stories from europe including i just been to see i might see the queen of iran and she agreed to dissolve parliament for an election campaigning begins in britain 2nd general election since the 2016 referendum but will it be enough to break the bracks it impacts and install 5 same's can progress to the knockout rounds of the european champions league this wednesday a win for christian on all those events against lokomotiv moscow will put them in the last 60. open hearings into the potential impeachment of u.s. president donald trump is set to begin next week with 3 key witnesses to testify house intelligence committee chairman adam schiff says the inquiry expects to hear from the u.s. special envoy to ukraine. and you'll remember that he said trump explicitly put

pressure on ukraine's president to investigate his presidential rival joe biden the committee plans to release a transcript of his deposition later on weapons say let's go live now to washington white house correspondent kimberly how could that for us kimberly explain the significance of this next stage of the investigation to us yeah a couple of important things in this next stage you mentioned that we're watching very carefully for the release of those transcripts of that closed door hearing that took place late last month that was described with by democrats when william taylor the ambassador testified as being a bit of a turning point in asons that it would be very difficult for a president trump to survive an impeachment trial why because the testimony was considered credible and particularly damning because as you pointed out it directly contradicts donald trump's denial that in any way there was any quid pro quo essentially of the president denying that he housing or or

a hung back aid to ukraine in exchange for a promise 7 of an investigation into his political rival joe biden so that's very pivotal but also pivotal is now that there has been this announcement that there will now be public hearings republicans up to this point have said this is being conducted in secret this is not a fair process now all of that changes according to the house intelligence committee chair adam schiff i want to let you know as you may know already that we will begin our open hearings in the impeachment inquiry next week we beginning with the testimony of a bastard taylor and a bastard can't on wednesday and we will have a bastard of a lot of it's testify on friday this will be the 1st of the open hearings. and i think you will see throughout the course of the testimony not only their testimony but many others the. most important facts are largely not contested

we are getting an increasing appreciation for just what took place during the course of the last year and the degree to which the president and listed the whole departments of government in an elicit a move trying to get your brain to dig up dirt on a political opponent as well as further conspiracy theory about the 2016 election that he believed would be beneficial to his re-election campaign committee stay with us for a moment cause i want to ask you about our next report more bad news for donald trump democrats and the u.s. of an seas has a number of republicans in state polls just a year out from the presidential election that's a setback for donald trump the campaign for fellow republicans before tuesday's votes cast lopez on reports. democrat andy bashir says he's one kentucky's race for governor. it was a tight election especially for

a conservative leaning state. it's a message that says our elections don't have to be about right versus left they are still about right versus wrong. it seem as a setback for president donald trump who easily won kentucky in 2016 to kentucky is leading the way and that personally campaigned for republican governor matt bevan with the recent fights with labor unions and teachers made him among the least popular governors in the country here's a story for you when they get to make it like and if you lose they can say trump suffered the greatest defeat in the history of the world this was the things you can't let that happen to me. in the one swing state of virginia democrats won the majority in both the house and the senate a 1st in more than 2 decades virginia is officially blue congratulations this. this could give the party control to pass controversial laws on gun control that

were previously blocked by republicans thanks in the conservative state of mississippi republicans won big victory. reeves took the governor's seat against the state's attorney general jim hood the victory seen as a sign of stability for trump a year before the presidential race these elections are a glimpse into what president from could expect in his 2020 reelection bid including whether the democratic led impeachment inquiry is swaying his base. most of the young al-jazeera security given everything else that's going on right now how much of a setback is this for the president. it's not been a good couple of days for the u.s. president as our reporter noted there the president invested heavily campaigning on behalf particularly of the kentucky governor and i down there i had the opportunity to see that normally at these rallies you see sort of an overflow many people

