5:00 am
this is al jazeera. alonzo raman this is the al-jazeera news our live wire headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes i think we would have known by now that was our first stop our first hope was that he was not killed. but maybe that's. not working is not looking to the u.s. president donald trump says he's not looking likely that missing journalist jamal khashoggi has been killed also an american evangelical pastor freed from jail in turkey gives his blessing to donald trump but what domestic political impact will his release have. also the search continues for the missing after
5:01 am
a landslide in uganda where at least forty one people have died. and a champion of el salvador's paul archbishop remeron is to be declared a saint by the catholic church thirty eight years after he was assassinated. welcome to the news u.s. president donald trump urs warned saudi arabia of severe punishment if it's found to be responsible for the disappearance of jamal. the saudi journalist who was last seen alive and showing his country's consulate in a stumble on the second of october the saudis deny plotting to kill kill shoji and say that he left the consulate but no evidence has been presented to back up this claim president trump says it's now looking likely that the journalist was killed.
5:02 am
now as of this moment nobody knows what happened as of this moment you know we're looking into it very seriously turkey is looking into it. at a very high level at the highest level at this point it's looking like it's looking like. he perhaps won't be or isn't around and that's very sad i think we would have known by now that was our first hope our first hope was that he was not killed but maybe that's. not looking and is not looking too good right from what we hear the law correspondent john hendren joins me now live from washington d.c. it seems that the message is getting stronger certainly from the white house but there is a caution return that in the potential action that the president could impose. that's right the president is really amped up his rhetoric in the past couple of days just today on saturday here local time he spoke to reporters before going to a rally in kentucky and he said
5:03 am
a couple of new things he said that he will call king solomon of saudi arabia within the next twenty four hours and demand some answers as to what actually happened in istanbul he also said that the u.s. is very involved in the investigation it's not clear whether that means there are u.s. officials on the ground or whether they're just being briefed by turkish officials but very involved suggests a higher degree of involvement than just being informed about it so there are a number of things that president trump could do he has already ruled out what is perhaps his strongest weapon and that would be to cancel a saudi arms sale that he values it one hundred ten billion dollars that was when he negotiated with king salmon on his first trip outside of the united states which he took to saudi arabia there are other things you could do the treasury secretary steve new chin is going to an investment conference that's known as davos in the desert that that is happening in riyadh a lot of companies have bailed out of that people from the new york times to have
5:04 am
said they don't want to participate now because of the quiz shows you disappearance he could also in an extreme measure could recall american diplomats from saudi arabia he could inject saudi diplomats from the united states so there's a broader array of things that he could do he was asked specifically what they were today what he was considering any declined to answer so what is a sort of mounting political pressure really isn't safe to do. that's right on capitol hill members of congress have demanded an investigation they want him to get some answers as to what actually happened here answers that go beyond talking to this saudis and they want potential sanctions if saudi officials are found to have been involved in an actual murder here so there are a number of things that he's being pressured by congress to do democrats also signed a letter twenty two senators saying they were disappointed in the state department's
5:05 am
response they were disappointed that the president appears to be just letting saudi arabia run this investigation and so there's pressure on capitol hill from people many of whom are running for re-election this november so well for the moment john of course follow up with you as things develop thank you know investigations continue in istanbul to determine what happened to jamal khashoggi but turkey's foreign minister says there's not going to be any cooperation from saudi arabia is a link there. other than saudi arabia must cooperate and allow access chief prosecutor is a face and expects to enter to saudi can so that wedded to does appear there in the consulate therefore that is sake of disinvest occasion in order to bring everything out in the open they must allow access to to comes of it we haven't seen any collaboration that we want to see that. be allowed to enter to consider that saudi arabia meets to cooperate with us on this matter. pro-government media in turkey
5:06 am
says officials have an audio recording of what happened when jamal khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate a real week ago troll stratford has moved 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 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 audiovisual 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
5:07 am
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 of 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
5:08 am
