in all his colleagues. and. it's the end of the runway for the world's biggest passenger plane as a bus pulls the plug on the a three eighty. hello i'm the stars you take in this is al jazeera live from also coming up. iran calls it the we're still a circus israel says its goal is to advance war with terror on the meeting in poland where iran is center stage but absent. the joint resolution is. a push to end u.s. support for the war in yemen is one step closer to becoming reality but the

challenges remain. and it's all every vote for the moans rover opportunity nasa calls an end to its most successful malls mission. the world's largest passenger jet is having its life cut short says it'll stop production of the a three eighty in two years' time the super jumbos largest customer emirates airline has announced a drastic reduction in orders the dubai based carrier one small it's cheaper to run substitutes instead says that means it can't afford to keep its a three eighty production line in southern france other than putting thousands of jobs at risk. the european aircraft manufacturer had high hopes for the double decker when it first took to the skies in two thousand and five singapore airlines passengers were the first to fly the new giants two years later but aircraft sales failed to take off the a three eighty it was designed to overtake the aging seven four seven jumbo

jet built by boeing in america although popular with both pilots and passengers airlines struggle to fill the five hundred or so seats needed to make a profit and the huge size of the four engine jets means they're more costly to maintain than twin jets natascha but third joins us now live from airbus headquarters in the french city of toulouse natascha where expecting to hear from the c.e.o. of air bus shortly that's right we will be hearing from air bus bosses here and there's no doubt that it won't be a very upbeat upbeat press conference because bus bosses put out a statement earlier talking about the end of the a three eighty describing it as a very painful moment and really in aviation history this is really you know the end of an arrow the a three eighty was called the super jumbo it is the world's largest passenger plane five hundred forty four seats and double decker it was

a feat of mechanical engineering say experts but airbus is saying that they simply have to stop production of this aircraft in twenty twenty one really over the years it has suffered many problems it's been plagued by issues delivery delays rising costs and falling orders but the final blow was really the de by based airline emirates reducing its order of planes by thirty nine now that simply meant that the a three eighty could not survive without that very lucrative and important contract so really this plane that was launched in two thousand and five at the paris air show to much fanfare it was supposed to revolutionize the whole travel is really at its end an attack so what's likely to be the impact on airbus and its workers. well in terms of the workers they'll of course be extremely worried about what this means for them and their futures in their statement to say some three thousand to

three thousand five hundred positions will be affected by the end of the a three eighty over the next three years and discussions are ongoing with the unions to try and see as to what will happen to the staff from the workers that are affected by this decision over the coming months in terms of the shareholders though they will probably be quite relieved and quite pleased that process finally clarified what is happening to the a three eighty because over the past months and years it has been repeatedly reported that bus may end this aircraft but there was never actually any visibility on its future it was making and therefore the shareholders will be pleased that the european plane make a canal perhaps concentrate on smaller more fuel efficient aircraft because that in fact is the trend in the aviation world as natasha butler speaking to us there from ever said quarters into news thank you natasha well iran is the focus of a u.s. led conference on middle east security poland is hosting the meeting about iran's

not invited the event is being snubbed by some countries and not all of the sixty nations represented have sent cabinet rank officials the u.s. vice president and secretary of state and israel's prime minister are attending speaking on wednesday benjamin netanyahu caused controversy by suggesting that those countries at the meeting had a common interest in waging war against iran. well has a whole bar is live for us in warsaw has and there's obviously been a huge amount of controversy before this conference has even begun what's actually on the agenda. well the controversies particularly about the issue of iran on although the u.s. of the polish authorities have been saying over the past few days that this is not going to be iran focus but what we've seen since yesterday is a momentum which is building an escalation in the rhetoric where some of the

professors or some senior members of the u.s. delegation rudy giuliani was talking about the need for an immediate regime change in iran and also israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying before boarding the plane that israel targeted iranian positions. on targets in syria this gives you an idea about the mounting chance in of the potential for further confrontation in the region we're expecting netanyahu to deliver a speech and also the u.s. vice. vice president here in warsaw but i have to say that people are pretty much concerned about the outcome of this particular summits because the russians are not there the iranians are not invited and there's concern that if there is more confrontational turn that could just further destabilize the region other countries are aiming to take the opportunity to try to raise issues

