one point seven billion dollars worth of sales of british arms to saudi arabia two thousand and seventeen alone are also very valuable intelligence ties helping to thwart plots on european soil with saudi intelligence contacts or to stand behind the much trumpeted sort of global rules based system of values that the e.u. so often claims to stand for pushing everything else to one side will have a say on a political level the reaction is certainly stepped out but there is a very much a sense still that they need to wait they need to see the results of authority international independent investigation i caught up with donald tusk the president of the e.u. council a short while ago this is what he had to say. we need an open transparent and investigation it's all in the best interest of the fourth or the other what action to do to. to make the situation clear what actions you see resist if state involvement is proven. we need more time here

because it's of course it's still too early to assess with really with both of those first of all or all. of the question. so they need more time says donald tusk other nations signaling the same some countries taking steps immediately on that investment conference in riyadh next week what might happen after that with complete findings from an investigation about a merkel ally speaking in berlin on wednesday said this europe may have to adjust its relations with saudi arabia but not just china how thank you very much indeed. russian president vladimir putin has also spoken about khashoggi his disappearance but he says he needs all the facts before considering any action against saudi arabia. first of all we should wait for the results of the best of cases how can we russia is start to spoiling our relationship with saudi arabia without

knowing what in fact happen there. so who is the man at the center of all this jamal khashoggi saudi journalist was once close to the inner circles of the saudi royal family he earned his reputation as a reformist by pushing boundaries and questioning government policies in two thousand and three khashoggi became a media advisor to prince turki been pfizer the prince headed saudi arabia's intelligence service and later served as ambassador to the u.s. but last year it went into self-imposed exile in the u.s. after becoming concerned about the actions of crown prince mohammed bin son martin he told i was there in march when he left the kingdom because he didn't want to be arrested still to come out as zero for a taliban attack kills one of afghanistan's most powerful security officials but it was a u.s. general who was the target. and donald trump threatens to deploy the military as a launch migrant caravan makes its way towards the us through central america.

however the right has not gone away yet from china it's still there just coming off the south coast but it's curling back up into the west new season the crowd is going this general directions are once more the influence of the changing weather further north i think is beginning moisture allowing more shit to form itself into right in situ on the keep going east was towards one hand you will notice the temp change isn't great because it was still feeding moisture up from the sides and that rains also hitting the north western side of vietnam but the monsoon to the west of the east making a proper descent south was admittedly we do get late season rain of course as reintroducing the northeast the monsoon theoretically should be this side of india they get to the rain well it is coming in now so will be to some degree seven

hundred ish but still you'll notice carola answer line care they get very much of rain the next day or so curious maybe for kara given the wind direction that's how it is it's still up in the thirty's for most places but the weather is now less humid and of course dryer. interestingly opposite position position in the arabian peninsula got the remains of blue band still producing rain west in yemen and the chance of further thunderstorms in count on the usa exists through friday and saturday. in the sun belt on the boat. in the july. in the country it's in. if you go talk to. you will see dad soon. to be. my night to produce first remember.

my nigerian women are strong we need. my mind on al-jazeera. a lot of the top stories are nonzero u.s. treasury secretary steven menuhin says he won't attend next week's investment conference in saudi arabia the u.k. netherlands and from civil so pulled out ministers as pressure grows on saudi arabia over the disappearance of journalist jamal khashoggi. comes a sector set my pump am stressed the u.s. is taking trees disappearance very seriously but without saudi arabia more time for an investigation to be completed. and back in istanbul investigators are now

turning their attention to the fifteen member saudi hit squad which they suspect carried out the killing the group is said to include a body gone to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin. the taliban has claimed responsibility for an attack in southern afghanistan that killed three top officials the governor of kandahar province his top intelligence officer and police chief all died in the attack which happened just moments after they met their senior u.s. commander in the country the taliban say u.s. general scott miller was the target but he managed to escape unharmed. seem creased a concern about the security situation in afghanistan ahead of elections on saturday . joins us live now from kabul so hashim this sounds like a very serious attack indeed because in one single

