and the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the. al-jazeera. hello i'm barbara starr in london these are the top stories on al-jazeera 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. the saudi consul general meanwhile has already left istanbul for riyadh on monday 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 ashaji was killed inside that building well jim joins us

live now he's outside the saudi consulate in istanbul legible you've been getting more information from turkish authorities about were actually happened to jamal khashoggi what are they saying. well barbara they've given us some really disturbing gruesome details of exactly what took place off the jamaat official she entered the consulate two weeks ago today he was taken according to them to the consul general's office there he saw some needles and was asking what those needles were for very quickly after that the some agents or saudi officials started beating him they then injected him with the needles which resulted in him being killed according to the turkish authorities that spoke to al-jazeera he was then taken to another room where one of the lead forensic experts and all topsy expert from the saudi defense forces dr salaam who had been pictured entering into istanbul earlier that day dismembered.

body now the initial parts where he was taken into the consul concerts was taken to the consul general office of the consul general himself the most senior diplomats in the saudi diplomats in istanbul and the second most senior in turkey was present at the time on top of that it was the consul general who actually had told jamal khashoggi to come and process his paper works at the building behind us and that's what appeared to maybe give us an understanding as to why the consul general decided to fried turkey to get on a flight and leave just hours before it was expected that the investigating team would enter his home now what we understand there's been significant delay in access from the investigators to the house of the consul general they were waiting for the saudis to be present so that they aren't a reaching the vienna convention they haven't been able to get through to the

saudis who have been ignoring their call and it seems that this corporation people are talking about is really not taking place. with the latest from istanbul jamal thank you. the u.s. treasury department has hit iran with another round of sanctions accusing the country of recruiting child soldiers as young as twelve to fight for bashar al assad's regime in syria the sanctions primarily targeted the resistance force an arm of the islamic 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. 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 demanding the release of imprisoned the members of their organization and had stated that line but when that passed they killed how well the man who was a nurse with the international committee of the red cross she was one of three aid

on the tenth of may twenty eighth the wife of a libyan politician of non-tonal lawyers held up an historic document a letter of apology from the british prime minister the u.k. lost its way when i got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and to get off it just didn't but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognizing its mistakes and by apologizing. abdulhakim bell high and his wife

fatima bouchard had been fighting for six years to get the british government to admit it rendered them and handed them over to the regime of moammar gadhafi in two thousand and four knowing that as libyan dissidents bay would be in serious person danger on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize on reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and our role in it. this film follows the troubling story of the opponents of gadhafi who were imprisoned tortured and in some cases killed because the u.k. u.s. and other western governments colluded in a web of unlawful rendition. colonel moammar gadhafi was the libyan leader from one thousand nine hundred sixty nine to

twenty eleven. he was a controversial figure with an ambiguous relationship with the west. his erratic behavior made it easy for the u.s. and europe to portray him as an out of control figure behind terrorist attacks conspiracies and scandals. but there was more to this relationship than was obvious at the time. in two thousand and four the west suddenly rebranded to get a free from public enemy number one to their new best friend. but all the while gadhafi is intelligence service the cia and the british and i six cooperated with each other in ways few suspected at the time. one such case was that of in all shake our lead he said to have run a military campaign in afghanistan. he was captured by the pakistanis in

afghanistan after the fall of the taliban in two thousand and one and then handed over to the americans at background air base for interrogation by the f.b.i. . but the cia decided libby was a high ranking al qaeda figure and sent him to egypt to be interrogated. the information he provided under torture may not have been reliable but was nevertheless used by the u.s. to demonstrate a connection between saddam hussein and al qaeda to justify the two thousand and three iraq. around two thousand and five two thousand and six ali b. was then handed over by the u.s. to libya in the process known as rendition. in two thousand and nine he

was found dead in his prison cell in tripoli after having supposedly committed suicide. humanitarian organizations question the suicide including human rights watch who visited our live in just before his death. the case of even is one of the more disturbing ones because we know that the u.s. rendered him unlawfully into egyptian custody and he was tortured brutally both in us and in egypt in custody and the result of that torture produced false intelligence that led. was used as as reason to go to war in iraq and as a result of that war iraqi you know many civilians iraqi civilians u.s. forces lost their lives. it's disturbing because it's an also proof in evidence that torture doesn't work that it produces false intelligence on many occasions of any of them on some of the ship was not. a libya was

a victim of. collusion between the u.s. the u.k. and libya which dated back to the nine eleven attacks on new york and washington d.c. . after the libyan revolution in twenty eleven thousands of secret libyan american and british intelligence documents were found they painted a dark picture of the real relationship between the three countries which led directly to our libby's rendition and torture physician of the. one hundred over that. one of them of. you who were yet in a fit of be a she who a woman a wife and i left a bit of the. old. kind on her dinner and. eating turkey that in a muslim oversight at it i'm a target from after. the shift in libya.

