for them to declare all kinds of attacks, including aerial bombardment, will cease. we reserve the right to respond if they fail to respond positively to this initiative. the continuation of this war will not be positive for anybody. we say this knowing the ones who suffer more our enemy nations. a journalist spoke to al jazeera earlier and said of saudi arabia doesn't abide by the cease-fire, more attacks are likely to come from the who these. >> after the huge attack on the saudi refinery, which has stopped 5.7 million barrels output of saudi, that's why that attack has sent a strong message to saudi arabia that we -- against your war in yemen. but i believe the saturdays did

not accept this cease-fire. there are more attacks to come. they released more to show the saturdays doesn't want to stop the war against yemen. and i believe more and bigger attacks will come from saudi arabia. anchor: we have more from the many cap -- the mne capital -- the yemeni capital. >> they called for unilateral cease-fires. they accuse saudi arabia of not responding and not committing to the cease-fires. but hopefully many expect the latest initiative declared by the head of the transitional council, which is running the government affairs, that this cease-fire will hold its place

operation, yemenis carried out a defense against themselves in a process that killed their children. america as allies and aggressors has become tired and worn out. economically, militarily. their policies were wrong and failed. the u.s. and announcing sanctions on iran that includes the iranian central bank, also targeted other government funders of iran. say it's used to conceal transfers for military purchases. president trump says he prefers financial sanctions to the use of military actions to prevent iran from the venting -- tehran from obtaining nuclear weapons. president trump: we have sanctioned the iranian national bank, their central banking system.

have been in place. president trump and his advisors are insistent there is a massive economic impact from the original sanctions that were opposed -- imposed in recent months, and this will increase the impact. once again, it feeds with the latest sanctions. far too early to tell whether placing sanctions on the central bank, on what is iranians sovereign bank, that would depend on how much the u.s. can get its hands on or block through these sanctions. that's something that will play out over time. what this does show is the trump administration and president trump himself appear intent to continue to ratchet up economic pressures, remembering president trump is holding a series of meetings at the united nations next week. he's made clear is going to be looking for a reliance to approach the iran issue. most observers do not expect any

further or stronger action until president trump attempts to get some sort of -- in place. anchor: indeed. do these measures suggest military action, much less likely, indicate a preference for economic sanctions as opposed to a different sort of escalation? we've heard from secretary of state mike pompeo thursday saying precisely that, president trump is intent on seeking economic options rather than resorting at any stage to force. president trump has held a meeting with his national security advisers, is secretary of defense, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, and his new national security advisor robert brown. nothing has come publicly out of that meeting. but they were offering the menu of options president trump might

have should he wish to ratchet up further selections rather than mere economic sanctions. as i said, most say everything may be on hold, apart from the economic attempts to impact on iran's economy that the use of forceful measures, precise strikes on particular targets may wait until president trump has allowed the full economic impact of his layered sanctions begins to take effect. anchor: thank you very much with latest from washington. we want to take you to egypt now. several people have been arrested, antigovernment protests in the capital of cairo. they were broken up by police. protesters say they are facing corruption allegations to resign. he was reelected with 97% of the vote in an election where his

regulating days with no traffic, rideshare apps and policies, there has been a lack of meaningful solution in mexico. that's one of the things people are calling for. some of the kids we have spoken to say they do not have the support of schools. they decided to come out anyway and intend -- attend. there are other cities where there were 11, including 1992 nobel peace prize winner, who held a ceremony asking the planet for forgiveness, continuing to pollute the planet. mexico is making strides toward banning single-use plastic by the year 2021, so there is a silver lining in terms of resolution in mexico. anchor: thank you with the latest from mexico city. scientists are warning the increasing raised -- rate of

similar protests are taking place in cities across egypt. removedis saying it's more than 4.5 thousand spam accounts in accord needed campaign. the accounts were based in the united arab emirates and egypt. the fake profiles pushed critical of qatar. twitter suspended the account of a royal court advisor, please been implicated in the murder of a washington post journalist, jamal khashoggi. now to algeria, thousands have returned to the streets of algiers for the 31st week to demand political change. that despite a crackdown by a military chic that ordered it to block people entering the capital.

