and get your support now with paul laura thank you very much the biggest fights in the u.f.c. history descended into chaos in las vegas could be of no may go but of beat khana mcgregor but then jumped into the crowd and started a brawl which led to several arrests the undefeated russian hockey stanley cup he was defending his lightweight cycle against mcgregor the biggest sports in the name biggest name in the sports turning after a two year absence mcgregor was second best the whole way and the argument tapped out in the fourth round but that's when the real drama started last control jumped over the cage and sets off a brawl by attacking mcgregor's team while this grainy mobile phone footage shows the moment having jumped into the crowd was trying to get someone of the greatest sparring partners there was a scuffle on punches thrown a security trying to break it up. and while that was going on two men one wearing a red t. shirts apparently from company entourage jumped into the cage and sucker punch

mcgregor from behind mcgregor tried to defend himself before things eventually calm down. knowledge has refused to give his belt in the ring to avoid inciting the crowd further. other fighters were schooled to back to the dressing rooms u.f.c. president dana white said three of them were arrested but released after mcgregor said he did not want to press charges of beebs fight purse is being held pending an investigation by the nevada athletic commission he could still be stripped of his title. and about an hour later came out of the dressing room with his belt and apologized. i want to say so. and so. i know this is not my place and this is not like this you know i've been. like i don't understand how people could talk about i jump on the occasional one about you don't complain about my religion you talk about my counter you talk about

my father he counted broken broke boss you almost a couple people want to hold these you cannot talk about religion you cannot talk about national. guys you cannot talk about this and you know this is for me is that important well after the fights we spoke to a mixed martial arts right to john morgan it was just next to the brawl he said that was sadness that a great contest had been overshadowed and that the usa had to look at how the fight build up had strayed into religious and ethnic insults you know i definitely think there's some lessons to be taken from this and you know i asked the president a white about this in the post in a press conference you know whether or not he thought maybe a hint of regret or or maybe thinks that we need to change the need for the way this fight mode because it was very much about family about religion about nationalities about all these things and i think it went a little overboard it times and it was very real i mean it wasn't made up by any stretch the imaginations of two people that do not like each other were basically

trying to look at any opportunity they could to hurt the other one. but i think that that sometimes can go overboard i don't know that you can stop people from promoting fights this way but i think there's a lesson for everybody to be learned. that some of these things you say it's not just about by promotion you know it runs deeper than that when you start start getting into religion in beliefs and cultures and races and things long island you have to be very very careful when you trade there because it's it's more than a fight at that point. lewis hamilton has edged closer to a fifth formula one world championship with victory at the japanese groom prix the miss a driver started from pole and was untroubled at the front of the pack. cycle rival sebastian vettel struggled to climb up from ninth to six time going with max for stop in but it was hamilton who took the onus at suzuka from team might fall terry bought house he now leads by sixty seven points from vettel with four races and one hundred points remaining. so i was trying

lucky lucky lucky . turkish authorities believe a prominent journalist may have been murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. and i'm fully back to watching al jazeera live from my headquarters in doha also ahead the number of people missing after indonesia's earthquake and tsunami rises

dramatically. brazilians go to the polls basically divided over who should lead their nation will be live in sao paolo and it's also election day in cameroon where one of africa's longest serving meat is is seeking a seventh time. thank you for joining us turkish authorities believe is saudi journalist missing since tuesday has been killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul jamal khashoggi disappeared five days ago after entering the building to pick up marriage paperwork that officials told watches that police believe the murder was premeditated and the body moved out of the building saudi arabia denies all of those allegations would begin with this report from to monitor in istanbul. jamal hershel g. has been missing for five days the well known saudi journalist was last seen

entering his country's consulate in istanbul on true's day and hasn't in march since friends and colleagues from around the world now fear the worst off that serco security officials said late on saturday that they were treating crush of his disappearance as a murder investigation they said he entered a consulate and he left and we don't know what happened but his wife was out there so he didn't leave so that's a that's a fact and i think your story will probably be true that he didn't leave because the video which you'll see there in a few days i mean it's just not credible and i think anybody who has a sense of decency should understand that this is something not acceptable it's not acceptable to a citizen because it's new due to a different country and just abducted or whatever i mean that was the operation i don't know kushal she was the former editor in chief of saudi media outlets on the top and then what on and was close to members of the saudi royal family last year however and after the rise of crown prince mohammed bin said a man was banned from writing allegedly because of his comments on the kingdom's

relationship with u.s. presidents donald trump. shortly after she fled his homeland to live in self-imposed exile in washington he was not necessarily a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul it's around one pm on tuesday several hours later a saudi official told his fiance who was waiting outside that he wasn't in the building turkish security sources say a group of saudi officials flew into stumble on the day of his disappearance and were at the consulates when herschel she was there three days later turkey's foreign ministry summoned saudi arabia's ambassador to ankara and crown prince mohammed bin some months a turkish police could search the saudi consulates they then invited journalists in

to show cultural jew was not there after turkish police announced they were conducting a murder investigation saudi arabia state news agency denied accusations that he was murdered in their consulate. the washington post which control she wrote opinion pieces for said if the reports of jamal's murder a true it's a monstrous and unfathomable act jamal was as we hope is a committed courageous journalist the disappearance of question she is adding further strain to turkish saudi relations with officials here saying they will be releasing security camera video and other evidence if an acceptable explanation from the saudis isn't forthcoming and to manage china joins us now live from istanbul with the very latest president type bedouin has been speaking about the disappearance of gemma and he's being very cautious. diplomatic indeed is how i would describe the president in the statement after

