good enough i wouldn't a thought but certainly if you've got the two buildings linked that means the people that were in one were also in the other that means that you can quite safely say really the two buildings are are part of the and and the body almost certainly moved to the second building i think the important thing here is that we look at the next stage and the next stage is really about a find in the body let's have a look at the body and i'm sure the turkish police want to look at the body see how it was killed i mean whether the toxins were used by the poisons we use whether it was a decapitation cutting up if you like and then also interview and this is the key one interview the people that were there if the saudis have got nothing to hide then really they should be given those people up for investigation and interview and i think that would be the key point are they going to give them up and take send them back to turkey or allow turkey turkish investigators or international investigation team to go to turkey to interview them now it seem on the grown

consulate being told they've also discovered several sets of fingerprints does that mean two things item number one the people who were sent in to clean the building weren't very good at what they did an item number two does that say you positively identify undesirable people who were in the room when something bad happened to this man. what no it doesn't mean either of those two things of course you can leave a fingerprint in any given time but what it does put is the person who's fingerprint is in the building it puts them in that building now that could have been one week ago it could have been two weeks ago it could have been six months ago fingerprints will actually hang around for some time but you're right to say that if they've had a better cleanup team in there as well and they haven't done a very good job or so if they never find the body.

and it looks increasingly like that may be the case it may have been completely incinerated or something by now. we don't know i mean that's that's that's a real issue i think because that's really where you're going to get the bulk of your d.n.a. evidence you can say for sure that you know if there's blood spattering the the way the blood splattering some of are located in a building would tend to indicate a particular type of death unfortunately but what you actually need is the body to see to see what's happened and we don't know and whilst we're getting rumors effectively and leaks from the turkish government or turkish officials we don't really know and i think it's important that. as a world we want to know where this is an interesting story it's it's fascinating to see what what countries or more people are up to and what they're willing to do and i think the investigation team mates to move on it needs to get into the people that were present at the scene and the saudis need to put them up for interview

when it came to the teams going in this time yesterday you and i were talking about you finish off that conversation with us by telling us look you know eleven to twelve hours just not enough time this seems to be a lack of clarity as to whether those teams will go back in again if they go back in again today or tomorrow say what else will they be looking for. what the point is you could you could search a room in that time if you're going to do it really in intricate detail i think i think the key point is if that's a big building and if you're going to search how we don't actually know unless unless of course they've got other intelligence you don't actually know where all the all the terrible stuff was done specifically you might do but you don't know whether things have been transported to other parts of the building so you you need to search all the building to search a big building like that would take days in the absence of a body in the absence of the people who were either told to stay away from the building when we think this might have happened and or people who were involved in

what happened why is it now we're not hearing more about the ordeal in the videotapes that we heard an awful lot about in the first seven days of this all i think this is where the diplomacy in the background is going on i think. that's the key point here and i mean this to be honest this is actually looking like it may end up in a similar situation to that we've had in the u.k. with the scripture case and the litvinenko case where we can and know who did it we can know what happened and how they did it and how they transported in and out the country but if the country doesn't give up the people and done it and maybe even celebrates their actions then then really your you're really struggling to do anything apart from put sanctions on that country or other means diplomatically chris phillips thank you very much. well it's more still to come for you here on the news hour including running away from sanctuary the iraqi government closes

camps for people displaced by years of war. and why many in colombia say higher education needs more government funding. the baseball fans we got a little too close to the story for you in about thirty minutes. hamas has distanced itself from a rocket attack that hit southern israel on weapons to the group's it was an irresponsible attempt to undermine egyptian efforts to broker a new long term truce with israel the israeli military responded by hitting twenty sites in gaza killing at least one palestinian are a force that has more now from gaza. well a quiet night here in gaza defying the expectations of some who might have expected a secondary israeli military response to the rocket fire that took place in the small hours of wednesday morning one rocket reaching the town of bush over some

forty kilometers away from the gaza strip. and really damaging that house the mother and three children inside escaping on her the other rockets falling into the sea southwest of tel aviv israeli security cabinet led by the prime minister benjamin netanyahu meeting until two thirty am this morning as they discussed their next move there are suggestions that the israeli army doesn't want to escalate things into a full scale military conflict indeed there are reports here that hamas which is denying responsibility for these rocket attacks sent a message with egyptian negotiators who left gaza on wednesday for the israelis saying again that they denied responsibility that they were investigating who was responsible and also that they didn't want a military escalation towards full scale war either that leaves open the question who was responsible. has in the past pointed toward salafist groups linked to the islamic state there are also people pointing out the fact that fatah the rival

