am lane's status and wealth has benefited from their choice since late. summer so scott even scared to speak out as a surprise but. this job isn't just about what's in the script or a piece of paper it's about what is happening right now. this is al-jazeera. and owner of this is the out of their news hour live from london coming up a cease fire is due to start now in yemen's port city of data amid fears it's under threat after weekend violence. this house has no confidence in the prime minister u.k.'s opposition leader tables a motion of no confidence into reason may as she says there will be a parliamentary vote on how to deal in january. the u.s.

says it's warplanes have killed more than sixty fighters in somalia. and today custody of u.s. border patrol is better than life back at home the grim story of a central american asylum seeker. and i'm peter phillips with all the sports liverpool by munich as some of europe's biggest clubs are unable to avoid being drawn against each other in the champions league last sixteen of the full goal for you later in the program. as we go on a un backed ceasefire is due to come into effect in the yemeni port city of her data it follows a weekend of violence where at least twelve people died and twenty five others were injured if you rebels and saudi backed government forces have been fighting in the south and east of the rebel held city since saturday tuesday. ceasefire was agreed

after a breakthrough in peace talks in sweden last week under the deal international monitors will be deployed in her data and all armed forces must pull back within twenty one days or how did a person about seventy percent of yemen's food aid and other imports and is considered the country's lifeline the coalition says it's fully committed to the deal but if the rebels have already accused them of violating it. that if we're not for them not a cease fire agreement will start at midnight of the tuesday we are committed to this agreement a joint military committee will supervise the implementations of the agreement terms i can confirm that the whole agreement is a success for the yemeni diplomacy but this is 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 our diplomatic editor james bays joins us live from the united nations in new york james u.n. monitors a going to oversee the cease fire how effective can they be. well i think it's a difficult task for the united nations one of the problems is actually the success of the stockholm talks they actually achieved more i think than the u.n. was expecting so the u.n. is now scrambling to get this monitoring mission in place you'll see that they originally said the truce in the data started the moment those talks finished in stockholm they've then put a new start to the truce because of that was that violence over the weekend that truce now is formally in effect now the plans for the monitoring mission have been drawn up by patrick kemah he's a dutch general who's worked many times with the united nations leading peacekeepers in the democratic republic of congo as well as carrying out inquiries and writing reports for the u.n.

he's come up with a plan and my understanding is he's briefing the un secretary-general the saw after noon about now in new york on the final details of that plan and then the secretary general have to give his go ahead if that go ahead is given the first members of the monitoring team the assessment team will travel to yemen i'm told they can be in country by wednesday moving incredibly fast for the united nations i'm told that the initial the number of members of the team is about thirty what will then happen i'm told the watchwords of form follows function so that assessment team on the ground will look at the security situation on the ground there look at the dangers on the ground there look for example at mines and other explosives when they've done that assessment they'll decide what the form should be how many troops they're going to need and then they'll get contributions from countries that are prepared to send people with military experience but unarmed into this frontline area to

monitor the peace that they hope will be kept in her data and what do we expect it from the u.n. security council specifically on yemen. well we're being told that this monitoring team initially is under the command of martin griffith the special envoy so no special. permission is needed from the security council at this stage to send assessment team but i think the idea certainly of the security council is they would like to endorse what was achieved in stockholm and indorse the deployment of a wider monitoring team in her day there and potentially in other places in yemen the work all mapped security council resolution is underway it's the u.k. that is doing the drafting of the resolution the resolution i understand has been shared by the u.k. with france and the u.s. i'm hearing that it's likely they'll share it with other members of the security

council in the coming hours and the idea i think is to push this to a vote of the security council pretty quickly because they really want to get this in place and inked in security council resolution to draw a lock in the deal that was done last week in stockholm i'm told an announcement on the day of the vote and when it will take place is likely to come from london from the british foreign secretary jeremy hunt came to us thanks very much indeed. let's take a look now at who controls what in yemen the areas locked in yellow under the control of forces loyal to president of the rebel movements or hadi that backed by a coalition of forces led by saudi arabia and the united arab emirates ignored as strikes and twenty fifteen to support the internationally recognized government the fighting who see rebels who hold the area marked in red it includes the capital sena which they seized in september twenty fourth teen and have held ever since

they have the backing of iran over who's the territory takes in a hotly contested port city of a day to which we've been talking about has been an important source of revenue for the armed group the port is also a vital hub to get food aid to millions of yemenis right across the country as the fighting has intensified barely a trickle has got through a separate to these groups is al qaida i'm up here in green it's stores the anti who see but in no way aligned with the government coalition of course not monitor has been closely following the yemen conflict and joins us now from doha so there was a lot of violence at the weekend how does if affect the cease fire. lot of these perhaps signifies how fluid the situation in. also how dips it the suspicion between the warring sides in the yemen is and of course this comes as a setback to the peace process and also about ceasefire agreement that was signed

