9:01 pm
history the new orleans saints pride going past peyton manning's mark to break the all time record a career passing yards. this president says he plans to speak with saudi arabia over the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi his comments come as international pressure mounts with both the u.k. and the e.u. saying they are treating this incident seriously remember he has not been heard from since the end to the saudi consulate in istanbul last tuesday turkish officials believe he was murdered saudi arabia insists the allegations. stephanie deka now she is joining us from istanbul outside that saudi consulate what's been happening there today stephanie. when it's nine pm in the evening here kemal and there is some movement coming and leaving the embassy the lights are on
9:02 pm
the blinds are drawn. but again still no answer on where he is and what's happened to him the latest is the saudi investor than the saudis have allowed the turkish investigators to come in here and to investigate to search the consulate for any signs of what may have happened here but that hasn't happened yet let's take a look at how the last twenty four hours have unfolded. it's an ominous image. on security camera video entering the saudi considered last tuesday his fiance who accompanied him to the consulate has verified it it's the last time he has been seen in public just a few days ago the saudi journalist spoke to b.b.c. radio recently a saudi columnist an economist who was close to the royal court got a listed and that's a good many people because here we are talking about somebody who is close of the government right right i don't even want to use the term this is a dissent dissent dissidents then that this isn't i mean the people who are out of
9:03 pm
this is not even being dissidents right they just have an independent mind until you know i don't call myself an opposition i always say i am just right that i want a free environment to write and speak my mind turkish sources say they believe he was killed inside the consulate saudi arabia categorically denies that saudi authorities have now said they will allow turkish investigators inside the consulate to continue their investigation but this opposition member and human rights activist says he is skeptical anything will be found. it seems like a professional job it's already been seven days the saudis weren't sure about themselves they would not let the turkish authorities and u.s. president donald trump spoke about the issue for the second time in twenty four hours prompted by a journalist it's pretty obvious we're going to the saudis about a missing washington post columnist i have not going but i will be at some point
9:04 pm
you know responding i know nothing already and i know what everybody else does not think the u.s. secretary of state is also going saudi arabia to support a thorough investigation into the disappearance of the saudis did give a tour of the building to a group of journalists on saturday the consul opening a small cabinet and what appears to be a fuse box in an effort to show. he was not there there are a lot of allegations and much speculation about what happened to jamal khashoggi here inside the saudi consulate but turkey hasn't yet provided any evidence to back up their belief that he may have been murdered here and saudi hasn't provided any proof that he ever left the only thing we know for sure is that jamal khashoggi entered the saudi concert a week ago and no one has seen or heard from him since and stephanie whenever the turks do go in there i mean will who knows what they'll find first of all and i guess there is still the chance that we could be exactly in the same position we're in now after that happens. yes of course it all defense
9:05 pm
depends on what they find and what they announce and this is why there is growing pressure also on turkey to make public what they are basing their statements on they are of course extremely serious statements to say that they believe he was murdered inside that building behind me so that is a cool for them to make any of this evidence more public they did initially say that they would in the next twenty four to forty eight hours with that expired yesterday we still haven't seen anything concrete the only thing we've seen was at the top of that package come out which is that still. going into the concert which is of course the last time anyone saw him they're pursuing different routes of investigation we know looking at who the saudi nationals were that flew into istanbul that day that were here at the consulate and flew out again fifteen people according to reports also looking at the cars the diplomatic cars that are part of this consulate they left during that time when it was inside where did they go
9:06 pm
which route they take who was inside what did they take with them so this is all part of that investigation and of course the calls saudi arabia to prove that what they say is that he actually left the building none of that has come out and the you know as we keep saying it's seven days and there's no sign of him so course it's incredibly concerning but we still have no answers yet extraordinary stuff isn't it stephanie dick has outside the consulate in istanbul thank you outside the white house in washington d.c. is kimberly how could we heard briefly from donald trump in that report not having spoken to them i will at some point any further reaction coming out of the u.s. . well we had hoped to hear from the u.s. secretary of state who was here at the white house and did appear front of microphones for reporters but he would not take any questions on this issue instead talking about north korea and also the u.s. ambassador to the united nations that will be leaving nikki haley but it's safe to say that there is growing concern within this of ministration about the fate of the
9:07 pm
missing journalists in fact we can rely on the statement from the u.s. state department earlier where the official wording of the state department now is that there is concern and there is a call for a thorough and transport investigation for that investigation those results to be made public that is something that has been echoed by the spokesman for the u.s. secretary general and tony would terrorist who is also calling for a similar transparent investigation take a listen the high commissioner for human rights office called for the saudi authorities for the turkish authorities to cooperate to conduct a prompt impartial and transparent and to investigation. and the secretary general has no you know we would agree with that statement from the office of the high commissioner for human rights. so it appears that the united states and the un speaking with one voice with regard to the need for further answers and clarification we should point out that that is the statement coming from members of