you know most. all of the ones. that are mostly men. will be. all. over the shuttle and why. i libby's nephew says the torture started in afghanistan but then continued in other prisons around the world in egypt morocco kuantan a mowbray alaska and ukraine for five years in. the hassle when the early early early at year after the what indeed. been up

or being upset that city. some of us and my mom had mostly subtle but. it's looking good akira libby's information about so-called weapons of mass destruction is widely thought to have been used by the u.s. as evidence of saddam hussein's possession of w m d's in iraq one less thing you pointed out that you were warned of believed by the egyptian president mubarak i believe would bark told to tommy tommy franks that saddam had biological weapons be ready yeah like everybody thought he had the international community has clearly demonstrated that it is fed up way is it that a process which has been going on for twelve years trying to disarm iraq from its weapons of mass destruction this report by libyan intelligence the external security organization or so shows details of a meeting with the cia. as it plans to invade saddam hussein's iraq in two thousand

and three the us needed to prepare public opinion for the attack getting libya on volved was key to that strategy. by the iraq war when fadel for the western allies. no evidence of dangerous weapons was found and the lack of a post-war strategy plunged the country into chaos. all gadhafi then seized the moment in a dramatic bedouin gratiot to himself with the west and have sanctions on libya lifted he claimed to have wm deeds and offered to surrender them. and are. desperate to put a positive spin on their mission to destroy weapons in the middle east the u.s. and u.k.

led the way in rehabilitating gadhafi almost overnight. libya was no longer part of the axis of evil. in return a lucrative oil and gas deal was signed and it was then that the cia and m i six began increasing their rendition of libyan dissidents to the gadhafi regime. in a vehicle that out of. the house. but it's now thought the relationship between the head of the e.s.o. . and western intelligence went back much earlier than the aftermath of the two thousand and three invasion of iraq repression between the two states gathered pace after nine eleven. british intelligence held a meeting with music you said in the week after nine eleven. in the following november november two thousand a while british and libyan intelligence officers held a summit over several days at

a hotel as an airport in europe and the german austrian intelligence officers also present and there was a growing agreement at that point that the libyans could be quite useful to the west being useful to the west was what gadhafi was aiming for and the west fell for it but at a price. rendition. this twenty twelve human rights watch report delivers into enemy hands details the process and several cases including that in all shake on libya. that was an agreement reached that the british and the libyans would start recruiting agents jointly. from the libyan agents who would would help and spy on al qaida. the rehabilitation of gadhafi took place under british prime minister tony blair and when gordon brown to

go over from blair in june two thousand and seven the friendly momentum continues and. the london based human rights organization reprieve has closely monitored rendition for many years. lawyer corey krieger specialized in cases involving libya. you remember and the deal in the desert in two thousand and four is that duffy says oh well i'm joining the community of nations everybody was right you know the war on i've looked at iraq and you know i don't want to go that way and all the rest of it said this president has given to him but the reality is of course what happened after that the sanctions were lifted british petroleum and other companies were able to come in and start doing business to the tune of millions in fact billions of dollars i'll just zero made requests to interview tony blair in twenty four but his office said he was not available. the

producers also asked to interview former british foreign minister jack straw who was responsible for british intelligence six the time of the rendition but his office said he didn't have time. neither was therefore able to shed light on my mission pieces like that of. shaken libby was returned in two to maybe in custody and. you know we met him two weeks before he supposedly kit committed suicide in his cell. and when that happened we raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death. we were concerned that it was not actually a suicide libby was allowed a single visit from his family in april two thousand and nine while in libyan detention this video shows him opponent lee comfortable and his family had no reason to suspect he might soon take his own life. if you just didn't get them to

that doesn't mean. we're going to logic up the nickel when the limit open is that we have by the. end of week. mr darrow this we america and that i would let him leave out of the bill and we can learn how if you have a bill iraq. will that what the what that the. but my level of kind. of i'm somewhat of a shift how would a number economy so the cold war the war when we had a war early was a lot. of. was over susan was either that or can you some mrs novella. hold what are their beliefs and some