trying to get in to see the president they were able to get in typically watch from the outside that was not the case in kentucky so there was an indication that that was going to be a bruising last night was very very close but at the same time what we've got here now adrian is a bit of a pattern because a year ago we were talking about the congressional midterm elections that democrats sweep swept control of the house has now led to them being able to launch this impeachment inquiry and now we're just under a year out until the 2020 presidential election now conservatives are saying look at these elections were off year elections this was about local issues this is not a bellwether but many people say that this is troubling this is a troubling sign yet again so the challenge is now for the u.s. president to convince the american public to look at the other direction as this impeachment inquiry continues as much of this testimony is revealed now to be public it's going to be harder and harder what the president continues to hammer

down is his economic message that is the one that still seems to be sticking with the american public he tweets almost every day today was no exception look at the stock market see how well the economy is doing at the end of the day that might be what saves the president in his re-election effort in fact what many people say is because democrats have had 2 wins now back to back in a year space of a year that 2020 will be their election to lose a white house correspondent kimberly how could reporting live from washington can believe many things. a number of people have been stabbed in jordan the attack happened in the city of john ascher the victims include for tourists from mexico and switzerland and for jordanians one person has been arrested. it's a 50 or he was heading towards the cafeteria and i was standing by the door behind me will the tourists a little into the cafeteria he passed in front of me in a link to wards i'm a slipped in instead of me then backed away moving towards the policeman gave the

policeman a slight step or tried to attack him from behind and i pushed him to the ground afterwards all the policemen came and took my. life to amman jordan al-jazeera is bernard smith is the burn of any idea what the motive for this attack was what happened why do we know the man who launched this attack leapt over the fence and apparently started randomly slashing out and stabbing those tourists has been arrested and is in custody plenty of speculation about where he might be from but nothing firm yet from the jordanian authorities or no indication of a motive yet we know that the one of the mexican tourists and a jordanian were very seriously wounded and they were flown helicopters here to a man in the capital for treatment in hospital here the others as far as i understand being treated locally this is this destination geraci is one of the jewels in the crown of jordan's tourism there are many there are many jewels but

this is one of the main tourist draws here so it's a big shock really to the jordanian of authority and it should be sad that these sorts of attacks are extremely rare in jordan this is one of the most stable areas of the middle east there was one attack on a that killed a british tourist back in 2006 who was a roman amphitheater here it here in amman there was an eyesore tack a couple of years ago in 2016 that caught a quarter of a canadian tourist and some jordanians so it's very rare ageing that this sort of thing happens here how reliant upon tourism is jordan's economy and what's the impact on tourism going to be after this attack. tourism is an extremely important part of jordan's economy this is a country with 40 percent unemployment between those to 15 to 30 years old and 19 percent nationwide so if you think that tourism contributes about 5000000000

dollars a year last year to jordan's economy employ some 88000 people so it is extremely important and this is one of the peak tourism seasons when the weather is not so hot and there are plenty of people coming from all over the world so it's very important to jordan the or far it is have been very keen to say that they quickly neutralize the quickly arrested this man who carried out this attack and pointed out how quickly those the victims of the attack were taken to hospital and treated as quickly as possible jordan very clean to keen to try and show that it's dealt with this incident very very quickly and try to reassure people of course we know that this city is not the only city in the world in recent years in recent months recent months to have suffered an attack by somebody apparently randomly running around with a knife 18 al-jazeera smith reporting live there from jordan's capital amman one of

many things the u.s. is mediating talks between ethiopia egypt and sue done to try to reduce tension over a hydroelectric dam on the nile river officials arrived at the u.s. treasury department to start talks with the 3 countries in an effort to break the deadlock ethiopia has been building the so-called renascence dam near its border with sudan for 18 years now but egypt fears it will reduce the flow of water along the river which accounts for nearly 90 percent of its supply let's go live now to washington al-jazeera is mike hanna is the mike what sort of mediator will be u.s.b. here what's its position on this dam. well it's very interesting a way that this came about it started with a request apparently from the egyptian president to president trump to mediate in this ongoing crisis ethiopia's being completely opposed to any 3rd party mediate insisting that it's a matter that's got to be resolved between the 3 countries concerned rather than

