we are ready return and choose a path that leads to the stability and security of the region an american trooper today is in secure and tomorrow the european soul. germy faced the same in security letter stablish security we don't want insecurity in the world we want to get out of this region of course not by war but by wisdom let's walk a path that is to the interest of the world and the region. for the warning follows a call from germany france and britain for action against iran for violating the 2015 nuclear deal president rouhani accuses e.u. nations of failing on their promises he wants them to return to the 2015 nuclear agreement and with calls for more protests at home iran's president is urging national unity demonstrators are angry after the military admitted it shot down a ukrainian plane after days of denial. is live for us in

iran so door so the call there by iran's president shows how much of a priority ejecting western forces from the region has become for iranian policy right now right. certainly it's become the main talking point here when it comes to dealing with western powers that the presence of western troops in the middle east is something iran is not going to be tolerating in the future this is all of course as a result of the assassination of the head of iran's revolutionary guards force general hossam so iranian backed that are january 3rd by the u.s. government this is something that exasperated iran u.s. relations and now the iranian president expressing very point of view that is felt across the country here on all levels of government and the establishment that the presence of foreign troops in this region is that the stabilizing factor and that must and and the iranian revolutionary guard has promised to carry out the work of

the money in trying to achieve that goal the president also has been speaking about the future and the importance of the g. c.p.o. way that is the nuclear agreement he's urging the european signatories to come back to full compliance something the iranians say they haven't been doing since the u.s. withdrew from the deal in 2013 and they gave the europeans one year period to try to figure out how to get around the u.s. sanctions to continue what this nuclear agreement was supposed to be about that is sanctions relief for iran in exchange for limiting iran's nuclear program and its advancement but since the u.s. left the europeans haven't been doing upholding their on the deal according to the iranians and in may of last year they started to scale back their commitments every 2 months the last commitment they came back from was the enrichment all enrichment activities as of january 5th to go back to the. levels of 2015 meaning there is no

longer a cap on iran's enrichment program this is what prompted the european signatories to trigger this dispute resolution mechanism they want to bring iran back to the go . hating table to try and figure out a resolution because as it stands now the future of this nuclear agreement is very much in question and with dad is the legacy that president hassan rouhani will leave behind he has lesson 2 years left in office and this nuclear deal had so much promise for hent and in this is what elected in for a 2nd term it was his platform but as it stands now with really is very much up in the air how it will move forward all right thanks so much doors or jabari violets continue this as we've just been saying rouhani is warning european powers or 2 european powers rather comes a day after they triggered the dispute mechanism against iran on the 2050 nuclear deal president donald trump paul the us out of the have agreement in 2080 mm this

scribing it as the worst deal ever negotiated he wants to her on to limit its ballistic missile program an stop supporting proxies in the region washington's demands of been out rightly rejected by ron as and infringement on its sovereignty russia and china have been lobbying to keep the deal alive in the past the u.k. france and germany of also said the want to revived the remans are sheen shar he is a senior lecturer an international relations and middle east politics at the university of bradford he joins us by skype from bradford in the united kingdom good to have you with are so we're saying a lot of talk around the nuclear deal is an attempt to try and reach common ground really coming no i don't think so at least not that this is stage and i think what happened yesterday by invoking article 6 your 'd a at the for cope with youth mccarthyism. we have seen that admission of defeat

by the world forget that over the last 2 or 3 years or 3 britain for all and i'm generally in the forefront of a black sheep farm for the progress of the more important part of the consensus maybe in the in the human ear and despite the defiant despite the resistance they're all for the united states thing from a trump our you made it very clear this fight a disagreement with the most important power in the globe they want to maintain their commitment for the deal and b. but i'm going to shame the i'm curious to know how do you make of the counter argument by those analysts who say the fact that the europeans triggered the dispute mechanism. is a sign that they want the dispute mechanism process to run its course and reach

