6:24 pm
had my keep. top of the lives no remote village about five hours by car from uganda's capital kampala. six years ago her son michael was adopted by an american family he'd been ill and she couldn't afford his treatment so when some people came to her community saying they wanted to help needy children she thought her son was lucky to be chosen. minimally to work. and. so she said what happened to tab is incredibly complicated. with the help of an interpreter i tried to get the full story but even now six years later she seems confused about what she agreed to. i had
6:25 pm
a good journey. going at the end long at the. up out of the laurel. and he's. able to leave that to me looking at the and. so she said that they committed that in fact court records are top as they consented to the adoption of michael as their legally speaking she's no longer his mother. laura and philip hunger are adoptive parents to michael and henry now he lives in portland oregon with this family philip and nora hunger. this is a local news report filmed last year with michael and another boy their doctors from china. three years after they took michael to america tabitha gave birth to another boy solomon. it's pizza night at the hunger home but something is missing when they heard the top of that had not the baby and was again in need of help the hungry spend money for solomon's calf. they wanted to adopt him too and sent an
6:26 pm
agent to a top of a washing. yacht they added the meal which you. will see the. know anatomy and. eventually the hunger came to uganda and tabata says she was called to a meeting in camp parlor. she said she felt ill while she was there and had a dizzy spell it was then she says the woman at the meeting took solomon from her and gave him to laura hunka. we asked the hungus to confirm what happened at that meeting but they didn't respond to the question however they didn't see this the tab or the has repeatedly agreed to the adoption and that she signed documents to that effect. despite this tabitha told us that she had never wanted to give us on our way. and when you were doing at the dimia was. king.
6:27 pm
and she could see them was holidaying hatch and then she asked what about my chair how do i get my share then they said they taught at amazon would bring that shadow of a man and. that's the day he was taken from her. top of the so she was still breastfeeding when solomon was taken away from her. she told us she felt so distraught the next morning she wanted to take her own life. that was more than two years ago and the last time top of that had her son. to find out more i went to the family court in town pala. they keep the chaotic archive containing thousands of files one for every child
6:28 pm
adopted including solomon. in his i found information about tabitha and the hunt the family as well as their american adoption agency journeys at the heart. the court records show that before hearings before solomon's adoption was approved. at the first two the judge adjourned saying top of the didn't understand what adoption was or wanted for solomon. but at the third hearing the records they tab of the returned to court and agreed to the adoption. of the fourth hearing the judge granted the adoption application and solomon became the hungers legal child. was it over your intention to sign away harmon and guardianship of solomon to a different family.
6:29 pm
but an american family can take a ugandan child back home with them without a visa to the us and eighteen months later solomon still hadn't been approved the family on able to bring him home with them behind us became frustrated. this is video taken by the orphanage last november this is been excruciating on our family the hunger say the ugandan high court approved the adoption more than a year ago but when they went to the u.s. embassy to get solomons visa approved they were stonewalled they have not given us any reasons why that application has not been accepted. now do you think the hold up. had like to know the answer to that is well honestly. the us embassy refused to comment but again solomons court fall was used. when we talked to tabitha told me she'd been cool to a meeting at the american embassy in kampala the embassy staff it aust her she'd wanted solomon to be adopted. her claim that she told the official she was
6:30 pm
against the adoption is given some credence by documents in the file. if the letter written by the u.s. embassy to the ugandan court describing solomon's adoption as problematic. we need the help we need the united states government to approve his application despite top of his insistence that she didn't want her child to be adopted solomon wasn't returned to her she told us she hadn't even been allowed to see him where a song now suddenly. after a lot of searching i found a social worker who knew. sterile glands in charge of child welfare in uganda when she heard about top of the story
6:31 pm
she moved from the childminder being paid by the hungers to a government babies home there is one i took that action as it was she said responsible for children was because i received a complaint from them and she was insisting that she didn't want the child or when they say divest will be for me to move in and see where the child is placed how much more information do you need i mean it's been over a year the tab of lost custody of solomon is more than a year. how many times you all the passengers they know before you or the process in i cannot say how many times you know it counseling is a process. and this drug war. stella was also behind a change to ugandan law which means that foreign families wanting to adopt now have to foster a child in uganda for at least one year. that law took effect in two thousand and
