its relationship with saudi arabia has nothing to do with it economically however yes this is a very interesting move i mean for one qatar is only the elevons biggest all producer of opec accounts for less than two percent of the overall output so qatar leaving opaque won't have a big impact on oil markets but qatar is the world's biggest exporter of liquid natural gas and it would it wants to expand to that market even more. together with iran there again it gets very interesting iran not a friend of saudi arabia certainly not of the united states the united states however again a very big exporter also of l. and g. so you have competition there on the horizon and the price of ellen g. to today already dropped by about three percent ok so a lot of developments in this area of monica thanks for looking into this for us and health more later in the show ok thanks now for some of the other stories making the news today more anti-government protests taking place in france today ambulance workers have gathered close the national subway in central paris to complain about changes to workin

arabia the de facto leader of the opec cartel and saudi arabia has been trying to isolate qatar. financially there's a blockade in the region off qatar since then since twenty seventeen the country has been trying to. to become more independent off off oil and opec and now it's decided to well not roll over a saudi arabia was hoping and cut ties with iran but rather go a different way. that was christian brits frank it don't says it back peace talks aimed at ending the conflict in yemen the to exclude stop in sweden as early as wednesday the development comes after the saudi led coalition agreed to evacuate fifty wounded who militants to iran the conflict this bush the country to the brink of famine in this next report be sure how one school is trying to make sure its pupils have enough to eat. five hundred bread rolls for the young honey girl school in santa two for each student the recess and first meal of the day are highly anticipated. apart from here at school many children have next to nothing to eat. and have a nice to have my father doesn't have a job anymore i'm very tha

now you even in saudi arabia are certainly playing it be an exaggeration suits very much a proxy war although now there certainly are rolled up essent there is certainly a strong domestic logic to a lot of its violent that being said you certainly know strong a strong chance that. you know if they don't like the way things are dying you can see the controllers are the saudis have said this out of the pollution so that they are on top fully other means to be seen with that watched me obviously you still have military moves are earning on the ground and certain things particularly a move towards or to create it could really potentially. throw the talks off ok so there's a lot and a lot still moving in the background there and i'm baron for us from the european council on foreign relations thanks very much. now for some of the other stories making the news at this hour a rainy and state media say at least three people have been killed a number wounded in a bomb blast in the southern port city of taba harm reports indicate a car bomb detonated near a police station more details on this d

business monica jones well come the price of oil has surged after russia and saudi arabia agreed to reduce output as part of an effort to curb oversupply in a separate development has announced it's leaving the world's most important group of oil producing nations after almost six decades the country's energy minister says the decision will enable qatar to focus more on developing its exports of liquefied natural gas but some analysts believe. the moves could be political. as far as breakups go this one was abrupt and seemingly out of the blue here's how tars energy minister delivered the news that his country's fifty seven year membership of the world's most important group of oil producing nations was coming to an end the state of qatar has decided to withdraw its membership from the organization of petroleum exporting countries effective january twenty ninth. this decision was communicated to operate this morning opec is made up of fifteen countries it was founded in one thousand nine hundred sixty with the goal of helping members benefit from a steady rise in oil prices so just how big

saudi arabia accused the who sees of receiving iranian support and formed an arab military coalition to support . according to u.n. estimates the country's inhabitants possess forty to sixty million weapons. diverse armed groups known as the popular resistance committees quickly formed to fight against the who sees alongside the saudi led coalition. they are brigades were on this side. of the swat guys one group on the other during clashes going to help all started running and my son was standing next to this door he took a bullet to the side of his head and it came out the other side. the other while a blast brigades are among the most controversial groups in the popular resistance to salafi militia was founded by shaikh abdel abdul fatah also known as abu allah bus who has been accused of having links to al qaeda. the. security headquarters were attacked by security personnel were killed in cold blood the wounded were denied and the people who carried out the operation were carrying black flags people recognized them as members of al qaeda but they were fighting with us is forces.