they want the president removed from power. a rights group says dozens have been arrested over the course of the past 10 days. more than 29,000 military personnel and police are continuing to fight thousands of fires earning across indonesia. smoke from the fires has caused a toxic haze, as well as neighboring malaysia and southern thailand. it is blamed on a global demand for palm oil. farm owners are setting fire to the land to make room for new crops. meanwhile in the indonesian capital, hundreds of thousands taking to the streets as part of the global climate strike, demanding an end to the clearing of land. we have more on this from jakarta. are sitting at the capital of jakarta, where 400 students, some as young as 10 years old, are demonstrating for

what they are calling climate action. they want the government to force an emergency to deal with issues facing the country, much around air pollution. they say they want clean air and blue skies. all of this comes on the back of forest fires that have happened in indonesia the last couple months on sumatra and borneo. it's causing a bad haze, affecting the population. it's also crossing into malaysia. many are saying they want the government to take more action by imposing better law enforcement to deal with measures to contain these fires. there is also investigations taking place around companies and individuals that had allegedly been burning some of this land. this is what they want. they want the government to oppose regulation and stopping firefighters from opposing it in the capital. anchor: several people arrested

in antigovernment protests. that.erstand first of all, these are initial stages. but what we have seen and what we've seen on social media, how widespread are these protests? what's the turnout like? guest: i think what we have to do is that in past attempts, to bring it down, the army has made square ofy enters the any of these cities. the fact that these people have been able to enter his an incredible achievement for the people to put us again cc. now we are hearing rumors that people are perturbed. we hear people are encouraged. there are people saying they want to get into the square so i will catch up with them in order

to increase those numbers. it seems there are things going on. we heard there were arrests of protesters, the initial 10 or 15 people. it's clear they are trying to prevent people from knowing that people are going to the square to prevent people from joining. it seems there's a bubble that's anding, a tension growing, it seems tension is increasing minute by minute. anchor: given the security measures and security presence you mentioned, how much of a risk are these people taking. risk. insignificant litter member how they deal with this. the democratically elected president was overthrown and subsequently died while in prison. a whole wave of opposition has been put in prison, whether the muslim brotherhood, anyone who writes on facebook. cc has been put in prison. they have pulled out all the

stops to make sure he stays in power. this is a gamble. it's do or die. if people go home after these protests, if they go home after having caused this momentum, you can be sure cc will enact a significant crackdown to prevent this from happening again. there are cracks emerging in the security system, and the power grab of egypt. if this continues long enough, fractions of the armies will act whether it's worth going down or changing him and saving their particular image. anchor: can i just ask you, because you've been monitoring this story, just to get one thing clear, we've had these protests taking place in cairo. what are we hearing in other cities? there have been reports in alexandra and elsewhere. what can you tell us about that? guest: there are smaller protests in other cities, but everybody is monitoring cairo.

if that increases, we can expect other protests to increase. everybody is in the central. is something happening or not? the number -- more numbers in cairo, more numbers in other cities. like i said, the fact that people are in the square, even just a couple hundred, this is significant because it shows there are cracks in the system. this is perhaps all people need to vent frustration over the iron grip in egypt. anchor: exactly. cc is firmly entrenched in the country, despite protests taking place. do we have to be somewhat cautious about describing them as possibly being the beginning of a new phase of unrest? guest: perhaps in previous instances, we might have said this. i said this on twitter. in the past, the chief accounting for his government,

when he said there was mass corruption, he very swiftly shut down the industry to prevent people from protesting. but it's important to appreciate the fact we see people protesting, in the square, the fact security forces were unable to prevent this number of people this suggests there is something happening, a movement happening. be cautious,should but we should appreciate where it has been widespread, the fact we are seeing large cracks in this oppression is the course for hope. because we see people in large numbers, everybody is talking about this. this is something not happening beforehand and something they are taking great pains to make sure it doesn't happen. this is possibly a snowball effect. numbers are getting larger and the army begins -- another

