a desperate task of searching for the dead. and the u.s. state department says the government has reached no final conclusions on the murder of jamal khashoggi that's after media reports that the cia believes crown prince mohamed bin solomon gave the order for the journalists murder. thanks for joining us i'm marrying evans dean. french president tomorrow mccrone is facing a backlash against his economic policies nearly three hundred thousand people took to the streets nationwide wearing the yellow vests that have come to symbolize public discontent over government tax hikes on fuel police clashed with protesters right outside the presidential palace approval ratings for president micron have slumped reflecting mounting dissatisfaction with his government's economic program

. a sit down strike in traffic it doesn't take much to shut things down one side is content the other isn't more than two hundred eighty thousand people took part in the grassroots movement called yellow vests across the country they also blocked toll booths or drove at a snail's pace on highways they're protesting about the increased taxes placed on fuel and basically about the reduction in their buying power while called it's getting more and more expensive to fill up will soon be a two year as a leader that's horrible is what he treats us like cattle he's always pushing more taxes on us soon we won't have anything. and this is the woman who started things off with a video which really touched a lot of people six million of them. and i represent those who need their car every day and those who practically live in it as well as those farmers who put in a seventy hour week in. this grassroots movement began on social media which gave

people a forum to express their displeasure with things despite that president mccall wants to continue on his economic course on a french aircraft carrier he showed understanding for citizens and also conceded making mistakes anybody who says i didn't succeed in convincing the french about my policy. today's protests certainly prove that yellow is the color of the day and might even be the one for to morrow the yellow vests say they will carry on. and let's get more from correspondent and elizabeth who joins us now from paris so analysts but it seems pretty clear that these demonstration that these demonstrators rather aren't just angry about fuel with many of them calling for president mccrone to resign but do these protests pose a real threat to macross leadership. well there are not good for him and he has not been doing so well in the past month his numbers are in the tank he pulls twenty

six percent favorable opinions and possibly will be worse tomorrow you had almost three hundred thousand people demonstrating all over france and completely decentralized movement and fuel prices were really the last trigger people feel that they're all to francis that france of winners that president mark or likes people who live in large cities and have jobs in a lot of companies or high tech companies or a good sort of other. things and then you've got people in the provinces and small towns and employment is more pregnant it's difficult to leave those places because you can't afford to move somewhere else there's a decline in public services which means that it's more difficult and one of the reasons why so many people were complaining about fuel prices is that in many parts of france now if you do not have a car you can't go to work that lots of small train lines have been canceled that is part of the general menez of the part of the population that feels that it's

being ignored. all right what can micron off her any type of compromise to satisfy the protesters. she has already offered. a system whereby people under a certain income would get subsidies to do feel the tax basically. he's also offered a system whereby if you sell you a diesel call and you blame the girl you get fulfilled in europe which is not. it's technocratic mino you could be useful but i think that's not what people want to hear people would like lots of things to change. the they feel that this government is not going about it in a way that takes their own concerns into account and elizabeth montagne reporting from prayer a sunny thanks to california now and the death toll from the deadliest fires ever to hit the u.s.

state has risen to seventy one with more than one thousand people reported missing president donald trump has arrived in northern california to survey the damage he's met the mayor of the worst hit town paradise and toured the devastation the vast majority of the victims of the california fires came from that town before leaving washington trump praised the work of firefighters but once again blamed the disaster on what he said was california's poor forest management critics say he's playing politics as the fires continue to burn with devastating consequences for californians with the fire comes a new danger smoke and it has reached san francisco where air pollution levels now rank among the highest in the world health warnings prompted widespread school closings even the city's main to us attractions was shut.

