states at which point u.s. customs and border enforcement fired tear gas across the international border and those people trying to breach the wall now we don't know whether the u.s. government is going to file a complaint with washington over that but the mexican government as you said has said that it's going to round up and deport about five hundred people whom they say were involved in the effort to breach the wall for several hours the u.s. government had closed the border crossing at santa see the road which is the main border crossing between southern california and baja california and that meant that people either walking on foot between the two countries or driving between the two countries were not allowed to cross but in the past thirty minutes they have opened both the pedestrian and vehicular crossing points at sana see the road and but we expect that it will take several more hours for the backlog of traffic to clear one thing that the mexican government says is that after the use of tear gas agai

law allowed those fleeing persecution to seek asylum in the united states were guard lists of how they entered the country no longer just sign. the proclamation asylum again i reiterate we need democratic votes using executive power as president donald trump has reduced the number of asylum claims now mandating a claim can only be considered if a person entered the united states through a legal checkpoint. the presidential proclamation is trumps latest response to a caravan of migrants headed to the united states thousands of u.s. soldiers have been deployed to the border to discourage a flood of illegal entries trumps also cast doubt on claims migrants are fleeing persecution in their home countries a condition of asylum and the reason this is happening is we've created such a successful country economically that everybody is flooding used to our country with refugees over the white house is defending what immigration activists say is trump's latest draconian immigration policy but like the travel ban implemented early and presidency the white house argues the changes are necessary fo

security council and a show of support from the united states but i think there would be concerns as well that on both of these fronts he didn't quite get the full extent of what he was working towards so on is martial law the parliamentarians who are voting in the rod basically chopped it down from sixty days to thirty days and they made sure that this was not a nationwide imposition of martial law it only affected kind of front here parts of the country bits of the country that are either facing russian troops or the sea or you know other breakaway bits of other countries so. i think there are there are parts of the ukrainian body politic which saw what it was trying to do as a political overreach as essentially a power grab in the run up to the presidential elections next year and also on the international front i think poroshenko will be slightly concerns that donald trump doesn't seem particularly interested in this issue when he was asked about it i think yesterday he said well we don't like what's happening either way we don't lie what's happening i hope it will get straighten

another day in the united states another day to learn the names and the stories of the victims of a mass shooting among them a small business owner a police officer a college freshman just eighteen years old a man who took care of disabled children and a twenty seven year old who survived the mass shooting in las vegas just over a year ago my name is susan are fine with my son with tell her find out if we lost him last night at the borderline shooting my son was unwell spare us with a lot of his friends and he came home he didn't come on last night and i don't want prayers i don't want thoughts i want gun control and i hope to god nobody will send me any more prayers i want gun control no more. think you it has become a familiar pattern each and every time americans are killed in mass by an armed man the politics break down into two camps for republicans it is about mental health the shooter was trained to be an excellent shot by the u.s. marines he served in afghanistan well he was a war veteran he was a marine he was in the war he served time he saw some pretty bad things and a lot of

states now it is a concern of course now we haven't been able to confirm whether turks have already asked for an assistance from the u.s. side but of course if the technical analysis conclude that this so was really belongs to mohamed bin some man as it is believed to be here probably u.s. president donald trump would be happy about that what further evidence has come to light. well there are very important details that we have we have learned today. the consul general mohamed el to be in istanbul is named to be the prime suspect of. murder according to the investigation file that we have we have been reporting this for a while he's directly involved but along with him now there are three other saudi nationality employees at the consulate who are named as the prime suspects as well and we have learned that those people have left stumble after mamma the tape be left three days after damascus shook his disappearance also consul general is said to be said to have had three talks with some of those catherine in the private aid and plus he exchanged one e-mail according to the security o

states to protest. almost two years have passed but the u.s. president has given them little reason to change their original judgment of a man many regard with revulsion his behavior and language at times has hardened their views. after his aide omarosa manigault newman was ousted from the white house called her a crazed crying lowlife and a dog after congresswoman maxine waters encouraged her supporters to harass trump administration officials they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station called waters an extraordinarily low i.q. person. but nothing has polarized the country more along gender lines than the hearings for supreme court justice brett kavanaugh christine blas a forward accused trumps nominee of sexual assault when they were in high school truck cast doubt about her testimony mocking her recollection of the decades old event how did you get home i don't remember how did you get there i don't remember where is the place i don't remem

