6:02 pm
we were the news good live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live and at al-jazeera dot com it's been eleven days since sally journalist jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the consulate and as bold and since then reports have emerged office alleged torture and murder inside the compound the finger of suspicion points towards the ob which says it's involved in the joint investigation with turkey on the case but says the saudis and not cooperating so far despite global condemnation and increasing isolation of saudi arabia its main ally the u.s. has been cautious and pinning any blame us president donald trump says imposing sanctions on the biggest buy of american weapons is not an option but as valen severe punishment if the involvement is proven the journalist journalist was he murdered by the saudis and did the prince give the order to kill him nobody knows yet but will probably be able to find out it's being
6:03 pm
investigated it's being looked at very very strongly and we would be very upset and angry if that were the case as of this moment they deny it and they deny vehemently . could it be them years jarrod jervas son in law got on the phone and asked the prince did he what did it and i have to they deny it they denied every way you can imagine in the not too distant future i think we'll know an answer what are your options let's say they did what are your options would you consider imposing sanctions as a bipartisan group of senators have proposed what depends on what the sanctions give you an example they are ordering military equipment everybody in the world one of that order russia wanted it china wanted it we wanted it we got it and we are all of it every bit of it so would you cut that on what well i'll write what i don't want to do boeing lockheed raytheon all these guys i don't want to hurt jobs
6:04 pm
i don't want to lose an order like that and you know there are other ways of. punishing to use a word that's a pretty harsh word but it's true to tell everybody what's at stake here you know that this is a lot of there's a lot of stake and maybe especially so because this man was a reporter there's something you'll be surprised to me say that there's something really terrible in discussing about that if that were the case so we're going to have to see we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment which one of our correspondent mike hanna he's live for us and washington d.c. so severe punishment mike botched president trump has not changed his tune on sales how does this work. well indeed yes making very clear that he'd be reluctant to institute any form of economic sanction in particular the question of stopping arms
6:05 pm
sales to the saudis who are the u.s. is biggest arms customer however the president trump is under a degree of pressure from congress the senate committee the judicial committee has sent him a letter invoking the magnitsky act now that is an act that provides sanction or human rights accountability around the globe the senators saying that if saudi is found to be involved in the disappearance of the journalist then sanctions must be imposed even at the very highest level as the letter puts it now from the sending of that letter to a decision being taken is a time span of one hundred twenty days instead of the ledger synced in terms of the legislation so president trump is under pressure from his congress to take some kind of action should saudi involvement be proved in the disappearance of so he is under pressure it's a bipartisan move by congress keeping pressure to bear on the president to take some kind of action should the saudis be involved in this disappearance and because
6:06 pm
of that pressure in the form of the magnitsky act mike this is not just up to president trump anymore is it. well it does in the end come down to the president he can decide to take whatever action he wants to however that would be coming up against an entirely united congress now this is a new experience or would be a new experience for president up until now the congress a republican majority has basically done what the president has wanted however here we have an issue that is very definitely bipartisan senators and congressmen and women on both sides of the aisles have made very clear their position on this hence the letter from the senate judicial committee so for the first time really president trump will be coming up against a congress that is totally united this is a very strange experience for him and one must remember too that saudi feeling in
6:07 pm
the congress this is not new there have been in recent months disquiet expressed by a number of people in congress to the arms sales to saudi arabia particularly with regard to the ongoing conflict in yemen so certainly there has been a lot of movement within the congress as to u.s. side ties with saudi arabia there has been pressure on president trump to limit these arms sales now that pressure will increase in will continue to grow so certainly very difficult time very difficult decision making for the president mike thank you very much that is mike hanna live and washington d.c. we're joined now by matthew brize a senior fellow at the atlantic council and a former senior u.s. official covering it to he is joining us live from istanbul mr baez a very good to have you with us on the news going so is president trump increasingly at odds with congress on this now. well as a bit it's
6:08 pm
a little bit early to tell i think the short answer is yes he does seem to be much more subdued then even some senior republican senators like lindsey graham who's very close to president trump in for days has been speaking with the assumption that we all know that saudi arabia did this and if that's true there will be held to pay so there is there is a split but president trump has shown how unconventional a president he can be on many issues normally this would be a stand that we morally unjustified to say well we want to sell more arms to saudi arabia therefore we're not going to cut off those shipments that are used to actually to to to cope continue the war in yemen which is the world's largest humanitarian disaster catastrophe but president trump is unconventional so he seems to be playing to keep his options open and he'll wait to see how high he gets but as that unconventional some would say is sort of a hands off approach and they built this solidly leaderships and stings do you
