12:00 am
well i think the whole point of this is it the whole investigation is unparalleled you just don't have murders in embassies certainly not that anyone's ever heard of before so so it's really difficult for the turks to to deal with i mean they know a lot more than they're letting on actually the turks i think they in the fullness of time they will they will give a much fuller account of this but of course what we've got now is a series of crime scenes including the embassy itself the consul general zz building which has been searched now twelve hours by the way to search that is not not a lot of time if they've been time limited partick unless unless they know exactly where everything is and then they can go in and search that confined area but you'd want to search the whole building generally so so you got that to search you got the vehicles to be searched maybe maybe the airplane if the body was transported an airplane will add to that happen so all these things need to be need to be part of the investigation but you know they came point and this is are the turks going to
12:01 am
get the ability to question those people that are involved those people that came to into turkey to commit this act are they going to be interviewed by the turks how is that going to work because because obviously they're the ones are going to know exactly what happened and they're the ones that need to be spoken to ok well that's right let's let's assume not then let's run some scenarios and assume that they don't get the access that way want that the saudis want to keep a lid on certain elements will we ever get a proper investigation like that is there any other. course or way which can be taken to find out more information given the limits that they can be on diplomatic immunity and the like. well you go wash yourself where is this going to end up usually when you have a murder someone goes to a criminal call they get they get a trial and they get it and go to your innocent. if those people don't come back to turkey then that's never going to happen so so what is going to be the end game here well you know to be quite frank the end game is probably going to be
12:02 am
a much more diplomatic issue it's going to be that it's coming out and saying you did this in a country this is not right and then the world coming together hopefully and saying this is not acceptable what are you going to do about it saudi arabia christiane it's good to talk to you again thanks for staying with us today on al-jazeera. we turn to diplomatic developments in the united states now remember sector state might pump am at the saudi leadership and is now continued on to turkey here is our white house correspondent kimberly how could kimberly take us through the latest developments. yeah well the consensus seems to be from the state department side at least in all the press releases following those meetings with the u.s. secretary of state my pump alun riyadh and then off to turkey that this was a successful mission if you will in the words of my calling it incredibly successful because he says that he has secured from saudi arabia a commitment that anyone responsible for the wrongdoing in the disappearance and
12:03 am
death of jim. will in fact be dealt with but those comments are not playing very well back in the united states because what this appears to ordinary americans and members of congress even members of the president's own republican party is that the white house after being somewhat tough in the words of donald trump as you said promising severe punishment now dialing back those comments sensually almost being involved in the diplomatic cleanup operation so we've been hearing from the top republican in the house of representatives paul ryan speaking on domestic television here in the united states saying if the white house won't act and put in place sanctions the highest level of the saudi government well then congress well first of all it's really disturbing. if this is the case it's atrocious and we have laws for this we recently passed the magnitsky act which is a man who was killed in prison in the russian prison so we have sanction laws on
12:04 am
the books for situations like this so i think these are the kinds of things that we'll be looking at in congress. are going to say you know this was. so should be a new saudi government that was going to be reforming opening up transparency. moderating islam and to see something like this could be a real setback. so the feeling of capitol hill from top congressional leaders from l.a. is that in fact the u.s. president is wildly out of step not only with ordinary americans in their views on the story but also world leaders and so already the global magnitsky act has been triggered but members of congress say what they're going to try and do is continue to encourage u.s. businesses to shine doing any sort of business with saudi arabia and also they're going to take active efforts and measures to try and block the arms sales and those ties those defense links between the two nations thank you for the update kimberly how could our white house correspondent let's recap again on the man at the center
12:05 am
of all of this jamal khashoggi we say his name we talk about him he is a saudi journalist who was once close to the in the circles actually of the saudi royal family and his reputation as a reformist by pushing boundaries and questioning government policies actually in two thousand and three because shoji served as a media advisor to prince turki been fine soldi prince who headed up saudi arabia's intelligence service and later served as an ambassador to the u.s. but last year he went into self-imposed exile in the u.s. after becoming concerned about the actions of crown prince mohammed bin someone actually he told al-jazeera he left the kingdom because he didn't want to be arrested but we've got a kind of mustard here with us who is a saudi just into political satirist in london very pleased we can talk to you today why don't you just give us a bit of background on your own situation first around him about why you left saudi arabia and how long you've been gone for. well i left so the. fifteen years ago. but in the last month thirty fifth of august
12:06 am
