i my dear on al-jazeera. the. turkish investigators wait to search the saudi consul general's residence in the case of missing journalist. president says they're looking for toxic materials and after the u.s. secretary of state meets the saudi king and crown prince president trump says answers will come shortly. along barbara starr you're watching al-jazeera live from london also coming up on the program the u.s. slap sanctions on businesses giving financial support to part of iran's

revolutionary guard and the prime minister gives halfassed capital posts to two women and creates a peace ministry to try to tackle a wave of ethnic fighting. president trump says he spoken to the saudi crown prince about the missing journalist about the shoji and will be coming shortly turkish investigators are still waiting to search the residence of the saudi consul general in istanbul as they try to find out what happened to her the saudi consul general meanwhile has already left this temple for riyadh on monday turkish investigators spent twelve hours combing through the saudi consulate which was last seen entering two weeks ago al jazeera has been told that forensic experts have found evidence that he was killed inside.

is the building. right now as you are well as a result of powering. the search process in the. yesterday there was an intense process until morning and if we continue my hope is that we can reach conclusions give us a reasonable opinion as soon as possible the investigation is looking into many things such as talks of materials and those materials being removed by painting them over let's talk to jim who's outside the saudi consulate for us in a live in is the. almost from straight after the disappearance of jamal khashoggi a lot of things have been coming out about what happened to him but first of all tell us we've been expecting turkish investigators to enter the consul general's residence for some time now couple of hours actually why the delay. well it's not quite clear fortunately because from the beginning of the

disappearance of to my local shelter there hasn't been some sort of media liaison person from either the turkish authorities here or from the saudi authorities obviously who are a lot less willing even to talk at sykes have been giving us information either through sources that would only speak on condition of anonymity and then there were those few occasions where they would talk to us like late on monday evening when the attorney general's office gave us information and then there are the public statements that come like that of president's right up to about one which we just heard we've also heard in the past couple of hours a spokesperson of the governing i party are much alike who is pretty close also true the president of the republic of turkey saying i mean sis think that there would be a proper investigation that would conclude and would reveal all the information in it he said it this case of jamal khashoggi could not and will not be brushed under the rug or the under the carpet as he said and that the investigates sions that are

taking place although there is a joint one between the truckers and saudi authorities there is an independent turkish one run by the attorney general's office which will continue its work regardless and it is that one that has been a lot more forthcoming at least in the information now obviously i am sure we'll be hearing from the united states about these recent comments that have come out from donald trump but just to give you the turkish reaction to that it seems that the turks have been waiting to see how this is going to play out and the fact that we are now hearing of a denial again from crown prince mohammed bin said amount that he knew anything of it and the fact that it appears to be seen that the united states president actually believes that it is maybe no coincidence that suddenly more leaks have come out from the turkish investigators talk. about through the details of what's happened to jamal khashoggi it seems that whenever there is

a move on the political or diplomatic front that that is either closely followed by or preceded by some sort of leak or information coming from the investigators so it's important to note as we have been saying from the very beginning barbara that the this is not simply a criminal investigation this is a lot of politicking this is a lot of geopolitics being played out unfortunately on the death of a journalist who was none the wiser of the fates that was going to befall him after he entered the building behind me two weeks to this day. there outside the saudi consulate in istanbul thank you on this developing there the u.s. secretary of state mike pump ale has the sky is this appearance with both the saudi king and the crown prince mohammed bin salon in riyadh he's are due to travel to turkey on wednesday with the latest here is alan fischer smiles and handshakes is

mike from p.r. arrived in saudi arabia to begin a series of high profile meetings u.s. secretary of state met with king solomon before sitting down with came prince mohammed bin salman the man the turks believe ordered an operation against journalist and u.s. resident jamal khashoggi he made no public comment but the state department issued what's called the readout of the meeting afterward seeing the secretary and the crown prince agreed on the importance of a thorough transparent and timely investigation that provides answers. donald trump sent his secretary of state to the region as pressure on the u.s. grows to take firm action against their middle east ally the president has already expressed his reluctance to block arms sales to the kingdom and in an early morning tweet rejected suggestions he was reluctant because of his own financial interests saying for the record i have no financial interest in saudi arabia or russia for that matter any suggestion i have is just more big news we get nothing ok during