6:09 pm
think because there are those who think that you know conference mohamed bin solomon thought that he could deal with the same way that he deals with critics at home and has the crown prince been emboldened by his close relationship with donald trump his son in law and advise the jad kushner and their approach to muhammad bin salam. you know that is to me the biggest underlying question i think. affiliated question is was the saudi arabia the decision to create the rift with qatar for example a result of president trump's consultations in riyadh since then so this rift developed shortly thereafter so that is a big question i certainly don't know the answer but what is clear is that you're a cushion or has been looks to by his father in law and by the administration as the key person to build that relationship with mohamed bin solomon so yeah it's
6:10 pm
seems like it's a fair assumption that at least if it's the case that the crown prince ordered this crime that he felt that he had some sort of implicit approval from washington though nobody again i'm not saying he ordered it of course and but if that is the case will muhammad and solomon have to be even moved in his capacity as comprende for the u.s. to maintain their close relationship with saudi. and once again president trump at this point is trying to make a case that that would not be the case but it really depends in my mind on what your correspondent was saying just prior to this the depends on how united the congress will be both houses in demanding something like that it also depends on how the international business community reacts and we've seen in the last couple of days some real significant business leaders like richard branson distancing himself from saudi arabia the president of the world bank just announced he's not
6:11 pm
going to attend the future investment initiative the davos in the desert conference so president trump i think will be affected by the degree to which international business community congress and the media make clear how unacceptable that was to the situation would be if the crown prince stayed method by as a thank you very much for that for now we will be going back to mr prize a little bit later on in the bulletin but let's go now to our correspondent. that has been covering the story extensively for as he is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul the saudi delegation has been in the capital for a day now to thought he's have just said in the past few minutes jamal that they're not cooperating what does this mean. well it would give us an indication that the discussions that have been had between this delegation that was dispatched by riyadh to. that those discussions haven't been as food for or as
6:12 pm
forthcoming as the turks would have liked the foreign minister we understand the target from minister has said that said the saudis have not been cooperating as they would like and therefore is calling on them to increase that cooperation so that this issue can be resolved it is a bit surprising that this comment is being made because like you say it comes just twenty four hours after this saudi the occasion arrived in ankara headed by prince . faisal who is king solomon's most senior advisor a governor of micah one of the most the holiest city in the muslim world or one of the most significant positions that you could hold in the kingdom and the fact that he met with president roger tabor drawn was giving us an idea or maybe that some sort of breakthrough was you know coming closer we were coming closer to some sort of a breakthrough now the tracks maybe a ramping up the pressure maybe the breakthrough that they were hoping for hasn't come and that would. point also in be proven or supported rather by the fact that
6:13 pm
till now texas authorities have not been able to enter this building behind me the consul the consulate the building where german officials she was last seen entering eleven days ago they have not been given permission to enter the consul general house these are who are to serve so some vehicles and isis through the diplomatic missions so this latest statement from the turks just so how complicated the current situation is now in the standoff between ankara and the reality is still very much in place jamal thank you very much that is just live and stumble let's get more on this now with rocket so i know he's the washington d.c. cos fondant for taking his daily newspaper and he's joining us live from istanbul mr sawyer it's very good to have you with us on the news. squid i want to talk more about why this case is as complicated as it is as our correspondent jamal was saying why authorities do you think of giving saudi as much it seems like leave way
6:14 pm
as they are saying now the saudi delegation isn't cooperating the forty eight hours that they gave the saudis more than forty eight hours ago has. gone this still not allowed into the consulate. so the turkish authorities are actually trying to increase the pressure day by day by leaking stuff to media and trying to get the international support behind them because this is not a matter for just turkey and saudi arabia obviously this is an international matter this individual was of course a saudi journalist but he was a resident of the united states and he was working for the most prestigious nice paper maybe in the united states washington post and he traveled to turkey so it includes three countries in total says just love like turkey and the united turkey and saudi arabia united states as well. in this regard turkish over show they're actually trying to get international backing and trying to pressure saudi arabia to
