5:01 am
but he. remain unaccounted for. yet on climate control warning of disastrous consequences and action is taken now. welcome to the program allies of saudi arabia have joined a chorus of international concern over a saudi journalist who went missing in turkey nearly a week ago the u.s. u.k. and germany and the united nations are demanding answers over the disappearance of jamal khashoggi well this is the saudi consulate in istanbul where he was last seen applying for documents turkish investigators believe that khashoggi was murdered inside saudi arabia denies this and says he left the building but the turkish president says he wants proof but a short time ago u.s. president donald trump told reporters he was concerned about the disappearance
5:02 am
while the speaker of the house paul ryan called it very disturbing the u.k. said it wants answers to what it described as extremely serious allegations against the saudis and the u.n. secretary general is also following the case closely were journalists have also rallied in solidarity with they staged a protest outside the consulate in istanbul and also here at al-jazeera headquarters in doha joins us live now from washington d.c. good so what more has president trump been saying and how significant is his reaction. very significant because it's the first time that we've actually heard from president trump commenting directly on the disappearance of shogi and this is significant in this regard we have in the u.s. government hasn't been saying much at all late monday afternoon trump as he was going into the white house was asked about his show his disappearance and the reports that saudi arabia might be behind his disappearance and perhaps
5:03 am
his death this is what trump was asked about and this is how he responded he did not sound happy at all this in a little bit more of a trumpet to say i am concerned about it i don't like hearing about it and hopefully that will sort itself out right now nobody knows anything about it but there's a pretty bad stories going around i do not like i'm gay what other reactions been coming in from the u.s. at the moment. a lot more reaction from very important people we've heard from vice president mike pence who tweeted this evening here in washington he said tweeted deeply troubled to hear reports about saudi arabian journalist jamal khashoggi if true this is a tragic day by humans against journalists across the globe is a threat to freedom of the press and human rights he concluded his tweet the vice president by saying the free world deserves answers but we're also hearing from others as well who are really questioning saudi arabia and asking for answers from
5:04 am
saudi arabia trump ally senator lindsey graham tweeted we agree if there was any truth to the allegation of wrongdoing by the saudi government it would be devastating to the u.s. saudi relationship and there will be a heavy price to be paid economically and otherwise that's from senator lindsey graham so we've heard from other senators as well. senator. chris murphy over the weekend also saying that it should represent a fundamental break in our relationship with saudi arabia should it be determined that saudi arabia is behind this or again in washington d.c. thank you well for more on the background to the disappearance jamal of the reports now from istanbul. almost a week has passed since she went missing and still no evidence has emerged of what has happened to him turkey's foreign ministry summoned the saudi ambassador on
5:05 am
monday for the second time and police formally requested permission to search the saudi consulates in istanbul speaking from budapest president. called on saudi authorities to release information on jamal's fate but. consulate officials cannot save themselves by saying that he left the building don't you have cameras if he left you have to prove it with footage of those who asked turkish authorities where he is should ask what happened to them. she was last seen entering this six story building last tuesday saudi diplomats there insist he left shortly after his fiance waiting outside sees she hasn't seen him since when asked about the consulate surveillance system the saudi consul general said the cameras didn't record so there's no video of casualty entering or leaving turkish security sources have said they're dealing with a murder investigation after concluding that special jihad almost certainly being killed inside the saudi diplomatic mission president urged one had told reporters
5:06 am
that he was personally following the case that the united nations has spoken out if it's proven. and it does seem at this point that this is what the turkish government believes that democracy was murdered in the saudi consulate than at the very least i think i i would like to see the international community imposing some consequences on this brutal brutal act. journalists gathered again on monday outside the saudi mission in istanbul in solidarity with their missing colleague and to denounce the saudi government if i thought that's it could find a diplomatic way out of this crisis then the continued refusal by saudi arabia to cooperate or exert disclose of any information that would lead to. subtrees whereabouts or wellbeing is fast proving them wrong. istanbul where the disappearance of jamal khashoggi has deeply worried people living in istanbul who
5:07 am
are opponents of the saudi government so them cause they'll get reports. the saudi general consul ate in istanbul where journalist jimi she was last seen entering by his fiance now the center of so much attention from the world's media. to the annoyance of saudi consular officials. and while they stumble chief prosecutor's office has opened a probe and ask for a search turkey has become a sanctuary for many opposition figures from the middle east since their apps a printing of two thousand and eleven has shipped g.'s disappearance spreading fear and lungs that. now they are asking the syrians to come and to call for their being in turkey to be interesting they're all saying well. if we go inside and we never get out the vanishing of the saudi is seen as a clear warning to others that even if this is
