9:06 am
days 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 lawyers representing iran a begun their case at the un's top court in the hague to win back two billion dollars from the u.s. government iran says the americans are violating a nine hundred fifty five treaty which the u.s. terminated days before the case began saying bradley has more from tehran after

listening to us legal counsel spend hours accusing iran of masterminding decades worth of global terrorism so it was a ranch turn to address the international court of justice at the hague complicated legal arguments boiled down to one thing iran's lawyers made the case that the judicial legislative and executive branches of american government had together fabricated the legal backing for a glorified smash and grab to take two billion dollars belonging to iran central bank. reason for existence they're given to satisfy the mystic agent. and designed by the us government to facilitate and export the seizure of any a very liberal iranian and uranium companies ascents they also argue that blaming iran for terrorism in their opening remarks was a political stunt by america's lawyers to distract the court from the merits of the case before it the united states approach seems to be that the rest some states
9:08 am
that it considers so bad that they should not be allowed to put their case and to answer the defenses of the other side in a court of law well that approach does little for the rule of law or to encourage the peaceful settlement of international dispute and it is legally untenable iran's defenders use the phrase international law dozens of times pitching the idea that internationalism is more important than an america first approach especially in cases being heard at the world court it was a stark difference from the u.s. challenge to the court's jurisdiction in the matter and demands for a dismissal on day one of proceedings lawyers made the case that a twenty six thousand law that allowed u.s. citizens to sue foreign powers over attacks on u.s. soil was specifically written to hurt iranians a canonical year and that protection for iran central bank under the one nine

9:16 am
suicide bombing offenses they all deny mohammed is sixteen and he's serving a five year sentence for possessing a roadside bomb he says he was framed by family and his and claims he has no connection with the taliban. i have nothing to do with the taliban bad people pay the police to frame me but i did nothing. this type of facility is the first of its kind in the country it houses thirty four detainees age from twelve to seventeen and they are part of a new strategy by the afghan government to move from previous harsh detention conditions to a new more compassionate approach aimed at winning hearts and minds. we try and reverse the taliban brainwashing we are also using some of the same techniques but they only explain to the kids one side and we explain through education both sides and try to tell them that everything that they've been told is not true. once these were cells and now their classrooms boys are taught to read
9:17 am
and write here and given an education they otherwise wouldn't get is designed to show what life is like away from taliban control in many ways they are more fortunate than children detained in other parts of the country. i am studying and i'm going to know all about good things now when i am released i will continue with my life. to marchmont aware that some of the juvenile centers have reasonable living conditions but we get reports of abuse in some of them because of a lack of education there is not violence and sexual abuse from orland officials say these methods are proving success. well in eighty percent of cases but some would argue that the inmates have no choice but to comply but there are no guarantees that once they leave here they won't succumb to the pressures and circumstances that lead them here in the first place. lack of food in prospects can be a driving force behind a young boy's thinking and with a dye conditions in many parts of rural afghanistan it will not be difficult for

the taliban to find willing recruits there are concerns of these new government methods don't work these teenagers could pose a threat in the future not only in afghanistan but also other countries to help create. suicide attacks or global threat not just to afghanistan and if we don't stop them here then they can happen in other countries as we have seen. it's hard to imagine watching them play volleyball that these boys' lives have been so marred by violence like many others they've lost more than their freedom they have also lost their youth tony berkeley al-jazeera kabul. time for a quick recap our top stories here on al-jazeera twenty two u.s. senators have written a letter to president trump little force of ministration to investigate human rights abuses by saudi arabia and raises the possibility of sanctions in reaction to the disappearance of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi. well he was last seen

9:21 am
headlines the news continues here now to zero of the inside story and so much unless. the new york times says i'm out the was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish media have published pictures of what they say are the agents sent to kill him but the saudis insist he left the building so what happened to her so she this is inside story.
