and rice groups of committing multiple war crimes nice not just saddam several arab countries have recently indicated they may be willing to normalize relations with the assad government in early october president assad gave his first interview to a gulf based newspaper since twenty eleven he told the quaid to use paper that western and arab delegations had already begun work to resume diplomatic and economic ties just a week prior to that bahrain's foreign minister surprise observers by embracing is syrian counterpart what he done while i'm on the sidelines of a un general assembly meeting in new york and even neighboring israel has taken steps towards improving relations with the assad regime it's a crossing in the occupied golan heights was partially reopened in mid october and a russian military supervision jordan also reopened the crossing into syria that same month now turkey is a last major backer of the syrian opposition helping them hold part of

a part of northern syria but its foreign minister now says ankara is prepared to engage with damascus if the government held and one free and say elections over this will be able to walk the eligible ones inside and outside of. the refugees in my country and neighboring countries and in other countries who resettle in the last seven years and it has to be a very credible one transparent democratic and further elections and a. syrian people will decide who is going to rule the country after this election if it is a democratic elections and if it is a credible one then whoever that should consider the. well let's speak tonight a hash amy who is the director of the center for middle east studies at the university of denver he joins us on skype from denver in colorado in the u.s. thank you so much for being with us so many abby has had this in some self some bashar assad since the uprising began in twenty leavened why we seeing this shifts

now why are some countries making overtures now to assad well i think they're trying to perhaps woohoo assad away from his alliance with iran. the number one priority for the assad regime today after crushing all opposition to his rule is economic reconstruction the west is not going to invest in the economic reconstruction but there are very wealthy arab states that do have the resources the financial resources and so i suspect part of the agenda here is to see whether they. whether you know bashar al assad can be influenced financially. with reconstruction aid in exchange for weakening his alliance with iran how much influence does iran still have over him. huge you know if it wasn't for the wrongs. participation in the horrific war in syria over the

last you know seven years bashar al assad would not be alive today he said he would be in power so you are on has a huge amount of influence i don't think at the end of the day that bashar assad will break his alliance with iran and switch sides but i think what i think much more fundamental and i think what's uniting bashar al assad with other. arab states in the region is that bashar al assad and other leaders of the arab states in the middle east share a common national security concern and that national security concern is fear of their own populations fear of democracy fear of political change so in that sense they have a very common sort of set of concerns that they that they're trying to fight and push back against so where then there's this leave the rebels that's some of these arab countries saudi arabia in particular have supported both financially and

militarily against assad and is this them and i and of knowledge meant of his victory in this conflict. well yes it is i mean as for the rebels i mean that story is long been passed saudi arabia and the emirates and other gulf states that were backing the rebels have you know largely withdrawn their support. turkey is providing some support to rebels in islam but i think there is now a general sense that bashar al assad you know has won this war notwithstanding his colossal war crimes and crimes against humanity and of course that issue is not of concern to any of the arab states because they have no interest in upholding human rights standards so in that sense there's a lot of i think common cause for collaboration and and sharing strategies for regime survival israel also appears to be softening its stance where does that leave its ally the us the americans ever long call for assad to be removed from allah is that now also out of out of the question. i mean that that that

issue i think was more rhetoric than substance under you know president trump the policy that he is pursuing with respect to syria is if it is effectively to allow russia and iran to run the political you know show in damascus with the united states having some military influence over the eastern part of syria but there's no attempt to you know topple or remove assad but that that's a story that's long since past and now it's a question of what's the future of syria right of course the tragedy here is there's an assumption that bashar assad can be a stabilizing force in syria and of course that simply myth after five hundred thousand deaths and war crimes and crimes against humanity to think that someone who presided over that situation could be a stabilizing force in a country like syria is really wishful thinking what's the future of syria a mask and also what's the future of the region as

a whole if bashar assad is being brought back into the fold what impact on the geo political climate in the region and tensions between iran and saudi arabia. well i think the biggest beneficiary here in the preservation in the survival of bashar al assad are really the forces of radical islamic extremism they will benefit from recruiting young people in refugee camps from the you know millions of people who've been displaced who can't go home the regional rivalry between iran and saudi arabia will remain and there's a general sense that you know you run is always prevailed in the context of the syrian fear that theater of war but there's other battles that you know iran and saudi arabia are fighting over i think the bigger question here is the future of the middle east will be deeply destabilized because of the victory of a war criminal to think that a war criminal could be a stabilizing force as i just sent said