palestinian faction has its own military brigade here as well but the israelis say that the only people who have this kind of medium range rocket weaponry are hamas and islamic jihad that either such an attack was done without the leadership knowledge or done with the new leadership knowledge to express its frustration at the lack of progress on a truce while still being able to deny it for now the calculations continue. european leaders are meeting in brussels for a second day on weapons and go with the u.k. remained deadlocked over the future of the irish border plans for a special brics that summit in november but being postponed the e.u. says the u.k. prime minister to resign may hasn't provided any new suggestions for resolving the issue john all reports now from brussels. the hopes of doing a break deal with this summit long gone british prime minister to resign may's positive tone on a rival weren't of impressed many here in brussels so what we've seen is that we've sold most of the issues in withdrawal agreements there are still very still the

question of a northern irish backstop but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal done by working intensively and closely we can achieve that deal i believe a deal is it will now is the time to make it happen. may spent less than half an hour addressing her fellow leaders on the status of exit talks before they went into dinner without a further sign of the u.k.'s growing isolation within this bloc he presented them with no new ideas to break the current deadlock so there wasn't much to discuss e.u. leaders are running out of patience with britain just as britain is running out of time they called off a planned emergency summit in november judging that insufficient progress has been made to expect a deal by then it looks that still we do have a lot of discussions and i'll try not to approve man told this stance on what u.k. wants to and instead of difficult for the european side to negotiate with their

person who has no full support of the position they know she's politically weak at home to reason may has bowed to different factions in her government and parliament rejecting the e use plan for a backstop or insurance policy against a future hard boarder on the island of ireland. they insist it's non-negotiable and there's more and more talk about all of this ending in no deal disruptions of borders tariffs on trade british passport holders requiring visas and work permits on the continent. there is one new idea doing the rounds the a use potential willingness to extend the so-called transition period after britain leaves the e.u. allowing a full three years for trade talks to take place before that thorny issue of the backstop applies it might soften some opposition to the backstop hardly imaginative thinking at this stage but possibly all they've got the prime minister and others

stressed that a deal is ninety percent done but on the problem of ireland they're still miles apart jonah al-jazeera brussels the iraqi government has started closing camps for thousands of people displaced by years of conflict but aid workers say security forces are forcibly returning civilians to unsafe areas in the predominantly sunni and province has the story this is the come point tonally displaced people in iraq's anbar province at the height of the military operations against i still in two thousand and fifteen it was home to seven thousand people. government officials have come to see it closed. and i'm out of the last hundred fifty or so families that it remained here finally returned home we've closed it as part of a government program to resettle all i.d.p. camps. it's a program criticized by aid workers who say it's happening too quickly and it's

still too dangerous. more than three million people hundred ton to their homes by the middle of the sea but more than two and a half million others are still displaced according to the international organization for migration. mohammed jassim was one of those brave enough to go back home but his family house was destroyed in the war so mohammed is living in a tent some of his relatives are here to help him a little while. our situation is desperate there's nothing to salvage from our home it's not a home anymore actually we urge the government to pay us the compensation it promised. others complained they have to live with the threats from booby traps unexploded bombs and other devices on the health risk posed by the decomposed bodies that lie on the land where their houses once stude the only way i want to go about it was for a whole day earthmoving machines have been excavating the rubble in my compound and recover dozens of bodies there were at least five to six bodies in each of several

shallow holes we found here. the diverse titian poverty and lack of services in areas that are kept up from i saw how forced many to choose to stay in the comps for others it is in their comically viable to leave some have been able to set up barber shops all fruit stands at makeshift markets making about fifty dollars a month unable to put up with a lot of basic services when they have returned home many have been forced to go back to comes. open for them the fall and desperate search for sanctuary continues mohammed at all just the era of that now the man the united nations put in charge of trying to bring peace to syria has announced he's leaving his job the u.n. special envoy staff and in a storable step down at the end of november the seventy one year old says he's moving on for personal reasons the matter go to james bays. when he took the job over four years ago stephan de mistura described it as almost mission impossible

now after seven years of war with over twelve million people displaced from their homes in syria and over half a million killed he told the security council he was stepping down with a peace deal far from sight let me old to give you some heads up if i may. i would myself be moving on as of the last week of november mr de mistura tried everything from local truces to meetings of key international players in twenty sixteen he managed to get syrian government representatives to geneva to meet with a delegation that for the first time represented many of the opposition elements including key fighting groups this promising opportunity stuck to me its tracks by military action during the talks by syria and its russian ally therefore taken to fish him to bring him dirty for them dirty for did it not there and if

not the fate of haven't they basically formed your top. i am not referring to all military activities. it was russian air power and iranian forces on the ground that change the balance of power the russians then began to pushing talks first in a starter then in such as a rival to mr de mistura as geneva process in over four years at press conferences and in interviews they seem to one thing that was your mantra there is no military solution and yet in that time we've seen starvation used as a weapon we've seen repression including torture we've seen aerial bombardment including barrel bombs we've seen the repeated use of chemical weapons the syrian government clearly didn't believe you and it now controls most of the country so it did have a military solution to didn't it. you see i work for the u.n.

