i think there is a missing link here in terms of what the total costs know and what the total don't like to show it to the public so the story remains inside the more than more than any other spot at the same time it seems to me that we are now moving away from what happened to her ship here because of this complex diplomatic exchange hotlines between bit two companies and then at the same time you look at europe and the united states they are bringing more. or complexity to what happened to him on that idea of complexity do you get the sense that the tectonic plates of the relationship between washington and rio and ankara are shifting if only because for example we're also being told and this is just one report saying that the united states has had explained to it the contents of these audio and videotapes of mr hersh being killed inside the building allegedly but they haven't shared the

tapes so there's clearly a desire on the part of a deal on there to keep keep the united states on board but don't open up the process to exactly and at the same time it is this i think and it is there's a term to try to find an exit or a correct or a way to sort of small and things and i think what you just mentioned though yes i think now if we look at the context of what happened i'm so hungry the overall picture his death is a trigger event or a new catalyst to the servant shifts in the international relations of several nations visa v. that a year and that the same time i see that there is a double talk in washington. trumper the white house couple of days ago sort of. talked about the father but he didn't know much about it and he was interested in figuring out what happened but yesterday he sounded completely different he is the

leader who is trying to protect. the investment one hundred ten billions billion dollars in the u.s. so the political economy now is trying to compete with our more of pursuit of. truth what happened to the guy at the same time we look at the congress we look at the political establishment in washington the are pushing for some recourse in the asia reconsideration of the entire u.s. so the relations to me i think the momentum of crown prince mohammed bin son man reserving the word was visibly the establishment is winning away now and the debate in washington is to what extent he is our asset both politically and financially or he probably has shifted into a liability and i think we should put all this within the context of the upcoming elections early in november and later on two thousand two thousand and twenty i

think we may witness more. kind of washington tries to distance itself from the because of what what going to be revealed beyond what happened to mr washington but washington surely at some point has to react to another allegation and it is just a claim rather i should say apparently the cia slashed the f.b.i. we don't know which one of the two agencies maybe has intelligence intercepts or different audio recordings talking about a plan to lure this man back to saudi arabia point number one and point number two that plan maybe went awry and i guess point number three how can the plan have gone awry how can the bill scores have gone for. rahm get him into the building abducted him bring him back put him in the ritz cults and some they've done it before with people that the m.p.'s doesn't feel comfortable with how could that plan have gone so terribly terribly wrong while also the award fifteen men hold arrived in

istanbul and they were supposed to stay there for four nights however they left the same day at the same time the security of the consulate was given the day off suddenly so when we lose the logic of events you can see beyond it is a timeline of something weird maybe it was an attempt to hijack him to take him to do so the arabia but things went wrong but i look also at the fact that there is a double standard even with the international approach to this crisis from day one i said we should not rely on the turkish investigators we should have they an international mission coming from geneva coming from new york with several investigators from different countries to grab the evidence before it becomes polluted so now we are nine days i think even if the f.b.i. or cia sent their team they're not going to get much at the same time i did one

indicate that how the saudi officials at the cost of that were confident the said well let's invite throw it all it invade the turks here but i think they have cleaned the mess so now this interest. to the to your question directly are we going to do some investigation to reveal the top guy who gave the green light for the killing of i should be or we may go to the local a b c n are you deaf or used to resist the accusations and then find a couple of small saudi orders to take the blame so maybe out of those fifteen people we may have two or three who will be sensed and sentenced pretty good over a long time so basically we're trying to dissolve the crisis into a long long long process of investigation and they think mr death should not go this way. thank you very much. a funeral has

been held for the bulgarian journalist victoria martin over who was murdered last week the first year old was raped and killed in the northern town of on her last t.v. program she interviewed two journalists investigating suspected corruption involving businessman politician and e.u. funds a man's been arrested in germany in connection with the attack plan to most of the come here on the news hour including how devastating flooding in nigeria could cause a food shortage. also ahead hurricane michael has killed at least six people in florida and caused widespread destruction. and in sports news one of the greatest skiers ever announces retiring but not quite yet joe we'll have all the details in about thirty minutes. nigeria's agriculture minister is warning there could be a shortage of rice the country's staple devastating floods of it large parts of the

country destroying crops just as farmers were getting ready for the harvest addressed visited some of the affected areas in jigawa state for three long weeks floodwaters have covered large parts of jigawa state in the north of nigeria farmlands and damaged roads have become temporary fishing grounds. with their crops rotting under water some farmers salvage what they can more than one hundred thousand of them have seen this year's harvest wiped out from. two or process in the whole chain has broken down and as it is it is it is mostly lost of money to the economy and they do have a multiplier effect on the on the general economy of the state it is the only huge huge loss for us only a few of the states rice farms escaped the flood waters. more than

