what they have moved here to the saudi embassy not far away from the white house is got to be said this is a small group but they say it's important that they're here to make sure that the saudis know that this isn't going to go away that it's not going to disappear in the minds of the u.s. people because of course he was indeed a u.s. resident he lived in virginia probably new more than twenty kilometers from where i'm standing and know they're reading out parts of his writing that appeared in the washington post now as i say there was a gathering outside the newspaper in the last couple of hours people who knew him people who respected him people who watched with them and certainly from the hour who is the executive director of the council for islamic american relations well he was very insistent that the united states should be doing more on this issue we are coerced and demand the saudi government to give clear answers and not to evade
9:01 pm
the question he entered the saudi consulate and he never left if they have a proof that he left the consulate alive they should share it with us until we have not seen concrete convincing evidence that he left the consulate and he is alive so the burden of the of the proof lies squarely on the saudi officials. now there may not be many people here one time on a wednesday in the center of washington d.c. but i can tell you just behind our camera there are a number of people watching and this is exactly what the organizers here could paint among them to remember them as antiwar protesters who've destructed a number of senate hearings over the last few years while they're here as well and they're saying that the people stopping are just as important as the people standing there because the raising awareness of jamal khashoggi case they want the american people to ask questions of their elected representatives and they want the
9:02 pm
american government to do a lot more they believe that the saudis should not be allowed just to use the very close relationship with the white house to push away questions but there has to be answers and they say they'll continue to come back here to this point in washington d.c. to make sure that the saudis are held to account to provide their story of what they see happen to jamal khashoggi and if it doesn't match up with what they're being told by the turks that there is a full international inquiry and if he was killed then those responsible are brought to justice i don't fish outside that protest in washington d.c. allan thank you. well obviously targeted because it was or is a journalist and the critic well another person who's been targeted because of being a journalist is a bulgarian journalist. victoria mari nova now actually german police have arrested a suspect in the rape and murder of victoria marino and prosecutors are
9:03 pm
investigating whether he can actually be extradited back to bulgaria now one of misfiring overs last t.v. shows in them she had interviewed two journalists investigating suspected corruption involving businessmen politicians and the e.u. funds now the suspect seventeen casimir of reportedly left bulgaria for germany on sunday and risk picked up by hamburg police on tuesday evening but when it came has more now from munich. it's now been confirmed that the german authorities apprehended a twenty year old bald garion national on choose the evening in near the northern german city of hamburg this was following the application for a european arrest warrant gary and colleagues clearly the ball gary know for a season wants to have this person this individual in their custody not in german custody a process will start the extradition process which could go so long as sixty days
9:04 pm
if this suspect decides to resist extradition however if he were to acquiesce to agree to extradition the process would be a lot quicker the point to be made here is the german authorities say it's because of the european arrest warrant that this arrest was able to be made so quickly the questions then will be well as i say how quickly can this person be returned to bulgaria and then other questions too about what was the motive behind the attack on the the journalist the thirty year old journalist who was raped and murdered those questions will obviously be part of the investigation that takes place in bulgaria. still to come in this half hour of news a china legalizes internment camps for weaker muslims. will tell you why the government is justifying the move and when mark world mental health day by looking at a new approach that they're taking to treat depression in sweden one of the world's

apparently happiest countries. hello again it's good to have you back where across southern parts of china we are watching a frontal boundary make its way towards the south and that means we'll be seeing a lot of clouds across the area now tomorrow that front makes its way to the northern part of the south china sea heavy rain across parts of taiwan for one condom to be right on the edge of it but we do think that as we go towards friday more clouds are going to be in your forecast we don't expect to see much in terms of rain though just a partly cloudy changing to overcast day as we go towards friday and also into the weekend there well across india we're going to see the very heavy rain showers associate with a site clone here in the bay of bengal looking at the clouds right there extending up here towards the north now with that storm making landfall we do expect to see
9:06 pm