government loses we senior people based in kandahar the top local police command intelligence chief and also the governor and usually those people play significant role in the fight against the taliban general all of that as for example as the police command has been on the top of the hit list by zero four by the taliban for the last few years he has escaped many suicide bombing attacks and his father was killed in an attack by the taliban and has been a staunch opponent of the taliban saying that the only way out of the crisis in afghanistan is to defeat the taliban is quite serious at the same time because it shows that the taliban are still able to infiltrate and recruit people who work with senior officials across the country in afghanistan this is definitely going to pose further challenges for the americas for later and for the afghan government and what aren't afghans who must already be concerned about the security situation and head of election on saturday how does it affect them. well definitely those who

are watching the news all the local t.v. stations in afghanistan tonight will be pretty much concerned they will watch all those developments about the top commanders in kandahar killed right after a meeting with a top u.s. military commander there was sort of asked many questions about the future of the country and also about whether it's safe or not to go to the polling stations on saturday if this comes also gets a backdrop of the with peter statements made by the taliban over the last few days that they are determined to target polling stations on saturday they want people to stay away from the polling stations saying that the elections are politically motivated and used by the international community to further expand its influence in in afghanistan so we're talking about a very critical moment for afghanistan and this is definitely going to raise concern among the afghan people particularly those who were hoping that this saturday election could. in you're in afghanistan. thank you very much indeed

a center left party has won be terms that runoff parliamentary elections final results show that the d.n. tea party won twenty six seats in the national assembly on the royalists d.p.t. party won twenty one seats is the country's third election since embracing democracy back in two thousand and eight the us president has threatened to deploy the military and close the country's southern border if mexico can't stop a large migrant caravan from ten thousand to enter the us several thousand migrants including hundreds of children set off from honduras last week and a travelling on foot through central america they've arrived in guatemala city where david messer reports. some people here are calling it an exodus more than a thousand migrants fleeing hundred on foot arrived at a migrant sheltering guatemala city on wednesday a group of migrants set off from honduras last week and the caravan has since grown

rapidly people hope that traveling is a group who help protect them from robberies assaults and kidnappings on route to mexico in the united states a voyage many say they've been forced to make let's get get out more than anybody but we don't want to go and invade their country but hunger and the needs of our children oblige us to do this we don't want to abandon our nation i didn't want to come here but we've been killed little by little i hope people can understand the. staff at the privately run shelter say they've already provided food shelter and medical assistance to around two thousand migrants and they expect thousands more to arrive at the shelter in the coming days neither tropical heat and seasonal downpours nor threats of detention from security forces have deterred the migrants . and i think it was a really hard decision to come i have two small children one and two years old but

we're doing this to avoid more suffering. president donald trump has threatened to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to honduras guatemala and el salvador if the migrant caravan isn't stopped and turned around but for the people who are escaping a region beset by gang violence poverty and corruption such threats have little meaning. it's a troubling action because the poor have never benefited from this aid not from the alliance for prosperity more from free trade agreements basically those who are rich benefits while the poor are excluded and so they continue to migrate. more hundred migrants are arriving here by the minute both say that they're going to stay in the shelters for the night to rest up before heading towards the mexican border that's a journey that's more than two hundred fifty kilometers long and with a lot of rain in the forecast it's going to be a difficult journey with little to lose these migrants say they're determined to push north regardless of what stands in their way but with the trumpet ministration

intent on stopping the caravan before it reaches the u.s. border their dreams but better life could be cut short david mercer al jazeera in guatemala city. iraqi government has begun closing camps which have been home to thousands of people displaced by years of war but aid workers say it's too soon and civilians are being forcibly returned to unsafe areas and they predominately sunni and province ramadan reports from baghdad. this is the point tonally displaced people. at the height of the military operations against eisel in two thousand and fifteen it was home to seven thousand people. government officials have come to see it closed. at the moment of the last hundred fifty or so families the remains 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 have returned 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. out of 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