6:15 pm
actually cooperate and that's what they want to do because they don't want to make it look like a diplomatic matter no this is a criminal matter children deserve is over she will and there has been and that that the nation or kidnapping and disappearance any of them should be investigated according to turkish legal on this than they get also international agreements such as the un a convention as you suggest that if turkish authorities are not allowed to enter the saudi consulate turkish authorities can use the un a convention which actually details what to do in those kind of circumstances and they can actually get testimonies from the individuals working at the consulate so there is a way to follow they're trying to work with saudi authorities they're respecting the so we're going to see saudi arabia but if they're not working if they're not cooperating they will use other means of course well and it has been eleven days so you know when are they going to use those other means because this court is of course it is an international diplomatic and said and now but we losing five of the
6:16 pm
fact that it's also an alleged murder and it is a criminal investigation and we get to hear officially from turkish authorities about what happened. these are an ongoing investigation so the actual visuals are not going to get us all directed statements on will be missed the whole bit and because of the. cooperation by the saudi authorities turkish locals are having a hard should be investigation that's why they're not being open shows that was coming out of the turkish officials because they need to wait for the police force because of the investigation and the prosecutor preparing some sort of indictment that they will come and say that yes that happened and all that those are the evidences we have that's live you actually have leaks media because they cannot comment told about the issues legally speaking because they are not allowed to speak that is right and soil is joining us live from istanbul thank you very much for that we are going to bring in
6:17 pm
a social media producer andrew chappelle now we've been covering the story a lot andrea but how is the rest of the world following this will it continues to build in one country in particular liz and that is the united states it's been eleven days since he disappeared and now more than seventy percent of twitter traffic mentioning these name is coming out of the united states you might be able to get a sense of that looking at this trends map visualization it shows all of the posts over the last twenty four hours or so so you have national cable networks which have been devoting half hour blocks to this story more and more americans in particular are googling they're looking for more information about his disappearance you can see that from the searches that are coming out of the united states over the past few days that interest obviously there continues to grow now in u.s. networks and on twitter there's been a steady stream of very strong comments in the past few hours for example the former cia director john brennan posted that there must be a full and forceful u.s. response to saudi arabia if. it was indeed killed by the saudi government now if
6:18 pm
you take a step back i can give you a sense of how big an issue this is become listen to the former u.s. ambassador to saudi arabia robert jordan. i think this is the worst moment in u.s. shot a relationship. i arrived in saudi arabia as an basher a month after nine eleven and the question then was are the saudis friend or foe i think we've got some other questions your honor right now is this a regime that is do sending on a slippery slope into authoritarianism. and perhaps behavioral and i think we've got to seriously ask that question so this is become a big public relations disaster for the kingdom but if you hop over to saudi twitter you'll see that the narrative is totally different it's completely different and if you look at his name it is trending in saudi arabia most of the popular posts of the day accuse this network al jazeera of spreading fake news
6:19 pm
related to this story they also accused of having ties to al qaeda and they cast doubt on all of those images and videos that we've seen over the past few days now finally as we've mentioned over the past few days because showed his employer the washington post has been demanding answers from the saudi government today october thirteenth would have been his sixtieth birthday according to several twitter users who knew him so let us know what you think about this story and how it's being covered in your country you can tweet us your thoughts using the hash tag it's a new script. let's thank you very much andrew and i will go to a few thoughts in just a moment but before we do we have a special page on al jazeera dot com for all the latest developments in the story i would recommend the latest episode of up front with the house and who interviewed earlier this year and he talks to guests. who knew the journalist about what should happen now. and we do want to hear from you on all of these stories you can send
6:20 pm
your comments to any of our online platforms on twitter just use the hash tag a.j. news good handle is at a.j. english we're also on facebook dot com slash al-jazeera you can send us a message on whatsapp or telegram at plus line seven four five triple one four nine and just to go to a couple of comments from our facebook viewers who are watching online. alaina says trump's response is too little too contrived too late rebecca do no business with saudi arabia no one in the world should buy their black gold but jane says the four making threats find the people responsible and see how saudi arabia rectifies the problem since it was their territory now from the shore case to the release of an american pasta on friday it has been a very busy week in turkey baster and bronson is on his way home and it's expected to land in the u.s.