very heavy rainfall across much of the region focal cuda heavy rainfall for you as well that means localized flooding is going to continue from thursday up to friday and possibly into saturday as well as a system pushes to the north and then over here towards the northeast so we're going to be watching this very carefully over the next few days and we're also watching what is happening in the arabian sea as the storm system makes its way towards oman now this is moving quite slowly over the next few days but promises to bring some very heavy rain across that suddenly coast of amman and localized flooding is expected as we go towards the weekend. capturing a moment in time. snapshots of the lives. other stories . providing a glimpse into someone else's world. inspiring

9:08 pm
state of florida any time now with warnings of potentially catastrophic consequences the category four hurricane is expected to be the worst to hit florida in more than a century it's already responsible for thirteen deaths in central america michael has sprung up with relatively little warning and residents have been told to take cover with no time left to evacuate and the gallagher is in the coastal city of dallas but you call it in the northwest part of florida right in the path of hurricane michael so what's it looking like i mean it's obviously pouring down with rain how much worse is that expected to get. i mean it's going to get away with this in this town hall is still a little ways off maybe colorado or also with the winds picking up tremendously here. held all around we. were expecting. to about forty kilometers an hour gusts possibly up to three hundred kilometers per hour
9:09 pm
about three hundred seventy five thousand residents are being told by the way over to the this point saying if you. it's simply too late he got to say he prays to god that know if they think you'll be with their children but the big concern for the authorities here isn't just this wind and this rain it's the tidal surge that is expected to. come on the coastline here into some of these low lying very vulnerable communities we're talking about a four meter storm surge that happens to hurricane is so powerful it pushes the water from the shoreline all the way up into areas like this and way beyond if you look at some of the predictions the parties have come out what they're talking about tidal surges all the way inland so this is an extremely dangerous storm the most powerful visit the florida panhandle since if you want to give you an idea of just how powerful and how deadly this storm could be these conditions are expected to last for a good few hours and this storm is so powerful that even by the time it comes in
9:10 pm
line and reaches the next state not to visit cuba it's still expected to be our again all the way up into the light of this is an extremely dangerous storm it's life threatening don't you think it is very seriously indeed but as you'll see in a moment so much dr impress me right now some of the residents to stay to hunker down and really put their lives at risk. and i mean obviously a powerful storm but also came quite quickly the people that either by choice so they didn't get round didn't evacuate what are they doing right now and then their homes what can they do to try to keep themselves and their loved ones safe. i didn't quite hear your question i think you're asking about evacuees but it's difficult enough at this point who's actually heeded those warnings certainly the cause of place certainly a lot of people have left to go stay with friends and family in hotels away from this coastline but it's. not really all that right now although these winds if they
9:11 pm
are sustained at two hundred fifty kilometers an hour will cause a lot of structural damage one estimate is already over one hundred billion dollars with damage to the florida panhandle this goal is so wide it goes from the state line with alabama all the way down to almost threatening tampa on the west coast of florida so this is a serious situation the only good thing perhaps this is this is a very fast moving storm so it won't linger over the coastline like previous hurricanes but it's not only moving fast these winds are really starting to pick up now and of course if those tribal surges on as predicted that the catastrophic damage they cause it's hard to imagine that is what but it could be really really bad and gallagher with the latest there from what you call in northwest florida where the storm is meant to hit. thank you. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov says it's deal with turkey to establish a demilitarized zone in syria's province is on track he says more than
9:12 pm
a thousand fighters have already withdrawn from the last rebel held stronghold ahead of on october fifteenth deadline reports from neighboring lebanon. heavy weapons have been removed from a planned demilitarized zone in the turkey's state media say the syrian opposition and what it called. armed groups complied with an october tenth deadline it was the first major test of a deal with russia to avoid a syrian government offensive a twenty kilometer zone will surround the rebel controlled province that borders turkey which is overseeing its creation so far there is no opposition particularly from a sham which controls most of the province the armed group is considered a terrorist organization by the international community it hasn't commented on the reported withdrawal and it has yet to announce its position concerning the agreement but it has been quietly complying it is also required to withdraw its

