to a new banking tax. in sport a hero's welcome for the of the sons or one of the mixed martial arts most infamous . could be. back in russia. with his win his check. they've identified three places of interest in istanbul related to the disappearance of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi he was last seen a week ago and touring the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey should believe he was murdered there which saudi arabia denies stephanie has been a just. it's an ominous image. on security camera video entering the saudi considered last tuesday his fiance who accompanied him to the

consulate is verified it is 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 was close to the government right right i don't even want to use the term this is a dissent dissent president then this isn't i mean the people who are this is not even being dissidents right they just have an independent mind and to 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 on top of us 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 in. u.s. president donald trump spoke about the issue for the second time in twenty four hours prompted by a journalist this president is going to the saudis about a missing person. i have no idea but i will be at some point you know at this point i don't think we're going to know what everybody else does not think the u.s. secretary of state is all skiing saudi arabia to support a thorough investigation into the disappearance 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. it was not there there are a lot of allegations and much speculation about what happened here inside the saudi consulate but turkey hasn't yet provided any evidence to back up their belief that

he may have been martyred 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 stephanie decker al jazeera . the u.s. is demanding a full investigation into the disappears or jamal khashoggi but there are growing calls in washington for a firm action to be taken against saudi arabia and fisher has more. one week on since the disappearance of american resident jamal khashoggi in istanbul and the u.s. is still chasing answers i know nothing right and i know what everybody else knows nothing the u.s. state department insists it is pressuring the saudis were not going to make any judgments about what had happened to him the united states is certainly concerned about his whereabouts a senior officials at the state department have spoken with saudi officials through diplomatic channels about the matter we call on the government of saudi arabia to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation at

a washington conference discussing come to events in saudi arabia concerned for the journalist disappearance bubbled under the surface one human rights activist says the u.s. must take much stronger action than just expressing concern i'd like to see the u.s. demand that the saudis produce him and if they can't produce him produce the detailed explanation including documentation c.c.t.v. footage whatever is necessary to demonstrate what did happen to him. full compass forged close links with saudi arabia his first foreign trip was to the kingdom when he entertained crown prince mohammed bin salman at the white house he boasted of significant arms deals he wants the saudis to help bring in iran's regional ambitions and to sell any white house middle east peace plan to the palestinians but politicians on both sides are more shinton see if what the turks are seeing is true and should she was murdered in the consulate in istanbul than there has to be a significant change to us so the relations as elected leader we stand with you in the media in solidarity to making sure that this does not go unnoticed if this is

true if the saudi regime murdered murdered a journalist critic in their own consulate there must be a culpability and there must be an unequivocal condemnation by the united states one middle east expert says any change has to be well thought out but i do think it needs a retail operation or. i think a very strong unequivocal message needs to be sent to riyadh that there are consequences for these kind of actions and that american support is not unconditional there's growing pressure on the saudis to come up with answers about what actually happened in istanbul and if they do and there's a growing number of politicians in the united states who say that must significantly change the relationship between the two countries alan fischer al-jazeera washington one story now and its implications i'm joined by our senior political analyst. so well talk about going to us out in

a minute but first this is quite a significant strain on turkey saudi relations isn't it you know if you would have thought relations couldn't have gotten any worse between riyadh because there's just been deteriorating now for a good number of years especially the last three years and since the crown prince and so it took over he took the animosity towards started a whole new level and the turks don't exactly distinguish between what the saudis say and what they write these say because they think they want these are simply. you know the the spokesperson or the unofficial spokespersons for the saudis and so for the last couple of years they've been a lot of hostility coming out of abu dhabi and riyadh the latest was last march when the crown prince of saudi arabia said that turkey is part of the triangle of evil. triangle of evil and that's the you know

a partner allied sunni country he said turkey was was part of the triangle of evil along with the islamic brothers and iran so really a truce followed the hostility from the saudis towards the turks and now it's taking it to a whole new level i think it's just basically a dead end and so i mean that in terms of the states we had some quite strong language from people like graham saying if there's any truth to allegations of wrongdoing by the saudi government would be devastating to your saudi relationship will be a heavy price to be paid economically and otherwise safe compass that he's going to talk to them as far as we have he hasn't yet and they didn't the u.s. mission are waiting for some kind of face saving arrangement to come out between that the. saudis or what's the terminally say certainly in congress they have a bit of leverage because that's where they're going to agree to the next arms sales splits the sophisticated arms sort of saudi arabia so the republican leadership in congress along with the democrats might put some brakes on whatever

the next shipment of arms so they're abia and they are able to tie it to the what happened to the question of history in terms of the administration here it can go both ways what we know is for the last two years the the american president have been milking the saudis like there's no end and when he visited saudi arabia right at the outset of his administration he basically got them to put out at least one hundred billion dollars to words on it and so on so forth another couple of hundred billion dollars for investments and stuff so there are a comparison until. last week he was saying look i told the my friend the saudi. king that he needs to they need to pay for their security it looks like america being a mercenary in a way no longer the global power and global governance and so forth but there are

