the rest of the world we have gone to places and reported on a story that it might take an international network for months to be able to do it united nations these are the ploys anti-riot. we are challenging the voices we're challenging companies who are going to places where nobody else is going. trying to reassure allies the u.s. says it won't withdraw troops from syria until i saw his defeat in. a lot of this is live from doha also coming up police in sudan fired tear gas and stun grenades as protests against president obama bashir showed no sign of ending.

marking forty years since the fall of the camaro rouge we talked to cambodia and still coming to terms with one of the country's darkest chapters. diversity takes center stage in los angeles as stars gather for the golden globe. and i donald trump's national security advisor says u.s. troops will not leave syria until i saw his defeated there john bolton is in israel where there's concern about president brought decision in december to withdraw forces bolton says there is no timetable for the pullout which was initially expected to take a few weeks he also said he doesn't want turkey to take military action against kurdish fighters in syria who've been backed by u.s. forces. we're going to be discussing the president's decision to withdraw the to do so from northeast syria in a way that make sure that isis is defeated and is not able to. rip

revive itself and become a threat again and to make sure that the. defense of israel and their friends in the region is absolutely assured john h. johnson is a u.s. foreign policy expert and a form a senior congressional advisor he says baldness trying to reassure allies concerned by trump's foreign policy the number one problem is the trump policy of carrying out foreign policy be your tweet has real world consequences and be impulsive decision to pull troops out of syria as startled our allies in the region and even led to the resignation of a u.s. defense secretary so i'm sure a ambassador bolton is there in an attempt to assure partners in the region bad even though this announcement was announced in

a rather cavalier way. it is the plan of the attention of the administration to not carry out this withdrawal in the same way it was announced and the hope i would imagine from ambassador bolton viewpoint is to try to reduce the tremendous level of concern in the region which is totally understandable i believe if you just look at the past two years there are those in israel who. by and large support trumps decision to switch the us embassy or to move the us embassy to jerusalem there are many in israel who support the president support of the us defense cooperation or their us defense relationship however i would imagine that there are those in israel who are growing kaiser what seems to be

a administration that is viewed as very erratic and at times in polls. of democrats in the us a warning president donald trump he'll face legal challenges if he tries to declare a national emergency to build his mexico border will threaten the move if congress doesn't approve five point six billion dollars to build it the impossible funding has led to a partial government shutdown now in its third week and it's left eight hundred thousand government workers without pay as and on as well from washington. talks continue here in washington trying to break this stalemate on this government shutdown but there is no indication that they need any agreement will be reached before the weekend is over both sides are digging in president donald trump still demanding that he gets more than five billion dollars to build the border wall democrats saying they haven't changed their position they are saying they'll give the president some money less than five billion but not for the border wall just

for general border security so this is where things stand at this point president donald trump himself even said he does not expect the talks late sunday to lead to any sort of agreement at all and he is still threatening to declare a national emergency that would enable him powers to perhaps go around the congress get other money to build the wall in self but there are legal experts that say even if he was to declare a national emergency on the border many people say. it's unclear if that even would give him the money that he would need to move forward so it is really a stalemate here in washington with no end in sight to this government shutdown the president says he hopes a new round of negotiations with china i may bring an end to their trade war talk stopped in beijing on monday a ninety day truce on imposing new tariffs expires in march it all began early last

year when the u.s. imposed levies on several chinese goods arguing the u.s. was getting a bad deal china retaliated with its own tariffs and that's helped to spark volatility on the global markets as uncertainty grows over what will happen next between the world's two biggest economies are over scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute he thinks these new talks will tackle the issues which set off the trade war to begin with. well i think the priority of mr lay hisor is the trade representative who will be leading the negotiations in china is to. obtain a relief on the technology front he wants to stop time from stealing technology from u.s. companies he wants to enforce u.s. copyrights and patents and he wants to limit china's investments in the high tech industries of the future i think his chances of ringing about that kind of change in a chinese economy are so very slight so we do have leverage on the trade side but it's

very difficult to force china to open its market if china does not want to there are a large and powerful country in there used to controlling what goes on within their borders u.s. exports to china are down trade deficit with china is up so it's actually backfired it's been bad for the domestic economy the deficit in china is growing faster than into us and with the world as a whole i think also this kind of uncertainty has certainly contributed to the downfall in the stock market i think as a great concern to the president he's put great value in the rise in the market since he was elected and we see a tremendous decline in value over twenty percent now i think just in the last three months and he's very much i think concerned about that and certainly this as well as the chaos in washington contributes to the point in the market in the last few months of police in sudan have used tear gas and stun grenades to stop