a resolution which is what it should ultimately do and bring all parties back on the same page. of course body invoking article 36 i mean in what a massively nothing to speak on the mind or the deal because they are if you report the case being the cut to the security council which could potentially be read in the account of the un sanctions even under existing evidence in play it doesn't seem to be calmer very kamikaze broke that iran can actually come back to the negotiation table and renegotiate something with the european the us or us the rain and they have human enough by the look and power and despite the fact that we're having the patient you have not been able to basically do the anger for a cancer from the body and think that you can add something new to offer and it's

the provide then something new i very much doubt it's basically simply by invoking article 36 that something medical at the end which can call of makes the iranian to go back to their original commitment the pragmatist will say alternately this is going to need to be resolved through diplomacy is there a valid though legitimate reading of events going on in the region right now to make the case for well everything from the strikes we've seen to the iranian calls for the ejection of western troops is part of that process of trying to increase one's leveraging the table. but yes i mean i think much of the greed with the i don't think the kind of any of the parties involved at the moment they want to kind of roll collation or a possible military. confrontation but if we want to talk

about the fiore it seems actually it's between the devil and the deep blue sea went under for the us if you can get back with the they don't really talk about the fact that you know they want to. know that israel forgive me for jumping once again if that is the case if they are trying to leverage what would be the guarantee that anyone could possibly offer to iran again that the us or one of the pals wouldn't pull out of the agreement again. i mean you are absolutely right there's a huge sense of this trough the us the moment and what actually makes it possible negotiation even more difficult than the based on the rhetoric from the from the united states the united states or the interest to connor renegotiate the nuclear deal they want to give a new and defense program they want to provide a new missile program they want to bring about ukrainian foreign policy in their region and given basically their requirements and the station from the u.s.

it seems to be extremely difficult and politically costly before all the shit on the phone with the public for them to basically sit down and negotiate their defense program and negotiate their missile program as far as i'm concerned probably given the existing crisis on the part of the with in mind to talk about the various clues that if you're a or even more restrictions or even basically rethink about basically the existing framework object what's the moment you want to bring basically a new foreign policy that the moment you want to bring in a new missile program or defense program into the equation you're going to think there's some very serious impediment having said that if you look at the. report he is anytime he faced with an existential crisis very quickly they seem to be willing to make some serious and fundamental compromises and they write what is happening at the moment in iran you don't seem to we on thursday the people around you that

you know never ever been this week over the last 40 years real an internal political dynamic given that legitimacy quite so are unbelieving at the moment and the russians coming from the way that if you complete the process which you don't want to groove back to the negotiation all right well that's a longer really think overcome the foreign policy it was actually a jew i very much doubt this is a different policy from about sharon thank you so much. now cut his foreign minister has arrived in baghdad urging all sides to ease tension and respect iraqi sovereignty. and bin jasim his iraqi counterpart. this visit comes at a critical time witnessed by iraq and the region my visit aims at having talks with these excellent c. the foreign minister of iraq about how to keep iraq away from conflict tensions are

all over the place and everyone and every country have to decrease tensions that are together with some friendly countries is trying to decrease the tension we have made some contacts internationally for more consultations with our allies today we see signs of decreasing tensions and we hope these continues what. we discussed ways to decrease tension in our region we have our common efforts and allies whether it's iran or the united states our talks have been based on this relationship and we've concentrated on iraq not being seen for regional conflicts we support free navigation in the gulf and we need to go to countries to make their own decisions and supervise the freedom of maritime activities in this area our correspondent ron han is following the visit. judging by the language that both foreign ministers use the key word that kept being used was sovereignity iraq's sovereignty and this is a very crucial moment in iraq's history where people here are actually very worried

that the u.s. and iran will use this as a battleground for their fight and now many iraqis that you speak to are looking to outsiders to try and help us certainly here in the foreign ministry i was speaking to people before the press conference began and the other word that was being used was crucial this was a crucial visit for the iraqis to try and calm down tensions now remember shake to mean the rule of was actually in tehran just a few days ago he held meetings with all the key players there and now his foreign minister is in baghdad with the same message that things need to be round so it looks like qatar is getting involved it looks like cattle has a message to bring to the people of iraq in the leaders of iraq and after this visit to the foreign ministry will be meeting with the speaker of the parliament the president and the prime minister russia's foreign minister says he's increasingly concerned about tensions in the region he says gulf countries must