in stockholm people. were really jubilant of the news of a cease fire between the warring parties and now the last seventy two hours of intermittent fighting most of it confined to the something and neighborhoods of the city of course is going to come as a set but again the two sides have up to twenty one days before they can remove their fighters from the day that completely and many people in the city are bracing themselves for more cautious of the assault. the timeline goes into. the twenty one days approach so what prospects other than for the cease fire in the longer term holding. well everyone you speak to diplomats people. yemenis in a. few people are holding their breath for an immediate. and to the

hostilities in the city of course the stakes very high for the losing the will they have signed that agreement is a huge setback of course. something that's being signified by the clashes we've seen already pro-government fighters a part of pro-government fighters saying that any breaches will be met with us from force government officials yemeni government officials overly accusing all these of not only hiding fighters in the city saying that they had recruited hundreds of thousands of locals who they want to live in the city so there are a lot of things going on right now in terms of accusations and counter-accusations but also how vaguely worded agreement is also good might also hinder the. the stop to the hostilities and the holding of

this is for and then there's also the issue of a mop but the whole thing is all supposed to give of. these booby traps and explosives i mean where they are hidden something that could become a stumbling block to the full implementation of the cease fire agreement thank you very much indeed candace prime minister has been warned his government faces being sued billions of dollars if he scraps an arms deal with saudi arabia just introduce says he's looking for a way out of a deal that would see the canadian arm of general dynamics corps supply armored vehicles to the kingdom and equipment is worth thirteen billion dollars the truth is as saudi arabia's recent behavior can't go on our set. and 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 stephen 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 of no longer exporting these vehicles to saudi arabia a u.s. official speaking to al-jazeera says donald trump did not discuss an extradition deal for two and a good n. with turkey's president at the g. twenty summit comes after the turkish foreign minister said trump had told bedouin he was quote working on extraditing the us based was in cleric taking accuses good end of august rating at twenty sixteen failed coup is lived in self-imposed exile in the us for nearly two decades. the un has confirmed two tunnels allegedly dug by hezbollah fighters in lebanon crossed the border into israel in total for tunnels were discovered by the israeli military which led to the un peacekeeping agency those crossing the border violate a cease fire agreement that ended the two thousand and six war further technical

britain the leader of the opposition has submitted a motion of no confidence in prime minister to resign may after she read a crucial vote on the country's deal to leave the european union to january teresa mayes facing intense opposition labor have proposed agreement and suspended a vote on it last week as exit day approaches and with the deal still not officially in place some politicians say the deadlock can only be resolved through a second referendum brennan reports. with prime minister theresa may adamant there would be no meaningful vote on breakfast until january parliament's appeared almost pointless on monday but having failed to make any concrete progress in her talks with european leaders in brussels last week this is may was judy bound to report back to the lawmakers in london she acknowledged the widespread hostility to her plan but she warned bravely against holding another referendum another vote which

had to irreparable damage to the integrity of our politics because it would say to millions who trusted intimate prosy that our democracy does not deliver i am not the first which would likely leave us no further forward than the last and another vote which would further divide our country at the very moment we should be working to unite the threats of a no confidence vote in the prime minister organized by the opposition labor party appear to have been neutralized winterreise i'm a set the week of january fourteenth for the rearranged meaningful vote but just as proceedings drew to a close labor leader jeremy called and decided to go for it so mr speaker is the only way i can think of or. ensuring a vote takes place this week i'm about to table a motion which says the following that this house has no confidence in the prime minister. failure to allow the house of commons to have a meaningful vote straightaway on the withdrawal agreement and framework for future

relationships during the u.k. and the european union and that will be tabled immediately mr speaker thank you. the procedure now is that confidence motions tabled by the opposition will take precedence over government business and its parliamentary convention that any such request be granted this week that seem to be winding down into a christmas holiday just warmed up again paul brennan al-jazeera. on their search of the list joins me in the studio he's the deputy director of the pro e.u. think tank british influence thanks for coming in to talk to us so what is the bow to no confidence the prime minister self achieve if anything is it a stepping stone to a vote of no confidence the government that's right so it's not a binding but it gives me an maneuver to launch the next step and he sort of embarrasses the back benches because how can they possibly say after last week one hundred seventeen of them expressed no confidence the prime minister a week later they're going to express confidence and if she loses that they're not

