u.s. is goal with iran i mean clearly it's to isolate them there are sanctions in place what further what is what is the purpose of such a meeting i think to put so much pressure against the rulers over into iran in order to dictate the conditions of whatever next in terms of the nuclear deal or in terms of american. middle east order and in terms of the supremacy of israel in the region i think the americans want to continue to mount pressure on iran because president had made his decision a long time ago that the nuclear deal and obama's gentle policy towards iran is not acceptable to him and since then he's been basically reversing everything that obama has done so what and what does he what does he want to do he wants iran to sign on a whole new nuclear deal he wants iran to stop the development of its. missile

systems and it wants it want to stop meddling in various countries in the region but it looks sickly. it was the united states failures in iraq and afghanistan in syria and other places of course that have led to mounting ring in influence on those regions iran was in no position to influence what's happening in iraq or syria or even lebanon if it wasn't for the israeli invasion or for the american invasion of iraq and so on so forth so basically iran took advantage of america and israel's mess in the region and now the united states wants to make sure that iran does not take too much advantage against american israel's interests let's talk about israel's influence you did mention syria let's talk about that particular meeting between the presidents of turkey russia and iran what do you see that is actionable or promising out of that meeting well look. as we spoke earlier there's

very little actionable things in terms of what could this meeting in warsaw do against iran but there has been a high degree of normalizations of relations between arab. regimes and israel so i think in sort she we will see more of the normalization whereby the three production ists the three leaders iran russia and turkey will come to find agreements amongst them on how to define the future of syria now there are a few interesting points that we have not made earlier that i think we need to make one. both the meeting insults and the meeting in war so it's circumventing the united nations both of them are in fact trying to undermine the united nations insult she. putin is trying to create a new. a new world to a solution of syria we're from geneva where there is

a united nations sponsorship just as in was the united states and person trump is trying to circumvent the united nations because it's because if the united nations has in fact in shrine the iran nuclear deal that president or i have to so in walsall they're trying to circumvent the united nations bypass international law and the various agreements that the international community made with iran and that's very important to note because it is a dark day in fact for the middle east whereby russia and iran on the one hand israel and the united states on the other the four countries that have created the largest degree of damage to the region and saudi arabia for good measure are the ones today meeting in war so and sort in order to figure out what the future of the middle east is ok and stay close i want to bring our viewers up to speed on another story and then get your insight on this parliament has overwhelmingly approved

constitutional changes for moving term limits for president abdel fatah el-sisi until twenty thirty four changes still have to go through several stages of approval before being put to a national referendum or to stand down in twenty twenty two when his second four year term and so marwan do you think that this will go all the way through all the paces and and become a done deal and if so what are the what are the implications about first of all absolutely it will mean. the regime has been in so much control in the country that everything he's doing now. it's basically rubber stamping his wishes so we can't really call it a parliament in egypt anymore because this is just a rubber stamp for whatever the prez than former general of the c.c. wants to do in the country now we talked about the bit about him trying to be able

to throw from basically two thousand and fourteen to two thousand and thirteen for more or less a president for life and i'm sure he will change the constitution again later on if he wants to govern after two thousand and thirty four but i think what's important and it has not been in for size enough is the changes in the constitutions that allow the military even greater role in both politics government as well as in civic society basically the new constitution will insert an interpretation in trusts the civic society of the civic life in egypt to the military already by the way fifteen thousand people according to human rights watch over the last three years where tried in egyptian military courts and yet have been fantastic so would like to see even greater role for the military in egyptian law in a way that history repeating itself marwan bashar thank you very much. anymore had to end the news hour and clearing of venezuela's opposition eyes the country's oil

reserves as a standoff with the government continues also. this for real madrid taking a big step towards the point of finals of the european champions league. any more on our top story the explosion in indian administered kashmir where at least eighteen people have think killed and data is an author and specialist on kashmir he joins us via skype from india's capital delhi thank you very much for your time do you see this as. an isolated security lapse or a bigger policy failure. i think we've seen this coming for a while because the bark is done by just group just your word which is just. you know spark bigger sponsibility for the cigar on the indian security forces.

you know i knew this we've only got a way to learn they've been trying to get a few interest me ready for the last few months especially because of a couple of indigenous. terrorist groups like. there being more or less contained by the indian security forces especially so because you just seen a lot of gunfire in the last two going up the. so what what do you anticipate the international speech government will do in response to this and what role will politics and elections play in this. i think it's i think it's a terrible that. as you know there's no official confirmation yet on the number of deaths but it's going to play a big big time. for the scenario in the next few weeks because this for me has always been

a hot sport for getting nationalist. in in in in the entire country some of this is going to be our big dog in the next through it all right david thank you so much author and specialist on kashmir. venezuela's all important oil reserves are wanted by the opposition controlled congress opposite opposition leader along has named a new board of directors for the state oil company and it's us the city airing the u.s. imposed sanctions on venezuela's oil industry last month as an arrow describe the sanctions as criminal donald trump is making a terrible mistake by blocking deliveries of foreign aid and the us president says all oppositions are on the table to force majeure oil when our ports and the capital caracas. opposition leader. confident that