have any outside assistance but certainly now the fact that the ethiopian foreign minister is here in d.c. along with his counterparts from sudan and egypt a very clear indication that the trump administration has succeeded in the 1st important step and that is bringing these 3 foreign ministers together remembering that talks between these 3 countries have broken down on 3 occasions since 2014 but this is being a very low profile event the press coverage exceedingly limited and interestingly enough state department is not hosting the talks it is rather the treasury department the treasury secretary steve newton being i dead defined by president trump as the point person in these talks. the u.s. treasury department an unlikely mediator in a decades long conflict in a region thousands of miles away a new party attempting to resolve the dispute over a multi-billion dollar water project being developed on the nile river as it flows

through ethiopia neighbors egypt and sudan have been deeply concerned at the consequent impact on their own water supplies this round of negotiation flowing from a meeting between u.s. president donald trump and is a gyptian counterpart abdel fattah el-sisi at which the us leader was asked for help in resolving the but a dispute between the countries. and this week the 2 presidents held a follow up phone call after which the white house released the statement president trump expressed support for egypt ethiopia and sudan's ongoing negotiations to reach a collaborative agreement on the grand ethiopian renaissance dam the waters of the 911 long been a source of conflict in 821 egypt invaded sudan to protect its water supply a series of agreements in the 20th century prevented further major conflict including the nile waters agreement in 1959 in which egypt and sudan agreed as to

how much each state could take from the nile every year but the struggle was again intensified when in 2010 at the height of the arab spring ethiopia announced the grand ethiopian renaissance down project. the dam is 70 percent complete and the argument is now centered not on construction but on how much water will be diverted to fill the dam at the moment. to sort or on i hope the diplomatic efforts would lead to some flexibility from the ethiopian side because egypt is not asking to stop the dams construction but rather to slow down its construction which might be too late now because it is believed that a major part of the dam is already constructed but we could think about the way the dam will be operated and how the lake will be filled last month ethiopia's prime minister ahmed was awarded the nobel peace prize for his efforts in ending the war with eritrea a few weeks later he told his parliament ethiopia could mobilize millions in

a conflict with egypt but insisted only negotiation could break the deadlock the d.c. talks are a major breakthrough because in the past ethiopia head vigorously oppose calls by egypt and sudan for 3rd party mediation president trump has assigned his treasury secretary steve to host the talks and apparently curious decision to bypass state department which would traditionally handle such negotiations but the inclusion at the meeting of world bank president david marr pass a clear signal that the trump administration sees economic leverage not diplomatic talk as the key to agreement. well we are not expecting any news conference after the meeting in fact to being told expressly that they will not be this is likely to be only the 1st in what may be a series of negotiations between the 3 countries we are told that what we can

expect at best is a written statement at the end of the discussions in the course of the day but as i pointed out there's a momentous event in an extent given the fact that these countries have not been able to talk in recent months and given the fact that they have agreed to do so in d.c. at foreign minister level al-jazeera is mike hanna reporting from washington many thanks mike this is the news hour from up 0 still to come on the program a win for the climate activist group extinction rebellion we'll tell you why more protests like this could be seen in the future. iran starts the process of activating its you really radium enrichment facility despite warnings and concern from the u.s. and e.u. . and in sport iraq forced to find a neutral venue for the world cup qualifiers due to the worsening security situation of.

