the survival wages one of the first things they spend their money on is air travel they want to go places and so air travel is booming when everything when a lot of other industries are struggling so the airlines and the aircraft manufacturers are all doing well meeting this ever increasing demand for which nobody sees the moment any sign of a downturn so everybody is happy low cost carriers and the traditional carriers too and mr whitman if you know everyone in the industry is doing well if as mr near mount says both boeing and airbus are doing well and airlines for their budget a more traditional carrier is doing well i mean how do you compete an end history like that when there was so much demand for travel. i may not agree i mean not all airlines do well i mean especially in europe we have seen a few bankruptcies the last couple of years and especially this year already so i

think the big network airlines on its native more traditional airlines of the past are doing rather well and and their specially locus their lines on the regional scale are going also very well if you look at low cost airlines going on the medium haul to long haul then the numbers don't look as promising then on the shortfalls so there are challenges in the industry of course and if we assume further increases in fuel prices in the future they may be challenge to with their costs again and the rather low prices that. the demands on the market will be a challenge for them so i do see a challenging industry that is doing rather well at the moment. but the growth of the it looks at the growth of the industry to growth of demand is also needed to have success in the future and missed. much as how do you say the industry the state of the industry at the moment and what it means for you know the travelers

and for consumers. if so it's very fragmented and divided up into divisions as the previous gentleman just senate hearing your we have a very big problem with consolidation but also in overcapacity there is simply too much capacity within europe there are too many airlines buying the same route and the current price level the current cost of being able to fly let's say from here in france to italy is not sustainable it's not sustainable that any airlines and this is why we often see airlines collapse because combine that with the globally higher fuel price it's calmed down quite a bit since the new year two thousand and eighteen was really the year that airlines are set to the fluctuating oil price it has been a very and an unstable twelve months but on the whole the airline is that what we're really doing well. is that we're fragile have either disappeared or they marched out with another fragile player so if almost so nice when i missed

a limb until i got about thirty seconds left i'll give you the last line that's that that's a picture of the last twelve months in the industry had you say the next well. i don't see any great changes i think this this a free ac demise the new story it's big but all of us in the industry were expecting it's and it's not a surprise to anybody least of all it's not a surprise to the airlines they're ready for the future the way it's going to be all right mr chairman thank you very much for that and we'll have to end it on that note ready for the future i'd like to thank all of i guess that is alex the chairs and to stay with the amount in london and andreas what and saying gallon and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting our website alexander dot com and for further discussion do go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash a.j. and side story you can also join the conversation on twitter i handle this at age

. the u.k. parliament once again giving to recent may a thumbs down the prime minister another setback on her brakes. and a winning basketball coach you just saw it. time for a bit of on court drama golden state steve kerr gets ejected as the same expats and . allow two competing meetings have wrapped up both addressing events in the middle east in warsaw the u.s. convened a meeting of its allies with iran the focus of their attention in sochi russia's president hosted turkish and iranian leaders for a fourth round of talks on the war in syria a harder begins our coverage from tehran. the so-called guarantors of the syrian peace process the president of russia iran and turkey are partners in the asked in

a negotiating framework the leaders met to find consensus on how to carve up syrian territory following the planned u.s. would draw all of american troops from an area under the control of the kurdish group the why peachy it was clear even before the summit began that they didn't agree russia and iran told turkey that the syrian government should we gain control of north east syria once u.s. troops leave at any plan to set up a safe zone in syria along its borders would need the consent of president bashar assad's government the turkish government's concerns should be taken into consideration we believe cooperation with the legal government of syria and deployment of syrian soldiers alongside international borders is going to be more sustainable iran continues to be willing a long side russian friends to play its role in order to ensure friendship between syria and turkey turkey's president or the god once a close friend of the syrian president has been a staunch supporter of the opposition since the uprising began in two thousand and

eleven or to god recently acknowledged that there have been low level contacts between turkey's and syria's intelligence agencies the turkish government wants a safe zone to push the u.s. allied kurdish on. border it considers the group a terrorist organization and threat to its national security. security concerns but they want. to be which means. and provide the guarantees turkey seeks russia iran also have another demand they want turkey to clear a demilitarized zone for fighters in the province the province is under the control of. a group many of the international community consider linked to al qaida. i'd like to stress the creation of deescalation is a temporary measure the rest of the rebels shouldn't go unpunished that may be

a threat of a russian backed syrian government offensive that turkey wants to prevent so as not to cause a humanitarian crisis on its border. syrian people especially in our brothers and sisters are trying to stay alive they've suffered enough and the pizza difficultly we will continue to do what we should be doing based on the memorandum we're determined to make the situation worse the strategic interests of russia iran and turkey not just syria means their differences are unlikely to affect their alliance but turkey's feeling the pressure. to. announce in poland where the united states is stepping up its efforts to isolate iran it was billed as a meeting on security in the middle east but u.s. leaders called on the more than sixty nations attending to unite in putting pressure on iran the european union sent only. delegates to the talks in.

