nobody knows anything about it but there's a pretty bad stories going around i do not like the u.s. government has mostly remained silent on reports saudi arabia might have murdered kushal the saudi arabia denies any involvement late monday vice president mike pence tweeted deeply troubled to hear reports about saudi arabian journalist. if true this is a tragic day by incidents journalists across the globe is a threat to freedom of the press and human rights the free world deserves answers the outspoken journalist was a u.s. resident and well known in the halls of power here in washington from his big platform as a columnist at the washington post where his writing was often very critical of saudi arabia's government particularly crown prince mohammed bin solomon to show his disappearance now as many people in this city demanding answers i think it's very disturbing. it's very unnerving we just need to get clear facts from both
6:03 am
governments senator lindsey graham tweeted we agree if there was any truth to the allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government it would be devastating to the u.s. saudi relationship and there will be a heavy price to pay economically and otherwise it means that there's going to be reexamined nation of the relationship of aid by the a military by the united states all military sales to the saudi government and there's going to be once again a distance between the united states and that government it's now clear washington has joined the chorus of coals to saudi arabia for answers on the growing international scandal his disappearance gave rosendo how does it go washington so ruben is the president of the washington strategy group and served as the deputy assistant secretary of state he says disappearance is an international scandal and the u.s. should be leading the way on getting to the bottom of it. well they have to understand
6:04 am
that it's not tenable for the american president should not comment on this kind of situation journalists international journalists in particular we the united states have a lot on track record of advocating for and even the president has been very critical of the press year and of journalists abroad as well as been very weak on his human rights advocacy nonetheless the united states takes this seriously and the saudis need to understand that they don't have much time to produce real answers to what took place well what we have to remember is that this is a saudi diplomatic facility so ultimately saudi arabia needs to produce information about what took place there they are in control but yes it should be putting pressure on them to open up their doors and we should be offering assistance to turkey as an investigation unfolds to get to the bottom of this and get clarity because the longer there's uncertainty the worse it is for saudi arabia if they don't have any culpability in this situation and if they do then clearly we're going to have to work on that as well

a court case has begun in the netherlands which puts the united states against iran iran in a lawyers at the international court of justice for trying to win back two billion dollars from the u.s. government iran says the americans are violating in one thousand fifty five friendship treaty which the u.s. terminated days before the case began its lawyers argue iranian leaders had been coordinating worldwide attacks for decades samus probably has more from tehran. it was nine hundred eighty three of the lebanese civil war had been fought for eight years in an attack the united states would blame on iran a truck bomb explosion killed two hundred forty one marines at their barracks in beirut. fast forward to two thousand and sixteen the us supreme court upheld a ruling in the case of bank markazi persist peterson the judge's froze two billion dollars in iranian assets and held iran financially responsible for acts of so-called state sponsored terrorism. identified strike us as defending that decision at the international court of justice in the hague just around. comes to the corner with unclean hands. indeed it is a remarkable show

a bad face that iran now seeks relief from this court because of the outcome of the peterson proceeding which arose from iran's support for a brutal and deadly terrorist attack an act which the iranian leadership post in iran denied any involvement in the beirut blast but at the time celebrated the incident the us legal team linked today's iran to wars of the past you will also see the name of hasan rouhani the current president of iran who was at the time a member of the supreme security council as a representative of iran's supreme leader ayatollah khomeini. in other words mr president members of the quote there is continuity at the most senior levels between then and now. as the americans made their case missing perhaps was historical context to the attack itself us back to iraq had declared war on iran in one nine hundred eighty lebanon was half way through

a complicated civil war exacerbated by the israeli invasion of southern lebanon. in the weeks leading up to the barracks bombing a u.s. warship in the mediterranean sea backing israel and its proxies in lebanon launched missile strikes on neighborhoods in beirut with links to iran and syria where america is trying to paint a picture in black and white iranians are likely to see regional conflicts in shades of gray. because. america cannot put itself in the position of an international judge accuse iran in their domestic court and then condemn iran implement the ruling and confiscate iran's assets it's obvious that their evidence is illegal and the incident itself is also under question while the world court has no power to enforce decisions for iran there's more on the line than two billion dollars which this case is another chance for iran to take america to task on a world stage opening remarks by the u.s. legal team looked to be a tough act to follow lawyers representing the iranian side begin their opening
