take you to the tent city in the texas desert home to thousands of migrant children move from u.s. foster homes by the trump of ministration. u.s. president donald trump has vowed to severely punished saudi arabia if the kingdom is found to be behind the disappearance of jamal khashoggi the veteran journalist was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul eleven days ago to say they have proof he was murdered inside the compound but speaking on the u.s. news program sixty minutes president trump said saudi arabia denies it knows anything about fate. the journalists the saudi journalist was he murdered by the saudis and did the prince give the order to kill him or nobody knows yet but will probably be able to find out it's being investigated it's
7:02 pm
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 don't deny vehemently could it be them yes jarrah jervas son in law has got on the phone and asked the prince did he what did it and i have to do 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 off well to what i don't want to do boeing lockheed raytheon all these cars i don't want to hurt jobs i don't want to
7:03 pm
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 was there's 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 to discuss thing 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. all turkey says it's made a claim is based on a recording from the apple watch khashoggi was wearing when he entered the consulate charles strafford explains. pro-government turkish media say it has proof that jamal who showed she was murdered by a saudi hit squad that proof it says is a recording made using an apple watch which the journalist was wearing on the day he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey government sources told
7:04 pm
al-jazeera the watch which sinks to his phone which he left with his fiance who waited for him outside the watch can only record audioboo the recording so say turkish government sources is clear enough to establish the her soul she was murdered inside the consulate but technology experts doubt that the watch could have recorded audioboo evidence in this case i wouldn't say unbelievable there's a few technical challenges a few potential issues with this narrative it's not immediately consistent with the story and what we know the details. but the technology is capable of creating a lot of the imagery and it's also designed to synchronize it's designed to try to find access point and connect so it's not out of the realm of possibility so there are still questions about exactly how the turkish authorities obtained the audio evidence saudi arabia has called the allegations of baseless lies on friday the
7:05 pm
kingdom to spanish king solomon's top advisor prince khalid al faisal who met the turkish president received tight urge to try and find a way out of this crisis turkey is pushing saudi arabia to allow a joint team access into the consulate to conduct an investigation of the suspected murder scene speculation will continue to grow as to what exactly happened in the building behind me until solid evidence is very least that some sources in the turkish government and the turkish media say proves. was murdered the turkish government has yet to release a formal statement on a crisis that is fast becoming a major defeat. a massive issue with huge ramifications the saudi arabia on the world stage for the al-jazeera istanbul. where jamal michel is live for us outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and so hearing from u.s. president trump seemingly harsh words vowing punishment but tell us what else has
7:06 pm
been happening on the diplomatic front. well it seems that circuit is getting some sort of momentum in terms of criticism and condemnation coming from world leaders obviously those laws latest statements from president trump where he as you mentioned they're valid strong punishments if indeed it is established that the saudis killed jamal such actually in the consulate in the past couple of hours we've heard from the turkish foreign minister speaking in london where he expressed frustration at the fact that the saudis have not been cooperating with the turks in this investigation what we know in terms of the what the turks would like to see from the saudis in terms of the cooperation at least some of what we know is that they would like access to the consulates behind me as well as the consul general's house and several vehicles that are registered to the saudi diplomatic mission here in istanbul obviously according to the vienna agreements which is what's governs
7:07 pm
the way in which consulates and difficult diplomatic missions are treated around the world host nation cannot enter those buildings without the explicit approval of the country itself and therefore this is in it's based on that refusal so far or lack of acceptance let's say from the saudis that the turks and their investigators forensic experts and police haven't been able to enter that is on the kind of criminal side of things to move back into the diplomatic front of it as we heard there in charles's piece the saudi king king said a man sent prince kind of the face of the governor of mexico one of his most senior and trusted advisors to truckee he headed up this saudi delegation which was meant to form this joint work force he arrived in ankara interesting enough in istanbul and he went to meets with the presidents presidents read up so you know and then the fact that he himself is a politician he is not a forensic expert he's not a police constable or lieutenants or somebody with
7:08 pm
a criminology background the fact that he is the one who can some months old shows that they are looking at this the saudi. that is from a diplomatic perspective they are putting a lot of effort in trying to find a political solution to this also interesting enough that it was somebody from king solomon's a that's what sense i'm not squirm prince muhammad been some the president has essentially been the de facto leader so to speak of saudi arabia over the past couple of years or whenever there's been a high profile foreign visit has been either been some have been some of the crown prince or his aides that have been going so those occasions that we're getting from the makeup is giving us an idea of how things are going albeit very slowly behind the scenes thank you very much for now jamal a shell there in istanbul. rescue teams are continuing to pick through rubble caused by