britain's parliament has been dissolved and campaigning has begun for the country's 2nd general election since 2016 brigs at referendum for more on that let's join maryam namazie at our europe road cast centenary i'm. that's right adrian wednesday is going to start have 5 weeks of intense political campaigning and of the case not general election with the option to take control of breaks it examines votes is likely to be one of the most hard force in recent memory and following all these developments for us paul brennan so what is this election going to be about bret's it alone not just about it although bracks it is probably the predominant issue that's going to be campaigned upon not least because the 2 main parties labor and the conservatives have very different versions of what they would like to see bricks it achieve and the other thing is that labor has promised another referendum if they can even if they can renegotiate to deal with the european union but there

are going to be many many other issues that are contested on the doorstep today for example we've seen a big push on public spending the green party launched its campaign pledging the equivalent of nearly $120000000000.00 worth of green initiatives which they will fund with predominant 90 percent of public borrowing in the rest through tax labor is saying that only it can be trusted to look after the public services labor traditionally a left of center in fact on the jericho been frankly a socialist party and the conservatives saying that their vision of how public services should be funded is on the basis of a strong free market economy so they're pushing in the same direction but they both almost all the parties have very different ideas of how exactly to get there and so brooks it is just one of many many issues that will be battled over and contested over the next 5 weeks as you say it's going to be a key issue but there are other things that people care about as well particularly

the n.h.s. health care and the economy one of the polls showing right now about the positions of the various parties and where they stand going into this election the conservatives are certainly had boris johnson is a strong contender and it seems that the conservatives. the prober exit message is winning votes so is winning prospective votes even in for example labor heartlands what will be interesting will be to see the impact of the bracks it party under nigel farage you'll remember nigel farage former member of the european parliament founded the ukip party which was such a thorn in the side of the conservatives under david cameron now he's left ukip and he's formed his own bracks it party which is threatening to challenge against the conservatives because they believe that the conservatives aren't offering a pure enough brecht's it for the people so there are it's not just 2 main parties and that's what's so intriguing about this election battle the greens will have

a say the liberal democrats are resurgent and the brics a party could provide. a real challenge to both labor and the conservatives on that specific issue and i suppose that's the problem isn't it that it's not just going to be a 2 horse race between the traditional 2 parties that is this fragmentation of the political landscape which means it would get to end up with another with a hung parliament and this doesn't get resolved it's certainly possible i mean the other thing to consider today as well is the stuttering faltering start of the conservatives a had now election isn't won in the 1st 24 hours but they've lost the welsh secretary the cabinet minister for wales who's had to resign after apparently lying over his knowledge of a particular court case they've also been facing strong criticism about senior conservatives comments controversial comments about the ground fell fire it's been a really stuttering starts or a faltering start for the conservatives and they will hope to find their groove over the next 5 weeks at the same time as all the other parties are also pushing to

become strong in time for december 12th thank you very much paul brennan following this story for us. all now in other news environmental groups who launched mass protests in london last month have won a court battle with u.k. police a ban on the extension rebellion demonstrations has been deemed illegal and the group's members should not have been arrested she has won this now from central london. a victory for freedom and democracy that's how environmental activist described wednesday's decision by u.k. courts to police ban on their protests was illegal the case was brought by lawyers acting for extinction rebellion a movement of climate change activists behind the so-called autumn uprising a series of protests held across london last month demonstrators have blocked roads and entrances to several key sites and buildings including parliament square the bank of england and london city airports the police made $1828.00 arrests

and charged $165.00 people the protests cost an estimated $30000000.00 to police a decision was made to ban all extinction rebellion protests across london with the police citing sections 14 of the public order act as justification it's gives you authority as the right to prohibits public assemblies if they believe they may result in serious public disorder or serious damage to property or the life of the community early chalons a member of the european parliament for the green party was herself arrested during the police crackdown today's ruling is incredibly significant actually and it will have a big impact it's significant because it's about defending the right to public assembly and protest and those rights are fundamental to a functioning democracy the ruling by the high courts not only means that environmental activists can hold similar protests again this time potentially during the current election campaign it's also paves the way for those who were

