this week. this is "life from paris." thanks very much for being with us. we will begin in the middle east . the contentious metal detectors at one of jerusalem's holy sites are gone, but some of the officials who run the al-aqsa mosque have been refusing to go inside this tuesday, saying they object to the security cameras due to be installed in their place. those metal detectors have been brought in earlier this month after a deadly shooting at the site that is known to jews as temple mount and to muslims as hell are must reads -- as halam al sharif. let's bring in our jerusalem

correspondent. can you tell us what the situation is at the mosque compound right now? what we have seen is, although israel has removed the offensive metal detectors and the cameras it had put up, worshipers at the midday prayers -- they are still being held in the street. one of the most prominent mosque officials who has been in charge of this protest told them not to go in until later in the day. no one is to go in. if you ask people why they do not go in when the aim has been met, they say the announcement the newew technology, thermal cameras which will see right through you -- they do not want that. is that newresting technology is still six months and 25 million euro away. yetas not been implemented

and will not be in the same place. it will be close to the gates of the old city. it is a sign of how long or how hard it is to convince a group of people -- people in a group of any kind, but especially these heated up worshipers, who have been so intent on this issue -- it is very hard to persuade them they have actually worn. -- actually won. catherine: friday prayers have been the big flashpoint of tensions. that is still a couple of days away, but what situation might need looking at, come friday? irris: it is significant that the mosque officials, who say they reject any technological changes -- they want things as they were -- say they are sending a committee in this afternoon, to review the situation in the mosque. if they find it as it was and it appears to be as it was, according to israeli reports -- we will see that over the next few days there will still be

groups of worshipers, but slowly, people will return to where they should be praying, where they ideally wanted to pray, which is inside the mosque itself. once we see that, i think friday prayers should be -- it should not be a flashpoint as it was last friday. but if something happens in the meantime and that process does not go smoothly over the next few days, friday prayers could still be dangerous, so we have to wait and see. for a much.hanks our correspondent there in jerusalem. back here in france, the president is weighing and to -- weighing into the ongoing turmoil in libya. macron met with the main players at a chateau outside paris. his stated aim is to try to contribute to an end to the libyan crisis. one of the man is the head of libya's united nations-backed government. the other is the head of a self-styled national army, a man

credited with driving the islamic state group out of parts of the libyan territory. we will hear more about the men being brought together as the country struggles with people trafficking and islamic militancy. irris: -- reporter: he has emerged as libya's military strongman. this month, he announced the liberation of benghazi, which had been overrun by jihadists for three years. >> the city of benghazi has been freed from terrorism. the liberation is total. reporter: he is the commander of the self-styled libyan national army. he served under the late dictator muammar gaddafi, and was part of the coup that brought him down in 2011. his forces have gained ground with the backing of egypt and the united arab emirates. france sees him as the main bulwark against the jihadist threat in libya, and has provided intelligence support to him. however, he backs a government

in the east and does not recognize the u.n.-backed government in the capital, tripoli. that leader lays out a new political roadmap for the country, including the scheduling of presidential and parliamentary elections in march next year. say he lacks consolidated support within libya. his government of national accord has been struggling to assert its accord since it began work in tripoli in march last year. the men last met in may in abu dhabi, with no result. catherine: this meeting is due to get going in a couple of hours here in paris. we will bring you the latest updates as we get them. atlantic, one grilling down and another to go for trump's son-in-law, jared kushner. he told the senate intelligence committee on monday he played no part in alleged attempts by russia to meddle in the election last year. today, he will face

investigators from the house of representatives. alexander hirst has more details. while donald's son-in-law acknowledges he may have had for interactions with russian representatives, he says none of them came close to collusion. that is the testimony he resented him two hours to the senate intelligence committee on monday. i did not collude with russia, nor do i know anyone else in the campaign who did so. i had no improper contacts. i have not relied on russian funds for my businesses. and i have been fully transparent in providing all requested information. alexander: among the meetings that kushner admits to having, several were initially left out of his official disclosure forms. in november, he met with russian ambassador sergey i. kislyak, first reported by "the washington post." days later, he met with the

owner of unesco bank -- unescom bank, subject to u.s. government sanctions. he later met with an attorney, in which emails claim he tried to receive damaging information from the russian government about hillary clinton. he said he was unaware of the purpose behind the meeting when he arrived at it. he will appear before a house of representatives committee to answer more questions on tuesday. warmer trump campaign manager paul manafort and donald trump jr. are also expected to testify before congress this week. catherine: as jared kushner likelyawmakers, it is the united states will impose new sanctions on russia, along with iran and north korea. this holds the potential to complicate president trump's improve washington's

relations with moscow. the aim of these measures is to punish russia for annexing crimea in 2014, as well as allegedly tampering with last year's presidential election. numbers of the house of representatives are expected to vote overwhelmingly in favor aser this tuesday, washington correspondent philip krauser explains. ilip: the vote in the u.s. house of representatives could happen as early as this tuesday. a bill could land in the white house shortly thereafter. the president then has two choices. one is to sign the bill. the second is to veto it. right now the most likely outcome is a presidential signature, albeit a very reluctant one. the sanctions bill would curtail the president's power to impose sanctions and to lift sanctions, and that is a power that this u.s. president does not want to lose, especially when it comes to the relationship with russia. new stations and a refusal from donald trump to stop these new

