9:00 pm
and then abandon us politicians have promised that they won't allow a repeat of what happened after the earthquake in one thousand eight hundred five but the cost complexity of hundreds of people living in camps is a major task and one that many people here think the government failed. hello and welcome to the al-jazeera news hour live from my headquarters in doha with me in his book coming up in the next sixty minutes there's a lot of and. especially so because this man was a reporter he was president donald trump says there will be severe punishment if saudi arabia is behind the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. the turkish
9:01 pm
government says saudi arabia is not cooperating in the probe and seeking immediate access to the saudi consulate when she was last seen. morning in uganda after a landslide flattens the villages killing dozens of people. have all your supporters tyrian re secures he's first managerial role the former france and also the new head coach of monaco later in the program. it's been eleven days since sol the journalist jamal khashoggi was last seen entering the saudi consulate in istanbul and since then reports have emerged of his alleged torture and murder inside the compound ties between regional powers turkey and saudi arabia have come under strain is now accusing sally of. cooperation with
9:02 pm
a joint investigation into the case of the missing journalist is a leak there. is none that i'm so dear abia must cooperate and allow access for our chief prosecutor's office and experts to enter to saudi cancelbot where did it is appear there in the consulate therefore that is sake of this investigation in order to bring everything out in the open they must allow access today comes of it we haven't seen any collaboration that we want to see that our team be allowed to enter to consider it saudi arabia needs to cooperate with us on this matter. but so far despite a global condemnation of saudi arabia its main ally the u.s. has been cautious and pinning any blame us president says imposing sanctions on the biggest buyer of american weapons is not an option but is valid severe punishment of saudi involvement as proven there's a lot at stake and maybe especially so because this man was
9:03 pm
a reporter there's something you'll be surprised to me say that there's something really terrible in disgusting 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 or shortly we'll get the latest on the investigation with. but first let's go to mike hanna he is live in washington d.c. so what do we make mike of president trauma's comments you know how much can we read into them given he says severe punishment but not sanctions. well there is a degree of ambivalence there president trump saying that but also making very clear that he's not interested or does not want to indulge in any form of sanction should saudi complicity be proven in the case of jamal khashoggi but certainly what we've got here is a president making very clear that he doesn't want to disrupt the arms deal that he claims he made one hundred ten billion dollars worth this is not strictly correct
9:04 pm
either the figures probably ten percent of the set the moment and the store congressional and state department to prove all to come even for that tiny portion of what president trump is talking about but what the president also faces as well is a senate that has sent him a letter democrats and senate republican members of the judiciary committee of the senate have sent him a letter invoking the begin skee act now this deals with accountability for human rights violations it's a gives the president essentially one hundred twenty days to decide what action to take what form of sanction to exercise should saudi complicity be proven and so there is pressure then as you're saying mike from the political establishment from business leaders as well why is president trump so reluctant do you think. to be more critical of of the saudi leadership right now. well president trump
9:05 pm
says that he is waiting for the facts to show themselves he insists it will be more information coming that there will be an end to the investigation of what happened to jamal khashoggi at the same time though he has always praised saudi arabia as one of his closest friends and allies remembering it was the first foreign trip that he paid following his inauguration as president so certainly much of trump's administration is legacy so far has been tied up with salvi arabia that massive arms deal that he claimed he brokered very much he sees as a strong part of his ministrations successes in the past eighteen months but certainly there is a degree of difficulty for president trump in this because of that pressure coming from congress in particular president trampas delta generally with a republican dominated congress with which senators and congressmen and women have
9:06 pm
basically followed what he wants however now he is dealing with a bipartisan issue in which members both of congress of the house of representatives are not the senate have made very clear that they want action to be taken strong action to be taken and in particular they want some form of sanction to be exercised should the complicity be proven mike thank you very much that is mike hanna live in washington d.c. let's go to our now he is live for eyes in istanbul twenty four hours ago the saudi delegation had arrived an encore and they were saying that they have complete confidence in the turks and this joint investigation and we've heard from the turkish foreign minister now frustrated with the saudis because they are saying that they're not cooperating. well indeed i mean it seems that the saudis are trying to spin this more than they are actually trying to find
9:07 pm
a solution to this or at least that's if we are to believe what the turks are saying through their foreign minister as you heard in the beginning of the program there elizabeth he has been extremely fierce and. sorry frustrated rather as has his government about the lack of cooperation that they have been receiving or at least on the saudis have been demonstrating and not main lack of cooperation at least from what we understand publicly has been a refusal to grant access to turkish forensic experts as well as invent police investigators to enter the consulate behind me to enter the consul general's home where it is believed or based on actually traffic camera footage that the turks have released one of the blacked out vehicles drove a van drove through the consul's house just two hours after german officials she entered and was parked out the the consul general's house from inside for quite a long time before it disappeared in the streets of istanbul so they've been frustrated that they haven't been given access to that obviously all of this
9:08 pm
frustration is on one side and it seems that there is a lot of discussions taking place behind closed doors politically speaking but their votes will be in developments in terms of the information that the turks have been leaking through the press here is tall structure it with more. 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 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