increase cooperation. suggesting to the gulf countries to start thinking about collective security mechanism something like oil see for europe starting with this conflict those building measures and voting each other through military exercises the talks happened hours after another attack on the iraqi air base where u.s. troops are stationed at least 2 rockets were fired the base north of baghdad no casualties were reported or any claim of responsibility. those attacks come just days after 2 other iraqi bases housing u.s. troops were hit by ballistic missiles that was in response to the assassination of iranian general hossam soleimani in a u.s. drone attack one of the bases was the last of their base i'm just here as a sailor binge of aid has been given access to the strategically important facility . it's rare to be targeted by

a ballistic missile and lived to tell the tale this is one of the 7 damaged locations inside the base currently home to around 2000 u.s. danish norwegian polish and french troops u.s. soldiers see a combination of luck and preparedness help to avoid casualties when iran's i.r.g.c. launch the missiles one left a nearly 6 metre wide crater and the shockwave knocked over blast walls each of these requires heavy equipment for installation maybe i mean we've got one of our bunkers they were used during the time we had one individual that was inside their journey attack. while he says his bible was the most precious thing he lost in the ensuing fire which destroyed his living quarters when it hit and you just feel the shock of everything that. just blew up. i was with the person with me we're basically hugging each other holding the ground. and about 10 seconds after we got out of the bunker to go check on the person down here all the time was glass jaw

was guarding one tower on the outer wall and saw the missiles coming in 07 really scared and i was worried for the other people on base of course i was i was so scared because. the sprawling 6 mile perimeter is one of the major training recognizance and air logistics bases for us that troops inside iraq and neighboring countries are thinking we would get rocketed and that rocket attack would be followed by a base incursions i would wager that if you know there was a high value target on base to hit it would definitely be our air assets. sit on target because it believes the base was used to launch the drone which killed silly money and for drone pilots such as cost and keeping those air assets off the ground was a priority as soon as they heard about the attack a few. it is before the top and we carry hellfire missiles. we do which is

intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance we launched as many aircraft as we could as we're capable. to to cover as many bases as possible try to keep people safe or at least give early warning. to all of our. other people around iraq this is what remains of the sleeping quarters of $39.00 soldiers who were stationed at this unit they say that they're here to do a job and for them it does not matter what the politicians say regarding their presence in the country. the iraqi government says after this in a money assassination coalition troops are more focused on keeping themselves safe and iraqi security forces should not have to be at the additional responsibility of protecting them in on the militias such as a new job on cafe has been law of war and that their attacks will continue until foreign troops leave iraq the coalition recognizes that iraq is a dangerous place there continue threats from isis as well as other groups. we are

ready for those threats we've taken defensive action to prepare for those threats we've paused training operations to ensure we can focus on anything that we are required to do to protect our troops and protect our regular partners from the threats of rogue militias and other terrorist gangs and yes a lopsided suspended rightists is not happening. so what are you guys doing up here . to serve us something that you have actually talked probably already should flow because one creature. senior military leaders including the secretary of defense has ruled out u.s. and coalition troops pulling out for now soldiers here remain braced for the heightened level of threat of a job without the fear a base iraq. fighting

has resumed in libya after ceasefire talks stalled the un recognized government in tripoli says forces loyal to all old favor hafter are shelling positions south of the capital moved up to the one who joins us now live from tripoli so the signs not looking too good for the cease fire mood. not at all not at all the government is calling on civilians not to turn to their homes and southern tripoli as you know that during the past few days civilians who fled their homes in southern tripoli because of the fighting they tried to take the opportunity of the deescalation that lasted for the past few days in southern tripoli and returned home so the government is banning this for the safety and meanwhile the government says that it has documented several violations by have to the forces to this seize

