with garbage generated by one point four billion people. but where does it go. on china's was just. a turkish newspaper identifies fifteen nationals police want to question about the disappearance of saudi journalist. i'm richelle carey this is live from doha also coming up calling it quits u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley announces she is stepping down. south africa's finance minister steps down in connection with the corruption probe into former president jacob zuma. and two countries one alphabet we'll look at efforts to unify the language between south and north korea.

a major development in the disappearance of saudi journalists. the new york times reporting that he was killed at his country's consulate in istanbul on the highest orders of the saudi government article cites a senior turkish official has been missing for a week now this is how mentoring the saudi consulate the last time he was seen alive a turkish newspaper daily has published photos of the fifteen saudis who police suspect may have been involved in disappearance local media reports say the group flew to istanbul on two planes and entered the consulate the same day the journalist was killed the washington post which wrote for says u.s. intelligence and separate communications of saudi officials discussing a plan to capture him has more from washington d.c. . the two most prominent newspapers in the united states both coming out with

stories about do the disappearance of jamal khashoggi first the new york times they are saying that a source is telling them that intelligence community believes that his disappearance was signed off on by the highest levels of the saudi government they're citing the source saying that the complexity of the scope the potential ramifications would have had to have been signed off at a high level that they do not specify who that could be they're also reporting that sources believe show he was killed within two hours after entering the consulate and that his body was dismembered by a bone saw that was brought in by those operatives now to the washington post the washington post is saying that one source has told them that u.s. intelligence found communications within saudi arabia the talked about trying to lure back to saudi arabia doesn't say if it was to arrest him to interrogate him to kill him doesn't say whether or not that information was passed along to him before he entered the consulate so these are two of the most respected newspapers in the united states al jazeera has not been able to independently confirm this but this

will certainly increase the pressure on president donald trump to say or do something because this was a prominent american columnist he is a beloved among a small group of the intelligence elites in washington d.c. and they are speaking out this story is making front page news it is on all of the cable news channels including the one that the president watches the most fox news it is being greeted with a sense of outrage and that is only growing as each story reveals new information barbara pearson is a non resident scholar at the middle east institute and served as u.s. ambassador to turkey he says the case could change the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia. well i think this is really pressure to put the saudis on notice that they must give a transparent explanation very quickly i think otherwise the tide will really turn against them and it's now been nearly a week and nothing has been shown to be proven about his safety so i just

remind our listeners that recently forty seven senators voted to cut off the saudi arms sales now that's four short of a majority but this is exactly the kind of incident that wouldn't just be a senator holding up arms sales as one of your correspondent said but actually legislation in the u.s. senate to stop saudi arms sales so it is beginning to reach a genuine crisis point now which can be very quickly but the saudis are really on the spot i seriously doubt the senate's going to vote to cut off saudi arms sales this week they'll try to get the saudis to give an explanation the administration will try to be as cautious as they can be given the realities of the circumstance after all researchers show he is also a journalist for an american newspaper and but but eventually and that may be

quickly if the saudis don't come up with something the arms sales bill the the the lack of interest and pleasure in the yemen war that saudi is prosecuting those are the kinds of things that can turn very quickly into a political statement that will damage saudi relations with the united states and damage saudi's reputation worldwide and a surprise announcement the u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley has resigned and will leave her job at the end of the year she says she wants a break from public life and has ruled out running against donald trump in the two thousand and twenty presidential election i can have reports from the united nations. many in the security council disagreed with the policies that the us representative championed again but during eighteen months at 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 haleigh'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 know hopefully you'll be coming back at some point but if you want to just be a different capacity you can have your pick if are all in here that are going to ask about twenty twenty no i'm not running for two hundred twenty and i can promise you when i'll be doing is campaigning for this one so i look forward to supporting the

president in the next elections the question now who's going to be the next ambassador to head up the u.s. mission just over the road president trump says he'll announce a successor in the next two to three weeks possibly even sooner signaling that he wants to make the announcement before those crucial midterm elections in just under a month well dana certainly a person i would consider as she is under consideration and the president's daughter ivanka i think of aga would be great about that there's a real idea you know what i think or because you fear cues of no business. even though i'm not sure there's anybody more confident in the world but that's ok but. but we are lucky that numerous people the discussion put on hold as the president has yet another campaign rally to attend my kind of al-jazeera united nations british asa republican strategist and consultant she says despite when the early said she could still run for president in two thousand and twenty. if he did i

think there's something more here you know she is a political animal that should not be discounted in this moment making this move on the day that justice cavanagh had its first full day in the united states supreme court is truly something i think that was quite how could she is somebody that is a force to be reckoned with and i was certainly surprised by this move as many washington insiders were people in the white house were taken aback secretary mike pompei all was also taken aback these are not small things the fact that she is choosing to move on to the time that is before the u.s. midterm elections that is notable and we should really take pause and consider what this means for the country certainly it was important that she appeared with the president today in the white house but i would not rule nikki haley out from anything moving forward and that is certainly including a two thousand and twenty run there's a few things here this is a u.n.