9:09 pm
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 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 audio evidence saudi arabia has called the allegations a baseless lies or friday the kingdom to spanish king solomon's top advisor prince khalid al faisal who met the turkish president received over to want 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 released that some sources in the
9:10 pm
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 diplomatic issue with huge ramifications for saudi arabia on the world stage. a stumble. now dulled hard as a board member of the international press institute and he says there are ongoing attacks against independent journalism well we are worried about the chilling effect that all these disappearances and killings and imprisonment have you know general 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 that the journalism are the enemies of the people that kind of music to their ears
9:11 pm
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 bits out of 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 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
9:12 pm
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. well let's get more on this joined by rami crew a senior fellow at the american university of beirut and he's joining us live from boston mr corey always good to have you with eyes on al-jazeera i do want to get to what you've been writing about this and the fallout in the u.s. but before we do let's start with the investigation and the nation's lines in the turkish frustration with the saudis which we have seen for the eleven days since g.'s disappearance what do you make all of this investigation so far what we know of it that is all we know is really what
9:13 pm
we've heard from the turkish authorities and most of that has been leaked anonymously to the media so we have to judge it carefully and this so it is a denied everything so you know neither the turks nor the saudis have an impeccable record of of honesty clarity transparency and you know total openness these kinds of issues but i would put a little bit more faith in what the turks say than what the saudis say right now but we still have to wait for the final habitants of the so it is as the turks say and not cooperating with us that's a pretty bad sign for the position of the saudi government and what about the impact that this is going to have on turkish saudi relations and also sell the u.s. relations because all of these have an effect on the whole region.
9:14 pm
once we know the facts and this is going to take some time not too long but i would guess within the couple of next couple of weeks we should know exactly what happened the facts will determine the nature of the consequences turkey and saudi arabia are two of the biggest anchors of ideological power and economic movements across the whole middle east the arab world and the non arab middle east israel and iran are the other two big ones so if turkey and saudi arabia get into. an ideological boxing match everybody in the region is going to feel it i think the consequences are enormous for every dimension of life in this region if the saudis are shown clearly to be responsible for the abduction and or killing whether accidental or intentional of your mouth which you agree the consequences will affect political relations military relations can amik relations ideological
9:15 pm
movements social movements virtually every aspect of life across the whole region is going to be impacted because the so it is them the turks. as well as the iranians but in this case the saudis and the turks are the two countries that have probably the widest set of strategic and meaningful links across the entire arab world so that we'll just have to wait and see what happens we might be on the verge of a serious reordering of the geo strategic relationships among major players in the region and of course the united states is response to this is going to be important but so far the united states since the trumpet ministration took office so far they have responded with a combination of inconsistency yeah and ambiguity that is really troubling but we should probably not expect very much from the u.s. and that is from the trump administration at. self but you've been writing about
9:16 pm
the fallout in the us from you know from people and i know that you've both been pleasantly surprised by the reaction also frustrated that it's taken such an allegedly terrible act on a high profile figure to draw criticism of a regime that well behaved this way domestically all the time. yes so we have two things here at play you have one non-governmental responses in the u.s. and in europe and all around the world so private companies media civil society groups all of them are really pushing and then the congress as well in the u.s. some members of congress are really pushing hard against the saudis demanding that they come clean with the with the truth so this is quite significant because it could in fact erode some of the presidential power that trump prize and largely misuses around the middle east the second more important question on the long run is if all of this reaction of governments or non governments against the saudis
9:17 pm
because of what they apparently or allegedly have done in the situation if all of this reaction is mainly about how much been said man and jamal khashoggi and the rest of the middle east trends the arab world order craddick legacy of tens of thousands tens of thousands of arab men and women who are in jail or exiled or tortured or indicted and using legal primacy as this is the real problem all the arab governments virtually do anything they want with their citizens they put them in jail they deny them work sometimes they take away their citizenship mostly based on elements in their laws and constitutions that are wildly unfair and so broad and general that they could accuse a pigeon of being a security threat if it lands on the wrong piece of wood on the beach i mean it's they just think any citizen of this say this person is a security threat because of their views of that process of widespread continuing
9:18 pm
deep autocracy and abuse of power across the arab world is not addressed that the death for a man who killed three will be doubly tragic because of his death and because nothing was done about the underlying trends and because he was of course trying to highlight these things in the arab world mr crow it's always good to get your perspective that as rami crewing joining us live from boston thank you. we do have plenty more ahead on the news al and clothing new attempts to reignite peace talks with the afghan taleban as yet another campaign around these targeted. a university degree is almost always an asset twenty looking for a job but we'll tell you why palestine is an exception and it just wasn't roger federer's day in shanghai peyton will be here with the details and so forth.