i was attacked in a broad daylight in london in front of hundreds and this is not the fittest out to the doctor that i own me or in any opposition up road but it is the fittest attack in its and that has been recorded published or lying and too many newspaper has spoken about it. and since then we didn't two months period that that and that attack i should say. in turkey gives us an indication that so dear a government to go into far to silence anyone who speaks up against them. i think. this is incredible action from the so this they used to do this they have history and
12:07 am
silence in anyone we have. not said i sayed who disappeared from lebanon we have three family member who disappeared from europe and the b.b.c. has made. a documentary about it so the saudis have history of sale and soon anyone who speaks up his mouth and i want to know graeme i'm sorry to interrupt or i just wonder if a moment like this with jamal khashoggi which is getting so much attention and it's drawing so much outrage is it a moment for more saudi dissidence to speak up. like safety in numbers always more of you speaking up and saying this is been going on for years and something needs to be done absolutely. what had been to. said has been happening for
12:08 am
a decade by the sodas. the only difference is gemma disappearance and while i do believe he has been killed and dismembered it's name to nine percent that he has been killed and dismembered and. from what i see an eighty different president. last night that the common prince of saudi arabia mohammed his holy man is. he has no knowledge of what had been and so did consulate but i can read from that he he's trying to frame anyone else and walk out and not take responsibility i would like to tell you that the saudi arabia. of any saudi. nobody can make one action like this abroad without permission from the crown but it's
12:09 am
sort of the king himself right so so actually this is the last one time for me to ask you a question which one of our viewers the sentence to me on facebook they've said how can they prove that the crown prince gave the order and that's a good point given how tight the saudi royal family is is there any way do you think that it can be proven that it came directly from the crown prince even though you say of course that. i don't think they are any one kind of proof it could be a lot of them are with two or one to my head was she was so his big chatter. then europe times has posted an article about him with pictures which he was accompanying cologne but it is in to me near physic so it could be a lot to do with to him to carry our will to this i don't think we will look pain i
12:10 am
didn't come in to wear the crown buttons has assigned. them to carry this action but from my experience any and anyone else nobody has the right to carry this action without a better mission if in the sodium best it out in turkey or if in the foot in minister he can't take action like this without a better machine from hi i don't know but. from this case while i am fairly confident that. money is responsible of this. action but when he was interviewed two weeks ago with bloomberg he did mention the business inside saudi arabia. committing crimes and the being accused of being spies to qatar to others especially the women's whole campaign to gain
12:11 am
women's rights to the right so with the. case we can see it clearly is not their communal and here is not tourists. and we have a question now all this prison arse inside saudi arabia. today distillate what jemma. what so do you say in so jamal is not to. and he has been killed. his body dismembered with a boat so what is going on inside the kingdom this is a question we need to ask and this so we just have to answer. personally i'm pretty sure just finish your thought and then we'll we'll meet as an avon. well my thought is this i would use our specially cullen but as my body is going outrage as we saw in there in the last two months he is committed to well i i say this is
12:12 am
committed to abroad and he will continue to do so he is thinking by signing a contract with the west he can get away with ministers or attack in his opposition side but i think the west should tell him very. clearly that we would make a business with you we would see new arms but we know celyn. you we can't allow you to commit to a broad to kill a journalist and to accuse people of being too artist while the only out there for us and the only item in our tickets. out of here is the host accountable for his actions saudi dissident joining us from london it's great to get your perspective as you say fifteen years out of the kingdom now thank you so much for that lots of questions and lots of comments coming in from you on the hashtag a.j. news did just a few of them before we got a moment to share said justice is hard to come by and this one they'll just burnish it all up and all we'll get is a hushed up version very much what i was saying to us there
12:13 am
a comment from bob who said well they're not surprised by what but i haven't been summoners crew are capable doing it is the way that they've done it and yet the sort of gruesome details that have been coming out particularly in the last twenty four hours it really just points to an extraordinary horrible and jamal khashoggi in a final comment without her name here the world should do something this is a crime that cannot be forgotten and that's a good point to put to our senior political analyst mo and bashar in london you know i actually saw this in a tweet of yours today earlier of mao and saying this is something that we as the media we're now writing part of this final chapter for jamal khashoggi but it's what that person just said advice but it's a crime that can't be forgotten and i wonder your thoughts on the risk of it being forgotten or the risk of it being hushed up or pushed under the rug all in the name of politics and deals in arms. well let's just say from the different reactions from around the world especially from centers of power and
12:14 am
people in power is that now we are two weeks into events that basically i would put it this way and we've heard that before it's that two weeks that shook the world of saudi arabia. these are the two weeks that will be remembered forever and i think that repercussions and the implications will go beyond any cynical calculus whether it's from washington riyadh or elsewhere potentially from istanbul turkey or other corners of the world for those who want to deal from the from from now on not on the basis of human rights and justice not from the basis of telling the truth but rather from. from from more of a money perspective interest perspective selfishness perspective then i tell you this is not going to go down that way not at this point in time not when the crime has been recognized even if it's let's call it the crime of disappearance. at