like yemen british foreign minister jeremy hunt said that he is going to push for an end to the conflict in the event there are talks about the need to expand the ceasefire in the data and see whether that could be extended and nationwide other countries are saying this could be the best opportunity to talk about ways to and war in syria to tackle eyes. in the middle east but i have to say. we're back to square one when it's all about iran the iranian government has been very critical of this particular yesterday with a suicide bombing attack targeting elite revolutionary guards in the south part of the country and the iranian foreign minister joe as that is thing this is a circus by the united states of america so what we're seeing now is a is a mountain turns and ask a nation of the rhetoric between the iranian government on one hand and the attendees particularly the united states of america israel and the polish

government here are some are also expecting there to be a discussion around israel and palestine but the palestinians are also and as well as other he is i believe. yes the reason why the policy is decided to walk are not only that the us are the muslim delegations and either to pull out or to send low level delegation to lodge a protest against what is happening here got words there the son in law of president donald trump. is going to brief. today in warsaw about his peace plan for the middle east i have to remind of viewers in the past that there were some leaks that these peace plan could deny the policy is to right to establish an independent state with east jerusalem as its capital this was cardinal for the palestinians and also the right for the palestinian refugees to return back home

and this explains why the policy saying the walsall conference is targeting the national interest of the so i have to say this is an extraordinary moment here in warsaw. for us in warsaw will be speaking to much later again thank you. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution to end american military involvement in the saudi m.r.c. led war in yemen the measure now faces a contentious fires in the senate and president on trump says he'll veto it see how tansey reports from washington d.c. this is a five minute. this is the vote that the house of representatives then controlled by the republicans refused to allow last year with control having shifted to the democrats passage of a resolution demanding u.s. involvement in the yemen war it was never in doubt nearly all of the bombs that have fallen say the same thing made in the united states of america they fall on

weddings they fall on hospitals and on homes they fall on funerals rep you refuse g. camps and school busses i am mindful that this debate is taking place a day after the president disregarded the law and failed to report to congress who was responsible for the murder of journalist jamal to shogi. the murder of dramatic assured you last october has mobilized members of congress against the saudi led war in yemen in fact as one republican noted democrats didn't seem concerned when the previous president began helping the bombardment of the country and would have been nice if our friends were equally concerned with president obama actually was committing us the kinds of activities we're talking about but things have changed and if anything anger has grown on capitol hill for several reasons the white house's refusal to meet a congressional deadline to definitively conclude whether crown prince mohammed bin salman was responsible for the killing a new york times report that revealed u.s.

intelligence had intercepted a phone call in which the crown prince threatened to put a bullet into the journalist reports that despite having been officially fired as a result of his role in the killing of the shoji south alcatel he remains a close aide of the crown prince and the report that u.s. weapons supplied to saudi arabia have ended up in the hands of al qaeda fighters in yemen but it was seen as a split between conservative and progressive democrats the republicans did manage to get bipartisan support for an amendment to the bill allowing the president to continue what it calls appropriate information sharing with the saudis last year a similar resolution was passed in the republican controlled senate an unprecedented assertion of congressional authority limiting the powers of a president to make war under the war powers act the resolution sponsors are hopeful it will pass again in the senate however without a two thirds majority from both chambers of congress president trump can and has indicated he will veto the bill the first of veto of his term and the

administration maintains it is acting appropriately america's not caring for america taken more action in response to the tragic murder of jamal khashoggi i will continue to take more action but if the white house had hoped that opposition to saudi arabia would dissipate in washington in twenty nineteen they've been disappointed she ever tansey al-jazeera. washington. lots more still ahead on al-jazeera. not backing down protesters in haiti keep up the pressure on the president very loud noise to step down. as the man on a mission to strike a deal between the world's two largest economies a performance fast.