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. well demolished by al has more now from outside the saudi concert in istanbul. this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khalid and face on arriving in turkey on friday there's still be no statements about what exactly is the objective of this delegation and what they will try and achieve because there have been questions raised as to whether this is a political delegation trying to find a solution to this crisis with turkey or is it one as has been told to the media that is going to be part of the investigation and if so turkey already has said that it knows the results of this investigation it claims that it has the evidence
5:09 am
and has shared the evidence with the united states that actual she was assassinated in the consulate now on saturday turkey's foreign minister for another time expressed his government's frustration at the lack of cooperation from the saudis which is a surprise to some because it would have appeared that riyadh and ankara had reached some sort of program or workflow or an at least a basic agreement hence the arrival of this delegation however according to the foreign minister as well as other officials one of the main points of contention from the target is that they have still not been given access by the saudis to search and to inspect the. consulates behind me on top of that they would also like access to the consul general's home as well as several vehicles that are registered to the diplomatic mission here internationally speaking there's been word from donald trump he says that there will be a huge price to pay if indeed it is established that the saudis ordered the
5:10 am
assassination of john actually that is going to embolden turkey's position that has been the charts have been looking for some sort of international consensus in order to establish what they will do as a result of what they say is the killing of german officials should be eleven days have gone by since he entered the building not to come out ironically or interesting really enough such a day was to be the sixtieth birthday his. fiancee tweeted that she had planned for a surprise dinner for him she was going to invite some of his closest friends that's obviously hasn't happened and it's a stark reminder that away from the politics away from the diplomacy this is very much a human story about a journalist who went to the consulate's behind me never to be seen again best moment he is a professor of political science at the university of waterloo in canada joins me now via skype from toronto good to have you with us mr mani on i mean turkey is convinced the show she is dead many other capitals around the world saudi says that
5:11 am
they are baseless lies so one wonders how much of this is now a distraction in the terms of the war of words being used rather than the cooperation needed in a joint investigation that the global community wants to see while absolutely and frankly what adds to that of course is there is no body and without body without some sort of physical evidence it becomes very difficult to lay blame and to really carry out a proper investigation add to that the geo political elements of this and indeed i think we're seeing a lot of posturing and a lot of difficulty and moving investigation forward of course the reason this posturing and the geo political let's just talk about that because ties for example have been strained over a range of issues between riyadh and ankara such as issues over the muslim brotherhood the state of the palestinians under occupation and of course the differing relationship that those two countries have with the state of cattle which is under a saudi blockade for what nearly eighteen months now to name a few does
5:12 am
a joint team to investigate this does it bring them together or is this now just a cosmetic verbal issue. well it's difficult to understand whether or not this turkish saudi joint commission of some sort is meant to frankly ease over a potential political difficulty is that about a synchronize ation of frankly a narrative to put out it's really difficult to tell definitely i think we've seen even on the turks side they've been releasing information very very slowly at times conflicting at times it's not clear whether or not it's coming from official sources although one doubts with such a high profile case like this it wouldn't have some sort of frankly stamp of approval from the very highest levels but it does show you that i think unfortunately there may be a lot of backroom negotiations going on to smooth things over and that may come at
5:13 am
the compromise of finding out the truth it's interesting you talk about karoon negotiations because i wonder what you make of the release of pasta brunson for example it makes seem like quite a shrewd move by turkey to get the u.s. on side with any future investigation regarding the case how concerned will the saudis be of that development of turkey perhaps getting closer to the u.s. . well definitely the release of bronson will help mend some fractured ties that have been ongoing since the attempted coup inside turkey i would say that frankly brunson wasn't really worth it for the turks it was very costly in terms of sanctions put on them by the americans of course similarly the americans did not frankly succumb to the will of the turks in terms of releasing but i have learned are other people that they wanted to see come back to turkey for facing trial so i think that it's really just become a sore point and this really this brunson's release has really helped the americans
5:14 am
