zero. but ten days left before the break said dad lying prime minister to resign a summons her cabinet or marathon talks looking for a deal parliament will finally accept. and how the markets in this is all to see real life from doha also coming up a popular former presidents of all syria has been asked to lead transitional government's once of glossies beautifully steps died. six months after the killing of journalist tamara should reports say the saudi government paid his family

millions of dollars in compensation. for the first time in nearly three decades a greek prime minister visit supporters now known as north macedonia a symbolic hands to a name change the streets. of the u.k. prime minister to resign may is holding a marathon meeting with senior ministers in a bid see brink the brics it deadlock the u.k. is china to leave the e.u. in ten days time but so far parliament has not said grades on a deal. chief bracks at the go see it so michel barnier says the book is ready for a no deal scenario. or. never in my desired instance you know but you can't you see there is no prepared.

to do more like. well we have two reporters following all the latest developments for you paul brennan is outside the u.k. parliament will be with him in just a few moments time first though let's go to the fark are his science the prime minister's office where that cabinet meeting has been underway for several hours now needs you've been there for many hours now is that a sign that perhaps the cabinet as divided as the british parliament is. yes let me be precise more than eight hours in finance and there was a bit of a flurry of activity a few moments ago some close protection officers shuffling around we've heard the sound of some engines have started the been serial cars being parked outside number ten has now turned into a bit of a jog on their way seeing obviously to whisk off ministers to do other things with their day what's left of it at least so all eyes on obviously the black door behind

me we may well see some senior ministers start to leave in a few moments or so but to be honest who really knows one would assume that after eight hours that ministers of chatted and discussed all different kinds of options all kinds of configurations going forward when it comes to breaks in everything from a no deal break suited to laying bricks into even revoking article fifty and possibly even the deal that was dry to reserve my deal going in front of parliament for another go but we are hearing that the speaker of the house of commons if that indeed is an option for the government may insist on there being significant changes to that deal to give it one more go in parliament that was the situation last week which reason why it was forced to divide divorce deal into its two component parts the political declaration and the would drool agreement the withdrawal agreement went before the house on friday and coupled with that to raise them a promise to resign if the deal passed it didn't pass so now we are here back to

square one with the government trying to work out exactly what happens next the big question i think after this meeting is whether or not there will be a statement and of course they're all important question whether the deal will go before parliament again some careful calculations undoubtedly. have been taking place inside this building behind me mccain effects very much for keeping an eye on that front door for a. patient rates if i. what the results of that epic cabinet meeting will be while we continue to wait let's cross now i suppose brennan he is i side the u.k. parliament in london paul polman says been back in session today this comes of course after they had rejected several options to do with finding a solution to what is parliament doing what are the next steps for u.k.

parliamentarians. well the dismay and finger pointing and recriminations that followed last night's failure to come to a majority for any of the four indicative votes which are put before them has given way today to intensive discussions as to the way forward the m.p.'s bonamy on not waiting for to resign may come up with some alternative from cabinets they're going about their business to try to make her avoid a no deal now the consensus that's come forward is across party bill submitted by a labor m.p. called yvette cooper on a conservative m.p. calls all of the left wing and what it would do is use the time that n.p.c. already carved out for themselves to seize control of parliamentary time from the government in order to put before parliament a one clause bill essentially forcing the prime minister to go back to brussels and asked for an extension to article fifty that is the leaving time table that would essentially delay the bracks it deadline days how are they going to do it well

there was some talk that they would starts to pave the way for its own wednesday and actually debate on thursday now we've seen a more detailed draft and it looks like in an almost unprecedented way they're going to try and relevant the whole thing through on on wednesday the second and third readings of this bill it will be opposed quite vigorously by certain factions certainly within the conservative party but they expect the hope no expectation the hope of those that are submitting it is that the fact that the effective votes of so far failed means that the priority now has to be to avoid a no deal if it's all possible reasons why is because they are not certain that the prime minister when given the choice between leaving the european union without a deal or going for an extension they believe that you might just go for a no deal and that is something that the house has already voted is not in britain's best interests and very keen to avoid it and if necessary they will try to force the prime minister on in order to make sure that doesn't happen. paul

brennan joining us from westminster thanks very much for bringing us cities with all those latest developments or don johnson as opposed to reports or for the poll six home political news websites he says that any delay will have an impact on the upcoming european elections well i think if if we agree to any kind of extension at the moment then harass fighting in the european elections would be absolutely necessary parties have already started preparing the government today has gone out or yesterday sorry with advice to returning officers the people who are responsible for hosting these elections within parliamentary constituencies saying that they should start now preparing and that the government will reimburse them for the cost so it's something that's certainly been taken seriously here i think it would be a precondition or it would be necessary if we were to ask the e.u. for an extension so again it comes back to whether there would be other conditions or circumstances in which they would offer that extension but us holding