and the weather is all coming down across europe we have an area of high pressure this building in the west and that's ensuring the weather here is generally fine and settled the cloud all the messy weather is making its way across the top of that and then tippling down over the eastern parts of europe so we're still seeing a few outbreaks of rain and snow here a fair amount of cloud as well but in the west things are definitely coming down and the temperatures are rising as well say paris and london both getting to around twelve degrees on thursday and on friday london should be up to around fourteen so well above average and feeling like quite a spring day further towards the east though still remains with us and that will make things a little bit gray for some of us in the eastern parts of europe across the mediterranean here we've got some very active weather we've got the swelling massive cloud here it's bringing a strong winds and heavy rain as well it's been bringing us some showers across the north coast of africa and still for some of us in libya and egypt will see more of those as we head through thursday but we're also seeing some wet weather across

parts of turkey and of course the east coast of the mediterranean as well so here there will be more in the way of what weather on friday and they could be a little bit of localized flooding at times to towards the west is generally coming here in fairly warm in out is about nineteen degrees. with a sponsor you can't own a. weapon online. with the link you put them. only if you join us on c.n.n. all of us have been calling those in some form or some this is a dialogue we are talking about a legal friend to me you have seen what it can do to somebody people you can make. and some people. everyone has a voice from the us your boss your twitter and you could be on the street join the global conversation on mt is iraq.

welcome back. a reminder of our top stories this hour the world's largest passenger jet is having its life cut short says it will stop production of the a three eighty in two years' time the super jumbos largest customer emirates airline has announced a drastic reduction in order as. the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution to end american support for the saudi embassy led war in yemen the measure now faces of voters and the senate president donald trump says he'll veto the legislation if senate has approved it. israel's prime minister says the conference and warsaw is focusing on what he calls the common interest of war with iran some sixteen nations were invited to the u.s. led talks on middle east security but terror wrong was excluded. well iran's

president is in sochi with his russian and turkish counterparts to discuss syria's war they last met in september and since then the u.s. has announced plans to withdraw its troops from the conflict and wants to fill that void moscow and tehran believes the assad government should take back control to reports from tehran. they last met in teheran in september the presidents of russia iran and turkey are partners in the so-called asked on a process on syria since then the us announced plans to withdraw its troops from the north east a corner of syria which is under the control of the kurdish armed groups the white turkey wants to fill the void and create what it calls a safe zone in syria along its borders iran however shares russia's position allies of the syrian government are referring to the one nine hundred ninety eight at an agreement between syria and turkey the best way. to defend syrian

turkish borders. legitimate concerns turkish neighbors about terrorist attacks from syrian territory to make sure that the syrian government has control of its territory we have the free. and we can see how best we can use that agreement the kremlin has been encouraging talks between syria and the wife for a peaceful handover but it is also trying to push for direct contact between syria and turkey and that is where the ad in a dream and comes in that agreement and that syrian government support for the p.k. case the kurdistan workers party which turkey considers a terrorist organization russia's message was that turkey can rely on syria to reign in the white peachey which turkey says is an offshoot of the p.k. k. or approach more between the ones close allies is seen as a positive development by iran but i think.

all of them. erdogan has talked about low level contact with the syrian government through the intelligence services russia iran and turkey have their differences but their strategic interests means they find common ground none of the countries want to risk rupturing their relationship russia doesn't want turkey to move into the us camp iran wants turkey to remain an economic lifeline turkey wants a seat on the table the defense ministers of turkey and russia have been meeting to determine the roadmap for the post u.s. period the fate of now under the control of what many in the international community regard as an al qaida linked group seems to be a part of the chip russia has been pressuring turkey to act against. to avert

a syrian government offensive that could cause a humanitarian crisis on its border. that. diminish its. presence. at the. exchange. deals are in the making russia promise to move to wipe e.g. from the border it may promise turkey security guarantees or it could allow turkey to set up a temporary safe zone that is all on the table when the three presidents meet in sochi so. that as well as opposition controlled congress has named a new board of directors for the state oil company as it tries to take control of the country's oil revenues opposition leader. the appointments a new board was also named for the u.s. subsidiary last month washington which. imposed sanctions on the country's oil sector president nicolas maduro has described the measures as criminal. foreign aid

remains blocked from entering that israel or u.s. president donald trump says madeira is making a terrible mistake by not allowing us in he insists all options are on the table to force the venezuelan president to step down this inhuman reports from caracas. opposition leader. confident that nothing will stop him from bringing food and medical aid into than israel on for every twenty third from across the colombian and brazilian borders. but president nicolas maduro vols to use the army to block it calling the main the usaid an imperialist trojan horse. so what is plan b. of an israel is an army remains loyal to mother little. one suggestion from opposition coalition leader. is to accuse my little of crimes against humanity if he blocks the aids passage when there is a genocide or crimes against humanity the world cannot stay in the front when we