12:15 am
this point in time will not be will not be forgotten now we in the media yes we in the media we are not just reporting the story we are the subject of the story because after all. she was killed for being an independent free minded journalist who left his country to be able to write freely and became a columnist of sort in the washington post so as we cover the story we are in fact writing the final chapter of the story ourselves because as long as we keep probing as long as we keep asking the hard questions as long as we keep putting the truth to power the truth will eventually come out if not sooner than later and hence we will be the ones will that will be helping writing the final chapters not cynical politicians you know what about all the deals that and might be done you know you
12:16 am
start to wonder if with the sort of comments that might compare after his visit with mohammed bin solomon it almost looks like it's trying to and donald trump's tweets as well i should say it's all trying to sort of smooth the way so that when and if the saudis do finally admit that this happened that it will be dare i say and i don't like saying this a soft landing. well i'll tell you the establishment in the two countries most close to saudi arabia and most influential around the world here the u.k. and the united states the mood has changed dramatically i won't say one hundred eighty degrees but certainly one hundred twenty degrees the idiot orioles in today's press here in in the u.k. as well as the united states look at the editorial of the washington post and the new york times today as well as here in the guardian and elsewhere there's a complete change of mind and change of heart. even the people in the establishment
12:17 am
like the labor party in this country is already demanding severing relations with saudi arabia with this regime and so you have just like the republicans in the united states republican leadership in the senate is asking for more of the same they're asking that the that the relations with this very particular person mohamed bin salomon be severed and that their relations future relations with saudi arabia be dependent on the fact that saudi arabia must do some leadership change and that mohamed mr man needs to step down even the darling of the new york times and at one point at the promoter of mohammed mr mann and that is thomas friedman today wrote in the new york times that mohammed said listen man needs to go and that any other form in saudi arabia is not possible with this person in charge even though just a year ago of course he was selling him as the guru of all reform so the tables
12:18 am
have changed in the media in the centers of power and more on saudi arabia's closest allies now the fact that tom pale the secretary of state of the united states asked mohammed bin sultan to n. vest to get mohammed bin solomon independently and transparently. it's a joke everyone knows it now and bashar our senior political analyst in london thank you it is around six thirty pm in istanbul turkey at the moment these the live pictures from outside the saudi consul general's residence in istanbul not far from the consulate which has already been searched we have seen teams going in. about ninety minutes ago maybe two hours ago would say now when two big vans pulled up in the investigative team went in this is the second part of their forensic investigation and we wait to see what actually comes out from it live pictures from the stand go and just quickly a good edition of the listening post here on this story talking about how his
12:19 am
disappearance sends a chilling message to independent saudi voices people like phantom who we just spoke to and only amplifies the theories of mohamed bin solomons known intolerance for criticism richard gives but at the helm there listening post it is in the program section as i don't as the red dot com. this is the news great if you're with us on facebook live an extra edge of the story coming up for you now about how a man is literally erasing racism from the streets of montreal and then the rest of the day's news and a big story coming out of india some movement in the main movement there we'll have details of that in just a moment. hello get a welcome back we're here krystle we are seeing some clouds particularly out here towards the east we're going to see those clouds pushing with a cold front but over towards the west those clouds are bringing
12:20 am
a few showers to parts of the region we could see beirut at about twenty seven degrees onkar not looking too bad for this time of year at twenty four and then as we go towards friday fairly clear conditions across much of the area and then down here towards kuwait city maybe thirty five degrees is going to be your high well plenty of clouds and rain is going to be the problem especially down here towards parts of yemen sana a little bit cooler in cloudy a few at about eighteen degrees but as we go up here toward central parts of saudi arabia if you notice the clouds right there and maybe a shower or two in those clouds and then as we go towards friday well those clouds start to make their way up here towards doha so potentially we are going to be seeing some rainy conditions maybe a few gusts of winds as well over towards miska it is going to be about thirty degrees for you and then very quickly as we make our way down here towards the southern parts of africa a lot of clouds across much of the region you could see making their way towards durban as well as up towards johannesburg down towards the south cape town really not looking too bad on thursday with attempt a few of about twenty degrees getting a little bit cooler though as we go towards friday and more clouds in your forecast
12:21 am
with a temperature of seventeen. we're . i have dedicated almost my entire professional life so that would eventually one fight against corruption and what i have heard is that we need champions we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this. nominate your own for us from here on shine the light on what they do and to have not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international space award two
12:22 am
thousand and eighteen for more information go to isa war dot com.