a moment ago is naive at best it's wishful thinking and it will simply set the stage for further violence and destabilization of the middle east for many decades to come thank you very much for talking to us very interesting to on this night there has sami from the university of denver joining us af-am temple thank you for your time. and the new has worn turkey against taking any further military action in syria turkish presenter ship type writer one has threatened to enter the northern city of man bage if the u.s. doesn't remove kurdish fighters take he considers them to be terrorists but they have partnered with the u.s. in the fight against eisel eve foreign policy chief said turkey should not undermine the u.s. led coalition against isis all salman share his the chief executive of the consulting firm the shape group he believes there is still a way forward for turkey and the us. all members in a strategic place it's on the west side of the euphrates but. and it's taken too

long really to get the agreement the turks thought they had with the americans and that was to get to do with the y.p. g. forces now they are moving forward there is supposed to be soon i think a civil and a military council and of course that's why the turks including the foreign minister here earlier at the doha forum talked about the man bridge road map which is basically based on the principle of local governance and local security backed up and it's absolutely crucial it has to be backed up by turkish and u.s. guarantees the hope is that can be replicated all across the north and east of syria east of the euphrates river valley where we've heard in the dialogue that we're doing between arabs and kurds there is a fair amount of dissatisfaction with the level of inclusiveness of the governance the distribution of resources and even the space for civil society

a local civil society to take root we have to remember that the kurdish relations in the north east of syria are very finely balanced always have been they call themselves cousins but if if they're on balance it can often lead to conflict and it's not just millionaires and kurds it between kurds and kurds as well. got the wife to do you know the white b.g. have proven themselves to be strong fighters with u.s. support but we've now reached a point where actually continuing to support just one small one of the parties one of the kurdish parties on the military side is actually now threatening to create a new conflict in instead of instability so in fact if that does a right it will give fresh opportunities to dash. and their followers east and syria that is why ultimately i think we need to find some sort of negotiated dialogue filled solution turkey has

a key is european countries are turning a blind eye to the matter of jamal khashoggi the saudi journalist was killed inside the kingdom says sample consulates on october second u.n. secretary general antonio tears has renewed his call for soggy arabia to investigate the murder properly as in a harder has the latest from istanbul. it's been almost three months since she was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey continues to accuse saudi arabia of trying to cover up the crime because of its lack of transparency in the investigation turkey is also frustrated with what it sees as an action on the part of the west many european countries who are promoting the freedom of media through freedom of expression are closing their eyes and this country and the politicians you know you see this statement putting some sanctions on the people who are already in prison who will never be visiting doors countries calls are now

growing louder for an international investigation but 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 killed turkey has recently said there are discussions about opening an international investigation because a lack of cooperation from saudi arabia is blocking progress present are the one doesn't know that that does not that he can't do this alone he does need the backing up and the full force of the international arena we do see the west trying not to be in wild with this but as we see that we also see present are the one pushing this i'm not letting it go so she's killing sparked international outrage and condemnation but there has been little action against saudi arabia a un investigation would according to experts put more pressure on riyadh but there needs to be international political will. findings of this mission is not binding

for both parties so this the shortcoming of these very winding missions are. they need a higher level of cooperation this has this. existed when it comes to the international commission want to enter to do myanmar that has been established by the united. human rights commission in rome with has refused to and through the country for the investigators a position saudi arabia is likely to take it insists it will handle the case on its soil turkish officials are growing impatient with what they describe as a lack of seriousness on the part of saudi authorities even president pressure tell you border guard has been more outspoken he used to avoid mentioning muhammad bin sound man by name he has now criticized the saudi crown prince's explanation on killing and accuse those who took an active part in the murder of being his closest aides turkey is not softening its stance but it continues to tread carefully to

maintain ties with saudi arabia but pursuing an international investigation would hurt that relationship sen al jazeera istanbul us months urges director of the anchor reins you don't serve as a media adviser to former turkish prime minister true blue he says the foreign minister's comments are all about keeping up pressure on sanjay arabia. tooky. just had two important targets during the process one is just keeping the pressure up momentum is high and india at the same time just keeping the issue isn't a legal thing another political drift between turkey and this old europe uber tricky years that you have suddenly you know use so many cars on it but it is already exhausted ok just it was given to watch accordions of how mr crusher too was killed inside the saudi consulate and that is the whole thing that is just just keeping just making this very clear that who had committed this crime who is

responsible from this and the american. senate made the decision on that did did your the left think is just after this linkages prime ministers or president foreign ministers speeches and statements just trying to keep the pressure up you know but at the end of the day if turkey is left alone again sold europea turkey probably wouldn't prefer to go alone because it is not so easy for turkey to keep pressure up either the political support from the american congress or the mechanism station is special from the european countries it'll be done otherwise it will be so difficult for turkey to go off until the did the bottom. and saudi arabia's foreign ministry has just released a statement saying it rejects a position expressed recently by the u.s. senate saying and i quote the jamal khashoggi incident doesn't reflect the policy of the kingdom and the statement went on to accuse the u.s.