sanctions with his veto power would not sit well with the russian president, vladimir putin, and that relationship with russia is one that donald eager tol be very reinvigorate. catherine: looking to south america, with a major step in process, ifn peace unexpected one. the marxist rebel group the f arc has announced it will officially launch as a political party this coming september. a new beginning, and an end to violence from colombia's leftist rebel group. farc announced the launch of its new political party for september 1, a month after it completed its sentiment, as agreed under a deal in november last year. this is a deal obtained after more than four years of negotiations, for which the colombian president was awarded the nobel peace prize. we have disarmed to be able

to participate in politics. we were told to abandon bullets for votes. and that is what we are going to do. the agreement allows seatso have 10 unelected in congress until 2026, and grants amnesty to the majority of guerrillas. many will carry out reparation services, including the removal of landmines. the launch of the party will come a few days before a state visit to colombia by the pope, who aims to encourage the reconciliation process. despite the peace deal, farc are issue, withsive half a million killed after a century of conflict. catherine: it is named after the roman goddess of love, fertility, and beauty, but the venus satellite being prepped

for launch from french guiana has a much less sentimental mission than its name might suggest. the joint venture is due to orbit the earth to collect data that will help monitor climate change. satellite going into orbit next week is called venus -- vegetation and environment monitoring via microsatellite. it will be stationed 1720 kilometers above the earth's surface. >> this is clearly part of the battle to curb climate change. we will be able to monitor vegetation every two days, and to a precise degree. reporter: the venus satellite will generate huge numbers of photographs of 110 sites in more than 40 countries, from prairie and savanna to farmland and 40 -- and forest. it will send imagery of permafrost in siberia every 48 hours. the venus mission goals include tracking what impact human

activity is having on vegetation , providing data on climate, top hart trophy, and soil to scientists, and improving carbon cycle modeling. it is a joint venture between 's spacend israel agency. it will be launched on august 1, in french guiana. to arine: just coming up quarter past 1:00 in the afternoon. a reminder of our top stories. asjerusalem, cheers contentious metal detectors were removed from one of the city's holiest sites. however, some muslim officials continuing their protests after more than a week of tensions, and at times deadly violence. looking for a way out of the chaos in libya, the french president hosting powerful rival libyan leaders at a chateau just outside paris this tuesday. and with one grilling down,

there is another to go for donald trump's son-in-law, jared kushner, insisting he did not collude with russians to interfere in last year's u.s. presidential election. he is preparing for his second session of questioning in congress. time for a check on the latest business headlines with business editor stephen cole. we are going to start with a company whose shares we have all been watching very closely it is google's parent company, alphabet. reviewing its options and its first financial results after being fined a record 2.4 billion euros by the european commission last month. the bill resulted in alphabet learning seeing their biggest quarterly drop since 2008. shares an alphabet dropped by almost 3% in after-hours trading on monday night. but it is not define investors are worried about. martin pollard has more. a costly fews been

months for googles. company, alphabet. issued byillion fine the european commission last month helped cause the biggest drop in company earnings in nearly a decade. samewere down 28% on the period last year, 235 $5 billion, but elsewhere, result 3.5 billion dollars. but earnings per share past five dollars, which beat analyst expectations. alphabet's chief financial revenuesaid, "our demonstrate the ongoing momentum in our businesses, with broad-based strength globally." the e.u. issued the fine, the largest in its history, for alphabet unfairly promoting shopping services over competitors. some analysts think alphabet may issue an appeal. the company is reviewing its legal options.

but with e.u. investigators pursuing other antitrust cases against its advertising products and android, the company was keen to focus on areas of growth, especially on mobile .evices and youtube after that is also seeking to expand other areas of its business, like the cloud. we are looking to greece next. a bit of a market milestone for the beleaguered greek economy. successfullyce has raised funds on the market for the first time in three years. yield up bonds and a just under 4.9%. that is the interest rate on the debt. it is slightly less than the last that option that greece held in 2014. the country is still receiving funds under its bailout program, that this debt sale is seen as an important step in regaining its financial independence. from bonds to oil. the price of oil rising today after an oil producer meeting in

russia on monday. stephen: there were no major announcements that came out of that meeting of the opec cartel, along with other major oil producers. they reiterated their plan to limit oil supply in an effort to boost prices. we are seeing some reaction on the markets. , $249 -- toup 1.4% $49 a barrel, but down from $54 a month ago. some gains at midpoint of the trading day. paris up over 1%, investors focusing on the federal reserve, which begins its two-day meeting later. we move on to other business headlines. the fashion brand michael kors has agreed to by shoemaker jimmy .su -- jimmy choo the british firm put itself up for sale in april of this year. it is part of a renewal effort at michael cores, which has been struggling with falling sales at