any solution to unrest in the middle east was impossible without first taking on iran. you can't achieve peace and stability middle east without confronting iran it's just not there been one for eleven years syria and iraq. rages and who do so last night has all. these are real threats there are others as well but you can't get peace in the middle east up which. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu echoed the u.s. position of uniting against the wrong person. in our struggle turning. for some sixth foreign minister and representatives of dozens of government. and israeli prime minister for foreign ministers of arab countries stood together and spoke.

truth or. immunity against a common thread here and you. are joining us now live from warsaw as our correspondent jim ellis show yeah so what are the main takeaways from from this conference then. well depends if we're going to speak to a cynic or maybe those who are in favor of it cynics would say this was just another attempt by the trumpet ministration to try and exert its leadership of the international community by bringing together members of so many different countries however that aside from the show of kind of ability to bring them together failed in trying you know an achievement some sort of consensus when it comes to the key issues of the middle east namely iran palestine syria yemen and all of the other conflicts taking place let's take it apart a bit how is it when we talk about iran there was the initial idea behind this

conference was chewed name with some sort of kind of confronting iran or the perceived iranian threats as the u.s. . referred to it however the europeans did object to that's and said that they were unwilling to attend if that was the case so that forced the u.s. to change the title to a more generic one one of the security and stability in the middle east them but despite that it was very evident from the beginning you had ardent pro israeli american politicians and i grew the giuliani speaking at this well funded and to rein in government protests which took place just before the meeting and then you had statements by the israeli prime minister going as far as say is that the you want to go to war with iran obviously we would take that in the context of the israelis looking also. to their general elections in april if you talk about the palestinian issue for example which is the core of unrest and instability in the middle east the continued illegal occupation of arab land by israel well you didn't have time to present you didn't have the lebanese presence and therefore there was

major stakeholders that's weren't there so all of this together with the absence of other key players or at least downgrading the representation either from european countries or from arab nations as well would make maybe even not just cynics may be objective on of this say that there was very little in terms of success or actionable success that came out of this meeting and you may mention there are a lot of countries not sending high level delegates but one one leader who was there was the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu what was what was in it for him what was he to hoping to get out of this. well he came out with probably the most out of everybody the initial he was. center stage in the family photo that was there and he was constantly referred to by us vice president mike pence and by searches states pompei on therefore it gave him a chance to censorship here is this rod statesman but more importantly was his

ability to get through the u.s. actually is efforts to get representatives of certain arab governments to make public what everybody knows was going on behind the scenes for several years which was the normalization of relationship between specific arab countries and here we're talking about the united arab emirates even saudi arabia under the kind of defacto leadership of crown prince mohammed bin sultan money and the fact that he was able to meet and. texture of states might prepare describe it's break bread with these leaders is going to be something that's he's going to point to ahead of his elections but it is important to note however that whilst that was taking place here in warsaw amongst discussions amongst the arab population there was a lot of criticism to this moment so you had patched legs in saudi arabia being used talking about snow to normalization between saudi arabia and israel and you had similar feelings being expressed by journalists as well as analysts and public

figures across the arab world to now thanks very much an attache yeah in mosul now it is the worst attack on indian forces in kent in kashmir since two thousand and two an explosion that killed at least thirty nine people in poor woman district in the indian administered part of the territory india's prime minister has called the bombing of the military convoy despicable mohammed reports. multiple casualties after a blast along a highway in indian administered kashmir one of the worst attacks to hit the disputed himalayan region in almost three years according to reports the majority of those killed were indian paramilitary personnel when a car filled with explosives rammed into a military convoy in the district of. the attack happened on a main road that connects the state capitol street to gar to the city of jammu pictures from the blast site showed bodies and body parts strewn across