9:22 am
hello and welcome to the program i'm hooked up that happened on the afternoon of tuesday october second so my question is be walked into to saudi arabian consulate in istanbul his fiance who was waiting for him outside says he never came out now we know more about what may have happened we have a lot to discuss with our guests but first this report with the latest from stephanie decker in istanbul. turkish sources say these men arrived at istanbul airport with a mission to either abductor or kill. they flew into is stumbled on the same day the saudi journalist was due to return to the consulate to finalize some paperwork they're suspected to have been inside the consulate when hushing he entered the building around a quarter past one local time on the afternoon of the second of october a turkish newspaper has published the pictures and the names of the fifteen saudi nationals that the turks say were part of the so-called saudi hit squad the new
9:23 am
york times goes into further detail quoting an anonymous senior turkish official saying ankara believes he was killed inside the consulate at the orders of the highest level of the saudi royal court then gruesome detail the shots he was killed within two hours of this moment and that his body was dismembered by the saudi team with a bone saw in what seems to be a deluge of leaks the washington post then divulging that before his disappearance u.s. intelligence intercepted communications of saudi officials discussing possibly detaining him out. it is unclear whether he was ever warned i'm very surprised that one were would confirm this by letting the information know now the fact what has been intercepted is also notable because if true and there are now seem to be in creasing disparate bits of information that corroborates or substantiate the
9:24 am
other pieces of commission it would be a shocking act and teske lee glaring one there or we're told this operation would be really in cock up and soon or someone into your own consulate and then murdered the person and. while you know that your entrances and exits are all being videoed there's. astounding. just your information seems to be distributed by the turks or to france russia and saudi arabia real turkish speak on camera look at what it's been presented to back up those. stories with military need to go into. her surgeon his fiance is seen here waiting for her fiance outside the consulate and she's written in the washington post the us paper shows she contributed to pleading with the u.s. president to clarify what happened to her fiance and also in the saudis to release security camera footage she says she doesn't want to believe that he's been killed
9:25 am
stephany decker stumble. pulp fiction that's how a turkish official is describing this. well to discuss more we have our guests joining us from washington d.c. is ali ahmed the director of the gulf affairs institute and a former political prisoner in saudi arabia in london joining us on skype chris phillips the former head of the national counterterrorism security office in the u.k. and somebody who has there he is a lecturer at the city of bristol college in the u.k. welcome to all of you let me start with you the new york times claims that actually high shows was killed inside the consulate and that those orders came from the highest levels of the royal court how credible is that for you. i'm not sure yet about if he was killed or kidnapped. but it's true it's
9:26 am
very clear to us after the release of the fifteen member the names of these. of this team that two of them at least. personal bodyguards over mohamed bizzle among the crown prince so this is looks to me from looking at the names that this was not even an intelligence operation because this is a hodgepodge of sabbahi guards here and some doctor from the ministry of the interior and some other people who even one of them works in the in the in the in the special forces in the army so this was not an intelligence professional operation and i think that's why they have a lot of a lot of evidence and they didn't do a good job but we don't know if this was a murder i would assume this was more of a kidnap. attempt that winter and if it did occur it did if it did go wrong but if
9:27 am
it was a murder then again this is this this is like what the turkish government said came from ahmed is absolutely there is no doubt about that well it has to be underlined as you said that most of the information we have so far which is day eight since when. he went into the consulate is coming to us through the media we haven't heard any official version yet but it's about how. one fact is that there is a fifteen member team dead arrived from saudi arabia to stumble early in the early hours of the morning of that the october second as second fact another also route that came out today is that the washington post is saying that it is citing u.s. intelligence services as saying that they had actually they had
9:28 am
intercepted communications between saudis because discussing the capture of jamal. why is jamal has surely was such a concern for does sound you oil family. first of all there is no fact at all. from this all poor fabricated stories intelligence you know. informations the only fact is she disappeared where is he god knows i hope on they pray to god that he is still a life well it's only plastering games what is on average it's shouldn't so far days no official version but why do you say that fabricated story well if you if you listen to me if you if you can't if you let me in a continual you will see what i'm going to say i don't trust the washington post i don't trust the eunuch times the same the same way newspapers back in nineteen ninety one before the invasion of iraq they have sex it up as you rated
9:29 am