arrested to sue the police for compensation several 100 of them. activists who were arrested under this ban will now. have the charges against them drops and if they don't have other charges against them they'll be able to sue the police for false imprisonment and they have the right to compensation the police can appeal against the decision but extinction rebellions lawyers say they are ready to continue to fight the extinction rebellion movement said that their protests were designed to raise awareness about the urgent need for action to save the planet today's ruling means that not only can they continue their protests but it's also given their message more probably city. london will have more from london for you a bit later on the news hour now back to adrian and. mary many thanks now iran is taking further steps away from the 2050 nuclear deal and will soon start to activate its you raney and richmond facility to iran is expected to start pumping

uranium gas into centrifuges at an underground area near the city of qom the u.s. has called the move a big step in the wrong direction of the e.u. says its concerned let's go live now to run of zeroes towards a door such a body is this what exactly is it also that iran is going to start doing. well as of midnight local time that's in about 2 hours time here the rain in atomic energy organization has said that they will restart over a 1000 centrifuges at the forego nuclear facility now this facility under the 2 $1015.00 nuclear deal became a research facility so it was no longer and rich in uranium now this is the one of 2 facilities inside the country that is able to enrich uranium and it's the only one that has the capacity to enrich the 20 percent uranium that iran has done in the past so it's a very very important facility the iranians have said that because the european

signatories that the left in the 2050 nuclear india are not upholding their end of the bargain they are scaling back their commitments to this deal step by step since the united states withdrew from the deal last year and this is the 4th step that iran has announced they waning president announced on tuesday that iran will take as of midnight tonight. as well here to move the 20 percent enriched uranium the kind of material you can make a bomb out so why is the wrong doing this. well there are a few reasons 1st iran in which is its uranium because it fuels its other reactors and also there have they have another reactor that produces electricity that's why they say they need enrich uranium 1st then they say that they needed at a certain level because they want to advance a country's program nuclear program but the 20 percent that they reached in 2011

when it was announced by then president mahmoud ahmadinejad was to prove that they can advance their nuclear program on their own despite all the international sanctions the iranians have said that all their developments are for medical and research purposes for now the iranians are doing this specific move this forward oh facility will be enriching at 5 percent for now president hassan rouhani has said they will decide what to do next but for now it will enrich at 5 percent this 5 percent will be used to fuel the teheran research reactor 4 and that reactor is used for medical research purposes but the main political reason they're doing this at this moment is to put more pressure on the european signatories that's france britain germany that are left in the 2015 nuclear deal al-jazeera still security reporting live from teheran the door so many thanks indeed the person stand to enrich uranium is not exactly easy as sound as it was laura bush explained. iran is moving away from the 2015 nuclear deal and further enriching uranium now

let's take a look at just how this is done you radium is a mind metal that contains 2 isotopes 99.3 percent is uranium $23.00 eights and the rest uranium 235 and it's that much smaller isotope the can release enough energy to fuel a nuclear reactor or a bomb but for that it needs to be enrich and this is done in centrifuges that spin the element 4 senior iranian 235 into the center but that's time consuming and difficult but it becomes easier as the uranium is further refined now before the nuclear deal came into effect iran has a return uranium at 20 percent now it's 5 percent which is the nothing for the moment to meet its nuclear fuel needs but it would need between 85 and 90

percent to make a nuclear weapon it's also using more advanced i asked 6 centrifuges to enrich uranium faster now the country's leaders say the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes look at a weather update next here on that is out there and find out why france is changing its immigration rules had its 2022 presidential election. another damaging blow for boeing we look at the latest problems facing the aviation company. that is former bond james makes more n.b.a. history and it will be here that for the rest of the spores of a little over 15 minutes. hello again welcome back. well here across much of the levant we're going to be

to see attempted there of $34.00 degrees here on thursday dropping down to about $32.00 as we go towards friday and for durban a cloudy day at $22.00 degrees. j oh you're at the mercy of the state but in the land of the free shareholders have a stake it is this profit motive that continues to interfere with adequate health care being provided to people who are detained and incarcerated across the country salt lines investigates how the outsourcing of health care in american jails is impacting the lives and deaths of those behind bars sick inside on al-jazeera. the u.s. is a tipping points are telling us right now that we have just 12 years as the world's leaders to agree on