a thousand hectares of this rice sam has been under water for more than three weeks now the owners say the crop is rotten and lost he like many other farmers would have to find a way of feeding their families before the next harvest that is if the floodwaters don't return sure i will work or borrowed money to expand his farm here in the head age of valley in the hopes of more crops and bigger profits. or music at it i started last year and made a lot of money this year a trickle in of two thousand five hundred dollars to increase output and lost everything. experts are blaming climate change for the floods and i warning of long term consequences it is weren't retired in the first place the right if for food security. and ultimately government may have to take very serious and my this is just to meet the immediate needs of

the old the victims that have been affected this is disaster came when nigeria's borders are still closed to rise imports are staple for most families. in one of the state's most affected of issues are helping to ease the pain of some farmers by giving out seat we are now in the process of given them hybrid seeds mature and seed so that they will use it a c germany at least to rule to get something out of their land but that may not be enough to save the farmers from economic ruin across eighteen states in nigeria more than two hundred thousand hectares of crops have been destroyed in addition to lives crops and homes there's been a significant damage to infrastructure. forced to right can use my highways existed these villagers narrowly escaped death when they wouldn't build capsize reminder to

do the flood has receded the threat to life remains so adamant if it gets as bad as they think it might do how long will the consequences of that last well basically people are still counting their losses there is no rain in the poor in forecast in some sort in some areas especially those communities that leave along major rivers in nigeria so the problem is must've and part of the problem according to some officials who have so far gone some steps in investigating the courses remote courses of beast but to kill or disaster they say that a lack of investment of course is one of the major problems you have several water reserve was across nigeria over the years over the past decades governments have refused or fail to invest in the exploration or maintenance of these projects and

as a result we've seen how damaging this has become not only to. problem and i agree cultural activity in certain areas of nigeria but also to lives and property. i thought for the flooding for them is the fact that the infrastructure for the hundred thousand if that is a muddy guess and it's not complete the dams of steam are complete they're holding billions of these as well what are the three hundred thousand head of which police if they had to say ready every time there is an excess. of one to reinforce your bond to have this kind of problem how well resourced are the authorities to be able to deal with this argument. well basically as you know it's a difficult situation for the local state governments and also at the federal level so it's it's expected that farmers will have to bear the burden of this disaster until one government finds a solution to a remember now you know i recently came out of

a deep recession and there are shortage of funds and resources to deal with the emergence of like this already the country is facing so many crisis. in the north east of the country clashes in the northwest between bandits and security forces a lot of resources have been diverted into these emergencies and now this disaster so basically what people are talking about right now in is is that the government needs to open up the borders to import so as to question the effects of food shortages in keys as the minister has warned there is such an incident this year and into next year i don't waste a lot of people expected to go hungry and then there probably will be a very major serious crisis. many thanks at least thirty people have been killed in a landslide in eastern uganda close to the border with kenya the river burst its banks on thursday sending mud debra down a hillside in the district of buddha many of those killed were at

a market which was buried the government has sent rescue teams to the area landslides there killed more than one hundred people in twenty ten and twenty twelve government efforts to move people to neighboring areas have faced resistance a detained american pastor at the center of a diplomatic dispute between the u.s. and turkey is back in court for a case hearing andrew brunson has been held since twenty sixteen he was initially accused of being linked to groups involved in the years failed coup in turkey some charges have since been dropped he's now accused of espionage the white house imposed sanctions and tariffs on turkish entities earlier this year demanding bronson's release cynical isn't covering the case. we don't have we don't have anything concrete about the decision of the trial we are hearing that he might be released we are hearing that he will be kept inside also we are hearing that maybe as as a first that his travel ban will be lifted and there will be another trial

scheduled for for the end of this year but of course it will depend on what we're going to hear as a court decision but if the israelis of course this is going to have a positive impact on the turkish economy because relations have been strained over this case and the u.s. administration has imposed some tariffs on some turkish products and turkey imposed some counterterrorist counter sanctions and this tension is supposed to end according to some economists because this also puts pressure on the turkish lira which has been on the slide since the beginning of the year which has lost forty percent of its value i must international has said any talk of reconstruction in syria is premature the organization says human rights abuses continue with thousands of people in detention and many more still missing and the situation in iraq is critical that city was once held by isis thirty thousand houses and rather have been completely destroyed and twenty five thousand partially destroyed. it's

a city where it appears there are more bodies underneath the ground and living souls. to be more specific on that. there are multiple places where thousands of people have been buried. we spoke with the early recovery team it's a tiny unit that currently digs out and buries the bodies as of two days ago they have recovered two thousand five hundred twenty one bodies and this number grows every day at least six people have died in one of the strongest hurricanes ever to hit the united states a day after hurricane michel made landfall many coastal towns in florida are still cut off the state's governor rick scott says the storm has left

