1:03 pm
that comes out and says we have twelve years to keep global average temperature below one point five degrees so you would expect countries would come here and say we get it we're going to do more we didn't get that here we didn't get that clear signal and i think there's a huge gap between the science the public and what governments are willing to commit to. and here the only things left there's just some technical things so the big things here are really done as ever this was a long exhausting process negotiators working through the night seeking agreement. there were constant reminders for delegates from the sidelines up in the pressure to get something done before tonight it started and finished with stark warnings about where we're heading from two generations the people have spoken leaders of the world you must leave the continuation of

1:06 pm
a half degrees what is absolutely critical that we want to avoid and let's just do that i think i think that i think that's where the game is i don't think one point five years and it's it's on the table. to south asia now where we claim a single has been reappointed lanka's prime minister nearly two months after his firing set off a political crisis in the island state now he took the oath of office before the president and the palace said a son of a man who sacked him prime minister would claim a single always maintained his dismissal was unlawful his replacement failed to get parliament's approval. there were no at the end man. and let the mandela air today we're committing to be first bringing back normalcy to the country and then bring back development as well i'm pledging to bring

a better standard of living for all economically and socially wilful and as our correspondent in colombo has been following events now it really has been quite a dramatic few weeks for sri lanka and its people and while there has been a swearing in what one does really what happens now. so for all intents and purposes with the swearing in of run over promising her we have government back in power at least we have a prime minister he did talk about the rest of these appointments be medias to now look at a cabinet that in itself is not going to be an easy task he's got to basically balance of who he's going to pick for his cabinet the united national party vicar missing his party had aligned with the other party is for a national coalition government previously they still might need to look at that in terms of ensuring the numbers so the immediate sort of aftermath of the vicar
1:08 pm
missing her appointment once again to look at the technicalities of setting up the government and the cabinet so here but beyond that there is still a lot of work to do a lot of balls really the relationships between the newly sworn in prime minister and the incumbent president i mean it is an awkward situation one but these two men have to find a way of really getting through to reassure not just the international community but also most probably the people at large across sri lanka that it's workers normal let's try and move all. that's pretty much what it is so her life i think both men seasoned politicians knowing that they have to face the task of getting back to business and getting back to business fast a lot of water under the bridge a lot of sort of scathing personal attacks almost we had the present mighty policy
1:09 pm
saying they're vowing never to work with because i'm seeing her again going to the extent where he said he entire parliament asked him he would still not for the moment you know i think we've lost an hour but we will of course go back to work through the day as we get more reaction from sri lanka as the former prime minister is reinstated into office. plenty more ahead here on the al-jazeera news hour including zimbabwe's working party celebrates the president's latest plans to turn things around but the people are running out of patience also pushing the boundaries despite censorship thousands turn out to see this year's offerings the be have an international film festival. called your big city rain for the oklahoma city thunder as they beat the toughest call over here with maurice force.