a solution. taking matters into their. own which is significant because it's one of the sounds that it kills people and it kills people now it's already getting both fronts with the people still on al-jazeera. it is good to have you with us hello adrian for going to here in doha with the news from 0 to 0 the headlines open hearings on the impeachment inquiry of u.s. president donald trump to begin next week with 3 key witnesses to testify until now testimony as i have been given behind closed doors. several people have been

stabbed in the city of jordan tourists are among the victims one person has been arrested iran is taking further steps away from the 2015 nuclear deal that will soon start to activate its uranium enrichment facility tehran is expected to stop pumping uranium gas into centrifuges. underground area near the city of qom. the head of the un's agency the palestinian refugees has resigned effective immediately earlier the agency announced that its commissioner general pia profitable would step aside pending the outcome of an inquiry into alleged misconduct the internal investigation found management issues that directly relates to cromwell one of the main palestinian factions hamas has expressed concern saying the. the decision comes at a sensitive time the u.n. general assembly has the liberating whether to extend the mandate of the agency for 3 years that's go live now to new york on diplomatic editor james bays is at the

united nations james management issues what's this all about well it goes back to a report that came out earlier in the year and 1st was leaked back in july an internal ethics report inside annorah which talked about a toxic atmosphere among because of the activities of the inner circle of the commission of general mr crocker and bull of those inner circle the deputy commissioner general sundra mitchell resigned in late july the chief of staff how can share one also resigned in july the senior adviser the other one mentioned in that report maria mohammadi we understand is still in her position mr krevin bull was investigated after that report by the u.n. secretary general who put his internal investigators to look at the situation they

completed that report in the last couple of weeks it was delivered to the secretary general as you're aware earlier on i was reporting that mr crandall was stepping aside temporarily well the truth is we now learned he was stepped aside he was put on administrative leave by the secretary general because of what was found by the secretary general's own investigators and subsequently having been put on administrative leave he decided to resign his post after more than 5 years in the job and after 3 months of his agency being under a great deal of scrutiny as we reported one of the main palestinian factions for masters expressed concern how damaging is this for. well it's a very difficult time for because remember that the u.s. pulled out its funding of honor last year there's a big shortfall of funds this is an agency that still deals with the needs of

ordinary palestinians in gaza and the west bank 5.5 at least a 1000000 palestinians are helped by on road with things like education in those areas and certainly the donor countries that have been giving money to unruh have been increasingly concerned in fact some of them pulled back their funding because of the allegations of mismanagement at the top of the asian sea i think very you will be hoping that now this draws a line under things and i can tell you privately there are people at the top of the u.n. here in new york and among those donor countries ambassadors who told me that they rather hoped that mr crack and bullet fall on his sword some months ago because it's led to damage and further destruction for the agency diplomatic editor james bays reporting live from the united nations james many thanks the french government

has announced tougher new immigration policies cracking down on illegal migrants and setting quotas for foreign workers for more on that let's cross back to mary in the magazine in london. that's right the french prime minister dwight philip unveiled a new package of measures on wednesday now the move is being seen as really an attempt to try to win over voters from the far right as russia has the story now from paris. after french capital meeting in paris france's prime minister edouard phillipe announced a raft of new measures aimed at tightening the country's immigration policy. we must take by control of immigration taking back control making clear choices about asylum and integration granting the right stay years actively based on our principles and goals rather than passively carried out as long as the cases. the government wants to introduce immigration quotas for workers and attempt to address

