trump and trump's discourse towards the muslim world so this is all good just to remember because he was silenced then from writing and expressing his views because of his views on a trump and the administration's policies in the greater middle east and towards the islamic world and now allegedly he might have been silent for ever by the saudis so i think the american certainly have a responsibility as the main backers of saudi arabia as president trump reminded us only a few days ago twice in fact last week that without the u.s. support without his administration's support to saudi arabia the king and the regime would not last two weeks so indeed there is a huge leverage possible from washington to words riyadh if president from wants to use that leverage and unfortunately he has has it they that since his visit at
12:01 am
the outset of his tenure two years ago he is hesitate to use any leverage against the saudis in fact he considers them his their his best friends and he's been giving them all support thank you for that. a senior political analyst at my one bashar on twitter if you want to follow him let's bring in our social media producer nadia hiding knots of reaction online to this case here lots of very strong reactions and concerns over the disappearance of jamal khashoggi on social media many are assuming that he is dead this woman here saying that i am so sorry you did not deserve this others being a bit more political like iyad here saying that if the news is true had been the world should then the world should do what it failed to do after the canada saudi spat and break ties with the saudi regime and render it the pariah regime that it deserves to be and there is an international reaction as well u.k. lawyers calling on saudi arabia to reveal the whereabouts of the disappeared
12:02 am
journalist. well the british government to do its work is doing everything within their power. to stop any attempts to deceive so he may be subject to the sort of took his jurisdiction in march the host of algiers up front program he has done he interviewed a shabby and hasn't asked me a supporter of saudi's crown prince if he would oppose being detained here's part of their interview where you come over to morrow and write a piece saying oh i think b. is doing some good stuff but here's where i disagree with him and he went to prison would you be ok with that look in the interest. of development there may be mistakes made but as someone else would you be ok with gitmo i would be ok with the president going to going to jail for saying that no absolutely not and i don't think he would but usually defend the system that would do that because the system cannot be perfect and the system cannot will make you have a caesar took a picture of i'm giving you know you are the ones who have struck you i give you
12:03 am
a specific because. that's by the way let me just add something the prison in saudi arabia is quite benign if you visit the prison or these prisons there are nothing like that dungeons up with. the standard of torture i do well david does not have a document. now even talked about islam is the problem and that's why you in quote unquote explain that to all of us. because i don't want to be listed i don't want to be. some other order the irony that he has no position doesn't have a position he doesn't have to probably burn. in afghanistan more of the peaceful most of the intellectuals most of the people in jail today support to reform and if they were out of jail they would be supporting him there is no need to list anybody . interesting to hear from her socially himself now if you know we want to know

12:05 am
round in the unlikely scenario of either men getting fifty percent of the vote they will win the presidency outright otherwise they'll be a runoff later this month let's go live to teresa ball who is outside a polling station in sao paolo how's the voting going so far where you are teresa. well for you there's hundreds of people coming to visit both in front of a university year in so probably twenty thousand people are expected to vote only in this place we know that even though it's been going smoothly here there's been some incidents all around the country around forty people have been detained because of violating electra law we also know that jade was one i dos of brazil extreme right candidate has already voted he went to hold with a bullet school and with his two sons doing that. promo says he said that he was confident of the voting and that today saying that he was confident that he was
12:06 am
going to be able to win on the first round and he also said that he was ready for brazil to establish some crucial relationships with other countries that want to help brazil in its current situation like the united states and. the workers' party candidate for a man also went to vote in it he said that he was sure that there is going to be a second round in brazil saying that more dialogue and the discussion of ideas is necessary the voting is expected to continue for about five more hours in what's the story elections for many people in brazil as some people some indigenous members for example indigenous members are indigenous communities have to travel to eighty kilometers you know in order to be able to vote ok teresa bull live for us in sao paolo thank you very much let's speak some more about this now to mark the launch of an who's the director of the brazil initiative at george washington university he's live from washington thank you very much for being with us as
12:07 am