other you pay me and i'll protect you it sounds like a mercenary but be that as it may it depends whether this time around the american would actually take this seriously as a human rights issue and take measures against the saudis or milk the saudis for even more concessions when it comes to finance and arms and so on and what about saudi arabia itself is that they've had it run recently of some quite some odd decisions about things that people actually haven't any pushback against i mean the the disappearance of hariri exile and ebony's prime minister then appeared to resign over there what. what where do you see this in that kind of that kind of arc of behavior on foreign policy look at started with what you know i've always argued was a very valiant prince and there's like almost a double meaning in that it's a mix of ilion prince the crown prince of saudi arabia has proved to be quite make a valiant since he took over three years ago in the beginning of two thousand and fifteen has been really quite eager to move up in the hierarchy and take some bold

some people would say a reckless steps in order to strengthen his position within the kingdom taking some measures against people within his own family within the within the regime and people like his allies including the prime minister of lebanon and others the palestinian president the jordanian king and he's just been really pushing and pushing and the latest of course as we all know is qatar taking measures against qatar and so on so forth. i think at this point in time with the we'll see what happened when you know with but clearly all the signs show that this is yet another step of arrogance by the crown prince taking measures thinking that you know there's absolutely no impunity when it comes to whatever policies or whatever action he might take including for example war in yemen and so on so forth now will this mean blowback is this the new bruce that that that that is really awaiting

saudi arabia will now the western allies of saudi arabia and regional allies saudi arabia react with the soldiers themselves now react with all these journalists who that work for saudi media outlets will they do something about what just happened because i think that's a major question otherwise if if there is no price to be paid for what the saudis allegedly did to one of their own journalists critics then i think they're going to go on and on and on and that will be a major major disaster for what so eurabia and the region i want to share thank you very much indeed watching out there news our live from london coming up new details are revealed about one of the men accused of traveling to the u.k. to poison a former russian spy. aid groups warn that two million

afghan children could suffer from severe malnutrition by the end of the year. i did support novak djokovic. on a fourth title in shanghai and a return to the top of the world tennis rankings. outgoing u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley says she won't run against donald trump in the twenty twenty presidential election after announcing her shock resignation on tuesday in a hastily arranged news conference eighty said she fully supports trump but wants to take a break from office again mike hanna reports. many in the security council disagreed with the policies that the us representative championed but during eighteen months of the un nikki haley engendered a great deal of respect forming warm personal relationships with those she supported as well as those she so forcibly opposed the secretary general had

a truly very good working relationship with her he worked. to get through some of the toughest moments i think between the u.s. and the u.n. some diplomat said privately spoken about haley's loss of influence within the trumpet ministration in particular following the appointment of mike pump aoa secretary of state and former u.n. ambassador john bolton as national security adviser but president trump says discussion with haley about her possible resignation had started as long as six months ago and unlike other members who left his administration he keeps open the possibility of her rejoining it we're all happy for you in one way but we hate to lose you hopefully you'll be coming back at some point you want to just be a different capacity you can be picked for all of you that are going to ask about twenty twenty no i'm not running for two hundred twenty i can tell me she will be

doing is campaigning for this one so i want forward to supporting the president in the next election so the question now who's going to be the next ambassador to head up the u.s. mission just over the road. like kind of joins us live now from the u.n. so u.s. president has been saying that the outgoing ambassador nikki haley will help choose her replacement and some names are already been floating around. yes indeed the president also said that the choice would be made within the next two to three weeks possibly even sooner this making very clear that he wants the decision to be made before those mid-term elections take place in the beginning of november but he has just been on his way to a campaign meeting and dura porters asking the president about who is choices would be the name diana palled was thrown out she's a former national security advisor to the president a deputy national security advisor now an executive with goldman sachs he said oh

she would be a good choice but interestingly enough as well his daughter's name ivanka came up what about ivanka somebody called well she'd be a great choice said the president however then i'd be accused of nepotism he went on to say that c.n.n. would love the choice of a bunker trump as the ambassador to the united nations well that may be harpooned joke but certainly there are a large number of names that it appears that president trump will be going through along with the advice from his outgoing united nations ambassador nikki haley but very clearly the choice is going to be made quickly because the trumpet ministration wants to put the salt to bed before those midterm elections take place in november why can i thank you very much. norah rosen is a diplomatic correspondent for al monitor and joins us live now from washington d.c. as if she had a fair amount of clout and she in that position partly because when she started there was appeared to be a certain amount of uncertainty about foreign policy within the administration do

you think that that has settled down now and makes that the job quite different for her to take say or. i think that's exactly right you know you had secretary of state rex tillerson at the beginning was a little bit turfs and reticent and didn't have the warmest relationship with president trump and you also had two national security advisers in quick succession mike flynn and h.r. mcmaster who had similar tensions with trump and haley who has you know political backgrounds and retail political skills seem comfortable kind of you know making the position her own speaking for the administration with a very long leash and i think that leash probably has gotten shorter with the arrival of john bolton who have her same job before as well as mike pompei are playing such a big role and one of the areas she played a big role on north korea as well as iran what do you think was the key to her