states so that the united states has no choice but to keep business as usual with the saudi government despite the murder on him off much of it it shows that this obsession with iran has now reached a level in the us government on the trunk it's always existed but it's not reached a level that is beyond anything we've seen in the past and i think we've reached a point in which even folks in washington are starting to see that this obsession with iran has gone quite a bit too far and i think what you're also seeing is that this saudi american relationship which has been a bipartisan issue is not going to become much more of a partisan question in the sense that many of the democrats will make their opposition to the current sound of u.s. relationship it cornerstone of their foreign policy particularly from progressives this saudi american relationship as it stands right now and bodies almost everything that they disagree with when it comes to american foreign policy everything from turning a blind eye to human rights violations everything from basing so much on it on arms sales to the l

the network stated mission is to prepare the united states of america for the coming of jesus christ its method the strategic use of mass communication a global ministry relying on t.v. internet and social media to spread good news. according to the network's c.e.o. c.b.s. flagship show the seven hundred club gets roughly five to six hundred thousand u.s. beers a day not exactly the more than three million viewers sean hannity gets every night on fox news but that content is then translated and transmitted around the globe getting a monthly reach of up to fifteen million c.b.s. is the most influential evangelical christian organization in the world without a doubt it's not so due to the size of their audience though it's due to the fact that all of the other leaders in place even joking christianity pay attention to what pat says and so it's a matter of not only influencing masses but it's influencing the influence servers and that's what c.b.s. does so well. terry heathy was the executive producer of the seven hundred club for much of the one nine hundred eighty s. the parties talki

states and around the world. lead causes brain damage especially in children flint michigan recently stopped delivering bottled water to residents after declaring its let water crisis over some cities including chicago actually required lead service lines between the main drinking water line in the street and homes until congress ban the practice in one nine hundred eighty six there's an irony here the great lakes of north america are the largest source of fresh water in the world water from lake michigan is generally lead free when it leaves water treatment plants here but it becomes contaminated when it runs through lead service lines underground and chicago has more than three hundred thousand of them more than any other city in america. chicago's park service has shut off or removed half of its twelve hundred water fountains and it is leaving hundreds of others on around the clock to minimize lead levels but it is not replacing all of its lead service lines i think that cost is one part of it i think there is

states from pakistan hello everybody it is good to have you reunited again so it's been a year it's been a lot of yeah lots of things to talk about i just went through your various twitter accounts i found the it's donald j. trump this was from november the six demand of success tonight thank you to all seventy you going to own to posting that one to retreating at one. well we won the senate and we've strengthened republican hold on coming confirmation hearings and a lot of hopefully we have another supreme court nominee i think it will go through much smoother now that we have control of the senate so are you feeling that you're doing so much winning right now as a republican. not so much that we were disappointed to see us lose a few races in the house and obviously democrats stepped up their game but it gives us more opportunity to work much more harder for them coming next election gini you were smiling i mean you're looking positively radiant today is that because of the midterm election really i was very happy that the democrats took over the house because and this now we have

states is really reflected in florida as well. the importance of this state isn't lost on the president who often refers to florida as the second home as the midterms approach he's focused on two key races one for governor the other for the senate if you want a leader who shares your values and who will fight for your families you need to get out and vote for rick scott now i'm really talking about the people on television because everybody it is for the democrats to the stakes are high in many ways candidate for governor andrew gilligan represents the hopes for the democratic party's future. that is big coming out of the white house that right here in the state of. going to remind this nation. can live in a state still recovering from hurricane michel and plagued by environmental issues there's a lot on voters' minds and the race is a tight senator bill nelson has been in office for more than forty years and is now in the race of his career if florida is a reflection of the nation's mood in the two key races here for governor and

