paris now and bring in bernard smith who is joining us there from there bernard what is the situation now where you are because we are hearing that people have been arrested. there have been a restoration a lot a lot less of detentions rather than last week though this. the op are in the past a lot of there was a significant gathering earlier on but are there other parts of a lot of the yellow vest protesters dispersed they were trying to sort of have moving marches today we know that's in smaller smaller gatherings in different parts of the city and occasionally you'll see some screaming sirens hurtling down

the road where they might be going in the next gathering but what is significant important to remember is that although the numbers are down the disruption in paris is as great as it was perhaps last i saw them just for example again lots of businesses and the cover was just for business christmas attack in the. boarded up closed this is a jewelry store there's another bank behind me over the boarded up cafe across the street boarded up because the protesters have scared people away from central paris they forced the authorities of close many of the metro stations if you want to come into town it's very hard there are shop was back out on the street and so on the biggest stores that closed last weekend have opened this weekend but there's still been a significant financial cost of the weeks of these protesters and bernard to some of her viewers on facebook asking this in fact is this the beginning of a quote unquote european spring what are the protestors that you're speaking you're

telling you about what they plan to do going forward. well i think earlier on in the way we went through there's a lot of small roundabouts around france where there's you lazio you all of us protest is to gather during the week when the not having protests in city centers a lot of them very unhappy with the concessions given by president micron because despite those small concessions a small increase in the minimum wage and some cuts or consolation of tax increases for pensioners there are many. people in france one of the highest taxed countries in europe very hard people to make ends meet in the frustration there was a tax rise in fuel duty that was the straw that broke the camel's back but in fact there are a lot of people just very frustrated about the difficulty of enjoying life anymore because all of the money they've earned they spend by the middle of the month and they've got nothing to spend to be able to go out or to buy something nice that's the general complaint they just cannot manage anymore to read not the main problem
