1:03 pm
a few showers in the eastern parts of madagascar probably one or two in the west as well but further west for many looks fine and dry for many of us here harare i would around thirty one degrees so the south is more in the way of cloud that's been working its way eastwards away from cape town but pepping up as it does so force in durban then we'll see a real drop in the temperature maximum just to get around twenty one by friday. the women sponsored boycotts on us. what makes this. so you know. we haven't seen the president. believe he is. partly that is a formula for authoritarianism and here the lights are on and there's nowhere to hide let me ask you straight up is the true statesman should know upfront return on outages era.

way for people to get up to the international space station the russian and the american will shed jill to begin one hundred and eighty seven days in orbit lift up but first they have to get there the launch seemed to go well initially the rocket lifted off into the cloudless skies above baikonur kazakstan but one hundred nineteen seconds into the journey there was a catastrophic malfunction here the soyuz making its way into space inside the capsule video shows the two men being shaken about before the feed is cut to a computer graphic for ourselves we can live in the florida panhandle for five seven. the failure of the bush hearing there that there has been an issue with the booster and we're standing by for information the men and their capsule were now in a so-called ballistic re-entry parachuting back to worth they landed in the wide kazakstan step six hundred kilometers away from the launch site the rescue teams
1:09 pm
found them there helps them out of their confinement and into waiting helicopters but you're. hoping that this incident requires a more thorough investigation including visits to the manufacturing facilities the accident occurred on a rocket that had a lead in the incident for history this is very bad news on the other hand the emergency rescue system book excellently and this is good news. in fact two investigations are now underway one looking into what happened and another criminal one to assess whether there was any foul play or negligence involved in the rockets construction rush or is also grounding manned soyuz flights the work course of international space missions until more is known about this catastrophe. we'll have knock on impacts of course the crew currently orbiting on board the international space station will have to stay there a while longer and officials will be looking at whether resupply rocket flights can actually take place but thankfully there was no loss of life in

journalist peter beinart who's advocated boycotting products from illegal west bank settlements was detained and questioned on his way into the country it's concern. and even diehard supporters of israel in the u.s. two leading such voices arguing in the new york times this week that israel should welcome b.d.s. activists without restriction israeli government however. only be allowed into the country if she publicly repudiates the movement with cooking it up she's live picture you believed in this account to meet the criteria based on her fact in the ashes about your decision of which she was a senior over several years our custom says she would publicly condemn the b.d.s. movement but neither will she advocate for it if allowed to study in israel of course stance on sunday ari force it out of syria occupied east jerusalem. hussein has had his detention in egypt extended for a seventeenth time he's been in prison in egypt for six hundred sixty one days
1:13 pm
despite not being charged is accused of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds in the fame egypt's state institutions and al-jazeera strongly deny the allegations and the network continues to demand his release. the number of mexicans in the u.s. is slowly shrinking with more people headed home rather than crossing the border into the u.s. one reason is present donald trump's tough immigration policies but some economists believe mexico's improving economy is also meaning more opportunities back home john heilemann has more from what haka. just a few years ago public would have had little choice but to migrate from a small village in the state to one haka to miscues north or like many to the united states now there's another option because first cucumber plant. it's good to live in mexico this is where we're from we go to the us and they don't want us there with. himself for attorney migrant set it up with his brother mario sixteen
1:14 pm
years ago at one green house some full employees now they have seventy five not only. when we started it was a battle to get people there are very few because they all immigrated but now they come to work in. the plant is yet an outlier in a poor state where many of pools to head to the u.s. to look for work or their families depend on the remittances that provides but nationally the panorama is changing little by little we no longer in the years of the mexican migration boom in fact the population of mexicans in the united states is very slowly shrinking as more return home than head there. it's not easy for attorneys twenty of the local workforce authorities are giving them some help with their pool welcome smits can documents and in some cases funds to start businesses . some firms like the cucumber plant along with others especially cool centers