fighters many of them foreigners by october fifteenth. experts who have been watching the sham or h.t.s. is evolvement over the years say it is part of its policy of pragmatism which began when it tried to rebranded self by publicly disengaging from al qaida. but has no way out so no way out. and keep much of its. war. or other. keep it's positions trying to negotiate a deal with the turkish authorities the turkish government has been trying to convince h.t.s. to disband the enjoying the mainstream syrian opposition the most powerful alliance is divided. a conservative one that called starkey
9:14 pm
an enemy that serving their regime and the other is led by giuliani he wants a diplomatic solution. turkey use diplomacy force and it was ready to mobilize its syrian allies against those who oppose the deal. the deal is being implemented but statements by syrian government officials including president bashar assad are raising concerns assad said the deal is temporary and. return to state control but many believe it will be outside players particularly russia and turkey who will decide the future of syria's north. a new front line has now been created between opposition fighters and syrian government troops it's expected to remain quiet but the deal doesn't decide the fate of the province as a whole and it doesn't end the war. beirut. china has legalized internment camps for week are muslims in the remote western

patients and social workers got together to create a shared community that would ensure those who got out of the often brutal mental detention facilities of the time it would never have to go back so these are the what three hundred thirty houses that currently are around the world really the united states europe very dominant but a lot of work required in latin america africa asia there's still work to do it needs to be a clubhouse in every country. central thing about the clubs model we talk about the need to be needed you need a place where you want when you where you are. accepted for who you are. i was her home for many years and isolated myself it was suggested to me to come here and i thought what do i have to lose. voluntary to come here that's very important that you come here because you want to come here not because someone else
9:20 pm
saying you have to be a. human model it's not a swedish model american model and. why does it work everywhere because people are the same everywhere we need to be seen we need to be loved we need to be part of something. i don't know how old is either a stalker. and now a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera the u.s. president has said he has spoken to the saudis at the highest level following the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi donald trump says he wants to get to the bottom of what happened to the government critic president trump's comments come as turkish media named fifteen men the. involved in the household g.'s disappearance turkish security sources say the government critic was killed inside the saudi consulate last tuesday with the suspects being dubbed the kill team one
9:21 pm
of them is said to be a top forensic expert with the saudi government he and his fourteen accomplices reportedly arrived on separate private jets from riyadh to istanbul prosecutors in germany are investigating whether the suspect in the rape and murder of a bulgarian journalist can be extradited back to bulgaria victoria mari novo was killed in the northern bulgarian town of ruses on saturday she'd been investigating alleged fraud with european union funds involving businessmen and politicians hurrican michel is you to make landfall in the u.s. state of florida any time now with warnings of potentially catastrophic consequences the category four hurricane is expected to be the worst to hit florida in more than a century it's already been responsible for thirteen deaths in central america at least nine people have been killed in flash flooding on the spanish island of my yorka following torrential rains in the town of san florence near this calf the
9:22 pm
bass on tuesday residents were forced to flee after rivers burst their banks and swamped homes with muddy water. and. joins us live now from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and jamal we have been getting some new reports donald trump said he has tried or made some contact with the saudis at the highest level tell us more about what the u.s. presidents have because of course he is potentially a key player in all of this. indeed this is the second time the u.s. president has spoken on the case of jamal khashoggi he had said a couple of days ago that he was in liking what he was hearing now he's saying that he's spoken to as you said there are saudis at the highest level of you see donald trump is a very good friend as he says of crown prince muhammad bin solomon and king solomon
9:23 pm
himself he said that he wanted to bring. part no we assume obviously with that for france or his fiance had eja ganga's to the white house and speak to her and he wants to get to the bottom of what's happened to him obviously maybe this is more of a not escalation but at least maybe stronger words coming from the u.s. president but it is going to be a very tightrope that he's going to walk because on the one hand there is a lot of outrage and rightly so amongst the u.s. media corps but also amongst civil rights groups in the united states that a journalist was killed especially one who used to write for the washington post one of the leading outlets in the united states and on the other hand donald trump has relied a lot on hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars coming from saudi arabia to pump into the economy which he is so proud of the job that he's done there so