1:15 pm
of the foreign affairs. excellences the a colleague's liz and gentlemen all part of all of serves this early morning is a clear demonstration of the exemplary nature of the partnership between the state of the united nations and they want to express my very deep gratitude on behalf of all u.n. agencies and departments represented ian and of behalf of the un as a whole for the extremely important supports that was signed here that represents a major contribution to the work of our agencies in so many different areas saying so the law city of the state has got the designers the image. but we need to look into the what was signed today not only as a very important and generous financial contribution to the work of the un but as
1:16 pm
a qualitative change in the nature of our partners. we are not discussing the support to specific projects in these or that part of the world for these or that objectives we are signing agreements for the permanent presence of agencies in qatar and we are signing multi-year contributions to the cause of the it is the difference un entities which means as to the digic partnership which means a permanent partnership that builds the ip into the work we do and allows qatar to have also an important voice in relation to the very important discussions we have about the future of our own operations involves our arms that searches so this is the kind of partnership that is of course much more valuable for us then. and i know that qatar will be going on country will think to lots of development
1:17 pm
humanitarian projects around the world with the un and with other partners in the most different circumstances but. much more relevant than those generous contributions on a project by project basis is this quantum leap in the nature of our relationship that i very much welcome we became i would say structural partners in relation to the central objectives of the un in all their their mansions. on the other hand i think it's important to underline the fact that qatar is not only presence in the un. in the bilateral relations between states and that international organization of qatar is been extremely in front in the sense of discussions we take in the united nations and i would like to say that the permanent rhythm of qatar in the u.n. is one of the most active representatives and that's your voice is heard when the
1:18 pm
u.n. is discussing acting in the most different aspects of its different peoples of activity between peace and security be seen sustainable and inclusive development be seen human rights and there i would like also to underline the importance of the qatari contributions in all these pillars peace and security is not only the support of the office of counterterrorism but. very recently agreements very important the limits of that full what again sanctioned qatar has been extremely relevant in the mediation of conflicts and in bringing peace to the situations in the region on the other hand i know that sustainable development goals and of the agenda twenty thirty are very high in the priorities of the sinus the me and on the other hand that is it was of god that we just came from. meeting with the shaker moore's and
1:19 pm
a discussion in university many institutions. are extremely active in the central espec of development education health and all of. that mentions that make our cooperation extremely important and final human rights that is exceeded to the governance of political and civil rights and economic social and cultural rights and qatar is becoming more and more presence in very important initiatives taken namely accountability in relation to the syria conflict and others that make it clear that qatar is actively engaged in having human rights as one of the central objectives as its policy both internally and externally for all these reasons i am extremely happy to be today in door after a hectic period of activity of the un in different. in different.
1:20 pm
platforms. to see our relationship transformed into a strategic and cultural partnership that will have i'm sure very important consequences in the future and of all the agreements signed today wants to say emotionally that one repents for me something of enormous importance the fact. that you know as a sixteen difficulties this year and that was able to survive blood's with thanks to the contribution of a number of states but including the set of at that with a very generous donation is signing also. and they get immense to its core and with a multi-year perspective which represents our commitment to go on supporting refugees and to be able to. not let behind
1:21 pm
those that suffer when of the most so the domestic situations in the world and for that reason i want to express the special. i want to to to to to really have a special expression of gratitude thank you it any thank you. thank your exes is for statement and now will open the door for their exes he's to receive the questions from the media just a short time in will be able to have only for questions blair jazeera a so and they question him. to move the secret journal and we have the united nations. be a very. big on behalf of. sensation
1:22 pm
is very low i'm listening to you but yes he has done a translator and i only see of this in the. ok you might feel a little bit low and starting from the beginning. to end it i mean it out. there you're not going to find sickly generals and their relation to the. case the . human rights spokesperson said that the investigation. by conducted by the saudi arabia was not sufficient. and the the turkish foreign minister must have. shown you know more details about the case of what is your comment on what details have you been. disclosed which
1:23 pm