the election he talked happily about doing business with the saudis saudi arabia and i get along great with all of they by apartments from me they spent forty million fifty million of my supposed to dislike him i like him very much his comments coming the same day he created for new companies and saudi arabia companies his lawyer insists no longer exist responding to a suggestion the saudis may claim jamal khashoggi died at the hands of so-called rogue elements of saudi security one of donald trump's closest allies an important republican voice in the senate said in the strongest possible terms and he wasn't buying it i know what i'm going to do will sanction the hell out of saudi arabia you know we deal with bad people all the time but this is in our face i feel personally offended they have nothing but contempt for us why would you put a guy like me and the president in this box after all the president has done this guy has got to go sorry but if you listening there are a lot of good people you can choose but m.v.s. has tainted your country and tainted himself meanwhile it's been reported in the us

that the current sodium bastard who left washington last week and was told by the state department to return with answers probably won't be coming back prince caliban solomon is the current prince's younger brother alan fischer al-jazeera washington. it's got more now from the sheer britons who joins us from washington d.c. the optics are quite impressive on the on one hand you've got lindsey graham visibly angry i guess of being made a fool of considering how often he's the fended saudi arabia and then you have mike pompei oh i mean i guess you could say sort of friendly with the king and the crown prince i guess what matters is that all trumps opinion what have we heard from him . well he just tweeted as it happens in the last hour or so just spoke with the crown prince of saudi arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in that turkish consulate he was the second secretary state like compared to when the cool and told me that he's already started and will rapidly expand the

full and complete investigation into the matter on says will be forthcoming shortly it was interesting you just wanted jamal and to in turkey about the geo political machinations a story just dropped on them in the new york times which is quite interesting and we always got to take these with a pinch of salt these are stories which you know times does quite a bit these days full of anonymous insiders talking about what the machinations are within the administration they may have their own reasons for saying these things to the new york times but the picture that comes from this story is the trouble ministration isn't that concerned right now about the congressional uproar sells what they're concerned about is november the fourth under them with the fifth that's when the next round of sanctions against iran go online now that what the new york times calls as an describes an elaborate strategy has been hatched whereby the white house and saudi arabia and all of the usual foreign policy establishment figures in washington all make a case that iran is the biggest source of instability in the middle east if this

story is still on the front pages of the newspapers on november the fourth it's going to be rather difficult to make that case because people will be saying no actually should we take a look at what saudi arabia is up to so this is a real concern for the road out of the next round of iranian sanctions that's why i might compare it was sent out with great dispatch to riyadh to impress upon the saudis this is going to go to the new york times the need for some sort of credible looking investigation that will put all of this to bed by november when the next sanctions come online so that's one part of the new york times story the other part is the other concern is that even though saudi isn't the oil bam off that it used to be a big part of these. the push sanctions world will be saudi keeping the oil running make controlled asian markets keep getting their oil to replace iranian oil keeping the prices relatively low so these are the two things that really conservative business ration not so much perhaps what lindsey graham and others are certain even

though that is rather interesting shepparton see with the latest from washington she had thank you. meanwhile the u.s. treasury department has hit iran with another round of sanctions accusing the country of recruiting child soldiers as young as twelve the fight for bashar al assad's regime in syria the sanctions primarily target the resistance force an arm of the maker of a revolutionary guard corps the treasury also imposed sanctions on a network of businesses that were financing it including iran's mellot bank as well as steel and tractor manufacturing companies. and more now from roslyn jordan is in washington d.c. and it was interesting listening to she had brittani see there talking about i guess the impact of the potential fallout between saudi arabia and the u.s.