12:23 am
headline. coverage in fact on officials and. remember if you are away from the screen you can always quit on. coverage. you have to read it that we can have a look at it. that's what's trending today. on the back here in the past couple of hours the u.n. special envoy for syria has told the security council he's going to step down the november this is stuff and de mistura who has spent years mediating between the syrian government and rebel sides he told the council the situation on the ground is relatively stable but he says he's actually moving on for personal reasons james live at the u.n. for us this one. fair enough james but it's. probably set in this role longer than
12:24 am
anyone else has and maybe had more impact. he's been in the job certainly longer than anyone else over four years in the job a very experienced un official but actually has a pretty young family and a young child and i think he feels that he's given a great deal to this job he's not giving up right now he believes there is one last push from him before he leaves his job at the end of november what he's trying to do this stage is to get a constitutional committee together the idea there is you have members of the government members the opposition and the civil society the civil society component is the controversial thing he's made it quite clear that the syrian government is dragging its feet it won't agree to those names he's making a last trip to damascus next week to draw on push the syrian government he's sitting certainly getting pushback though from the syrian ambassador to the u.n.
12:25 am
is speaking in the security council right now so it's hard to see that now he's already said he's stepping down that he's going to have any more leverage than he's had in the nine months he's been trying to push this idea of a constitutional committee now would you describe the legacy of what he's achieved there as i said james when you pointed out he's stayed longer in the job others before him people i mean coffee and i was in the job at one point and almost gave up at one point that this is too difficult for years what he achieved. well if you look at the whole arc of this job over seven and a half years kofi annan came out with the geneva communique which was supposed to be a way forward for a new transitional governing body for syria ever since that people really nor that idea liked abra he made a second special envoy managed to get both sides to geneva but the syrian government refused to engage so the opposition delegation didn't represent those actually on the ground mr de mistura managed to get a much more representative opposition delegation including members of the fighting
12:26 am
group and at that point the syrian government would not engage with them and the talks collapsed in twenty sixteen so the diplomacy failed because the syrian government the syrian government though didn't get the blame because the tide turned militarily with the help of russian airpower and iran on the ground mr de mistura throughout his four or so years in the job has repeatedly told me in interviews in press conferences there is no military solution in syria but you have to just look at what's happened and revolve the most brutal tactics involved those barrel bombs the chemical weapons on the slaughter on the civilian population in the end there seems to have been a military solution because the assad regime control much of syria james bays our diplomatic editor at the u.n. thank you still with syria and the nessie border crossing between syria and jordan has reopened now that it's obviously good news for syria's neighbors have been hit by the closure of what was
12:27 am
a crucial overland trade but this is also about damascus which is hoping for an end to its political and economic isolation we've got the map here we have a little zoom into the north sea border crossing you'll see it's a pretty major facility on that border there like a big processing center on that side the syrian side and if i just stop the map for a second and come across here you'll see the jobber border crossing on the other side of that border the sort of matching opposing facility on the other side. well. we have got this report here from who's been looking at changes on the board of syria had only one land crossing during the war and that was to lebanon things are now changing for both countries. for the first time in hears lebanese produce will be able to reach far off markets in the gulf thanks to the reopening of the border crossing between syria and jordan syria is trying to reestablish its role as
