zero. and. a source tells al-jazeera turkish investigators have evidence that missing journalist jamal khashoggi was killed inside the saudi consulate. the saudis are to consider issuing a statement that he was killed in error during an interrogation gone wrong that's according to u.s. media. hello i'm daryn jordan this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up the largest armed group in syria's in the province stays put in a buffer zone despite a deadline set by turkey and russia. and we report from the democratic republic of

congo where these two million children face death from malnutrition. now a source from a turkish attorney general's office is so down to zero that they found evidence the missing saudi journalist come up was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish investigators finally got to spend hours inside the building thirteen days after kushal g.'s disappearance when earlier a saudi team and to the compound and what's being billed as a joint investigation al-jazeera the investigation results will be announced in around two to three days' time meanwhile u.s. media reports say saudi arabia is weighing up whether to release a statement that it was killed as a result of an interrogation that went wrong the saudis reportedly plan to say the operation was carried out without official clearance with saudi media said the kingdom will interview those who are mentioned in turkish media as suspects in the

case all this comes as u.s. secretary of state mike pompei is on his way to riyadh to discuss khashoggi disappearance with the saudi king more now from al jazeera is jamal. it took turkish investigators thirteen days to finally be given permission by saudi authorities to enter their consulate in istanbul but just a few hours for them to uncover more evidence they say proves that journalist was killed after entering get. the turkish attorney general's office exclusively telling al-jazeera that its team of investigators were able to not only recover evidence from the crime scene but also that there had been a clear attempt to tamper with it. earlier on monday a team of cleaners arrived at the diplomatic mission a bizarre occurrence considering the circumstances they were then followed by saudi investigators who are part of what's been billed as a joint task force with questions being raised as to how the main suspects in

a crime can have a lead role in the investigation itself. there are still so many questions that need on cers why did saudi arabia essendon autopsy experts if as some of its media outlets have been claiming the plan was only to question. how did the saudi government's nuts know of the operation when it's apparently involved two of crown prince mohammed bin son man's personal bodyguards and where is jamal khashoggi is body a full investigation would look at all of the cars that left the consulate from the time that shogi entered up until even now and presumably it's the personnel on the consulate and you'd want to look at their homes and their cars often one can find d.n.a. evidence of incredibly minute amounts but telling in vehicles well after intervent occurred so i would look at that i would look actually at presumably the

saudis have cleaned everything weirds. chlorine or who knows what but i would i would look at the the drainpipes and i look at all of the belongings of the members of the staff who come in and come out the case has forced multinational corporations like ford virgin and j.p. morgan to withdraw from an upcoming investment conference in saudi arabia the kingdom stock exchange suffered big losses on sunday troops all of this coupled with the fact that the interests of regional and super powers are at stake could mean that we may never know the answers. it's why people will be monitoring closely to see what's evidence turkish authorities will reveal to the public once they complete their investigations tuesday marks two weeks since he is believed to have been murdered those who killed him appear to have wanted to silence him instead however their crime has triggered criticism and outrage from around the world much

of it's directed towards the saudi government's. istanbul. well in the last hour khashoggi his family has issued this statement as we await defensive answers and facts from multiple ongoing investigations we believe it's imperative to launch an independent impartial and internationally recognized investigation in order to provide us and the many who loved him with much needed clarity and resolution of mike hanna joins us live now from washington d.c. mike so what's your assessment now the latest narrative coming from president trump that rogue elements carried out the killing i mean that's come under heavy criticism and even anger from congress yes indeed anger is the right word a number of members of congress have expressed outrage at the fact one member chris murphy who's a member of the senate foreign relations committee issued a tweet saying it's absolutely extraordinary to in lists the president of the united states as there are agent now that is

a very strong statement indeed coming from a u.s. congressman so president trump coming under a lot of attack from members of congress for what they believe is pushing what is essentially a saudi media narrative that some kind of rogue elements were involved president trump also attempting to stay head off the ongoing narrative but facing this intense criticism from congress criticism too in particular against the saudi crown prince who was once the darling of diplomatic circles in washington. president trump arrived in florida to view hurrican damage and at the same time reports began to pull to route to power to solve the admission but the journalist was killed by mistake in an unsanctioned abduction attempt has the president tech knowledge hearing about the reports we were getting very close with saudi arabia and with germany and they were being together to figure out what happened and they

want to know what happened also so a lot of people are working on it with a lot of people and will be been very much but it will say i heard everything but nobody knows it's an official report so far just the rule of the reporting from you had earlier in the day president trump floated the theory of what may have happened at the saudi consulate which sounded to me like maybe you could if. hillary. were going to try getting to the bottom of this very this narrative also pushed by some saudi media was greeted with anger by members of congress the democratic senator from maryland sent topless tweet president trump suggestion that elaborately planned to murder in the saudi's own consulate was orchestrated by road killers defies reality says chris van hollen orders must have come from the top the u.s. must not be complicit in an effort to cover up this heinous crime with skepticism