theresa said there this is being described as the most divisive election in brazil in thirty years the disillusionment against politicians is clear will brazil know the same fate as america did in two thousand and sixteen. well it's it's a tough election and it reminds us of the one nine hundred eighty nine brazilian election between lula and fernand the cola jamila who was supposed to save brazil but certainly this kind of divisive election is really going to pit in the second round both from the right wing and from the workers' party and what we have really is a split in the electorate between those that really hate the workers' party and are aligning themselves with both sato in a fight against the workers' party and of course those that sympathize with the gains of the workers' party during the lula in june the administration people are aligning themselves with as you say because they hate the workers party i mean boss narrow is a candidate who has mrs genest excuses made racist homophobic comments and who's
12:08 am
had thousands of women protest against same and still has a favorite to win how do you explain that. great his campaign has two wings the core supporters are usually kind of middle class men who are very interested in civilian authoritarianism and see both sonata as the lynchpin of moving the country towards a more authoritarian regime that fights corruption and crime the more recent supporters those brazilian voters of come on board in the last couple weeks have seen him kind of as more of a protest vote against everything that's bad in brasilia the capital and i think he's he's able to get thirty five percent of the electorate with those two wings the real challenge is for him to move on in the second round to get a majority and that's going to be a tough fight because more and more attention will be paid towards some of the you know bombastic statements that he's made goading you know gays women afro
12:09 am
brazilians in the in the electorate let's talk about fernando had died he came into the gate game a bit late to work as party's candidate because it was a lot of hope from the party that you and i would be able to stand do you think had died benefit or suffer from sticking to a nice image. well you know little has a broad based support equal or superior to most of the auto but certainly there's an anti workers' party sentiment in the country so what he'll have to do after he gets the second place today which we expect is moved to the center surround himself by non-work or party notables policymakers politicians to show the electorate to show the undecided to show voters for marina silva suit or go in and potentially. other candidates who probably will lose today that he's willing to govern in a multi-party coalition that includes center moderate political forces in the
12:10 am
country that will be hard to do because he is attached the workers' party thank you very much for speaking to us thank you for. joining us there from washington d.c. and brazil's elections that grandson al jazeera dot com these in full graphics tell you more about what people are voting for today it's not just a presidential election and also who the top contenders off for the presidency some very useful information on that it's at al-jazeera dot com. now to cameroon where they're also voting in a presidential election africa's oldest leader president will be a is seeking a seventh term in office after thirty six years in power opposition groups spent days trying and failing to form an alliance to defeat b.-a only two of the leading opponents managed to form an electoral union at the election in cameron has been overshadowed by a crisis in the english speaking region of the country six point five million people are expected to vote but few of them are from cameron's english speaking region northwest and southwest regions secessionist rebels there have to stop the
12:11 am
polls from taking place and the government says it's calle three fighters who are trying to do just that now this is a story that we've been covering closely since a separatist movement started to gain momentum two years ago here on al-jazeera a teacher's strike in december two thousand and sixteen kicked it all off as kathleen sawyer reported from mendoza the capital of the northwest region this is how you'll find many classrooms in english speaking regions of the country's students who are about to write their national exam or worry that they won't be able to finish their curriculum but they also say that sending french teachers to the schools only makes the studies harder cameroon colonized by the french and british at the same time both our official languages there are two national school curriculums and an english speaking region separate legal systems but french has only as dominated and the roughly five million cameroonians who speak english see their language and culture has been stifled for decades now that frustration grew
12:12 am
from strikes into street protests leading to a violent government crackdown last year thousands of cameroonian spread to neighboring nigeria and al-jazeera is imo dangerous met some of them on the nigeria cameron border in january. beltre and or her six children join other refugees to move to a new settlement away from that are jacmel border this is the family's third relocation since they fled the fighting in southern ca rule many parents in this new refugee settlement for their children can soon go back to school most have missed classes since their fiber homes last year there is no school here so they will have to rely on nearby schools and the generosity of the local community and now it's all come to a head with the election this sunday earlier this week kevin morgan spoke to a government official about the crisis. the fighting in the western region which started in twenty seventeen has killed hundreds and displaced a quarter of