9:24 pm
the reality when it comes to international relations and politics is that one is tied to the other so depending on how he plays this we'll see just how significant the blow back on riyadh will be we've already heard other comments obviously in the past couple of days from the u.k. foreign secretary is there was comments made on wednesday from the germans again about what was happening from the european union the un's special reports war on freedom of expression and now this latest comments by donald trump it seems that all of that is. falling in line with the theory that we have been talking about that the turks will only an ounce. officially. through a press conference of some sorts the findings of the criminal investigation once they've got their ducks in a row in terms of how they're going to respond diplomatically in order for that to happen i think they're trying to find some sort of international consensus around it and comments like that from donald trump may make the process
9:25 pm
a bit easier or at least to be quicker and jim out just remind this exactly what the picture is looking like right now because obviously we have. it going to the saudi consulate or last tuesday now i mean beyond that there is allegations of suspicion you know much of it credible but just paint what the most likely scenario is right now of what actually happened to him. so in terms of let's start with evidence and then rule going to the information given to us that is supported by the evidence the evidence has been given by the police on officially or so it's actually leaked to turkish media outlets as well as others that started off with. video footage of actually entering the door behind me last tuesday that sets the onus on the saudis to prove that he exited we never saw that other evidence that we had of the airplanes these two private jets that landed
9:26 pm
that's had some of the fifteen man hit squad as the turks of the scribe them arriving early on tuesday vehicles used by those fifteen men driving through the consulates coming out of the consulate some of them going to the consul general's house others going to a hotel those fifteen men checking into different hotels for four nights but actually leaving just a couple of hours after in those vehicles going back to the airports at the airport some sort of discussions with different staff and then them on the plane the idea or what we understand the information that has a company that has been that those people identified in those fifteen men include they had a forensics for the saudi defense includes special forces members from saudi arabia include somebody who was head of the intelligence units in the saudi embassy in the united kingdom in london that has been verified that information makes you think why are those fifteen people sent there why were they sent for less than twenty
9:27 pm
four hours. and returned despite having checked in for four days at hotels and that would lead you to believe as well as the witness testimony that we've just learned from our sources over the past few hours that there was a witness inside at the time she was then heard loud screaming and shouting in some sort of a struggle and then sudden silence that the turks managed to conclude from that as well as other evidence that they still haven't disclosed that it was killed we are hearing now other reports so for example reuters news agency quotes a british intelligence source who is quoting a saudi informant through them that's actually the plan was to kidnap but that plan was botched it went wrong that they drugged him too much and therefore. he died but then that begs the question why would you send the forensic head of forensics here why would it be done in such a way that it would look like the team that you've put together is actually a death squad and not one they are to kidnap so there are many different theories
9:28 pm
but what we know for sure at least from the evidence is that he went in he didn't come out what we know based on the information was that he was killed and what's become very apparent is that the turks like us here are just holding back on announcing it to officially from a criminal perspective because that must be accompanied with diplomatic and political decisions in the going to be hard decisions to make because turkey already has a lot on its plate in terms of internal strife as well as externally with its neighbors and other issues such as for knowledge with saudi arabia is going to add a lot of strain on the foreign policy of both turkey but also saudi arabia as well that's why the reason need for international consensus as far as the turks are concerned. with the latest analysis there outside the saudi consulate in istanbul jamal for the moment thank you and alice go to the white house and speak to our correspondent there kimberly how for reaction from washington d.c. so kimberly the president had spoken before but considering just how strong the
9:29 pm
links are between this white house and the saudi government perhaps not a strongly as some people were hoping that he would what did he say recently has he changed his tone in any way. the president has been keeping his cards pretty close to his chest and he continues to do so but he has at least given us a bit of an understanding about what's happening in the process not a lot of detail but a little the white house press pool brought into a meeting unscheduled for the press to be there initially it was closed press but reporters brought in we're still waiting for the full tape playback but as often is the case reporters leaking some of the information that the president said out and when asked about this he said in fact that he has been in touch with the saudis we don't know much more detail than that we're hoping that the playback of the actual tape will actually illuminates in terms of when this call took place what was