ambassador ship she has two seemingly young children still look they're still in school and she's been in public services two thousand and five she was the governor south carolina beginning in two thousand and eleven she's had a lot going on in her life so for a woman in public service this type of role weighs heavily and i don't think she did this without any sort of calculation certainly it's a surprise like i said earlier but looking at the calculus i think she is really seeming to take twenty twenty quite seriously and you never know we could be looking at a senator nikki haley as well south african president several ramaphosa has accepted the resignation of his finance minister laneway ne ne faced calls to step down after admitting that he visited two wealthy indian brothers accused eventual and former influencing that as former leader jacob zuma in a was the first finance minister in three years i mean 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 group to 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 a 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 he is in an important or was in an important portfolio while trusted and out 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 sometimes 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 taiwan's president has criticized china urging it to be or. sponsible

country rather than a source of conflict that's a quote speaking on the island's national day saying when beijing's increased pressure is threatening the status quo across the taiwan strait insisted that her country would not recklessly provoke china have taken to build relations with a number of countries after several nations cut ties with it so lead on al jazeera accusations in the us of contact between the two thousand and sixteen truck campaign in foreigners but this time it is not the russians. and john hendren in chicago here and across the u.s. millennium goals are about to become the largest voting bloc i'll tell you what that means coming up.

however the indian summer continues in most of the eastern states of the u.s. and an east and counter sure markedly warm enough to cut off this warm front going in that direction where the bumps take it means that the want to sit in that direction for now but against a contrast it's only five degrees in denver so that's rain and then turning easily to snow in colorado the dakotas and encounter was in the warmth itself we've got a hurricane coming up to landfall jury in daylight hours or wednesday on the florida panhandle of course of rain comes one ahead of it and they'll be a storm surge with a cause significant and i suspect that after that it carries on traveling it will lose some strength but take it right in through georgia and eventually the carolinas and beyond that by charley get to say we tuck ins and start likud rabidity chicago's down to twelve snow is falling pretty heavily there probably are . dakotas and he says maybe northern wisconsin and certainly count on terry is focusing on it but not in toronto you'll notice that there is the satellite picture shows an earlier view of this developing hurricane as it went past cuba which is

about twenty four hours ago western kubrick or some minor damage it's still raining fairly heavily in cuba not as bad as it was and the rain still falling fairly heavily in nicaragua and costa rica. imagine this life you see beads for genius and boy is one of these rights i do know too little and indeed the junk that is followed. by nigeria is sucked up by nigeria is your development my major is excellent news this is my nigerian. to my mind on al-jazeera.

crushing al jazeera let's recap the top stories for you now the new york times is reporting that missing saudi journalists he was assassinated on the highest orders of the kingdom he was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul a week ago the times article cites a senior turkish official al-jazeera has not yet been able to verify that court and turkish newspaper daily sabah has post published photos of fifteen saudi nationals who police want to question over disappearance the washington post says u.s. intelligence intercepted communications of saudi officials discussing a plan to capture him. u.s. ambassador to the united nations nikki haley has denied she's planning on running in the two thousand and twenty presidential election after resigning from her post

says she's taking time out from public office. u.k. based an investigative website claims to have revealed the real identity of the second suspect accused of poisoning a russian double agent says russian military doctor alexander michigan used a different name to travel to cells very in the u.k. that's where circus cripple and his daughter were attacked with a nerve agent in march lawrence lee reports from london. if people are trying to murder you then perhaps you can take a little satisfaction from the facts that they are officially heroes of the russian federation much of the life of dr alexander michigan was put on display in westminster housing records car insurance documents even the swampy village in the arctic where he grew up all of it providing a body of evidence that he was involved in the assassination attempts on circus cripple this was a man who had claimed he'd abandon attempts to visit souls because the troll because of the snow and slush yet the village he came from is in permafrost most of

