egypt. the nobel committee has announced the joint with this year's peace prize. and. al-jazeera has been granted exclusive international rights to interview the winners after the award ceremony here in oslo in december the nobel interview on al-jazeera. it's a very sad situation it's a very bad situation and we want to get to the. u.s. president donald trump says he has discussed jamal khashoggi disappearance with the highest levels of the saudi leadership. but the pressure. is twenty two u.s. senators signed a letter demanding an investigation raising the possibility of sanctions.

also coming up four hundred thousand people ordered to leave florida. and china moves to legalize so-called reeducation camps for we get muslims. welcome to the program twenty two u.s. senators have written a letter to president trump that will force the administration to investigate human rights abuses by saudi arabia the letter that was released a short time ago as a reaction to the disappearance of the saudi john this jamal khashoggi who's been missing since october second well this is him entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last week and has not been seen since then saudi arabia has rejected allegations that he was murdered inside the building on wednesday the u.s. president said he's raised the case with saudi leaders. let me say this it's the

highest. you mentioned more than one more than once you. know what i do anyway and i've always found him to be a fine man we've got a very good relationship i'm not happy about this we have to see what happened. we have to see what happens nobody knows what happened yet they don't know over there but it's a very. situation and it's something we're taking very seriously well back in turkey uncertainty surrounds the investigation turkey says the saudis have agreed to let them search the consulate in istanbul but it's uncertain when or if that will actually happen well we'll get more on the investigation in turkey shortly but first let's get the latest on the developments out of the u.s. particle hane joins us from washington d.c. patty so how significant is this letter then signed by these twenty two senators triggering this investigation and a determination of human rights sanctions in the khashoggi case. this is incredibly

significant it all but guarantees that this is going to remain in the headlines because what they've done here by sending this letter and these are twenty two very prominent senators they're pretty much the voices when it comes to american foreign policy they have signed on sent this letter and what that does is the traders are saying basically the magnitsky act and that says that the white house even astray should has four months one hundred twenty days that they have to report back to congress and say whether or not they believe jamal cuz shaggy's human rights were violated if that's the case then they say that the u.s. is going to have to impose some sort of sanctions and i think what's important in this letter is they talk about not just tough talking about regular saudi people from saudi arabia but people potentially at the highest ranking officials in the government of saudi arabia it's not just the letter that's really significant we're seeing such incredibly harsh language coming from u.s. senators former staunch allies big defenders of saudi arabia people like senator lindsey graham saying that if this is true and these are his words they'll be hell

to pay so we're seeing a bipartisan growing calls for the u.s. to demand answers and if the answers come back as many fear then they say there will be repercussions and we know that some of the competence mohamed bin some on was on tour in the u.s. back in march establishing relations with the u.s. so what happens now. well what we're seeing is this was a coordinated highly paid for p.r. tour it was all across the country from new york to california washington d.c. you're trying to basically say to people come do business in saudi arabia he met with the most powerful and most popular people in this country celebrities billionaires what we're seeing now in social media is a growing call for those very people to denounce the crown prince muhammad bin psalm we're also seeing concrete steps president barack obama's former energy secretary was on the border that was going to look at building that brand new city in saudi arabia he has come out and said he will no longer work with the organization because of these allegations and so he's not going to be alone in this

there's growing pressure on everyone and anyone in america who is involved in saudi arabia to stand up and take a stand thank you when i say so only the turkish media has released surveillance camera video of the suspects jamal the child has more now from istanbul. with every day that goes by more and more information is coming out with regards to what's happened to. the. site from publishing the pictures of the fifteen saudi nationals who the turkish authorities believe form the hit squad that's went after. after he entered that building behind me on that fateful tuesday we understand their job titles in fact this is their identities amongst them is the head of the forensic units in the saudi defense forces and intelligence officer who used to be based in the saudi arabian embassy in london as well as several special forces officers all flew in on that tuesday now they left istanbul less than twenty four hours after arriving some of them on private jets now these fifteen had booked four nights at

hotels nearby but left very suspiciously very quickly that on top of other information including terror traffic camera video from over one hundred fifty cameras across is the ball and other information that the police have is what led them to the conclusion that he was assassinated i learnt earlier that amongst the evidence that is with the investigation is testimony to from inside the consulate at the time that was there which includes sounds of loud scream and shouting as well as calls for help and a sound of a struggle and then sudden silence now the turks have requested to enter the building to search it and despite reports that they were given approval initially what i understand from speaking to sources is that the charges will sorties have not been given approval to search it in the way or with the team that they would like on top of that they also would like to search the home of the consul general