roll over a saudi arabia was home. thing and cut ties with iran but rather go a different way and how will this movie impact opec and the wealth market as. well most of all it will impact qatar because it does give it more independence they won't be dependent on the opec decisions anymore and it is already. the world's number one export are off a little fine natural gas if it has thirty per cent off the market currently oil shares did rise about five percent earlier today but that's not likely to be for qatar or for qatar's exit but rather the decision of russia and saudi arabia to cut the supply in and over supplied market. that's there from the strength of stock exchange thank you so much. well asian markets op today after the united states and china agreed to a ninety day truce in their months long trade dispute the announcement came after the country's leaders met at the sidelines of the g twenty summit in argentina this weekend but what have they actually agreed to let's take a look. for months there was little or

no i did it not in saudi arabia or certainly. an exaggeration suits very much a proxy war although now there certainly are rolled up essent there is certainly a strong domestic logic to a lot of its violence that being said you certainly know strong a strong chance that. you know if they don't like the way things are going you can see the country that was a prop the saudis have said these are the pollution they are taught fully although remains to be seen with that watch me obviously you still have military earning on the ground and certain things particularly a move towards or to create it could really potentially. throw the talks off. so there's a lot at stake and a lot still moving in the background there and i'm baron for us from the european council on foreign relations thanks very much. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news today five u.s. marines are still missing after two american nor terry planes crashed off the coast of japan during a refueling exercise. the plays the planes were based ok now are

to the rest of the opec countries and saudi arabia they really need a price of more than sixty dollars per barrel in order to balance their their into their budget their spending plans russia is in a different position you know they actually would prefer probably the price around where it is now they don't like the oil price being too high because it strengthens the ruble and then makes their other exports less less attractive spencer welsh from i.h.s. market in london thanks for your perspective. thank you it is a milestone for millions of cubans as today they'll be able to access the internet on their mobile phones with a new three g. network is one of the wealth least connected countries in five years ago the internet was largely only available at the island tourist hotels but that's about to change. cuba is like far behind most countries in web access whether because of a lack of cash for a long running u.s. trade embargo or government fears about the flow of information but with public wi-fi hotspots cyber cafes and slowly hooking up homes to the web havana has made connectivity a

has lost its patience with with saudi arabia is it really the u.s. congress that has lost its patience to be the u.s. president still continues to. britain he really doesn't say anything about the war you're right you're right there is certainly a difference but nevertheless i think also for president trump and his administration they feel the pressure though they don't admit it for now but they feel the pressure that they have to act on this and finding a way out of this war in yemen which needs to end anyhow would probably a face saving solution and probably even a way to legitimize his compromising and sympathetic stance on the saudi crown prince we will see as always you know you're going to see if you should have any thank you. all right take a good look and it is drawing to a close here in germany chance i'm going to america tomorrow will step down as chair of her conservative c.d.u. party after eight years and in an unusual move she will no longer be party leader but she will remain chancellor until her term ends in twenty twenty one if all go

president donald trump has urged saudi arabia opaques defacto leader to refrain from output cuts in order to keep oil prices low but that is not in opec's interests it might through drivers but countries relying on oil exports to finance their economies on top be about current price levels for the last three months has been heading steadily downhill at the start of a job or a barrel of north sea brant crude stood at a respectable eighty six dollars by the end of november it was struggling at fifty seven dollars though it stabilized for now at sixty that's causing oil producers a lot of financial problems so much so that the organization of petroleum exporting countries has put production cuts high on the agenda of its latest vienna meeting. what we have. to do. and what you say for you or me you should be tied. to see. economics one zero one your output and supply falls prices rise. the u.s. is by far the world's largest oil producer at fourteen percent of output russia is the second largest canada's way behind all three are not opec members uniting fifteen countries opec is responsible f

which has changed the dynamic about saudi arabia's role in the war in yemen particularly in the u.s. do you think that this could be a turning point. and it isn't turning when but we have to wait and how serious western powers are and how to change the policies towards saudi arabia effect. or even a political solution and yemen but certainly. that's murder. and. change the tide against saudi arabia and wasn't in the west up to the reality in yemen and we are now seeing the u.s. congress and the u.s. senate trying to push the u.s. to withdraw from the war and also your powers. will suspend reassess our situations. there also reassessing the situation on the ground thank you so much mike a transfer we unfortunately have to leave it there specializing in yemen from the free university of berlin thank you for your insights all right and we're going to have some sports for you now football's prestigious about on dog awards will be handed out tonight to the top men's player of twenty eighteen as voted for by journalists and there are also two new awards for best young player and the women'