has been disclosed to you and what the saudis. what detail the saudis have and what have you seen so far is better than except those that is well known by the media so that's my source of information is the media. and edition to these what we have said since the beginning is it's absolutely essential to have a credible investigation and to have the punishment of those that were guilty. so i want to know what is the delay in the united nations declaring family in yemen. the declaration of famine is a technical declaration that relates to
1:24 pm
a number of indicators. and sometimes people think that affect that feminism not that it doesn't means that people are not suffering no there is a high level of hunger in yemen we are supporting eight million people with food in yemen and we assume that if the humanitarian situation does not improve will be supporting fourteen million people next year and there is indeed hunger in yemen that is extremely worrying the question of calling it feminism's i said a strictly technical seemed related to a number of pretty muted but emitters but the effect that was not yet declared there's not in any way diminishes our a huge concern with the very high level of hunger that exists in in yemen with the number of people dying in very that emetic circumstances and with effect
1:25 pm
that to be dealt peace we will be facing in two thousand and nineteen much worse situation than today. so a man in a job. and managing our correspondence over the arab t.v. in qatar mr prime minister i have a question day before yesterday you have welcomed the quitely initiative there has been no talk about the quality initiative which is a suspended initiative the talks in riyadh the emir of kuwait. about alleviation of. the reduction of media coverage between the countries i would like to ask you that you said there. is a. part. of the united nations and you say qatar has been subjected
1:26 pm
to c h and the united nation has been absent even from the or supporting some of the initiatives what is your comment in respect of qatar position and the. siege that has been going on for a year on a half. that's far as they all come in of qatar of the initiative is something that is not new we have all that has always will come at all the initiatives that. come before rugby or emir of kuwait is very appreciated with his effort and his efforts are still receiving great appreciation from the quite probably the qatari people. but it. has not been put into practice this is because of the in crunch regions. of the. countries and the. fact that we are still open for discussion based on
1:27 pm
mutual respect between the countries and also to engage and then deal with the main. allegations both we unfortunately keep hearing about many false accusations and the whole world is witness and there is no earth and the world knows that it has been no tangible accusations and we know and everyone knows that they don't stand on very firm ground with their. accusations however qatar has still been steadfast and that has been. turned in and it does not wish to get countries under siege to stop fighting with the same and old like also to comment on the question to the secretary general of qatar while comes the. role of the united nations it erodes united nations is not only the second in the
1:28 pm
general alone but there are other areas in the united nations that qatar appreciates and really is grateful and of course we participate as qatar in assist in any humanitarian issues and also. qatar does not seek anything than assist in the united nations. and all the agencies of the united nations are in fact supported everything that is right in accordance with the rule don't say that qatar alone helps. countries or us and they are the occasion to express it see in kuwait. and also in keeping a very close contact with kuwait always view affirming it publicly we fully support the kuwaiti mediation and we can see that it to be the most credible instrument for the solution of these situation we also were appreciative of the initiatives of
1:29 pm
other countries like united states in this regard and we have always they've. been in favor of a solution by the dialogue of any of the conflicts that the. and that is obviously also the case here on the other hand the different human rights bodies of the u.n. have been assuming the functions that they have to assume and i believe that our commitment to the support of the way the mediation can only be enhanced if. in recently kuwait says received the more clear. support to the possibility of its mediation to be. effective in the op tension. results thank you very much i think you think your exes see you merely that's the way. thank. you're
1:30 pm
watching all jazeera we had the u.n. secretary general and then you could companied by his host the foreign minister of hama been a tiny of cattle as they were taking questions from the media corps qatar the state of qatar and the u.n. of course citing a whole range of memorandums of understanding and agreements which involve millions of dollars to help various u.n. agencies their representatives of course signing those documents for example four million annually to unicef's eight million annually to the u.n.h.c.r. look after the refugees of course there will be an office of the. office of migration the international office of migration opening in doha as well eight billion annually to the u.n. development program five hundred million is there generally thought u.n. support and of course the u.n. secretary general so making a personal thanks for the help that qatar is giving to support the agency that
1:31 pm
looks after the displaced palestinians not only in the occupied territories but in surrounding areas listening in to that was. was rick wilson. rick i'm sorry i have to wait just a few more minutes we have to go over to the turkish foreign minister who's also speaking at the doha for let's just listen in through our translator as to what he is saying of the moment. what has been going. very transparent credit bullshit and everybody should not drink. from it a lot. more than doing lies. this is a man. life for. me yes it was a. personal well it was a membership. disappointed with the reaction look at the night it's. well you