6:32 pm
sixteen the year before solomon was adopted wanted to prevent just wish and we have people just playing today on. get. the children the next two weeks that's what we wanted to avoid do you think a family in america who illegally parents the store would have any idea of the turbulence here in uganda where. they're aware because from the day i go to sort of . the dutch for me the good to know that you've been sent to me a message to call me i told him i would i wouldn't discuss them to issue a form but i would exchange e-mails and they didn't do that. but they've been communicating through their lawyers. but how could the hungers and that the legal obligation to foster solomon when they hadn't spent the required year in uganda. the judge in the case moses maci decided that since the hunkies had been paying someone to look after solomon they had in effect constructively
6:33 pm
fostered him. i wanted to ask judgment chibi why he had come to this conclusion but he declined to be interviewed. i also want to do know more about the american agency behind solomon michael's adoptions. i tracked down a former agent of baz barbara and about a camera she told me she'd spent three years working for journeys at the heart she was arrested in two thousand and fourteen and soon after that parted ways we met at an undisclosed location. so what was the involvement of journeys of the heart they were to provide their financial support and then i would provide this obvious. it's obvious was to find children that can be adopted they wanted everything fast first because if if you get a child today spends in a home relate to months three months is adopted that means they're spending most of
6:34 pm
this change. but if a child comes days for a. it's much experience and they would say that to you they would say we need children that can be adopted first it doesn't sound like they were very concerned about the children no it sounds like they were concerned about the business. business you say you felt a lot of pressure did you worry that there would be consequences if you didn't find the children of course those certainly are closing. up close and if. if you're not bringing in more children we are closing so they would basically threaten to fire you. yes you didn't provide as many children as they wanted. there were allegations the barber had been trafficking children amongst other things eventually the police charged her with child neglect but she disappeared for
6:35 pm
a time and now police they have files missing she denies all of the charges. but barbour was just a local agent for journeys of the heart. to find out more i needed to talk to the agency's director in the u.s. david sklansky. after a lot of attempts to get hold of david sklansky by email and on the phone i finally come to poland to see if i can buy into an impasse and i think this might be his whom interests for this is a field i have to deal with. good morning david sklansky yes i want to talk to you about some families in uganda who say their children were adopted against their wishes i'd rather not. georgia tell me about this series solomon who is currently living in
6:36 pm
a government institution because his mother in uganda doesn't want him to be adopted her and she's given conflicting stories or three to two family wants to adopt i've been trying to for some reason they don't seem to want to speak to me and my understanding is that on many occasions she has consented how it was as a mother need to object to an adoption before and they said ostracised us well it wasn't for me to start the process the family wanted to continue so you were just that to facilitate the american family. pretty much the family needed agents who need us to. to try. to be there for them whether they were correct. we will help them before we believe that the child has made it medically very medically. we heard that mother was very desperate we believe her or her story is this we're just trying to get solace with initiated alter that changed to the north some judges were saying that they were exceptions for medical medically exigent exceptions such as salt and to be clear you don't
6:37 pm
have any regard for the change to the law that's not of concern to you that it's irrelevant what we have not. encouraged families or listen to their interest to adopt from uganda since. apart from the holocaust yeah we can't really talk to us so after being contacted by the person did you inform them about a change to the north a very. international adoption can be complicated but this family says it has been like a living nightmare every day there without their son the hungers contacted senators ron wyden and jeff merkley they've told us that they're on our side they think that our story is viable philippa nor hunka been very public in that that's to get into the u.s. so i was surprised when they told me by e-mail they didn't want to be interviewed by fault lines. according to the records philip was in court when the judge ruled
6:38 pm