9:08 pm
congress who all seem to be in a similar lockstep approach fact the top ranking republican in the senate foreign relations committee bob corker saying that he has raised this issue with the saudi ambassador and the united states will respond accordingly the top republican in the house of representatives paul ryan saying that the issue is disturbing and there is a need for clear facts but from lindsey graham another top republican senator some very strong words if there is any truth to these allegations it would be devastating for the u.s. saudi relationship kemal he says there will be a heavy price to be paid economically and otherwise if there is truth to the allegations that have been made but of course hard to determine to the results of an investigation are clear and that is what the united states right now is pressing for can be how could the white house thank you to the big story today the u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley who has announced she is resigning she is the latest in
9:09 pm
a long line of high profile departures from the trumpet ministration highly says she's doing it to take time from public office. look at what has happened in two years with the united states on foreign policy now the united states is respected countries may not like what will we do but they were special what we do they know that if we say we're going to do something we follow through in the president for that whether it was with the chemical weapons in syria whether it's with nato saying that other countries have to pay their share i mean whether it's the trade deals which have been amazing they get that the president means business and they followed through with that but then if you look at just these two years at the u.n. we've cut one point three billion in the un's by just we've made it stronger we've made it more efficient. south sudan we got an arms embargo which was a long time coming three north korean sanctions packages which were the largest and generation done in a way that we could really work towards denuclearizing north korea and iran deal
9:10 pm
bringing attention to the world that every country needs to understand you can't overlook all of the bad things they're doing you have to see them for the threat that they are and sitting next to her there donald trump your prey's you he said she was fully aware of her decision to step down some time ago she told me probably six months ago she said you know maybe at the end of the year the end of a two year period with the end of the year i want to take a little time off i would think a little bit she's been a very successful you know governor of south carolina. for eight years and then she . she did this and this is possibly even more intense with what's going on in the world and very dangerous and a lot of things but she's done a fantastic job and we've done a fantastic job together we've solved a lot of problems and we're in the process of solving a lot of problems at the beginning north korea was a massive problem and now we're moving along it's been a long really nicely i can speak for secretary of state mike pompei oh he thinks
9:11 pm
the world of nicky and so we're all we're all happy for you in one way both we hate to lose a you'll probably be coming back at some point but you want to just to invent maybe a different capacity you can have your pick let's bring it together with mike hanna that the united nations actually let's pick up on what donald trump said at the end there you can come back and you can have your picks are definitely not the end of nicky have not lost one thing and make you happy shall we say. well there's been a long procession of administration members who've walked in and out of trams cabinet and certainly this is the first one in which president trump says oh please return and you can have your pick of what job you want to do perhaps a sign of the respect that president trump has for nikki haley but it was so very clearly an attempt to make very clear that this is business as usual that the administration not in the slightest bit upset by this sudden resignation
9:12 pm
incidentally the letter of resignation from nikki haley was delivered to president trump on wednesday last week according to the date on the resignation it would appear that this hastily arranged news conference came about because news of her resignation was leaked president trump and others and as ministration adamant display that the administration is on even keel that although the u.n. ambassador is leaving she will be here until the end of the year all of a couple or business as usual she will be a hard act to follow when chief or whoever takes up her position might because i would say nikki haley as much or more than anyone in this trump administration has been loyal to donald trump and has executed his plan and his vision exactly how he want. many would argue that in addition to that over the past two years at the united nations she has helped define president trumps foreign policy
9:13 pm
certainly she's given it the nuts and the bolts that trumps vision did not necessarily always encompass but at the same time and this must be said within the united nations she was regarded by many as a very able diplomat remembering she had no diplomatic experience coming into this position and although many members of the security council would vehemently disagree with the position she adopted. all of them had a warm relationship with her they all respected her so in this particular way it's going to be a very difficult job for someone to take over and for the u.n. diplomats here for those from other countries they are now going to be dealing with an unknown many believe that they had got into some form of working relationship with nikki haley well they're going to have to all start again when president trump decides within the next two to three weeks or even sooner he says who's going to move into the u.n. mission just over the road from the united nations thank you mike hanna at the u.n.
