to start sanctions more meaningful sanctions than it already has against saudi arabia and it seems to me that ministration wants to offer a yemen truce all perhaps even peace negotiations in order not to sanction saudi arabia and to its middle east policy regarding especially regarding iran ok so we have new pressure from the united states the yemen conflict is widely considered a proxy war between saudi arabia and iran what motivation would either or both of these are and the fighting was saudi arabia has the motive that it is absolutely dependent militarily diplomatically on the united states without united states military support saudi arabia cond keep up. for i would say more than two or three weeks on the other hand i do not see it. i do not see the war as a proxy war the rani an influence on the forty rebels in the country is not really strong we hardly have an iranian presence we do have a presence perhaps. doesn't military advisers. see the conflict between the two richest states the richest in the region namely saudi arabia and the u.a.e. . which are to some extent. supported

arabia you know on the campaign trail the president often said why wouldn't i love saudi arabia they give me tens of millions of dollars and since this murder of jamal khashoggi he's come out and said i have no business dealings at all with saudi arabia there are questions about his son in law and whether his real state empire has received some funding from saudi sources and in the house say they are going to be looking into all of that and they have tremendous power to do that they have the power of subpoena so and the financial records they want they can demand they see that he was. always patient data has to come back to the house to give further briefings because some of the some of the senators and others have been unhappy that they weren't able to listen in to sevens. depends on how how much they dig in on that we see senator rand paul say no this is unacceptable you can't just brief it does happen though i think we should point out that there are times that there's information that the cia consider so sensitive it really only a hand selected member and certain committee member

us first about this new application to the court by saudi arabia by turkey's chief prosecutor on it. yes fully we have just learned from government sources that a letter has been addressed actually an application has been sent by the acting chief prosecutor has sent in the miles to the penal code asking for the asking for the arrest for an arrest warrant to be shewed for. the who is senior adviser in the in the police in saudi arabia and syria who is deputy chief of the intelligence they are the two men are close aides to crown prince mohammed bin sandman and to king said man and they have been mentioned by the saudi prosecuting prosecution itself people who were part of the plan of the sent the fifteen men that hit squad here to turkey to deal with. and the prosecution according to the text of the letter say they have relied on that information from the saudi prosecution to involve these men and they could the interesting part of it is that the turkish prosecution believes that these men are only a part of the planning and the list we understand that it is not conclusive when the se

arabia but the special relationship with the saudis. the arms sales and the u.s. support really have been called into question the drug use is it remains firm in its support for the saudi government ever terms the old zero washington. right now and matthew bryza who's a former white house official he's now a known resident senior fellow at the atlantic council's eurasia center and he's joining us live now from istanbul thanks for talking to us it is now just past two months since the murder of jamal khashoggi in the city way you on the how do you get a sense that there is an element of perhaps this variation on the part of the turkish authorities to keep this issue alive and on the front burner i don't know if there's a sense of desperation but there certainly is an urgent desire to prevent this whole issue from being swept under the rug the ok perhaps confidantes visit was long scheduled or was a reciprocal reciprocal gesture to the cia director hostile to ankara but the fact that he briefed u.s. senators about turkish intelligence on

relationship with saudi arabia. the last time the president spoke on the issue was on november 21 when he said this. >> the cia has looked at it. they studied a lot. they have nothing definitive. maybe he did, maybe he didn't it we are with saudi arabia. we are staying with saudi arabia. >> columnist to take a stand growing louder. senator lindsey graham this morning on sunday morning futures. >> a vote in the setting untrained senate saying he was complicit. i will never support any more armed sales to saudi arabia. the crowd prince is a wrecking ball. i think that the guy is crazy. >> senator graham may have support to nikki haley. in an interview with the atlantic, the administration needs to decide whether the crowd prince needs to be held accountable. she said you have government officials that did this in a saudi consulate. they do not get a pass. we cannot ever say it is okay. we can never support this behavior we have to say that. it has drawn criticism about the president's ties to saudi arabia the new york

some congressmen are planning to launch a full review over foreign policy with saudi arabia. we have requests from state leaders from the united nations and the chairman of the human rights committee said that a u.n. investigation must be started we have spoken to our counterparts at the u.n. and others about this topic and we continue to consult each other it will be necessary for this to go through to the u.n. security council however a commission can be set up by the secretary general to investigate the human rights aspects of this matter. oil workers in bonn have started a three day strike in protest of the sacking of six colleagues the wall counties that the french oil company total government produces about two hundred thousand barrels of crude oil a day but thousands of workers have been laid off as the oil prices fall and workers demanding higher pay and better working conditions held enough to strike back in july. funny time government is lifting its ban on opposition parties for a general election next year voting has been repeatedly postponed in the nationwide poll

these vehicles to saudi arabia. al jazeera as investigative unit has discovered links between a far right movement that calls for the expulsion of muslims from europe and senior figures and one of france's main political parties in the second part of a year long investigation we found that members of marine appends party privately support a policy called remind gratian david harrison has this report. cristela she is a member of the european parliament for national rally the party led by marine le pen and until recently called the national front the she was elected to its national council at the party's congress in leave earlier this year. our undercover reporter recorded her as a bargain by a far right movement known as generation identity that was essential to get it looked into and there's other aspects but there's not a slam on us about atmospherics need to know. that they did before she's the leverage now aren't we all now in the. room ready again oh yes generation identity is europe's fastest growing fall right