fire accord over the past few days including shelling at a residential areas and last night the spokesman of the military counter military offensive launched by the government the volcano of wrath operation said that they support it pro have to draw in more supposedly a united arab emirates drawn provided for have to fly in tripoli meanwhile east of tripoli in an area called to get a bully about 25 kilometers to the east on the way between tripoli and misrata through have to the militants from the city of daraa who are now the main stronghold of her house those forces and the major supporter of have to forces in the west of libya they attacked a pro-government patrol. on a checkpoint on the way between tripoli and misrata meanwhile the head of the high state council her little machete stated that the reason why i have did not

sign the peace excuse me the ceasefire called and moscow is that because he has been advised by the local allies not to sign that sees fire accord the situation remains very unstable currently and meanwhile the government says that you and the bag the prime minister face of ours has just got an invitation from the german foreign minister to attend a meeting in berlin this sunday but in all cases this is to a should be made very tense and whether or not these talks will be successful it remains to be seen. thanks so much. recap the latest efforts to end the fighting in libya last week the presidents of russia and turkey brokered it cease fire between the un recognized government of national accord and the war 3 for half the one who initially rejected the idea soon afterwards though the 2 sides met in moscow for talks to try and reach an agreement

on a permanent cease fire. signed the draft but a half star walked away russia says he needs more time to consult his allies despite the current challenges germany announced it would push forward with a peace conference next week it sent invitations to 12 heads of state the united nations as well as raj and huffed our. marty is general director at the institute he joins us by skype from london good to have you with us so 1st of all with the fighting we're seeing around the capital is this the end of the seas far so it is the end of this it's one of the. really only points in the already. as well that this is for most of. what i actually think that those factors were never really considered major factors here and around. the world is the. those

local factions that are fighting on behalf of both sides but also how do you like them a little bit how do you make you feel like he really has. when if we only look at the last few days massive massive shipments into eastern libya from up above in from those that support all of the u.a.e. . that 'd may have to. consider it is not and that will continue to look at that so hang on and this it sounds like you're saying that basically half there had no intention of of a real scenes fire it was just an opportunity to rearm. so look what you did to rearm certainly not what you think of the consideration now that the strategy that he now needs quite a lot of we look at given that it's been 9 months of the conflict that he thought was that if you found that there's been this turkish assistance to the government tripoli and that adds a layer of complexity to the way that he wants so this is going on as well if this is not an attempt to try and strengthen one's negotiating position ahead of the

berlin conference well i certainly think that you know that the fact there isn't a simple i think there are a very very different measures and your sticks for what it will really be progress in libya the 1st and and most glaring obvious one is that an arms embargo that has been violated over the last one months many many years before would really kind of take away the military means to continue this war and then that would be a better pretext to begin talks in berlin but if you allow for the proper it's a stock macedonian issue so really our regular supply lines to prove you drones on line haven't you you know. given the superiority throughout the last 9 months if you are allowed to do all those things then how will you approach it's only going to be to achieve the same objectives that he's for him to achieve on the ground through military means which is to take over the government and all of the economic and political institutions in tripoli so it's almost going to be a you know always have strong arming up in in berlin by other means or by other

ways but i can't i can't really see what about the russian role here and as russia is backing have to us forces while also hosting that meeting in moscow what is the russian angle then on this. well the russians destructible as if i'm going to be very honest i'm very very good at this is russia was sort of vital and was so necessary to have to encourage all of the tripoli then walking away from moscow in a way that would certainly end that he certainly believes that he can still continue his war efforts on tripoli and the war in libya without russia so i don't know if that started as but really critical components well perhaps there's a person as the. he needs to have diplomatic efforts that will paralyze the u.n. security council from centrally in condemning him or criticizing him and if he doesn't get that from russia he's getting that from france where last minute he's been getting the russian most of the support on the ground in tripoli for the last 4 months that he's had general read and sort of these mercenaries for the last 5

