some senators both republican and democrat has changed and the reason for that could be well when al jazeera is reporting that the turkish officials say they have shared their intelligence with people in the united states government that information could well have been passed to senators who know have a lot more information and want to base what they're seeing i think if you take lindsey graham just as one example who is perhaps don't trust the closest ally in the senate at the moment he said if it is true and the saudis killed someone in their consulate in istanbul that not only would that be against all international norms there would and i quote here be hell to pay so when you're infuriating and firing up senators like lindsey graham that donald trump really has to read the way the wind is blowing here there are many people on board sides in the senate who are determined that if it turns out that jamal khashoggi was murdered in the consulate

then the whole relationship between the united states and saudi arabia has to change even though donald trump believes that a very close ally that important to what he wants to do in the middle east both in iran and with the the question over what happens with the palestinian israeli peace talks. but they are saying this changes everything if what we're hearing is true alan fischer with that analysis from washington d.c. allan thank you and there senior political analyst marwan bashara joins us live now in the studio our men we heard there mean obviously the relationship with saudi arabia is almost to find the american position on the middle east and start the truck came into the office of the last thing and i guess you would want to do is to change that relationship but he really really does seem to be up against the war now because of the media pressure in the u.s. we're hearing from alan senators now speaking against that but realistically what do you think the u.s. is going to do now. i think you're right i think since two thousand and fifteen when the new regime and the new king the new crown prince took over. despite three

important. crises or blunders if you will in the relationship one was the launching of the war against yemen and getting stuck there were terrible terrible human rights violations and thousands of deaths and so on and so forth and then you had the manufacturing of a crisis with qatar basically making. a clown out of the american president lying to him and so on so forth about qatar and and yet the relation continued and then we had the third which is a terrible human rights record imprisoning scholars and journalists and so on so forth and yet the american soldiers relations endured and now we have this alleged murder of a saudi journalist in a saudi consulate i think the culmination of all the crisis sees and i think what i would call deposit still ety within the beltway within washington d.c.

within the american establishment the word saudi arabia because of nine eleven and saudi role in nine eleven i think. present crump's bets on the saudi leadership is back firing no this is it this is the force of a number of blunders by the saudis that i think now the white house cannot simply go on with business as usual and with congress to connection with the american media take an interest for a change i think the pressure is building up on the white house to do something about it and i guess also the pressure is building on saturday to react in whatever way we're hearing from stephanie decker that still turkish investigators that are actually being allowed to go into the consulate itself i mean what what what are the options open to saudi right now with this you know just judging from what president trump said the last few hours now i'm more convinced than ever before it was a lot of circumstantial evidence now i think that this is more or less

a clear scenario that the man the poor man went into the consulate never certainly never came up to life we know that we know the saudis are involved and we know that there was some kind of a squad some people call it a death squad to sort coming in and out flying through dubai through cairo to istanbul one day apparently doing the deed going back and so on so forth so clearly the saudis are involved in this clear this is a major blunder and clearly it's part of this long process sees of these doing something with total impunity now i think i think the community has just stopped and now someone has going to have to come clean in saudi arabia and someone is going to have to pay the price and that someone cannot be a rogue element in the consulate in istanbul that's going to be high up so high up that people now talk about openly about muhammad in selma and the young rash crown

prince would leave who would need to step down or step aside which seems unthinkable really where now it is thinkable ok. thank you. now the un committee for child rights called on saudi arabia to need at least stop its bombing campaign against civilian targets in yemen it also wants those responsible for unlawful airstrikes during the three year war to be prosecuted the other bit of danton is that nearly twenty percent of the deaths of civilians are children so that's one in five civilian killed is a child under eighteen that's a lot of children. so you know this is why we were concerned about the airstrikes but not only the israelites i think we also mentioned to them in the dialogue the aerial and naval blockade. list of course follows the saudi strike on a school bus in august which killed dozens of children the students who did survive

are now back at school taking part in morning drills and attending classes last month the saudi led coalition accepted responsibility for the airstrike the u.n. estimates that five hundred thousand children have dropped out of school since the civil war began in two thousand and fifty. all of those wounded continue to attend school without exception as long as it's ok for them to attend the come on crutches or wheelchairs what we've shown is that education for our children is paramount the attend in spite of their wombs and their fears. russia has opened a criminal investigation after a rocket bound for the international space station failed it shortly after takeoff . and there is a lift off of these to use in mass tin to the international space station the rockets two man crew an american astronaut and the russian cosmonaut survived after

making an emergency landing in kazakhstan it's the first launch accident for russia's manned space program in thirty five years russia's suspending all manned launches while it investigates the incident or a challenge has more now from moscow. in the wake of this catastrophic accident on board the soyuz rockets russia has launched two investigations we have a commission that is basic green set up to investigate what exactly happens on this launch and why it went wrong but then the russian any investigative committee has also launched a criminal investigation into the construction of the rocket which i think indicates how seriously russia is taking this at the moment and how much it wants to assure its partners in nasa that the soyuz is a safe and reliable vehicle for delivering people into space because at the moment

it is the only means by which people can get up to the international space station since nasa retired its space shuttle program several years ago this particular incident seems to taken place about one hundred nineteen seconds after the launch where it appears there was some sort of booster failure which meant that the capsule that the two men were in had to then make what's called a ballistic descent ability reentry they came back down on a parachute landing about six hundred kilometers away from the initial launch site they are both ok it seems and that is something to be thankful for because this is a space incident that could well have resulted in for talent seize on this particular incident it didn't. indonesian officials say it could take up to two years to rebuild the island of sula ways after it was devastated by an earthquake

angela merkel's bavarian allies are heading for their worst showing in state elections in over sixty years this fight a booming economy one issue has dominated the campaign and that is immigration on the mccain reports from bavaria. early autumnal day looks like a scene from a postcard in this placid place the thought of an intense election battle seems distant and yet these are the voters all parties must convince which subjects are most important to them it's not like it was two years ago or it's calmed down a lot when the big refugee wave happened it was a bit weird but now the topic as i see it is no longer currently being critical of closing borders i don't think it works i think the trolls yes but closing borders is nonsense i don't need to talk about europe and the borders and that's the issue which propelled the politics of this international into european prominence over

the course of this past year with the governing christian social union here threatening to topple the national coalition if it didn't get its way and yet right now in this campaign it finds itself on the defensive over this issue. in news conferences c.s.u. ministers admit the effect immigration has had you have noted here we have had many irritations in the past few years the higher number of refugees that came into our country the question of integration and the big controversy about that merlin but the most important factors we are concentrating on a strong campaign by and in recent months the c.s.u. has sought to move further to the right to prevent the populist anti immigrant a.f.d. from encroaching on to its grand but analysts say ministers in berlin have resisted c.s.u. plans for the sea as you could always promise and proposed but in fact they couldn't bring home anything they promised they over promised and unload illiterate this is

why conservatives now turn their back on them and flock to the afghans that which explains why that party is heading to sunday's election with confidence i think it's important for the country to get the fifty into the year in parliament. to make it very also one of the states that. support opposition against merkel. and yet in this deeply conservative state there are signs not everyone likes the right would trend in politics many here in key. they want their politicians to concentrate on schools health and mainstream issues the local green candidate says he thinks his party could spring a surprise in this election we'll know if he's right on sunday evening dominic cain al-jazeera in bavaria. divers in the greek islands have discovered