1:15 pm
groups are profiting from the efficient of the bilingual labor. but to many returning workers the sticking point is the low pay or sylia is earning less than one hundred dollars a week in the cucumber business would head back to the states and the better salaries in a heartbeat every crossing the border got easier will say for. the families that we work in the fields and the money isn't enough things are expensive and the children need it to keep up with their studies i really suffered to pay for my son's university it's the hope is that in the future miss consoler reason opportunities continue to rise keeping more of the young like pablo hope john home and how does it. other area is one of germany's richest states and also one of its most socially conservative voters were like new parliament on sunday with immigration a major issue john mccain reports from barbaria where the subject has polarized opinions on an early autumnal day looks like a scene from
1:16 pm
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 current seems 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 then close borders and that's the issue which propelled the politics of this state into national 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
1:17 pm
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 berlin but the most important factor is we are concentrating on a strong campaign. 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 under the liver this is why conservatives now turn their back on them and flock to the after is 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 a fifty in to the year in parliament. to make various also one of the states
1:18 pm
that. support opposition against merkel. and yet in this deeply conservative state there are signs not everyone likes the right wood trend in politics many here. they want their politicians to concentrate on schools health a mainstream issue 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 dominick. in bavaria. without zero these are our top stories american media is reporting that turkey has informed the u.s. it has video and audio recordings that prove the saudi journalist was killed inside his country's consulate in istanbul jamal khashoggi was last seen entering that
1:19 pm
building ten days ago the united nations human rights body has called on saudi arabia to end as strikes in yemen and prosecute those responsible for attacks on children the u.n. committee for child rights also says the investigative mechanism set up by saudi arabia and the coalition is not credible at least six people have died in one of the strongest hurricanes to ever hit the united states many coastal towns in florida are still cut off and more than one hundred thousand homes are without power a day after hurricane michael made landfall as a category four storm. indonesia's says it could take up to two years to rebuild the island of soloway z. after it was devastated by an earthquake and tsunami two weeks ago firefighters and soldiers are conducting a final search for survivors and city of palu the rescue effort was extended until friday at the request of residents more than two thousand people have been confirmed dead officials believe up to five thousand people are still missing
1:20 pm
russia is suspending man's launches to the international space station until the cause of a rocket failure is investigated. and there is. two the international space station. an american astronaut and russian cosmonaut were forced to make what's called a ballistic entry by parachute the world health organization is warning the a break in the democratic republic of congo could last several months and spread to uganda and rwanda there are now one hundred ninety four cases and one hundred twenty two deaths from the outbreak two thirds of cases have been in and around the city of beni and those in key province. there a journalist has been imprisoned in egypt for six hundred sixty one days he hasn't been charged but his detention has been extended for a seventeenth time he's accused of broadcasting false news and receiving foreign funds to defame egypt's state institutions. deny the allegations as i had
1:21 pm
lines with back with more news after the street. designation. tell us what that designation means is that. the sudanese foreign minister. talks to. me ok i'm a welfare organizations and activists so in london this week for the illegal wildlife trade conference hoping to develop new strategies to combat a lucrative industry we speak with a few to hear how they're working to stop what they call a war on wildlife. and here in the stream send us your comments on twitter or in our youtube live chat but first let's take
1:22 pm
a look at this video from the world wants life on to get an idea of how widespread this issue is around the globe.