12:13 am
a million people the english speaking fighters who have call themselves only and say the elections want to be held in their regions but the government disagrees election will take place all over the nation. security is guaranteed to all citizens of this nation. as we've said this is a story that we've covered extensively here on the news great and be a lot of cameroonians reaching out to us on social media oh you know we've had thousands of messages and that continues throughout the year but it's incredibly impactful today what's known as for the like you said following are the large sections of the country that are not voting today it's. the mend. and many towns in anger phone parts of cameroon the streets are empty there are reports armed separatists have warned people to stay indoors or risk getting shot many of those not voting call themselves. they say amber is their
12:14 am
country not cameroon and they say they won't vote for a government that isn't theirs many angle phones want more representation in the french government a two state solution or a new country all together now on twitter i created a poll asking those in cameroon how they plan to vote the majority of my followers said that they are not going to vote but because their amazonian not cameroonian the divide between the two sides is really that strong here some of them explain the polling stations are all feel that military people is how can we vote when i walk our family and friends are leaving you know if we do comes in nigeria in the bushies people are being killed daily we cannot vote because they think their election is more important than the life of the people who are supposed to vote today i'm not going to work because i am and i'm buzzing in this
12:15 am
piece in light of the next elections. some from ngo phone cameroon don't want to new country but a union between the two sides been a key is one of them we think that president bush will be reelected but we go for his resignation he has been a total disaster for country i'm not a gauge of aged five he cannot govern this country of more than three to me. we have to actively opposed to a violent reaction following the election results but we're going to work strategically read all the communes to bring about that peaceful resignation of mr bush our correspondent have a morgan is inside cameroon covering more of the election. i'm here in the car to leo endangering them much and one thing i have noticed is that international observers are actually like their world they are not the sort of assuming they are not accepting the un and he has deployed observers that if deployed around twenty
12:16 am
with the full of revolutions divide it into temp regions so that's basically about two observers put every region and the reason why the e.u. and the un have not participated according to the e.u. would be easy because there's unrest in the south west and in most of those regions and that they would find it very hard to accept a lot of the polling stations so they're not going to come here and just rubber stamp this elections to give when he wins and more like most likely that it's president of you who's going to win the day you just want to rubber stamp his win and give it over before was open but you to see so many parts because of the country right now and the polls have been quite late some of them are not accessible to many civilians let's not forget that the anglican crescent has just placed above two hundred thousand people many of them that are here in the capital of the young days some of them into other many of them also in the bush with no access to the polling stations or voting stations so it's very hard to see how this kind of election would be considered legitimate by the international media considering the fact that they had they didn't have all those of us around and there were many people who were not able to access the polling stations have
12:17 am

12:18 am
hello once again the caspian coast has been catching shasta the biggest ones have gone through we've had lighter ones since in the systems clearly joined up and still developing further east so in two days worth of rain we've had over two hundred millimeters reports and one to two places this is north of the capital and it's the runoff from the high ground the mountains upon which to round sits now extends them up you want to two more showers but the development i think is going to be over afghanistan down where rain or snow seem likely it's cloud to the west that a lot much more the cloud i don't think temps just saying much the same we're just below forty now in baghdad and that's the sort of level that runs all it down through the gulf states no particular breeze out of it as well but coming into the coast of oman and yemen there was certainly been increasing cloud shield ahead of what looks like a developing cycle i'm not exactly sure where to go moment most likely as good
12:19 am
coming somewhere into the amman a yemeni coastline but it might go further north obviously will keep it all not significant rain is going to be the result and flash flooding of course. there have been a few showers recently running down the skeleton coast of namibia nothing dramatic but wants is there want to see more to come for a day or so at least. we're . i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have learned is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this.