prefabricated all of the stories against iraq and even the colin powell theoretically theoretical theatrical play and the united nations let you know about this case just imagine oh ok let me finish please i'm back in twelve for for guess two thousand and four this is what happen the washington post apologizes for under the playing what you and the skepticism they say that we were more concerned getting stories first than getting stories right at their motives at the time we are going to war why we. even have contrary stuff and exactly the same thing is happening no. thing is happening now i can't even sure of that it is our public ate it because this is history. ok we're not talking about others and we're
9:30 am
talking about saudi arabia there is no sir there is no history in saudi arabia kills or assassinate you know opponent or dissidents except two famous countries israel iran saudi arabia know how stupid is to kill a dissident opponent inside the embassy and the funny things there are twenty to thirty people involved. certainly over the past year over the past few years there has been many stories of people being detained and people being charged without any proof in saudi arabia it is old you know to have been many stories lately didn't go as far as killing but if i remember well there was no this. i don't know the don't don't get not mix the issues of police ok twin and turn on the external first and then all of this is another completely different much or when
9:31 am
you get to the blogs or she is a saudi citizen if you go to. yeah that's good if you go to google machine in a searching machine and put you know any assassination out of the action and then embassy you never see there is nothing whatsoever this is the first time i know from where from saudi arabia this is forced on twenty to thirty people involved and so his body and soul is very imposing and you know screwball it's only top russian involved earnings to put on how old is that so does intelligence twenty to thirty people no way well i don't believe in that i don't take it at all ok let's go now on the expertise of chris here i mean. now does turkish authorities are saying that they're going to get access to the consulate in istanbul but it's there eight days later maybe nine they still haven't gone in and they also asked for access to the residence of the general counsel at this stage will they be able to find
9:32 am
anything well of course any investigation at this time is crucial only that you get access to a crime scene whatever that crime is whether or not it's an abduction or whether it's an assassination we don't know yet to be quite fair but of course the police need to get access to that but it's forensics or other bones that investigates only access now eight nine days later some could have been cleaned the area could have been cleaned up and it would be more difficult for them to get evidence i think there's so much to this case so. i don't think it could be more difficult for the for the turkish authorities to conduct an investigation it's in a location which is effectively another country and what access they get there allowed to get take into that building will be will time will tell but without the full forensic investigation then we won't know and as you say time really matters
9:33 am
and an evidence is lost over time well chris when you read about all. or what's being reported these days. is there anything really strike you or any detail strike you to most in all of this did anything point maybe made your mind in one direction or the other. now the whole point of an investigation is that you keep your mind open and it could of course be lots of they could be lots of different stories around this. i imagine there's a lot that's known under the surface through intelligence agencies that's not been given to the media at the moment and that will probably stay at the all sorts in one direction or another i mean none of us know without some evidence none of us known all that we've got the moment is a man has disappeared and he's disappeared from inside an embassy which is a precedent it and you just wouldn't like to think that any country in the world would do something but of course you've got to keep your mind open and you know people die all the time and so it's if the investigation is allowed to go its
9:34 am
course then we will have a better chance of knowing what's up ok and. i was i was watching you know had in this agreement earlier whoa what do you want to say i want to say that you know the pictures of the fifteen saudis coming into. stumble and that day is a fact we have their pictures when they get into the turkey when they get their visa and we have their names of their passport so we have those pictures and we have their names on saudi t.v. or in saudi media the same people the same faces one or two of them are members of this be as is person royal guards his one of them as ronnie is is is his bodyguard select so that's why it's. so how how can you have the bodyguard of a b.
9:35 am
as in a some bullet that day going into the embassy and leaving and these private jets that went with three other via egypt and the u.a.e. these are facts he said not fabrications so that what is why these people are there ok let's fact that there are pictures out of there that i have looked at the at the at the pictures. i have looked at the airline these two jets i have records companies will fly who monitor the flight path of these two new airplanes that charted by the saudi minister of defense that z k s one an edge is the k s two the plane and then we have videos of these planes so it's it is this is a it's not. pictures and names this is fact and that man disappeared this is a fact so even how can you explain the presence of fifteen saudis in the consulate that day what is what is what is the answer to that ok the saudis have got.
