release will be a tremendous step in the relationship between washington and ankara but of course all of this is taking place in the wider context of the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi also made a few comments about that as well saying that he will probably be speaking to king solomon of saudi arabia either tonight or tomorrow let's now speech because he is outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and we were hearing just that jamal president trump echoing comments he made an in an interview earlier on saying that arguing that essentially saudi arabia should not be penalized through any on deals or military sales and that there is other punitive action the u.s.

can take if indeed it is proven that they murdered jamal khashoggi. well it seems that donald trump is trying to essentially have his cake and eat it's on the one hand he's coming down a hard saying that there will be strong punishment and strong reaction if indeed it is proven as he sees that saudi arabia assassinated jamal khashoggi and on the other hand he's ruling doubts what's with hurts the saudis the most i.e. these canceling the military deals that saudis are heavily depends on considering it is stuck in this quagmire in yemen and is unable to settle the war there but the u.s. president is currently. going through maybe a good phase or period for him with the release of pasta brunson with him coming out saying that you know what makes the disappearance or the legit assassination of jamal which actually so bad is that he is a journalist trying to appease to

a media corps that has been extremely critical for or towards the president because of menu of the decisions he's made in that is something that is. we should be bearing in mind but obviously as far as turkey is concerned having president donald trump of the united states president come out at least publicly and say that they need answers that he will be speaking to that there will be retribution if established that riyadh sent this fifteen man hit squad to take out which actually for the turks that is going to give them a boost in confidence for them to demand cooperation from the saudis which has so far not been coming as quickly and as willfully as they would have liked but we also see efforts perhaps on takis part to not completely destroy its diplomatic relationship with the saudis tell us more about developments on the diplomatic front. of course i mean from a political diplomatic side the turks have tried to play this cautiously for want

of a better word for months that started some at least this is a crisis that has been forced upon them in the sense that. the consulate in istanbul he disappeared it's not their responsibility obviously it is the saudis responsibility but this by the fact that the onus is on riyadh to. divulge information as to what happened to actually the saudis rather the turks have been trying to play this diplomatic route by not officially announcing the findings of their investigation which is namely been that they believe she was assassinated in the hope that the saudis would play ball or at least be a bit more as i say forthcoming or willing in their cooperation that hasn't happened and that's why we've heard from the turkish foreign minister once again in the past few hours at least. at least none that in saudi arabia must cooperate and allow access far chief prosecutor is

a face and expects to enter to saudi cancel it where did it is appear there in the consulate there for that is sake of disinvest occasion in order to bring everything out in the open they must allow access to to come so that we haven't seen any collaboration yet we want to see that our team must be allowed to enter the consulate saudi arabia needs to cooperate with us on this matter. so this is another time that a turkish officials come out and expressed his country's frustration at the lack of cooperation from the saudis the saudis have sent a month's top advisor to meet with the president he has we'll see what's going to come out of these discussions in the next couple of days thank you very much for the latest from istanbul jim. and mike hanna is live for us in washington joins us now and michael hearing from president earlier very much boss king in the triumph of pastor andrew bronson's release from turkey might this signal a shift in the relationship between washington and current now well it's

a relationship that has been going off the rails in particular the continued detention of andrew bronson however we heard there from president trump saying that this could actually switch things around that this could improve the relationship between the u.s. and turkey saying too that the number of people that he has managed to release is a scion of how effective his administration has been making clear that he's claiming credit for not only the release of pastor bronson but a number of other people who've been released from other countries but president trump also making no indication when or whether the sanctions that were imposed against turkey because of the detention of andrew branson will be lifted however from the tone of what he was saying there it would appear that these sanctions may now be reversed remembering though that there are still a number of u.s. citizens being held on various charges within turkey. we know that turkey and the