9:14 pm
in new york. here's what's coming up for you on this news hour in the u.s. new accusations of contact between the twenty sixth campaign and foreigners this time though not the russians by the writing's on the wall for the shared alphabet between north and south korea and then sport we will hear from the olympic legends passing on their expertise at the games in argentina. the south african president cyril ramaphosa has accepted the resignation of his embattled finance minister. has been facing calls to step down after a visit in order missing he visited the brothers they are the longtime friends of the former president jacob zuma has been accused of corruption is the fourth finance minister in south africa in the past three years more from in johannesburg
9:15 pm
. the resignation of the finance minister and continental has come as little surprise for many south africans that's after he testified at a commission of inquiry into state capture and corruption here in south africa where he admitted to meeting with members of the gupta family meeting them privately during his tenure as the finance minister now this family of course has been accused of using their political ties to gain financially specifically their relationship with former president jacob zuma now previously merely had said that he hadn't met with the family and had perhaps met them in passing at public events now the issue for many south africans is that the minister had lied especially considering that he is in an important or was in an important portfolio while trusted and out all that point was credible now these revelations of course have brought into question his credibility integrity as well as his character and gotten
9:16 pm
in a did apologize soon after his testimony to south african saying that he shouldn't have met with that family it should have met with the good times and if he had done that it should have been within the finance ministry and that this was an error of judgment and front and any despite being of well liked and respected specifically because he had according to many south african save the country from what would have been a disastrous nuclear deal that south africa couldn't afford it some are very sad to see the finance minister go but in his place president saw him up or so has brought in tito and bo any he is the former reserve bank governor he was the first black governor of the reserve bank and is a well respected within business and labor these are african chamber of commerce say that says that this is one of the finest appointments yet in the finance ministry. five months of fighting in eastern libya has forced many families to seek

ukraine and the breakaway republic of trans nesta before being honored it seems by helping to squirrel ousted president viktor yanukovych out of ukraine to exile in russia in two thousand and fourteen but this of course all hinges on the theory that the investigators who came out with it are right where absolutely sure i mean from the photographs we have alone i mean we have we have published all the photographs that would feel some vassell says but we do have multiple photographs showing him here two very distinct images on his face and his chin one on the bottom of his cheek his it also has a mark on it as visible in all the photographs of russia digital at nasa photographed them as well which is the same person is continues to be a bad time for the g.r.u. intelligence agency having also been found out for trying to hack the o.p.c. w. chemical weapons building in the netherlands it all looks amateurish the british government feels like it is in fight back mode it's not necessarily a huge problem convincing people in russia who want to believe that government any right i think the rest of the world in the global audience i think the evidence of
9:22 pm
russian involvement is overwhelming and we've had hundreds of g.r.u. officers named in the past few weeks anyway and if you're trying to run a secret organization if your secret agents are no longer secret then we have a problem of course you my song that it's a shame that colonel. anatoly chepe go and dr alexander if that's their real names try to present themselves as unhappy tourists called bushy rolf and petrol in salzburg for entirely benign reasons after all to the russian states both men are heroes and sergei script was a traitor but they can hardly change their story now of course the people who would be most pleased about all this are the british government who've always said that the russians did it and can now sit back and relax as everybody else suggests that russian intelligence is just a bit incompetent the russians themselves have always maintained that the british can't provide any evidence but if this isn't proof it's really difficult to know what is lawrence lee al jazeera in london. the new york times investigation has
9:23 pm
found a top campaign aide to donald trump requested the manipulation of social media activity during the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election rick gates allegedly tried to hire an outside company to create fake online identities the goal was to amplify divisions among trump's rivals for the republican party nomination israeli group he is side by side group offered to spread false information about trump's opponents it is a company run by former israeli intelligence officials side group was not hired and it is uncertain if the trunk campaign actually acted on the proposals we spoke to russ feingold earlier about this political risk analyst who says social media is a tool that every political party would want to use to get their message across. well it's no surprise that there may have been fake social media accounts during the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election whether during the primaries amongst the republicans or on the general
9:24 pm
election amongst democrats who are a public but it's clear from this article that the trump campaign ultimately did not hire this company so ultimately it may have just been an inquiry about what are the possible tools that a political campaign can use and this company is obviously very experienced at implementing these tools but it's unclear and frankly it's probably unlikely at least as a result of this article that any u.s. laws were broken one aspect of us election law as with many other countries is that foreign companies or foreign individuals cannot donate or participate they cannot donate goods they cannot be hired to provide services and they cannot make cash contributions to candidates and the u.s. has laws like this just like many other countries that have a lakshman and again it seems that the new york times acknowledges that this company a foreign company was not hired so there's no crime simply by consulting or inquiring