months 6 months that he's also had the air force from the u.a.e. and from egypt that have been doing his bidding over the last 5 years of the last months of tripoli so you can live with that watch and support but he can't live without. egyptian military and and brought to us also that those things are critical if we talk at those things we will be distracted by much as well all right we'll leave it there thanks so much ana so good marty to another cease fire under pressure and activists in syria say as strikes have killed at least 13 people in and around the last rebel held province of idlib bro a truce was brokered by turkey and russia they came into effect on sunday the syrian army has also opened so-called humanitarian corridors to allow thousands of trapped people to flee into government held territory. all right stand to catch up with all the weather now that's right we're going to start here in pakistan of course we have seen the very deadly snowfall that we have seen over the last couple of days across much of that area normally winter storms that

come into pakistan come in from the northwest across the caspian and then down and then normally a little bit drier which is not uncommon to have quite a bit of snow across this region this particular storm though did come out of the western us he's made the eastern part of the mediterranean now with this it also had a chance to build a blot of moisture into the storm before it dumped it across much of the higher train the storm crossed across parts of the levant and as a did a proto lot more moisture up from the parts of the arabian sea as well in terms of the snowfall across the region well of course we're talking about some one meter 2 meters in some locations very wet very heavy snow across that area the big problem of the next few days is going to be those temperatures now we're not talking any more snow across the area but we are talking temperatures that are below average for this time of year as you can see today quite a only seen 2 degrees normally we would see about $10.00 to $11.00 degrees as a normal high here but in fortune of the next few days the forecast looks like this

normally 11 degrees is the forecast high amount bind is 3 as the forecasted low but as you can see overnight lows going all the way down to minus 12 to minus 11 so very cold there will be watching the scenario very carefully sammy over the next few days back to you all right thanks so much kevin still ahead on al-jazeera the u.s. and china set to ease their ongoing trade war the question of what's been agreed what's the result. if it's the night shift you know they'd be too as well to take. gratian falls is accused of attacking refugees and migrants pulled over. in sports or reversal of fortune for the team he is the 2nd in the highest and it involves his. i am when live in

you're watching al-jazeera time to recap our headlines now iran's president is warning u.s. troops and all other foreign forces to leave the middle east as some ranis are also calling on the u.s. to reverse its withdrawal from the 2015 iran nuclear deal. cutter's foreign minister is in baghdad urging more sides to ease tensions it's called came hours after another rocket attack on iraq the air base where u.s. troops are stationed. tobruk based government aligned with libyan warlord khalifa haftar says a ceasefire with the internationally recognized government tripoli is over fighting

has broken out in the south of the capital. in the coming hours the u.s. house of representatives will vote to hand over impeachment charges to the senate where president donald trump's trial will take place jew state democrats released new evidence adding context to the charges that trump pressured ukraine to investigate democratic rival joe biden mike hanna reports from washington. the house speaker nancy pelosi has guided the impeachment process to this point but after the house vote it will move to the senate where majority leader mitch mcconnell will effectively take control he's adamant the democratic majority in the house has failed to prove the case and argues it's not up to the senate to do so the constitution gives the sole power of impeachment to the out if i ask majority wants to impeach a president the ball is and their court but they have to do the work

to prove their coach nothing nothing in our history or our constitution says a house majority can pass what amounts to a. censure resolution. and then and search for the senate bill on the block but senate rules mean mcconnell might not actually have the final say the procedure of the trial is decided by a simple majority and republican senators are under increasing pressure to break ranks and join democratic party members in seeking a full trial with witnesses all it needs is for republicans to do so to decide whether the president merits acquittal or removal from office the senate must conduct a fair trial a fair trial has witnesses a fair trial has relevant documents as a part of the record a fair trial seeks the truth no more no less. and new evidence has been provided by this man live upon us he been indicted on