senate of interfering in saudi arabia's internal affairs the u.s. senate passed a resolution last thursday condemning saudi arabia over the matter plenty more ahead on this news hour including an operating counter sri lanka's president reinstates a prime minister he fired almost two months ago last cuban filmmakers push boundaries despite the challenge of censorship and english of course to greatest rivals meet in the for me. league fire will be here to tell us what happened when liverpool whole said manchester united. but first people have braved the cold to protest in hungary's capital beautiful this is the fourth demonstration this week against prime minister viktor orban and controversial last passed by his right wing government the new labor legislation which critics have dubbed the slave law hikes the maximum annual overtime hours

employers can demand from two hundred fifty to four hundred hours they are also angry about new measures which set up administrative course to oversee sensitive cases involving elections and public procurement why unschooled say this could lead to greater government interference in justice matters many are already concerned that prime minister or ban is eroding the legal system and press freedom rory chalons reports. for the fourth day now protesters have been on the streets of the hungary and capital budapest recent changes a profound sense of people out to denounce prime minister viktor orban right wing government has been the lone voice i think that this content is growing and with this not only anger and frustration but also those voices which would like to make change. i do not again banish an answer and again when i'm mad at bashing look i have had enough and so have my friends this is now not about opposition politicians about who stands on which side but this is about the discontent of hunger in

society yet we have had enough of. the rally started last wednesday following the passing of two new laws one gives the government control over a new administrative court system the other perhaps more unpopular move increases allowable workplace overtime from two hundred fifty to four hundred hours a year victor or vans majority in parliament allowed him to push through the legislation despite complaints from trade unions rights groups and opposition parties they say increasing overtime could harm workers' health and the government shouldn't control the courts the government says it wants a more efficient legal system and a more flexible labor code i think what these protests suggest is that underlying the book you are. seeing. action comedy has little saying that he's. going to resemble a discordant. and. resentment comes to the fore when the government

let that be seen by many as being against their interests the e.u. has seemed unsure how to respond to a government in one of its member states consolidating power by restricting civil liberties but in september the european parliament voted to impose sanctions on hungry for ignoring the rules on democracy civil rights and corruption the government says those claims are not true picked over and says his aim is to build an a liberal democracy in hungary and he's faced little meaningful opposition but anger over the so-called slave law is a reminder that it does still exist chalons al-jazeera. and journalist benjamin novak has been at the protests indeed a pass he says the demonstrations are being driven by young people. it's a real mixed bag you have people from the far right all the way to the left it's primarily young people so this is very this is this is very strange compared to

previous protests we've had in hungary so it's a lot of young people coming from all sides of the political spectrum and they seem to have joined together in expressing their distaste an anger at the orbit regime and i based on the conversations i've had with young people in this crowd several have told me that if things continue along this past path and hungry that they themselves will have to leave eventually more than five thousand five right far right protesters have marched in belgium scapel against a u.n. pact on migration police in brussels use want to cannon and tear gas to disperse a group last week one hundred sixty four countries by five the un migration agreement which ain seen proof of how the well copes with increased migration some critics say the deal could curb government's ability to shape their own immigration policy it's now jazeera as 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 a second part of

immigrants to be returned to their supposed countries of origin to prevent white europeans being replaced by outsiders. is at the citadel a ball which acted as the legal headquarters of generation identity. says the politicians must hide the far right views until they are empowered. to think as they have that's not evidence then right wing aspect really want a latin american where are you gay i welcome back now i can hear. your yet another half of what i have in your little ones that are there viendo has some limo nationality the pan has changed the party's name to the national rally to broaden its appeal she doesn't want members to be seen with generation identity battles at the center of the solution that wal-mart and whatever else the level i thought it were that went into the office and made this image mail was so sad talking to.