6:21 pm
shortly he was released by to fish caught after two years in detention on espionage charges his case contribution to a major diplomatic row between the u.s. and turkey and in the coming hours bronson will head to the oval office to meet donald trump who through his release scored an important victory with his event jellicoe supporter base trump has tweeted saying it will be wonderful to see and meet him is a great christian who's been through such a tough experience i'd like to thank president ever the one for his help he also said there were. no deal made with the turkey for the release and return of pasta andrew bronson i don't make deals for hostages there was however great appreciation on behalf of the united states which will lead to good perhaps great for nations between the united states and ticky let's go back to matthew brize in istanbul now mr rise a does pasta bronson's release clear the way do you think full full restorations all of us to relations i think it definitely clears the way
6:22 pm
for that now there are still some very difficult questions on the us turkey agenda having to do with fines and potential criminal prosecution of the state being called hoping for violating iran sanctions but i also know that a few months ago in august the two sides were very close to an agreement that would involve that issue as well as pastor bronson's release and it was only when president trump began to threaten turkey with his tweets and then applied double the aluminum and steel tariffs against turkey that that whole process broke down so what i'm trying to say is the crisis that ensued over pastor bronson was sort of self made by president trump and then obstructed all other discussions at the highest level president trump said we won't talk about anything with turkey unless the pastor is freed so the pastor is free of the obstacles removed and sure it's time to get back to work in the u.s.
6:23 pm
turkey agenda ok so you don't think then that really is has anything to do with jamaal case. i don't i think it's actually just a moment of coincidence a remarkable one but i do think that the turkish government is striving to use not just the release of the pastor but also its vigorous. effort to investigate even though you haven't had sort such official statements you've had leaks as our last guest from davis obama say but i think the turkish government is trying to show through those leaks that it is serious about getting on the same page as the united states and investigating this apparent murder and as well as you know the good news for pasta brunson this is great news for president trump is it not ahead of those mid to elections he is an evangelical pasta it is also good news for turkey its economy has. taken
6:24 pm
a massive downward spiral because of this rift with the u.s. . yes i think you're right on both counts number one. i'd tend to believe that one reason why president trump decided to spawn the crisis over pastor bronson's released in august was because he did have an eye on the midterm elections coming up as did vice president pence not many people realize that forty percent of american voters call themselves evangelical christians forty percent and in two thousand and sixteen president trump won eighty percent of those voters so there are a big and important voter voting bloc i think president trump has energized that part of his base now by. saying he secured pastor bronson's release and i think you know now is probably the logical time for that release to happen in terms of the midterm election coming up as for the turkish economy yeah i mean is this it's in a very fragile state i think anything that can be done to improve u.s.
6:25 pm
turkey relations is going to help stabilize the turkish lira we already saw it again today after having dropped by forty percent throughout the year so far and twenty five percent just in the month of august when when this big controversy over pastor bronson was reaching its peak so this is a very good moment as well for the turkish economy to achieve stabilization however fully to stabilize i think markets are going to want to see some structural reforms put in place that will be politically difficult especially with municipal elections coming up next year in turkey but are absolutely essential and i think the new finance minister is trying quite quite hard in fact to sell such a plan mr prizes thank you very much for you will and sites on this matthew prize alive and as bull now if you want to read more about pasta bronson and importance to donald trump support base especially ahead of next month's crucial midterm elections to check out this excellent explainer on al jazeera dot com you will find
6:26 pm
it by searching for and brunson. we are going to move on to other news now and an explosion at an election rally in afghanistan has killed at least fourteen people and just thirteen albums and in the wolf eastern province off. has more from kabul the talks between the u.s. and the taliban a significant step forward but he says that this is only mean that we're going to see an end to violence in afghanistan anytime soon the americans and the international community say there's no military solution to the conflict afghanistan and therefore they're willing to have all the parties come on board particularly the taliban and the afghan government to negotiate the terms of a permanent political situation solution to the crisis in afghanistan talks started in the summer the work is still mantle of for the three day cease fire that took place in june but then they stalled over differences between the taliban and the