the country's skilled labor shortage in industries such as construction there are also plans to tighten rules for asylum seekers access to health care would be limited and benefits more rigorously controlled the number of asylum applications has increased in france in recent years and the government says it must crack down on those who abuse the system rights campaigners say that asylum seekers already face very difficult conditions in france many of them end up sleeping rough in makeshift camps like this one in paris and the thing is that the government's new measures will only make the situation worse. their prime minister says france's most to regain its sovereignty well before contra wants to be more southern which will start by getting rid of these undignified camps in our cities then we can talk about sovereignty and humanity. halfway through his presidential term emanuel macro is taking a tougher line on immigration but it's

a gamble he may succeed in wooing voters away from his main political opponents the far right and stem the rise of what he calls dangerous populism but he also risks alienating some so. portaloos you say that he's failing to up hold fronts as humanitarian values the sasha butler i'll just 0 paris or julia or ghana is a senior analyst on the e.u. migration and asylum policy of the open society european policy institute joins us live now from lynn so a tougher line on immigration particularly illegal immigration from the government of emanuel they want to fix specific quotas what are your initial thoughts on the impact this plan is likely to have. well as you said i mean the plan was initially thought up as a way to alley citizens alleged concerns about migration and woo voters back from the far right the actual impact will be terrible for the population which is most affected which is asylum seekers who will lose their access to universal health

care for the 1st 3 months after the reach france but it will also have other sort of more negative consequences the main one being of course that it in my eyes is as your reporter was saying the language and actions and policies of the far right i very much doubt it will succeed in the sense that it's normally what happens and we've seen that in denmark you see there in italy we've seen that in spain when mainstream parties try to parrot the far right voters still choose the original and they also risk switching to parties on the on the other extreme as well to to move to the left and in terms of the population as item seekers the impact will be terrible as i said it makes no sense from a public health perspective to stop these items seekers who may need primary care from accessing it and it could also lead to treatable diseases going untreated to children not being vaccinated to pregnant women not having the prenatal care they

need so it makes very little sense and it also makes very little sense because the population we're talking about is very very small despite all the for and talk about gaining control and so on france had $110000.00 asylum applications last year of which about 16000 were from the nationalities which are being targeted and georgia so we're talking 16000 people on a population in france of 67000000 that's hardly a crisis and i'm just curious is war and its emergency measures of course they are part of the plan is to encourage legal economic immigration they're saying that they want to fix specific quotas depending on the country's economic needs a similar to the approach that we have seen in places like alabama and australia does that make sense to you. it would make sense except for fact the prime minister the french prime minister said today that the overall numbers of people coming to france wouldn't change so we're talking about $30000.00 a year for illegal migrants so that really doesn't respond to employers demands for

labor and the prime minister also said that it mainly target the highly skilled now the problem is that france's economy like most major european and western economies actually mostly needs low or medium skilled labor is not highly skilled workers so it's not an effective response to an actual need from the labor market which again is is is pure rhetoric and it's tries to balance the more sort of right wing elements of the plan by you know reaching out to mainstream voters but it won't work and on that point when you say it doesn't work it is trying to obviously reassure some voters and to stop the populous gaining ground to what extent might alienate liberal and left of center supporters and voters. yes well as i said i mean that's what the social democrats tried to do in their mark in the they failed miserably. and they lost voters to the left wing parties the voters who are more progressive and they didn't succeed in wooing voters back from the far right

which is still pretty strong and denmark and italy something even more extreme happen which is that the center left democratic party tried to move voters away from the far right leader of the league party so really and what that resulted in was that the media still won and harsh laws were ruled out were rolled out and the left lost power so there is a track record of these measures failing and we've seen that happening all across europe yet mainstream politicians still seem to think that knee jerk reaction is what they should be doing despite voters not actually being concerned about these issues i mean micron's policies of being rolled out in response to the yellow vest protests and if you actually talk to us protestors what they're concerned about it's other things job situation it's fuel prices it's a range of social issues and not migration well thank you for putting it into context for us julia ghana joining us there from berlin a major european airline has become the latest to ground several boeing 737 energy