are asking is. peace a peace mission that helps these. being delivered to those who are mostly need she couldn't say whether that meant using military force but on wednesday u.s. president donald trump refused to rule it out when he met colombian president even a key ally and staunch opponent of mughal i just want to thank the president for working with us and we're working together our militaries are very focused on working together. let's see how it all turns out. my little strongman near the colombia border says that business is ready to defend itself from what he believes is the likeliest threat military aggression from colombia freddie but not argues colombia's leader is taking orders from his mentor former president. a sworn enemy of my little. already bases colombia doesn't need the

americans to invade venezuela because the colombian armed forces are ready to do it over the natives logistical support from the us. why though insists he wants to avoid a military conflict but he's hoping the threat of one might convince venezuela's military to turn on muddle this as more calls for dialogue appear to fall on deaf ears the clock is ticking and there are absolutely no signs of a compromise on either side and significantly for the first time the opposition appears to be united in that the only thing it's willing to discuss with president mahmoud is the time and manner of his departure. and that something mother insists is non-negotiable as the high stakes power struggle escalates. you see in human i'll just see that access. well president maduro is urging the world to stand in solidarity with his country against threats from the

u.s. all your time in your position again today the president of the united states is threatened venezuela with a military invasion i am asking the whole world the homelands of the world for their solidarity. at least nine people have been killed and dozens injured in a week of anti-government protests and demonstrators are angry about rising prices and corruption they want the president to step down. in the capital port au prince was another protester shot dead in the streets of the haitian capital. rather than just they fired tear gas they fired real bullets but we are determined to get rid of is over. this month. thousands of haitian nationals continue to join the protests and for the prince all of them calling for the resignation of president should. be done exactly right now we will not have a dialogue with moyes we can have that dialogue when he has gone in the last two

years haiti's economy has suffered a sharp financial decline and a fast climbing inflation rate critics accuse the president and his cabinet of corruption and failing to follow through on promises to improve the national economy cities not connected with each a to me says there's been a tipping point in the haitian people have lost all confidence in the government so there's a confidence crisis people don't trust government people they don't expect so lucian's from government they don't even believe in what they see and maybe that's why he does the it's because for it days no. because they free you don't know what to say to really convenes you know what to see to really make people believe. tensions remain high or cross the city demonstrators preparing for more clashes with police have set up street barricades all over town some taking advantage of

the chaos have looted shops and grocery stores in the center of town. there have also been attacks on the presidential palace most recently in angry crowds attempted to block road access to the airport ongoing anti-government protests have brought port au prince to a standstill schools are closed supermarkets are closed government services have been halted the economic impact of the political crisis over the last week alone could be measured in the tens of millions of dollars a staggering amount of money for what is already the poorest nation in the americans. despite calls by the international community for a dialogue president bullies has not made any public statement on the unrest for nearly a week with violence escalating it appears there's still room for the political crisis to worsen. a disease of port au prince. the u.s. treasury secretary is in china to try and end

a trade war between the wilds two largest economies stephen and us negotiators hope to reach an agreement on tariffs the for a deadline and mots without a deal u.s. taxes on chinese goods will rise to twenty five percent brown has more from beijing . well it may be valentine's day but there's not much love lost between trade negotiators from china and the united states the u.s. treasury secretary steve minute left his hotel in beijing on thursday morning saying he was looking forward to these talks but he wouldn't elaborate for these talks to succeed though there has to be some goodwill on both sides both sides are trying to reach a framework of a deal that they can put to president xi jinping and president donald trump for them to sign but there are a number of sticking points for the united states it's the issue of verification making sure that china sticks to its word on what is agreed here in beijing i

understand that the two sides are discussing a mechanism whereby tariffs would be automatically raised if china didn't keep to its side of the bargain now of course the united states has other complaints it believes that the way china does business is unfair many of its trade practices it wants reformed in particular the vast subsidies that the government gives to domestic companies here in china and of course there's also the issue of companies here in the united states who went into joint venture arrangements with chinese partners being forced to hand over their intellectual property their know how as a condition for doing business here in china but these are big complex issues and it's doubtful that they can be resolved between now and early march so i think what you're likely to see here in beijing a best is a partial superficial deal on the issue of tariffs and the two sides would have to continue negotiations on those other outstanding issues one of the hardest working