a trail of unimaginable destruction is on the ballot. this is what remains of mexico beach a community that officials say has been all but wiped out the eye of hurricane michael came ashore with devastating consequences. most heeded the warnings to leave the search for those that ignored the evacuation orders is growing increasingly desperate when the storm hit it brought winds of two hundred fifty kilometers an hour making it one of the most powerful hurricanes to make landfall in the u.s. it's like our lives are gone you know our lives everything we have is gone now the stuff we lost our cars everything the stuff the stones. where can. they store to store them just hard to realize just what just happened to step it surviving it is the best the most important thing i think if we just be able to survive in nearby panama city to the picture is grim the cleanup here will be time consuming and costly but search and rescue efforts are

a priority the national guard are on the ground along with search and rescue crews but challenges remain one of the things that is compounding the problems here are situations like this where you've got downed trees and they are everywhere all across the florida panhandle and that is especially important for one reason that means the emergency services search and rescue can still not get to the areas where they're most needed as the powerful storm headed in london brought misery to georgia and the carolinas but it's what happened here along the florida panhandle that will leave the longest lasting impact and gallacher al-jazeera eastpointe florida. a severe cyclon has killed at least nine people in eastern india after made landfall on thursday about three hundred thousand people were forced to move to higher ground before tetley arrived in addition the heavy winds and rain brought down trees and caused widespread power cuts as well. now a few moments rebel join us with the weather for you but also still ahead here on the al-jazeera news i will also cover these stories disaster relief and

developments are in the spotlight as indonesia hosts the world bank and i.m.f. only weeks after a devastating earthquake and tsunami. and national treasure returns to iran after an order by a court in new york. and joe will join us and tell us why croatia and england will be playing friday's nation's league games behind closed doors that's in the sports news in about fifteen. nice pink skies by the time half. hour is the sun sets in the city of angels. there are two times in the year two periods when you might get psyched out on the side of india when the monsoons coming up and i wanted to subpoena his disappearing moment so this is the latest cycle which is you just heard killed nine people as it came through the coast of a dish it did some mind hours with the winds the flooding of course course and

widespread problem and still does now the figures that came out of it poorly two hundred times two millimeters and jharkhand a hundred eleven the rain of course has spread north and east and is still going in that general direction will fire the next two days more reports probably from somewhere like a somewhat maybe northern bank that ash a similar amounts of rainfall as this thing falls apart so that's the next two days sort of weather it also will affect the amount of rain that falls further south down the coast in entrepreneurship and i've been deliberately standing over the arabian sea because it's circulation going on there now the satellite has picked that up and we knew about this days ago as indeed did you slow moving cycling is drifting towards the coast of oman it's been raining in all and off for a day or so and is persistent right now all of this us significant winds gale force winds and approaching the coast of man i think the persistence of rain once again

be the problem and once more is almost at the center of it. the weather sponsored by cats on race. were. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to the bench and fight against corruption and what i have learned is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this. nominate your own version here on shine the light on what they do and do it not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international pacer war two

thousand and eighteen for more information go to isa war dot com. welcome back you're watching the al-jazeera news hour my name's peter dhabi these are your top stories so far the u.s. media is reporting that the turkish government says it has video and audio recordings proving the journalist was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul he was last seen ten days ago walking into the building to get the taishan for his then forthcoming marriage. a detained american pastor at the center of a diplomatic dispute between the u.s.

to end in the coming hours after recovery efforts were extended friday prayers were held in the city of pollard two weeks on from the disaster indonesia says it could take up to two years to rebuild so the way sea island or than two thousand people have now been confirmed dead the u.n. secretary general has praised the indonesian government for its quick response to the disaster and soon you could terrorise visited the island of silhouette seen by thousands still also feared buried under the rubble and mud i must say that i have a lot of admiration for what has been an extremely effective response of the indonesian government of course when we see is the ever station we are broken i mean there are still probably one thousand bodies below this rubble in front of us but the resilience of the indonesian people and the group quick response and effective response of the indonesian government deserve the admiration of the

international community and i hope they'll be a lot of support for the reconstruction for these people to be able to see again life we hope the u.n. is already working with the russian government with asean we are imbedded in the effort that is being done on the ground we have launched already an appeal we are working fully with the usual government but one single must be clear it's important that the leadership must be the local leadership it's in the region government that can lead these efforts the international community should be here to support not to complicate seems sometimes too many people try to get involved in sings and then of course the support of the populations is not as effective as it should be indonesian government is doing a very good job and we are seeing to support them in line with their own strategy. the i.m.f. the international monetary fund is urging the u.s. and china to fix trade rules and not to break them the ongoing trade war between the two countries is at the top of the agenda as the i.m.f. and central bankers meet in indonesia the i.m.f.

