In his country. Hello welcome to all jazeera live from doha and its also coming up. Russia is wasting our time. A second veto in todays russia block a u. N. Resolution which would have extended the investigation into Chemical Attacks in syria. Pressure builds on Robert Mugabe to quit as tens of thousands of zimbabweans are expected to march in support of the army. Climate talks in bone and with progress on Technical Details but the u. S. Pushes back on moves to ban fossil fuel. Lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri has now arrived in paris two weeks after he unexpectedly announced his resignation in the saudi capital now he landed at the paris airport in the bush a on saturday morning his resignation in riyadh was on november the fourth in which he said that he feared for his life and he blamed iran for setting tension in the region his two week stay in the saudi kingdom prompted suggestions that he was under house arrest lebanons president has said he wont accept mr hariri as resignation until he returns to beirut lets talk to our correspondent in beirut now saying the harder this is saad hariri has now landed in paris what are the signs that were looking for. Well yes sagal how do you the landed in paris a short while ago hes now at his residence here arrived there with his wife what we understand is that they were not accompanied by their children two of his children stayed behind in riyadh what we understand the reason behind that is that they have School Examinations now that is going to raise a lot of questions because some in lebanon will definitely say that one way or another saddle had to do remain some sort of a political hostage really this invitation from the french president for saddle how do you need to visit paris in one way or another and the diplomatic turmoil over saddle how to use fate because many in lebanon including the president accuse saudi arabia of holding him and his family hostage and they were demanding that he leaves the country how did he in a tweet just before boarding the plane to paris said actually addressed the tweet to the German Foreign minister saying i have to say that i was held up in saudi arabia is not true that is a lie he addressed that tweet to the German Foreign minister because there seems to be a diplomatic crisis now between germany and saudi arabia saudi arabia recall and its ambassador from berlin because of those statements so you know in his tweet saudi officials denying that to he you know saying that he is a free man but very few in lebanon believe that is the case but the fact that he is now in paris in one way or another solves one crisis the crisis over his well being and his fate but definitely the crisis is not over absolutely because still the lebanese president michel and insists that mr hariri is still his Prime Minister until such time as he turns up in beirut and submit his resignation according to procedure. Yes this is the position in lebannon saddle how did he need to return to lebanon submitters resignation and in person and hold discussions with the president because they believe that he didnt even write his resignation speech that is the feeling here and even the french president said that he will be receiving the Prime Minister today at the elysee palace as a Prime Minister because his country does not accept his resignation so what is going to happen next we dont even know if and when heidi will be returning to beirut there have been reports that he is coming to beirut mccrone himself saying he might come in days and weeks i mean we were expecting him to arrive in lebanon and days now there is a question that he could be here in weeks theres also reports that he could tour arab capitals before coming to beirut and what happens when he comes to beirut is he going to insist on stepping down or is he going to insist on withdrawing his resignations and attaching conditions to that like hezbollah you know disarming hezbollah disengaging itself from regional conflicts and that is not going to happen easily especially as a saudi demand so the crisis is still not over but saddle had the meeting the french president later today and maybe we will hear some Public Comments to understand what is happening ok for now thank you very much indeed the harder live in beirut of course will keep us right across all the details of this developing story today the u. N. Team investigating the use of chemical weapons in syria is to be disbanded after russia vetoed a resolution which would have extended its mission. More now from our diplomatic editor james spays in new york. Of the draft resolution containing document slash two thousand and seventeen slash nine seven zero please raise the hand those against. It seems this was the moment that investigations into who carried out Chemical Attacks in syria ended and eleventh russian veto on the side of the Assad Government leading to this angry rebuke from the u. S. Ambassador in a world in which the Councils Time and attention could be productively devoted to one hundred Different Things russia is wasting our time conflicts are raging outlaw states are acquiring Nuclear Weapons the Human Dignity of millions is violated every day brutal regimes are using chemical weapons on their own people this was russias reply new war bird linnaeus a medal an extension of the gyms mandate for us is possible only a fundamental flaws in its work are rectified this was probably the last chance to save the International Investigation tasked with working out who was responsible for Chemical Attacks in syria but it follows two rival resolutions both voted on on thursday both of which failed to pass. There been frantic negotiations ever since to save the syrian investigation known as the joint investigation mechanism or in un speak the gym most of the victims be said absolutely to be frank i dont think so. But im much so that the gym is dead. I think it was that yesterday all the u. N. Officials including the secretary general have been following the negotiations closely the secretary general kimmitt jim be saved. Trying to solve the problem. They failed and although some are calling for further negotiations many diplomats believe that the investigation mechanism created by the Security Council has now effectively come to an end there are implications for the wider fight against weapons of mass destruction and possible repercussions for the political talks on syria due to start in geneva in just over a week james zero at the United Nations our lets go live now to some of interviewed our correspondent whos in gaziantep thats on the turkey syria border anderson or a bad tempered Security Council session leading to the end effectively of this mechanism what does it actually mean for syrians. Well syrians who weve been speaking to say that it doesnt mean much at all they say this joint investigative mechanism has been in place since two thousand and fifteen not just once but multiple times the Assad Government has been found responsible for carrying out these attacks but the International Community has done nothing according to activists i spoke to last night they were joking about more than eighty airstrikes which hit just the router neighborhood in the last twenty four hours they were saying that maybe the russian pilots are celebrating their win at the u. N. In the hooter because they know they are going to be no repercussions and these are conventional weapons that theyve been using and we have to make a distinction and thats been the frustrating part for many of syrians including the Syrian Opposition who say that yes the World Community goes up against these chemical weapons but what about the conventional weapons what about the weapons that are being used to wipe out neighborhoods of residential areas indiscriminately and with impunity so there is a lot of frustration and anger about not just this resolution but syrians hold the United States and the World Community equally responsible activists that weve been speaking to say that they its if the russian pilots are dropping these bombs as the syrian are pulling the trigger the United States and the rest of the entire World Community which remained silent and does nothing about the the process is equally complicit as i binge of aid live in gas and thank you.