9:30 pm
discussed and with whom the president spoke what the president did say is that he believes in his view this is a bad situation i expect that he probably expounded on not a little bit but again the first information we have is what the president has said for some time now and that is in the recent hours and days that he is very concerned about this the official lines coming from the state department is that there is an effort to push for a transparent investigation and that this investigation be made public in terms of the results the other important detail that has been coming out of the white house so far is with regard to the fiance of the missing journalist she did pen an open letter almost if you will to the washington within the washington post published by the washington post to president trump directly appealing to him for help and for him to intervene given the relationship between this white house and we should point out some of the preceding white house this is well and the kingdom the saudi
9:31 pm
arabian kingdom so it appears that donald trump has at least responded to that in terms of the initial appeal saying that he would like to meet with the fiance that he would like her to come to the white house. whether or not there are further details about what they hope to discuss we're still waiting for that information but certainly it has advanced in terms of the story that the white house is giving the indication given the high level of interest not only from the american public but also on capitol hill many congressional members pressuring the white house to take an active role in this that the president at least is giving indications that he is responding and that this is advancing that the united states is using both its app economic as well as diplomatic leverage and kimberly we are hoping to hear from the president himself he did speak just a few minutes ago and we are hoping to get that video and one of the things that he
9:32 pm
was addressing of course was the threat of hurricane michael in the florida soon as we get it we will play that but another thing that he mentioned of course was a possible successor to nikki haley who shocked a lot of people in the white house not the white house sorry be un and and beyond when she announced her resignation she's stepping down as u.n. ambassador in january who could be the replacement be who did the president mention . well if he's mentioned a name specifically in the oval office just moments ago i have not seen evidence of that but i can tell you there's a pretty substantial and robust list of of people that are being considered including dina powell who left this white house to go work at goldman sachs earlier this year and has is very well respected in the national security community and is certainly we are told at least considering our entertaining the possibility of returning to the administration in this role one person that is not according to
9:33 pm
her her twitter account not under consideration and does not wish to be under consideration is the president's own daughter of onka trump there was some speculation here in the domestic media that he was going to select evocate trump for a role a role that he said she would fill very well but the president even saying as he departed the white house that because of nepotism because of accusations of nepotism he would not put her in that role so that is something that. well the president believes his daughter is qualified she would not be taking the place so you're right in terms of this oval office meeting this is scheduled because there are the administrators handling domestic weather crisis here in the united states in florida in fact hurricane michael which is turning into a very severe weather event that the initially this was a scheduled meeting for there to be an update on how things were progressing for the president we understand the media was brought in and it was here that he made the comment really fragile just story there because we can actually we can actually
9:34 pm
hear from the president. there in the oval office just a few minutes ago let's listen in russian and truthfully rapidly intensify. and unfortunately that's typical of the gold coast and when they do this their citizens have less time to prepare or the warnings we are concerned that many citizens chose not to heed the warning but were. prepared with search and rescue teams to try to go in and do what we can any questions. yesterday when we were concerned that we were not we did not like the level of evacuation activity that we were seeing and you know governor scott. you know this dam he leaned forward used the new wireless emergency alert capabilities that we have and sent out text you know text messaging last night went forward and said hey
9:35 pm
get out of there and so we were trying to get people to really take this serious storm seriously a lot of people did heed the warning but then there are those who chose to stay behind and unfortunately first responders may not be able to go in and rescue those who want to want to this point. the other governors depending on what happens here but there.
