liberally particularly because you have a lot of people that are divided on political issues we are the people who believe to tell the real story just mended is to deliver in-depth journalism we don't feel inferior to the audience across the globe. 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 working is not looking too good for us president donald trump says it's not looking likely that missing journalist. has been killed. so when you're watching al-jazeera live my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next thirty minutes 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 a landslide in uganda where at least forty one people have died plus. pox in eastern australia where drought is keeping fields like this one food for cows having to be trucked in from a thousand kilometers away a huge expense australia's government is helping pay for the cost but should it. welcome to the program us president donald trump walls saudi arabia of severe punishment if it's found to be responsible for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi the saudi journalist was last seen alive ensuring the country's culture are often seen as stumble on the second of all. taguba the saudis deny plotting to kill

khashoggi and say he left the consulate but no evidence has been presented to back this claim up president trump says it's not likely that the journalist was killed child hundred two it's been on live from washington d.c. and we're getting a much clearer position from the white house now. that's right so hell it's taken a while but president trump has amped up his rhetoric and he's sounding more aggressive on his way to a rally in kentucky just a few hours ago he said that within twenty four hours he will be calling king solomon of saudi arabia and he will be asking exactly what happened in istanbul and whether the saudi arabian government had anything to do with that and he went on to say that the united states government was very involved in the investigation into what exactly happened to go maga shogi and we put together a story with the latest take a look. president donald trump is delivering his most serious threat yet to saudi

arabia we're going to get to the bottom of it and there will be severe punishment the president's strengthened stance follows turkish intelligence reports that washington post journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered by a saudi arabian hit squad inside the saudi consulate in istanbul leaks to pro-government turkish media suggest the killing was recorded on his apple watch but technology experts have cast doubt that the devices bluetooth technology was capable of recording to a phone his fiancee held outside the consulate 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 so questions remain about just how the turkish authorities obtained the evidence they say they have to prove was murdered when it comes to getting tough on saudi arabia president trump is talking the talk but it's not quite clear what he'll do to follow up he's already all but ruled out

what is perhaps his most effective weapon arms sales to saudi arabia. troops first trip outside the united states was to see king solomon in saudi arabia where they agreed to weapons contracts well there are many other things we could do but when we take away one hundred ten billion dollars of purchases from our country that hurts our workers that hurts our fact that it hurts for all of our companies here you're talking about five hundred thousand jobs so if we do that we're really hurting our country a lot more there were hurting saudi arabia but members of trump's own republican party have joined democratic politicians in calling for stronger action well he's under a lot of pressure now from the congress to actually impose sanctions on saudi government officials who might have been implicated in this problem in an opinion piece in the new york times to show g.'s fiance or. wrote jamal spoke up against oppression but he paid for the saudi people's demand for freedom with his own life if he is dead

and i hope that is not the case thousands of jamal's will be born today on his birthday his voice and his ideas will reverberate from turkey to saudi arabia and across the world oppression never lasts forever tyrants eventually pay for their sins in istanbul in riyadh and in washington what happens next likely depends on what the investigations find and whether turkey releases the evidence it says it has so there are a number of things that trump could still do even if he decides to go ahead with that arms agreement he could withdraw american diplomats from saudi arabia he could object saudi diplomats from the united states he could still pull steve in the u.s. treasury secretary from that conference the investment conference about to happen in riyadh in a matter of weeks but some of it might cost the united states they might have to

make some sacrifices or leave it there for now john of course continue to follow events globally regarding this case thank you the investigations continue in istanbul to determine what happened to jamal khashoggi but turkey's foreign minister says there's not yet been any corporation from saudi arabia is a link there. other than saudi arabia must cooperate and allow access for our chief prosecutor is a face and expects to enter to saudi cancel the 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 comes of it we haven't seen any collaboration that we want to see that. be allowed to enter the consulate saudi arabia meets to cooperate with us on this matter. small from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul. this by this high profile delegation dispatched by saudi king solomon headed by one of his top advisers prince khalid al faisal 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 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 a 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 generals 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 assassination of factually 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. 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. 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. money is from the university of waterloo in canada she says turkey's economic crisis may limit its ability to investigate and reveal what happened at the saudi consulate 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 unfortunately there may be a lot of backroom negotiations going on to smooth things over and it may come at the compromise of finding out the truth 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 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 turkey needs close to 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. the american pastor freed by a turkish court has met president donald trump at the white house under bronson was released on friday after being held since the failed coup attempt in turkey in twenty sixteen and he was accused by an anchor of terrorism offenses charges he denies mike hanna 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 turkey maybe even even having a very very good relationship we know the people and as 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 happens 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 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 food go sit you will be hoping for governess support among evangelical christians in the moving the term elections mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well still ahead here on al-jazeera we'll explain how the green party