1:23 pm
it's good to have on the string today some of the at this working to end wildlife crime in london. the phillips is a former al jazeera correspondent who is now the communications director for the elephant protection initiative in chicago illinois angela grimes is the interim c.e.o. of born free usa that's a nonprofit organization working to protect wildlife in the natural habitats and in the studio we have yo hamburg an ass in siena director of public policy for vulcan in which focuses on issues related to the environment and global security hello everybody it's really good to have you're going to start with a plan of a the idea of conserving and conservation of elephants this is been going on for decades and decades and decades. obviously there's still an issue the way that the elephant protection issues it is looking at this issue is slightly different tell us why. or i think what's important about the health and protection initiative is
1:24 pm
that it is an african led solution it's a coalition of nineteen african countries and they're very very different kinds of countries to be honest it's hard to generalize about them there and your phone francophone looser phone some of them like botswana and kenya are very well established clubs of asian countries if you like large elephant populations some of them like angola liberia coming out of civil war some of them not somalia and south sudan still in devastating was in the case of somalia really with virtually no elephants or two so it's hard to generalize about them but what's interesting is that these nineteen governments who ultimately are my masters if you like are coming together in a saying you in what part of the world you need to listen to us these are african solutions to conserving elephants we do very much want to conserve our wildlife we want to protect our environment we do need financial help from
1:25 pm
elsewhere but you have to listen to our approaches and our priorities i think that's a great point barnaby. introduction noticed represent paul allen's technology organization vulcan and much of our work begins swayed listening to the end user walking with the rangers listening to the rangers what is their average day look like what are their concerns for their problems how do we make their lives easier and integrating technology in their everyday life over trying to create something that is out of context that might be working for a western audience but it's not going to be culturally or technologically appropriate for the folks on the ground. and when you come out of it from a point of looking at the you know the the interface between human and wildlife and looking at solutions that benefit well that's where you can have success when you're looking at the ground when you're looking at human wildlife and how the
1:26 pm
solutions come together to benefit all parties involved that's where we're going to see long term success. angela is right we shouldn't kid ourselves the dial limits are very acute i'll give you an example i was in chad in central africa just last week talking to a farmer in a very impoverished area whose crops had been completely destroyed by a herd of elephants now there's no prospect of tourism in that area there's no system of compensation set up for people whose livelihood has been destroyed by wildlife and who am i to go and lecture that far a farmer his name was use of about the morality of conserving these wonderful elephants so that our children and grandchildren can see them and then use of this dilemma i suppose i was really confronted not just with the practical problems of conserving elephants which i dearly want to do but also the morality of finding a solution that works for everybody on this increasingly crowded planet you know
1:27 pm
when you talk about merging that duality barnaby i want to bring up a conversation that i'm seeing online here so this first tweet is from candy she says there is a war on people living around conservation areas that war is led by and this is her term here con servatius who pretend to love animals more than the people on whose territory those conservation area said so all of our guests here today seem to be talking about that idea but then how do you merge it with the people who do want to promote conservation i want to share this tweet here to pick up on that this is from the world wildlife fund u.k. and they share this there is an elephant and london here is why you can see the picture of this elephant that is roaming around the streets of the streets of london and this is why we had to bring an elephant into the city to be reminded of their struggle in the wild thousands of miles away and of course the disclaimer is it's a hologram it's not actually an elephant but barnaby how do you merge those two conversations
1:28 pm
wanting to educate conservationists but also then having the input of people whose home communities include animals like this. it is challenging what we're seeing increasingly across africa and let's put this in context there are one point two billion people in africa that's an awful lot more than when i was a small boy and in twenty fifty there will be twice that amount the human demographic growth in africa is dramatic and it's difficult to get away from that finding a solution that works for a large dangerous animals like elephants like lions and increasing numbers of people is very very difficult it works in some countries to an extent countries like botswana or kenya fences work tourism works wildlife economies work but is that going to work in a remote part of chad or the democratic republic of congo or south sudan that both
1:29 pm
those over the difficult answers that we in the conservation world have to grapple with have to grapple with suggests what i wanted today in the same particular was on pack how the business side of poaching action and there's an al-jazeera show called tech now and they try to trace. all the way back to thailand to explore how animal trafficking routes actually operate have a look. this is bangkok thailand zero at the world's largest flea markets we can shoppers can find almost anything including cage after cage full of exotic pets for the right price you can buy rare and even endangered species a south american mcarthur a monitor lizard an african tortoises to just name a few. techno shot this video at the busy chat to check markets with the camera after a shop owner offered to sell us what looked like a protected. this is why the world wildlife fund now recognizes this
1:30 pm