a signal that. the u.s. is said to have hundred over it no sheikh are libby to the libyan external security organization in afghanistan. and the smell of somebody having to leave your comments stand with the machine and leave the most of them to keep them in may two thousand and nine libby was found dead in his prison cell only two days after that gadhafi is fourth son want to seem acting as libyan national security advisor u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton is in washington d.c. we deeply value the relationship between the united states and libya we have many opportunities to deepen and broaden our cooperation and i'm very much looking forward to. building on this relationship so mr minister welcome so much here thank you the late. for that certainly not to be our when he comes to

know what was it's and what can be can you move can look at of a sudden it can last for a year. it's difficult and we can. stated that human rights watch said even shake our libby die because of torture and ask for an investigation but he was buried and no libyan held him to his death so the photographs are very disturbing and when allenby reportedly committed suicide in may be in prison and we question whether that was really a suicide and these photographs reveal things that make it seem as though you know that it might not have the jimmy been a suicide. gadhafi never allowed any form of opposition within libya. a prominent dissident group was the libyan islamic fighting group the l i f g who gadhafi accused of having links to al qaida.

given her head of. the. yeah gladly will help. that gadhafi is jails had an appalling reputation for mistreatment and torture particularly of political prisoners this mobile phone video purports to have been shot in abu salim prison in tripoli. human rights watch and amnesty international have both reported hundreds of deaths in abu salim although the figures have never been independently verified or human remains found if western intelligence services knowingly colluded in the torture of libyan dissidents in this way they certainly have a case towards. the western agenda was to establish

a connection between saddam hussein and al qaeda whereas gadhafi wanted to link libyan dissident groups to al qaida. this illiteracy. then i saw. the new relationship with gadhafi spread and there are allegations that he illegally funded a nicolas sarkozy's two thousand and seven french presidential campaign sarkozy has been charged with illegal campaign financing he denies the charges and the case is yet to reach the french courts gadaffi was welcomed across europe a far cry from his eighty's image as quote the mad dog of the middle east. but there were there was out there was this was a call ma a living yeah i said mother thought that but at the same time opponents of gadhafi like our door hakim behind and sami our side of the libya islamic fighting group l

i f g were arrested and rendered by british intelligence m i six to gadhafi is external security organization we are going to just turn up our. supply and. by then. they are most of the total so yeah by then what are. they or feel they can to sell you a little soul you know balad. i mean if you have see if you her hair. well it myself and i'm also on it in my new mom you know. there are limits over to there was you know but if i knew. that when i was at two hundred nine many. of. fema pot about coke or.

your broker and if you see. about rendition had the lid blown off it when in the wake of the libyan revolution in twenty eleven correspondence was phoned the pointed to western collusion. in two thousand and eleven after tripoli was liberated some human rights activists and some revolutionaries found an incredible cache of documents in what appeared to be the abandon office of then the head of libya's security services and in those documents for the first time ever we saw evidence showing that there was a joint plot in two thousand and four to kidnap. him and his pregnant wife as well as the libyan man semi or saudi his wife and his four children from exile in southeast asia and render them in other words kidnap them and send them back to that. and we can see diminished.

and bob ross how. zosia do you want to see and walk out of the morgue for the true little time. zones have to confront that are going to turn humanity killing the cia took them separated them and held them for several days at a black site that's a secret prison near the bangkok airport both of them were chained to the wall separately mistreated was beaten heard and all the rest of it and then they were put on a infamous cia rendition plane one of these planes that the cia flew people around the world to be tortured on to have to be. in and her country about it. if you're. going to knock it out the money. out of. the women if you. well it's no. good

i believe in any. case of abdel hakim bahaji and his wife goes back to two thousand and four the couple were planning to seek asylum in the u.k. but they were persuaded by the british to travel to london via bangkok. there they were arrested and tortured before being rendered to libyan intelligence headed by musar koussa. man and. partly out of the need to know. which of course current. and elysium illicitly are you can imagine how. many of the have you know either kind of the command of my bell houses fellow dissidents sami most of our society also says he was rendered to the libyans by the british on the grounds that he was somehow connected to the group responsible for nine eleven al qaida.