a number of campaign finance charges and is now complied with a subpoena to hand over information connected to the ukraine investigation he was a close associate of president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani and has provided documents that allegedly detailed giuliani's attempts to elicit information from ukraine to use against former vice president joe biden this is a matter that lies at the heart of the move to impeach the president the new untested evidence will be turned over to the senate along with the articles of impeachment republican senators have really been under pressure to hear evidence from former national security adviser john bolton who announced earlier he would comply with the senate subpoena to appear the question is whether a minimum of 4 republicans will join democratic party members in defying the senate leader and the white house in demanding this new evidence be heard mike hanna

al-jazeera washington. let's take you live now to the white house where kimberly how is standing by kimberly how things lining up. yeah what things are looking like right now and just to really make this simple is that we're watching carefully in that lower chamber of the house of representatives to see what nancy pelosi does essentially expect her in just a little more than an hour to to name what are known as the managers of the impeachment managers of this trial essentially what they are is when this finally moves up to the senate these managers will be like the prosecutors arguing the case of the president's criminal or alleged criminal wrongdoing now the other thing that we're watching very carefully is that nancy pelosi will be holding a vote in the house of representatives again the lower chamber where centrally it will be a vote to move those articles of impeachment as well as fund what is essentially

a senate trial now we're also watching very carefully the aperture of the senate where this is expected to happen probably on tuesday where there's going to be a kicking off of the rules will see the senators sworn in they will be like the jury in all of this it kind of sounds dry kind of a little boring here's where the drama comes in mike hanna touched on this in his report but essentially there's a fight going on right now over the witnesses in this trial democrats are arguing that they need to hear from some key members that would have insight from the trumpet ministration whether or not the president really abused just presidential powers to dig up dirt on his rival democratic former vice president joe biden. is sort of the drama in all of this is that republicans are saying hey democrats if you get your witnesses we want reciprocity we want some witnesses to guess who they want to call vice president former vice president joe biden son hunter biden and why did he have his son sitting on

a board of an energy company inside ukraine so that's where the drama comes in although it's going to seem a little bit rigid at times as they work through this process but in the end what this trial will ultimately decide is whether or not the president committed wrongdoing whether he should be removed from office. all right kimberly halkett there thanks for that donald trump set to sign what's being described as phase one of a deal to end the trade war with china global growth been affected by the world's 2 largest economies imposing trade tariffs on each other for the past 2 years some tariffs are expected to stay until agreements reached for phase 2 of their reconciliation catrina you reports from beijing. 2 years chinese exporters have been hoping for a trade deal with the united states this week chinese negotiators are in washington to sign one the so-called phase one deal suspends additional u.s. tarps on nearly 160000000000 dollars worth of chinese goods the agreement also

seeks to expand u.s. access to chinese markets strengthen intellectual property protection and marilee u.s. trade deficit with china according to washington beijing has promised to almost double u.s. imports to china over the next 2 years increasing purchases of agricultural energy and manufactured goods by $200000000000.00 the chinese analysts say that figure is unrealistic if china does come into $200000000000.00 and that means china is making big compromise but it also means that in later stage the enforcement can be a very difficult thing to do. u.s. president don't trump says the agreement includes china buying $40000000000.00 worth of american farm goods but the chinese government says it won't raise its quotas on grain imports to meet u.s. demands beijing is reluctant to divert trade from europe and south america and has so far remained silent on how far it's prepared to commit itself by signing this

agreement beijing is treading a fine line between preserving relations of washington and not wanting to appear weak china's leaders to this is an opportunity to set aside tension to the u.s. but now focused on the slowing economy and toppling obviously and officials here expect more far reaching trade talks the last thing. a face to deal has been planned but there are other sticking points including beijing's plan to dominate global high tech industries under its made in china 2025 initiative growing anti china sentiment ahead of the elections in the u.s. may also include any upcoming negotiations we also took the toughest ever actually china. was we just received a breakthrough it's just really hard to predict where the next move is on but one thing we can be certain is that the trade relation will get worse over time since the competition between the 2 countries or will persist. for now many chinese