12:28 am
a regional transit hub. syria wants to end the siege imposed on it what we're seeing is the beginning of the end of its isolation in the arab world there is a recognition that bashar assad is staying in power the resumption of trade between jordan and syria doesn't just improve the economies of both countries it is a step towards normalizing relations after years of tension u.n. peacekeepers have also returned to patrol the demilitarized zone with israeli occupied syrian golan heights. and syria and iraq are planning to reopen their borders following the defeat of in the region government leaders in baghdad who did break ties with damascus say syria shouldn't be marginalized and it must return to the arab pulled. out of the syria is not an intruder in the arab league the way syria should not be marginalized and nobody can marginalize it that it's the other foot but many arab states remain hostile to president bashar assad and the
12:29 am
government leaders may have withdrawn much of their support to the rebellion but are weary of iran's influence. i think for the out of. the conflict it's now not whether bashar assad will stay in power or not but. how much interest they can have with any future syria the syrian leadership are celebrating the reopening of borders as a sign of victory in the war as well as stability but that narrative doesn't reflect the whole reality russia says the international community is no longer focusing on making syrian president bashar assad leave power but the west is demanding what it calls a credible un led peace process that will lead to free elections and until that happens it is withholding much needed money for reconstruction. the united states is even threatening what it calls a strategy of isolation if syria doesn't cooperate on a settlement of the war the reopening of borders is
12:30 am
a step towards ending syria's economic isolation but a longer road lies ahead to regaining international legitimacy. eastern lebanon. now a government minister in india has resigned because at least twenty women accused him of sexual harassment and assault and was a minister of state for external affairs best known in a long list of men to be named in what's been called india's movement the allegations against the sixty seven year old date back to when he was a leading newspaper. he is actually suing the first female journalist who reported him for defamation very interesting development and we've got mandy fish on to talk about it co-director of the center a women's rights organization in india she's on skype from mumbai nice to see you nandita this is a well i mean a government minister actually stepping down over this this is quite a big development yes it's a huge vindication for all the files fighting for women's rights for decades and i
12:31 am
think it so it shows that if so many women come together we can actually bring change and evolution in summary and to ask me to has been a kind of a process like that that you know it is allowed us to bring sexual hasn't it well police in the center of discussion and need to have been abroad in march need to in india has just stepped in how long does this actually date back with m.j. akbar himself i mean twenty women to accuse him of sexual harassment my goodness. you know it's been amazing that it's so many elizabeth quietly just accepting what that happened or what experience they had and have come out. because he started the defamation case that so many women came out and supported the woman who had actually said the first time and i think that's an
12:32 am
important thing that men kind of behave as if they don't remember our they didn't do it completely get into this denial mode and that you know just if you really it's women women to see that you're not going to now keep quiet and more so it's been almost nineteen twenty years even more extraordinary stuff went into shock thank you for that some context and this story out of india today and we've got leah hare as well in the studio because india often responds on mass on social media what you get today they do a lot are saying that me too felt more like a western movement but it's the top ten trend in india now and has more people resign or are talking about it more women are actually sharing their stories and we know me too was a global conversation but you can see just how focused and centralized it is right now in india not to mention the glow that does still continue all around the world now journalist priya ramani was the first to accuse m.j.
