them. but that johnny. who couldn't manage the elephant. femur a. limb or to be a man if it is love according to korea the libyans had information on him but they could only have obtained through collusion with canadian or american intelligence this would again have been at a time when gadhafi was still considered an enemy of the west had in my room a minute mr heene and you coolly she has and the t.v. is merely for be here. to me she has no how. can it be a little thought. about i count of the lot and if the. feel of the he were you to him fear of the weather may only you for a brain the whole brain. and i could not as a wish well implement the c. and. o.

12:04 am
and when she'll win just by then just but yes you know last of the angle theory and . the look at the look at that well i'm ok well there was a lot i don't know us but an al-jazeera asked the canadian security intelligence service to comment on most of her clothes allegations they replied to say they do not comment publicly on specific cases but they are that our exchanges with foreign agencies are always guided by a playable law ministerial direction and a robust suite of internal policies all to ensure that c.s.i.s. is not complicit directly or indirectly in the mistreatment of any individual and that everything we do to keep canada safe is consistent with canadian values al-jazeera came across another case that of abraham we see another libyan opponent of gadhafi this time in ireland. he says he was detained for questioning by the
12:05 am
irish authorities before the visit of george w. bush to arm in june two thousand and four this led to media stories saying he had links to al qaida. but the. death of them one by the time we don't have met. all of the him and that man are. at that one i. am. a little only learn the lesson or what i'm what they. marama rock or. doria or the commas are very. hot or covet his ability of a mamelodi. comfiest officious can be in. how many or most or all of the diffusion. masada in a little cell phone call fit down
12:06 am
a mini bill bill america. lundy. aurilia i mean the. heart of it was of course on friday. all boosie is says that none of the charges against him in ireland was ever proved but that he was nevertheless put under house arrest and subject to travel restrictions. on some of the you know they had their ballot. but i thought i thought i love so far at least all i need to have mac that's my but that's. no executions. kind of telling me that and number two i think we have a lot. i licked a lot of oil but it was said by really humane who look at it. and then message cut
12:07 am
they were afraid i think i'm going seventy i think both of us in fifty i'm a cafe i'm a buffet alum a whole lot more could the unlit help or talk of getting out of the. south oh i hope i move through the overthrow of the new senate very clearly has a good look i don't know if i can help and not the offer can move the. al-jazeera asked the irish authorities to comment on mr albert c. your statement the justice ministry replied to say that they do not comment on individual cases they went on to say that given the international threat from jihad this type of terrorism the authorities here work closely on an ongoing basis with their international counterparts in identifying and managing threats in this area. different vein there's a dish best served cold in the first years of. meanwhile back in
12:08 am
the the u.k. . ills of justice had been turning in the case about the hakim. on the tenth of may twenty eighth there was a dramatic development. the head of the british government prime minister to resign may sent a letter of apology to belfast and his wife fatima and in the british parliament the senior lawyer the attorney general made an announcement. on behalf of her majesty's government i apologize on reservedly we are profoundly sorry for the ordeal that you both suffered and kraft rolled into. the house had been waiting fourteen years for this moment so his response was direct you are the one good attorney. and i think if you were to bury her in.
12:09 am
the jetty and the woman would have money if it is the fed it and had it they're still. fighting and their lawyers showed the prime minister's letter of apology to the assembled journalists. the u.k. lost its way when i got mixed up in the rendition of an innocent pregnant woman and to get out he just didn't but today i think it stood on the right side of history by recognizing its mistakes and by apologizing. it's important to note that although the british government apologized for rendering the baha jews to libya former foreign minister jack straw and former head of counter intelligence sadam i six so more column have north admitted personal responsibility for any wrongdoing in the case of god. and fatima bush. furthermore in october twentieth the former head of libyan intelligence mussa koussa publicly denied any
12:10 am
complicity in the torture of political detainee or in one nine hundred ninety six massacre at abu salim prison. al-jazeera spoke to corey cruder after the british government apology for me the most important moment when the british government apologized in may was the part of the prime minister's letter where he essentially says we believe you. abdullah came in fact and i had to relive the absolute bottom the worst moments of their lives for six and a half years to fight this case and we know how survivors of torture and abuse like theirs are often silenced and disbelieved so for the prime minister of the united kingdom to say in her apology we believe what you have said we believe that the cia and the libyans tortured you that for me it was the most powerful moment i don't think that the apology does totally close the rendition issue altogether for under the human fatuma it does it ends the chapter it ends the case they are satisfied
12:11 am
that's the end of it but this isn't just a historical issue anymore is it so for example we know that gina has somebody who is at the very heart of the american torture and rendition program has been promoted to be director of the cia now and we also know that all around the world there are still security agencies with which the u.s. and the u.k. cooperate every day who torture prisoners so right now as we speak in yemen the united arab emirates is running black sites in which detainees are tortured and which rape is used as a technique of torture and these are people within the u.s. and the u.k. is in coalition and so i think that there's a real moral ethical and legal question for the security services in the u.s. and the u.k. about how closely they're going to fly to abusive security agencies and what the line in the sand is really going to be. the prime minister's apology may have restored the british government's reputation showing it was willing to try to write previous role. but how did not to be for the tenacity of human rights lawyers it
12:12 am
may never have been achieved and the same cannot be said of m i six and the cia seven years on from the death of gadhafi it's worth remembering that not every opponent of the gadhafi regime and victim of unlawful rendition by western intelligence agencies has joined the sea and come. wish the world innovation summit for health 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 goal a healthier world through global collaboration. apply now to attend the twenty eighteen wish summit.