1:32 pm
tell you should move there. they have also this in the boys' records. and you know how school was enough to do so so now it is up to them i'm sure they have more information probably they know the least of the other names to be exactly to the outside of the country they have better intelligence probably they know all the details and maybe him maybe he is he was not it was not him these are not the answers or statements that are the one makes out there one is a very straightforward person and he say's openly what he believes and also he has his position on this issue has been very clear but we have been also discussing this issue with the. american friends and colleagues well they have
1:33 pm
their own understanding of this murder we have our own one why do you think president trump has refused if there is a smoking gun that links the crown prince of saudi arabia to this death why has president trump refused to say so i don't know you should ask another spokesperson another question or and second another question that's been revolving around these conversations has been the fate of fettle england and what will happen to him next has there been progress made by your government in discussions to have him extradited back to turkey well everybody of us focusing on this pastor bronson who is also a cia agent i'm also a very straightforward person like at the gun. but it was a minor issue in relation. to the turkish foreign minister speaking and also the doha for we just caught what he had to say that he has comments about the murder of jamal khashoggi in istanbul back in october and of course his response to who may
1:34 pm
be involved who's connected and the response from the u.s. listening in to that was written also no good good of you to stay with us so rick rick is a republican strategist who's here for the form of a lot to listen in to a lot to take in as well let's just begin with what the turkish foreign minister has just talked about the sort of brushed over really where turkey's position is with regards to the. murder but it still has ramifications in the u.s. we saw a senate vote basically urging the white house to do more on this at all to just censure the to censure saudi where does this leave the administration as they head towards twenty nineteen as they head towards the house of representatives which will be controlled in their case by the opposition. i think what's happened
1:35 pm
in the u.s. particularly after the murder of shoji was that the pressure on. donald trump and on the administration to be candid and straightforward about what they've known from american intelligence has led to you know opening up with a series of pressures on the white house and the administration that they didn't anticipate having to face this year and now they are going to have to face it and the fact that fifty six to forty one in the u.s. senate voted to censure seven republicans voted to. help holds the saudi arabian government to account by putting pressure on their war in yemen was something that i think was unexpected and i think the white house is just starting to realize the political damage that they've taken over essentially trying to pretend that the murder didn't happen and that and that saudi arabia was involved that it's also caused a rift in the united states in the intelligence services between the intelligence services and the white house they are they have reported to the white house that
1:36 pm
they are well aware that this murder was was engineered and carried out on behalf of them b.s. and this is certainly something that's causing a lot of tension with with the cia and the defense intelligence agency and the senate and so you're going to see that pressure continue to rise as long as they're in denial about the role that saudi arabian government played in this matter and of course in the past few days we've seen a peace talks sort of come to the end of the first stage with a tentative peace tentative cease fire which everyone hopes will be implemented on the eighteenth of december. the foreign minister of qatar alluded to it being a very very important first step in those negotiations how tentative how fractious how difficult is that cease fire and you'll ripping in right now considering full weeks is a is a long time in a cease fire agreement is not till the end of january when they can start talking about the real nitty gritty of the long term peace that is required for yemen.
1:37 pm
i think the tensions are still very high and as you said this is only a very first step in this matter and there are a lot of a lot of tensions that could lead to the ceasefire being broken at any point but i think there are a lot of people there that have looked at the role that the cease fire could play in reducing those tensions and in mitigating some of the the chances that this is going to continue to grind on and cause additional civilian casualties and additional human suffering which you know is that a scale that i don't think most people in the west are truly appreciated at this point so any any ceasefire right now is superior to a continuation of the current operations in terms of the u.s. relationship with the middle east you know you have the whole trial we curve what's going on between the u.s. saudi and turkey regarding we also have the u.s. qatar and saudi in terms of the siege and that has also been spoken to and mentioned by both the secretary general and turning to terror and the qatari
1:38 pm