parliamentary elections for the european parliament here would be a necessity if we have any kind of extension. sent to other news now a day after all jiri as president said he would step down later this month a popular former leader has revealed that he's been asked to lead a transitional government the i mean was president of algeria from one thousand nine hundred four to one thousand nine hundred ninety nine of course there have been weeks of protests demanding that the current president of lizzie's beautifully should leave office matheson has more. these pictures apparently show a meeting between president both of his predecessor i mean zero while an army general close to beautifully because brother in a statement says he's been asked to stand in as temporary leader until a new president is elected after beautifully steps down. those who back to flicker will be hoping the presence of a respected former president will come protest and such as these in the city of

bizarre who want everyone really to put a flicker to go. to the five years but that's it we are sick and tired of him he has to go we have suffered you know. what i've done i am my last general salah why you don't take the president and leave the country good to be done you sound our country. a statement read on state t.v. said president uphill as he's beautifully called will resign before his current term officially ends on april the twenty eighth his opponents say nothing will change unless beautifully his backers go with him and. we appreciate the statements of the national popular army during this transitional period the people must be the masters and a transitional government formed according to a general consensus that will never deceive the algerians the eighty two year old has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke six years ago is accused of being a token front man for military and business leaders who his critics say really run

algeria. the operating rules of the system must be completely changed and that is what the ruling powers refuse they want to give themselves some time to return again after some window dressing this is like it's always been except that today the people are determined the president statement also said announcements to ensure the continuity of the state's institutions will be made within days but opposition leaders say the president no longer has the right to make decisions. weeks of protests may have discouraged president bush to flicker from standing for a fifth term but the struggle for power in algeria is becoming more open there are also questions about how long the military will tolerate demonstrations like the rob matheson odyssey. well joining us here in the studio is. a professor of science and international relations at qatar university thank you so much for

talking us through this this statements from the former presidents the i mean it's very carefully words aides what can we read into this why did he issue the statements what this statement was issued the simply. accusations that he would. side. and somebody from the village embassy and the french security services so this rumor came out in algeria a few days ago. in himself came out and he's always be loyal to my country i have never conspired against it so to quash those particular rumors there was an adult gentleman. who used to be in tells of the security of the president who left his job two thousand and fifteen he was pictured with. in. this well do you will this meeting allegedly took place so he came out yesterday to

say i was passing by live in the neighborhood i saw some. stuff they worked with so we want to say hello to them but i have never met with anybody now would give me the word came out basically to say yes i met with two fifty million who asked me to had this body for transition and that sold this just meeting basically at the. comedy and side which we need to talk to the world but in between the lines he will say this like there was no proper meeting with the side which describes that have already met with mcginn so it did talk about meeting with the french and so on and so forth is not that so this is basically the first one the second the second point is basically it was said that i was very very proud of that was people it's the mulches demonstrations have been very very disciplined that he also blamed the system in algeria over the years it has not been listening to its own people now it

did is that they would listen because the situation is very dangerous because the end of the day if we don't do the right thing the country may go into chaos he also said that. a divorce what it takes is one seems to thousands of fall i have been asked to be involved but i have always said no. i believe in the rotation of people based on the free will of the people and if little titian of power takes place to lead to the emergence of the younger generation to take over that is so in that he is very deferential to the supporters from the start he's very very very kings underline high priority is of the movement how he supports them what does this say about his intense do you think he's he's putting out feelers almost to see if he would be accepted by protests this is an interim leader this is certainly i don't think so because he was and he gave up power and he's been asked several times but

he always but is made up of maybe for sixty seventy percent of the people and the age of forty let's give the young people a chance and they drum this. again so he's not necessarily so you take me what he is listen i am very proud of you i listened to what you say and i supported those the most rational the mulcher since the very very beginning the twenty five second of february that the system the part of the political establishment should listen and so on and so forth but at the end of the day he is a war veteran. civil can position in the military and he was minister of defense he was also but it didn't and if the call of duty comes to save the country i would not say no and we will have to leave it there unfortunately thank you so much for your thoughts on the analysis of one doe professor of science and international