12:21 am
the headlines on. the story number one. went to africa wearing a helmet a story that we covered on the news group here yesterday the controversy in kenya with the first lady of the united states wearing a controversial house during her visit to kenya. has been killed inside the saudi consulate our top story on the break today. the presidential. elections in a deeply divided country goes to the polls all those stories and much more on our
12:22 am
website that. says it believes day could be iran five thousand people still missing in some areas it was one of the region's worst affected by last week's earthquake and tsunami which has killed over seven thousand eight hundred people and that number is likely to rise in the coming days this is solid imagery showing the speed and extent of the damage solid ground turned into rivers of mud sweeping away hundreds of homes. and people another seven thousand eight hundred houses were destroyed in just one area of some sunk up to twenty feet under ground zero as wayne he has more from palo on the difficulties doctors are facing in the aftermath of the twin 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
12:23 am
hospitals in palu and is operating with around ten percent of its original start. of what we're trying to call the stuff to get them to come back and then we'll be able to identify we're still here. and all we lost are two disaster the damage 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 the
12:24 am
primary how clean it is. not working right now so you feel supported by the volunteers however in the fall and the media here so it's kind. of have to educate people to to go through the clinic or any. medical team that provide the health care but there's a constant risk of survivors suffering injuries so free tetanus shots are being given many people spend their days making dangerous tricks across the rubble and debris to where they used to live more than a week on the scale of this disaster is still emerging and the number of casualties continues to grow the many potential health risks could make the crisis even worse when hey al jazeera indonesia. joining us now on the new as great as any ten year old he has the un resident coordinator in indonesia as she is via skype from jakarta i thank you very much for speaking to us indonesia's government has said
12:25 am
that search efforts will continue until october eleventh after which they hope people can start living like normal again in their words what is living like normal again going to look like well i think that there are still considerable humanitarian challenges that need to be overcome very importantly the logistical challenges of being able to get aid in sight while some progress has been me there is a lot that needs to be done to actually reach duis areas which we still be difficult to get to because you know there was so much infrastructure damage that was happening as a result of the earthquake and so much tsunami so humanitarian challenges are still very much there so that is still a bit of time before one moves and sees this area we need to the only company i imagine is an extremely difficult decision to make to call off the search operations you know for those who have survived not knowing their family members
12:26 am
are it is imagine i imagine very painful how are these people being helped those who have survived well it's a very difficult situation for those who have lost their families of those who have been separated for their from their families one of the examples that i can give you what we're doing in terms of the unicef is we actually have provided in the on the ground by they're trying to connect children who might have been displaced or separated from their families so we're trying to look at how families that have been separated as it is out of this crisis can be brought to get us to see so these are some of the actions that have been taken to try and address the situation but nevertheless a very difficult. aid surprise finally getting to the people who need them the most have the most remote regions been reached there are still areas that i understand are still losing logistical challenges to be able to clear to do
12:27 am
significant damage that has happened which is a process that's happening i understand is a number we thank you very much for speaking to us anita niro de un resident coordinator for indonesia thank you very much for your time and. now bosnians have less than two hours left to vote in elections that could send rather the fragmented nation into a new direction twenty three years after peaceful deal set up a complex power sharing system bosnia has three presidents and two regional parliament split along ethnic lines among the leading candidates are a pro russian nationalists another favors moves towards a european union an unemployment rate of over twenty percent is adding to the ethnic tension live to david chattels covering this election for us in sarajevo a very complex political system as we said and election break it down for us explain to us what's happening today. yes
12:28 am
it is complex because they had to do so much to try and stop the fighting here what you can say is essentially that there is a cease fire here but the war is still continuing and you see it in the politics now the american ambassador. has just said here in a press conference that she's very concerned about reports coming in of fraud also of attempts to intimidate voters to bribe voters to blackmail voters this is being going on to such an extent that some of the monitors have been calling the situation here chaotic but as you say the votes are coming in less than an hour and a half or so to go before they close and we've had the latest turnout figures and this thirty seven percent that's one percent ahead of the turnout at this time four years ago so that is a very small reason for some optimism that perhaps the voters do feel they can make
12:29 am
a difference but most of the people ali we talked to outside the polling stations this morning said yes they're going to vote but essentially they don't feel that vote is going to count it's not going to change their future and it hasn't changed at all that was going to be my next question in fact what are the expectations far from these results and is anything going to change. well many of the political analysts i've been talking to say that essentially the political parties here have divided along the ethnic lines they want to keep those ethnic lines they want to keep themselves in power and they have now the political machinery to make sure they retain their positions and what this means essentially is that nothing will change what they're trying to do is make sure that they stay in office if you like it's it's apparent that they've hijacked this political position and the whole the whole thing rests really on real reform coming to the
12:30 am
electoral process but both the united states and the european union have essentially turned their back away from the festering political situation here and nothing is going on that would mean that the the country can actually become part of the e.u. it simply is not yet changed enough no not enough reform to get them into the western european sphere of influence instead they've been left to the influence of croatia the neighbors of serbia their neighbors and of course behind it all of russia but russia is a very content at the moment president vladimir putin whose birthday it is today said that he he looks forward to the result here no doubt he does because this means that this is this division here remains essential he so that he can keep control of a vital part of europe he doesn't want he doesn't want nato to come in here so he is very happy with the situation but the united states and the e.u.