also expressed by a former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. samantha power she says the notion that mohammed bin solomon one of the most controlling leaders in the middle east didn't know his government was sending fifteen goons to turkey to abduct a saudi critic is absurd. and there's increasing criticism of the saudi crown prince by senior members of congress democrat senator chris murphy who serves on the foreign relations committee had this to say in a washington post opinion piece as a new crown prince in gauges in increasingly reckless behavior more and more of us so wondering with our allies actions our own business interests the lists of erratic actions from muhammad bin solomon is long the jailing of royal family members the detention of the lebanese prime minister a nonsensical feud with cutter the growing internal repression of political speech and the disastrous war in yemen and

a tangible response to the growing climate of criticism elaborate national day celebrations at the saudi embassy this week have been canceled in the last year the saudis paid some twenty seven million dollars towards lobbying firms here in washington well a lot of them actually giving up the work in the the same couple of days a two lobbying firms have been and say severing all ties with saudi arabia this brings the total to three lobbying firms that have now severed ties with saudi arabia as a result of what's been happening in istanbul or at my kind of there in washington d.c. mike thank you for that let's bring in phyllis bennis she's the director of the new internationalism project at the institute for policy studies and she joins us live from washington d.c. then it's good to have you back on the program us media report suggesting the saudi arabia is going to release the statement the khashoggi died as a result of an investigation gone wrong or that it wasn't sanctioned by the highest levels of government but as we saw samantha power saying in that report it does

seem completely absurd that a team of rogue killers could have carried this out without the leadership knowing how is that going down in washington that. well i think nobody is accepting this as a legitimate position it's not only samantha power who is skeptical about this i don't think anyone is taking this very seriously the notion that this could happen without the direct approval of mohammed bin sandman m.b.'s who is very tightly controlling the ministration of the of the saudi government simply boggles the mind this is this is made up it also we should note even if that were true if that ridiculous story happened to be true it would still be an incredible violation of international law the notion of a brutal violent interrogation that wasn't supposed to end in death but ended with somebody who happened to have a bone saw with him to dismember the body it there's just nothing about it that makes any sense we should note this is not the first time that a u.s.

ally has has committed massive crimes a work crime it's not the first time the saudis have and president trump is not the first us president to allow that to happen without any real consequence there's no red lines for allies in most cases the difference here is that this was so blatant and that it's had this extraordinary reaction from the public from the press for hope host of reasons that that jamal khashoggi was not just a saudi dip a saudi critic but he was a legal resident of the united states he writes for the washington post one of the most influential papers here he speaks fluent english has lots of ties within the within the establishment ok washington so they're sort of in a similar jump in there because time is against us a little bit and we've seen how president trump and officials like john would push not have a very cozy relationship with the saudis all part of the u.s.

policy a building this until iran coalition how much is that driving this pretty lukewarm response from the white house or the khashoggi is death. i think that's ultimately the main reason here the relationship this little bromance that we've seen between the two crown prince's as it were between m.b. as in saudi arabia and jarrett kirshner here has been all about iran it's all about building this coalition that would involve saudi arabia the u.a.e. and crucially israel in a u.s. backed coalition against iran and if that is the main goal which i believe it is of the trumpet ministration in the region right now nothing will be allowed to get in the way of that so you have president trump making these crazy claims that this was a eroding element that somehow was not approved by the prince or by the king or anyone else it just sort of happened and that's because they want to protect the potential for this this impasse coalition is

a final thought from you very briefly so how do you assess the inevitable consequences of the khashoggi killing i mean is the u.s. finally likely perhaps to at least restrict arms sales to saudi arabia could the u.s. and its support of the war in yemen maybe. i think that we're going to see for the first time a real possibility of a cut in the arms sales to saudi arabia these arms sales of course did not begin under president truck they began many many decades ago they were carried out through last administration including president obama's administration but congress is now very very angry about this and there is the possibility that congress may move it may turn out that jamal khashoggi is murder assuming that that is what in fact happened will result in the possibility of a bringing much closer an end to the war in yemen perhaps it will not have been completely in vain it's not a situation where where he had ever acknowledged that trump in question or might be

complicit in this although he showed himself did call for a cease fire in yemen did blame the yemen humanitarian crisis on the prince he didn't say that trump and question were complicit but indeed they are for this man is there in washington d.c. finished thank you very much indeed a lot more so to come here now jazeera one year on from the killing of malta journalist dafna going to syria a family wants one quality to find out if the state had any role. and flooding in southern france as more than three months of rain falls in one night. hello half the flood winter is coming it's swept down through the rocky mountains it may not be that obviousness satellite picture but there's a cold front there and the f.b.i. is most definitely car would by many degrees the picture in fact was snowy in