protesters reaching the presidential palace demonstrations against president obama and the she had began nearly three weeks ago anger over rising food prices and government corruption improve calls for bashir to step down after nearly thirty s. in power at least one thousand people have died since the unrest started with some rights groups putting the figure much time to move in is in the capital hot so. anti-government protests are in its third week once again you've seen people marching out of new streets demonstrating against the rule of president obama and bush are they saying that they want president obama to shoot to end his twenty one year rule and step down something he said he's not going to do so people are saying that they will not stop protesting and demonstrating in the streets and so the president gives into their demands now we've seen people being separated from the crowd and it can go test using live ammunition and tear gas something that has happened over and over again during the previous protests and certainly something that has happened today people have been the police have been using tear gas and live in militias to disperse protesters foreign governments have said that the

police are using excessive force against protesters who are armed making their demands known to the government and to the world now opposition figures are also come out and said that they understand why people are demonstrating in the streets and that they are lending their support to these people but for testing and that they also want the president to step down and hand over power to an interim council it's not clear how that would happen but the thing is the president has said that he's not going to step down he did offer some kind of economic concessions he said that he was going to improve the living wages for civil workers and he's going to increase their salaries he also promised that he was going to look into the matters of the protesters and how they were being handled by the police amnesty international says at least thirty seven people have been killed that was within the first week of the protests and opposition figures of anything more and more people have been killed since then it's not clear yet how if people have died but we do know is that eleven munition and tear gas has been used to disperse protesters and the people have been arrested demonstrations in the streets it's not clear where this would go and how it would end the government says that they're

going to try to ease the situation for them people are saying that they will continue to protest so sudan seems to be in for a long haul between the government and the protesters. celebrations are being held in cambodia to mock fourteen years since the fall of the brutal command rouge regime an estimated two million people were killed under their rule january seventh is known as a victory of a genocide day or simply nation day scott hi-lo reports from prom pan. a victory day celebration at the national olympic stadium here in phnom penh forty years since the overthrow of the camaro rouge regime marked by cultural performances and speeches but it's also a day of reflection and there's a generational divide as to how it's view. cambodian father and son reflecting on the darkest of times for this nation as it marks forty years since the fall of the camaro rouge seen by many here as a rebirth for the country. at sixty eight is lucky during the four years the camaro rouge ruled cambodia from one thousand nine hundred five to seventy nine

almost one in five people died that's nearly two million from either execution starvation or disease lisa says he still has to feed his family and was tortured when he was caught. and i am thankful for what happened and you know what has happened it's the and my family from starvation. but at least the i don't feel that we had the freedom from the floor and we lost that authority to the vietnamese but some feel that regardless of the deep emotional and physical scars from the camaro rouge regime those four years need to be remembered through education and memorials like at one of the infamous killing fields just outside penn. it's already. so it's. very hard even though you want to change it but we cannot change so that it would be. transformed made. almost seventy percent of cambodia population is under the age of

thirty born at least ten years after the fall of the camaro rouge now most of them feel as though this country's dark period shouldn't and cannot be forgotten but that the government and the nation must not dwell on the past leeson any met was born after the camaro rouge regime he now has a son all three generations are hoping for more on the. congo and i know i make an effort today for the next generation with my son to help them have much more than i did try not to compare things in the past too much because even in my time things have changed so much. the only surviving senior camaro rouge leaders were found guilty of genocide just two months ago by war crimes tribunals. while the brutal regime came to an end thanks to a vietnamese led invasion the government underlines the need for independence. forty years ago was a mistake for an independent and it was a mistake

a cold war so that's why to prevent to have. a new young state i things are going to be and dignity and independent is a must. it's a cambodian tradition to release birds to shed bad luck as the people here feel lucky that the chapter of oppression and genocide is behind them many. still hoping for more more freedom and more opportunity and cambodia faces big challenges ahead its political process is on shaky ground its prime minister wants and has been in power for thirty four years the main opposition party has been deemed illegal and there's a growing political influence an economic or lights on china. are still ahead on as you know when we come back. oh sure. we'll tell you why there's been discord in bethlehem during celebrations for also docs christmas. bus why most of the nigerian community in london voted for britain to leave the