the tablet the didn't understand the implication of an adoption. so i wanted to know why the family was still pursuing it. we tried to talk to phillip punkers he was getting into his car i want to talk to you about thomas and pass on solomon for you are you send us an e-mail as if you were maxing or not ok amor tabitha says she doesn't want this adoption to happen. and the court records reflect that it depends on when you talk to him and it depends on which court records. ok i mean i've seen four sat score records from four hearings yeah what's your understanding of what her wishes are. i can't talk about this my attorney read we for you know you're finishing attorney she told us not to speak with you not to speak with you more. and then just before this film went to add we did hear from the hunters in an email they
6:39 pm
insisted again the top of the has repeatedly agreed to this adoption. they sent us photos of tabitha signing documents to that effect. we don't know if the hungers will succeed in bringing solomon to america but we do know his case isn't isolated. more than one thousand six hundred ugandan children have been adopted to america since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine but it's hard to know how many of them were actually often and how many may have had parents who still wanted them and. for the past twelve years the council on accreditation has been regulating american adoption agencies. i wanted to know if journeys of the heart had been investigated over any of the issues raised in this film. so i talked to the c.e.o. richard kloberg. question the answer is i don't know is that not the type of thing that ought to have come up when it came to rear crediting journeys of the hawt. it
6:40 pm
would have if we had had access to that information yes and how would you get access and they would have had access most likely from the united states government. the post in gone the whether it's a state department or homeland security their immigration and in the case of journeys of the harder you didn't get that information i just don't want to comment about any specific agency i asked him why his organization doesn't put more emphasis on investigating wrongdoing a.b.c.'s going about identifying whether that has happened is is not something that we are trained to do that we have the resources to do or or actually that we have in any way the capacity to do why if it's difficult to trust some of the institutions in countries like uganda which i think is
6:41 pm
a fairly well accepted fact why then with the department of state continue to allow into country adoption i think you'd have to ask the united states department of state i have asked myself that question again and again. and it is. it's a puzzle to me it depends the state department refused to be interviewed for this story but in email they said they rely on their creditors to monitor and the adoption agencies. it's been five years since florence and jennifer's children were taken to america. at best the adoption was deeply flawed and the process may have been fraudulent. the mother say they didn't even know it was happening. i'm going to write it out to have another level of autonomy that could be. about but about two weeks long i want
6:42 pm
to i don't know which. is so hard. i'm going. to knock on your phone on the phone. they've reported it as a crime to the police but now that the children are in america there's nothing anyone can do. the children belong to a different family now. i trace that family to their hometown. and the father agreed to be interviewed anonymously because he said he hasn't told us children their biological families looking for them very first thing we do is called dark or americans attorney who finalize the adoption in the states with us if them for. if it's legally finalized what we need to do to confirm that things are going to change for the children and old us dawn and finalized what does it feel like to know that this kind of dispute
6:43 pm
over your children so. devastating we have children to go to bed every night in our home whose parents in uganda wishing they were going to bed in their hood your parents and you go on those who only see your children their children or their work electronically. she did use well intended concepts and turn them into a child trafficking case like yourself who will try and end up being trolled perfectly into the family you know. what would you say another family from america told you they were considering adopting from uganda i would signal that's the short answer told because you're saying no for a lot more. do you think you were when you for your agency application. legally in america there's nothing anyone can do to get them back unless the
6:44 pm
adoptive family wants to return. so it's possible the florence and jennifer will never see the children again. there might still be hope for top of them solomon. we are also the social worker amassing campagna if we could at least bring her to see her son he's now almost three and he's been separated from his mother for the majority of his life. i'm going to look at it that way. less than that but i'm. actually. now been a student. to lead me to think i need a fucking way a good man and to get back in. a king way i'm a going to have me down and.
6:45 pm
let. solomon didn't recognise his mother he seems to get when she approached show. she left him alone for a while to calm down. but it wasn't easy at the second time. her her. own much too pretty.
6:46 pm
and i won't go as she can't be married them to and on him a. woman is. i'm lucky though what i. am doing and on. about bye. bye bye. she has to leave him behind he isn't her child anymore. this legal tug of war has meant the solomon has lived in an institution for much of his life. indeed added i mean if you need to believe. any pia when you don't make you in years was glad you did you know give me the.
6:47 pm