when really the u.s. is concerned about iran and this latest round of sanctions just emphasize that the . that's right barbara in fact this is perhaps just the latest in a number of actions that the trumpet ministration has been taking to try to isolate iran internationally of course in early november the u.s. is expected to impose a second round of more destructive sanctions against the government in teheran because of what the u.s. says is not just iran's desire to build nuclear weapons but to also try to stop iran from exercising its political will in neighboring countries across the middle east as well as around the world and so this latest round of sanctions targeting the domestic paramilitary group known as the bus each as well as about

twenty or so businesses that provide revenue for the besieged to do its work it's just part of the trumpet ministrations efforts to convince the international community that isolating iran is the right thing to do when it comes to national security now of course it's not just going after an organization that the trumpet straight and alleges is violating human rights inside iran the u.s. is also alleging that this organization recruits young people as young as age twelve to basically become soldiers and has been employing these children to the syrian civil war as one example of an example the u.s. says of iran's continued abuse of human rights and so this is a situation where the u.s. is trying to build a case that isolating iran is not just going to protect the iranian people but is

good for national security regardless of what country you happen to be from and as we know the u.s. and for example the european union are quite split on how to handle iran and any issue of sanctions what success have the u.s. had in convincing just european governments european businesses to go along with the sanctions. it has not had much success barbara and in fact one of the things which the treasury department stressed during a briefing with reporters on wednesday excuse me on tuesday is that countries within the e.u. are going to have to consider very strongly whether they want to continue their business relationships with these companies that have now been sanctioned by the u.s. government because the implication is is that if this business relationship were to continue the u.s. with then be imposing its own punishment against those countries or

against those companies in those countries and so this is really trying to put pressure especially on e.u. countries to cut off their financial ties to iran to well look for other ways of for example getting oil or getting natural gas or getting tractor equipment or you know financing for business expansions look to other places around the world look to other countries around the world do not build your businesses on a relationship with terror ron and so this is a way of the for the trumpet ministration to try to pressure countries to seriously rethink their relationship with iran of course if what we mains to be seen as whether or not e.u. countries are going to take the trumpet ministration seriously and break off those relationships or whether they're going to say that we are sovereign nations and we're going to do what is best for our economies for our countries for our

relationships in the world that we don't kowtow to the united states on these sorts of matters it's going to be a very interesting few weeks especially as the u.s. efforts to impose new sanctions and to try to off try to cut off oil exports from iran take effect and joining with the latest on that story from one. thank you so so to come on the program including nigeria's government says it's shocked and saddened by the killing of a second health worker kidnapped by boko haram. and demands for a public inquiry where year after a maltese investigative journalist was killed by a bomb planted in her car. hello the southern europe has been very stormy recently obviously some of the worst

of the weather has been in the southwest and parts of france but also the northeastern parts of spain have seen a lot of flooding as well the system responsible is working its way eastwards now and we still going to see some heavy downpours of parts of course and saudi there as we head through wednesday on thursday still plenty more wet weather across many parts of the western med and then as we head through thursday night into friday the eastern parts of spain look pretty nasty looks like there is going to be a bit more in the way of flooding here further north a fine and dry for many of us here and still fairly warm for years to warsaw getting up to around eighteen degrees as a maximum during the day for the other side of the mediterranean in the east it's fine that's where the settled weather is but further west well this is the tail end of what's going on over parts of the mediterranean so plenty of wet weather plenty of thunderstorms across many parts of northern area and into tunisia and some of those showers really will be very heavy that also be pushing their way into more of morocco there as we head through thursday so again this whole region looking very

unsettled indeed for the central belt of africa well here there's still quite a few showers but they are retreating further south now one or two of them perhaps are on the coast of west africa but most of them are just that little bit further towards the south. i wish the world innovation summit for one community of two thousand health care experts in of ages and policy makers from one hundred countries. one experience sharing best practices and innovative ideas. one good hopefully a world through global collaboration. why no to a time the twenty eighteen wish summit. welcome

back here's a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera the saudi consul general in istanbul has returned to riyadh this turkish investigators are still waiting to search his residence in an effort to find out what happened to missing saudi journalist john to show. the u.s. secretary of state. talks with the saudi king and crown prince about president trump has also tweeted that he's spoken to mohammed bin and that answers will be coming shortly meanwhile the u.s. has imposed further sanctions on iran accusing an arm of the revolutionary guard over crossing child soldiers to fight for assad's regime in syria. and we can bring you more on our top story now let's go back to john allen's

outside the saudi consulate in istanbul jim i know that you've been getting more information from turkish authorities about what happened to jamal khashoggi what are your sources saying. well barbara we've been able now to get some what are truly horrific and gruesome details with regards to what the turkish authorities say happened to jamal khashoggi they say that's when he entered the building behind us according to the evidence they have that's he was taken directly to the consul general's office in the presence of the consul general he was then beaten right away. and this lasted for a short period of time off to which he was injected with a lethal injection that's killed him this old in front of the consul general and then he was taken away and it was his his body was dismembered by the saudi forensic experts and all topsy experts whose name. who