staying reasonably close to trying because a lot of people have left administration a picture of really fallen out with them and they and they seem quite palate and that news international has put on the cameras but don't put it on the face of it they seemed reasonably chummy he didn't come back to have pick of any job yeah i mean he seemed really should grins in that appearance at her leaving even though the letter her resignation letter was from a week ago he still seemed kind of upset about it she was very warm she praised his his daughter and son in law in particular i noticed that she did not mention mike pompei or bolton and her remarks. and it seemed like the timing of when trump said she told him she was thinking about leaving at the end of the year was about when bolton and pompei o took those foreign policy positions what about the future i mean she said she went to run for presidency in twenty twenty but you see her being a candidate after that in twenty twenty four maybe. i would have seen her

running possibly in two thousand and twenty and you know who knows maybe there is a chance that as it gets closer and with mahler's. investigation and other developments it could be that trump in the end decides not to run again so that she's she said she's not going to run against him if he's running i think a lot of people see her being a future presidential candidate some people were the local south carolina papers were saying she and her husband have accrued quite a bit of debt in her years of public service the past few years and she may just need to make money or want to be in the private sector for a little bit before she figures out her next possible political plans and in terms of the timing how awkward is this for trump in the end you think i don't think it was awkward i do think there might have been something where the letter that she wanted to resign was from october third which was in the middle of the kavanaugh debate which was so intense last week so she might have wanted to wait till the

kavanaugh issue was resolved on the supreme court and also if to separate her departure from i think a lot of other expected departures expected to come after the midterms including the possibly the attorney general jeff sessions and possibly his deputy so this looks now like it was a clean exit she and trump are in good terms and it doesn't look like she was leaving in what's expected to be a larger wave in a few weeks tourism thank you very much indeed for your thoughts. a suicide bomber has killed an opposition politician in afghanistan's helmand province so i meant and seven others were killed in the explosion during a meeting at his home in on monday the taliban issued a statement condemning the upcoming parliamentary elections says the polls are a u.s. manipulated event. the number of severely malnourished children in afghanistan is

on the rise with aid organizations warn it could reach two million by the end of the year countries are sending in food but that's only half the battle as anybody reports her hair out is often groups like the taliban who are preventing food from being delivered to those in need. of sun it is seven months old she weighed less than seven kilograms when she entered this camp almost half the weight of what a child her age should be. one of a growing number of severely malnourished children who are suffering from lack of food and hunt hygienic living conditions they have fled to camps like these in herat their families are too poor and helpless to survive without outside help a family traveled three hundred fifty kilometers to herat to escape hunger and conflict it's an all too familiar story in afghanistan more than forty percent of children under the age of five have stunted growth through lack of food and poor nutrition and ten percent are wasting away to skin and bones it leaves them prone

to illness and disease and sometimes an early death by the end of this year it is estimated that around two million children could suffer from severe malnutrition. the u.s. is the largest food donor here this year it has donated nearly seventy million dollars to support food and nutrition programs but the food lifeline can easily be cut afghanistan always needs more food but the question is how to get it through to the people who really need it the volatile security situation means that one armed group or another has to give agreement with the prize to get through a match is not always easy. the terrain is difficult often crisscrossing territory controlled by armed factions food and medical convoys are dependent on the permission from these groups no security means no food deliveries more as are sorry we had to leave our area because there was no food coming the taliban stopped it i don't know why instances of convoys being stopped have reduced in the last few

years but they still happen that access is essential for mobile medical teams to help needy civilians aid workers have been attacked and killed in the past and they too need protection from police and i select our next guest to compel economic and we can go everywhere because areas are to priska and then we can help children. it's uncertain if stopping aid is a deliberate policy of armed groups or it's an inevitable consequence of this long running conflict my call to all the parties to the conflict is give people a break they've really had enough this has been going on for nearly forty years for different reasons but you know there are a lot of people here who know nothing but war and they're yearning for peace and they deserve that unless they sell induction in that conflict and improvement in terms of library wants to support communities this intuition i think to do it in

and we mainly become much worse. happily not for obscene or her weight has increased by seven hundred grams in just a week soon she'll no longer be an acutely malnourished baby she doesn't know it yet but hers is a story of hope tony berkeley al-jazeera her out of. south african president serum opposer has accepted the resignation of his embattled finance minister intent on a had been facing calls to step down after admitting to visiting the gupta brothers longtime friends of former president jacob zuma has been accused of corruption i mean a miller has more from johannesburg. 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 nearly 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 his in an important or was in an important portfolio while trusted and up till that point was credible now these revelations of course have brought into question his credibility integrity as well as his character and gotten in a did apologize soon after his testimony to south africa and 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 sometime in a 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 the african chamber of commerce say that says that this is one of the finest appointments yet in the finance ministry. zimbabwe's president amisom says a new tax on bank transactions is a painful but necessary measure to revive the economy levy has led to a public outcry and the reemergence of food and fuel queues amid fears of shortages how do we toss a has more from harare. it's perhaps another sign zimbabwe's economy may take