the smoke's are jenna some three hundred kilometers to the north the town of paradise has been reduced to ashes it's the epicenter of california's deadliest ever wildfire and the death toll is likely to rise. search and rescue workers are trying to find any sort of remains that could help identify those missing. where you've fuel terrible for these people it's been devastating for the play i couldn't imagine coming back here this is my home. your whole proof that we if there are missing people we can find them and bring some closure to people that need that. those affected are in desperate need of assistance some hope denounce a visit by u.s. president donald trump will increase attention to their plight. we're going to president bring to congress we're going to take a look at the. partridge and more employees are still going no time to relax if you

want to understand what we're going through out here you got to be here that it's not something you can just see on t.v. you know others us get to kill off the president's intentions. i think is just showboating come in and try to take credit for his insulted to firefighters. police the military handicap women. the campfires only one of several blazes still ravaging the state scientists believe the growing frequency and intensity of such wildfires is due to a prolonged drought which is symptomatic of climate change. a short time ago i spoke to journalist mike de walt who's been covering president trump's trip to california i began by asking him what the people who've been affected by the wildfires wanted to hear from trump. i think residents in this area really want to hear. at the from president trump and just that their story is being heard the

people in this area have gone through so much over the past weeks and. as you heard from some of the people there it doesn't do justice to see the clips on t.v. or to see photos to actually be on the ground and experience just what this devastation looks like i think more than anything else that politics aside people want to know that that their experience is being seen across the nation and that that help is on the way. while you are in the region that's worst hit by the fire ants how are people coping with such devastation. it's really difficult and is especially now that most of the immediate fire danger is over it really begins the long process of what what's next for residents here some people returning to homes some people are returning to see their home burned

down. the entire town burnt down so it becomes what happens next. going to theme of finding the resources just trying to get back to normal as fast as possible and the others that's going to be harder to start that process. at the moment we know that it about seventy people died in the fires and yet the number of those unaccounted for has jumped to more than a thousand why's that. it really is a staggering number but the buchanan sheriff's office cautioned to not get married too much to that number that is very much a moving target based on the data they're there could be duplicated on there there could be names on there from all my what one calls ever could be people who've already been reunited that said it's still a very concerning number given population that we're dealing with in paradise over

a quarter of the population is over sixty five a lot of those seven days the seems so far their seventy's eighty's and ninety's these are people who could live alone have limited mobility be disabled and i think that's the concern going forward. that we're going to see that seventy one rise higher going forward mike wallace at the air force base near sacramento california thanks so much for your reporting. likewise the u.s. state department says the government has not yet reached a final conclusion on who ordered the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi this after a u.s. media report said the cia believed a saudi arabia's powerful crown prince mohammed bin someone personally gave the order by the state department says there are still numerous on answered questions the saudi government has denied them insomuch as involvement in the journalist death. he has consistently denied having any involvement but now mohammed bin

salomon is firmly in the spotlight of blame the washington post says the cia has concluded saudi arabia's de facto ruler is directly tied to the killing of jamal khashoggi and his briefing the u.s. government about his involvement calling him volatile and arrogant because shock she a critic of the saudi government and columnist for the washington post was killed at the saudi consulate in istanbul on october the second when he went there to pick up documents he needed for his marriage to a turkish woman. the crown prince of so far evaded direct accusations and vowed to bring the killers to justice. first of all the crime was really painful to all saudis and i believe it is painful to every human in the world it is a humorous crime that cannot be justified. but these latest developments put his position in doubt the washington post says that the cia

reached its conclusions after examining sources of intelligence including a phone call that the prince's brother had lead been selman made on mohammed bin salmond's command in the phone calls lead to the saudi ambassador to the u.s. is said to have encouraged because short she to go to the consulate with assurances he would be safe to do so the leaders vehemently denied any such claims on twitter he said i never talked to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason because shock she's visit to the consulate and in his death but the washington post says it isn't clear whether knew he would be killed the developments are likely to complicate president trump's efforts to preserve ties with his key ally trumper so far resisted pinning the blame for the killing on mohammed bin son and he might not be able to hold to that if the cia's position is that the crown prince himself ordered a murderer. some sports news now and in tennis and germany's number one xander