nothing will stop him from brings food and medical aid into than israel on for every twenty third from across the colombian and brazilian borders. the 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. if an israel is an army remains loyal to mother little. one suggestion from opposition coalition leader. is to accuse smug little of crimes against humanity if he blocks the 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. be the lever to dos 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 mud 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. that a strong man near the columbia. borders says that business is ready to defend itself from what he believes is the likeliest threat military aggression from colombia freddy but now argues colombia's leader is taking orders from his mentor former president. a sworn enemy of my little. buddy bases colombia doesn't need the americans to invade venezuela because the colombian armed forces are ready to do it all they need is logistical support from the us. why the law 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 model is the time and manner of his departure. and that something mother insists is non-negotiable as the high stakes power struggle as collates. you see in human i'll just see that access the world's largest passenger jet is having its life cut short their buses and then production of the a three eighty in two years time and that is threatening thousands of jobs in alice that was made after a drastic reduction in orders by the super jumbos largest customer and that is emirates so it was supposed to be the plane of the future a super jumbo designed to compete with boeing's seven forty seven jumbo jet specifically made for long haul flights the a three eighty had

a capacity to seat between five hundred and eight hundred passengers or two force making it by far the largest passenger plane but it's also the most expensive at the list price of four hundred forty five million dollars now since its launch airlines have struggled to fill all those seats while also dealing with the aircraft's huge operating costs as a result carriers have focused on cheaper to engineer planes which are easier to fill and more efficient to run a butler has more from air force headquarters in toulouse. well let us bosses here and to do say that this is a very disappointing and painful moment for them they have announced the end all of the a three eighty jet they say will end its production in twenty twenty one now this is a plane that school the super jumbo by aviation funds it is the world's biggest passenger jessica carry more than five hundred forty people is a double decker a thing of engineering but over the years it has been plagued by delays and

delivery rising costs and falling orders the final blow though was the fact that the divide based airline emirates decided to reduce one of its orders by thirty nine planes not simply meant that the a three eighty could not survive i think what we're seeing here is the end of a large four engine aircraft and that is what it is i mean there's been speculation . for years whether we were ten years to even three eighty three becomes clear when we were probably at least ten years too late or more but in retrospect it's it's all easy however let me stress one point here and i hope you appreciate because i know many of you would love to fly on the three eighty we're talking about the end of the production of the free in twenty twenty one we're not talking about the end of the program obviously airbus will support these what is it two hundred twenty

something aircraft that are in operation or where with many airlines or back in two thousand and five when the a three eighty was first told had lots of fanfare at the paris air show last pasta said then that they hoped that this plane would revolutionize long haul travel the idea was a big plane that would carry the maximum amount of passengers from hop to hop but it is the trend of a nation's actually being toward smaller planes more fuel efficient aircraft and that's something the air boss will now focus more on in terms of the impact on the company will process say some three thousand five hundred positions across the european playmaker could be affected and they will be in talks with unions and representatives to see what will happen to those jobs in the future. devil their man has a consulting editor for flight global online news website he joins us now from london we appreciate your time. what did airbus get wrong

well boeing go to rice when in the nine hundred ninety s. when the a three eighty was the design was being put forward and they say we think that the world the way the world networks by is changing and we think that there's going to be less people going into the big major global aviation hubs like world dubai. london new york frankfurt and more people will be flying from local airports because now we have the technology with twin engine there planes to fly very long distances with very advanced technology and bypass the hobs so people can fly from there near from the nearest airport now when boeing made that prediction boss. continued to press forward with its mega jumbo but now to put it into context not only is

has made the decision to cease production on its mega jumbo the a three eighty but boeing is pushing out very very few now of its remaining boeing seven four servants and most of those which are being purchased are freighters pure freight as they're not for persons us. david their man consulting editor with flight global online news website we appreciate your time we do have to get to some breaking news out of sochi but we appreciate your insight very much. let's go now to something where the presidents of russia turkey and iran are holding a news conference and we are going to listen to that. protecting civilians and. maintaining and establishing cease fires and we have maintained and. protected the spirit of our stana over.

this period. comes to the syrian issue a stand initiative is the most successful initiative that existed. so. we have achieved many positive developments on the site thanks to the. actions of this our son our platform. will be. try to achieve peace and stop. others working in completely the opposite in the in completely the opposite direction in trying to educate and increase fights. many hindrance and. hurdles hope been put in front of us in the process and we have succeeded in overcoming them. by way of dialogue as

we. as we are doing here today. sunday should i said said the real. friend hold your hand not. times. good times but at times of difficulty and we have been with the syrian people. the most difficult times that they're facing. and we have spent. thirty five. million. dollars for the f.p.g. you know. aspects of life. we've done everything that we could as the best in the best way we could and we continue to do so. i do my hope