and there then the storms are still lighting up the sky over parts of australia mostly out of this area of cloud it really is very active lots of electrical activity on this you can see it's feeding its way southwards as well as giving lots of thunder and lightning is also giving us some fairly decent outbreaks of rain as well and it's going to continue with this as we head through the day on wednesday so for some of us in victoria and three cell new south wales they'll be a fair amount of cloud few outbreaks of rain and maybe one or two showers pushing their way into parts of queensland as well towards the west plenty of dry following
12:14 am
weather for perth until we had to thursday when there's more cloud or a rolling its way across us then the temperatures will drop as well so a maximum just of nineteen there on thursday every towards new zealand it's largely fine a dry bit of cloud in the far north perhaps but also a rather active system in the fall south making things here roll the windy but elsewhere looks like it should be fine and dry and we've mostly got a high pressure in charge it looks like as we head through wednesday and thursday said no major challenges for all weather towards the north there's quite a few showers here some of them are likely to be rather heavy up towards japan and then we've got one system that's pulling its way away from us but behind it there's still quite a bit of cloud around the western coast of that stretches up across the korean peninsula system still with us as we head into says they take. discover new developments in surgery i'm going to have it up when i am in hiroshima japan to meet the surgeon pioneering new techniques in regenerating on names and

12:16 am
for joining us coming up in the next sixty minutes saudi arabia blocks turkish efforts to search its consul general's residence in istanbul for clues over a missing journalist. as the u.s. secretary of state meets the saudi king and crown prince president promises and shortly it will the u.s. sanctions on an arm of iran's revolutionary guard and the businesses giving it financial support plus fears of a no deal breaks and grow countries around the e.u. already preparing for the worst. and on fire at a small be here with all the sport including france beat germany to push them even closer to relegation from the top tier of europe's nations leak.
12:17 am
saudi arabia has prevented turkish police from searching the saudi consul generals and the stumble residents the consul general himself has actually left turkey the move came hours after they were due to enter the site now turkish officials have told al-jazeera they have evidence the missing saudi journalist was killed inside the saudi consulate on monday turkish investigators spent twelve hours combing through the building which i showed you was last seen entering exactly two weeks ago. right. i thought result of. the search process in the. yesterday there was a tense process until morning but it we continue my hope is that we. can reach conclusions we give us a reasonable opinion as soon as possible the investigation is looking into many things such as toxic materials and those materials being removed by painting them
12:18 am
over. what we have correspondents monitoring events in istanbul and in washington let's begin in istanbul and go live to jamal and show you who's outside the saudi consulate in istanbul. the saudi consulate behind you was searched on monday yesterday that was meant to be a search of the consul general's residence we're waiting for that a couple of hours ago what's the latest because apparently it's being called off that we know why but yes what appears to be the case is that the saudis saeed. really resonate on agreements and commitments that they made with the turkish authorities if we remember and recall a couple of days ago there was that phone call between the saudi king and the turkish president rejects a earlier one there was the saudi delegation that went to a political one let it led by the saudi king's top advisor and then there was the intelligence officials who are here in istanbul who met with their turkish counterparts and they agreed the formation of this joint investigation units and
12:19 am
parts of that agreement included the turkish authorities would be able to search the consulates and run as a consul general as home as well as vehicles obviously with the presence of the excuse me of this saudi or sorties as well. also part of that's agreement was as far as we understand from the turkish side telling us that the turkish prosecutors would be able to speak to the consul general and hear from him what's details or information they had what took place on tuesday was extremely. worrying in terms of the idea of collaboration and cooperation that the saudis and sites have been trying to drum up over the past couple of days firstly we saw the consul general decide to get on a flight and departs stumbled part starkey just moments before the investigators were due to go to his house then we saw the investigators gold to the house
12:20 am
a police cordon set up around it's pushing the journalist back much like we saw on monday when they came or prior to them coming into the consulate behind me but then they were never allowed to enter the saudi officials that they were i had initially given the green light based on that agreement refused to let them go in so two major setbacks at least or u. turns by the saudi authorities ofter those agreements are made that's the narrative that we are getting from the turkish side unfortunately we're not getting a narrative from the saudi side not for want of lack of trying i must add it is the saudis who refused to speak to al-jazeera and in fact in this case have not really been forthcoming to any media outlets and therefore what appears to be the case may be as a direct result of the turkish attorney general's office telling al-jazeera exclusively on monday that his team had found evidence in the consulates which further proved that she was murdered or assassinated by saudi it's what is it's are is
12:21 am