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

that what's going on is that in fact saudi arabia as was just mentioned by your previous guest saudi arabia increased its all production and i think that now the sacrifice the saudi arabia is supposed to be making is not really any kind of a sacrifice because it increases all production by quite a bit earlier this year and so when you take that from a base to cut back from that base is not that much of a sacrifice i think that when i look at the history of opec. i can tell you that i don't think that this decision will do very much opec has never been able to. not sheep to be able to stick together and now we're really talking more about not just opec but opec including not opec so i don't think this will have that much of an effect on prices i think what's much much more important in this room of things is the state of the world economy if in fact what happens to the money i think right now is the key where you are in the u.s. has a nascar what about the trump factor in all of this and we know we know the u.s. president has been tweeting about and wanting to keep prices low yet the

weapons sales the saudi arabia the trumpet ministration already had two and the refueling of saudi u.a. e. warplanes bombing yemen under congressional pressure a bunch of lobbying firms drop saudi arabia like a hot potato they had a low profile head of this senate vote and basically gave up lobbying the senate understanding that they that they have no credibility with the senate now so there's been a real shift you know the united states doesn't need the money from the weapons deals maybe you know racing on and boeing and lockheed martin do but the u.s. economy doesn't even majority in congress doesn't need that so yes the lobbying the money the lobbying that has certainly had a big effect by now up until now now there's been a sea change now congress and public opinion is seen as to the fact that the u.s. has been enabling the saudi regime and deliberately creating a famine in yemen deliberately creating the worst humanitarian crisis in the world with the worst cholera outbreak in human history with the deliberate blockade keeping food fuel and medicine out of yemen so there has been

arabia this is the only land border this country has which has been blockaded by saudi arabia the united arab emirates and behind three of the six members of the gulf cooperation council who are meeting in riyadh they have been discussing various ways of cooperation and try to keep this you alive a very rare success story between these members of the middle east that has been ongoing since one nine hundred eighty one but has been facing a lot of difficulties since the blockade of gaza began it is also happening on the backdrop where journalists jamal khashoggi was murdered by agents of the saudi government where saudi arabia is also facing internal and external pressure and at the backdrop of qatar leaving the oil producing club opec as well but are insisting that its decision was based on wanting to explore more gas than any politics but the future of the g.c.c. still continues to hang in the balance of where the blockading nations saying that they are confident that this this crisis is not going to change the future of this six member cooperation council but everyone else looking at it

it's a very different situation from saudi arabia. you have to take into the fact that the russian government for example doesn't really control its all industry that there are some or all firms some of the our state owned some of the arms are private oil companies and they are kind of more reluctant to to abide by a goldman decisions which is not the case in saudi arabia for example where you have one big companies odio enco which is the the only supplier to the market and which is under the control of the government so it's more difficult for the russian government to convene. to convince. other companies like that to to to cut the oil supply or to to keep their volume at the current level there is another reason is that the budget for example is. almost balanced right now with this oil price which at sixty dollars between fifty and sixty dollars for russia it's not a bad situation and that's what president putin say because there is this idea to put all the extra money from oil in a separate fund and to mother ship very in a very c

to saudi arabia from two thousand and one to two day around about three billion. euro or so there is a lack in political will to in the movement to stop this really stop this export and all true the companies and italy on sunday and so for south africa to explore the weapon still there is a ban on exporting that's a bit cynic to my mind and martin what do you make of the findings that the german firms are still selling arms there. you know i think. that is. very sunny and as well if that happened some research and it was found out that there is some of the german specificially working at the convent in saudi arabia which you know want even to start. from cooperation with the south african dependence of going with so this is a way how export relations are even abuse and so i think there should be new and better regulations and the companies like. and tecla really should be regulated if the political will will be there the german government and all the possibilities to it if we look at the political will though anglo-american she has slapped the ban on weapons expor

do you think would actually have any real impact on the american policy with saudi arabia. well you know the western democracy both in the u.k. and the us in the last week i'm just shown how vulnerable those political systems are in the sense to neither neither country can seem to get their their ships in order houses in order and delaying votes by those who are rightfully elected into the parliament or into the us case into congress delaying the ability for people to speak or to take action is not a very democratic part of the process now and your question specifically when this comes back sort of discussion if it's just for discussion next year very well may pass very well may stop some of these sales and some of these involvements with yemen but this is a war that the united states has been very entrenched and for several years and for people to now come to the table and say it has to stop you know this is obviously connected to the murder of a journalist but it does make you wonder if the resolution does go through will the united states still be operating behind the sc