market as a hotspot for the illegal animal trade. and you go home that video is a good transition to this tweet we got because of course we started this conversation talking about elephants but your show here says though it is not only about elephants and rhinos the illegal trade of birds is also a huge issue in every region of the world let's hash tag and wildlife crime so that goes into the idea that there are other animals targeted what other animals are you looking at and should really the world be focused on that no this is a widespread illegal market a little known animal the pangolin is the world's most illegally traded animal in the world than i'm sure that most of your audience had never heard about it the name of the good now and i'm going to show them a picture wonderful yes it's a mammal with scales that's right in many people in asia and elsewhere skin and want to pursue it but the name of the game whose money i've never met a person who has animosity towards an elephant or a rhino there is
1:31 pm
a money making industry here that people up and down the illicit supply chain have tapped into and it's the same people who are smuggling drugs arms and humans around the world and it's really up to the international community has more to be pointed out to working together the resources and tools to go after this so we don't leave one sector of the lists of market behind more highly recognized illegal behavior and yeah this is a crime scene and we're not using. sort sorry for me i mean often often you know of course elephants are important to be but often we use elephants or tigers or lions what we call charismatic megafauna. as vehicles to conserve whole ecosystems because if you you know you could see the elephant then you can serve the forest and all the other animals the penguins and the inserts and all the other little creatures and that creates
1:32 pm
a better we hope more sustainable environment for all of us so if you like that there the entry point to why do conservation. here's the here's the point i think we missed this a lot in responding to this crisis we need to start looking at these animals and their parts as commodities and then try to understand how they flow around the world and then pick the show points around the world in the supply chain to boost our resources and there are three areas essentially it's the supply chain the national parks and you can technology and park rangers and support from inside countries and outside the u.k. us military personnel soldiers to go into africa and help to train and equip there you have to supply chain poor it's shipping industry transshipment point we need to find the most important areas where these products transfers through and out of resources and then this is a demand side in china in southeast asia more broadly with these commodities have values that are are of
1:33 pm
a cultural in order nature raising awareness vulcan has released a film about this called the ivory game and that's one part of bringing stories killing some of these ancient traditions that people and john just looking at a list of really tell market prices for various exotic animals an african great power it can go at two thousand dollars a slow loris one hundred forty five that's reasonably cheap gorilla i think i have trouble thinking that somebody would alter my gorilla four hundred thousand dollars but you have seen this happen people do you buy a wildlife as pets is that this i lived for a little bit you know so you're going to go to you see this every day all the time and in fact with the rise of the internet in the last you know decade or more this is becoming even more of a problem it's much easier to purchase a wild animal regardless of the laws in your state or your country through the
1:34 pm
internet and how that animal shipped to you these animals are being torn from their mothers in the wall. while they're being packed into shipping crates they're being packed into toilet paper tube into drain pipes and smuggled across borders to be able to be sold as pets and yes people do buy chimpanzees gorillas snakes and other dangerous wild animals that not only pose a danger and a threat to the wild species but also to the families and the people in the neighborhoods where they live i just have to show this gentleman hayes who the you and he's got a famous instagram account once you get on a and you can start looking at him and his one of his pet pieces going for work well and what's what's terribly remarkable about this and sad is that there are more tigers living captive in the united states than there are in entirely in the wild we're talking more than five thousand just in the u.s.
1:35 pm
alone compared to a wild population of about three thousand. so when we talk about this issue community here wants us to remember that it is so many different animals that can be involved this is just and he says this is a major issue across the globe and many countries songbirds are taken to hang in cages outside homes the trade in exotic species reptiles and insects for pet trade is likely to outnumber trafficking of any other species for any other purpose he goes on though to say in the u.k. for example exotic pets are imported from dubious breeders claiming they're captive bred they're sold on social media sites used by groups of associates and i'd argue it's beyond the reach of developing country law enforcement agencies so then how if that's true do you tackle this pipeline. so today in london there were a couple of very important decisions made we have had a task force going out going after and working with the shipping industry to try to
1:36 pm
close down some of these networks today financial taskforce was created that is going to look suspicious transactions involving what involving why life of crime so what i feel that we have seen over the last five six years is actually a serious a security response that mirrors some of the other more. more highlighted crimes that we have seen over the last decade or so so looking at the financial flows being able to have banks alert authorities when they see suspicious behavior it's going to be critical and there's quite a bit of work being done also on the e-commerce social media sites. and so those type of partnerships often online it's going to be critical for taking on this issue. i want to say yes but to have on him or as i was going say we i mean we should also talk about legislation i mean and particularly i mean will perhaps specially from africa issue now is asia and chinese demand and we've seen some very
1:37 pm
encouraging and welcomed developments you know china china and ivory at the beginning of this year that's a fantastic achievement the legislators in on call have set in process a motion that will that will ban ivory over the next couple of years that's that's good news but at the same time a country like china such is its overall overall demographic weight that it only requires a proportion of people to be breaking the law and as devastating impacts on the wildlife in other parts of the world you know the secessions of our today begs the question that we've begun to address right now on what is the best way to then tackle illegal wildlife trading have a look at this video it's posted to twitter by the world wildlife fund it.