Of the rain in greece hasnt disappeared but the intensity of all these showers is slowly dropping this is been working around for about two days drifting slowly eastwards thats what the satellite did see to have put it out on top of the overnight the rain has spread both west and east which means the center of the circulation has become a lot more dispersed now and this is the picture for saturday raining thats the less so but not entirely away from greece rather less so in southern italy to rest of europe is looking cloudy in places cold still a rainbow running through the low countries and starting more or less at london but then example of that and its a northerly breeze but not particularly cold particular if you stand in the sunshine now there is of course enough cold here that if you want to produce some snow in charge of the alps that certainly happened otherwise the area of weather which might be cold enough to snow is really on the edge of you have takes you up through into moscow maybe two to sweden so this circulation then its slowly weakening disappearing eastwards are a few showers around like inside in the gulf to see it so for libya maybe touching the across the island of crete by the time we get to sunday its still breezy but there are far far fewer sharons. Yes. Conference here at aljazeera to have a look at the top stories lebanons Prime Minister saad hariri has arrived in paris two weeks after he unexpectedly announced his resignation in the saudi capital his two week stay in saudi arabia prompted suggestions that he was under house arrest a u. N. Team investigating the use of chemical weapons in syria has now been disbanded after russia vetoed a resolution to extend its mandate the move blocked a japanese effort to have the inquiry push on for another thirty days the team is looking into attacks like the one in conscious in a. Zimbabwe. Set to hold a major demonstration against the president Robert Mugabes supporters have come from across the country the president has forces in support days after the army seize control. Of the u. N. Climate talks in the german city of bone have ended with almost two hundred countries agreeing to keep the Paris Agreement on track and that of course is despite the u. S. Pulling out and to make sure that they keep their commitment delegates agreed to start a process which would review and ramp up their efforts to cut carbon. From bone. Long into the ninetys and in this wrangling over the financial elements of the text twenty the u. N. Climate conference comes to a close im very pleased. This isnt the braunches dialogue which will start in generally twenty eighteen under the fijian presidency the spirit of these talks has been upbeat and the Paris Agreement it seems is on track so i think that were in a very good place twenty eighteen is the year to. Climate action and i think what we have here set on a good road ahead thats a lot of homework to do its not easy but i think we will and decisiveness governments governments cities states private sector to move. So progress but is it enough for those most immediately threatened by Climate Change not enough is being done its certainly not enough for the survival of the pacific and there needs to be increased ambition there needs to be a greater responsibility taken by developed countries they need to keep fossil fuels in the ground and they need to move towards a safe and Just Transition to renewable energy. Keeping fossil fuels in the ground was always on the agenda in and outside the conference wholes german coal phase out from Angela Merkel but the u. K. And canada launched an alliance of twenty nations to wind down coal use meanwhile a delegation sent by the trumpet ministration to promote culp got a predictable welcome. As a coalition of us states and cities stepped into the void to say were still in the Paris Agreement. It doesnt matter how much. We think its really fingers you really cannot stop you cannot stop me from my room reducing. So this conference has delivered what it set out to do and created a mechanism to move the Paris Agreement forward to say called telenet a dialogue before the conference a president putin and a year from now is clearly plenty of work today. Next stop is the french capital where in december president micro will host a special summit looking specifically at climate finance the Paris Agreement rolls on. Aljazeera ball in germany.