u.s. are dealing with a number of other challenges as well the war in syria is one but we seem to have the recent crisis now of the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi president trump has been making comments about that and he seems to be backing away from drawing any conclusions or taking any action too quickly against the saudis. well president trump is walking a tightrope in a way we heard him say that he's reluctant to impose any form of economic sanction or economic punishment should indeed saudi arabia is shown to be complicit in her. disappearance at the same time he's saying that he will be some form of punishment the u.s. will react strongly but underlying all of this is congress and the senate in particular which has sent a letter to president trump invoking them against the act this act deals with human

rights violations by other countries and in particular it makes clear in that letter that no matter how high up the train it may be in the saudi arabian government that if saudi is involved there must be punishment so president trump is facing a bipartisan call from congress for action to be taken at the same time we're hearing that he is reluctant to take any form of strong economic sanction but clearly he's being driven between two forces here his friendship as he puts it with saudi arabia the desire for greater economic involvement and pressure from a bipartisan congress insisting that something be done all right for now thank you very much with all the latest from washington mike hanna we'll talk if sources have been saying that they have to if the veteran saudi journalist was knighted inside the compound turkey says its claim is based on a recording from the apple watch to show she was wearing when he entered the consulate charles stratford explains. pro-government turkish media say it has proof

that jamal khashoggi 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 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 audioboo 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 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. at al-jazeera istanbul. oh challenges there are live from london a quick recap of the top stories u.s. president donald trump is about to punish saudi arabia's severely if it's found to be behind the disappearance of jamal khashoggi turkish sources say the journalist was murdered inside the saudi embassy in istanbul which riyadh strongly denies. meanwhile an american pastor released after two years in detention in turkey has met with trump at the oval office off to arriving back home in his country andrew bronson was held in a turkish prison amid accusations of complicity in a failed attack a coup attempt in two thousand and sixty. well in all the stories we're covering at least eleven people have been killed in twin explosions in somalia the blast happened in the southern city of by doa though reports that a suicide bomber detonated a bomb in the middle of a restaurant and a grenade attack struck and

a nearby hotel when our rescue teams are continuing to pick through rubble caused by a landslide in east and uganda searching for survivors and victims of the disaster at least forty one people died when a river banks on thursday sending modern debra down a hillside in but due to reach and close to the border with kenya any of those killed were at a market which was buried malcolm webb has more from were due to in the eastern region of uganda. 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 be said the road and i saw what was up to me here in the foothills around mt howes 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 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

through small landslides people are often injured or killed the government has tried to resettle people from these risk areas but they haven't succeeded so news from afghanistan now where an explosion at an election rally has killed at least fourteen people thirty others were injured in the blast in the north east province of takar explosives were attached to a motorcycle it's the latest in a series of attacks on rallies ahead of a parliamentary election next saturday well in yemen at least seventeen people including several women have been killed in an air strike by the saudi amorality coalition jets bombed an area south of the rebel held port city if the data is the rebels say a bus carrying people displaced by fighting was hit the area has been the focus of several battles in recent months or separate is controlling agents international airports in yemen are refusing to let the state refuel or maintain its aircraft that. flights will now need to make a detour their neighbor in djibouti and its myth reports from that. it's more

cardinals and bishops on latin america at its release in human reports from santiago. earlier this month the highest ranking member of chile's catholic church cardinal got abilities sati was indicted and brought before the public prosecutor for allegedly covering up cases of clerical sex abuse. thirty eight year old son couldn't believe his eyes he's one of 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 did 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. 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. this is 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 is

voluntarily 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. real 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 caused such an immediate outcry that the archdiocese was forced to remove the manual from its web page and apologized 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 the

difficult access it's difficult for many reasons it's difficult obviously for the insecurity and the ongoing violence but we've also had people moving into what we call the forests which are usually their their their land where they're being you know cultivating and i think these are the people were most worried about because they're the most inaccessible. army soldiers and secessionists fighters are accused of targeting civilians and committing human rights atrocities in the rebellion cameron's government leaders say they want to give in to demands for independence but are open to talks as far as the marginalization is kosher. the government is open. provided did both. there are a very. different course to do sure. john doesn't know when the fighting will end or what the result will be but he knows he doesn't want to see more of what he