arabia and the non opec heavyweight russia saudi arabia has been leading the calls to trim the supply of oil and tackle the global oversupply but there are several members of opec who like the price is exactly where they are and then there's russia which is concerned that opec is flipping and flopping every time it meets analysts point to the different priorities of the two big producers. i feel as though that possibly russia will a higher price than s. that the necessarily saudis do and that could create some deal tension there. just through them there are reasons for the comments and through the general feeling of the market on pretty sure that if you look at the russian economy it certainly needs a stronger crude prasada saudi arabia of course but overall i think that the russian economy is probably not doing as well as what the saudis are doing. ministerial meetings have been taking place ahead of thursday's gathering in vienna a tentative consensus for some kind of supply cap is believed to be taking shape but deciding which countries will limit output and by how much it looks li

saudi arabia reduced the funding it's been giving to jordan but jordan struggling economy needs saudi investment despite saudi's economic influence there are jordanians who object to the crown prince's visit many don't want to speak openly in case their government identifies them. i think the goal of his visit is to improve his image by gathering alliances i think saudi arabia is blackmailing jordan because jordan needs saudi money but i think this is making jordanians on the government very angry the ground prince's tour is being regarded as an effort to bolster support for the saudi version of events in istanbul of the murder of journalist. and the saudi and amorality led coalition's war in yemen jordan has firmly declared itself a saudi ally but the official response to bin solomon's arrival appears subdued rob matheson al-jazeera amman jordan next to the war in yemen and fifty injured who think fighters will be evacuated on monday for treatment and i'm on the capital muscat the saudi immorality led coalition has confirmed that it will allow the wounded who is to fly out on a unite

but now the us, russia and saudi arabia have objected to the conference ‘welcoming' it. caroline rigby has more. chanting: wake up! wake up! as delegates met inside the conference centre, thousands marched outside, demanding politicians wake up to the threat of climate change, voicing concerns that time is running out. we need to do something now, we need action right now. not tomorrow, not in 11 years, but now. and yet another spanner in the works — one which threatens to derail progress on tackling global warming. in october, the un's intergovernmental panel on climate change detailed the importance of keeping global temperature rise to under 1.5 celsius. in a major report, it warns we have just 12 years to halve carbon emissions or risk significant and dangerous changes to our world. and despite being commissioned by this very un climate body at its conference in 2015, efforts to recognise the report's significance have run into difficulty. saudi arabia, the united states and russia have refused to welcome the text, merely wanting to take note of it instead and with

investigation a so-called saudi investigation perceived they don't think that saudi arabia is serious about it they don't think that's. that it will take any tangible official measures against the any of those suspects and they think that the only natural way ahead is to put international pressure and to try to get those two suspects at least to be handed over to be extradited as it's very unlikely because congress will have the same man gets his cues from president trump president trump has supported him all along and he has not yet commented on those revelations over the night by the cia chief to a group of senators who all came out from that briefing say they have no shadow of a doubt about the mohammed the same man who was behind the plotting and the execution of the plot to kill. mohammed thanks very much. mohammed was mentioning there the two suspects are close advisors to the crown prince mohammed bin cell man so it all qahtani has held several positions in the saudi royal court he's accused of leading the hit team that traveled to istanbul to kill general brigadier general . w

a must take a tougher stance against saudi arabia in the wake of jamal because. to me it is a defining moment for us as a nation for the future of saudi arabia and for the mideast in general there are a lot of that actors in the mideast we just don't need to condone any more than we have to. and this is a situation where you don't have to they need us a lot more than we need them the relationship paul valuable in the past has become too much of a burden and as long as india says around. don't think it will ever be normal again well al-jazeera castro is live for us from washington d.c. heidi they've already been a few procedural votes how's it all progressing that's right it looks like the final vote may not happen until tomorrow morning but with the bipartisan majorities those procedural votes have cleared those hurdles so the final vote is expected to be yes come morning and when and if that happens this will make u.s. history it would be the first time that the war powers act of one nine hundred seventy three has been enacted that act stipulates that it is only

is walking when dealing with saudi arabia. in a u n security council resolution making it basically into defacto into law whereby the saudis and they are this going to have to abide by it so it's very important for the un security council to rush towards the trying the agreements in sweden into those illusion this way it would be respected by the all parties all the parties especially those who were planning an attack. on iran had they the notably the iraqis and the saudis but again even that would still be the first death the worse the longer route the worse recovery and the worse was addition i think that's why i think that's why the secretary general and the special envoy would go out of their way to thank someone everyone knows including that both of them that is responsible for the tragedy of yemen to the which is come of this of mine because unlike him they're not going to hold yemen hostage to a political calculus now they're say let's resolve the image then crisis even if it means gesturing towards the saudi crown prin