to be really bad news for so i mean she's ruled out a rather referendum but if she loses the meaningful vote then what well then you have a separate option so she says there could be no deal or she says no threats it parliament will block no deal and she rules out the second referendum and also a single market soft brakes adoption so really if she loses she's asked the picture palmer will have state control of the process so i mean the idea that i mean as she put it there was a second referendum is what she would it would do quote irreparable damage to the integrity of british politics and isn't that part of the problem is that anybody who says they want a second referendum comes up against that argument of hang on second there was a referendum and and you can't keep changing keep reading referendum. to suit to get a different answer but for a start it wasn't it would be a referendum on the same lines as twenty sixteen it's not an arbitrary legal remain it's do you want to have this deal would you want to know deal potentially and so people actually know what the options are so it doesn't doesn't quite work in the same way and so there's just people one voting for no deal option when you say it's

a compromise the integrity of politics what does a no do sonority which actually jeopardizes people's lives so what at the moment in this seems to be a lot of planning on on all sides from the e.u. and in britain the possibility of the new deal but is there also planning for the possibility of no brakes it absolutely and more and more people in the e.u. side is saying openly that they think you know perhaps it might not happen i was a city our shamsi half an hour ago and the ambassador was saying when and if britain leaves on the record to pack a journalist so this is actually being factored into brussels decision making because no breaks it is also going to be a lot less harmful than the deal and so what i mean you the e.u. so far has been pretty adamant when she when they went back to brussels to say look can we come up with something that satisfies the backbenchers and we can get it through parliament they want inclined at that point to help or how likely is it you know the next couple of weeks in christmas that they they shift on that position those up so you know a chance they can shift sufficiently because really the back story is is is one side or the other so the moment is unacceptable to parliament for the same reason

that's acceptable to the e.u. and the irish government that is because it has no unilateral breakthroughs and no end point and if you change that one way it would then be an exception to the other side so there's really no middle ground on this for this week we'll be talking again on this at some point soon thanks very much for coming in during sleep. the u.s. military says it's killed more than sixty five to. a series of s trikes in somalia it taks took place in just south of the capital mogadishu over the weekend it was in coordination with somalia's government has been fighting to overthrow the administration for more than a decade. is live from washington d.c. . what more do we know about the u.s. operation in somalia we don't know all that much the military just putting out a brief statement we do know that this is notable because of the total number of casualties they say that on saturday airstrikes killed thirty four militants with al shabaab and on sunday december sixteenth twenty eight more militants the u.s.

military insisting that no civilians were harmed in this bombing campaign that as you mentioned was targeting base we believe about twenty eight kilometers southwest of mogadishu and the associated press is reporting sources inside somalia saying that this was a response to an imminent attack from al-shabaab on a somali government military facility and so they were actually into that but again the u.s. military now opening up much more than just the total number of casualties insisting that they were working together with the somali government and how much progress is being made in the u.s. fight against show. well we do know that the numbers of strikes have been growing pretty rapidly under u.s. president donald trump this is something he's done worldwide across the board giving the u.s. military more leeway to decide who gets hit when and by how by what means and we've seen

a higher number of air strikes in somalia this year than in years past so far this would be the forty sixth air strike forty fifth and forty six airstrikes so greatly outstrip been of what we've seen in the past and let's not forget this isn't just an air campaign there believed to be about five hundred u.s. special forces on the ground in somalia not just helping to train somali forces but also to help with the targeting. thank you very much. a report released by the u.s. senate has revealed that russian interference operations are active and ongoing on social media the report by private researches says the russian operation discovered after the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election was much broader than once thought and official has more from washington. if you can think of any social media then it's likely that the russians used that to target the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election they reached around one hundred forty million users by using the likes of facebook instagram you tube what linked in read it all across the

board know what they tried to do was divide the u.s. public opinion by using the existing divisions that were there so they would target conservative voters with messages about gun control and immigration and they would try and target the likes of the african-american community by saying no point in voting why you're going to vote it's all a waste of time and in that way they tried to suppress for the democrats and bush donald trump and they say we continue to do that today even though the two reports still haven't looked at the midterm elections which we saw recently so it really is quite a damning report and certainly backs up what we've heard from the u.s. intelligence agencies and also from robert mueller of the special counsel who is in their guest investigating possible russian collusion in the twenty sixth election and he of course is indicted a number of russian operations a number of organizations and a number of individuals as for donald trump well we know that he has at various