7:09 pm
a landslide in eastern new ganda searching for survivors and victims of the disaster at least forty one people died when a river bust its banks on thursday sending mud and debris down a hillside in but due to reach and host of the border with kenya many of those killed at a market which was buried malcolm webb has more from but due to air in the eastern region of you candy. a landslide came down this river started further upstream and survivors say they saw an enormous quantity of rocks boulders. trees and water crashing down the course of the river they came through several villages along the riverbank here this whole area of mud was houses and shops completely destroyed and washed away this tree trunk kind of dead that came crashing down smashing through people's homes rescue workers trying to find any survivors but the large part is only found bodies of those who died some of them

much further downstream others buried in the mud but it's almost impossible to know exactly how many people are missing i was rushing to and they would actually house back to you unfortunately i saw a lot of understands coming from up from the. so i was only able to do the house so i used to be as beside the road and i saw what was up to me here in the foothills around mt house on the slopes a very steep but almost all of the villages here depend on subsistence farming to survive the population steadily growing that means people need to cut back trees and registration to make space to grow their crops that makes the fragile slopes steeper and so landslides like this keep happening in twenty ten about one hundred people were killed in a landslide near here dozens more were killed in twenty twelve and every year there are a small landslides people are often injured or killed the government has tried to

7:13 pm
scores of former catholic school students who say they were abused by priests his case from the age of six. i never thought they would touch the hierarchy of the church much less bring in a cardinal to testify it's an achievement just to know that a prosecutor has dared touch him. the cardinal is the most prominent casualty in the widest clerical sex abuse investigation in latin america the world's most catholic region the cardinals right hand man father munoz is under house arrest awaiting trial for rape and six abuse. i never thought i would see the church's chancellor handcuffed for abusing five children three of them his own nephew it's despicable. in the past few months public prosecutors have raided church offices in five cities uncovering evidence of abuses that will never reported to
7:14 pm
authorities they've identified one hundred seventy eight victims seventy nine of the miners and charged one hundred sixty seven members of the clergy of carrying out or covering up abuses. among them are seven bishops the current archbishop of santiago and his predecessor cardinal. 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 his bowling terribly providing evidence or information and we're still waiting for the vatican to send the information we requested so we haven't seen an attitude of 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
7:15 pm
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. so i have for you on the program an ongoing tragedy in greece as tens of thousands face on sanitary conditions in overcrowded refugee camps while in germany we explain why a green surge could see the posse make significant gains in some of the country's most conservative areas.

a wide range of groups including pro refugee gay rights and muslim organizations are backing the protest it's been organized as a counter-rally against right wing groups who've been holding demonstrations across germany over the past few months some of which have turned violent and of course immigration is a key issue for voters in the german state of bavaria as they head to the polls on sunday to elect a new regional parliament a survey suggests an increasing number of people are rejecting the rhetoric of the right and that the centrist green policy is becoming more popular dominant came reports from bavaria. it's farmers market day in hark in or by on on this autumn morning the election is on people's minds the local green candidate is on the campaign trail but her party is in buoyant mood you did tells me she and her colleagues offer hope for a tolerant multicultural future we're growing ever more into a globalized village and you need to make sure that we're not neglecting local
7:21 pm
people and local society and nature over interests that may be the other end of it and i think this election will breathe new life into democracy in the very in germany and europe and make democracy great again it's a sign of how confident the green party and its candidates are in this election that they're campaigning strongly in areas like this one traditionally seen as hard lines for the governing christi and social union while the c.s.u. finds itself having to fight hard to hold on to places it used to win easily. which explains why it's in battle the prime minister is talking tough on immigration and on policing amid the band's beer and plates at a last election rally marcus spells out why voters machine the greens and vote c.s.u. . the greens stand for an ideological binding culture and i say i do not want that i want to remain the free state instead of becoming a binding state and that's why i say this program of the greens is very far away
7:22 pm