and i've been working for the u.n. now forty eight years in twenty two borth or mission conflict area i have learnt one thing and i know defectors in a few very strong elective what matters if winning the peace mr de mistura isn't finishing quite yet he's making a last trip to damascus next week to persuade the syrian government to accept a finalize list for a constitutional committee they've been dragging their heels on that for nine months it's unlikely his decision to quit will give him any more leverage jamesburg days out zero of the united nations. in a moment we'll have the weather for you with rob mccallum but also still ahead here on al-jazeera protests in haiti over the possible misuse of billions of dollars meant to help the poor. while there were calls in the u.s. for places where people can use illegal drugs under supervision. and in sport we'll

hear from the french world cup winner who took a trip back to the place where his football story all began. from a fresh breeze. to watching the sunset on the australian outback. however over the last week the desert country of yemen this one here has had rain in virtually every part for yes it is a desert country and as you well know you ban cite i went over it even yesterday it was raining in sana'a the capital and that's of course quite a long way in from where the dubai where cycling landed so we still got significant rain not just because we've changed the weather tight for the whole of the middle east is undergoing the transition that many other places going into what you might call the autumn we can call the rainy season if you like this is the satellite

showing showers building again there in djibouti yemen saudi arabia not a huge amount falls all rain gauges but locally even that america can produce some flash flooding and we had showers even this morning in cattle or thunderstorms at least and it's quite possible see a similar sort of story over the next twenty four hours but the yemeni mountains weston sorry and again and possibly encounter that takes us to friday as i said the whole part this whole part of the world is undergoing these changes season because the monsoon rains are going south and even in india you no longer see the south when small and soon you know the northeast monsoon coming in which will be lasting throughout the winter that sort of breeze should bring rain to sri lanka tamil nadu karnataka and it's doing just that. the weather sponsored by qatar and race. we're. i have dedicated almost my entire professional life to

the bench and fight against corruption and what i have learned is that we need choppiness we need also to shine the light on those shampoos and this award bridges that gap that existed in this. nominate your own version of your own child the light on what they do and do it not shine a light on your hero with your nomination for the international space award two thousand and eighteen for more information go to isa war dot com.

you're watching this is the news. this hour your headlines turkish investigators looking for evidence linked to the disappearance of the journalist jamal. completed searching two saudi diplomatic buildings in istanbul turkey sources have told al-jazeera quote important samples have been found. in the u.s. democrats are putting pressure on the president over his response to the case has been reluctant to criticize the saudi leadership despite mounting evidence linking riyadh to disappearance. e.u. leaders are meeting for a second day in brussels the european union is calling on the u.k. prime minister to provide suggestions to stall talks to progress because the

deadlock over the future of the irish border. summit in november. well during weapons days gathering in brussels the case of jamal who was mentioned when asked by journalists to comment the president of the european parliament and honey expressed his concerns. is freedom of these for me it keep to defend their place everywhere in europe. is important to everything on this always the. to kill. people in bhutan casting their ballots in a runoff parliamentary election more than four hundred thousand registered voters are electing forty seven members to the national assembly royalist and center left parties are facing each other in the runoff barkha is in part in bhutan with more. it's a country of rich cultural and historical importance and was until early two thousand

and eight a monarchy that's until ironically the previous king ordered it be changed to democracy and that change has largely been wholeheartedly and enthusiastically embraced although i think it's fair to say there's a degree of nostalgia about the old ways of doing things and brace enthusiastically perhaps largely out of respect ironically too for the monarchy itself there are seven hundred fifty thousand people in the country half a million eligible voters and many of them are voting in polling stations like this up and down the country some in very very remote areas indeed and there are two parties on the ballot paper the d.p.t. and the d n t the d.p.t. were the first party of power the first party to form a government after the transition to democracy in two thousand and eight the d.n.c. have never played a role in government before and hoping to shake up the political landscape here in the country there isn't much politically between the two parties but the center of all political life here ideologically and bhutan is the pursuit of happiness as

opposed to measuring this sort of sense of the nation through g.d.p. they measure it through gross national happiness that could roughly be translated as good governance and finding a balance between economic and industrial growth with the protection and love the abundant environment here in the country it's one of the few nations in the world where sixty five percent of all the land here in trying to the constitution needs to be forest is the only country to be carbon negative these are some of the issues at the forefront of people's minds as they cast their votes these president when jenas to meet pope francis of the vatican shortly moon is expected to hand deliver a message from the leader of north korea kim jong un inviting the head of the catholic church to visits pyongyang rodman brought reports from seoul. as he delivers the invitation to the vatican president mungy. if south korea wants more