european union. from a fresh coastal breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback. hello again and welcome back well i do want to take you over here towards a western part of love and on the satellite image we do have a lot of clouds there to talk about and in these clouds we're talking about snow for turkey we're also talking about a lot of rain over the next few days down here towards parts of syria as well as into lebanon now looking too bad as we go towards monday but it is going to be on the increase as we go towards tuesday a lot more clouds and rain and snow particular up here in turkey in the higher elevations ancora minus two is going to be a high on tuesday aleppo eight in beirut is looking at about fourteen degrees for your high well as we go down here across the gulf not looking too bad for doha twenty six degrees maybe cloudy conditions over towards riyadh at twenty seven but

media and focus on how they recruit on the stories that matter the most in bad news a free palestine a listening paste on al-jazeera. hello again you're watching engineer a reminder of our top stories this hour the u.s. national security adviser says its troops won't leave syria until i saw is defeated in the region john bolton was speaking in israel where there's been concern after president travels abroad decision in december to pull out troops. police in sudan of five tear gas and stun grenades to stop protesters marching towards the presidential palace in khartoum people are angry about rising food prices and

government corruption protests have been going on for almost three weeks now. the delegation of u.s. officials arrived in china for talks aimed at resolving their trade war comes in the middle of a ninety day truce on imposing new tariffs which expires in march. a christmas celebrations by christians in palestine were mobbed by demonstrations some people boycotted the visit of the orthodox patriarch of jerusalem to bethlehem protesters are angry that he's been selling church land arey force and was at the protests in the occupied west bank. this is a familiar pilgrimage for the orthodox patriarch of jerusalem he comes here to bethlehem every year for the orthodox christmas to mark christ birth at the church of the holy it's a beauty and usually he would come here on foot proceeded by marching bands or scouts he would be met by officials from the bethlehem and surrounding governments

. manger square would usually be thronged with people to welcome him but this year it's very different there is a group within the orthodox community who want this visit boycotted on political grounds because of his policy of selling church lands which regularly find their way into israeli jewish hands this year the municipality has both of bethlehem and the surrounding cities have decided to join not boycott actually with our position three months abilities we are not going the butts in will coming there but there is another because. actually there are there is documents says that his selling. their lands and the properties of the orthodox but real whereas in most years manger square would be occupied by people welcoming and celebrating christmas with the patriarch here we see a small group of protesters he's managed to get their way into the square past what has been extremely heavy security around the square in all the surrounding streets

along which the patriarch who's this was meant to come and progress to the church of the holy city we've been speaking to members of the orthodox community here while some very much support the boycott who say he's not. welcome invest and others feel that politics should be kept separate from a religious festival such as this we are against selling glance no matter who or when or where but this is not the day this is the day of christmas this is the day of celebrations we have three hundred sixty four days we can put that we can put us through can do many things was the protesters have been chanting traitor in the direction of the patriarch elsewhere in manger square there are people beating drums and dancing celebrating with him this christmas day the division that that man was talking about between politics and religion doesn't really appear to be attaining here today the politics of the policies of the orthodox church in israel

are very much opposed by many here in the occupied west bank and even on this holy day it is really affecting how it is being celebrated. egypt's president and the fact that his sisi has opened the country's largest church and mosque on the eve of coptic christmas celebrations is being seen as a gesture of tolerance in the majority muslim country which has suffered a string of attacks on christians the effort to help lima mosque in cairo can accommodate more than fifteen thousand washburn's american network c.b.s. has book cast an interview with the option president despite a request by cairo not to air it seems he told sixty minutes his country was taking part in a military in military cough aeration with israel he also denied human rights abuses diane estabrook has more. u.s. television network c.b.s. said the egyptian government demanded it not air an interview with journalist scott

pelley in which egyptian president el-sisi said his government and israel are cooperating in the fight against the islamic state of iraq and the levant would you say that this is the deepest and closest cooperation that you've ever had with israel side that is correct. the air force sometimes needs to cross to the israeli side and that's why we have a wide range of coordination with israel other than the saudi people seek ways it's been estimated there are about a thousand terrorists in sinai with more than a billion dollars in u.s. military aid to every year why haven't you wipe them out where they measure them to stuff that went in there and why hasn't the u.s. eliminated the terrorists in afghanistan after seventeen years and spending a trillion dollars. l c c's comments could inflame public opinion in his country which regards the jewish state as an occupier of arab lands the two countries have