from the c.s.u. with this program there can be no coalition. but by attacking other party's policies some analysts suggest the c.s.u. is tacitly accepting some of the unpopular voters are third up with how you know you always try your overthe pretend but you never make it worth about that up with if you want someone to deliver proper government opinion polls suggest where once the c.s.u. is supported by almost half the voters now barely more than a third to one in five people say they support the greens a little more than one in ten back the social democrats we have talking about the issues that really aren't going on in everybody's life for example is so expensive and this is the top issue for france but the polls suggest more voters preferred different message leaving the distinct possibility the greens will force their way
7:23 pm
into a coalition you did says her party is ready for that but all the voters will find out on sunday evening dominick cain al-jazeera hard in by own. thousands of people have marched in paris demanding world leaders do more to address climate change this is the second largest climate rally in the city this month it comes as recent reports a few countries are meeting targets of the twenty fifteen paris climber's agreement for a juicing emissions and pollution rates well now in greece there's concern over the cost of supporting the sixty thousand refugees and migrants in the country the european union in theory covers seventy to eighty percent of cost but a government whistleblower has told al-jazeera that many expenses might not be eligible for grants and the taxpayer might have to pick up the bill johnson reports now from a refugee camp and last boss. this is how asylum seekers do their laundry inside
7:24 pm
moria camp on the greek island of lesbos this waste water has become the subject of an intense political battle the nearest sewage treatment plant to moria is four kilometers away there's no pipeline connecting the camp to it so tanker trucks shuttled back and forth it's one of a number of services now part of a lawsuit launched by the head of the reception and identification service which runs moria and other camps and the last spoke to al jazeera about why he's blowing the whistle on migration related contracts and so-called fast track funding the publisher cover fears about what i can go directly to interested parties i can come to you and make a deal without revealing too much information to others fast track funding began in twenty fifteen at the height of the refugee crisis but openness believes it's harder to justify now the government applies for you money after it's already awarded contracts for work and services and it could be months before it finds out
7:25 pm
if the e.u. is going to pay when a particular expense is not selected for funding it through the to the state budget in our case it means when a funding request is rejected it's paid by greek taxpayers it's my impression that as some of the about ten million euros worth of funding claims may dismiss it is like catering sewage treatment and others al-jazeera has found fast track orders which bypass normal competitive bidding and design catering and housing contracts directly to individual companies and nongovernmental organizations these can involve substantial amounts of money this ten day contract to feed more than eight thousand people in moria is worth half a million dollars assigned directly to a local consortium it does not state where the money will come from and the greek taxpayer could end up with the bill in the last four years the european union has allocated one point eight billion dollars to greece in compensation for migration
7:26 pm
related costs. such as food sheltering and search and rescue what is unknown to the greek taxpayer is how much the government has spent through emergency procedures that aren't eligible for you funding and there are hidden costs to this way of doing business the regional governor says she's been asking for moria to be connected to the sewage treatment plant for two years. not connecting morea to it leads to the sewage being dumped in the surrounding dry river beds we have been forced in the interests of public health and the environment to impose fines of fifty thousand and eighty thousand euros on the migration ministry because the water table is being contaminated the ultimate cost though is borne by the asylum seekers themselves it is they who have to live with the smell of dumped sewage and are forced to eat meals produced without any guidelines allowing caterers to expand profit margins at the expense of quality jumpstart ople us morea. well now
7:27 pm

of stay in the tents is about a month that's in addition to time spent in traditional stone and brick shelters across the country these are the kids who were moved out of those shelters as their populations swelled beyond capacity right now we have approximately thirteen thousand children in our care this year is the third largest number of children who have crossed the border unaccompanied and come into our our custody but it's not just that more kids are coming to the zero tolerance policy of separating children from their parents contributed to the strain in fewer relatives in the u.s. have cleared background checks to receive children in their homes some fearing their own deportation under the trump and ministrations immigration crackdown it happens that both from union members probably are on the comment that in the from the country they don't have legal status in in the method to undocumented people in the united states right now is that they going to be deported they become forward
7:30 pm
so people who suffer a day that if they come in they have their name the address the sponsor one of the children they probably have in that they are going to end up deported that leaves these kids in limbo living in the desert and wondering how much longer they'll stay . castro al-jazeera torneo texas. is a quick look at the top stories for you this hour now the u.s. president donald trump has vowed to punish saudi arabia severely if it's found to be behind the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi turkish still says they could show she was murdered inside the saudi embassy in istanbul which riyadh strongly denies there's a lot of stake and. maybe especially so because this man was a reporter there's something you'll be surprised to see that there's something really terrible disgusting about that if that were the case so we're going to have
