i cannot be seen with you in riyadh while the investigation is going on in turkey and i think all others banks corporation and so on so forth will eventually follow because if you are a minutia or you are a liam fox in the u.k. you don't want to be seen in riyadh when the investigation result is being voiced out of hunger or istanbul and you are sitting with those who are accused of murder i mean one of the links that has been made is clearly between this whole episode and the crown prince mohammed bin son and people like lindsey graham in the states that are said he is he is the problem and we shouldn't be dealing with him at what point does that kind of does that link get made do you think by the white house or i mean has it already been made look i think there are two things that we have to distinguish between and there this is very important one is american so did relations the second is american relations with saudi arabia through mohammed bin solomon you see america likes reliable allies trump likes reliable

autocrats he likes cheney it likes putin he loves all kinds of autocrats. but he doesn't like under liable autocrats he like an autocrat to do what autocrats do you know you want to silence is a new silence them you don't make it into an international scandal you want to launch a war in your neighbor yemen you launch a war but you end it you finish it you win it you don't kill countless of people and still continue your way of diplomatic nicety is not to hold the prime minister of lebanon hostage in our country you have a way of resolving a dispute with your neighbor qatar is not to block it it and to threaten to invade it your idea of social opening is not to arrest women who wanted to drive your economic reform should it be marching business men into the ritz and give them a good beating this does not make for a reliable this makes for a fretless reckless i said but given the fact you mentioned all those things and in

some cases yemen there was sort of you know thousands perhaps of civilians who have died in this war and why do you think this particular instance of the one genesee disappears as tip the balance against one of insulin if indeed the balance has been tip is that it is not he still there isn't there are two things one this is the sim question we ask in social sciences about every one of the one incident that just tips the balance why did mohammed was this is death so good the tunisian revolution why did the death of triggered the egyptian revolution because sometimes the death of one person culminates into the entire episodes of cry and repression and oppression and so forth in a one country two i think people's anger just continued to build up over the last three years because of the all of these things i mentioned so the killing of does not replace everything else it sums up everything else except at this time it is

recognizable it's inhumane it is there in our eyes the killing of a journalist who only wanted to write freely. well let's remind ourselves who the man is central mr malcolm chaudry astonishing list was once close to the in the 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 media advisor to prince turki been fired so the prince headed saudi arabia's intelligence service and later served as 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 sound man he told our jazeera in march that he left the kingdom because he didn't want to be arrested just for amnesty international is calling for an urgent united nations investigation into jamal khashoggi its disappearance the reason that

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 recover dozens of bodies there were at least five to six bodies in each of several shallow holes we found here. the diverse station poverty and lack of services in

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 that are 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. that 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 of a better life could be cut short david mercer al jazeera in guatemala city. their ivory coast ruling coalition manages to hold on to its majority it has suffered enough to rebuild trust in the political class. south korea's president meets the pope. and sturrock invitation from kenya. and pakistan edged closer to a series win over straight action from a second test in sport. hello