president donald trump went from no one knows what happened to jamal khashoggi to we need to find out we demanding everything we want to see what's going on here it's a bad situation it's a very serious situation for us for this way we do see. what is going on now will be the subject of an official investigation after twenty two senators sent this letter to the white house invoking the magnitsky act it gives the administration four months to determine if the show g.'s human rights were violated and if so by law they will have to place sanctions potentially on people high up in the saudi government the outcry is bipartisan and growing and that this man was murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul they have across every line in the malady and in the international community. if that did happen it would be hell to pay if saudi arabia took a us resident emerging into a consulate and killed him it's time for the united states to. rethink our military

political and economic relationship with saudi arabia the president has been eager to forge a relationship with the leadership of saudi arabia heralded tens of billions of dollars in defense deals but with reports that many of those have not come through the president will be under increasing pressure to target saudi arabia he's not alone just about six months ago the crown prince mohammed bin solomon toured america meeting the most powerful people in the country all now being urged on social media to condemn him and for the president it is about to get personal after fiance wrote this opinion piece in the washington post urging action the president said he'll meet her at the white house soon this was a day that saw the president speak out small public protests in washington d.c. in new york that drew a lot of media attention and angry senators demanding action all signs that for saudi arabia this is not going to go away any time soon this petty calling

al-jazeera washington. now in a moment we'll take you live to encourage for more on the reaction from the texas government shall stratford will bring us the latest from there but first here on the news. on the investigation he's there outside the saudi consulate in istanbul why is it jamal do we think that the turkish criminal investigation will not go public why they're not holding a news conference and telling us what they know. well peter it seems that the reluctance from the turkish side is because they're still trying to figure out or at least maybe get to some sort of consensus amongst international players and allies including the united states as to what's kind of reaction they should take towards the saudis politically diplomatically bear in mind turkey obviously is the second largest member of nato but it also is a key strategic player geopolitically in the middle east and any repercussions
6:54 pm
as a result of this operation against america should she be it's the assassination of him or anything even less than that. is going to have an impact on many different scales not just in terms of the security cooperation between the two countries but also economically and so forth and while as the turkish authorities have been leaking things to us in terms of the information they've had they have stayed or shied away from making this official so on the one hand they want to prove that yes what they've been saying in terms of the conclusion that jamal officials who was killed isn't just baseless that there is information so they have shown us the pictures and identities of fifteen of those hits saudi nationals who form this hit squad they've shown c.c.t.v. cameras of cars moving in and out of the consulates in other places but they've held back as you say of having this announced officially at a news conference right predominantly because they're still trying to get their
6:55 pm
ducks in a row so to speak before they take any action diplomatically there is the consulate behind you there jamal also there are other diplomatic buildings on the other side of the crescent around behind you as well maybe just a couple of hundred meters away as soon as the turkish authorities go public with a news conference are they then into another level of this this deteriorating relationship where they have to start thinking about getting rid of consulate staff saudi consulate staff and literally giving them their marching orders. yes i mean there's no doubt look something on this scale. we heard from u.s. officials but others when you're talking about ruining somebody into what is meant to be a safe place a consulate or an embassy somebody who was not wanted wasn't even wanted by the saudis officially a journalist a well respected person a civilian and so forth luring him in and killing him or even let's imagine on hope
6:56 pm
that all these reports are false and he's kidnapped that is something that can go without consequence so it's almost certain that there will be an expulsion of some sort of level of saudi diplomats but till now peter one of the interesting things is what's frustrating the investigation is that the saudis have refused to allow for turkish authorities to enter the building behind me in the way that they would like so initially that claim they were going to let the turkish police in but once the turkish authorities told them what kind of forensic expert experts they would like to go in and what kind of equipment that a legit approval was rescinded on top of that they have refused point blank to allow for that extra three g.'s to search the house the home of the consul general as well as specific vehicles that are registered to the consulate these are all points of interest for the investigation the police had already released as i mentioned traffic camera video showing specifically a black doubts vand leave the building behind me a couple of hours after she had entered and drive through the consul general is

home which is just a couple hundred meters away from here reverse right up to the door there was some movement around it and that's what they would like to see what exactly that movement was for but they have been denied that it's something that's frustrating the turkish authorities is that and as you'll hear from my colleague charles shortly it's also led the president to speak out against this once again thanks very much turkish politicians have reacted angrily to the revelations of his alleged murder in the saudi consulate in istanbul opposition m.p.'s are warning of severe consequences as jamal was talking about this and consumer reports now from the turkish capital ankara. it's been more than a week and despite an ongoing investigation there is still no sign of jamal. sounds like a hall about thriller and down certain it is surrounding his is a growing concern to turkey is political figures. in

turkey is another story it will root for mafia method to bloody revenge if there was a crime and if the criminals are identified what is necessary should be done to punish the perpetrators members of the ruling uk part to say is if the rumors office killings are true it's the responsibility of every country to respond to such a human rights violation. so if he was to write a very critical column against saudi arabia it wouldn't have hurt the saudi image as much as this incident so it shows the importance of a country to silence a journalist and. opposition lawmakers are in agreement that if the allegations are true there must be consequences for saudi arabia if there is a murder and saudis are directly involved all saudi officials with diplomatic community here leave turkey and international institutions including the un should do the same it is not compatible with diplomacy or law or friendship it will put

a strong if saudis carried out such an assassination this should be seen as defiance against turkey and disregard of law plus it is a threat to all journalists because shoji safety and well being is the most important thing but turkey has to reconsider its relations in the middle east with such countries until now turkey is present dredge up so far gone has handled this case discreet the but as the concerns grow over the life of the salvage journalist some here fear that it could lead to a diplomatic break up and if this happens trickle its support for western and arab countries to be able to put pressure on saudi arabia so now because all of al-jazeera and kyra. charles bronson joins us live from anchorage charles mr the one saying we can't stay silent for very much longer does that seem to imply they're getting ready to break their silence i think it's too early to say that this stage. the president or to one has been very cautious in coming forward and

making formal statements he made a statement last night on the way back from a trip to hungry to the newspaper haaretz saying that you know the investigation is ongoing and we will not stay silent regarding an occurrence like this he also said that he believed it was inconceivable the saudi claims that those cameras around the codes were not working on the day this incident seems to have happened as we heard in cinemas package there does seem to be mounting pressure all new the government to do more but as i say until these facts until this investigation goes forward and these facts authority established to everybody here is being very cagey . in coming off the fence if you like it's fair to say though that certainly we spoke to a couple of members of the opposition this morning and they say despite the deterioration in.