don't forget here vice president pence is very close to the eventual community where weeks away from a midterm election is vet playing very well in the united states to have brunson home so turkey wins on this and i think the americans probably give something in return that will take time to figure what that is but certainly there was backroom negotiations going on i mean you talk about sanctions the u.s. pressure on turkey because the turks are under a lot of economic pressure with a potentially volatile currency that's being shored up to a certain extent by tourism and in part that's been coming from saudi nationals it's a very important revenue stream for ankara and they wouldn't want that damaged at this moment in time. absolutely look turkey is in one of the worst economic situation since the early two thousand and one can't i think ignore the fact that the currency depreciation certainly the inflation situation and of norma's debt at the end of the day i should say turkey owes a great deal of money to
5:15 am
a lot of private banks it will eventually need to restructure and saudi arabia is going to be an important source we know of course qatar already committed about twelve to fifteen billion dollars but that's you know peanuts in the sense of what to turkey needs most nearly one hundred billion so there's a lot of need for regional actors investment from the gulf including saudi arabia but i think this is going to be a part of the backroom negotiations perhaps in terms of the narrative we're going to see i think many of us will be watching very closely what this joint task force comes up with indeed still early days i'm sure for the moment bess my money thanks so much for joining us from toronto thank you. plenty had here on the al-jazeera news hour including we explained how the green party could make significant gains in germany's most conservative state. also internally displaced english speakers from western cameroon find its own stranded in their own country afraid to go home . and in support of a shoemaker who wins another championship michael schumacher son make secures the
5:16 am
european formula three times all he said we'll have that story shortly. the american pastor freed by a turkish court has met president trump at the white house under bronson was released on friday after being held since the failed coup attempt in turkey in twenty sixteen what kind of has the story. andrew bronson arrives back in the united states just a day after he was sentenced to three years imprisonment by a turkish court but then released in recognition of time already served. he and his family were greeted by president trump at the white house the president saying he hopes the release signals the beginning of a better relationship with turkey we feel much different about turkey today than we did yesterday. and i think we have a chance of really becoming much closer to check in maybe even even having
5:17 am
a very very good relationship we know the people and is the pastor said these are incredible people the people of turkey are incredible people and i think we have a chance now to really have a great relationship with turkey i hope that it's ok earlier president trump tweeted that there'd be no form of concession by the united states there was no deal made with turkey for the release and return of pastor andrew branson i don't make deals for hostages he said there was however great appreciation on behalf of the united states which will lead to good perhaps great relations between the united states and turkey. and in a burst of twitter diplomacy the turkish president made clear the release was not a response to u.s. pressure. the turkish judiciary reached its decision independently says president at a one i hope that the united states and turkey will continue their cooperation as the allies that they are and fight against terrorist groups. no indication yet as to
5:18 am
when or whether the sanctions imposed by the u.s. in retaliation for the pastor's detention will be lifted but the meeting ended in a prayer for president trump to go see you will be hoping for governess support among evangelical christians in the moving the term elections mike hanna al-jazeera washington. it's a us political analyst on public policy professor at george mason university he thinks sandra bronson's release will galvanize conservative christians to vote it's republican in the upcoming midterm elections this was a play to sew up and inspire the votes of christian evangelicals of conservative christians who who did vote for trump in very high numbers in twenty sixteen and who have stuck with him because what this demonstrates to them and present from claim this all day today is that he delivers they voted for him he may not be their
5:19 am
idea of a perfect christian and they said one of them said just today i wouldn't want him to be a sunday school teacher but he does the liver and he said i can't tell you how much i love this man that's why a lot of conservative christians feel he has delivered on judicial appointments which is their number one priority he's delivered with the opening of israel and the moving of the american embassy to jerusalem he's delivered on a lot of religious liberty initiatives that have been taken he has supported school choice in private schools all of those things are very high on the agenda of conservative christians so he expects them to show up and they probably will show up in very large numbers in the midterm election you know play well with that constituency that's a significant constituency perhaps a quarter of the american electorate calls themselves conservative christians and they voted for they vote republican regularly and the big surprise was how loyal they have been to donald trump and the explanation was very clear in what happened today he delivers he does what they want him to do on