welcome back a quick reminder of the top stories on the al-jazeera source from the turkish attorney general's office has told al jazeera they found evidence missing saudi john is jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate on monday turkish investigators will find that out into the building thirteen days off the journalist's disappearance and u.s. media reporting saudi arabia is weighing up whether through a release a statement that he was killed as a result of an interrogation that went wrong saudis reported to said this was done without official clearance. and u.s. president donald trump says a rogue elements from inside saudi arabia could have been responsible for these disappearance. to a state like to saudi arabia to discuss the issue with king solomon pompei is also expected to visit to. al-jazeera senior political analyst marwan bashar says saudi officials must take accountability and company didn't on the matter. and let's

order mind ourselves that the modern solomon is also in charge of the saudi intelligence so here you have the person who's in charge of oil economy intelligence religious establishment as well as the military. not knowing what happens in his own consulate after sending two teams there and the next day denying all of knowing what happened to him a hug he or that he he says he did not leave the consulate of course none of that is believable but what's what's the worst part about it is that as it and rivals this is like life imitating fiction except it's a bad fiction this is a bad novel a bad thriller a bad mystery because the actor does not comparable does not lie well does not hide his crime well all the lies are transparent and the stories keep changing and it things from a bully to a victim back to a bully again so really it's a quite a messy story that continues to unravel and indeed fascinate the world we just

moved today in particular from a tragedy to a tragic comedy no one believes anything that's coming out of riyadh. the largest armed group in syria's rebel held in the province is yet to withdraw its fighters from the region despite a deadline set by turkey and russia. has not previously said whether it accepts or rejects the terms of the such agreement so hot as more from neighboring lebanon. a de villota rhizome is being created around syria as it leaves province a twenty kilometer deep strip of territory is now free of heavy weapons by october fifteenth it should have also been free of fighters considered terrorists by the international community the so-called radical groups didn't pull back but hours before the deadline. the largest military alliance that controls much of the buffer area and the rest of the province signaled that it will comply in its statement.

said it appreciated efforts by those inside and outside which is believed to be a reference to turkey to prevent an invasion and wide scale killing it also made reference to the foreign fighters saying we won't forget to the group maybe trying to keep unity and prevent betrayal among its ranks that is why an explicit acceptance of the deal would worsen divisions or rejection would risk a military confrontation with turkey which has said it is ready to use force against those who do not comply to hit a sham quietly met the deadline to withdraw heavy weapons from his own last week it's not the first time the group has shown pragmatism the buffer zone deal does not call for a surrender or reconciliation with the syrian government it created a new front line that protects regime strongholds and russian military assets but many syrians of the rebel controlled province remain skeptical. of the one million

dollar that's not even that i don't know what are they moved the heavy weapons back sometime kilometers or so but i don't support this it just makes it easier for the regime and russia to advance into a loop you cannot trust the regime and russia. this is all a game the aim is to cause division among rebel ranks that will lead to infighting that way it becomes easier for the regime to take the area everyone is lying to us . the syrian government has repeatedly said it will eventually return to state control but russia and turkey have so far been the decision makers the deals sponsors need each other in the post war phase i think it says the interests of both parties so this is why i believe that this agreement will hold for for the time being and the turks will be giving more time in order to actually try and to deconstruct the whole complexity of this situation inside it live for the next few weeks and months a few days ago russia said that it could accept

a brief delay if it meant the spirit of the agreement was still upheld the deadline was missed but syria's main power brokers seem committed to keeping the deal alive . beirut a border crossing between syria and jordan has opened for the first time in three years territory near the crossing was recaptured from rebels by syrian government forces in july last seen used to be a busy route for goods and people what was close during a major battle of the civil war. flooding has killed at least ten people in southwest france and some places river levels rose to their highest in more than a hundred years as more. flood water gushed through towns and villages sweeping up cars and nearly everything in its path roads crumbled and homes were submerged three months worth of rain fell in five hours in southwestern france on sunday night causing the old river to burst its banks residents were left in shock but

more damage in a region where so many people have already been affected but i should butler al jazeera paris twenty four people have died after contracting the boehner virus in the democratic republic of congo in the last week during that time the health ministry has confirmed thirty three cases of the deadly fever in total more than one hundred thirty have died from the burner since an outbreak began in the country in july. in malta the family of a journalist killed in a car bombing a year ago wants to know if the government had any role in her death that demanded an official inquiry that's going to theo was exposing corruption in business government and the police need barker reports in the capital letter. duffy khurana go the see is death shocked a nation to many she was a fearless anti corruption crusader but she was also accused of scathing even defamatory journalism and of being politically partisan although one of the read blogs a year after she was killed in a car bombing the reasons for her death are still unclear. and her