is one of the chief forensic experts in the saudi defense forces the turkish authorities had released images of him arriving in istanbul on that day had said that they had evidence that he had arrived earlier on the choose date and that he had left him less than twenty four hours later now aside from the truly horrific nature of what the charts say happened to him out of special chief the fact still remains obviously is that i mean obviously in something like this i mean that the nature of the evidence how you're going to release it and so forth this is one thing but also the fact that the person that it was a key witness to it's the consul general in his office is now no longer in charge he would not lead us to believe that he's not coming back and has most probably fled for good also the timing that the turkish authorities chose to

leak this information to al-jazeera is significant considering when you look at the comments made by donald trump it seems that every time there is an attempt to. a narrative that either the saudi authorities namely crown prince might have been some didn't know about the murder or assassination of john marshall chief or whenever there was an attempt to try and portray it as if it was rogue elements or an accidental death or manslaughter the turks feel that they need to give more information to prove or to disprove rather those narratives obviously having said that despite the fact that we are getting this from credible sources the world will want to see clear cut evidence the u.s. intelligence community says it has seen its they have been speaking to american media and have even describe what they saw as truly shocking these are coming from an intelligence community that was behind abu ghraib and guantanamo bay so when

they describe it as shocking you can imagine just how gruesome it must be but the world does want to see that's conclusive evidence on march eleventh the spokesperson for the ak party the governing party here in turkey says that this will indeed happen but two weeks on and we have more information but we still have a little more evidence barbara yeah putting it all together little by little. the conservationists were thinking. that the organized migrant caravan traveling north from honduras is being detained in neighboring guatemala and will be deported donald trump had warned us he would cut tens of millions of dollars in aid if it did stop a group of about two thousand i things from reaching the u.s. border he issued the warning on twitter the migrants are fleeing poverty and violence in their country like a. the armed group boko haram has killed the second kidnapped aid worker in nigeria

a month after one of her colleagues was murdered the group was the man doing the release of in prison the members of their organization and had set a deadline but when that passed they killed how a man who was a nurse with the international committee of the red cross she was one of so many aid workers kidnapped seven months ago in borno state appointed her says more now from. the nigerian government up to the last minute it left the door for negotiations open but he didn't know say clearly what the negotiations or terms of negotiation were and they did not say what they did right and what they did wrong the killing of the two aid workers working for the international committee of the red cross was a rude shock to many when the first killing took place in september a lot of nigers loss of price because previously the international committee of the red cross facilitated the evacuation of prisoners or captives between the nigerian

state and the book leading to some suggestion that the go between between the two sites that the nigerian state and book is international committee of the red cross which many officers of the records denied now the nigerian state said that a lot of nigerians actually was hopeful that following the assurances by the nigerian president that the government will do everything possible to ensure the release of all captives of people with waffle full that the incident we so yesterday may not happen but when it happened a lot of nigerians were disappointed and shocked at the same time. if yo pia's new cabinet has now a record fifty percent female including the country's first female defense minister the reformist prime minister i.b.m. it has also created a new ministry of peace in a bid to tackle a wave of ethnic violence he said that the city to appoint so many female ministers is the first in the history of ethiopian probably in africa since coming to power

in april he's introduced a series of reforms transforming ethiopia's political landscape and restoring relations with a retrial jordan anderson is an analyst with the africa country risk team at i.h.s. market he says the new cabinet is a positive move for ethiopia he's trying to bring in members of the less representative storch the parts of the country this is good for the or their representation for inclusion making them feel part of the country and trying to build a larger national coalition government as opposed to one that's dominated by a particular part of the country this is always been a historical criticism of wave after wave of ethiopian government is it is dominated by one region of the country or by another so we're trying to build a more diverse or geographically ethnically diverse cabinet that is a positive development for the country a moment of silence has been held on the first anniversary of a massive bomb blast which killed an investigative journalist in malta hundreds of people gathered at the scene of the attack to remember daphne. she had been looking