1:38 pm
and i'm just thinking about the work of born free where the idea of born free is that no wild animal should ever be anywhere other than in the wild how much progress to the you and other organizations i'm making right now in twenty eighteen today i think we're all making progress in the important thing to know is that we have to continue step by step no matter how incremental we have to keep working towards a world in which wildlife are left to live in the wild where they belong and barnaby and you're one of made excellent points is ours the need to to stop the trafficking to support legislation to reinforce the people on the ground the customs and border
1:39 pm
agents like born koreans doing in west africa where we are helping train wildlife and course many agents were working directly with west african governments to be able to help educate and give them the tools and resources so that when they are able to identify so that they are able to identify the species that are illegally traded and stop at their borders before they get to countries like the united states or china to feed the demand and you had you were talking about tools and technology to help people down on the ground what did you mean by that you know it's been a little bit more so hawkins point of view in the broader point of view i think is that the technology that is required to fix this problem already exists or is being developed everything from some drones to radars to sensors to software. and getting it into the field and. nick seeing it with the rangers with the commander is really where the rubber hits the road so we've spent a tremendous amount of time over the last four or five years to understanding the
1:40 pm
users and what they need and i'll give you a couple of examples. throughout twelve sites now in africa park parks that we are active in what we saw was this abundance of data there was floating around in excel spreadsheets in the minds of the rangers in tucked away cabinets we wanted to provide a tool that can bring the patrol route of a ranger where the elephants are with suspicious behavior so are integrating sensor may be drones feed into a software for an operational picture that's called earth ranger we're very proud to be in twelve parks and i think eight countries now you know help me going to continue ad because i think they even alice is a little like they just have music that is they can bump. or. they get a great deal of good. because we got this tweet from simon simon hedges he said strangers who risked their lives to protecting wildlife must be properly equipped trained and managed they must be given insurance and their families must be looked
1:41 pm
after if they are injured or killed and that's one thing that i think many people don't often think of but time goes on to say that public private partnerships should also be used to manage protected areas working with governments and local people like those successfully deployed by african parks one example they're required to be i'm wondering what your what your take is on this. yeah i i fully endorse the african part from views of if they don't know that they're essentially a nonprofit organization who if you like specialize in rescuing failing national tongues in africa often in quite difficult countries countries like china countries like the democratic republic of congo bed nina's place you know a little bit out of the way and they have a very good track record yes ranges the thin green line as we call them they are the heroes hundreds have been killed over the past decade across africa but like
1:42 pm
like guests have said any successful approach has to be holistic of course we need to outrages we gotta stop poaching on the ground we need better legislation better lorentz force meant new tools in asia and of course we need to change public opinion in consumer countries as well so it's it's a p.r. battle it's a military battle it's all of those things at the same time i had one thing that i would not discuss and one thing i would add to that that's another part of the solution is that law enforcement needs a place to call on or group to call on when they confiscate wild animals so these wild animals are not just accepting the country in parts and pieces who are portrayed but they are leaving as whole lives wild animals and when they're confiscated law enforcement needs a place to go for example born free sanctuary and fast because a outside abuse of about anything else we have the the cheetah babies that you just put up on the screen

a couple of minutes ago those animals were confiscated and rescued on the border of somalia and they're now living in our sanctuary oh they're all i got i mean i'm just i've got a century because i was so amazing let me just show you here monkeys diving into the water the born free usa prime century just a life that is of my meat sanctuary in south texas here in the united states and those animals have been. from the pet trade and other abusive and neglectful situations gonna be i was on your facebook page a little bit earlier on and getting away from the keep monkeys but you shared this picture on your facebook and it was an elephant and what is it like to be in the wild and then to see a wild elephant and be that. but it was an amazing experience so that was a pitcher we took in chad just just last week and it was very different say to being in a more conventional safari in a vehicle we were on foot those elephants are very very nervous stream really
1:44 pm
