welcome back you're watching the observer a news hour with a reminder of our top story saudi arabia is denouncing what it calls blatant interference by u.s. senators who blame the chrome prince for the murder of jamal khashoggi the saudi foreign ministry says the senate's decision could affect relations. looking for a way out of a multi-billion dollar military equipment deal with saudi arabia because of the and the war in yemen the thirteen billion dollar deal was signed by the previous government. security forces in nigeria are being accused of not doing enough to stop farmers and rival herders killing each other the sea international documented more than three thousand six hundred killings since twenty sixteen most of them

this year the military has rejected the report. but more jamal khashoggi now in turkey has accused european countries of turning a blind eye to his killing. has more to stumble it's been almost three months 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 for 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 we will never be visiting countries calls are now growing louder for an international investigation 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 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 ardor on 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 i don't want pushing this i'm not letting it go 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. shortcoming of this very winding missions are.

a reminder that it does still exist chalons al-jazeera. major changes are on the way in mexico for more than two million domestic workers supreme court judges say that they'll now have access to the social security system things like health benefits child care and housing loans child home reports from mexico city a frugal breakfast before isabel heads out to clean someone else's house more than two million mexicans almost all of the women start the day in the same way in this small army of domestic workers almost no one has health benefits job security or a pension for isabel at fifty nine years old that weighs heavy but. the future is very uncertain i live day to day i don't know what will happen tomorrow. but things are changing and the claim new film roma dedicated to the domestic worker who helped raise the movie's director has helped make the more visible and more

time to the supreme court has just ruled that they now must be signed up to state social security that means benefits like child care housing loans and health care it's the small but determined domestic workers union and its founder muscling about have been fighting years fool she explains why it's desperately needed. our quality of life goes downhill while our employers just get better they get ill less but when we get ill we don't have any health benefits they don't have to pay for childcare or an old age home but we lock up our children or old people to go to work for them. the supreme court decision is part of a slow cultural shift in a country where traditionally domestic workers a cool chuch is girls some are treated like part of the family others suffer discrimination or abuse they say one employer will say to another alyn you her knew her as if you're just an object. the social security contributions will be

paid for between the state workers themselves and employers it's sure to cause ripples in a society used to inexpensive help this is a big issue in mexico because almost every household from the lower middle class upwards hires a domestic worker it's cheap enough that they can afford to so a change in the system could mean a change in lifestyle for some of those people the new social security measure faces resistance even from some domestic workers who fear employers won't fire them or cut their salaries if they have to contribute to mass alina's says that can't be allowed to stop the change that's the point everyone who has a bit of money want someone to clean for them but we want them to be responsible if they don't have enough money to hire someone nature clean for themselves not pay people under the table for the union it's just the beginning they're pushing for paid overtime holidays and formal contracts times are changing for the millions

six of them managed to set aside their differences and agree to it in poland by any measure that's a major achievement. the rule book sits out how countries disclose their greenhouse gas emissions every nation has to do it everyone can see what the others are doing and that transparency translates into greater trust it sits out the rules by which we measure what's pumped into the atmosphere not everyone's been working by the same definitions or timeframes plus there's a system to measure the impact of a country's policies against the science the rule book also sits out of compliance make an ism to ensure everyone is doing what they say they are doing plus it offers flexibility to meet the different needs of developed and developing countries but there are problems when it comes to helping global warming the world climate scientists agree the pledges made three years ago in paris just don't go far enough

. on our current greenhouse gas emissions will hit one point five degrees celsius and around twelve years and soar past three degrees by twenty one hundred the head of the un antonio good tennis champion new tougher climate pledges but those were parked for another day and countries just can't seem to quit dirty energy. there was anger when the united states and poland promoted the use of coal on the sidelines of the cop twenty four gathering and global c o two emissions are up for the second year in a row. a set of rules agreed by all nations is not to be dismissed and the text sits out the way forward for countries to commit to tougher emissions targets at a later date but as it stands it's just not enough to prevent irreversible damage

in myself in this situation a judge ordered his deportation and un went straight from prison to immigration detention for four more years in the decade since new when now forty three became a christian pastor married and started his own family but his deportation order remains the only thing preventing the u.s. government from carrying it out is vietnam's refusal to repatriate anyone who arrived in the us prior to the two countries a stablish ing diplomatic ties in one thousand nine hundred five i feel very sad for my kids you know chances are if i do give that big they're going to end up just like me when i was kids they may end up making wrong decisions just like me. more than forty years after the fall of saigon the enemy's american communities are thriving in much of the country more than two million people form the diaspora to the u.s.

grandchildren and taught them the tradition now home and watch d.v.d.'s but the manager of the sa young hong troupe does not believe the opera will ever close its curtains for good it's the only life he knows he was sold to the troop by his mother when he was eight. if it was to disappear it would have disappeared a long time ago as long as we have chinese shrines and chinese communities in this world the chinese opera will not disappear it will become smaller but the culture will continue. chinese migration to thailand can be traced back to the thirteenth century and now it has one of the world's largest chinese communities outside of china these open air operas have been a cultural cornerstone passing along folklore and traditions. ancient french documents detail chinese offer in thailand as long as five hundred years ago. and.