arabia the hope that they could put further pressure on the saudis and the emirate is to push them to set aside all those differences and push for a political way are to the crisis if that happens here that could be really good news for the people of yemen we're talking about forty million the amount is on the brink of famine two million children who face severe malnutrition thousands who have been driven out of their homes and. thousands stranded in the border areas quite a delicate situation for the yemenis and a mammoth task for the international community so what are the chances then hashem in sweden of a breakthrough on the sticking points that is of course on things like a ceasefire in the port city of daytime or a transitional government is there hope that they can reach an agreement on some of the sticking points. a folly. most likely the united nations special envoy martin griffiths is going to have to change that tact gone are the days when the u.n. would come to geneva stockholm or other places and say we need to talk about a transitional government authority and then to th

to take firm action against saudi arabia a report in a u.s. newspaper the wall street journal claims to seen details of eleven messages the saudi royal sent his closest adviser who oversaw the so-called hit team in istanbul the newspaper says this led the cia a america's intelligence agency to conclude mohammed bin someone likely ordered the martyr but america's secretary of state says they still stand by the crime prints i have read every piece of intelligence that is in the possession of the united states government and when it is done when you complete that analysis there is no direct evidence linking him to the murder of the thirty crime prince was never going to be ignored or shunned i think gathering of the world's twenty largest economies their diplomatic niceties to be. the real test will be in weeks to come as countries reexamine their relationship with saudi arabia and the man who is effectively in charge. alan fischer al-jazeera at the g twenty and its french president emmanuel macron flies home from the g twenty to contend with the

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

saudi arabia has denounced a position by the u.s. senate accusing its crown prince of ordering the matter of john. the foreign ministry calls it blatant interference in its internal affairs it describes the killing as a crime that doesn't reflect saudi policy. thousands of people have been protesting in hungary as capital budapest against what's been called a slave law it's the fourth demonstration this week against the employment reforms of victor all white government journalist benjamin novak has been at the protests in budapest he says the demonstrations are being driven by young people. it's a real mixed bag you have people from the far right all the way to the left it's primarily young people so this is very this is this is very strange compared to previous protests to be tatted concrete so it's a lot of young people coming from all sides of the political spectrum and they seem to have joined together in expressing their distaste in a year at the orbit regime and i based on the conversations i've had with young people in this cr

murder and the international attention that created which caused an increased focus on saudi arabia and its role in its policies not just to best to cleave but abroad as well the more their international supporters like the united states and the united kingdom pull back from their support of the saudi coalition that will create not only military pressure on the saudi coalition but also political pressure to come to a political resolution and do you think the the saudi authorities really care about the political pressure they do care and they can't act alone and they do need the international support the international legitimacy the international cover that the united states and united kingdom in particular have provided to them in this war. the fall of the liberators so be hard at work to figure out whether a top level bugs debate in the u.k. parliament featured a new soldier this is the comment people are asking whether opposition leaders would be cool but mothers stupid woman during a moment with prime minister to reason may have a look you saw. it is would be the responsible position

i'm very glad that saudi arabia. emirates have now promised to pay that bill but i think there's no avoiding the reality that the bill is actually being paid for by the people of yemen and the people of yemen who died under saudi arabia's and the emmer audi's indiscriminate bombardment of the country. a lot of people like to use the word to let go smaug very good analogy but when we have cell towers on every to every big building when we are going to put these five g. generators on every light pole on every street it is certainly electro small and it's getting worse. my world became smaller and smaller and smaller until i ended up winning it in a box and in a shielded room we the same person that was helping us to shield found the right material to hold back that particular frequency that was coming in and burning my skin and we built a room it looks like a little foil but it's not it's three layers thickens like a very very fine chicken wire in the middle of it there were days that i didn't know it the sun came up t

arabia but not deal with the crown prince himself he could issue sanctions against saudi arabia he could stop ongoing military say sales of thing that he says he does not want to do and he could stop aid to the saudi war in yemen right now the administration doesn't want to do any of those things but on capitol hill there is already a bill that has gone past the preliminary stage with overwhelming support that would invoke the war powers act something that hasn't ever been used it was an act in one thousand nine hundred seventy three in the wake of the vietnam war and it allows congress to stop a war that the president has pursued without their authorization now the president is going to have to act here exactly which of those are options he will take or whether he'll simply offer a message of condemnation and hope that is enough that remains to be seen there and right to john hendren live for us at the white house john thank you. well john jones the form a senior congressional advisor he says it's rare to see sentences from across the aisle and united over an issue. well it's apparent t