outdid in southern chad no elephants left with large tasks at all it's quite tragic to see the way in which you know the elephants are changing the gene pattern is changing across many elephant populations in africa at those elephants got sight of us and disappeared into the bush very very quickly but to be on foot and to hear the rumble of elephants stomachs and the crashing of branches ahead of you is a very extraordinary experience and experience which i pray dearly obviously that my children and grandchildren are are lucky to have and this will still be possible in fifty or eighty years time to a story to that yes you know it's going to be a twenty second so. much you can do i've had the fortune to sit out there right in a water hole in the southern part of kenya yes to see the rhinos approach to water hole they're very scared animals and always that you build that trust the know

every week brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the welds john in a sense these two voices journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative black listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter to them and see bias the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening post on al-jazeera. reports of turkey having recordings that prove jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate. this is a live from doha also coming up. michael kills at least six people in florida and
1:49 pm
causes widespread destruction. and there is talk. to the international space station. lift to near disaster failure of a rocket the international space station forces an emergency landing. reporting from the capital of ukraine. with russia this time within the orthodox church which looks like suffering its biggest push for a. us media is reporting that the turkish government has told the u.s. it has video and audio recordings proving that journalist jamal khashoggi was killed inside saudi consulate in istanbul it was last seen ten days ago on the second of october walking into the building to get documentation for his upcoming
1:50 pm
marriage turkish officials say the recording show he was detained by a saudi security team which interrogated tortured and then killed him. joins us from outside of the saudi consulate in istanbul and stephanie what do we know about this recording because this could be the real smoking gun cabinet. well this is an explosive development. i have to say we had been hearing similar reports before that they had some kind of evidence like this it would explain why the turks were very quickly within twenty four hours of disney his disappearance saying that he had been killed inside the consulate as you mentioned would do in video recordings the sources that are published in the washington post quoting both turkish and u.s. officials saying that it shows that he was detained shortly after walking in to the saudi consulate he was then interrogated he was tortured he was killed and he was
1:51 pm
dismembered too they're quoting one anonymous sources saying that you actually hear him being beaten these are unprecedented developments in terms of the facts of the story if they are proven true dora but certainly we're seeing an escalation when it comes to these leaks certainly and gray using the media because this is such a sensitive political story we have not seen any official yet go on camera and making these allegations and making the statement i think interestingly as well overnight this coming out but just last night we were reporting on the fact that the presidential spokesperson how to greet on saudis request that the saudis and the turks would be setting up a joint working group to look into to investigate his death well the turks are now saying this is how we know but of course it also raises the question of how they obtained that information of video recordings inside a foreign consulate this is as you said on the one hand we've got this explosive leak of this joint committee to investigate how might that was.
1:52 pm
what i think it shows that her want to try and find some form of a solution to this we did hear also through sources that the turks agreed at the same time through the public prosecutor they would be pursuing their own investigations what they're waiting for your at the moment is this they've been waiting to go into that consulate building they've also been waiting to go into the home of the consul general because. some of the video that the turks have been investigating showed these cars soon after probably about two hours off to enter the currency that leaving and heading to the house of the consul general and spending some time there so they're very keen to look at that residence as well that hasn't happened yet initially that was agreed upon and then from what we understand from sources over the last couple of days it's been far more difficult sir to have to wait and see whether today or tomorrow there will be movement on this but certainly it when you're talking about or doing video recordings that
1:53 pm
prove according to the turks and now we'll see u.s. officials saying the same thing. that he was killed in this absolutely gruesome manner i mean it throws all kinds of geopolitical of political relations into question what is going to happen we already seeing some businesses being put on hold richard branson the owner of virgin saying that he has put two massive investments a tourism investment freezing them because he says that clearly this kind of a development is not something that they want to be involved in but trump at the same time is said that he didn't think that he would be changing any of the sort of you know military investments and try and weapons deals with saudi arabia because he says he doesn't want the u.s. economy to hurt having said all that laura it's it's unprecedented i think all of us what we initially heard this didn't want to believe it because it was so unbelievable when it came to the facts of this story was still waiting for evidence but certainly incredibly explosive i think if the turks are right saying that they have and video recordings of his killing absolutely i'm about to find out more in
1:54 pm