finds himself playing the role of mediator. and if pope francis agrees to the visit it will be one of north korea's biggest diplomatic achievements yet in breaking out of international isolation. the pope visited south korea in twenty fourteen when he was greeted by a million people on the streets of seoul that visit was evidence of the south's vibrant religious life. contrast that with the north where christian worship is officially restricted to just four churches in pyongyang one of them a catholic cathedral. but critics say it's just for show and that in reality christians routinely face persecution for their beliefs even death north korea's persecution of christians has no rival on the earth it is unforgiving systematic unyielding and often fatal it's

a view supported by many organizations including the un in a country so dominated by the cult of the ruling kim family there is little room for any other type of devotion but some religious leaders in south korea believe in this unprecedented period of reconciliation even that may be changing south korean archbishop kim he took part in last month's summit visit to north korea by moon j.n. culminating in the visit to mount peck do and he's welcomed the prospect of closer ties between north korea and the vatican. north korea's former leader kim il sung is known to have also attempted to secure a papal visit nearly thirty years ago thank you if kim jong un succeeds where he's grandfather did not it will be another landmark in a remarkable gear of diplomatic firsts robin wright al-jazeera sold.

the afghan army has been confronting its biggest challenge for years how to defeat the taliban thousands of soldiers and civilians to have lost their lives in the long war you know army's new challenges securing polling stations for saturday's parliamentary elections following taliban threats to bomb them and kill candidates reports now from the capital kabul. afghan army cadets celebrating their graduation their excitement may soon give way to anxiety as the new soldiers are likely to be sent to the front line but this is my country i must defend i have no fears i have taken an oath to serve and defend. this graduation ceremony in kabul was held earlier than planned the army stretched and more soldiers are needed to secure polling stations nationwide through all the years the u.s. and other countries have spent billions of dollars training afghan security forces

to lead operations when all foreign troops pull out of the country a goal that has eluded afghan military commanders now they are faced with the harsh reality that taliban is gaining ground and launching more attacks across the country. this is the moment when taliban fighters ambush an army convoy soldiers respond with a coordinated assault to kill that anime's. it's only a mock training drill the reality on the ground is tougher and predictable taliban commanders have intensified attacks during election campaigning to target candidates and security forces read jess asking people the war polling station in our national security to portis is ready to protect you in the process. since the

fall of the taliban government in kabul seventeen years ago u.s. and nato troops have played a crucial role in training and equipping the afghan army the goal is to eventually see afghan security forces taking over military operations nationwide and when the ice of mission end it there were almost one hundred forty thousand nato troops in this country we're now down to some sixteen thousand. all the work from the remaining more than one hundred thousand has been taken over by the afghans so we are very confident that they can fulfill their tasks president donald trump has repeatedly said he won't commit to any plan to expand or prolong the u.s. military operation in afghanistan that leaves the afghan army to bear the brunt of defeating the taliban and restoring stability has

a. couple. tens of thousands of colombian students. on the streets for the second time in a week protesting against cuts they say are threatening cation. reports now from. marching bands and. public university students look very much like a carnival but the reason behind it was dead serious. public universities have reached a point of no return if the government doesn't object to funds it needs many universities to shut down. students and professors have been for a week this was the second major rally over in other cities across the mending and increasing budget public universities need a billion us dollars just to keep functioning. when we simply don't have the money to keep paying for and receive new students next year we need to guarantee access

to public education the number of students at public universities has increased tenfold in the last two decades while resources of lag behind so universities are now facing a huge operation and the infrastructure deficit six billion dollars at the national university campus and some buildings. risking collapse there's already have been demolished. dean. of the pedagogical university studying the hunger strike inside campus he says his students are among the poorest in the country and can't be left behind many of our students don't have enough to pay for lunch they are subsidize their lunch for thirty cents of a dollar the same with braces that's very little yet we are unable to continue doing it the result will be losing our students. under pressure the government is promising to crease public university resources by almost five hundred million

dollars in the next two years critics say the measure will fall way short of the mark i wonder. if you destroy public education you're condemning the country to a lack of real progress through knowledge and of course you increase inequality because education is the best instrument we have to help poor people access better jobs and salaries but in the end time might be against the protesters the colombian congress that you see behind me is expected to vote on the national budget next saturday oct twentieth the government says there's no time to find more money for public education but students promise they will continue fighting until the ends get. processed in haiti have become violent with thousands of people accusing the government of stealing money patients want to know how billions of dollars from a venezuelan sponsored oil assistance program was used the fund was supposed to provide social care and to improve public services like