going to go to malaysia now a former deputy prime minister ibrahim has won a crucial parliamentary by election paving the way for his bid to become the next leader it is a remarkable comeback for a man convicted of sodomy and corruption twice during a power struggle with promise to mahathir mohamad abraham was eventually pardoned and formed a new opposition alliance with mahathir and together they struck a deal saw it brought him to become the next prime minister went on whatever hymns political career has been turbulent has fought started in the line nine hundred ninety s. when he was deputy to the home of they fell out of the malaysia's response to the asian financial crisis in line nine hundred ninety seven abraham was eventually sacked and jailed on charges of sodomy and corruption he was freed in two thousand and four only to be jailed again and twenty fifteen has always maintained the accusations were politically motivated earlier this year once his enemy and now
6:39 pm
his. mother has secured a royal pardon for him but abraham so sean is the executive director of the baker center for opinion research and he says despite his victory on faces other challenges. i think for the most part mr unaware is here to preside over a reform agenda the coalition that he's led together with former prime minister. dr mahathir is basically coming into the picture to. initiate a reform agenda with the intention of improving good governance improving civil liberties as well as resolving the problems that presiding over the malaysian bureaucracy that has been with the or ruling party for sixty years so he has a big task a hit and i think the immediate juncture he needs to find a way to work very closely with his former nemesis dr mahathir right at the
6:40 pm
forefront of the mindset of the hood this is the concern over the economy missions economy continues to grow at the macro economic indicators are fairly positive however there is a concern particularly among the very large middle class and also the working class segments of the population that the wealth of the country is not trickling down the way it is intended so many people complaining over stagnant wages and rising costs and that is the first item on the to do list of the new government that mr underwire is fired off but why the government tries to initiate reforms on a bureaucracy that has never seen a transfer of power there are also undercurrents surrounding wrists and religion which has always underpinned malaysian politics for decades. to jenny now tens of thousands of people have protested against racism and nationalism the rally in berlin was to counter right when clinton beholding violent santa followed that
6:41 pm
demonstrations in the past few months and to my contentions and germany have increased since the fatal stabbing of the man and chemnitz and all this and it's only. two is at the center of my current sentiments which are becoming more mainstream was a new government and power its anteroom minister seems to want to different rules for shop owners depending on where they're from and has been following that story thanks liz well mattel salvini is often called out on social media in particular for his anti immigrant policies and statements but that hasn't stopped him from pushing on and making new comments now he's said he thinks that shops with quote ethnic owners should be closed by nine pm he's an uncle william and i mean they could just see what it's the amendment calls for ethnic shops to become the home of junkets drug dealers and casinos to be closed by nine pm each this is an initiative
6:42 pm
against for installs it's an initiative to limit the abuse in the regularities of some shops almost all monitored by foreign citizens that become a place for but people. so that was part of a twenty five minute facebook live video in which the venue defends his proposals and it's it's actually an add on to his anti migrant bill which parliament is already considering but critics are calling this new idea fascist the opposition politician monica serina says mattel slovenian wants to register stores based on the ethnicity of owners when will he put yellow stars on the windows it's an obvious reference to some of the measures used by the nazis during the holocaust and she's not the only one drawing those comparisons the european parliament vice presidents we did that so he needs discriminatory measures and fake patriotism reminds us of the dark ages of fascism in italy back in the thirty's and forty's he says we don't need hatred in our societies we need inclusive policies for all people now thousands of grocery stores and italy are owned by immigrants they come
6:43 pm

in the past few months public prosecutors have raided church offices in five cities uncovering evidence of abuses that were never reported to authorities they've identified one hundred seventy eight victims seventy nine of the minors and charged one hundred sixty seven members of the clergy with carrying out covering up abuses . among them are seven bishops the current archbishop of santiago and his predecessor. who remains a member of pope francis's top advisory council. the cardinals and the pope have offered to cooperate in the investigation but the prosecutor leading the charge tells al-jazeera he has his doubts. there's been no cooperation understood as bold terribly providing evidence or information and we're still waiting for the data consistent information we requested so we haven't seen it out you to active

