11:02 am
right laura certainly there has been no real development has certainly for twenty four hours now we haven't even had any of those reports that we understood would drop by sources in the government to pro-government media here as we've seen a steady trickle of in recent days as you say this seems to be mounting frustration certainly by the turkish government saudis as yet refusal to allow its joint team access into the consulate and we understand also access into the consul building of course this is all sensitive around it's called the vienna convention which by basically gives the right to any visiting country any country with a consulate abroad to deny access to the host nation all sources if it sees fit of course the saudis are calling these allegations baseless lies but there are of course mounting questions as to why they will not agree on this joint investigation
11:03 am
and indeed prove the statement that they believe it with the statement that they are sticking to that mr who. left the consulate around twenty minutes off to iraq to almost two weeks ago now there is mounting reaction on an international level as well various leaders around the world of expressed their concern colleague john hendren now has the latest from washington d.c. . 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 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 device is bluetooth technology. he
11:04 am
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
11:05 am
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 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
11:06 am
investigations find and whether turkey releases the evidence it says it has john hendren al-jazeera washington. as we heard a very emotional response in that op ed in the new york times by who shows she's fields a. ginger is she also interestingly put great emphasis on what she described this clip showed she's patriotism and his love of his country she describes how he escaped that crackdown about a year and a half ago with only two suitcases in his hand and she's described how he often spoke about wanting to walk the streets of medina where he was born and brought up able to basically speak freely speak freely about the kind of challenges that exist politically in the region and certainly all the evidence suggests so far that that voice has been silenced. that bring us the latest that from
11:07 am
a stumble thanks very much charles best in the money is from the university of was live in canada she explains why tacky may be limited and it's a bit as he turned best to kate 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
11:08 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 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. in some other news now and children in the iraqi city of mosul assessing back into classes well the new year often says he was retiring from myself shut down and destroyed most schools when they seized mosul in two thousand and fourteen. a report says hope getting an education will help the children heal from the effects of war. it's the fos they have school in bubble elementary school in motion regular classes up received for

11:12 am
more callous out of school bum boys according to unicef half the school sent it out need to better constructed for them to scott according to once again so good in statistics and this country which at one point had prided itself as one of the most effective educational sectors and one of the highest literacy rates in the middle east is looking forward to recovering the most glowing from out of the government is facing a lot of criticism isn't it over the slow pace of school we construction one of the challenges that it faces. well there are so many challenges from corruption to just the sheer. number of issues the government has to build. the infrastructure that is in effect of by years of poverty this policeman with more than two million people still in displacement the government officials will
11:13 am
tell you that they are inundated with so many issues but again aid agencies. underlining the fact that with out education there would be very little that can be achieved but they say investment in education now will be much better for the government because it's going to cost them much of their more so that now i do them to reconstruct places like mosul where schools have been used by all of us bases in the county. most of them destroyed. joining us from a classroom in baghdad thanks very much. still ahead hair on al-jazeera an american evangelical pastor freed from jail in turkey gives his blessing to donald trump but will his release have any domestic political impact.

11:18 am
period lore it's been one central issue migration what to do to manage migration better tighter border controls is certainly the refrain of the parties on the center right the right in the populist right they say that the best way to manage migration better is to take a tougher line that's been their central plank of policy as it were ranged against them are the parties of the center left and the left who say that's not the way to do it they say that the various as integrated migrants and refugees who've come here of the past three you three years very well and there's no need for retrenchment as it were in so far as migration is concerned interestingly in the places that we've been filming in over the course of the last five or six days quite often people we've spoken to have said well we wish there wasn't such a focus on this migration issue we want to concentrate on bread and butter issues as it was schools housing unemployment that sort of thing but certainly the way german media has portrayed this battle it's been very much about the rhetoric of
11:19 am
the right about this idea of how to mine to manage migration better. and of a why does this vote explained as why this matters for germany as a whole. well you have a federal this is a federal republic laura so lots of different states some small some large some very powerful variants like to think of their state is being pivotal in germany they call it the flush that by in the free states of bavaria they insist upon the the preeminence of the states and the in so far as the national politics is concerned this party the c.s.u. it's not going to michael's party ever separate party anglo-american sponsor the c.d.u. does not campaign here they form part of the federal the national coalition they've been very unhappy about these sorts of policies to do with migration that angle americal the social democrats who they're in government with nationally been pushing through so if there is
11:20 am
a result that emerges today which shakes up the system here in bavaria which weakens perhaps the government governing party the c.s.u. in bavaria that could have an off the shock as it were the tremor happens here an aftershock could reverberate in berlin and it could make anger america's national coalition that much shakier and it's worth saying in terms of the federal national picture not very of the federal picture the governing parties that all their poll ratings are really not very high at the moment that's why what happens here this evening when the result comes out will reverberate around germany. john mccain joining us that from munich that's very much on the. at least fifteen migrants including children have been killed off the truck they were in overturned and turkey it happened in the western takesh province of as mayor michael reports say the truck was carrying the migrants from i den when it flipped over tech it's been the main route from that quince trying to cross into europe there as president says

11:22 am
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