12:33 am
akbar of sexual assault here she posted her statement about what she says a car did to her and she posted it on her twitter page then just a few hours ago she tweeted saying that as women we feel vindicated by m.j. akbar's resignation i look forward to the day when i will get justice and court using their again the trending hash tag me to now thousands are now tweeting in defense of her like journalist barkha dutt saying that she's urging all journalists men and women and all supporters of the me to movement to gather in support of priya when the court begins the hearing of the akbar. criminal defamation case now akbar's resignation has empowered other women to come forward and share their stories leading the conversation in this is a tweet from musician shwed appendage she says that she's had to go back to her worst memory as a teenage girl today to write this and to speak up it's now or never she says she then described what has happened to her and names the man that she is accusing
12:34 am
using a hash tag with his name there are now dozens of men with their own hashtags with hundreds of tweets about the mainly from women going into detail about different sexual allegation accounts the me too tweets are echoed with anger that prime minister narendra modi is not doing enough so far modi has not tweeted about this at least not yet if you're in india let us know what you think of this movement if it's empowering or if you think accusations made online is going too far we want to hear what you know with our hash tag as always eighteen is great thank you the russian investigators on describing the killing of nineteen people at a school in crimea as mass murder i'm not terrorism they suspect an eighteen year old encourage went on a shooting spree before committing suicide most of the casualties there were two major step vasan with more now from moscow. a series of dramatic events in the city
12:35 am
of kurds in the east of crimea at a folk training school where mostly teenagers for getting their classes a huge explosion was heard and then also gunshot wounds ambulances rushed immediately to the scene and also military trucks were seen there was a huge concern especially also in moscow where there was speculation about this possibly be a terrorist attack or troops were also sent emergency helicopters were sent. president put in a media off for the wounded to be taken to russian hospitals if necessary he also has offered his condolences and held a one minute silence for the the teenagers mostly who died but also some of the school personnel who are victims of this attack turned out later on when it lasted gaiters had access to the school that there was a body of an eighteen year old student found in the library he's
12:36 am
a fourth grader and they said the he committed suicide it was not clear what his motives are for this tragic event killing his fellow students at this school in the east of crimea of course the city of courage is very sensitive to russia because it is in the annex a to part in crim crimea which is connected recently with a bridge to russia and president putin him self opened that bridge not very long ago so that explains also the panic here in moscow about this that lee event. a chinese state media has released video of internment camps for weekend muslims in the western region of shin jang despite international criticism the government has defended its treatment of the minority community it claims is really educating them so they can be part of a quite modern civilized world up to a million week is have reportedly been put in such camps. yeah it's.
12:37 am
camps reeducation facilities perspective is interesting here the whole narrative has really changed here especially over the years and there's global outrage really about the internment camps with widespread condemnation of the practices you can imagine mainly because the chinese government went from denying the fact that we were muslims were detained in camps then to admitting and officially defending the practice they say it was an effort to bring the weavers into a so-called modern civilized lifestyle now many online are responding to what they call a propaganda narrative of the chinese government they say these internment camps are primarily places of punishment and torture not for learning this person shared a this picture saying that this is the real reeducation concentration camps and what they look like another person saying they're forced to drink alcohol and eat pork they're something no one should be treated like this many human rights
12:38 am
organizations are condemning this as well including amnesty international they say the governor's remarks fly in the face of all available evidence and are an insult to both those suffering in the camps and the families of those who are missing and . we want to know what you think of this especially if you are in china or in the region you can connect with us as always with the hash tag it is get. thankfully in these going to have more as well on the next story ethiopia's prime minister was appointed women two of his government's ministerial posts including the job of defense minister since he took office in april matt has made peace with neighboring eritrea he's created a new ministry to tackle ethnic violence it's all quite impressive isn't it here it is quite impressive it's nice talking to this much throughout the show there is excitement about this as ethiopia joins the ranks of a split female government that's because ethiopia is now the second african country after wanda to have so many women and it's cabinet and it's only one of only
12:39 am
a handful of nations to achieve this around the world now rwanda was the first country in the world to have female majority parliament followed by cuba and bolivia ethiopia's prime minister ahmed said the reform was needed to address the issue that pushed the country in to chaos now but some people including this user say that the government needs to focus more on institutions in not leaders we want to know what you think especially if more women politicians can help in your country you can let us know our hash tag as always it is good thank you live busy day for you isn't it now just a little bit of developments. in fact it's more information from president donald trump he seems to be going on the offensive a little more saying that he is not giving cover to saudi arabia over the missing journalist jamal khashoggi and he also says that he has asked for the audio and
12:40 am