a forty year old peace treaty and diplomatic relations but despite that many egyptians still think of israel as the traditional enemy last year egypt's military denied press reports that it was cooperating with israel to root out i still affiliated fighting groups in the mountainous sinai region bordering the two countries it's been estimated the pelly also questioned about a human rights watch report that claims egypt is detaining sixty thousand political prisoners many of whom belong to the muslim brotherhood the political party l.c.c. outlawed i want to. i don't know where they got that figure i said there are no political prisoners in egypt residences whenever there is a minority trying to impose their extremist ideology we have to intervene regardless of their numbers. l.c.c. claimed any extremists that were being held would receive a fair trial a contradiction for rights activists who say many are in prison and face long

detentions c.b.s. says the interview with the egyptian president was taped a few months ago but didn't say why it had been held until sunday dion estabrook al-jazeera a cuban soldier who became a right hand man to fidel and raul castro has died aged ninety five mourned for nine days helped in the mission to retake a strategic beach in the bay of pigs where u.s. sponsored groups landed to invade cuba in one nine hundred sixty one the failed invasion trying to expel the castro leadership fernandez later became an important figure in the creation of the cuban armed forces. britain's prime minister has warned her critics they're putting democracy at risk if they can't unite behind her brags that deal m.p.'s will vote on teresa mayes withdrawal agreement next week may said backing her deal is the only way to honor the referendum result and protect the economy. what british politicians remain divided over breaks it there is an

unexpected surge of support from some immigrants in one of london's multicultural neighborhoods largely explains. this part of south london is home to people from all over the world afghans sell fruits and vegetables to eastern europeans and africans who rub along perfectly happily with british people who have lived here for generations you might assume this multicultural pockets of the capital is entirely against a brick say it's often portrayed as a defense of whites britain but not so for this nigerian restaurant there is a quiet satisfaction at the prospect of the u.k. cutting its ties with europe and starting to pay more attention to its historical friends in the commonwealth diff they struggle for the right to stay in the u.k. while e.u. citizens don't and they think it isn't fair so most of them voted leave before because bridges is in have an arguer right to leave iraq in the after and swear

allegiance to the queen naturalized in mad nationality to the commune which is a lot of money well when people come from europe to come to the country to be there in the system they don't need to go out into a national now and then because their conscience part of the after that everything and we as a whole in particular i feel cheated i feel jealous about the average africa. african british gladly work for breakfast because i know not because i was anything against the rope and why it would give us this leverage in terms of treatment opportunity are walking. governments has already tried to indicate its support for the commonwealth the prime minister visited both kenya and nigeria last may in london the africa next patch it looked all of this enthusiastically britain. from nigeria special of around ideas are going to talk

more than i do believe there are so more from world that have a lot of you know. thing investments in the idea and cutting their money from an idea on daily basis so they have to return something back to us. it is perhaps an open question what some hard call backs it is make of the support for their cause from black people after all some of the people on this rally in london carried white supremacist flags and hold openly racist opinions ever since the referendum nearly two and a half years ago polling organizations have tried as hard as they can to understand the voting intentions of almost every demographic but for all that the idea that people from commonwealth countries like nigeria might have voted in large numbers to leave the european union is still an almost entirely untold story and one which may have had a bigger affects on the outcome of the referendum than has previously been understood. there are of course economic arguments that future british trading

arrangements with the commonwealth wouldn't be anything like as lucrative for the u.k. as remaining in the e.u. but much of brics it is about emotion and not facts the idea of a rebooted british commonwealth has many supporters here horsley al-jazeera in south london. this year's golden globe awards are being handed out in los angeles the queen bio pic a bohemian rhapsody has just been named best drama film the knights also turned out well for lady gaga she's won a prize for co-writing the song shallow when the film a star is born ost sandro it up an award for best t.v. drama actress for killing. awards also when two african-american actors in a year where diversity has been a major theme mike sargent is co-president of the black film critics or he says there's more diversity in film and television today but it's still not enough. i

hollywood wants to embrace diversity i think they would like to i think you know it's going to start behind the scenes really i think people like regina king in her as her acceptance speech talked about how now that she has a little power you know she's won a number awards three emmys and whatnot when she produces she's going to make sure fifty percent of the behind the camera are women. i want to the world's toughest rallies is getting underway in for a rude the forty first edition of the dakar rally has a unique twist for the first time since the race switched from africa to south america it'll be hosted soley by one country the rally moved continents in two thousand and nine due to security concerns competitors will take on ten stages of off road racing with the race starting and finishing in capital lima is a correspondent.