the author of tomorrow my. dad. and i are in. on it and we're here and then i mean i'm. well i'm not but and then you know either can i come in and. work at the enemy living in a kind of under. fear or. yellow moon in. the morning or at nuffield i went to. abdel hakim bel high and sami al saadi were released from prison in libya in twenty ten and twenty eleven respectively. convinced of u.k. . involvement in their rendition in twenty twelve they decided to sue the british

government in the civil cool for handing them over to the libyans to be a prison torture. the british government is worried about apologising because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this to me prosecuted and might go to jail. i mean his story is a for the bernese people every week in the news cycle brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these three reuters journalists were one of the few journalists in baghdad that were actually doing investigative work join the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media and focus on how they were caught on the stories that matter the most he buys the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening post on al-jazeera after a three year delay afghanistan is finally preparing to hold parliamentary elections

hello i'm barbara starr in london these are the top stories on al-jazeera turkish investigators have postponed a planned search of the residence of the saudi consul general in istanbul following that this appearance of jamal khashoggi because of a lack of saudi cooperation that also general has already left this the bill for riyadh on monday turkish investigators spent twelve hours combing through the saudi consulate which was last seen entering two weeks ago a police source has confirmed to al jazeera that the missing saudi journalist was killed inside the building according to the source evidence including blood samples

collected from the consulate prove that he was killed there. right now who are well as a result of. the search process in the consulate. yesterday there was an intense process until morning and it we continue my hope is that we can reach a conclusion give us a reasonable opinion soon as possible based again looking into many things such as oxic materials and those materials be removed by painting them over. the u.s. president says he's spoken to the saudi crown prince who denied any knowledge of what happened to jamal khashoggi but trump said answers will be coming shortly the u.s. secretary of state might pompei was also been holding meetings with the saudi royal family in riyadh both countries have agreed on the importance of a thorough and transparent investigation from peo is due to travel to turkey on wednesday. well the us treasury department has hit iran with another round of

sanctions accusing the country of recruiting child soldiers as young as twelve to fight for bashar al assad's regime in syria the sanctions primarily target the resistance force an arm of the islamic revolutionary guard corps the treasury also impose sanctions on a network of businesses that were financing it including iran's men let bank as well as steal and tractor manufacture. income is. the organizer of a migrant caravan travelling north from honduras has been detained in neighboring guatemala and will be deported though from had warned on douras that he would cut tens of millions of dollars in aid if the country didn't stop a group of about two thousand migrants reaching the us border migrants are fleeing poverty and violence in their country more and all the stories on the al-jazeera news hour that's coming up in half an hour al-jazeera world continues next. in may twenty eighth a libyan politician and his wife received

a full apology from the british government for having been rendered handed over by and i said to the gadhafi regime where they were present and tortured. they were just two of hundreds of gadhafi his opponents who were picked up abroad and handed over in a collusion between western intelligence. beginning at a time when gadhafi was supposed to be an enemy of the west. well harsh and fellow dissidents samuelsson suits the british government in twenty twelve they were represented by human rights lawyers in london interviewed here in twenty fifty where the case was still going on well the key documents that we saw where what appeared to be facts is an correspondence between. the what appeared to be from m i six to the libyan authorities notifying them of the

presence of the king about how to his wife fatima at that time in malaysia well the government has sent very blank defenses so far basically saying. tonight the events even those events that is supported by the documentation and what they have instead done is try to get the case struck out of course by saying that because the allegations involve the u.s. and other states in libya malaysia. that it would be the cause here don't have jurisdiction to deal with it that it would be wrong because he possibly criticized the actions of other states at first the u.k. government basically said you can't hear these cases at all here in britain because it will harm our relationship with the united states the americans will be terribly upset about it and so forth. or. or i've been.

lucky to hear if you have an. x. amount i said i want. to freeze and. where and. she mostly has osha to work on my washed. the hull two for bob and pam we move that we actually normally seven cars over to my. mother when i only have you know. one of the thousands of papers found after the revolution in twenty eleven was this one marked top secret it refers to libya a us corporation and to a list of names of so-called traitors which was given to the americans. can it all food million dollars an area that it would help us understand how come i only can what i think isn't as you are well for unseeing well it's only willingly

is lannister mother or father can. and i'm pretty. clear that the foot on. the my bad then. the up of the one will be in your brain and if i'm lucky one of up to i need to marry and then an oscar was something really really sickly. based on the mcbride well a bit on the hardest libya obviously. she is in a military really kind of a burden. on one of our police. where they had a yemeni. lease early. in the scheme. she has a mini holy were parted with. her and asked for her to see that. i would offer to leave iraq and when i. was three.

one of the most significant finds in tripoli was a letter written by so mark allen then head of counterintelligence at m i six in march two thousand and four to the head of the libyan p.s.o. . it says quote i congratulate you on the safe arrival of. meaning. this was the least we could do for you and for libya to demonstrate the remarkable relationship we have built over the years i am so glad that the british security services the cia and the libyan kidnapped children between the ages of sixteen felt twelve and send them to get out. and i was it's an hour and then. there was more and more well maybe. what they need.