manufacturers for probably feeling relieved over the deal may not be a long term solution it does deliver enough for some optimism to leave al-jazeera aging. let's bring in some breaking news out of russia's state news agency says the government is set to resign prime minister dmitry medvedev has handed in his resignation it follows president putin states the nation address which you promised constitutional reform bring you more details as we get about 40000 people have been forced to leave their homes in the philippines as the volcano spews ash and lover into the air several new cracks of opened in the ground there by scientists say a bigger eruption could be on its way they want the area completely evacuated from a bride is near the volcano in but i guess province he says the government may soon adopt stricter measures to get people to leave. a lot of anxious eyes now cast

towards the whole volcano to see what it might do next tens of thousands of people from around the lake here have a left or they are seeking sanctuary in evacuation centers but the government has a set of potential danger zone of some 14 kilometers radius which is a big area all around this lake where some half a 1000000 people are located urging them all to leave and as they do so it does seem as though this wednesday afternoon the government may be taking tougher measures to try to force people to move away from here this wednesday afternoon they have suddenly the city and also the toll roads and department given an order that all the hotels the restaurants guest houses around this lake be closed down everyone should move out that is why we are here we have had to leave like everybody else we're now at a roadside further around the lake and the dust that you see around us is not and i

think that has come from usually from the volcano but this is all of the action just that was spread on sunday on monday across a huge area of the island of luzon which still obviously hasn't been cleared with the traffic and as the winds whip up during the day it all the once war starts circulating people have been looking at the volcano looking at the plumes of smoke and ash which have been getting less it has to be said of the last day or so but the vulcanologist here the experts vulcanologist we've been visiting have been telling us that the other readings do seem to indicate that it's still a big eruption could well be imminent things like the amount of sulfur in the air the intensity and the preconceived of some of these tremors and earthquakes i mean this that to heart still remains potentially very dangerous. in pakistan winter storms have killed more than 100 people rescue workers are battling harsh

their it's even more pronounced. does the report calls for common action but in reality was seeing multi-lateralism waning can call been ill be met is there still hope. so i think. the report at the world economic forum we use that to to paint a radar screen for decision makers and the population at large around what we should look out for in the global landscape and so this year it really is a message of a riskier world the pup ability of risks is just so much hype and we talk about an unsettled world and so this is a drift from a cooperation to competition from consensus to confrontation is a huge drag indeed on our ability to tackle some of these very complicated risks.

of course environment related risks are one of them. i wonder what you think about this. maybe the market can fill the. void left by a lack of common policy making can the mounting pressure on companies that is the regulator push the world towards a more shall we say so we say better practices for the environment. so we have a whole chapter on the the challenge of us really stepping up to to the to the climate climate challenge both in terms of mitigation and adaptation and so it's a mix of course 21000 was a big wake up call in the global public consciousness we've we've seen this. youth led movement around climate change but we are also seeing as you seem to indicate

we are seeing a commotion in the private sector if you will in the financial services industry among the investors' community but we're also seeing. motion in movement also in the political community were for example the incoming president of the european commission or we see it also in among certain municipal leaders for example really stepping up to the challenge so i think the message here is that these risks are viewed as a priority or risk to be tackled and i think we are entering a decade that is really really crucial obviously those who follow those climate negotiations know this is a critical year also for for these are the formal negotiations around the national determent contributions which are so far falling short of what what needs to be done to really reduce the threat of climate change thanks so much minute to say

been in croatia and the prime minister has spent every news conference stressing how committed his country is to border enforcement he always glosses over questions about police brutality from a legal perspective is at the borders is never acceptable it's acceptable to which it is illegal isn't it illegal yes a nice of course acceptable for a country to protect its borders to monitor and to prevent people from coming in in accordance with international standards but it is not acceptable to use violence the apparent tolerance of police violence towards asylum seekers here is the starkest illustration of how the e.u. now regards security as the only game in town migration flows are not what they were a few years ago but nor human rights slee al-jazeera on the croatian told. by let's bring you some more breaking news coming in the resignation of the government in russia let's bring in alexandra god fry joins us live from moscow what can you