occasions said that he totally accepts what the u.s. intelligence agencies say and there was russian interference in the election and has also said that of course the idea of any russian interference in the twenty six thousand election was all a complete hoax. russia says it's deploying ten fighter jets to the crimean peninsula in the wake of last month's naval incident with ukraine in the black sea the defense ministry says it's made the move because ukraine is preparing a provocation in crimea tension has been high since russia detained more than twenty ukrainian sailors on november twenty fifth saying their vessels had crossed into russia's territorial waters crimea was annexed from ukraine by russia in twenty fourteen two independent politicians have been ejected from hungary's state television building after trying to block controversial new labor laws i know. it was thrown out after trying to broadcast

a petition against the reforms which could allow companies to demand more overtime from employees and delay payment the pair were among a dozen members of parliament to to camp to the office over night in protest to get prime minister viktor orban policies. so here's the forces in nigeria have been accused of not doing enough to stop deadly violence between farmers and cattle herders in central nigeria who lani herdsmen and farmers have been fighting over land and resources and the group amnesty international has documented more three thousand six hundred killings since twenty sixteen most of them this year in response to the report the nigerian military has accused amnesty of trying to destabilize nigeria. and more ritual tend to the need create in nigeria in nation particularly the nigerian military or security forces in the case may be time and time again they have been burned during false allegations of human rights violations against security forces and these two lives and demoralize

our troops and has serious implications to our national security there for instance is one of the allegations is that a well denies or military has called for was assisting or that in or respond and i dare them to mention which community was that and when was that and in any case where you look at some of the issues raised you look at the circumstances under which some of the instances of cool and the how remote areas and the response time you know so basically that is what embarrassedly the nigerian security forces particularly the nigerian army has been doing and doing the best to the point that we all are sacrifice our lives for the sake of our in-or national security minister says more from the bitter. this conflict predates nigeria's independence but the intensity of it over the last thirty years has been unprecedented move three and a half thousand people have been killed two hundred thousand others have fled their

homes and then that has sold seeds of distrust and conflict among communities which according to some analysts will be a very very difficult thing to sort of smooth over now the nigerian government said it has set up various panels to try to bring the two sides together this conflict has been accessibly to because of two factors first is the impact of climate change and of course the population explosion from a population of sixty million people in one thousand fifties in one nine hundred sixty s. to more than one hundred ninety million in two thousand and seventeen a means that farmers will need more land to cultivate crops to feed hungry markets now they have moved according to some officials to areas specifically designated as grazing results and cattle routes and opening up farms now which has set the two sides on a warning to profit and the nigerian military in a response to the amnesty report is accusing

a missed international of trying to sabotage its operations at all as well as create division and create crisis in the nigerian society something that i missed international has denied so far malaysian authorities a filed criminal charges against us bank goldman sachs as part of a money laundering probe bush has seen the former prime minister najib razak charged with corruption and isis case targets goldman sachs and two of its former employees that accused of diverting two point seven billion dollars from the state fund one. back to ny is any longer. so the company out of their news hour should likewise reinstated prime minister imagines from a constitutional crisis with a pledge to correct mistakes and connect with the people. what i could be about to change for mexico is two million low paid domestic workers. and a sport peter will be here with actual men's apparel giant slalom the world cup.

a man of the top stories here on al-jazeera a un backed ceasefire has come into effect in the strategic yemeni port city of her data it follows a weekend of violence between rebels and the saudi iraqi coalition which left at least twelve people dead and twenty five others injured. britain's opposition leaders admitted a motion of no confidence in the prime minister after a day of heated debate in the house of commons to resume a confirmed have breakfast deal will go before you can parliament during the week beginning january the fourteenth next to it. and the u.s. military says it killed more than sixty five in the armed group during a series of a strike since somalia attacks took place in just south of the capital mogadishu over the weekend. only about half of the six thousand central americans who are part of a so-called caravan of asylum seekers have managed to enter the united states and the rest are still waiting to cross through the mexican border town of to juana and

those who have made the crossing and are being held in custody while their solemn claims are reviewed by dept of hamid reports from the mexico u.s. border. the border patrol has been in position since early morning to. trying to discourage asylum seekers from taking delete. instead in a matter of minutes to him and five teenagers and three children had to touch u.s. soil and quietly surrendered to the guards who seem preoccupied with the presence of journalists operating on the mexico side at times using a threatening tone that's what some people say their reporters are helping upon her and some of them just on you it's against the law. but also coming under pressure from american citizens you know separate children from their parents was one of my girls was last week border patrol care. with each day that passes more silent seekers are crossing illegally into the u.s.