each so cold blood money. well it has now been six months since the journalist she was murdered in turkey let's take a look at how that case on falls it's. a saudi writer and columnist for the washington post newspaper he was also a u.s. residence he had lived in the u.s. and self-imposed exile since twenty seven scene after voicing a broadcasting critical comments about the saudi crown prince muhammad bin solomon according to c.c.t.v. footage has entered the site the consulates in istanbul one fourteen pm on october the second last year he had gone to the consulate to get papers certifying his divorce and we needed those documents in order to marry his turkish fiance a teacher saying this is it she waited for him outside that consulates and three hours later she asked consulate staff where her fiance was she was told he had left

the building via the back door it took two weeks for saudi authorities to finally allow turkish investigators inside the consulate and ten days later after repeatedly changing the story and denying any knowledge of hershel g.'s whereabouts saudi arabia admitted he had been the victim of premeditated murder inside the consulate building while murder heat sensor national pressure on the side of the leadership specifically the crime prince under simmons reports. the cia may have pointed the finger of suspicion of mohammed bin salma ruler of saudi arabia but nevertheless it's this data itself that's in charge of bringing jamal khashoggi is given as to justice and maybe other investigations but not on show any sign of taking the case away from saudi officials who vehemently deny the crown

prince ordered his murder. turkey has worked relentlessly is attempting to get extradition of the men saudi arabia had accused of being part of a rogue plot to murder because georgie from the very outset turkish investigators suspected the saudis were more engaged in a whitewash than an inquiry and the un has acknowledged that turkey was prevented from getting access to the murder scene at a crucial time turkish leaks to the media showed c.c.t.v. pictures and the names of fifteen men suspected by turkey of having been part of it team that killed in the saudi consulate. turkey asserted that it had strong evidence tape recordings held of the gruesome murder it passed on to foreign governments and the cia but body couldn't be found. last november the saudi public prosecutor announced that out of twenty one suspects taken into custody eleven had been indicted and he said five could face the death

penalty on charges of ordering and committing the crime and the motion is agreed to u.s. senators have provided some hope for those campaigning for an independent investigation but last month closed door briefing at the white house ended with little achieved senators including republican lindsey graham said the meeting was a waste of time like many he believes donald trump who on different issues is a close ally won't ever accept intelligence information from the cia that mohammed bin salmond ordered the murder. the un initially reluctant to get involved is now attempting its own inquiry led by agnes kalamata special rapporteur on extrajudicial executions yet made a request to the saudi government for access to the consulate there later she said saudi arabia is grievously mistaken if it sinks its secretive trial process conforms to international standards the accused haven't been named but one man

categories american experience natural world travel people altered images in mobile when you get down to sixty final last all of them have technical elements technical excellence and one thing that i think it really boils down to is impact oftentimes look for something that an image that has many layers of meaning is that if you want to go back to it and look at it again and again and again and get different different different points information each time you look at it. almost like listening to an album over and over again and learning hearing new bits there's an image where there's a group of folks are reenacting the passion of the christ and it's i love it because it's almost like it's almost painting s.q. and it's in its creation the. the most grotesque emotions that are effect on people's faces to the extreme emotions that are right there on the faces and the

layering of the composition is. really draws the reader in or there are many people who have not seen the world of his crossing over them are river what i love about that image in particular in comparison to other images of the world of these crossing is the fact that you have those two will the beast almost emerging from darkness you see the world at least on the shore that i've made it over and that the two just appearing through a very dramatic cloud of dark and that's what i find powerful about that and much photography transcends language right we have people who don't speak english very well who are submitting to our contests and it's beautiful that those stories can be shared universally and i think that's power photography.

watching al-jazeera these are the top stories britain's prime minister is holding marathon talks with her cabinet to try and break the deadlock over. the use chief negotiator says a new deal exit is becoming more likely can still be avoided when the fark or has more now from london. the possibility of a new deal breaks it looms ever closer we know that the e.u. is preparing for that they have contingency plans on the table that they are adamant they are ready to put into full force if a new deal and does deed happen roots of course the possibility of of asking for a delay to break sit back may involve going to brussels and trying to convince the twenty seven nation block to buy back and then of course there is the deal that will not die will to resume a give strikes failed deal are not to go in front of parliament.

i would say after all jarius president said he would step down by the end of this month the former leader has revealed he's you know asked to lead a transitional government's the i mean released a statement saying he had met with a retired army general who is close to the president's brother meanwhile protesters are back on the streets of algeria it's because prime departure of those weeks of mass protests and the army chief of staff is calling the president unfit to rule the reigning government has ordered the evacuation of seventy villages threatened by flooding a state of emergency has been declared and many southern provinces after some of the heaviest rain in ten years at least forty seven radians have been killed in the past two weeks of those are the headlines news continues and al-jazeera after rewinds.
