not anymore with garbage generated by one point four billion people they've got enough of their own but where does it go when he slips the lid on china's war on waste and how does iran. turkey's demanding saudi arabia prove its claim the missing journalist jamal khashoggi did leave the consulate in istanbul. hello everyone on this is the world news from al-jazeera. sure there are many politicians in brazil who are racist who are homophobic who are misogynist but they don't speak like that in public and. the leader of brazil's far right movement is now one step closer to becoming president but there's still the runoff to come.
8:01 pm
but also look at the fight to save thousands of starving children in yemen all of that plus. i'm wayne hay reporting from palu indonesia where life in some of the areas affected by the earthquake and tsunami is beginning to return to some sort of normality but here thousands remain unaccounted for. so the turkish president says it's up to the saudis to prove missing journalist jamal khashoggi left the saudi arabian consulate building turkish officials believe the journalist was murdered inside the consulate which saudi arabia denies turkey's asking for permission to search the consulate in istanbul as part of its investigation into his disappearance crowdsource are now gathering outside the building calling for information on his whereabouts we're going to have a u.s. reaction in just a moment alan fischer in washington d.c.
8:02 pm
let's start though with stephanie deca the latest from istanbul what more on the demands to be allowed into the embassy stephanie. well they haven't done that yet of course it is technically territory under the jurisdiction of saudi arabia pickett is it is a saudi diplomatic mission but again i think you know what everyone is waiting for at the moment is facts is evidence because it is a he said she said as you mentioned the turkish authorities alluding to a lot of anonymous sources saying they believe he was killed inside the embassy saudi arabia saying absolutely not that he left but the problem with that in terms of what the turkish president is calling for to show evidence that he actually left is that the saudis are saying that the surveillance cameras that are an operation of course around the consulate did not record so at the moment what everyone is waiting for is some kind of evidence to show what happened to the journalists and also you know
8:03 pm
a hugely important diplomatic figure in the pos close to the ruling family in saudi arabia has extensive contacts with american officials and just politically across the spectrum so the facts that we know is that he disappeared on tuesday when he entered the consulate he'd gone there before the week before to get papers that would you know just that would prove his divorce because he wanted to get married the next day he never came out so this is where we're at and of course an extraordinary story a horrific story certainly if it is conclusive what turkey is alluding to but again at the moment nobody has any facts as to what exactly happened to him but he remains a disappeared just astonishing isn't it stephanie takers in istanbul thank you we'll look at some mentor national reaction canada's foreign ministry says it's concerned about to show g.'s disappearance but you know beyond back that there's been little in the way of international reaction there has been a washington post editorial again demanding answers from saudi arabia and because showed you was a contributor to the paper here's some of what the editorial says having
8:04 pm
disseminated the old full charge that mystic i showed you was murdered turkey must immediately make public any evidence it has to back it up in. states too should demand answers loud and clear president trump street at the saudi crown prince is a favored ally and his administration sidestepped criticism of the regime's abuses if the crown prince does not respond with full cooperation congress must as a first step suspend all military cooperation with the kingdom so as promised here's alan fischer in washington d.c. what other reaction is coming out of the u.s. because i mean the editorial points out there that they would like a reaction from congress but you've also got executive reaction white house reaction official from there anything. well there's kind of two tracks to this first of all there's a call for turkey to provide evidence that you've made a very startling allegation here what do you have to back that up but on the other side there is a great deal more pressure on saudi arabia no president donald trump has been in
8:05 pm
front of the media just in the last hour or so he left for a campaign event in florida he faced the cameras and a number of journalists and no one asked the question do you have any reaction at all to the news we're hearing coming out of turkey and he said really hasn't said anything either i know as far as the state department is concerned and that is where you would think that the initial statements are going to come from that they have said nothing that is a federal holiday in the united states or and monday but even so it might prompt a zero is traveling there are media reports which we haven't been able to confirm but there are media reports that might pompei or is looking for answers from the surtees and hasn't been able to get any official response that would suggest to me reading between the lines that he said to the saudis look what is going on we need to know what is happening here and not even the saudi ambassador in the united states has got back in touch you know you remember the donald trump is a big supporter of this government not only is he selling them
8:06 pm
a great deal of weapons remember when the hamad bin selman the crown prince came to washington d.c. he held up a poster board showing the weapons the united states was selling to saudi arabia he also believes that they can act as a bulwark against iranian expansion of influence in the middle east and he also wants to see the saudis play a role when he eventually produces his plan for peace in the middle east between israel and the palestinians perhaps hoping that the saudis will put pressure on the palestinians to accept any deal that comes from jericho who is the son the president's adviser but also the president's son in law another thing to mark here as well is that there is pressure from boards. sides of the political divide both republican and democratic senators are saying look if these reports are true then her basic relationship with sodium arabia because of the gentleman involved is a us president will change and we've got to look at what we're doing there was
8:07 pm
already pressure on the u.s. before this because of their support of these sodium to invention in yemen they're providing intelligence they're also providing weapons and after the attack where this saudis killed a number of children there were people in this country seeing we've got to pull back from this those calls will grow louder and they will question the relationship with saudi arabia if these reports turn out to be true that the writer for the washington post a u.s. resident has been murdered allan fishes in washington d.c. thank you alan meanwhile al-jazeera south here in doha have taken a stand in solidarity with jamal khashoggi stuff as you see gathered in the newsroom earlier today demanding an investigation into his disappearance and aging director of al-jazeera english giles trendall says the world is needing months meanwhile a television reporter who is investigating alleged fraud with the youth funds has been found dead in