video intelligence from turkey on the missing journalist quote if it exists so don't try questioning whether that exists but if it is there he wants it and he says he's not giving any cover to saudi arabia over these disappearance busy day on the grid here as always here is andy with your sport thank you so much power as a country known for producing top class footballers but over the last couple of weeks a different aspect of all which insane is school seems. has been on show we're into the last day of full competition at the youth the olympic games audience in its football is of course recognized everywhere the country's twice won the world cup final messi is a five time world player of the year but they're less recognizable as an olympic force argentina has won just twenty one gold medals in the history of the games but it's hoped this event can help change that with one hundred twelve million dollars being spent on a range of the celebrities and has been looking at some of the sports other than football hoping for a long term boost. it's difficult to escape football in
12:41 am

hoping that at least some of that will remain here after the games roosting their chances in a whole host of sports other than football. argentine swimming still has a long way to go to catch the dominant nations like the united states and australia but these games have given them a clear idea of what needs to be done but. it gives us the opportunity to see how swimmers from other countries work not just south america but europeans all the powerful swimming nations. football will remain dominant in argentina but the youth the limpid games is introducing and highlighting a whole load of other sports to inspire and excite these youngsters. and. one osiris now to align our concisely say i've never read out before gibraltar or having a better wake an international football than germany. germany lost say once a france in the european nations the first the second loss in four days coming off the back of a pretty disastrous performance of this year's world cup compare that to gibraltar

who picked up competitive wins against liechtenstein and armenia. in tours to keep this. i'm disappointed about the result even if this defeat a different from the defeat of last saturday not because of the result but because of our performance which was very good and i'm very happy about it if. the team played in a coherent way with the rigor they were brave and they continue to go forward themselves i think we're almost at the same level as the team which we can possibly think is the best team in the world right now. not surprisingly social media is reflecting germany's unexpected plight germany have lost six games in a calendar year for the first time in their history or all the shots. he's been in charge for more than a decade now under a huge amount of pressure this from sports writer daniel story. have won more competitive matches in the last four days and germany have won in the last year can we see that sweet i think we can also with

12:50 am
a bodyguard for the saudi crown prince led the operation against khashoggi my her abdulaziz metrobus seen here with mohamed bin some months which apparently made nineteen phone calls with saudi officials on october the second the day khashoggi went missing four of those calls with bin salmond's. private secretary the body guard is also said to have rented a private jet under his name the aircraft is reported to a friend a group of men to stumble fifteen days ago let's start with that. outside the residence of the saudi consul general in istanbul so it took him a while to be allowed in jamal what's the latest on that search. well lower and they have been in there for several hours now as you say it did take more than two weeks for them to finally be given access to the building behind me a couple of hours ago we had the forensic experts we had members of the terrorism
12:51 am
units in the security services to your as well as the deputy director of the attorney general's office. also the turning general's office a team of serious crime investigators all of them descended on the building and several vehicles with a lot of their equipment in the past couple of minutes we saw these blue lights flashing inside that main window there and other kind of windows which we understand is meant to signify some sort of. it's a method used to try and maybe like scan surfaces to see trace elements of blood or the other elements of that that could possibly indicate. whether there is any more evidence that would connect to the consul general himself or even other members of the saudi delegation and the the. case of missing journalists are monocultural to what we understand obviously is that the reason why
12:52 am
you sort the reason why the. the reason why the turkish police were looking to search the consul general home is because based on traffic camera. that they had footage that they had they monitored a vehicle that left the consulate building and went through the house behind me just a couple of hours after. she had entered and is believed to have been killed they wanted to see whether that vehicle had body parts or whether it could hide any other sorts of evidence maybe even the weapon used or something that would give them more details as to who was behind specifically the murder. if it would help piece together the picture that leads to the conclusion that the turks made earlier on that she was indeed killed so they wanted to go into the consul general home obviously one of the main elements here is that the consul general himself actually
12:53 am
left surprisingly without any warning on choose the so even if they were able to establish more evidence that would point or linked directly to the consul general he himself isn't in sarky chimeras have thank you very much indeed meanwhile that president trump has called for video and audio evidence to be made available by taki white house correspondent kimberly halkett joins us live from washington so interesting slightly different approach now from from trying from what we see in the last twenty four hours or so. yeah it seems in the last twenty four hours lauren that he has been dabbling back his comments from the severe punishment that we heard a few days ago there is some tape that should be coming very shortly of the president from the oval office speaking as he was there speaking before pool reporters at an event involving american workers essentially what the president is saying is that the trumpet mr ation is giving turkey space to do this investigation and this comes
12:54 am