and great respect for china but in the president's words china is taking advantage of the united states for many many years in those days are over. as the president said and china has tremendous barriers they have tremendous tariffs in is we all know their country and gauges and quotas force technology transfer you know property fifteen just real subsidies on an unprecedented scale immigration officers and me and maher have detained more than a thousand people thought to be random as asylum seekers who were found on a boat bound for malaysia police are looking into whether the vessel is being used for people smuggling around two thousand central american migrants marching across mexico towards the u.s. have reached right there on the border american troops have been securing the border wall on the u.s. side with barbed wire as they migrants approach it already want to have opened up a sports complex to take up to about three thousand people thousands are fleeing violence and poverty in their countries hoping to seek asylum in the united states i didn't cast our reports from want to. i'm

states directly lied to you a lot that he told me that he had nothing to do with it he told me that i would say maybe five times in the last two years trump and his son in law jarrett cushion or had grown close to the crown prince they see him as key to their goal of isolating iran into promoting u.s. economic growth but on capitol hill the idea that mohamed bin solomon is a friend of the u.s. is dying i'm going to do whatever i can to place blame where i believe it lies i'm a put it at the feet of the crown prince who has been a destructive force in the middle east embargoed without telling anybody this war on humans got completely out of control he put the prime minister of lebanon under house arrest is clearly this guy's a wrecking ball some in congress say trump's long running hatred of the intelligence community is keeping him from doing the right thing the president needs to listen to what our intelligence committee has to say what our best professionals assessment is and it's vitally important that this administration not allow itself to become part of any saudi coverup and w

trade dispute with china meanwhile leaders of the united states mexico and canada signing a new trade agreement on the sidelines of the g. twenty meeting the u.s. and c. a or us mexico canada agreement is set to replace nafta u.s. fries and donald trump as fresh as into negotiating a new path saying not that was unfair to the u.s. and bad for american workers live pictures from buenos aires d'esprit and kimberly hall credit who is covering this g. twenty summit for us so we're expecting this new deal committee to be signed any moment now of the g. twenty. yeah that's right this is a significant moment but we should point out it's largely symbolic right now when the three leaders from canada the united states and mexico signed what is known as the u.s. m.c.a. replacing nafta it still has to be ratified in the u.s. congress it'll be a pretty straightforward process when it comes to mexico and canada but it could be a challenge given the fact that there has been a midterm election in the united states and there is now a democratic house that will be controlled in january and there may be

attitude or heard the same grace for the families and really the united states but you know nest as a you know the president of the united states who is really using this you know to make sure that he rallies up his voters in this midterm election for whatever reason you know he's using these scare tactics to make sure that you know people come out and vote in favor of his politics which we know of course are inhumane i mean they're literally against what america stands for and so you know it's going to be a problem that we're going to be seen for some time and you know we're going to be watching but yeah i you know they they will you know there will be on our radar for quite some time this is you know this is a huge undertaking you're talking about seventy five hundred people eight hundred miles away from our borders there's a lot that is going to happen joining us from project three sixty new york of them thank you so much free time do appreciate it. this is the news good if you with us on facebook live or get a bonus a.j. full story coming up for you know about a jordanian artist c

yeah brought into the united states illegally as children but now have grown up in the united states and really don't call any other country home other than the united states but they've had a barrier in order to work go to school and university for example as a result under an obama era program put in place in two thousand and twelve it's the deferred action on childhood arrivals but most people call it daka here in the united states donald trump sought to end that program it has been challenged in the federal courts up to this point the latest ruling a setback for the trumpet ministration essentially saying that the white house cannot and that program so we now know that this is also headed to the supreme court the president talked about this as he left for marine one headed towards paris in the last couple of hours the plan is for this also to go to the supreme court and what the white house is hoping is like the travel ban although it receives push back in the lower federal courts that ultimately again it will prevail at the supreme court level the highest court in the land and t

but in the president's words china's taking advantage of the united states for many many years. in those days are over. as the president said and china has tremendous barriers they have tremendous tariffs and as we all know their country and gauges and quotas forced technology transfer intellectual property theft industrial subsidies on an unprecedented scale under thomas has more now from port moresby. the c in a pack stands for cooperation but there was less cooperation on display in the early speeches than the was regional competition particularly in the speeches a president g. of china and mike pence the vice president of the united states both those speeches were really a list of criticisms of the policies of the other country president g. was particularly focused on dole trumps tariff policies he said that trade wars only have losers and he called for terrorists to be wound down for his part mike pence used his speech to criticize china's loans across countries in the asia pacific region saying those loans come with strings attached pointedly he said that u.s. loans don't

nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the national community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important protectors on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program nicaragua's government says protests against president daniel ortega have caused almost a billion dollars in economic damage but it failed to account for more than three hundred people rights groups say have been killed in demonstrations since april the crackdown on protesters has sparks widespread in

states but not everyone may survive until then. the u.n. says four hundred thousand children under five are at risk of dying if they don't get help. around forty percent of those four hundred thousand around the port city of her data. instead of aid trucks this is what's coming down the road the saudi immorality coalition has launched new offensives over the last week attacking sana airport and trying to retake her data thousands of troops have been sent there including so-called elite brigades commanded by the u.a.e. which says they're making progress by the civil rights. i like a macho after seizing control as you can see of the main road the main artery of supplies to the militias at various points we are now hearing to seal the last exit point we have now called in the entire city and we are advancing from all directions into the heart of the city it's not just her data that's under siege in northern yemen a new wave of those displaced has been arriving in the city of abs an influx of nearly twenty thousand people hundreds woun

the agreement between the united states and so there is still the u.s. refueling all. seems to be a coordinated agreement with so did have us saying it now haaz the capacity to refuel its own involved in the aerial bombardments that have been carted out on positions inside yemen and now many people say however that this is just. the united states government so that it be a by extension of congress which has been really critical of u.s. involvement and support for the so the morality correlation but other aspects of the support the u.s. has been giving the sodium without equal nations such as selling them and also giving them vital intelligence particularly on food the physicians in various parts of the country will continue which means it will be business as usual on that front meanwhile heavy fighting is going on on the outskirts of the port city of the day that pro-government fighters are continuing their all small on three different. lines trying to retake the city of data from the fighters today they claim that they have taken a hospital outside the city and u.n. w

nations and the united states but because of the u.s. efforts to try to broker a unilateral deal with north korea on denuclearization there is this sense now that north korea feels empowered to basically step up activities that have been deemed illegal by the and international community that includes expanding trade with both china and russia its two closest neighbors and as the u.s. has alleged for many years two of its most important protectors on the global stage the question is can the trumpet ministration now find a way to not only make north korea stop development of these military programs but also carry out the sorts of inspections that would verify that north korea is trying to make good on its promise to give up its nuclear weapons program. supremum court is hearing a challenge to the president's decision to call a snap election president. triggered a political crisis last month when he fired and replaced prime minister run a workroom a singer and often and reports from colombo. over a dozen petitions were herded sri lanka's su

states would abide by its commitments then maybe we could talk about other things well the united states has not abided by its commitments it walked out unilaterally but it's a shame really because what the u.s. has done is sort of fed not only iranian paranoia but iranian propaganda. we must beginning to define what it is that we demand. some of the twelve conditions the trumpet ministration has attached to the lifting of sanctions such as iran ending its ballistic missile program and not just missiles built to carry nuclear payloads are clearly deal breakers they are hardly the basis for productive negotiations washington says its goal is not regime change or to hurt ordinary iranians it just wants the regime to change its behavior but the administration's talking points its stated attempts to get iran back to the negotiating table after abandoning a nuclear deal reached at that same table simply don't add up there are numerous false hoods that the trumpet mistress was presenting in their narrative. one is that this will not her tea party nation that is as ridiculous and as a preposter

but as the president of the united states are you concerned about the access that people are having to voting i heard it was very efficient in georgia i heard it was very efficient but again you'd have to ask the state governments because just one of those things you can have to ask them. yeah go ahead place. thank you thank you mr president you expressed some concerns about social media companies unfairly censoring conservatives during the election do you anticipate working with democrats to regulate these companies or are you sad what i would do there i would look at that verse i think it's a serious problem at the same time you start getting into speech that's a very dangerous problem that could be the beginning so it's very dangerous believe it or not i'm one that really likes free speech lot of people don't understand but i am a big believer in when you start regulating a lot of bad things can happen. but i would certainly talk to the democrats if they want to do that and i think they do want to do that yes your former president former president barack obama famously said that