9:36 am
people before and they have killed people inside the country so let me finish i didn't cut you off so this saudis did kidnap not sort of site famously from beirut and his his faith has never been known he's probably killed and they have assassinated you that saudi arabia has a death squad that they have killed protesters even young ones so this is nothing new yes other because other countries like iran and and syria does it it's not. going to do it because it's a crazy idea people do that the thing is the person who detains an elected head of a government said laddie i don't think this is beyond him to kill a dissident in se because the sometimes power makes you do crazy things and this is exactly what we are seeing we have the mad king of saudi arabia making these
9:37 am
decisions because he thinks he can do it without any of the percussions just like in the case of of. me and make the case of killing thousands of yemenis and starving the entire population with no to action from the international community that i was there i know you disagree what which what is being said but there are certain facts here. defers fact is that they're my little treasures he left saudi arabia a year ago because he feared for his own safety and he said it wasn't a place where you could speak your mind anymore another fact is that he entered that consulate shortly after one pm on october second and he never came out or was never seen after that the saudis are saying he came out from a back door but why would he if his fiance was waiting from the front and people any visitor comes in from that comes in and out from the front door this is naive and this is this is you know primitive. thing can. you can't say that everything is
9:38 am
fact you've seen the pictures so it could be fabricated i mean let me remind you i remind you know my colleagues in london you remember the blood goes back before the iraq invasion the forty five minutes attack saddam hussein will attack britain and fight in forty five minutes saddam hussein has you know what kinds of muscle structure saddam hussein has links with al qaida and nothing that so it's easy it's easy to fabricate things is intelligence this is one the other think if you want to ask me if you want to tell me that you know there are some saudi arabia have done this before know this is not true please see the truth ok the true is that. is not churchy the book is not that the truth. is not that he's being kidnapped from outside not because he is this intent or he's against his government no the most important reason the many reasons he is he is against you know the militias of
9:39 am
iran in syria he is supporting the. saudi wall against. the outlawed houthi and yemen. and so he's always with his government but the self-imposed self-imposed. exile and usa that's bad enough is good but he got very good friendship with his excellency i mean khalid the ambassador a few of us say he has got so many contacts with all of it with everybody in saudi arabia still still know so there is no there is no reason whatsoever to assassinate him or to terminate him out of that thing whatsoever there is a conspiracy he's been kidnapped from outside the embassy he's been kidnapped and you know you've already been given some outside the embassy by whom by the third party done ses third party the deep states the deep state he said
9:40 am
it very clearly why don't take this as a fact. he said that the deep state ok and the other k. let me just bring in most information yet one thing i'm just going to want to bring in the most information came from his from from his fiance on fields who has gotten a bit suspicious contacts and links with with with top governments in qatar top government and hamas top governments and amman top governments and turkey and she's got you know so many relations suspicious relations with the brotherhood. in london let me bring in chris i know it's all we're we are speculating here but it is a fascinating story if not grim somehow government so. you have this man who goes to the consulate to do it to get a divorce certificate now if we listen to what was leaked into turkish media also
9:41 am
in some of the u.s. media these fifteen hits hit squad men. part some of them are special forces intelligence officers national guards and a forensic expert they come and with a vat with vans no luggage apparently and they leave with luggage and some of them head to the residence of the general counsel now a new view if you were investigating this while what would be credible or not credible for you and also just a little detail saudi the consulate says that the c.c.t.v. cameras on that day didn't record anything is that rosabel or not. well i mean all these sayings go towards circumstantial evidence that says something very unusual happened of course it doesn't mean to say he's been murdered and chopped up as i
9:42 am
think has been mentioned and taken back to saudi arabia doesn't mean that but it goes to what it points in a direction particularly as this has been announced and i don't think you would announce something like this in the turkish government and then that something like this if they didn't have some other information which is leading them in that direction so i think in the fullness of time we'll find out exactly what's happened as i said it's very difficult to conduct an investigation in the embassy because it's it is part saudi arabia so they don't have to supply. access to any any investigation team but i think i think they'll be a lot more known about this and i think that's what will come out bit by bit as we've seen with the russians cripple. attempted murders then information intelligence gets leaked out over the next few months and years and we will eventually find this out and i think the chances of anything ever come into a court case is is pretty much zero eight it's happened in embassy anyway so be