on the heels of the visit by the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh what they are saying according to donald trump is that it's likely that we will know what happened by the end of the week he's also as you pointed out asking for the audio intelligence as well as visual intelligence but he adds this caviar if it exists and certainly we have been reporting here in al jazeera that there is audio that is available so a little bit unclear why the president is coming to that conclusion also very firmly denying by the president any suggestions particularly here in the domestic media that this white house is somehow assisting saudi arabia in some sort of a cover up and that is certainly what many on capitol hill even including members of his own republican party as well as editorials in recent days have been suggesting that the president is not going strong enough not sanctioning the highest levels of the saudi government as members of congress are pushing for the
12:55 am
white house to do that it's about balancing out his part of what has been doing to wish through what his mission has been and that's the chief. yeah well so we've had some very high profile meetings in recent days with the u.s. secretary of state he's down headed back to the united states we believe he will arrive thursday morning the latest audio coming from his stop in brussels where in fact he said that he spoke with the turkish leader who says that the saudis are cooperating with the investigation by the turkish authorities there have been some delays apparently but the turks say that they are ready to share with saudi arabia what they found but again the lines coming from the secretary of space state rather is that there needs to be some space in this investigation and again this is where the difference of opinion comes in terms of the u.s. language because of course we're getting very strong language and push for action from members of congress but we're not getting that same language from the truck
12:56 am
white house who as recently as the last twenty four hours we had a tweet from the u.s. president donald trump saying in fact that he had spoken on the telephone with the crown prince and that he still believes the very firm denials that are coming from the crown prince that in no way did he have any knowledge or involvement in the missing this or the disappearance and the death of jamal khashoggi committee how could thank you very much indeed let's remind us about who the man is at the center of all this jamal khashoggi the saudi journalist was once close to the in a circles of the saudi royal family and his reputation as a reformist by pushing boundaries and questioning government policies in two thousand and three became a media advisor to prince turki been pfizer the prince headed saudi arabia's intelligence service and they just served as ambassador to the u.s. but not you went into self-imposed exile in the u.s. after becoming concerned about the actions of crown prince mohammed bin so none. in
12:57 am
march that he left the kingdom because he didn't want to be arrested. i'm joined now in studio by there is senior political analyst at milan bashara so my one how damaging is it for someone to have these tacky alleging that one of the chief suspects in this disappearance of khashoggi is quite closely linked to one instance and that it's terribly damaging and it's terribly damaging or only according to my own opinion. but to the estimate of so many now i think over the last three four days we've heard from the centers of powers in in europe and the united states especially among. soldiers very abuse closest allies they start basements here in the u.k. and in the united states firmly believe now that the. man is somewhere responsible that this couldn't have been done without him although the american president is speaking his own and i will get to that later but for the time being there is
12:58 am
a sort of a conviction now especially in the main media outlets i can't think of a single serious newspaper around the world today especially in the european the united states that's not taking a very clear position that the man is reckless the man is dangerous the man is responsible for this it couldn't have been done without him giving the orders and so on so forth i think the worst part about it for some of those in the media is not only that they've done it they've also been lying about it for the last two weeks as you mentioned trump them he has just said in the last few minutes these are not giving cover to saudi arabia on the missing jet this but the impression has been that they are giving saudi arabia and the crown prince the benefit of the doubt at the moment if if in fact i think we are going to just to have a little listen to there is to that recording that has come in as i'm listening. to read the deal which was one hundred fifty billion dollars or one point eight billion in cash what was that all of that and they are in our we have
12:59 am
a very good allies in the middle east but if you look at some. rabia there an ally of tremendous purchaser of not only military equipment but other things when i went there they committed to purchase four hundred fifty billion dollars worth of things and one hundred ten billion dollars worth of military those are the biggest orders in the history of this country probably the history of the world i don't think there's ever been any order for four hundred fifty billion dollars and you remember that day in saudi arabia where that commitment was made so they're an important ally but i want to find out what happened and where is the fault and we will probably know that by the end of the week but my plan players coming back will that have a long talk wonders if they would have been able to cross the river in virginia why not stay. in your office well he wasn't a citizen of this country for one thing and we're going to determine that and you don't know whether or not we have to fight right now but you know whether or not
1:00 am
we've sent the f.b.i. said i'm not going to tell you what i thought as a person why would i tell you where the rest of the world. we have this war and if it exists we have an answer yet but we've asked for it if it exists. or not i'm not sure yet that it exists probably does possibly. have a full report on that from mike when he comes back with the president that's one of the things i very that's going to be the first question but the president doesn't talk after the midterms about spending being rained down up on the hill i'm curious is there any programs that you'd like to see kind of let me tell you that i'm having a hearing that makes comments from the president trying to make a strong case saying to me bring him back in who is just talking to now to saudi arabia is an airline a tremendous purchases so he will fight against the one hundred ten billion dollars of military equipment that's being sold to them but also saying that we'll probably know but by the end of the week what.