the hassel said the citadel had no connection with generation identity and was opposed to violence david harrison al-jazeera. britain is government insists it has no plans for a second referendum on bracks said despite reports some ministers are looking into the option prime minister to resign man returned home empty handed from brussels on saturday after two days of talks with this she had hoped to sweeten her deal to get it approved by parliament where it faces certain defeats but the e.u. isn't willing to renegotiate sonia gago as an aid to some london. further reports in the sunday papers today indicate that her second in command in effect david leading to a senior cabinet minister has been meeting with opposition ministers to try and see if there is anything to be done or to argue for a second referendum a so-called people's vote into really where the british public want to take this

and that for some opposition ministers is the only way to go forward in trying to result this debate the fundamental difference i think between now and when we last had this referendum on the e.u. is that we will have fix specified propositions that is the key thing in terms of the harbor so i think people realise that you cannot have your cake and eat it but even though those arguments have been put forward by even members of her own party there have been strenuous denials about this not least from reason may's own trade secretary liam fox who the division in the country this was what he would do if the country perpetuates the division in the country the second objection is democratic parliament said to the public we can't make a decision on this you make a decision and we will take instruction from that meanwhile this continues to drag on even the former prime minister tony blair making the case for a second referendum was angrily rebutted by the prime minister saying that it was

really quite a damaging argument to make and proving to be even more divisive so really there is shorter and shorter time with which to resolve this issue whether that issue of the second referendum will gather any continuous support on the for the british public as well is another matter that will be resolved bartz as has been said so many times in this debate time is running out at least twelve people have died in twenty five others have been wounded in the latest outbreak of violence around yemen support for data. healthy rebels and saudi banks government forces have been fighting south and east so for data throughout saturday night and into sunday afternoon and it comes just two days before a cease fire deal agreed at u.n. talks in sweden is set to begin the four city process is about seventy percent of the country's food aid and other imports have told they're welcoming the trucks.

the date will be the eighteenth of this month it will be the start of the cease fire in the studio. we do know that right now on the ground there isn't a solution of fighting there are air strikes there were tons of them yesterday which means they are not dealing positively with this agreement and the u.n. secretary general has warned that much worse lies in store for yemen unless its warring sides reach a peace deal he said the number of people needing aid will continue to rise if there is no end to the conflict. declaration of feminine is a technical declaration that relates to a number of indicators. and sometimes people think that affected 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 forty million people next year and that is indeed how you get in yemen that is extremely worrying the question of calling it feminism as i said a strictly technical seemed related to a number of images but emitters but the effect that was not declared does not in any way. diminish is a huge concern with the very high level of hunger that exists in in yemen with the number of people dying in very dramatic circumstances and with the effect that to be adults because we will be facing in two thousand and nineteen much worse situation than today. still ahead on this al-jazeera news are ukraine's brand new church holds its first services since splitting from russia last he came to the u.s. as a child after the vietnam war now he could be one of the thousands threatened with

you watching the news hour on al-jazeera with me fully back to bore a reminder of our top stories so dom's president omar al bashir has become the first sour leader to visit syria since the beginning of the war nearly eighty years ago state media course pushchair expressing his hold that syria will recover its important role in the region as soon as possible thousands of people have protested in hungary's capital buter past against labor reforms passed by the government of prime minister viktor orban is a fourth week in a role of demonstrations in the country. and saudi arabia has denounced a resolution by the u.s. senate accusing the saudi crown prince of ordering the murder of journalists. in a statement released by the saudi press agency the kingdom's foreign ministry said

the senate's position is blatant interference in its internal affairs. and meanwhile germany's former foreign minister has told al jazeera that more countries should fall germany's example by ending their arms trade with saudi arabia sigma gabrial is a member of parliament made the comments at the door for him when asked about the murder of jamal. we stopped for example or delivering of defense of defense materials and capabilities after the case when you look at the investigation hasn't even accounted for a journalist body is after he's gone in a consulate many people say that's simply not an acceptable course it's not acceptable and i mean it's also a tragedy we should not forget their relatives because she had a family and i mean the killing of mr. a catastrophe

but it's for the family and the relatives is. a very bad situation that they are not even able to bury the body and to have a place where they can can go to so it for me it's also is not only a political question it's also a question of humanity do you think the world will ever believe that n.b.s. was not responsible for that killing and europe. everybody thinks that there is a certain kind of responsibility i don't know if it's personal order or people thought that it could be his wish it's an open discussion in europe but everybody things that it will not. the case will not be organised like an accident and you can watch the full interview with germany's former foreign minister sigmund gabrial on talk to al-jazeera this monday at three thirty g.m.t. turkey's foreign minister says the us president is working on extraditing side to