foreign minister good terrorists there the secretary general still saying that he believes kuwait is the lead on trying to find a solution to the impasse of the siege in excess of eighteen months. imposed on qatar how destructive politically how does this siege been in terms of the wider conversation the international community needs with a stable middle east a stable you might say doha riyadh kuwait city and manama. i think that the that the internal tension here has diminished the stability in the region i think it's been i think the united states support of saudi arabia in this boycott in this in this blockade was driven not by a desire to see the region functioning and cooperating but more by relationships between the white house the administration and the and the trump business
1:39 pm
enterprises with the saudis rather than something that was a broader more more comprehensive view of where we should be going in terms of of managing the relationship with with with a whole spectrum of important allies in the middle east and i think the tour has a role to play as one of those prosperous nations in the gulf that is that is you know in involved in this but this blockade is something that i don't think it it's paying off for anybody else that's involved in it but i do same sense as you know having been at the doha forum this week that qatar is moving out of you know if the gulf cooperation council doesn't want them to play i think they'll prosper on their own on their own merits in a lot of ways because they've clearly you know got a vision that they can play a role in the world with the u.n. and others that could be that could be you know beneficial to them and to the world and you know folks are going to get left behind i think in some degree if they're not if they're not on the ball in terms of the position that cats ha ha's in its
1:40 pm
relationship of a positive one according to the u.n. secretary general house it's all very well signing these agreements it's all very well donating a great deal of money and critics of qatar will say well they're just buying no way into the into the books into the favors of governments and organizations but how important as we can see is that money when sometimes western nations at this present economic times either withdrawing their support. people and communities that need it most already just don't have the money because of their own di economic situation. well i do think that the fact that you know money matters in this world and it's not you can dismiss it all you want but the fact is there are relevant cases that they've decided they're going to invest in in that refugee relief and things like that that that are not being fully funded by it by the western bloc and so i think that there's a certain degree to which you know the doing well while doing good can be obtained in the situation. in terms of the long term prognosis if we just look at the middle
1:41 pm
east as a whole and the sort of the vibes you'll getting at the doha forum what's your general impression when there are so many issues at stake we have yemen we have an unstable syria we have the palestinians still in crisis and media freedoms across the middle east with exception of being curtailed by national governments what do you think is the thing that we should be looking at and focusing on for twenty nineteen. why i think one of the things that's been so beneficial about the doha forum is it's not just looking at night twenty nineteen it's looking at twenty twenty nine and further and further out and it's offering people a chance to consider what kind of media and political and economic landscape they want to they want to see in the future and so these problems that we face in the middle east are not new problems they're not they're not things that shocks anybody that there's they're all here and they're all in our face right now but it's certainly important to have a creative and positive set of agenda items for the future because you know that
1:42 pm
there is a enormous amount of resources here and if you match the resources with the dedication the will you can resolve a lot of these matters for the moment rick wilson thanks so much for joining us from the town hall for talking with us. let's get more now on our other top story and that's the climate details agreed in front wendel tria is the director of climate action network europe joins me now from brussels via skype good to have you with us just your initial reaction to the agreement that was forged in poland was it really a positive agreement. well let's say that it is good to have an agreement but it has definitely been watered down only it's a pity that a number of countries either have put in doubt the urgency like the u.s. and russia saudi arabia or have put forward their personal interests against kind of a real environment that into good outcome so it's clear that countries will need to do more but they have not the tool to implement the paris agreement. but more and
1:43 pm
more is definitely needed there was a great deal of talk about transparency and the need for trying to find a conclusive and more direct way in making national governments more accountable in the way that they would implement cop twenty one. is that something that still needs to be obviously worked on because the requirements you might say the what has been agreed is quite a low level really it still leaves a lot of work. yeah i mean there's been a lot of second a guilty bit about how to implement a paris agreement amongst others on accountability and transparency i think progress was made but they have not been able to clear of everything and the important point of how to react to the landmark report from the un scientific panel of climate change the i.p.c.c. on how to limit global warming to one point five degrees really has not been taken up sufficiently and the second are kind of being postponed true meeting that the
1:44 pm