which is a few hundred meters from here where a vehicle left the embassy off the german hundred answered by a couple hours it was a tinted van and went to his house. they have also asked to search some of these vehicles that are registered to the consulates however they have also not given approval now one of the theories behind why the turkish authorities still haven't officially come out and revealed all the evidence is because the moment they officially declare this on camera and own up to the leaks that have been coming that must be coupled with a political decision and most likely that's will include downgrading their diplomatic relation and possibly even expelling some ambassadors or diplomatic staff here it seems that there's trying to seek some sort of way out of this that would maybe make it a bit easier and not make out the fallout so hard but till now that's consensus hasn't been reached while u.s. senators from both parties are questioning the trumpet ministration support for the

saudi and iraqi led coalition fighting in yemen they want assurances that the military alliance is protecting civilians in the conflict rolls in jordan reports. well a letter that has been sent to the secretary of state mike pompei o is basically calling into question his decision last month in september to certify that the saudi government and the u.a.e. government are both using the adequate precautions in order to make certain that yemeni civilians are not being killed during the air war that's being conducted against the rebels this certification it was mandated by congress and so the deadline was coming up in september and so because of the concerns of the u.s. is national security and its financial relationships with these two countries when it comes to weapons sales the secretary of state reportedly made the decision to issue the certification well according to a number of news reports that was

a controversial decision both within the trumpet ministration as well as on capitol hill and so what these congressional leaders who are very active on foreign policy have done is asked for a reconsideration of the certification asking for you fuller explanation because they say that especially in light of the august airstrike in which forty young schoolchildren were killed just north of sanaa the capital of yemen they say that they don't believe that the saudi led coalition is doing enough to prevent civilian casualties in the yemeni civil war in iraq and michael has made landfall and is lashing the u.s. state of florida the council before storm is the third most powerful to hit the u.s. since records began as a major damage to property and hundreds of thousands of homes and businesses are without power or can michael kors thirteen deaths in central america and agalloch it was in the coastal town of up a notch of kona as the storm passed through. but when hurricane michael slammed

into florida's panhandle it came almost as a category five storm the most powerful storm seen in this part of the state since eight hundred fifty. it's a few hours now since it came here to apalachicola bay it's not been too much damage you can see. a tidal surge here that is receding quite quickly there are some businesses there that are underwater but it could be a lot worse in this part of the state given how powerful this storm was and is now heading steadily towards the state of georgia as a category one storm something they haven't seen in decades or is now a state of emergency there but it may be a few hours till we get a true picture of just how much damage has been done at least ten people have died in flash flooding on the spanish island of new york floodwaters uprooted trees and buried cars and mud the military's been deployed to help with the clean up operation let's also to come your knowledge is here including a man's arrest in germany of the murder of gary and journalist victoria more on that stay with us.

from brisk news and fuel. to the warm tranquil waters of southeast asia. hello there the rain is clearing away from the southeastern parts of china now there's just a bit of cloud left really on thursday a bit more in the way of what weather perhaps for the far eastern parts and into the northern parts of taiwan but elsewhere just as good of cloud that cloud going to be building pushing northwards as we head through friday but for shanghai more in the way of dry weather for us in a temperature of around to twenty a bit further towards the south of course in the philippines lots of dry weather here too in fact lots of sunshine just a few isolated showers to find towards the west that's why there's more in the way of wet weather and it looks like that's where we'll see the majority of the showers as we head through thursday and friday so some of the downpours here a lot need to be rather heavy they push a bit further south to say for some of us in java we can expect to see

a few more showers come friday if we had across towards india of course we've got this storm with us typically that's working its way across the east impalas that's going to give us some flooding rains as it gradually begins to ease as we head through thursday and into friday the only reason it's falling apart is because it's lost its energy source it's no longer over the sea still plenty of downpours hit we will see some flooding further towards the west it's largely fine and dry in the north that's where the brightest of the weather is new delhi up a thirty one more clout towards the south. there with sponsored by qatar race. and i have three jobs and i want to only have one but i'm soo providing four months from. the first time i was admitted to hospital i didn't show any signs of i miss. the hour but i got up on my opinion and i have become very fast and stay.