the civil cases. and. run side by side but also accepted an offer of compensation by the british government bell however wanted a full apology from the government the former foreign secretary and former head of counterintelligence at m i six the british government settled that case in december two thousand and twelve for two point two million pounds in a shoot out in the home in. a community out of the. and. so i think that we know really what the truth is here and that the british government knows that it has a case to answer to how can bill hoge votes accept such a settlement because he wants an apology he's made it clear that he wants he will submit your good will to pull it is what was going to have and also what was done

to his wife mr bahamas for his part his offer to drop his case and walk away from his civil court case for just three pounds one from some our callen one from jack straw and one from the government and an apology and that's the real problem the british government is worried about apologizing because they feel that if they do that there's a risk that former security service people who were involved in this kidnapping might be prosecuted and might go to jail and one of the even who won and yet to be finance be have put where to draw on. and if you believe this we are going to america all of the. kabul. if this remain here. we learn. what part of to when you're. really where we are to that i'm here or in the here. if it is proved that british officials did torture anyone whether in the ek or broad or involved complicit in

their torch head they need to account to criminal law in the case i'm actually pretty confident that the supreme court of britain is going to say that of course torture victims have to have their day in court but the reality is the government will always seek to delay it's an incredibly embarrassing case what case could be more embarrassing than british security services kidnapping pregnant ladies and sending them back to dictators like a daffy it doesn't get any worse for them while the british government settled with something else saudi the us government appears so far to have ignored the whole rendition issue even though papers discovered in twenty eleven point clearly to their involvement according to human rights watch documents show that the cia kidnapped khaled i'm sorry if i'm most of our marketing and rendered them to the libyans the men say they were detained and interrogated in afghanistan for over

a year. the documents that were we found in the libyan intelligence ministry were very troubling they showed a level of cooperation between the united states the united kingdom and the cia in their rendition of a number unlawful rendition of a number of individuals who were enemies of gadhafi back to libya it shows a deep level of collusion between the u.s. and the u.k. and libya it rendering individuals into gadhafi as hands at a time when we knew that gadhafi was mistreating abusing detainees in custody you saw our team. just. a few. live europe about film about if you will. not work as human a shark never used you know i would and we walk arm. and there was a ham a few until i did mean in the middle of nashville and when he mark and there are

my other then the men include gave them a kind of monopoly of us over that they can the men. well not only about what i'm in islamabad but about the weather. as a b. the amount of the united states believes and promotes itself as a country that believes in the rule of law and abides by its international legal obligations but we know for a fact that the us has not done so in many cases especially with regards to its detention practices that. is the in from the. year or say that there. there's even that there was a move for. a bill to his book a more brutal hail with their behavior with the comes with a camera which made it more difficult for the bush administration to carry out its program of torture they continued to do so but in a different kind of way. and since. the president obama took

office he did ban the use of enhanced interrogation techniques and actually has called the practices that occurred during the cia torture program torture the u.s. unlawfully rendered numerous individuals into libyan custody where they knew that they were going to be. they were going to be likely tortured and abused but in addition before they even did that they held several of them in cia detention and tortured them brutally themselves so yes it's a double standard and double standard that the u.s. absolutely has to account for if it ever wants to put this dark chapter in its history behind it and the muslim of america. the just and our. lives is that in. the meticulous and. move them of the who are who. you are it's what's one of them to do with the what was al-jazeera asked the cia to comment on

all of these allegations but they did not reply. there's evidence that it wasn't just british and american intelligence who colluded with the libyans canada may have also been involved most of a career a canadian citizen of libyan descent says he was tracked kidnapped and rendered to libyan intelligence he says he was accused of having links with so-called international terrorism but that this has never been proved. if you want to move. can one. only it and i will marry more. of couldn't have the bus that america. read then and then and then why you know if you can it. at least i'm going to deny most of the good list i mean the murder in it or the rule of law in this in order to them to do it online i learned

in a multiple names hearing today less and less that has are things in theory can it if you know it in court or you vote can you read any of the mini acca that faint a little you know about the number of. kennedy in correspondence between libyan intelligence and the canadians there's a letter from the libyans saying thank you for the information about the arrest of the canadian citizen most of our mohamed clear otherwise known as father of the ally f.g. in the summer of two thousand and two we greatly value the information we have received on it and what it has about what it in the future if it was that. has the feel of c.n.n. can bury them or be.