u.n. secretary general to get us will be hosting in september of next year and and that that's going to be very crucial if we want to see the world going on a pathway to to avoid dangerous climate change one of these sort of stories that came out of this particular conference in poland was the way that you might say the poorer nations were sort of dragging the richer nations to the signing book table you might say because they were the richer nations were resisting are you impressed with that are you concerned about that because you know the poor i should say we have that much clout they need the big countries indeed the russians the chinese the u.s. is even the e.u. to come on board with these sorts of things it's difficult to drag a horse to water you can't make it drink. yeah i mean especially what it's called the most vulnerable countries of the world have been doing a lot of pushing both in terms of getting stronger climate action in the rich world but also in terms of getting more financial support they have been able to revive
1:45 pm
the high ambition coalition which played an important role in paris three years ago the e.u. has joined that coalition but the stain the u.s. was completely absent that we know why of course and they've they've had a hard time to train to really bring the spirit of paris back in particular on the issue of climate finance finance flowing from richer to poor nations the poorer nations had the cold not just to receive regular finance but actually to know a little bit more in that for us for the next five to ten years what financial flows would be available because that's what they need if they really want to play in the transition that all countries will be facing for the moment we'll leave it there wendell tran thanks so much for joining us from brussels thank you thank you is there is investigative unit has discovered links between a far right movement that calls for the expulsion of muslims from europe and senior figures in one of france's main political parties in the second part of
1:46 pm

there's always clarification acquired in cases like this we have heard this time and time again but here is so clearly at a venue such as the doha four where you've got the secretary general the foreign minister of qatar and the foreign minister of turkey all you might say singing off the same hymn sheet. well yes turkey of course growing increasingly impatient with what they believe is a lack of seriousness on the part of saudi arabia even the united nations secretary general calling for an international investigation we're hearing this more and more the need for an international investigation because there is a belief that without a will from the international community is going to be very difficult to pressure saudi arabia to cooperate the feeling here really is that saudi arabia is not cooperating we heard the turkish foreign minister reiterate the same questions they've been asking for weeks now where is body we know that turkey wants the suspects extradited to face trial here saudi arabia saying no that has never going
1:55 pm
to happen they've even said that they are going to request the death penalty for five suspects which really is an indication that they want to try this case on their soil saudi arabia also refusing to acknowledge that this was a pre meditated murder and we heard the turkish foreign minister yet again reiterate that this was a plan to act the saudi team did not come to turkey to convince him to return to saudi arabia but to kill him even the president the president of turkey or the gun he has changed his language his rhetoric in the past he you know he didn't really mention muhammad bin man by name in the past few days what we have seen and since the g twenty summit really he has criticized the saudi crown prince's explanation on why she's killing and he has made clear that the audio recordings that turkish officials have indicate that those who are actively involved in the murder were his closest aides so even the president himself changing his rhetoric so escalating

measures really but what can turkey do without the will of the international community to pressure saudi arabia and indeed to pressure was alluded to the turkish foreign minister was asked a question about the role of the united states and also the pressure what to do you know how to do more you talked about the meeting between a house but he talked about giving the u.s. all the info. they have but it's up to the u.s. to act i think was the general tone of his language sounded he sounded frustrated zener that the u.s. aren't putting enough pressure on president trump is not putting enough pressure on the crown prince and on senior officials in riyadh. yes that was what turkish officials were hoping for weeks ago they were hoping that the u.s. administration would take action against saudi arabia with sideline the crown prince because there is a belief here that the order to kill. she was given by muhammad man himself but
1:57 pm
what they have seen is that the trumpet ministration almost defending defending the saudi crown prince a very difficult different position than that of congress or senate lawmakers who really believe that muhammad bin salmen was responsible they do mention the cia director because she came to turkey and she saw the evidence for her self and she even briefed lawmakers so yes there is frustration in turkey that the u.s. is not taking action they are giving this house to the saudi crown prince. for the moment. you know we will leave it of course come back to you as a situation develops you are watching al-jazeera of course we are following developments here from the doha forum a senior political figures such as the u.n. secretary general and the foreign ministers of turkey and qatar have all been commenting on the ongoing investigation of jamal khashoggi saying that more pressure needs to be exerted on saudi arabia to allow the suspects to be interrogated and even extradited to turkey we'll have more about story on the other