states when it comes back. and reconvenes in washington will take decisions itself and the president might not like those decisions so he better get out in front of this oncoming train according to reports even the cia accepts that mohamed bin sounds position is secure but there are suggestions that the u.s. may attempt to use evidence of the crown prince's culpability and to show g.'s murder as leverage on yemen the blockade of qatar or the incarceration of dissidents even as some in congress see the murder of jamal khashoggi as a moment to reevaluate the entire relationship between saudi arabia and the us others see it more as an opportunity to clip the wings of a volatile crown prince while still relying on him to advance the trumpet ministrations agenda in the middle east she had her town see al-jazeera washington . john jones is a us foreign policy analyst and a former congressional advisor on national security he expects the u.s. to change its relationship with saudi arabia the cia report essentially has

my pump aoe but his vice president mike pence as well who are also saying that the united states needs to hold those responsible accountable given that conclusive intelligence it seems that the president is alone on this and it is unlikely that he is going to be able to maintain this stance for indefinitely and that is where we get back to the go equal branches of government thanks indeed let's take you live now back to where we are working selma. become is addressed the shura council. and he's. by the grace of god to. great the. be sure proceedings of the thirtieth of the seventh. of the shore accounts and praying to god almighty to guide us away towards the excess ladies and gentlemen it is with the pleasure of. that. meeting among it today to consider the internal and external policies of the kingdom. we remain the state. to the principles. of. the is land based on moderation. and. we were on of by god almighty to serve the two holy mosques and we spare no effort and providing old facilities to the pilgrims and visitors. and therefore. as we're. doing with continue. to pay attention

states and threatening me and our world i don't see a songe as a victim anymore i see it as someone who helped to victimize american democracy and if julian assange is being demonized for that and count me among his demonized years. conversations that we've been able to read that have been leaked seem to be suggesting that julian would be willing to do things specifically to help the trump campaign certainly that's a legitimate critique of wiki leaks that i think we can all see evidence for what we've never seen any evidence for is that there's been any even communication let alone call operation or cooperation between wiki leaks and the russian government even though and for some reason it's now totally acceptable in western media outlets to simply assert as though it is fact. julian assange has said the source of the clinton e-mails was not the russian government nor was it a state party a sanjay also has issues with his new landlord the ecuadorian president who granted him asylum rafael correa has been succeeded by lennon merino who wants better relations with washington the new

united states the european union. that there will not push this problem in a further turkey this is not just a political economic issue it's also a criminal one a murder has been committed and they want to investigate it and solve it but they say that investigation is being hampered by a lack of saudi cooperation. the turks are demanding details about the day mr kosofsky was murdered they have asked the saudis who if not the crown prince gave the order they want the men accused tried in a turkish court and they want to know where mr remains are but turkey can't force this alone it has to be in international investigation under the powers of the un secretary-general. so it has to be an investigation where there is an experienced investigative team with the power to go anywhere they need to go to interview witnesses to interview suspects. only in the circumstances i think genuine justice be possible. this murder has gone from the realms of a tragic hollywood movie script to a political chess game it may be that with the

would rather build its electric cars in china rather than in the united states. we are going to be looking at certain subsidies regarding electric cars and others whether they should apply or not i can't say the final about that but we're looking into it again that reflects the president's own disappointment regarding these actions ms barrett told me on the other hand i want to all be completely fair airs her business. it may be possible to transfer workers to other plants in texas and michigan i do not an expert on general motors and not an analyst or lies but that's what she said but obviously there's a lot of disappointment even hang her i've heard it again from mr trudeau from president from democrats and republicans just oh do you think it's an adverse lead in fact our economy coming into the christmas season after no i mean look i don't know anybody get laid off i want workers to do very well i want more of their wages to go well and they are and that's one of the great things you know there's a certain amount of pessimism that i'm reading about maybe it ha

states and saudi arabia and what exactly is this relationship about and what exactly is the united states willing to do to control at least parts of that relationship glenn could this be an indication that these senate or the some political establishments of the united states of america would like to scrutinize relations with saudi arabia more than ever. i think that's part of it yes as karen said but i think the immediate reason for the rare pushback by some members of the senate to the white house in the last two years just now is the assassination and the fact that trump and pump a.o. and now even matters are sort of carrying the water for the crown prince to protect him but the three reasons that karen stated are important. i would only differ in one way and i am not convinced that the american public is paying much attention to yemen at all but i think that the congress members are starting to and there are two there's a rising feeling or that it's no longer acceptable for us to enable a. a war that is only causing problems for all concerned rather than resolving them he. assumed tha