a very long speech to party members and crowd the end of true de. vere he did make a couple of references to the case of missing journalist john g. he said it was very sad that a situation like this has happened on turkish soil but that he remained he had optimistic feelings as to how things would come what happened it was a bit of an ambiguous statements there obviously it seems that the president is continuing in the attempts by his government to try and find a strike a diplomatic tone with regards to this case from the very beginning since jamal khashoggi went missing after entering that concert on tuesday the officials here have been trying to find a way out of this whereby there isn't or at least maybe to minimize me if they can't over it's totally a diplomatic fallout between them and riyadh and it seems this latest payment from the president is exactly that are turkish authorities jim are providing any

evidence any more information that was indeed merited inside the turkish consulate . well so far the closest we've had is them saying that their conclusion to us and this was by two different sources of the who didn't want to identify themselves was that their conclusion is that he had been murdered the prosecutor's office says it has opened a murder investigation but in terms of evidence folley the most information we had was in a space in the space of about two or three hours late on saturday whereby first they disclosed that group of fifteen saudi nationals had arrived on two separate airplanes and then gone to the consulates whilst he was there and then very quickly left not only the consulate building but also the country as well as the information they had in terms of they said that they had possessed security footage c.c.t.v. footage rather of entrances and exits through the consulate but in terms of clear cut evidence the reality is as the famous saying goes at least in the arab world is

there's no murder without a body and obviously that is something that has failed to emerge yet the understanding is that the turks are trying to give the saudis a chance to come forth with what has happened if that does not happen then they said within forty eight hours and this was late on saturday these are the forty eight hours they will then disclose all the evidence they have but regardless of. the exact details of the of this incident not emerging the fear that is grown amongst most people who have been speaking to difference officials is that. she would have had been killed by by operatives in the consulates thank you very much for that as shi'a life for us in istanbul turkey now here we spoke with yaseen taylor who is the advisor to the ruling ak party chairman in turkey. we hope of course. even if it is

a very very low possibility you know that he is alive with some signs of something which which is which is referring to the total sum of all it is even if the if it is unknown no names are saying that he has been killed and we hope of course as turkish cites turkish government as he mentioned just a few minutes ago. that the wondered if they were gone so we are still hoping that something unexpected things not to happen to all the clues or evidences about about. are now at hand and of course these will be the evaluated in a proper way and in the best way and the information or the collaboration will be made by of course by the authorities by the. book by the sequel to authorities of the. as we heard jamal khashoggi is a contributing writer for the washington post let's bring in gabriel elizondo in

washington now for us any reaction at all to the case of this missing saudi journalist from the u.s. state department. as soon as we heard these reports late saturday that these reports that he could have been killed at the hands of the saudis this is the reports we immediately reached out to the state department and done so several times both late saturday and into early sunday as well if the state department or the u.s. government knows anything they're not telling us they're keeping very close to lips on and we asked them specifically to respond and they said quote we are not in a position to confirm these reports but we are closely following the situation in quote that is all the reaction we're getting from the state department so far but make no mistake that the saudi government the u.s. government have very close relations right now so there is nothing preventing the different security apparatuses or governments from talking to each other that's for

sure and he was very well known here in the united states particularly in new york and particularly in washington d.c. let's not forget that he was a u.s. or is i should say a u.s. resident after living here after self-imposed exile from saudi arabia he spoke at many different i think tanks many conferences in the u.s. and of course as you mention as well as a columnist for one of the most important and powerful newspapers in the entire united states certainly in this city the washington post fred hiatt to the editorial page editor for the washington post issued a statement late saturday that read in part jamal was or as we hope is a committed courageous journalist he writes out of a sense of love for his country and deep faith in human dignity and freedom that was part of the statement by the editorial page editor of the washington post so a lot of people watching this very closely but as of now no official comment from

the state department or anyone in the u.s. government confirming these reports thank you for that gaven is on don't live for us in washington d.c. . in other world news indonesia's relief spokesman says that as many as five thousand people may be missing from last week's earthquake and tsunami onsen away sea island that figure is significantly higher than the one thousand that officials initially estimated to be buried beneath the rubble that disaster relief spokesman also announced that the search for victims were and on thursday at this point they will be listed as missing presumed dead when he has more from panel now on the difficulties medical professionals are facing in the aftermath of the disaster. hospitals in central sulawesi is struggling to cope following the earthquake and tsunami many patients have to wait in stiflingly hot tents with limited medical equipment to treat them most of the doctors and nurses are gone this is one of the largest hospitals in palu and is operating with around ten percent of its original

start. of what we're trying to call the staff to get them to come back and then we'll be able to identify we're still here. and all we lost over to the disaster the democrats shows what the medical workers had to deal with on the night of the disaster it's that there are around thirty people still unaccounted for inside this building including hospital staff and patients there are so many bodies still buried in mud and beneath rubble around the disaster areas that it's increasingly becoming a health concern particularly for the search teams handling the decomposing bodies and body parts exposes the recovery workers to diseases such as tuberculosis and cholera the disaster has also left more than sixty thousand homeless many are living in the open where rubbish is not being collected and there are no toilets doctors say they are starting to see an increase in diarrhea and skin rashes.