9:19 pm
and american pasta has landed in the u.s. often being released by a turkish coach on friday after touching down in madden brunson as head into the oval office to meet president trump trump says no deal was made for bronson's release but thanked president at the end for his help bronson spent two years and custody accused of espionage well earlier i spoke to matthew brize a senior fellow at the atlantic council and he says bronson's from these will provide political victories for both trump and at the one there are still some very difficult questions the u.s. turkey agenda having to do with fines and potential criminal prosecution of the state being called 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
9:20 pm
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 freed the obstacles removed and sure gets to. to get back to work in the u.s. turkey agenda i 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 they're a big important voter voting bloc i think president trump has energized that part
9:21 pm
of his base now by. saying he secured pastor brunson'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 at least eleven people have been killed and twenty explosions and somalia blasts happened in the southern city of by the law there are reports that suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a hotel and restaurant now rescue teams in eastern uganda searching for bodies after a landslide killed at least forty one people of a burst its banks on thursday sending mond and debris down a hillside in the region close to the border with kenya many of those killed were at a market which was buried malcolm webb has more. 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
9:22 pm
several villages along the river banks here this whole area of mud was houses and shops completely destroyed and washed away this tree trunk kind of debris 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 it was raining i was rushing to endanger the tea house back to you unfortunately i saw a lot of understands coming from from the mondale. so i was only able to get to the house so i stood still b.s. beside the road and i saw what was up here me here in the foothills around mt helens on the slopes are very steep and 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 vegetation to make space to grow their crops that makes the fragile slopes steeper it's a landslide 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 small landslides people are often injured or killed the government has tried to resettle people from these risk areas but they haven't succeeded. israeli police are investigating investigating the death of a palestinian woman after her husband said israeli settler spell to stop a funerals being held for forty eight year old. list. going with her husband through the occupied west bank says the mother of eight was struck in the head and died in hospital and funerals have also been held for the seven palestinian

9:26 pm
that would make me financially independent even my dreams are no longer big. the minister of education cites many factors for the high unemployment rate among palestine's most educated youth he says above all the israeli occupation limits opportunities and people aren't being steered into the vocational jobs that are available there leaves the real truth is that it has to be an emphasis on technical to be crucial in promotion of and on specific disciplines the core of badly needed in the palestinian lot of the curriculum is being adapted and of the minister of education says there's a slow shift away from the mindset that only jobs such as engineering and law are suitable but graduates such as how mad and expect a lifetime of crushed hopes if they stay in their homeland they are among the twenty four percent of palestinian youth who see emigration as their only viable

9:42 pm
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 from the c.s.u. with this programme there can be no coalition but by attacking other party's policies some analysts suggest the c.s.u. is tacitly accepting some of their unpopular voters are third up with a you know you always try you all with pretend but you never make it 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 talking about the issues they have to be. going on in everybody's life we examine housing is so expensive

who is watching this for us from washington d.c. president trump thanking mike president ed of the one for his help in securing pastor bronson's release this is of course despite president ed the one saying well he has you know no influence on the judiciary however this was a really important moment for president because his pastor bronson's release was a sort of a key foreign policy objective for the strumpet ministration watched the president really stressed in and his address. well indeed yes president tran making that very clear claiming credit for this release and claiming credit for a number of other releases he says have seen affected by his administration not failing to make a partisan point that previous administrations he said failed at these attempts that was left to him the issue of brunson he said had been inherited by his
9:51 pm
administration president trump though had an added to interest in this large part of his support base is evangelical christians pastor brunson of course is one of those very important to president trump for that base to be seen to be doing everything he can to secure andrew bronson's release particularly in terms of those midterm elections coming up within the next month or so the president making very clear that this was a long concerted campaign we did hear though as you mentioned from the turkish president to one making very clear that this was a decision of the court that the court ordered the release of andrew bronson after having sentenced him to three years but ordered his release on time served president trump also tweeting in the course of the day that there was no deal behind the scenes that this decision had been taken by turkey and he welcomed it