the coming hours will certainly be keeping a close eye on events stuff the moment thanks very much present on donald trump is appearing reluctant to be set to take punitive measures against saudi arabia if it is indeed found to be responsible for the show she's disappearance as despite pressure from senators from both parties trump is opposing halting a multi-billion dollar arms deal with riyadh reports from washington. the us president has repeatedly stopped short of blaming saudi arabia for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi what happened is a terrible thing assuming that happened i mean maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised but somehow i tend to doubt it and we take it very seriously don't trump says he deploys any move by u.s. senators to block arms sales to saudi in retaliation i don't like the concept of stopping an investment of one hundred ten billion dollars into the united states. because you know they're going to do they're going to take that money and spend it
1:55 pm
or russia or china or someplace else so i. there are other ways if it turns out to be as bad as it might be there are certainly other ways of handling the situation but the president says u.s. investigators are now helping inquiries abroad with a report jew in his words very soon but turkey's foreign minister on a trip to iraq says that's not the case but they do want sodhi help because the incident took place in saudi arabia's consulate we're working on this matter with the saudi authorities and they must cooperate with us on this matter we will announce the results at the end of the investigation a leading republican senator with access to the latest intelligence says he believes jamal khashoggi has been murdered everyone points to saudi arabia and it would appear that he's not a law about what one democrat says the white house can't talk about what it would do to punish the president trumps unwillingness to set out any consequences or even the threat of consequences essentially tells the saudis that were ok
1:56 pm
with this kind of conduct and behavior last year saudi arabia spent more than twenty seven million dollars to warby in washington a process of seeking to influence politicians and cheap policy in its favor one washington more church says their money can't help them with this saudi arabia is one of the most influential lobbying and p.r. machines in washington d.c. but in this case the facts just speak louder than any lobbyist campaign contributions or any p.r. spokespersons talking points possibly could so what good does that do us no donald trump says he's expecting a report on the khashoggi case he will come under pressure from senators to make it public when he receives it only seems reluctant to take action against the country he's built up as a friend in an ally he might be left with no choice but to at. washington. a member of the u.s. senate foreign relations committee jeff flake says saudi sales to arms sales to saudi arabia should end if the kingdom is involved. with the apparent brutal murder
1:57 pm
of the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi some of the some of the real enemies of the people and enemies of freedom seem to have taken license to eliminate a man that their regime viewed as a threat mr president we need to know exactly what happened in that saudi consulate in turkey earlier this month put bluntly we cannot do business with the saudi government if they directed or were complicit in the murder of jamal khashoggi at least six people have died in one of the strongest hearkens to ever hit the united states many coastal towns and still cut off a day after hurrican michel made landfall as a category four storm well nine hundred thousand homes are without power the state's governor rick scott says the storm has left a trail of unimaginable destruction and d.c. correspondent wendy will focus reports from panacea florida. the scope the
1:58 pm
magnitude of the damage here is incredible hopefully you can still see behind me that huge a houseboat that was tossed like a toy from one dock here to another at the height of that storm we have seen countless trees up rooted. homes that are removed from their foundations power lines down one person described those hardest hit areas like a war zone like a bomb had taken advice had gone off here unfortunately it's going to be some time before search and rescue teams can get into those areas and so many people still without power in all of these states florida georgia alabama the carolinas up and a virgin yeah they're without power at this point and the governor here in florida saying it's just not safe to try to come back and assess the damage and don't take

2:00 pm
an eye that we've got a fair amount of cloud across the middle east at the moment tonight it's giving us i want to shower as you can see the cloud as it works its way in from the eastern mediterranean and then just its way across parts of iraq and eventually what's up towards the caspian sea we'll see a few more areas of cloud here as we head through friday and saturday so there's always the risk of seeing want to see more showers in fact on saturday they could head a little bit further towards the south so some of us in the southern parts of iran could see one or two showers here in doha new major changes for us we're looking at a top temperature of around thirty seven degrees but look at this just to the south of oman already the rain over so it looks like the wet weather has reached us but the actual storm itself will probably move its way towards the west and work its way across the eastern parts of yemen but it won't reach there for a good few days yet so that coastline will see some heavy rain between now and then down towards the southern parts of africa we've just got a few showers in the eastern parts of madagascar probably one or two in the west as well.