example, the media in egypt, they have spent the last three days crying out to make sure people don't go to the street. they have been calling for people to write on facebook, support the army. the media has been in hysteria to try to prevent people from protesting. they recognized that people might take to the streets. so the machine has been operating all week to prevent people from going to the square. the fact they are there means the machine is cracking and it remains to be seen whether it will lead to a break. the one yout, so are referring to their, recently spoke out, he's been smoking -- posting videos on social media about alleged corruption in egypt. thank you. released agovernment

new climate plan. it comes after pressure of environmental protests and increasing popularity of the green party at the polls. the bics economy has a long-term plan to cut emissions by 55% in 2030, compared to 1990 levels. a new carbon dioxide in mission will be made on pollution vehicles, starting at $11. $39 and raisesat incentives for buying electric charge -- cars. the head of the european energy policy think tank and previously worked for the energy and environment issues joins us now from berlin. thank you for bearing with us. germany doesn't have the most positive credentials in the doing the fight on climate change. is this plan a new development?

guest: it's not as much as we hope to see. as you said, it's missing its own 2020 target. risk ofurrently at moving ever 2030 target, as well, and first assessment of the measures now adopted by the climate cabinet in the government is not assuring that we actually reach our 2030 target with this package. anchor: just to be clear, the current plan isn't as efficient as you would've hoped for. and what you're saying is a new package isn't going to have any implications of the automobile industry. guest: let's take the example he mentioned, the introduction to your price on carbon emissions.

10 euros per ton of steel to charge by 2021. this translates to about two cents to consumer fuel price, which is only a tiny fraction of the overall price. this is not going to make a difference. anchor: so criticism from environmental groups and other experts, who are not happy at key parts of this plan. why the relatively low carbon price? why is the government not doing better? guest: i believe they are just too weak. at the moment, the government has been in charge for some years. they been struggling to come to terms with the topic of reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

only with the growing pressure from the youth movement, the growingovement, and broad coalition into society and trade unions, companies times for supporting much more rapid measures to reduce carbon emissions, the government is trying to do something better. but it does not, at the moment, sufficiently strong to pull those measures through. germany isht, so trying to do better but carbon emissions have not moved the last decade. that's a problem. aside, whathat about measures trying to encourage households to reduce carbon emissions? are they going to have any more success in changing consumer behavior? guest: this is an open question. true, the government has put

onto the table a fairly large reduce new incentives to by a renovation of the house. this?ll citizens buy into willie incentives for citizens to make investments really be sufficient? put intensivet to into play than to take clear regulatory decision in determining some action that must happen. anchor: thank you very much, head of the european energy policy think tank. thank you. guest: thanks to you. anchor: on development here, britain's brexit secretary expressed -- stephen barclay says there is common purpose between the u.k. and e.u. to have an agreement in

achieve is vague, but it seems to expect -- except a huge portion of irish food. most people don't understand. it's much simpler. it appears brexit has come down to this. the government says it's happy from meets from their cows to pass through the irish border, but not that piece of farming equipment over there. if that appears ridiculously picky, it's also the case of the british government doesn't realize that would be unacceptable to the irish government and the european union. the agricultural minister turned up to take questions to a single journalist. there's almost no attempt to understand the position. >> [indiscernible] detail of that is,

10% of the pool is processed from northern ireland republic. i could give you a myriad of statistics. it's really important to us. reporter: the politicians that represent around the border says if the u.k. can't figure out what it wants, it should let irish people decide for themselves. this is why the failure to agree on brexit could lead to a united ireland. >> choices are start. -- stark. the british government accept it, or they can give the people in northern ireland the choice to what union they want to be a part of. we want to be a part of the united kingdom will remain part of the european union? reporter: the contradiction of brexit remains, u.k. wants to shut itself off from the european union, while keeping its border open.