chief christine legarde says it could have damaging consequences the response to the disaster in the way c. will also be discussed at that annual meeting scott hyla joins us live now from bali the scope before we get into the nitty gritty of the i.m.f. and christine lagarde the people of palu what the future for them must still be pretty bleak. it is at this stage peter now it's very it's you know this marks now that at sunset it marks the end of the transition of the rescue search operation it now goes into the rebuilding operation it is as you heard from in terms of the good that is the second general the united nations there and if we've been speaking with here they see that it's very important that that transition is made obviously it's a sad moment because that means they have decided there will be no one else found alive so they're transitioning now from searching to rebuilding but what is important a lot of people here say and that is that that rebuilding process starts local economies start rebuilding and mo and people start going back to work to slowly get

back to normal life because if money they say here this is an economic conference they say is critical to get these villages even the small small villages back up on their feet is the economies need to get going people need to be working so they can make money so they can rebuild so it's all very important steps of being a very sad note today because that search operation is stopping in some ways you know and but right now moving forward this is the most appropriate step everyone here says an important step and transition they're making right now here so we're experiencing as well the meeting that's going on behind you i mean we are experiencing a trade war between the u.s. and china what does christine legarde the i.m.f. boss want them to do to lessen the impact of that. well in a way of putting it says she said it directly they want she wants them to deescalate this trade friction this trade war that's been going on the last several months now mainly because she said yes obviously you've got the two largest economy in the

world not even talking to each other anymore you know there was early hope early hope that they might meet representatives from those two nations might meet on the sidelines here at these meetings this week here in bali that didn't happen the friction and the rhetoric from both is still escalating but what really concerns people here beyond the two largest economies is that there's a knock on effect of this trade war and they've actually even downgraded the i.m.f. has downgraded the economic growth outlook for the global economy by point two percent over the next two years changing on the trade friction also the world bank who looks more at alleviating poverty around the world lifting nations out of their lower ecan economic situation and elevating them into a better trade situation get better trade position with other nations they're worried because of the knock on effect of this trade war will hit poor countries because of supply chains being disrupted and that's where those supply chains are kind of the bottom of the supply chains are in the poor nations so they're

concerned because that trade frictions can have knock on effect on countries who are just trying to come up out of poverty and kind of build their economy. of all this those scott i mean the two countries that we're discussing here america and china which country is suffering the most to mean there was a point or two three years ago growth predictions for the chinese economy they were between six point seven and seven percent and the european economy would beg to get those kind of figures so even if the chinese economy comes back to predict the growth of four point five zero five percent that's still a good place to be. i think we've lost that line there too scott high level trying to back to school if we can i'm sure we will indeed in the coming few hours to stay with us for that now a global partnership of scientists is building the first prototype nuclear fusion reactor in the southeast of france costing at least twenty four billion dollars the project could be the answer to the world's clean energy needs when it's switched on

but that's not expected for seventeen years as natasha explains from engineers say the project is so complex and expensive they fear delays could cause countries to pull the plug on the funding. set in pine forests in the south of france is the world's biggest nuclear experiment hundreds of experts are working on a unique reactor project called e-tail that could help solve the world's energy problems by capturing the power of nuclear fusion it's run by the e.u. and six countries including the us russia and china. before the their civilities the live meter is about and to supporting our future energy needs and finding a source that can last for centuries it will consume hydrogen due tyrian and tritium for which we have resources for hundreds of thousands of years above all it'll be safer and create no long lasting radioactive waste when the reactor is finished it will contain one million purpose built components from around the world

they must be precisely fitted there's no room for mistakes nuclear energy is currently created by splitting atoms but fusion forces them together it's the same process the power as the sun and this reactor aims to replicators inside the reactor reply as more of heated gas would reach temperatures of more than one hundred fifty million degrees centigrade fusing the atoms to create energy of magnetic field would protect the machine from intense heat if i walk on all the big projects but this one is more complicated and it's all about one thing and that is hitting their lines. sticking to a tight shadow is one of each tells main challenges when it launched in two thousand and six everyone thought the reactor would be finished in ten years but thirty five countries investing in building components the just sticks politics and the sheer complexity of the project has caused delays and rising costs despite that

it is director general says the project is on track by someone half a recent three this dignity will be available zervos if you will not be so easy to use anymore and so we really have competent fusion technology ridge will be available for all the world critics say there's a risk that won't work will never lead to fusion energy being commercially viable it could be an enormous waste of time and money but if it does work it could help save the planet from climate change and prove the power of the human imagination for those here it's a gamble worth taking the trash butler al-jazeera. france the ukrainian president petro poroshenko has welcomed a decision that gives his country's christian orthodox church full independence from russia a service to mark the historic move was held in the capital kiev if follows the