third wife i still say all that was before he became president united states guy came for you. congressman blackburn imagine one question. that values voters they are you worried about losing voters because it trumps stand. the values voter summit open in washington with the midterm elections approaching. kavanagh's nomination was still hanging in the balance so there was a mixture of excitement and tension. until the trumpet ministration no sitting president or vice president had ever spoken here. christian a conservative and a republican in that order and it's my great great honor to return to the values. but with mike pence who emerged from within the religious right this felt like a homecoming. as another excellent ally. because he. comes from the. white final last question has been in lock step with that. agenda for his entire career. the great honor to be back at the values voter summit with men and women who forty five days from now. i know in my heart of hearts will deliver another historic victory for the american people when we reelect a republican majorities in the h

states. mexican police say they face deportation for violently and illegally rushing the border u.s. border agents gas in response present donald trump has vowed to keep out thousands of migrants who want from central america to escape poverty and crime leon tresco is a former deputy assistant attorney general in charge of integration at the u.s. department of justice he blames the trump administration for the chaos at america's southern border. i think this was a terrible. terrible completely self-inflicted and avoidable tragedy the strategy of the trump administration has been to say nobody can cross along that mild u.s. border because they will not be allowed to get asylum they have to go through the ports of entry and then they'd be prioritized order of a dreamy who only allows eighty people import a when they know there are five thousand but wait well they did give people a place that they could apply in an orderly fashion in mexico they didn't allow people to come in and kind of a i don

well i'm going to be watching some of these key senate races and it's the good thing about the united states is there's three times arms so some of the results are going to be first coming out in the u.s. time zone and seven pm in florida in virginia some of these polls close to going to want to look at the gubernatorial and senate race in florida or is that some of your viewers may not be paying attention to that but dave brat he's a member of congress is it iraqi man or a leading republican he's now going to real dog quiet suburban washington d.c. if that race looks either too close to call in those polls close or if it looks like it's leaning democrat that it looks like it will be a bit one for the democrats if on the other hand some of those research poll quite early on the republicans the republicans might be holding back as the tide ok it's going to be an exciting night thanks very much program k. for joining us there ok yes indeed. let's move on to some other news now means you have reported that saudi officials sent to istanbul to investigate the disappearance of genest. focus

and the united states asked saudi arabia to implement more reforms said it wasn't enough what they've done so far for example mexico said the need to be a moratorium on the death penalty in saudi arabia a death penalty by the way which is seen twice as many people executed in twenty fifteen as was executed in twenty thirteen months in a row spoke about the importance of addressing gender based violence and even man mark spoke about the importance of allowing religious freedom within the kingdom of saudi arabia it was a bruising encounter and it will go forward into a report that will be produced later this week and into a full human rights council next year to the u.s. now a civil rights groups fear that millions of americans are being denied their right to vote and the midterm elections they say states under republican control on fairly purging voter rolls affecting mine are taking the trend as a path and georgia where the white republican candidate is facing strong competition from a black democrat john hendren reports from atlanta. daniel nuno was puzzled by the government letter t

it was an argument over trade that caused the breakdown the trade disputes between the united states and china is so serious that apec leaders couldn't find any common ground they could put into words there are differing visions on particular elements in regards to trade and those are prevented there from being full consensus on the communique document the leaders agreed to that instead of a traditional leaders decoration if you. leave it there. is the chance. this is. just a regional rivalry with clear leaders from australia new zealand japan and the united states announced millions of dollars to help bring reliable electricity to the majority of people in papua new guinea and that seen as a way to counter the growing chinese investment an influence this principle spice cabinet ship signals our ongoing commitment to put our financial and our technical resources into connecting more households businesses and service providers across papua new guinea apec is normally a forum for consensus and cooperation on how to grow economies this year has descended into squabbles over policies act