5:08 am
a matter of detention by the authorities or perhaps we shouldn't spare the word kidnapping of this individual this still cost you it's a very serious breach of international law and international diplomatic traditions the level of interest among turks is mixed you know do you know i didn't know that because i'm not following the news i don't watch t.v. i'm really busy with work weekends and it is that he seems to be an important person both research the arabia and turkey it's a subject that must be well investigated but for our up tourists visiting turkey the comments are much more telling i will disappear as well if i will talk about it many turkish people are unaware of his mysterious disappearance in istanbul but the incident is further escalating the tension between both countries who have been strained since turkey's government criticized the kingdom support for the military
5:09 am
coup in egypt five years ago but for now both turkish and international media keep watch at the saudi council eight hoping to get some clues about fellow journalist g.'s whereabouts so you know because i'll just stumble well let's bring in some air show he's an associate professor of middle eastern politics at the university of oklahoma who joins us via skype from norman in oklahoma we've seen some strong comments from both president trump and the vice president mike pence how significant are these comments from the u.s. administration in a way of trump and pence responded now. well i think they've had to respond i mean this has been something that the international community has spoken about now for several days mr arrington wine and the turkish government have made some strong claims and there is a great deal of concern about mr fyshe okies whereabouts this would be you know an incredibly obscene outrageous act if it really had occurred that he was killed in
5:10 am
the consulate and i think they felt pressured to respond as have many american senators and congress people so i think they needed to respond and mr pence did so in a tweet and mr trump did so in response to a question on how of the saudis then locked into view what trump and various us some sense of responded i mean as a slot to put strain on the on the relationship between washington and riyadh which many same as pretty cozy anyway. i think there's no question that this is going to put some strain on the saudis i think they're going to have to come up with better answers as to what happened as you implied the relationship between mr trump and mohammed been summoned in the survey the regime has been very strong very positive has been i'm questioning with regard to human rights issues in saudi
5:11 am
arabia or saudi arabia's doings elsewhere such as with regard to the yemen war or for example the blockade of qatar or other activities so this could change things slightly i don't think it's going to be the unraveling of the relationship as you know it's one that's existed since one nine hundred forty five and one net both countries benefit from in some sense according to some of the yeah it's an interesting point you make sama because i mean how much leverage does washington really have over the saudis when mike pence says the world deserves but can washington pressure me out of an open honest account of what actually happened. well if they really wanted to they could because the united states has a tremendous amount of leverage that they can apply to saudi arabia as well as to other countries the leading suppliers of arms not only for use in the yemen war but with regard to saudi defense of course the u.s.
5:12 am
now is very much putting pressure on iran considered a a rival of saudi arabia there's questions about support for the saudi regime itself domestically and so on so if the united states wanted to put maximum pressure on site here a view they could i don't think that's going to happen as i said not under this administration which shone which has shown very little interest in issues of human rights or of rule of law or elections or democracy and so on but i do think it what it's going to change the impression the image the narrative of mohammed bin samana some kind of a reformer which many people in washington seem to have believed up until now just a final thought from you simon i mean how is this likely to play out diplomatically and politically what about turkey and its relationship with saudi arabia as a slight to the cause big problems between them which it could i mean and it should
5:13 am
of course if it was the case that he was murdered at the same time one has to be a little bit cynical there could be some kind of an arrangement that's done between the saudis and the turks sure that their mutual interests that maintains their relationship and that gets them out of this crisis but yes their relationship that will suffer the most will be the bilateral relationship between turkey and saudi arabia thank you for talking to al jazeera thank you well started out as they have taken a stand in solidarity with jamal khashoggi the managing director of al-jazeera english johns trendall says the will need zohn says about his disappearance. this should be free or has he been detained and kidnapped in contravention of the most basic human rights and diplomatic privilege is even alive or has he been a victim of state sponsored murder the international community needs answers we as fellow journalists need answers we stand here today to reaffirm journalism is not

5:16 am
stop the traffic to try to stop what they see as a major threat to democracy in brazil even though i think both doesn't like indigenous people black. scenarios fascism has regressing to nine hundred sixty four when he had a dictatorship we need to move forward look back to the future of latin america's largest country will be decided in less than three weeks in a runoff between ultra right wing presidential candidate nat'l and fernando had that the candidate of the discredited left wing workers' party. the underdog is clearly had died a moderate former education minister who stepped in at the eleventh hour to replace his mentor former president. boy in twenty days of campaigning we were able to get more than thirty million votes and take a little known candide it into a runoff on the strength of our political platform. but my trade anger against lula