its stores. shares in jimmy choo were up by 17%. the operator of the channel tunnel says it has yet to see any impact of brexit on its business. euro tunnel profits rose by 8% in the first half of the year. it was able to offset a small fall in traffic by an increase in prices. slowing chocolate sales in north america have hit the swiss brand lindt. partiallyl by 3%, because of delays in overhauling russell stover, which it bought in 2014. 5%,ly, profits rose by over boosted by stronger sales in the u.k. and germany. it is good i have just had a good lunch, because those chocolate pictures could make you very hungry right now. stephen: that is the idea. catherine: good luck if you are watching that. a final story, not about chocolate -- a social media uproar provoked by microsoft

when it threatened to phase out one of its vintage, best-loved products. stephen: it is "microsoft paint." the developer seemed to indicate it would stop actively developing the program in future windows updates, opening the doors to its removal. after outcry on social media, with many hilarious drawings, microsoft released a statement that "paint" would still be available for free download. earlier this year, microsoft said the original paint program had more than 100 million monthly users. not surprising it has quite the fan base in its 32-year history. catherine: i think it is the first program i ever used on windows. stephen: probably the same for me. catherine: thank you very much. withe going to move on some of the top analysis and opinions in the international press.

i am joined by someone who has been thumbing through the articles for us. you let us off with a story from the united states. jared kushner had that initial grilling with senate officials on monday. reporter: and he said "i did not collude with russia." that is what he told senate investigators. "the new york times" said his statement to the press was a clear strategy to shape the donaldve and portray trump's victory as a success of campaigning, and not russian interference. kushner is the latest member of trump's entourage to face grilling over russian meetings. "theer is different for washington post" writer, who says he plays a role of being trump's goto man, fixing problems for more than 300 million americans. yet when he is grilled about neglecting to mention things

like that he met with russians on his security clearance forms, he gets defensive and says he is new to the job and did not know. for this writer, that is unacceptable. the writer says, "why is a man of such inexperience in charge of so many things?" catherine: we are going to move from washington to the himalayas . there is an ongoing standoff in a sector close to bhutan. reporter: it is in between the territory that india and china share. this is a pretty serious standoff that has been taking place for about five weeks. it has not really been reported widely in the press. the indian and chinese military have been facing off in this sector because both india and china accuse each other of illegally crossing the borders into bhutan. bhutan is considered to be india's ally. it is a tiny kingdom dependent on india. the crisis has prompted fierce opinions in the press.

let's start with an indian website which says "this is not a bilateral, but a trilateral crisis, because india needs to stand up for blue tamme, at the risk of blue 10 being seduced by china." india has opted for a restrained approach. now is the time to be more aggressive, says the indian paper. the chinese government paper has an outright morning, saying if india chooses a military showdown, beijing will fight to the very end. catherine: moving away from that story to one that has made news across the world -- it concerns a little baby boy in the u.k. his name is charlie gard. his parents have just had to make a heartbreaking decision. reporter: that heartbreaking decision is to take off his life support. it comes after a lengthy and high-profile battle in the u.k. courts, and also with them getting support from the u.s..

the parents wanted to take the little boy to the u.s. for experimental treatment. now, it is too late. "sleep tight, our beautiful baby boy," "the daily mail" says, quoting the mother. thatguardian" writer says while this case is tragic, we need to respect the court decision. the court's sole concern is for the child's interest, and the court is capable of transcending emotion. this case has become very emotional. it has played out politically as well. we have seen a lot of perspectives from the conservative press, in particular this editorial from "the wall street journal," which blames a system that "elevated a judge's opinion about what is best for charlie over that of his loving parents." catherine: there is so much opinion about this very sad, very personal case. 24 hour viewers to look at in the press today. here in france, the president has a big meeting on his hands.

he has invited key libyan leaders to a chateau near paris. reporter: he invited the prime minister and his rival, a military general, the head of the libyan national army. they are both in paris to meet with emmanuel macron. macron is hoping to help both sides find a solution to what is essentially a political quagmire in libya. it has been that way for six years, since colonel gadhafi was killed. a french paper reports the men are expected to sign a document that will define the principles on which to advance, like holding elections in 2018. catherine: there is one piece of analysis you have pulled out that is taking a more cynical view of this, perhaps more clear right, saying that france might be looking to gain out of getting an end to the libyan crisis. reporter: nothing ever comes for free, does it? when it comes to diplomatic issues, there is always some sort of game. this is the idea put forth by one researcher interviewed by

the conservative newspaper "l 'opinion." bothys france is provided sides, first by providing weapons to the general, but also by recognizing the government. france has played on both sides, and this has put them at odds with the libyan people. it has given macron a unique position of eating able to negotiate or mediate this conflict. ultimately, for france, bringing peace in libya will also ensure french security, the security of the region. catherine: we are going to end with some real estate news, kind of. the interest of anyone interested in history, particularly world war ii. this is from a french paper. reporter: wants a piece of the atlantic wall? that is what the local normandy paper asks. the wall runs along france, belgium, and the netherlands.

catherine: it is not very pretty, is it? historic, i suppose. reporter: it was ordered by hitler's to defend germany against an attack from the u.k. you can purchase part of the wall, this military