it's a scene that happens in many spots along mexico's northern border just a few days ago we witnessed several people crossing from this exact point in the meantime a second layer was added to the wall and it's nearly doubled the height making it more difficult to scale and riskier to jump off on the u.s. side. but a few kilometers away it's still possible and it follows a pattern get over the wall then look for the border patrol to take you away see federal law leeway in my explains that months in custody in the u.s. is better than one day back at home in the salvador and safe she has already done this once before in june and was deported back to her country she fed again under threat and now hopes to be accepted as a refugee. this time she's with eight months pregnant everyone who wants to get turmeric up before the baby's jute being born american will give the baby opportunities she never got in life it's

a practice that president trump was to put in and never heard of them honestly i'm not afraid now. i might get nervous at the very moment now i am calm. for a brief moment to side stare at each other because we've got all these people and offtake is a bit of hesitation. a sense of urgency evidence father is worried about. over there more to. come on darling you can make it he says. it looks like she's not feeling too well she either hurt yourself while getting over the wall or maybe it was just too much stress for her pregnancy i don't know but of linda's taking away the rest the question they will spend the night in custody one of the rare times where detention represents the

possibility of a new. put up the honey along mexico's border and border. crossing is the director of the americas program at the center for international policy seans us live from mexico city thanks so much for being with us so how do you think this is going to be rectified the situation of all these people are the crossing the border or waiting to cross the border in that area. it's a very complicated situation as you can imagine lauren and you can see the human drama that's involved here basically there has to be response from the three sides first of all the united states government has to realize that it is not illegal to cross the border and request asylum people who are persecuted in their home countries have a right to do that and see protection for themselves and their families right now they're processing around fifty to seventy people a day in this one a section that we just saw and there are some five thousand people on the waiting

list so they're purposely creating a bottleneck there that means that people look to cross the border an official crossing points in order to request asylum that needs to speed or they should be processing at least three hundred requests a day then secondly in mexico a larger number of central americans now that these exoduses are coming along in huge numbers like the seven thousand people who arrived in october are requesting asylum here in mexico and decided it's too dangerous or likely to go to the united states so mexico has to make it safer and they have to give more permits here and then finally in the home countries in guatemala and honduras in el salvador and also in nicaragua they have to provide a safe and a decent standard of living for their people so that they don't feel like they're forced to migrate because what we're seeing here is forced displacement miss

interesting isn't it that some people are saying that we saw in her report just there that some people saying that it's actually safer for them to be in custody in the u.s. even if they then get deported than it is to be back home. at the moment there isn't that the detachment effect doesn't seem to be having having the effect that perhaps the traumatization would like. no not at all and the simple reason for that is because you can't deter people who are fleeing for their lives if it's not a simple choice between so i want to be here or do i want to be there they're leaving their homes against their will because they have imminent death threats in many cases and they're afraid for themselves and their families so you hear testimony after testimony and i've talked to many of these people on this caravan saying that i can't go home because because i'll be killed immediately there's nothing you can do that will deter people and this is where international law kicks in they have a legal right to find some place on this earth where they're they can be safe and

their families can be safe what about some of the measures that we've seen them in mexico bringing in changes to the minimum wage and so on how much difference will it make to people actually not making the journey in the first place. these these measures are very important to go what's called the root causes of forced migration and they could have a direct impact on the number of mexicans who are migrating as we know the number of mexican says gone way down to practically and that zero but they're still not skins who are migrating by creating decent living conditions and on december first the first day of the new government of andres manuel lopez obrador this signed what's called an integral development pact between mexico and the central american countries to try to create those kinds of conditions particularly on the economic side that would enable people to stay in their home countries as well but these are long term solutions and we need short term solutions because people are living in

very precarious conditions in the refugee camps in mexico now they are waiting to get into the united states we have seen that detention is not particularly safe in the united states we have the tragic case of the little girl who died in the custody of border patrol so we need to have a combination of these kinds of longer term economic solutions and in the political crises of democracy that exist in several of these countries and creating humanitarian need fulfilling humanitarian needs of the migrants on the migrant trail or across thank you very much staying in mexico major changes are on the way for more than two million domestic workers supreme court judges so they must now have access to the social security system including health benefits child care and housing loans from home and 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 less than 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 times really 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 what the small but determined domestic workers union and its founder muscling about have been fighting for years fool she explains why it's desperately

needed that i mean. 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 our 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 and they have one employer will say to another allin you her i'll lend you 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

hires a domestic worker it's cheap enough that they can afford to so it's changing 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 muscle ina 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 up 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 full contracts times are changing for the millions like he's about john hoeven. mexico city. sure lanka's new prime minister says his united national party will form new political alliances to safeguard the country against corruption addressing tens of thousands of supporters at