5:17 am
was serving a twelve year prison sentence for corruption is had dads and chillies heal but it's an uphill battle it's a very long uphill battle has to find some way to connect to this people who. find a way to put for his own message to disentangle himself from military image but the day after the election had that first move was to visit lula in prison. who has a commanding lead says he won't back off from his most controversial views like supporting torture shooting criminals on sight and vilifying gays in women's rights groups i can't suddenly turn into a peace and love joey said paul so narrow in a radio interview i can't violate myself that way i have to continue being myself. already disturbing signs of intolerance reminiscent of a different time are emerging at this school for example parents demanded that a novel about a family that was forced to go into exile during brazil's military dictatorship be
5:18 am
taken off the curriculum arguing it was too leftist and at brazil's national university chapters dealing with human rights were found ripped out of books and thrown on the floor crowded hour in brazil has never been more polarized and given an unprecedented barrage of fake news on social networks international observers warn the campaign could get uglier before it's over you see in human al-jazeera rio de janeiro trees above. them. there's lots of mixed feelings in brazil after sunday's elections on one hand there is those who are afraid about what could happen in this country if a person. makes it to power they're afraid that human rights abuses by security forces will increase also now the us said in the past that a good criminal is a dead criminal or is so afraid about the possibility of persecution of minorities of political persecution but then there are those and there are many of those who
5:19 am
believe that. they will do anything in order to prevent the workers' party makes it to power again and they say that they will vote for boys when i don't you know wait so many of those you talk to they're saying that they are voting for the worst the least worst candidate but it was has responded positively has been this country's economy the stock exchange has been on the rise the brazilian area is has been soaring it also and i do have said that if he's makes it to the presidency he will prioritize state owned companies reduce the presence of the state in the economy and it seems that markets seem to like that from now on is going to be the campaign ahead the strategy for now is not the law that says that he's visited or my breast didn't you would rather feel by in prison told him to take to the streets to talk to people to tell them what's at stake in this country he says that it's brazilian democracy that's at stake and he wants to create an anti-fascist with other center
5:20 am
left candidates on the other hand is also an adult who said that he's not going to change his campaign strategy that he will continue to attack the workers' party because he blames them for the economic crisis that has happened in this country and for the worst corruption scandal that has happened in this country's history well let's talk to apollo sotero he's the director of the brazil institute at the woodrow wilson center he joins us via skype from washington d.c. what's your reaction to the results of the first round of voting that seen a surge ahead images does it come as a surprise. i think this sort of the final surge was a bit of a surprise polls had indicated that he would win the first round of elections but not by search large margin which makes him very likely next president of brazil mr harper has an almost impossible position of. stagnation his on identity
5:21 am
as a candidate to the school clique lead then to five by holders with little or even go see how that goes too far to dissent or he risks losing in soup or precisely from the lula base so he has a very difficult task ahead of him in the next three weeks many analysts say the rise of both americas due to brazil's deep political and economic crisis or how do you think both in our own as money is to get to the top of brazilian politics so quickly. i think he is down to five very early the engler the frustration of resilience with. widespread corruption that didn't happen mostly under the rule of the workers party so. public's insecurity crime brazil is today the calm of seventeen of the fifty
5:22 am
fifty most violent cities in the world and there is an enormous frustration that lingering effects of the longest and deepest recession in brazil's history from fifteen to seventeen days started under the rule of former president dilma rousseff who by the way was not elected to the senate in her home state of minas her eyes as she worked at she will rent to be sold there is a widespread rejection of moola of the workers' party of the left and this is what i think that i think has commanded driven to suppress so just a final thought from you paolo so what will the strategy be then for both both an r. and a dad over the next few weeks as the second round vote approaches. how that has to
5:23 am
just reaffirm his identity to try to gain more votes far. is to stay the course obviously he's starting having difficulties including wage is the vice president a retired general who he had to dissolve to arise today for statements that he doesn't agree with it's not clear to most on the role has diskin who was to manage a very broad based coalition that he will have to put together he has the advantage of having brought his very small part. to an all in six members in congress or has now to fifty two of the second largest delegation it is a phenomenal is election was that sure not me type of event in politics comes to heart part which is to finish. the process by in winning the second