plus how to stamp out trade in endangered wildlife. counting the cost on al-jazeera . i'm. like. some of the like. you're watching al-jazeera i'm so ho robin to remind top stories u.s. president donald trump has vowed to punish saudi arabia severely if it's found to be behind the disappearance of jamal shoki he ruled out. there were other measures that he could use trump has expressed doubt that the missing journalist is still

alive. he says there's not yet been any cooperation from saudi arabia in the investigation into the disappearance of the journalist but allegation from riyadh arrived in turkey on thursday to meet top prosecutors investigating the case. and an american pastor freed by turkey has met president trump at the white house under bronson was released on friday after being in detention since the failed coup attempt in twenty sixteen who's accused of terrorism offenses charges he tonight. is a us political analyst and public policy professor at george mason university he says brunson's release will galvanize conservative christians to vote republican in the 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

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 in 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 a number of issues and this just being the latest one at least seventeen people including several women have been killed in an ass trying by the saudi embassy coalition in yemen jets bombed an area south of the rebel held city of data according to the rebels a bus carrying people displaced by fighting was hit in the strike the saudi embassy carolyn allied with the yemeni government is finding he's backed by iran. one hundred fifty thousand people have marched in germany against discrimination racism and ultra nationalism it was organized by organized to counter rallies by rightwing groups who hold controversial demonstrations in recent months tension over migration has increased in germany since the fatal stabbing of a man in chemnitz. immigration is a major issue in the german state of bavaria the voters there elect

a new regional parliament on sunday a survey suggests an increasing number of people are rejecting the far right and the centrist green party is becoming more popular dominic cain has the story. it's farmers market day in hark in. 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 globalised village and you need to make sure that we're not neglecting local 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 christie 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 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 hey you know you always try you all with pretend but you never make it up with us we 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 do well 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 there really aren't going on in everybody's life for example housing is so expensive and this is a tough issue for as but the polls suggest more voters prefer a different message leaving the distinct possibility the greens will force their way into a coalition you did says her party is ready for that but other voters will find out on sunday evening dominic cain al-jazeera in by an israeli police are investigating the death of a palestinian woman after a husband said israeli settlers pelted their car with stones a large crowd of mourners attended the funeral of forty eight year old mother of

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 a less foreign troops pull out from afghanistan the afghan government at the same time is quite concerned about any deal that would give the taliban bigger say in the can in the near future but then the talks took place at a very critical moment for afghanistan there's been an attack targeting. an

most people's homes here on the strong simple structures made of wood. which today is used to coffins instead. and it's the steadily growing population here and it's need to timber fuel and farmland that means trees are cut down on the steep fragile slopes and that's why landslides keep happening again and again sometimes killing dozens. government programs to be locate the people living here have had limited success but it has helped to treat the body that's about forty one the age that didn't last but. very soon do you think. this would be. where they are not producing and do. you very probates.

a barrel. one hay bale will feed sixty calories for a day dunford has three hundred eighty so feeding them is costing him more than ten thousand dollars a week the grind of a drop gets to you and i like you get a fifty k. when blaring if i sold i was really just makes you still afraid to stock and what we guys but it gets everyone to be cranky for some reason and it ain't a good administers the factors are at every die and. things go backwards not forwards. dunford is mixing some hay with wheat grain and compact grass silos to keep costs down but making that mix is harder work even if it is slightly cheaper across states in australia the drought me the farmers are putting in a lot more effort and paying out a lot more money now the government part help with the what but hand and helping

with the money australia's national and state governments are subsidizing transport costs offering low interest loans and giving cash payments to farmers worth nine thousand dollars only having assets of more than three point seven five million dollars disqualifies farming families from the handouts it's the sort of help people in no other industry get this is a way of life that is important to australia's future and as a result of that i think that means there's a special responsibility here but some economists think farms need to deal with drought as any business deals with risk in good he is economically viable farmers make lots of money which should carry them through the tough ones few australians though see it that way most live in cities but they have a deep cultural affinity with rural communities it dates back to stories of colonial settlers timing a rocket lands today the media adds to the emotional mix drought mike's great