the year still he rose through specialist medical school spent time on the cover in 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 vassal sense but we do have multiple photographs showing him he had 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 is visible in all the photographs russia digital at nasa edge custom 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 russian involvement is now overwhelming and we've had hundreds of g.r.u. officers maimed 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 you have a problem of course you might solve you that it's a shame that colonel. totally chepe go and dr alexander if that's their real names try to present themselves as unhappy tourists called bush and petrol in salzburg for entirely benign reasons drooled to the russian states both men are heroes and so was a traitor but they can hardly change their story now because the people will be most pleased about salif the british governments 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 base incompetence the russians themselves have always maintained that the british

column provide any evidence but if this isn't proof it's really difficult to know what is lawrence lee al-jazeera in london. and police say they plan to release a man who was arrested and questioned in connection with the murder of a journalist officer say the man is not a suspect thirty year old victoria was raped and killed in the northern town of ruse she'd been investigating alleged fraud with a youth funds between businessman and politicians or body was found in a park and showed signs of suffocation and blows to the head a suicide attack in afghanistan has killed an opposition candidate mohamed sachs i was among eight people who were killed in campaign office in helmand province eleven others were injured parliamentary elections are due to be held later this month and agencies are warning that the number of surveilling malnourished children in afghanistan is on the rise to two million children don't have enough to eat countries are sending in food but that's only half the battle often armed groups

like the taliban prevent the food from being delivered to those who need it to neighbor reports on herat. absented is seven months old she weighed less than seven kilograms when she entered this camp almost half the weight or what a child her age should be. she is one of a growing number of severely malnourished children who are suffering from lack of food and one hygienic living conditions they have fled to camps like these in harat their families are too poor and helpless to survive without outside help a family traveled three hundred fifty kilometers to herat to skate 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 both a prize to get through 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 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 or 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 an iraqi has taken an economic and we can't go everywhere because areas are too prisca and then we can't 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 bizarrely induction in that conflict and improvement in terms of library wants to some odd communities this intuition affected today and we mainly become much was. happily not for up son or her wages increased by

not hire this company sold to milly 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 we have to keep in mind the big extraordinary importance of social media in gauging with voters to political campaigns not just in the united states but around the world as with many other countries foreign companies or foreign individuals cannot donate hard to say pay 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 all actions 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

it shows that pretty much anything is possible. millennia the bearded coffee shop dwelling hipsters and those less easily given to stereotype or on the verge of becoming america's largest voting bloc voters ages twenty to thirty five are expected to overtake boomers in population in twenty nineteen is their numbers swelled to seventy three million in a nation of three hundred twenty five million the youth demographic the young voter the new voter demographic of eighteen to about twenty nine only shows up to the polls about eighteen percent of the time that's about one in five if we can get it to three out of five we would control and shift every major election to come midterm local presidential all of it rising property prices mounting student debt and a lack of action on gun control and climate change we recently have millennia of leaning away from capitalism into lord european style socialism your parents so dream go to college you can get out get good work provide for your family white picket fence

with a nice lawn but that's not happening nowadays the apparent political leanings of this generation have led to his surge in support for left wing parties such as the democratic socialists of america the party has grown eight hundred percent in three years democratic socialism is just about returning the democratic party to what its roots are and seeing who. who it's basis and. promoting policies that the base their base wants and sort of an unabashed way the party now counts nearly fifty thousand members in all fifty states most of them. the big question for the november midterm elections will be vote a recent ad offers this cross generational taunt dear young people don't vote don't fall for having spine the way it is younger voters have always leaned leftward but they've always been outvoted by older americans turnout is always the most

with everybody else in korea through the written down the spoken word but the seven decades of separation after the korean war has not helped that process. no the division has been causing the divergence of the meaning and even the usage of the language between the south and the north are different events visitors have been learning that while north korea has been holding on to more traditional words the south has been adopting more loanwords from other languages for example this in the south is called bona. but in the north it's. quite literally finger ring bread and when you take a shower in the morning you use what translates as pear water so over in the south more simply than. with people from the north on the south already not understanding up to a third of every day words the others are using academics have been working on

a common dictionary as a possible solution to language difficulties were clear to see at the recently unions of families separated by the war and trying to communicate again after decades apart consider the prospect of reunification and you can take that problem and multiply it by a nation. at the headlines right now on al-jazeera the new york times is reporting that missing a saudi journalist. assassinated on the highest orders of the kingdom and the washington post says u.s. intelligence intercepted communications of saudi officials discussing a plan to capture him was last saying enter entering the saudi consulate in istanbul a week ago al-jazeera has not yet been able to verify those facts from washington d.c. particle hain has more on the new york times revelations. they're also reporting