mastermind the person who planned it the person who paid for it the person who instructed it they get away scot free and indeed many of them become political leaders in different countries around the world or certainly people with a high up in business or high up in corporations. globally mexico remains the most dangerous place in the world to report from followed by all the countries in the middle east and asia where war has made journalists likely to be targeted in the same way as enemy fighters in fact the number of reporters dying has actually dropped since a peak two years ago but only because reporters are simply stopped going to places deemed too high risk of course there are some journalists who only plan flight routes they don't fly in air spaces of for example countries in the arab world if they're flying for example it's east asia they will fly by finland they will avoid at all costs any airspace whereby an airline will be ordered by government to land this is the journalist and they kidnapped him a few days ago i call the fake news the enemy of the people and they are it isn't
8:10 pm
much of a surprise that there's been virtually no international response to the bizarre disappearance of jamal khashoggi when any number of world leaders in the u.s. and elsewhere claim journalists are the enemy of the people. not only is there a dwindling political defensive free reporting but increasingly an apparent acceptance that digging for stories may result in physical harm. in the end it's about democracy whether it matches. zero. just one of a note on press freedom bangladesh's president of the honeyed has signed a controversial law that critics say threatens free speech people can now be jailed for up to fourteen years for spreading what could be labeled as propaganda about the war for independence from pakistan back in nineteen seventy one new law also calls for a three year sentence for publishing information that it's considered quite aggressive or frightening. still ahead for you on al-jazeera i die

8:15 pm
action needs to come much sooner than previously thought early action to eliminate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions is possible of the options available there are signs that mitigation is going on but if this is to be achieved there's an urgent need to accelerate. three years ago at the paris climate change conference many governments gave themselves a pat on the back they pledged to take action to limit temperature rises to one point five degrees celsius above pre-industrial levels now the experts say they're failing and time is running out the i.p.c.c. says meeting that one point five degrees target requires a forty five percent cut in carbon emissions by twenty thirty and alarmingly zero net carbon emissions by twenty fifty with steep cuts in other greenhouse gases like methane it's a question of whether we can make certain decisions in the coming years. with the benefit of fisheries gone that with our children and grandchildren and.
8:16 pm
coming generations the i.p.c.c. says by the end of this century global sea level rises would be ten centimeters lower with warming of one point five degrees compared to two degrees and the arctic is likely to be ice free in summer around once a century at one point five degrees but at least once a decade if warming reaches two degrees none of this is academic faster action will reduce flooding giving people living on the world's coasts islands and river deltas time to adapt to climate change then there are the millions affected by drought many on the african continent we need to look at climate finance and strategies that ensure that we sort of speed up climate climate action related to issues like our culture our food security livelihoods and migrations and that's because migrations and migration is no longer a choice for lots of people in the continent it is now in must because of global warming the i.p.c.c. report says renewable energy must account for at least seventy percent of

8:19 pm
life is beginning to return to some sort of normality but here it is difficult to imagine how that will ever be possible. the government says they may be up to five thousand missing under the rubble and mud into areas of palu but the search will be wound down or stopped on thursday that contradicts an earlier statement from the indonesian president who said all the victims must be found relatives of the missing want the search to continue. in these conditions we realize it's very difficult to get all the bodies out but we expect our family members to be found but they haven't so the government needs to give us a solution are they going to ask our permission before they convert this into a mass grave yard the government officially ending the search will be something many won't be able to accept and with entire communities wiped out it's expected to be a long time before most will be able to contemplate normality wayne hey al jazeera indonesia. a spanish court has freed a doctor found guilty of stealing and selling