12:31 am
should not be thank you for that david change a life or a saying sorry able now the power sharing agreement in boston has a governor is a legacy of a peace deal between the serbs bosniaks and croats softer war in the one nine hundred ninety s. which killed more than one hundred thousand people to learn more about how the events of the past as shaping bosnia future check out this excellent al-jazeera world documentary bosnia one thousand nine hundred ninety two the omarska camp it's on al-jazeera. dot com. now the me too movement spread across the u.s. last year with millions of women using the hashtag to share their stories or sexual abuse the movement brought down the likes of harvey weinstein and other high profile men in a wave of sexual assault cases india is one of the countries where women have been speaking out and in the last few days it seems it has reached a tipping point the it has this is a top conversation in india at the moment the me too movement has suddenly gained all of this momentum in india and is taking over its media and entertainment industry in the past thirty six hours many high profile men were caught in
12:32 am
a wave of sexual harassment accusations on facebook twitter and whatsapp groups it started with some female journalists who accuse newspaper editors and colleagues of what they said was sexual assault harassment sexual assault and harassment both at the workplace and outside now a prominent journalist tweeted here saying that this reminds me of what happened to me and so many women journalists of my generation who were too scared to speak up and offered suff an offer often suffered professional scold agree if advances were rejected another journalist here says that you have to fight so hard to make your place that you think talking about a violation will give everyone the excuse they need to stall your work we heard from some journalists here's what they had to say. this is an incredibly important moment for women in india many influential men especially in the media industry are finally being put in the dock for what they've been doing to women for us people
12:33 am
we've heard a story of a sexual harassment but then mostly been in respond it works well women are finally coming out in the open they are taking names they are not pointing fingers and they are actually finding the courage to do that from each other what you have seen in the last couple of days has been a definitive movement in the history of. equal rights. hundreds of. hundreds of stories have come out of really getting talking about violations sexual harassment abuse at work please at home at every piece the occupy and more stories are coming out more as more as the more this movement gets momentum you will see more women speaking up and india's comedy scene is also under fire several women are publicly accusing high profile stand up comedians of sexually harassing them the women speaking out say they are determined to put an
12:34 am
end to the culture of silence comedians so mad not to called out male indian comedians for also being quiet about the issue now the popular comedy group a.i.b. apologized on friday for failing to take action against a former employee despite being aware of the allegations against him and bollywood is also reacting more stars joined the movement in support of an indian actress who claimed earlier that she too was sexually harassed by a veteran actor a decade ago. if he takes a lot to come up there in front of a video and speak because you can rule that people are going to pull you down there for a new title track to new haven a time they could feel the need they're going to do whatever it is to. pull you down so it takes in order the carriage to speak and i feel all of us not just women everybody should listen and should know all that this is this is the reality of our
12:35 am
country you are off the boil and it's about time that it changes and the first read to change is to accept that it is happening but of course not everyone agrees with the movement many criticize it one user here says that india's me too movement is as foggy and noisy as indian politics and society these online onslaught and assassinations are not going to serve any purpose if you are true and your claims go and file now here and dia and are joining the social media movement let us know you can tag us in your post with our own hash tag aging is good. thank you very much for that leah now there's less than one month to go before america's midterm elections and al jazeera will be bringing you several reports as part of our special coverage leading up to the vote in november one of the issues dominating the campaign is immigration a lot of that has to do with donald trump who made it his signature issue first as a candidate and now as president in twenty sixteen trump promise to ban muslims
12:36 am