9:52 pm
thanking very much president earlier one but the key point here is that this is being a bitter diplomatic spat for a long period of time the u.s. imposing sanctions at one particular point so certainly this perhaps leading to better relations between turkey and the u.s. and importantly of course allowing all to focus on the disappearance of a journalist jamal khashoggi mike thank you very much for that is mike hanna live in washington d.c. right it is time for sports now peter elizabeth thank you very much former world cup winner therion really has been appointed as the new head coach. french league side monaco the frenchman started he's playing korea at monaco before moving to events and then arsenal weary spent eight years this is on rees first big managerial role having served as belgium's assistant coach at the world cup he has signed a three year contract and replaces leonardo's your d.m. who was sacked on thursday french authorities are investigating whether

9:56 pm
speaking about the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi chain that specimen his fiance we've invited her so we're she actually wrote a letter to myself on the first lady. and a beautiful letter and we have invited her and i believe they're working it out where she'll become their love to have her a great news where it wouldn't even be necessary but at this point it's looking like it's looking like. he perhaps will be or is it duran around and that's very sad i think we would have known by now that was our first hope but first the hope was that he was not killed by but maybe that's. not looking and is not looking too good right from what we hear a lot still to learn i think respect is a lot to learn there really strict because. i was interested in turkey the other u.s. citizen three employees of u.s. consulates in turkey lebanon surveyed as you speak we are working on that and by the way and by the way other people that are in prisons and other countries other
9:57 pm
than turkey we have other people that have been there for many years we've done very well we actually have at least eighteen and the eighteen were people that they said would never ever be freed and by the way pastor brunson was one of them. we were talking before how many years was it you couldn't say the number you told me it's a very scary number but they want to thirty. if they have to they want to have a job for thirty five years. so. you know we have many people throughout the world you know the countries and we're working very hard to screw all of those who were converted or if you take care of that situation i think. it's what it is you know see what happened we have to see what happened as james said out which. really best to let's to terminate what happened first there's
9:58 pm
plenty of things we can do that are very tough let's see what happened for. you. have you seen the video or are you were not are you saying that it is for that i've not seen it and i mean i've heard we've all heard a lot about the audio nobody's seen it yet so we do want to see it i guess it's a combination of seeing it and hearing it and maybe a lot can be u.f.o.'s or yes we're going to be seeing adverse impacts systematic a . you know i have a family i have spoken to many times about this but i haven't called him yet i will be i will and i'll be kit i will be also calling king solomon of saudi arabia because i think it's appropriate for me to ask him what is going on you probably. tonight or tomorrow. they still go ahead as for a laugh now. for a time we don't we don't know much. but i would like to say something someone asked
9:59 pm
before but other. american prisoners in turkey and i know that from dealing with the consulate there now they've been very involved with us excellent consulate stuff there and martin film and it's clear. that. they weren't only engaging for me it's very good for everyone there so it's good. i know this just from talking with the consulate staff when they would come to this person that they were involved very much i'm not advocating for the other prisoners. when i have to say with respect to turkey or saudi arabia when you look at what's going on in iraq and at other places it's really bad it is really bad there are a lot of bad things going on in that part of the world and frankly in other parts of the world so many other questions. there.
10:00 pm
well they're tending not to take them they are tending not to take them out of our administration and that's good i like them and i think i could tell you why but i won't but they tend not to take them out of power that been stray sions and you know what it's going to stay that way because. if. you. fight me things i did i thought she was fantastic i thought the first lady was fantastic list tonight i hope i do as well and sixty minutes tomorrow. well but that's ok. secretary. what do you think about this i think we need to continue to evaluate the facts and will make that decision that's i talked with sector mention about it last night i will be taking a look at through us through the rest of the week mr president and the reason for the future ferguson very. well we were very tough on turkey and we'll take a look there was absolutely no deal.