we are going to be able to share good news it's those people who are watching this bit waiting expecting good me was. i'm sure meetings to go for forthcoming meetings they will see that then i'd like to extend my thing send well wishes to my counterparts it is folks will come to counterparts. right as you can see we just lost our signal there but you are listening that was the president of turkey. giving some remarks on the first day of this meeting in sochi between iranian president hassan rouhani and the president of russia vladimir putin as they talk about a way forward in syria we will keep an ear to that and bring you much more from sochi ahead let's move on with the rest of the day's news the u.s. house of representatives has passed a resolution to end american military involvement in the saudi immorality led war

in yemen the measure now faces a contentious vote in the senate and president donald trump says he'll veto it she reports from washington d.c. . this is a five minute vote 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 ending 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 khashoggi. the murder of dramatic 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 to 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 is 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 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's 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. at least nine people have been killed and dozens injured in

a wake of anti-government protests in haiti demonstrators are angry over rising prices and corruption they want the president to step down. as in the capital port au prince was another protester shot dead in the streets of the haitian capital. rather on the drugs they fired tear gas they fired real bullets but we are determined to get rid of is over and this month. thousands of haitian nationals continue to join the protests in port au prince all of them calling for the resignation of president shut down maurice the general 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 would obvious they don't expect so lucian's from government they don't even believe in what they saying and maybe that's why they don't see any it's because for days now. because they free they don't know what to say to reconvenes to 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 an angry crowd 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 americas . despite calls by the international community for a dialogue president 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. port au prince there's treasury secretary and then china trying to end the trade war between the world's two largest economies without a deal on terrorist afore next month's deadline u.s. taxes on chinese goods will rise to twenty five percent our china correspondent adrian 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 iowa's judge has ruled donald trump's former campaign chief violated his plea deal by repeatedly lying to f.b.i. investigators what metaphor faces along our present term because the ruling means prosecutors will no longer be bound by any three men to recommend elena sentence and of course when questioned by the muller investigation into russian meddling in trump's election mike hanna has more from washington d.c.

. this represents a significant victory for robert miller's team the judge has agreed with prosecutors that pullman effort has violated his plea bargain by lying on a number of occasions to the f.b.i. and to prosecutors themselves he will face sentencing in the same court before the same judge on the thirteenth of next month and clearly he could face extensive jail time one must remember too that manifold is also facing sentencing in a separate case this one concerning financial crimes sentencing in that particular case was postponed pending the outcome of these plea bargain hearings but very clear that the special counsel's investigation is continuing apace not clear when or whether his report is going to be publicly released in the near future a prominent philippine journalist has been freed on bail after her arrest for libel re-arrest editor of the rappler news website which is known for criticizing the

government she says the government's trying to intimidate and silence or after a recent article about a business and alleged links to organized crime a magazine recently featured her for advocating media freedom the trial of the drug lord known as el chapo was big news in the u.s. and around the world in his home country of mexico his story is more of a cautionary tale a kinko's man was convicted in a court in new york on tuesday for drug trafficking and other crimes on home and reports. in the u.s. the outcome of the el chapo trial was headline news but the verdict on the man who for a decade symbolized organized crime in mexico barely caused a ripple in his homeland. some newspapers found space for him on their front pages but the president's daily press conference was an hour in before anyone trouble to bring him up the response was a little more than a morality tale. it's

a lesson that's real happiness isn't money or material things cheap luxury and fame real happiness is being a peace with your conscience and with your neighbor. even the juicy trial testimony alleging that quacking guzman slipped to mexico's ex-president one hundred million dollars bribe couldn't make him bite simply because to get the road is it better only we can punish past errors but the best thing to do is to avoid future crimes i'm a believer in looking forward and starting a new era. this in a low a cartel of which working guzman was a prominent leader seems a big believer in the two after his full it simply go to home with lucrative business processing and shipping vast amounts of drugs in spite of arrest and conviction really organized crime is as was in mexico before so what we need to understand is that cartels are cartels do not function as top down vertical

organizations which can be eradicated by reckoning the guy on top they are more to understood as alliances complex alliances of different groups different clans different interests and if you take out one guy doesn't mean that the whole structure will crumble. that's perhaps why the new president has said his priority would be to go after kingpins in his time walking guzman was undoubtedly the most famous of the movie he escaped prison twice and went from poverty to the forbes rich list it brought him respect to some he was an. hundreds of. thousands to. across the country many grieving families here.

one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration is over nasa as mars rover opportunity has fallen silent it was built to last three months but it kept rolling for a remarkable fifteen years area one has for. the mas rover opportunity was a plucky little robot about the size of a golf caught it delivered a mountain of information about a planet that has long kept should be

a magination of scientists and space enthusiasm like opportunity defied all predictions by rolling across the red planet for almost fifteen years until a planet wide sandstone coated at solar panels and dust in june nessa message the unresponsive robot more than a thousand times of the past eight months and reached out a final time on tuesday i learned this morning i thought we had not heard back and our the lafayette opportunity remained silent. it is stare for i thought i'm standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude that i declare the opportunity mission as complete liftoff. in two thousand and three the opportunity rover touchdown a year later and for almost fifteen years nessa scientists have explored the
