that could change the country's political landscape. and. drought is keeping fields like this one. the cows having to be trucked in from a thousand kilometers away a huge expense. let's hope and pray for the cost but should it be. here's president donald trump has warned saudi arabia of severe punishment if it's found to be responsible for the disappearance of jamal khashoggi as a journalist was last seen entering his country's consulate in istanbul in the second of october as saudis deny it. and say he left the consulate john hundred reports from washington d.c. . president donald trump is delivering his most serious threat yet. 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 to show jean 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 all of our companies here you're talking about five hundred thousand jobs so we do that we're really hurting our country a lot for 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 show g.'s fiance wrote jamal spoke up against oppression but he paid for the saudi people's demand for for. with his own life if he's 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 john hendren al-jazeera washington. that's going live not to join chiles strafford and john the saudis have been in turkey since thursday and it would not had anything from this joint task force that supposed to been setup what's going on that's right i mean it's thirteen days a week on day thirteen now since jamal khashoggi disappeared seemingly in the building behind me as you say this negotiation committee has been here for

a number of days now trying to set up this joint task force that. will basically be given access to the consulate not only the consulate we understand with the consul's house as well of course under the vienna convention a country in a foreign land with an embassy can deny access to the consul to that embassy so certainly according to its national this is within saudi's rights but there are mounting pressures now all saudi arabia to give them access and of course questions being asked that if indeed is the saudis say mystical so she left this building then what have you got to hide and of course their fear is that the long with its delay goes all the more risk there is of any evidence either proving that he was indeed murdered or indeed he did leave will have disappeared. this is what the turkish foreign minister had to say about the issue in london yesterday. is

there a link there. on the them saudi arabia must cooperate and allow access for our chief prosecutor is office and experts to enter to saudi cancel it where did it is appear there in the consulate therefore for the sake of this investigation in order to bring everything out in the open they must allow access to a consulate 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 and we want charles we've got fiance rising in the new york times on a day that would have been sixtieth birthday and what she had said was really very moving wasn't it. that's right a very emotional op ed in the new york times by gen yes she talks about shows she as being a loyal patriot or somebody who loved his country somebody who she says dreamed

of a time where he could walk the streets and do you know where he was born and raised and freely talk about politics she says that he didn't like to be called a dissident he preferred to be somebody described as somebody who used his pen full the good of his country she says that he fled saudi arabia one of a year and off we go with only two suitcases of clothes and as i say dreamed of going back and there's a bit at the end which basically talks about the plans that they had made the plans they made on the day that he disappeared their appointment here at the consul was around one pm and they've spoken about going out and meeting friends and buying things for their house for their future together off the woods but as i say all evidence would suggest that those kind of ambitions that this man had of being a voice of freedom in or about saudi arabia and the wider region seems to have been

silenced telegraph and joining us that from istanbul for the moment tom thanks very much best amani is from the university and was live in canada and he explains why he may be nimitz had and its ability to investigate the case. 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. 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. as we want some other news now and schools in the iraq he says he of my school have finally reopened after the fall of i so. shut down and destroyed my schools when they seized mosul in two thousand and fourteen as mom a dad a report says now hopes getting an education will help the children heal from the effects of war. it's the first they have schooled in bubble elementary school in motion regular classes up received for the first time in three years. i

still use this school as a military base firing rocket propelled grenades and mortars at nearby or out of forces by the time the complaint to recap the most will solve most of the city was reduced to rubble the own going school or construction work was initiated by volunteers and patents came to see their children back in class canopy this was made possible with the help of contributions from the well wishers within and outside iraq it is the result of the tireless efforts of iraqi women to portray to the world agony and devastation and most of. the classrooms are crowded on the children must share both books and sits most top forgotten what it is like to be in school up to three years where it can be a struggle say the teachers to get them to listen and participate but it's the troll mon psychological impact the violent us had that's been the most diverse state. six year old solid that has has him survived an ass like that hit his home

and almost wiped out his entire family he now lives in the partly destroyed house with his father and grandfather the only other survivors of the air strike solace for the prepares his son for the first day in school he is hopeful making new friends will help ease the recovery. of said humble solace is slowly recovering he nearly died and remembers everything vividly we need more help in caring for him though salah said was the ses everyone's trying their best to help him. the psychological impact on children has been huge we have to free the children's minds from all these bad thoughts we're free therapy sessions that are being clearly funded by the government unexploded bombs and other weapons continue to pose a danger to the children in the schools not once as i said the basis. now joins us live from a unicef school in iraq's capital baghdad and her children mosul they're returning

to school where you are it's a big shift school isn't it how necessary of these to rebuilding iraq's education sector. well all of these schools are quite unnecessary to bring back what used to be the casual sex at one point it out was one of the highest literate countries in the middle east now this is a key plank to bring back that education sector which is right now in shambles this is a collaboration between unicef and the government the government is providing the teachers unicef is providing the facilities this school is one of a model school which will be pick a third in other areas where many children to school understand the stakes are so grim city point five million children going to school ninety percent of children