cooperation from the vatican either in an astonishingly clumsy attempt to counter the crisis two weeks ago the archbishop's office published a clerical guidelines manual it outlines quote inappropriate ways for members of the clergy to express affection that includes kissing on the lips slapping a backside sleeping with under-age youngsters or touching their genitals it calls such an immediate outcry that the archdiocese was forced to remove the manual from its web page and apologize too late to prevent further discredit to the once all powerful institution. and while survivors protest outside the cardinal's house asking for justice prosecutors continue analyzing evidence that they believe will uncover even more abuse cases you see in human al-jazeera santiago all. right coming up another bonus story from facebook this time about what china is

joe is here to talk sports and the homecoming of a certain football player is getting fans excited on social media joe yes it is this yes you have seen both terry on re and monaco are trending worldwide today and that's because the full well cup winner has been appointed as the new head coach of the french league team the frenchman started his playing career at monaco before moving to you ventus and then also know why he spent eight years now this is on ray's first big managerial role having served as belgium's assistant coach throughout the world cup he signed a three year contract. and retreated saying he's very proud to be the new manager after receiving some very attractive offers over the last few months monaco will always be close to my heart he wrote monaco also feeling nostalgic about henri's return tweeting this photo of him when he was a player with them between one thousand nine hundred four and one nine hundred
6:54 pm
ninety nine and it hasn't escaped notice that henri's new appointment puts him in direct conflict with his former france an arsenal teammate patrick vieira who is the manager of the club down the road nice the two teams will face each other in the french league in december now could the olympics be facing one of its biggest crises i'm not talking about doping all corruption i'm talking about not having enough candidates to actually host and unpick games just three days after being confirmed as candidates stockholm's bid for the twenty twenty six winter olympics is in serious doubt the new leaders of the city's council don't want to host the games a coalition between the center right environmentalist's agree that the bid should be withdrawn because they don't want taxpayers to fund it this is bad news of course for the stockholm bid team because they say that one hundred percent of it will be privately financed and they want to explain their plans in more detail if
6:55 pm
stockholm pulls out the remaining two bids a fall from secure calgary in canada could withdraw depending on the outcome of a public referendum next month and that leaves the joint bid from milan and co teena but it's unclear if the italian government will fund it the international committee admit they have no plan b. if all three bids collapse the final decision we made in june next year and this is part of a worrying trend for the i.o.c. take a look at this graph that shows you the number of bid cities for the summer and winter olympics there were eleven biggest the twenty two thousand and four games which went to athens but since then the numbers of started to drop just three cities for twenty eight. teen five to twenty twenty two for twenty twenty two and three for twenty twenty four and of coolest twenty twenty six is in real danger of having none al-jazeera spoke to economics professor andrew zimbalist who has written several books about the cost of hi sting the olympics the problem here is obvious
6:56 pm
the problem is that the i.o.c. requires the host city to take on full responsibility for cost overruns and the price has been going higher and higher because there are all these unfunded mandates that the i.o.c. requires and cities obviously have a lot of social and human and medical needs that they have to attend to for their population and it's just not an affordable thing anymore it's very interesting when you look at this notion of private financing the swedes have said that the stockholm games will be privately financed what is private financing it will have to do is you have to go and find a construction company investment company to do things like build the olympic stadium or to build an olympic village how do you get them to do that you offer them tax incentives sometimes you give them free land so there are a lot of statistical games that can be played to make it look like the olympics don't cost as much that's one of the things that the i.o.c. is doing now but they have to really make substantially larger. investments if if
6:57 pm
they're hoping to leave cities financially whole and environmentally sound whether or not politically they'll be able to get to the point where they say ok we're only going to have one host for the summer and one hopes for the want to games or maybe build a set of facilities somewhere between in athens and libya where they have the age pension games and all the olympics in greece every four years that's another possibility so i think there are a number of ways they can go right now they're stuck with thomas block i think they're stuck in a mindset and a culture that makes it very very difficult for them to move forward but over time if if. every four years they're not getting better is for the winter in the summer games they're going to have to take more radical measures we can let me know what you think about those stories or anything else using the hash tag a.j. news great or you can tweet me at. back one thousand nine hundred g.m.t. but for now it is back to elizabeth thank you very much joe and that will do it for
