saudi arabia denounces u.s. senators for interference after they blame the crown prince for the murder of journalists. try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles just saudi arabia. and that is the leader signs the killing of yemen's war as he tries to cancel a multi-billion dollar military deal. it's all right when you want your observer life my headquarters here in doha also coming up thousands rally in sri lanka as a show of support for the reinstated prime minister. and central american asylum seekers tell how a day in u.s. custody is better than a life back home. welcome

to the program saudi arabia has issued an unusually strong rebuke of the u.s. senate rejecting its resolution that blames the crown prince for jamal khashoggi is murder the journalist was killed by what's being described as a saudi hit squad inside the kingdom's stumble consular office in october now in a lengthy statement saudi said the resolution had just fears that its internal affairs and is based on substantiated claims of allegations a second senate resolution calls for an end to the u.s. military support for the saudi u.a.e. led war in yemen meanwhile canada is looking for a way out of a multi-billion dollar military equipment deal with saudi arabia because of the murder and also of their involvement in yemen's war the contract was signed by prime minister justin trudeau is pretty just. the murder of a journalist is absolutely unacceptable that's why canada from the very beginning has been demanding answers and solutions on that secondly we inherited actually a fifteen billion dollar contract signed by steven harper to export light armored

vehicles to saudi arabia we are in gauged with the export permits to try and see if there is a way of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia. the relations between the two countries have been fraught since august that's when saudi arabia expelled and the design bassa and severed all trade and investment ties to protest against criticisms about activists being locked up canada's foreign affairs department had tweeted canada is gravely concerned about additional arrests of civil society women's rights activists in saudi arabia including some are battery we urge the saudi authorities to release them and all other peaceful human rights activists simon maven is a lecturer in international relations at lancaster university of the north of england he says some of the arabia could face a serious challenge if international pressure continues to mount. well i think if we look at the history of u.s. saudi relations it's been one that it's been quite tranquil the saudis on really

used to any of this type of. rhetoric from from such a prominent organ of the u.s. government so that quite hurt i think by this it's a very strong move that was that was passed on thursday and they're not particularly accustomed to it and so when you put that alongside what mr trudeau's been saying overnight and i think you have there in a very delicate position they're in a position they're not being particularly accustomed to over the past seventy years or so so yeah i think they're in a position where they're having to come out fighting it's important to remember that that only canada and germany have said that they are looking into it jimmy has done with regard to some aspects of military hardware and canada has said that it's looking into it but it faces a very serious financial fine if it pulls out of the deal unless that can be some some loopholes found the u.s. and u.k. still continue to sell arms and whilst there has been

a degree of discussion about reneging on those deals and stopping those deals that hasn't really come to a proportion as yet so i think the saudis are managing to to keep calm stroll of these relationships for now but if the perch if the pressure continues to build then i think it's going to be a serious issue for them if more more steps start to pull out of these deals. germany's foreign minister has told al-jazeera that more countries should follow berlin's example by ending their arms trade with saudi arabia altogether seeing more gabriel who is still a member of germany's parliament was attending this year's doha forum here in qatar we stopped for example are delivering of defense of defense materials and capabilities after the crash of the case when you look at investigation that hasn't even accounted for where a journalist body is after he's gone in a consulate many people say that's simply not an acceptable investing of course

it's not acceptable and i mean it's also a tragedy we should not forget there are relatives because she had a family and i mean the killing of mystical shogi is 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 it's not only a political question it's also a question of humanity do you think the world will ever believe that m.b.a.'s was not responsible for that killing in 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.