a wide area. i was sitting inside my shop and all of a sudden an explosion happened it was very massive and felt like the building would come down i came out on so small that the side of the explosion and the breeze from vehicles in there kashmir has been divided between india and pakistan since one thousand nine hundred seven both countries claimed the area i think we've seen this coming. just drew gesture what they've been trying to get out. of court the last few months especially because a couple of indigenous. groups like. this. but in doing so your course especially so which is you know. in the last to go into tens of thousands have been killed in the past three decades in the uprising against the indian administration this latest violence comes just

a day after dozens of high school students were wounded when there was an explosion in their classroom in kashmir. al jazeera. the senior democrat on the u.s. senate foreign relations committee has called on the trumpet ministration to turn over all documents related to the killing of saudi journalist let's get more on this now for mike hanna who is in washington for us so mike where does this put things now on the. investigation and what the u.s. government knows about. well hossam it's another significant salva in the sun going struggle between congress and the trump administration on the investigation into the cause shoji affair to take us back to october then the senate sent the trumpet ministration a formal letter asking for an immediate investigation into the murder of jamal

khashoggi and accountability for those responsible now that was one hundred twenty day deadline for the president which expired this last friday night there was no response from the trumpet ministration apart from a letter by secretary of state on peo outlining that sanctions had been imposed against seventeen saudi arabian nationals none of them a senior leader well now bob menendez the ranking democrat on the senate intelligence committee has written a letter back to the secretary of state in response expressing anger and dismay at the lack of apparent investigation in terms of that senate request and saying that the. department of state must now hand over all its material relating to the investigation into the death of jamal khashoggi so certainly a very significant uptick in this ongoing struggle between congress and the trumpet ministration on the investigation into gee bob menendez and mentioning too that the

senate had made a further request that the president rule on the accountability or otherwise off the crown prince mohammed bin solomon in the murder of jamal khashoggi so very much an up tick in the ongoing power struggle between congress and the trump administration on that investigation into jamal khashoggi is death and the apportioning of accountability for it mike thanks for that mike hanna in washington . egypt's parliament has overwhelmingly approved constitutional changes removing term limits for president abdel fattah his sisi until twenty thirty four the changes still have to go through several stages of approval before being put to a national referendum the c.c. was due to stand down in twenty twenty two when his second four year term and we've got plenty more ahead on this news out. to the protesters in haiti keep up the pressure on the president to step down over the rising cost of living and

corruption plus. tomatoes onions and plans almost ever sort of legible is that thirty per cent more expensive than turkey is that a year ago the government has brought in some measures to bring food inflation down but will its work i'm seeing i'm close all in a stumble. and sport chelsea face a europa league test as they bid to hit back from their worst defeat in close to three decades. so let's go ahead but first british prime minister to resign may has suffered another setback in parliament on her plans to leave the european union and voted on several amendments to may's breaks of plan lawrence lee is live in london for so long to bring us up to date there. it's it's complicated and it's

a shambles that's one of the top line of the government motion they got to face it's basically sets out what the states of play is at the moment in the states of play the moments is based on previous focus that there was a majority in parliament the wanted to renegotiate this thing called the backstop which people who want to leave the european union faired would keep the u.k. in a sort of orbits around the european union that sing along so those people who don't who don't like that voted against the governments but equally that politicians have also agreed previously that he didn't want to leave the european union without a deal and all the people who do want to leave without a deal voted against that as well. so in combination you have both leavers and remain is both sufficiently unhappy with the states of affairs that series of makers organize and they all basically joined in not abstained all voted against things as they are the moments and so what it means ultimately is that parliaments

as sides and on in the whole thirty days so unhappy with series amazed to learn the trajectory of how things are that's it just when it's time for it but at the same time there's no majority for anything else there's certainly no majority for leaving without a deal nor is there a majority for staying in the european union and there's no majority for some other source of. either and that's what the european union keeps saying is the problem these people simply don't know what they want so it's chaos and reason may seems even the commons to hear the results of this but she's now got to go back to the your opinion of some point explain what exactly she intends to do next i think in your they must be thinking when all these people ever going to make their minds up what they do want well yeah i guess my next question lies i mean how are our european leaders going to be. and all are. going to have a lot of good things to say ah me. no i mean i mean the european leaders keep

saying. she won't there's no majority for anything inside parliament you know there are people who want in there who want. to want no deal to want to crush out there are people who want the labor party who want to stay in the customs union there are a group of people who don't want to leave it's old and none of them can coalesce around any sort of position that can get the majority and so the european union left thinking well go on then do something and you're starting to hear you know really angry voices from usually sanguine politicians to the dutch prime minister said today that he fears the u.k. is becoming a little country losing influence around the world sets adrift in the north atlantic and too small to go around bossing other countries and telling the european union in particular this is how things should be and you do start to wonder the point if the point is coming where the european union is just going to say let's just just go we just can't be bothered with you anymore because if the alternative is an unruly country like the u.k.