a result of that's we're not quite sure but definitely as far as the turks are concerned the saudis have reneged on their agreements and have now not given access to the turkish investigators to go into the consul general's house the consul general himself has fled the country and it's quite a remarkable development. now as you say i guess the preliminary results of the investigation into the consulate which happened yesterday did mean that the that the investigator said that there was evidence that supports the idea that your mother shoji was actually killed there what more information do we actually have about what really happened to him. well the turkish authorities gave you a bit more information as to the details of what took place when jamal khashoggi and sure the consulate two weeks ago and it is gruesome shocking
12:22 am
horrific to say the least they say that the journalist and third into the consulate building he was taken to the consul general's office upon entering he saw some needles he was also seeing what they were for he didn't manage to continue talking before several saudi agents and special forces officers who were sent that's morning from saudi arabia descended on him beating him and then he was quickly injected with what's was in those needles which resulted in his death he was then and this took place as far as we've been told from the turkish authorities in front of the consul general inside his office he was then taken to another room where he his body was essentially dismembered by doctor named. as a doctor. as one of the main. forensic experts all topsy experts in the
12:23 am
saudi defense forces and this also took place in the building behind me so those are some extremely as i say shocking and gruesome details we had heard in some american outlets that they had spoken to u.s. intelligence officials who were privy to the evidence that the turkish authorities had and had shared had that had been shared with them and they had described how shocked they were really when they were exposed to that evidence and it does say a lot that's an intelligence community which was behind cities like what took place in abu ghraib prison or by graham air base or even guantanamo the fact that they would be shocked by the contents of this evidence does speak volumes to just how grotesque it is the nature of what's happened to jamal khashoggi according to the tarp issue authorities. with the latest from istanbul jamal as always thank you well president trump says he's spoken to the saudi crown prince who denied
12:24 am
knowledge of what happened to him but he promised that answers will be coming shortly this after u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh the scuffs the journalist disappearance with both the saudi king and crucially crown prince. mohammed bin some man in riyadh alan fischer has more. smiles and handshakes as my frumpy are 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 crown prince mohammed bin sultan 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 answer that because i don't want to be listed as details began to emerge about what the turks believe happened to the writer donald trump tweeted just spoke with the crown prince of
12:25 am
saudi arabia who totally denied any knowledge of what took place in the turkish consulate he was with secretary of state might pompey or during the call and told me that he's already started and will rapidly expand the full and complete investigation into this matter answers will be forthcoming shortly it's been claimed the saudis will allege 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 in the strongest possible terms he pointed the finger at the saudi crown prince turki no one is m.b.'s 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 far would you put a guy like me and the president in this box for after all the president has done this guy has got to go sorry but if you're listening there are a lot of good people you can choose but n.b.s. has tainted your country and tainted himself like at a conference in gulf issues in washington where the journalist was due to be among
12:26 am
the speakers he was remembered what is clear is that our government and governments around the world much do more to protect journalists 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 want becoming back prince caliban solomon is the current prince's younger brother alan fischer al-jazeera washington. let's get more now from she has read can see who is live for us in washington shep donald trump has had more to say about this in an interview he's given what's he been saying in an interview that will be but we released it about three hours time on the fox business channel don't trump says the following it depends whether or not the king or the crown prince knew about it in my opinion number one what happened but whether or not they knew about it if they knew about it that would be bad it's interesting because it does occur
12:27 am
a little bit of what lindsey graham was saying earlier about and b.s. mohamed bin salmond that he's talks of he's tainted if he's involved and so on lindsey graham has already made up his mind about this we've got a lot of members of congress talk about this but lindsey graham is significant because he does have the ear of donald trump he's a golfing buddy is a confidant he's a friend even it's often been said so lindsey graham being very outspoken on this might have some influence on don trump which is particularly interesting because the other key person all of this in the white house is jarred cushion a donald trump's son in law and advisor who has this grand plan for the middle east and george bush's entire plan as we will often report in the past is entirely based on m.b.'s and on the white house's links to mohamed bin salmon so we have this interesting tug of war perhaps beginning yes you have i mean following on to that apparently there is interesting reports in the u.s. media about what's actually going on within the trumpet ministration over what is a hugely divisive issue well across the world and certainly nation life there.