due course the full interview with more gabriel on top al-jazeera straight after this bulletin fourteen thirty g.m.t. . simmons who the rebels say these earlier articulation is breaching the terms of their truce the latest fighting near the main port of data has killed at least twelve people and injured twenty five a u.n. brokered cease fire agreed talks in sweden last week is due to begin on tuesday today to handle seventy percent of all food aid imports to yemen and has been besieged for months by the time wishart after concluding the swedish consultations the coalition did not comply with what was agreed on the whole day the city witnessed the following aggressions on the first day of the talks the coalition warplanes launched twenty one raids and on saturday the coalition launched thirty eight raids on who died and its outskirts this is considered a clear breach of the truce that if were not for talk and not of the ceasefire agreement will start at midnight of the tuesday that we are committed to this

a campaigner for amnesty international based in a bitter she says people need to be held accountable for the violence. it's really appalling at this point to see that the government has decided to politicize this issue because it the conflict is not about ethnicity it's not about politics it's not of season about religion for example it's about competition or very saucy spectacularly by poor governance over the years in the country so when you have a mix of the rising population growth you have this kinds of conflicts keep that keeps occurring each and every time of course it's a recipe for the kind of violence that we have seen particularly between twenty sixteen and now and for us what we are calling on the government to do is to move the size in that issue and to ensure that they conduct in pascha in effective

investigations into the various human rights violations that are caught why this conflict has lasted i must tell you communities are still very vulnerable many people are still living in i.d.p. comes with little or no hope of returning back to their communities because they cannot guarantee they are not a short of the safety so this is what we are calling for as we release these reports today to say that government needs to do more beyond deploying of security forces mani's to happen in terms of ensuring that part investigate invest to get it set up and that they're doing their job amid the aquinas public and ensure that all those who are dead this human rights violations whether they are state actors whether they are non-state actors the are brought to book that's what we call for today. well refugee camp in mauritania has grown so large it's equivalent in size to the fourth largest city in the country many of the refugees are from neighboring mali who've escaped fighting in the remote desert north of west africa. or nicholas

hello again and welcome back well over the next few days here across china we are going to be seeing an increase of clouds as well as snow across particularly the western part of china but as we start on tuesday looking quite nice across much of the area anywhere from shanghai down towards hong kong we are looking at clear to partly cloudy conditions but as you can see over here on tuesday we do have some rain and some snow coming in and that is going to start to extend a little bit more towards the east as we go towards wednesday so up towards a plateau it's going to be snow and cold but down here towards the south we do expect to remain dry for hanoi maybe twenty five degrees and partly cloudy conditions there well across india we have seen a cyclone make landfall here across the eastern part of india but

a lot of that moisture is making its way towards the north so focal kutta here on tuesday heavy rain extending up here towards parts of bangladesh as well katmandu you're going to see a partly cloudy condition day with rain and snow in your forecast but we do expect to see better conditions as we go towards wednesday down towards the south colombo well watch the system out here just to the east of you that is going to bring some windy conditions as we go towards the next couple days and then here across parts of the milly's really not looking too bad for doha but down here towards we are going to see some rain in your forecast possibly with the tempter there of about twenty nine degrees. getting to the heart of the matter how can you be a refugee after you while it borders between five safe countries facing realities that from the very beginning got there by. providing context housing is not just about four walls and a roof hear their story on talk to al-jazeera. both

about you're watching i was there on the remind of our top stories saudi arabia is denouncing what it calls blatant interference by u.s. senators who claim the chrome prints for the murder of. the saudi foreign ministry says the senate's decision could affect relations. with the rebels say the coalition is breaching the terms of the truce agreement the latest fighting there the main port city of data has killed at least twelve people the u.s.

a judge in paris disagreed natasha buckland's been following the case for us. but i think is quite telling the one of the young students called a mama do said the first it hadn't occurred to him to file a complaint against the police or the state because being stopped and searched by police without explanation is just so common for him he said it happened up to four to five times a month and he just began to accept it as his loss and young people mike him say they are routinely stopped by the police without explanation and not given any reason why the police want to check their identity papers and in twenty seventy the french human rights actually put out a report saying the young frenchmen of arab and african heritage are twenty times more likely to be stopped in such a way than others now of course that means of the young people who are stopped say why are they being stopped they say it is because of the color of their skin and that creates this sense of discrimination