living in places like mosul from. the last one in probably where the conflict has been what at its last going to school on the east. an increasing need for the government and the public also to get these schools back a professional because they were just as a warning that if that doesn't happen and i would have a whole lost generation. i have plenty of happy and very noisy children in school where you are but the government is facing a lot of criticism isn't it over the slow pace of school we construction what challenges does it face. well it's not saying much but officials are intimate about they are facing so many challenges is not just a question sector that lives there are potential there is also the prohibition of

health care dealing with the infrastructure that has been affected by the conflict and so much more including corruption and lack of political consensus at the center in back about all these afflicting the nation which is recovering slowly from. conflict so we have a situation where places that have been promised a construction like most who have not had any. app for being. coming to them from the government which are seen patents and volunteers coming together to start up the schools and rebuild them once again as we saw in that report. joining us there from baghdad thanks very much. also has hair on al-jazeera an american evangelical pastor freed from jail and turkey gives his blessing to donald trump will his release have any domestic political impact.

party john mccain is live for us in need to die one of the key issues in this election. it's a brisk autumnal morning here laura and the voting has been correspondingly brisk so far the polls have been open for the past hour or so in so far as the issues that are bringing the voters to this polling station and other polling stations across this state one seminal issue has been migration immigration border control what to do to manage migration into this state certainly the parties of the right and the center rights and to a certain extent the populist rights have stressed that they believe that migration needs better to be managed needs to be toughened up the rules that govern migration into the states into this country need to be overhauled as it will contrast that with the view of the policies of the center left and of the left who say that that's not the case that that's not the policy to make the key plank as it were a policy to when they selection to the state parliament taking place today and he

mentioned angle americal she really hasn't been very present in this campaign physically in bavaria trying to stay away perhaps trying not to cloud the issue because remember her policy the christian democratic union does not stand candidates in this state it's the christie and social union which as you say has governed the states almost alone for much of the last fifty six years and done it why does this. matter to john is the whole. well on the face of it very like to think of the state as first among equals in the federal republic of germany certainly that's what they've been telling me time and again over the course of the last week that we've been here reporting on this election in so far as germany is concerned will remember that. the christian social union merkel's allies in the federal government was so incensed about the migration issue that they threatened to topple the federal coalition if they didn't get their

way there was an e.u. summit at a european level the c.s. used book concerns were discussed and and a solution was thrashed out to try to change the way that border control that migration is managed right across the e.u. so from one perspective from that perspective at least what happens here which governments emerges in this state ofter today's vote saying well that really could have a profound impact space in berlin and in brussels and then insofar as what is being reported here today anyway the this newspaper the vet is inviting its readers to play what it calls bavarian bingo they've used the map of the excuse me the flag of my very own they're putting all sorts of statements in one statement they say they should their readers should listen out for thank americal thank you matthew how likely is it they say that any of the parties taking part in this election today will think angela merkel for her role when the results come in and the results will come in in the course of the next nine hours or so or ok dominic thanks very much.

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 this in turn is quite concerned about any deal that would give the taliban biggest say in the can in the near future but then the talks took place at a very critical moment for afghanistan has been and attacks are getting. an election rally in the northeastern province of taha fourteen people were killed and

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 to go sing you will be hoping for governess support among evangelical christians in the moving the term elections mike hanna al-jazeera

washington. this trillion government is not the billion dollars aid package for drought stricken farmers but economists are questioning whether it's worth the money trying to grow crops and raise animals is getting more and more difficult an increasingly harsh climate and you tell us reports from their parks in new south wales which hasn't had decent rainfall in two years. in a good year farmers like wayne dunn food wouldn't need to buy hay a tall they'd grow crops. and the sheep and cows would eat them straight out of the ground but drought has hit australia's east and states they say has been trucked in from a thousand kilometers away with transport it costs about two hundred fifty dollars a barrel. one hay bale will feed sixty cows 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 drip gets to you know like you get a fifty k. or when blaring if i sold i was a really big throat and they still are afraid to stock and what windows but it gets everyone a bit cranky for some reason and you tend to get up there is just the factors are at every die and. things go backwards not forwards. dunford is mixing some hay with wheat grain and compact grass silo to keep costs down but making that mix is harder work even if it is slightly cheaper across the east in australia the drought me the farmer the putting in a lot more effort and paying out a lot more money now the government part help with the what but it can and leaves 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 and 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 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 land today the media adds to the emotional mix drought mike's great television and in australia the only ad drought so really the. confronting so people in the city who don't necessarily understand the economics of agriculture

who have this date cultural sympathy for farmers want their governments to act so it's good politics but not necessarily good economics added thomas al-jazeera the appox instance trade. and you can find plenty more on our website the address there at the bottom of your screens al jazeera dot com. here with these are our top stories the u.s. president has vowed to punish saudi arabia severely if it's found to be behind the disappearance of the saudi janice jamal khashoggi ruled out holding cells but said there were other measures washington could use if she was killed he says there's not yet been any cooperation from saudi arabia in the investigation into show she's disappearance his foreign minister the saudis to allow turkish police into their