staying in that makes life even harder for the e.u. so it may be that the u.k. the e.u. is almost now at the point of losing patience entirely with the u.k. and just saying just just forget it. all right. in london with. their. now venezuela has enlisted the support of fifty countries of the united nations to show support for it in its showdown with the united states foreign aid remains a blocked from entering the country and the us president has said all options are on the table to force president nicolas maduro out sue newman has more from the capital caracas. opposition leader one white dog 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. in israel as army remains loyal to mother little. one suggestion from opposition coalition leader might be echoed you know my challenge is to accuse me of 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 columbia 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. didn't. a sworn enemy of my little infant or databases 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 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 muddled all 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 the

president 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. ok where elizondo joins us now from washington d.c. when it's a meeting of several latin american states what's what's happening there. yeah this meeting just ended here the organization of american states there were more than sixty five different delegations from sixty five different countries that were invited to this meeting that lasted several hours and it was a meeting that was set up by the opposition and his advisers here in washington and they just announced that they received one hundred million dollars in a from various countries that recognize as the president of venezuela and

i asked them to try to get more information on exactly where this aid is coming from they just said that it came from canada the u.s. germany holland taiwan and the european union some of this hundred million that was just pledge was previously player some of it was pledged today so it seems like now those and the opposition can now are claiming that they have in total one hundred million that has been pledged to them this meeting here lasted several hours was really for two things number one it to see if they could get some aid money which it seems like they did and also number two to really show solidarity solidarity for the more than fifty countries that do recognize those president. so we do seem to be in something of a standoff here with venezuela because the we've got to say that he had that he's on the board of that. and his people are trying to get through and the government in venezuela is saying it's it's not going to happen and it doesn't look like this

side is going to budge on this does it. yeah. yeah if you can still hear me what we have here is basically competing diplomacy going back and forth while this meeting was happening here in washington. as the foreign minister for venezuela was up at the united nations today he announced that they got twenty five million dollars in aid from china and other countries as well so what you sensually have here is a back and forth really. competing competing competition really for aid if you will you to have talking about eight or supplies from here you're talking about from the macdougall government aid as well but clearly in my doodles still has a lot of support not only within the military but also as we saw at the united nations today from russia from cuba from china of course russia and china key there

both on the security council and also from the united nations that still recognizes nicolas my duty as a legitimate president of venezuela. all right gabriel and is on the line for us there in washington thanks campbell. at least nine people have been killed and dozens injured in a week of antigovernment protests in haiti demonstrators are angry about rising prices and corruption they want the president to step down and dizziness manwell up arlo is in the capital port au prince was another protester shot dead in the streets of the haitian capital. the other guards they fired tear gas they fired real bullets but we are determined to get rid of is over that this month. thousands of haitian nationals continue to join the protests in port au prince all of them calling for the resignation of president jacques then worries about a 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 he's economy 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 do not connect the part of 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 say and maybe that's why they don't see any it's because for eight days now. because they don't know what to say. they don't know what to say to really make people believe. tensions remain high across 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 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. all right

when we come back on down till saturday's election in nigeria with the presidential contenders on the final leg of campaigning. and it's all over for the mavs rover opportunity nasa calls an end to its most successful mission to the red planet. and later in spore we'll hear from the olympic champion and leading the charge in the fight against. hello there we've got an awful lot of unsettled weather across the middle east at the moment if you take a look at the satellite picture we can see one area of cloud that's making its way across the eastern parts that's bringing some of us some rain and snow but as it moves out the way we're seeing yet more wet weather making its way in from the mediterranean so lots of rain here some strong winds as well and that system will be tending to snow as the hits the higher ground or of that is gradually edging its

way eastwards and as it does so it's going to be joined by a system that's making its way in from saudi arabia say the southern parts of iran the southwestern parts of iran will also see a fair amount of heavy rain as we head through the day on saturday and that system that is affecting us across the arabian peninsula you see the cloud here across parts of saudi arabia over parts of the gulf is well.