states and china are at an all time high but also it comes at a time when the united states needs china's role in its negotiation with north korea let's make to remy brazeau he's an economist at the french institute of international strategic affairs he's joining us live from paris thanks for speaking to us on al-jazeera so the u.s. treasury secretary said that we have advised swift that it must disconnect any iranian financial institution that we designate as soon as technologically feasible to avoid sanctions exposure just for the benefit of our international viewers swift is the system that allows the world's banks to communicate with one another so how big a deal is this for iran what does isolating iran from swift actually mean. well it's very damaging to the arabian economy it prevents iranian banks from from. having transactions with for rain banks and to to. take part in any deal with abroad so that's that's a very serious issue many while there have been other signals. some buying start on not have not been designated. by us sanctions could still have some access to to switch sys

and all the churches she has to present being attacking the united states and our jews in united states all going to a single cool well organized you know tax on the turkish there so this is not to. relationship to any is on the men's only poppy thank you very much for talking to al-jazeera thank you protests in pakistan against the release of a christian woman had been called off after three days of violence the government's reached an agreement with conservative muslim groups on wednesday the supreme court overturned the death sentence of the woman accused of insulting islam come all high reports. have. happened. but it is danced in jordan who throws. for three days the protests over the yard their baby gate shut down parts of everybody thirty fifty would head man of out of the whole city is filled with fear and no one is coming out to the situation of unrest mostly road to quiet not much transport is a violent. i see b.b. is a pakistani christian woman condemned to did eight years ago after an argument with their muslim neighbors led them to accuse her of insulting islam this new pri

so let me just go through the list underwriting lebanese hezbollah presents a threat to united states of america and to israel underwriting the who these in yemen causing an enormous conflict to take place there in that country the efforts in iraq to undermine the iraqi government funding shia militias that are not the best interest of the iraqi people their efforts and syria the list goes on the difference in behavior between those two countries is remarkable. that on some perhaps need some point checking the u.n. says there's no evidence iran has recently supplied the who feeds with weapons while the saudi led air campaign has been responsible for the majority of civilian deaths in yemen saudi arabia certainly has its own destabilizing role in the region just look at the blockade of counts and if you are criticizing iran for its human rights then sound is appalling record also needs to be scrutinized particularly in the light of the murder of jamal khashoggi in istanbul james al-jazeera washington . iran's president says it'll be business as usual for his country in a defiant addres

security council that has been waiting for the united states for that peace plan from president trump son in law jared cushion and i'm beginning to detect behind the scenes there is growing impatience from ambassadors on the security council that the plan is not being announced and the situation is just getting worse just listen to the comments of two of the ambassadors as they were arriving this morning and these are two close allies of the u.s. i think we are under play under playing our own role of six security council on some issues and the world this is one of them. i think the security council a lot of people still look up to the council to take a preventive action i don't think we've been managing to do it we have not been able to do that in this particular situation i think that might change i think the council would would very much like to see some concrete proposals and wants to get behind mr mlodinow of and support his moves on the ground obviously very concerning what is happening there and the biggest wary of course is that it could lead to something even worse than what

states that's of been privy to those recordings but also the united kingdom france and germany three very significant allies of the saudis as well not least in terms of arms sales you're talking about the top two the united states and britain but also in earlier ones statements besides the ports and to note a couple of things aside from those recordings he spoke of the fact that the saudis who had initially through the were foreign minister not through some states media statement that could be misinterpreted through the foreign minister had claimed that the perpetrators of this murder had engaged with the local collaborator to dispose of the body now have denied that claim and have run a just the latest kind of u. turn that they've been making in so many different neuration since have been coming out of riyadh as they've tried to cover up and i think that one of the main statements that to take from these latest words from the turkish president's aside from the fact that he's pointed very clearly to those recordings is that he seems to have lost patience with the way in which things

states and saudi arabia and it's going to be taking a look at the national security relationship between the two countries especially when light of the ongoing civil war in yemen one in which the saudis have been accused of violating the human rights of civilians in that war torn country by bombing civilian targets under the pretense of going after the fighters who want to take control of the government this hearing could possibly be made public because it's a opportunity for the general public to listen to senators question these two cabinet members but the real import of this potential hearing is that it would give the senators both democratic and republican more ammunition on deciding how to hold saudi arabia accountable not just for its conduct in the yemeni civil war but just as important for the murder of jamal khashoggi both republicans and democrats have been extremely critical of riyadh because of the murder and they say that it is not for the united states to be giving any sort of political or diplomatic cover to a country that would go out and willingly target and then murder