from traveling to the u.s. once in office several efforts to do that were blocked by the courts but the supreme court finally upheld a version that limits immigration from five mainly muslim countries zero tolerance policy towards undocumented immigrants separated thousands of families at the us mexico border after a public outcry the administration reversed a policy but many children still haven't been reunited with their parents and then there is what trump calls his big beautiful war at the border mentions it often but congress has refused to approve the budget to build it now one state at the heart of this debate is texas which has long been a republican stronghold but as rob reynolds reports from houston this year that might be changing. anything it could be given to him from a friend on a steamy houston afternoon fernando duarte and camilla sokoto a kennedy are pounding the pavement at this largely latino neighborhood urging
12:37 am
residents to vote in november president donald trump's harsh immigration rhetoric in policies that energize latino voters like eighteen year old elease soto who's enthusiastic about voting for the first time in deeply affected by scenes of family separation at the border i come from a family of immigrants so to really think. families be torn apart and. grass roots get out the vote efforts like this may make all the difference in this year's extremely tight race for senate here in texas still actually republican texas has not elected a democrat to the senate in thirty years but liberal democratic congressman beto over ork is now running fewer than four percentage points behind incumbent republican senator ted cruz we need to bring people out of the shadows allow them to get right by law and yes there should be an earned path to citizenship my views
12:38 am
on immigration are simple and i have some of them up many times in just four words legal good illegal bat o'rourke is gaining because people of color who often don't turn out in midterm elections are getting politically involved you see more enthusiasm of people who cannot vote houston is the most diverse city in the us and nearly a quarter of all people here are foreign born you can see that on the streets and in the kitchens the city is a polyglot polychrome picture postcard of a future us when people of color become the majority a few decades from now but this is not a good time to be an immigrant and use it says immigrants rights legal advocate tatyana obama joe pema residents were calm and say why don't my doing wrong will i be deported sometimes it's not them they're knocking out of the ordinary a bit afraid that fear could lead to change if volunteers like these can convince
12:39 am
let tino's and other people of color to head to the polls as fast as this machine can crank out tortillas texas may elect a democratic senator in november and possibly change the balance of power in washington to rob reynolds al-jazeera houston. that bonus story coming up for our viewers on facebook about how scientists have found a solution for the environmental damage caused by how and a mixed martial arts title fight spills out of the octagon and into a riot joe have all the reaction to that coming up a short distance. brother leader or brutal dictator. with discontent spreading through north africa time was running out for libya's self-styled king of kings. in the first of
12:40 am
a two part series the big picture charts the rise and fall of one of the and the events that helped fuel the violence of his final hours. the lust for libya on a zero eight. fresh perspectives and possibilities to. debate and discussion so it's only one piece on a story that doesn't get nearly the news coverage that it does or says so much to talk about is there any way of measuring that is our number at all that we can put on. and you see areas award winning programs takes you on a journey around the globe. i mean i'm just.
12:41 am

my father he counted ok boss you almost people want to hold these you cannot talk about religion you cannot talk about mission. guys you cannot talk about this and you know this is for me is very important when the cricket didn't hold a press conference but said on twitter say he's looking forward to the rematch off the fight we spiked to mixed martial arts right had john morgan he said that the usa needed to look at how the build up to the fight may have crossed the line you know i definitely think there's some lessons to be taken from this and you know i asked you to present in 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 signal for the way this fight was mostly because it was very much about family about religion about nationalities about all these things and i think you want a little overboard at times and it was very real i mean it wasn't made up by any stretch the imagination is it two people that do not like each other were basically

trying to look at any opportunity they could to 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 five 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. so this story so this story's been trending globally for the last few hours we've picked out the top three terms and that u.f.c. hash tag there has generated close to one and a half million tweets alone the majority of the traffic on surprisingly has been from mcgregor's home country of ireland and in the united states now there's been a big range of reaction on social media some of you think mcgregor and his team deserve the backlash from her bieber said says the u.s.c.