arabia is still strong but the russian u.s. relationship has been shaky over the past months and president putin would have wanted to talk to president trump but it hasn't happened. many people are watching the saudi prince mohammed bin salomon who seems to be shunned to a certain extent and when i was there is by their leaders is that fair it is you being punished for the murder of your mouth i showed you this study right right or well not being given a shake of hands is not the form of punishment for what he may have done or he seems to have done no it's true that few leaders can pretend that business is as usual but the mere fact that he is allowed to travel to this gathering there were rumors off an indictment in argentina of his to be apprehended but this hasn't happened so far i'm sure he will say if you travel back to riyadh but the fact that he does have this internet the international exposure isn't really a punishment given what happened inside his country on turkey we understand turning to ukraine now which is one of

cultural historical this is this is quite quite a move and of course relations with saudi arabia which is seen to be the actual head off opaque leading the cow tail haven't been so good in recent years and some analysts say that's could toss move is to a large extent symbolic a symbolic move but it's a political one as much as it is an economic one is economically it's definitely very interesting i mean when you when you ask about the impact on the oil market it probably won't be so big at first because qatar is actually just the eleventh biggest oil producer in the cartel accounting for about two percent if it's that much when it comes to oil output so on that side it's not such a big story but qatar is the world's biggest supplier producer of liquid natural gas so l. and g. and it wants to focus on that and expanding that even more together with iran and there again you have the the political impact saudi arabia and iran are the best of friends certainly not the united states and america has very big interests when it comes to l. and g. and the price of l. and g. has already dropped

can mistake the actors on the ground especially saudi arabia. and the u.a.e. . are not that much interest in conflict resolution right now they still think that they can win this war. all right let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world turkey's chief prosecutor's office has issued arrest warrants for two saudi officials believed to be involved in the killing of journalist jamal khashoggi both men are former advisers to saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin so much. british prime minister theresa may is battling to keep her brakes that plan on track as parliament continues a marathon five day debate on her deal may has already been handed a major blow her government became the first in british history to be found in contempt of parliament this asteroid refused to publish a legal report on breaks it. police have arrested dozens of people and raids across italy germany the netherlands belgium and south america in an operation against italy's drug it to the calabria based organized crime syndicate is italy's most powerful mafia or

that hasn't been a complete change in our relationship with saudi arabia no we are allies of saudi arabia we support. we completely justify and support the desire for security in that region and such we agree with that that the needs to be stability in yemen what is the way to balance those i mean is this the way to go to go about it i mean in france barely able to breathe with a little energy that they have left is this the way to go about it clearly we think the war should come to an end we think the fighting has gone on too long but the responsibility for that is for the things themselves started this conflict by occupying large areas of the country overturning the legitimate government and causing huge humanitarian suffering in the areas under their control so we would see the coalition the saudi led coalition as trying to put right right or wrong that was done through more than three years ago we now think it is time to move from a military campaign to a political process and we believe that the efforts of the we should all be supporting the efforts of the u.n. special envoy and in t

saudi arabia says it's quote not confident that an agreement on oil output cuts can be reached as oil producing nations in the opec cartel continue their latest bi annual meeting on friday member states want to meet with russia to negotiate its position u.s. president all trump has urged saudi arabia to refrain from lowering output in order to keep oil prices low. the decisions made by these people will be felt by anyone with a car at the petrol pumps the opec oil ministers and representatives meeting in vienna are focused on one subject put cuts for crude oil the idea is to drive the price for oil back up after three months light during that time the price of a barrel of crude has fallen from eighty six dollars at the beginning of october to around sixty dollars now that's hurting countries that rely on oil revenues to finance their economies we hope to come in for a minute with or. reduces would contribute. equally good across the board. so far from my the consultations with colleagues we have not reached with. iran could prove to be a stumbling block for years sanctions on the coun

saudi arabia accuses qatar of having to close a relationship with its large enemy iran saudi arabia the main opec member country and other arab countries also accuse katar of supporting radical islamist groups last year the political crisis in the gulf region had become so acute that several neighboring countries imposed a traffic and trade blockade on kotter so cutter wants to invest in its gas production instead the south pars gas field off its coast which is also used by iran looks like the emirates future now they want to increase gas production from seventy seven to one hundred ten million tons by twenty twenty four. meanwhile the organization of petroleum exporting countries and non opec countries have agreed to reduce oil production. the oil cartel has agreed on a reduction of about eight hundred thousand barrels per day according to reports from vienna. the decision was preceded by two days of intense negotiations. the mcallen government has made further concessions to the yellow vests protesters the planned increase of an eco tax on gasoline and diesel will be suspended for the