states would abide by its commitments then maybe we could talk about other things well the united states has not abided by its commitments it walked out unilaterally but it's a shame really because what the u.s. has done is sort of fed not only iranian paranoia but iranian propaganda. we must beginning to define what it is that we demand. some of the twelve conditions the trumpet ministration has attached to the lifting of sanctions such as iran ending its ballistic missile program and not just missiles built to carry nuclear payloads are clearly deal breakers they are hardly the basis for productive negotiations washington says its goal is not regime change or to hurt ordinary iranians it just wants the regime to change its behavior but the administration's talking points it's stated attempts to get iran back to the negotiating table after abandoning a nuclear deal reached at that same table simply don't add up there are numerous false hoods that the trumpet mistress she was presenting in their narrative. one is that this will not her tea party nation that is as ridiculous and as a prep

states directly lied to you a lot that he told me that he had nothing to do with it he told me that i would say maybe five times in the last two years trump and his son in law jarrett cushion or had grown close to the crown prince they see him as key to their goal of isolating iran into promoting u.s. economic growth but on capitol hill the idea that mohamed bin solomon is a friend of the u.s. is dying i'm going to do whatever i can to place blame where i believe it lies i'm a put it at the feet of the crown prince who has been a destructive force in the middle east the embargo or without telling anybody of this war in yemen has got completely out of control he put the prime minister of lebanon under house arrest is clearly this guy's a wrecking ball some in congress say trumps long running hatred of the intelligence community is keeping him from doing the right thing the president needs to listen to what our intelligence committee has to say what our best professionals assessment is and it's vitally important that this administration not allow itself to become part of any saudi cov

states to israel david friedman has flown into washington for this meeting in the middle east peace coordinator jason green blatt about the final content of the deal of the century planned and on has been working on for so long and perhaps it's now sees that plan that's fully korten dated with him as the kind of step that would improve israeli security permanently and needs to be done right now if there was an election going on that man would be delayed by another several months and maybe never even appen if this is the key to israel's security future then it's now needed to delay this election but could really explain why jani let's expand a little bit further on that particular idea by gil let's suppose the americans decide to announce they all to deal in a way though with till the ground in favor of netanyahu however we know absolutely nothing about the components of that deal its fate of jewish. final deal with the palestinian security arrangements the rights of the refugees and we don't know whether all the key players in the region i mean to what extent can we say that this is

in egypt as well as that reported deal of the century that the united states is putting together so one wonders what israel's motivations were in conducting this ground operation. yes one must mention two as well that president trump negotiated for the reason as he's described jason dean backed was in israel last week he had a meeting with mr netanyahu in which among other things the situation in gaza was discussed we understand the temp to stabilize the area this part of what do you mentioned there the peace initiative that president trump has talked about for a long period of time back in september president trump said that he would have such a deal ready for it within two to four months that brings us to the beginning of december and last week in london jason green blatt addressing the meeting there said that the initiative would be ready within a couple of weeks so certainly a with the ongoing crisis now in gaza this may certainly interrupt the process if indeed there is one to introduce president trumps deal of the sentry and i know that you've approached both the state department

very very early on that we've had a united states congressman we are anticipating united states senators to put out even more force or statements so the reaction has been quite one sided as far as i can tell i do not see any international organization or any other or statesman speaking in support of what russia did which should be clear was not actually in the strait but twenty three kilometers away from it so very clearly with g.p.s. responder's we can verify their e clearly this was an attack on a russian and ukrainian vessel in international waters let's talk then about the politics of this the internal ukrainian politics this idea of martial law the cynic the skeptic would say as well he was explaining that if there is martial little there are no elections they can be postponed what do you say to that. well that's this this term martial law it all relates to one term in the ukrainian constitution for you on the stand that can be interpreted by different very different ways martial law refers to what happens internally in the country obviously it is a state of war that needs to be dec