former newspaper editor and head of saudi intelligence left shortly after entering the president says he's watching the case closely as criticism ounce over this potential attack on press freedom is with our court. 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 sucker security officials said late on saturday that they were treating crushes disappearance as a murder investigation they said he entered a consulate in the left and we don't know what happened but his wife was out there so he didn't leave so that's it that's a fact and i think you're going to probably 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 was the operation the little puzzle she was the former editor in chief of saudi media outlets a lot of 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 her 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
12:52 am
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 or turkish police could search the saudi consulates they then invited journalists in to show all 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 consulates. the washington post which presents she wrote opinion pieces for said if the reports of jamal's murder a true it's a monstrous and unfathomable act tomorrow was or 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 well jamal is it
12:53 am
a sample and joins us now in jamal very serious allegations that have been made by turkish authorities anymore informational evidence been released to back us up. so far it's just been a few details that have been shared with the press from different security sources inside namely that mentioned as we pointed out in the reports that there was a group of fifteen saudi nationals who arrived on tuesday through. on two separate flights that those. nationals included amongst them of saudi officials who went to the concert at the same time that she was there and then shortly after they left and also left the country. the understanding is that for the first couple of days least the turkish officials were trying to give diplomacy a chance in order for the saudis to actually come out with the confirmation of the
12:54 am
whereabouts of the well being of. and failing that it's our experience that their hand has been forced to try and release some of the information they have obviously there are security apparatus was on hand to start searching for details with regard to your soon as he was reported missing by his fiance roughly three and a half hours after he entered the consulate building up until today we hadn't heard anything on the record or publicly from officials as i mentioned they were trying to give backroom channels a chance to work however later. in the afternoon of sunday a president broke that silence and he had this to say. the goods are only. the prosecutor general in a stand still to be investigating this incident from a security intelligence perspective checking of the records of departure an interest airport in particular is ongoing we are awaiting the results of these
12:55 am
investigations that said for us to see such an incident taking place in my country mr jamal is an old friend of mine that's why my expectation is still in good faith i wish we don't come up against a situation that we don't desire i do believe that the defenders of freedom and freedom of opinion in our country will follow this matter as president of turkey i will follow this closely and i will announce the results no matter what to the world. so there we have won saying that he is watching this very closely what has been the response so far from the saudis on this. well the only response so far has been this how do you state's own news agency as well as the twitter handle for the consulate here are they said that. refutes wholeheartedly the accusation that he was murdered or killed in the consulate and that they are working with the turkish government to try and find out where he is
12:56 am
they pointed to the fact that there have been some saudi investigators who have arrived arrived in turkey on saturday to try and identify the fate of this missing saudi citizen. what's important to circle back to the comments made by president erdogan here are looking into specifically the true points the first where he said obviously that this is something that the prosecution is looking into making it very clear that they his country is dealing with this is a criminal matter and that they will be looking for evidence that they were present but also the last one where he spoke of his intention to announce to the world what's happened and maybe this is where we read into the fact that maybe the turkish government patience is running out with regards to the saudis to come out and admit to whatever it is that has happened to her because one thing that is undoubtably clear that nobody can actually argue with is that this journalist
12:57 am
entered the saudi consulates nobody saw him get out and there's cameras all around the place there are security of our kids all around the place and the fact that he did not leave the consulate puts the responsibility squarely on the saudi authorities to disclose what has happened to him all right thank you for now jamal michelle following the story for us from istanbul well aden white is the president of the ethical journalism network he says if the reports are true it's a shocking attack not just on a distinguished journalist but on global for press freedom. we're not talking about someone here who is a fringe activist at all we're talking about someone who is well respected and therefore that in a way makes this action even more troubling and even more worrying and that's why these reports have to be clarified we need to have a clear statement from the saudi authorities about the whereabouts of german how and an answer to these allegations which are now very clearly on the table from the
12:58 am
turkish authorities about reports that he was tortured and murdered inside the embassy in istanbul government just such as in britain and the united states have a strong commercial economic interest in good relations with saudi arabia this this incident if it's true if it's confirmed will will in my view put on the spot these governments because they will have to face down they did the saudi arabian government and i have to challenge them over what it would clearly be a striking and terrible abuse of human rights this is not a moment for governments in settled democracies to remain silent in their own economic interests this is a moment for them to stand up and clearly declare not just in defense of journalism but also in defense of democratic rights that this sort of behavior is intolerable