12:28 am
right well it's one of those articles of the new york times does come up with quite often within from within the trumpet administration unnamed sources giving a sense of the debate within the white house and in the administration we've always got to be careful about these there may be reasons why these sources are saying these things to new york times reporters but the gist of this article that just broke a couple of hours ago is the main concern of the white house isn't arms sales of what's happening right now it's what's going to happen on november the fifth when the next round of sanctions against iran kick in better is a strategy that's already in place a plan which is once those sanctions kick him there will be a huge p.r. blitz to talk about how iran as they often say the white house is the biggest threat to the middle east security and stability if this story is still on the front pages and on television it's going to be very difficult for the administration all the usual think tank friends in the foreign policy establishment to have that unified unified message because many people be saying wait what about
12:29 am
saudi arabia and saudi arabia the most disruptive destructive act in the region especially when a lot of the sort of think tank foreign policy establishment people are amongst those who are apparently completely shocked by what happened to the shoji and their party never even thought of saudi arabia as a potentially bad actor so this is what is really really apparently excising the white house according to the new york times tonight fascinating developments there she had written and see what the latest from washington d.c. she had thank you and joining us live in the studio is roxanne farman from my end who is a lecturer in international politics at the university of cambridge madam as always thank you for joining us here on al-jazeera lots to talk about i'd like to pick up on that point of that was she had was making that basically the u.s. administration is all about iran and certainly from the moment donald trump went to the white house even before really he made it very clear that the saudis were his friends and iran was the biggest threat the biggest fode do you think that that will have a huge impact on how he handles whatever revelations we're going to see coming. of
12:30 am
saudi well particularly because of the the sanctions are supposed to kick in about the same time as the mid-term elections so these are very short periods in which to get these things sorted and i would suggest that this i would agree with your correspondent that the all of the pieces that are in place at the moment are very precarious and one of the difficulties that the trump administration is encountering is that there is not one aspect of all of this that's not a lose lose the whole implication this has on the actions of m.b.'s of mohamed bin some implies that if he didn't know what was going on he is still then very much not in control of his country that suggests that he is nowhere near as reliable a partner as trump has made out to be and that the royal family will have
12:31 am
reason to be in turmoil which apparently it is it's not just the. consul general from turkey that has really returned to riyadh but also the ambassador of saudi arabia from washington that apparently has been because i mean it all it was obviously such a cool relationship from the start it was the first foreign trip to that the president made as president and it's not just about the u.s. and saudis it it's about the whole of the middle east the main be friending saudi in such a way really meant in a way. to shape the rest of the middle eastern policy how would it affect all the of the relations of all the other countries both saudi and the u.s. well it's showing how very brittle that particular relationship is turning out to be because trump has put all of his cards or his eggs into one basket and that is the saudi basket. his only other real ally israel who is not
12:32 am
a major player in the arab world and the background story of course is that russia has very cleverly taken over the great heartland. of the middle east and east the united states out of the united states doesn't have a long game on this it has become a very short game and this means that for it it's a lose lose on that score because if saudi arabia turns out to be led by someone who cannot anticipate the implications of his actions which we've seen countless times now and seems to feel that it is an element of foreign policy that he can adopt. major players including the prime minister of lebanon and perhaps coach ok this is going to be an ongoing problem i mean lot of been someone in a sense haven't just been welcomed with open arms in the us i mean i would say
12:33 am
a lot of western leaders a lot of western media really welcomed the idea of this reform of the prince you know the women finally driving saudi arabia that got huge amounts of of press coverage and were quite willing to close an eye to other things that were happening in saudi arabia before this which are obviously not the forks over reform or is this the west now sort of paying the price of being i don't know i guess hypocritical seeing what they wanted to see you know finally finding that interlocutor in the middle east that kind of was like then well and it's the answer is yes they were not alone likewise in the middle east he has many allies we see attached to saudi arabia that are impressed by its money and the glamorous leadership of a young reformer however money. ideas that are not backed by solid policies are proving to be a liability and it's very interesting because this whole incident
12:34 am
is probably in my view going to be a game changer we're going to see a sea change here because the. the fact is money can't buy it all and if it comes along with too many problems that people have to go along with they're going to collect their debts eventually they will come back and the opportunity is now open that is not just saudi arabia but qatar will always be there also with a great deal of money and lying further back is always going to be china now that has a broader option to come into the middle east and you're right it could be a game should be very interesting to see i was seeing develops to speak to again about it soon looks on from and from my own lecture of international politics at university of cambridge thank you. well speaking of iran 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 target the best resistance force an
12:35 am
arm of the islamic revolutionary guard corps the treasury also opposed sanctions on a network of businesses that were financing it including iran's millett bank get more now from jordan in washington d.c. arrows what more do we know about this latest round of sanctions.