9:25 pm
what their capabilities are we have to keep in mind the big extraordinary importance of social media engaging with voters to political campaigns not just in the united states but around the world and it's very understandable whether it's a democrat or republican in the united states inquiring from the private sector what kind of technological capability just to get a message across what we're talking elections the midterms are coming up a millennial is in the us a growing in. the spot a booming american economy low wages high debt and political disillusionment will push many millennia old to the left john hendren the support. it's a generational shift of power and to see such vast change so so early in our lives it shows that pretty much anything is possible. millennia of the bearded coffee shop dwelling hipsters and those less easily given to stereotype or on the verge of

which lie along one of the longest river is in asia the mekong flows through cambodia laos thailand mean mot and vietnam all the leaders were welcomed in tokyo by japan's prime minister shinzo abi and all agreed to push forward more than one hundred fifty projects in the mekong region they include expanding airports in laos and building roads in me and mo as well as upgrading postal services and using information technology to improve health care the focus was on three main areas effective connectivity people sentences societies and environment and disaster management japan's strengthening ties as china expands its investment and influence to michael penn as president of the should get sued news agency who we spoke to earlier he told us japan wants to promote peaceful development and make south east asian less vulnerable to china i think that you know if if there is going to be an impact in the longer term this would be just one step not the first step and not
9:35 pm
the last step and i think that that's probably viewed that way by the participants certainly among the countries in southeast asia there are still many tense relationships not all of the governments get along with each other and there's also cases of many refugees and people from one country across the border another so there's always a potential for for problems in that sphere from jan japan's point of view of course they have no particular horse in that in that race so they're more interested in just trying to promote the peaceful development of those countries with another eye on the fact that they would like to strengthen southeast asia as a whole to make it less vulnerable from japan's point of view to sort of chinese penetration. we're going to go back to our earliest story the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi with the talk actually to tony cadman who is an
9:36 pm
international lawyer barrister not bedford row international chambers he's on skype from brussels t.v. i believe the line is a little crackly so i hope you can hear me all right i just want to press forward with what turkey does now if it can get into the embassy that's one thing that i mean it's got a lot to prove here what it does at the moment where we're only looking at usage of it the subsidiary serious allegation of sorry national being killed with doctors and potentially killed in the embassy we don't know at this stage exactly what happened. but obviously the saudi authorities have to lie to the turkish investigators to get when. and investigate we don't know if they're going to be given access to c.c.t.v. but certainly the the the information that we we're hearing from kids is that they have very clear ration that he and the premises. so the saudis are going to have to
9:37 pm
aunts and clearly you know this is all on all the strength of what has been some very serious accusations. against saudi arabia and saudi arabia over the last few months in terms of she writes fundamental freedom so this is a serious blow to the saudis this is a very serious allegation what is your view on the consulate in this case but consulates and embassies and what goes on in them obviously tookie has been granted permission here that is rare in itself i would think because you know they've had a b.s. leafy asli protected place since can anything go on in there and it's considered you know they the land of the soil of that country. well it's an interesting point and it's and is a massive that has been subject to label challenge of the last few years as to as to whether what happens in an embassy or consulate is considered to be territory of
9:38 pm
that state of course what we're talking about is the abduction and. claiming immunities and privileges for that allegation such as that is unlikely to carry too much too much weight but of course it is it is a met so which is which is frequently used as a way to prevent any hold all internal investigation but in this particular situation the saudis having bines that they need to show guards he is in so they're perfect big given up any minute that they would they they would seek to maintain the say sort of a wake up call perhaps to well any country around the world with a name to say on the say we we don't want to talk about the idea of killing people in embassies but what can go on in an embassy and what can be protected and what company protected is that a bit of a wake up call for people what i think it is i think is a wake up call for. missions around the world that the question of
9:39 pm
sovereign immunity that christmas is in a foreign state. that that is in tune to to question but i think it's equally a wakeup call for the saudi authorities that they can melt it but the other nations pre-book grossman's just navigational them either but if the allegations prove that they cannot continue to to operate in this way tony have been joining us from brussels always a pleasure thank you thank you very much. gaza's only power station is being supplied with enough fuel for the next six months but it is to the disapproval of the palestinian president the qatari government is supplying sixty million dollars worth of diesel to prevent a worsening of gaza's humanitarian disaster of course often without electricity for up to sixteen hours a day because of israel's blockade but palestinian president mahmoud abbas rejected the foreign aid plan because of the rift with hamas in gaza more than a decade of blockade war and economic collapse and taken