9:43 am
unprecedented for that to end up in a court case but of course it's really important it's important point for the country for the people that we can't allow this sort of stuff to go on if if what we're saying is happened then that just it's not acceptable and it needs to be stopped and we seem to be moving in soon or an area where countries are doing things really outrageous actions that we we haven't seen for many many years so so you know that there are other possibilities that could have happened and the istanbul the turkish police will want to investigate those but getting access to the embassy is going to be impossible but i would say there's other bits that might be useful as well so any c.c.t.v. cameras of the area not just attached to the embassy they'll be other cameras about . see. t.v. cameras in the airports where they've been traveling through and of course on the route as well so so there's lots of other evidence that can be collected but the
9:44 am
difficulties for the investigators are enormous well some c.t. is some society before this has already been released and it has to be said that the saudis have agreed for turkish investigation team to go into the consulate building now element of this just briefly were because we're going to reach the end of the program very soon. it's very difficult to reach any conclusions but i think the bigger picture in all of this is that you have a saudi regime at the moment who is not accepting any kind of critique even though jamal history has always said that he was neither. he was not in the opposition and he was not in the dissent camp. so but it's a bit scary if that if any of this comes to be chewed and they could be so far reaching. i think. it was a loyalist he says that he has loyalty and you know. legions to the king he was
9:45 am
critical of b.s. . but this makes it even more dangerous for him because the m.b.a.'s and the saudi monarch in general does not want to have to give ideas to its followers that they can defect or criticize because if they don't send a strong message that you cannot do that and you have a heavy price if you do then the you will have a wave of defections so that's makes it more dangerous than being just a dissident like myself and i was a target myself for abduction and other activities hacking spying going to mit and the reality is that what i wanted to add is that i think the police the police police police i don't behave please. what what. i think we should look at i know they cannot go inside to behave please so is that they could they could look at the refuse the garbage if you kill somebody you need to
9:46 am
put a huge piece of plastic and that's very hard to get out of plastic so the plastic might have gone with the trash with the garbage you know they can get in the case of russia here when they had to evacuate the consulate in san francisco they burn stuff so if there is a fire in the in the fire place that will people in this time of the people will notice that there is a fire they're burning plastic or wood or something else so those things have to they have to look at that because they can find evidence i think i think now all eyes are and investigation and they stumbled but also everybody from the white house are to you and around the world want to get more clarification from the saudi government that will probably take a few days if not a few weeks to come but we have reached the end of this show thanks to all our guests i met chris philip and somehow jose and thank you too for watching you can. see the program again any time by visiting our website al jazeera dot com and for

a week ago entering his country's consulate in istanbul uncertainty still surrounds the investigation into his alleged murder which u.s. media says was ordered by the highest levels of the saudi royal court but cicle heinous more from washington d.c. 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 jamal has more on the investigation from istanbul. with every day that goes by more and more information is coming out with regards to what's happened to. the. side 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
9:50 am
titles in fact this is their identities amongst them is the head of the forensic unit in the saudi defense forces an 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
9:51 am
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 it's orchestra authorities 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 to germany which event about 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 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 on 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 see some sort of way out of this that would maybe make it a bit easier and not make out the fallout so hard but so now that's consensus hasn't been reached oregon michel's moving on to the u.s. state of georgia after causing extensive damage in florida the category four storm is a third most powerful to hit the united states since records began hundreds of thousands of homes are now without power at least ten people have died in flash floods on the spanish on and new york floodwaters up rooted trees and buried cars and mud the military has been deployed to help with the clean up operation china's western gen john province has revised the law to legalize so-called reeducation camps for we get muslims rights groups have raised concerns about the up to a million weekends who are reported to be into tension for those are
