8:01 pm
a new attempt to reignite peace talks with the afghan taliban as yet another campaign rallies targeted. u.s. president has vowed that saudi arabia will face severe punishment of the kingdom is behind the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi he was last seen walking into the saw the consulate in turkey eleven days ago to his sources say they have proof that he was killed inside the compound now in an interview to be televised by the american news show sixty minutes trump explained why the stakes are so high. the journalist 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 being looked at very very strongly and we
8:02 pm
would be very upset and angry if that were the case as of this moment they deny it and the 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 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 on what well i'll write what i don't want to do boeing lockheed raytheon all these cars i don't want to hurt jobs
8:03 pm
i don't want to lose an order like that and you know there are other ways of. 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 is a lot of there's a lot at 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 and charles traffic has the latest from istanbul. 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 al-jazeera the watch was sinks to his phone which he left with his fiance who
8:04 pm
waited for him outside the watch can only record audioboo the recording so say turkish government sources is clear enough to establish the her soldier 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 of the details. but the technology is capable of creating a lot of time a tree 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 audioboo evidence saudi arabia has called the allegations a baseless lies or friday the kingdom dispatched king solomon's top advisor prince khalid al faisal who met the turkish president received over to want to try and
8:05 pm
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 released that some sources in the turkish government and the turkish media say proves he was murdered the turkish government has yet to release a formal statement on a crisis that is fast becoming a major deal. magic issue with huge ramifications the saudi arabia on the world stage. without a zero a stumble. let's go to our correspondent in washington d.c. now mike hanna is live for what should be make then mike off president trumps you know somewhat contradictory remarks about sixty minutes he is often and consistent in his stances and his comments. well on the face of it t's talking about
8:06 pm
punishment to saying that there will be a strong reaction should society be shown to be involved in the disappearance of the journalist or the other party saying he doesn't really like the idea of economic sanctions he makes reference to the arms deal that he claimed to have brokered last year with saudi arabia which he claims totals some one hundred ten billion dollars well the reality is that no such deal has been concluded the arms that have been provided to saudi arabia were mostly brokered during the farm era since meeting the figure is some four billion that the saudis have requested still to be approved and go through congress and be approved by the state department in terms of legislation what president trump's also dealing with is that bipartisan call from senate to invoke the begin to that is an act which governs human rights accountability in all parts of the world bipartisan group of senators sending
8:07 pm
a letter to president trump saying he must exercise ascensions in terms of this act should the saudi arabian volkmann to be proven president trump has one hundred twenty days in terms of bet particular legislation to make a decision one way or the other so president trump not only facing a problem with what he regards it would appear as a very close and very dear ally but he's also got pressure being exerted on him from congress and for the first time this is bipartisan pressure up until now president trump has basically ruled over both senate and the house because of the republican majority there what he's dealing with now is a congress that is bipartisan on this particular issue senators and congressmen and women on both sides of the aisle bringing pressure to bear on the administration and kim and that is considerable political pressure and he's also got a number of high profile business leaders and organizations that have been very
8:08 pm
critical of the saudi leadership even though he maintains that this relationship is good for business is he feeling the pressure mike. yes he is to an extent and perhaps that may be one of the reasons for this very rare interview with a network television station that is not fox news his preferred at the new his preferred choice of speaking in turn interview forms so certainly this could be a reaction to the pressure that he is feeling he does he is well aware that there needs to be a reaction one way or the other once the full facts of this are revealed as he said yes the facts are going to come out and he is then going to have to make a decision on what he treasures most of the relationship with his saudi allies and friends as he would put it or indeed the rafts of a congress bipartisan wrath of
8:09 pm
a congress we've had a republican senator lindsey graham saying that should no action be taken then the administration could face what he calls a bipartisan tsunami so certainly that pressure is there and certainly because of the interview given in the last twenty four hours it does appear that president trump is feeling it mike thank you very much for that is mike hanna live in washington d.c. now dollar groupon is a board member of the international press and sued and he says that g.'s disappearance draws attention to ongoing attacks against independent journalism. well there we are worried about the chilling effect that all these disappearances and killings and imprisonment have you know jamal is not known as an opposition figure is not known as being an activist he's known as a journalist i think leaders around the world especially autocratic leaders watch carefully the white house and the press president when the president of the us says
8:10 pm
that the journalism are the enemies of the people that kind of music to their ears and they feel that they get a green light or yellow light for america to do what they want on their own journey everybody's trying to find their way out there trying to find a way to save face to try to kind of explain this and certainly one way to do that would be to. keep mohamed bin cell man out of the picture and the king and try to find somebody to blame this problem on i think it's going to be very difficult because everybody knows how close mohamed was held man has been to the americans and how close he has been to. a position to the press critics around the world i've written to some of my friends in the washington post and asked them to dedicate the same space and time in that the germ out it was getting hopefully we can find him one day but if he is no longer around with us that the same space he
8:11 pm
was getting should be given to independent journalists from saudi arabia and the arab world to make sure that leaders around the world understand that by getting one person to disappear will not make the truth disappear and i think journalists there washington post new york times and other journalists around the world and other media outlets have a responsibility to make sure that the truth comes out and that people who have different opinions are allowed to speak their minds without having to worry about somebody making them disappear found a mountain pass that has landed in the u.s. after being released by a turkish court on friday after touching down a mountain antrel bronson's head into the oval office to meet president trump tom says no deal was made for bronson's release but fact turkish president range of five and alonso has helped france and spent two years in custody accused of espionage. let's move on to other news now and rescue teams in eastern uganda searching for bodies after a landslide killed at least forty one people ever burst its banks on thursday

8:15 pm
kabul. the talks between the u.s. and the taliban are quite significant a step forward but it does not this is only mean that we're going to see an end to violence in afghanistan any time soon the americans and the international community say there is 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 to mental for the three day cease fire that took place in june but then they stalled over differences between the taliban and the americans about. issues like the need to start a prisoner exchange remove some of the senior taliban leaders from the united nations blacklist for them to be able to travel or all over the world and also about how to move forward the taliban still in super they're not going to get engaged in any political talks less foreign troops pull out from afghanistan the
