past statements on the campaign trail very openly saying that saudi arabia has bought a lot of things from him over the years so democrats are hoping to investigate that while they're in the minority party probably not to be a lot of traction on that but that is the question that we're hearing from both republicans and democrats on both sides of capitol hill senator tim kaine just tweeted out basically that that this is an insulting explanation. of virginia resident of his state and so that seems to be the main theme we're hearing from congress as this is not believable and that there has to be some sort of consequences new thing that we're seeing on twitter or politicians saying if mohammed bin solomon and saudi arabia are proven to have any connection to this and there are consequences will the everyone across the globe will be emboldened to continue attacking journalists and dissidents so that's the message from capitol hill but again president really from the beginning of this has been looking for

a reason to believe the saudis. u.s. president donald trump spent the day checking out america's most advanced weapons of war and as he sat down to talk to defense contractors this is what mattered most even as saudi arabia admitted killing u.s. resident and journalist jamal khashoggi they wanted four hundred fifty billion dollars it's never been anything like you know just the last thing i want to do is say we're not going to you know we're not going to supply you with those numbers are actually not true the white house cannot point to any evidence that saudi arabia is actually spending anywhere close to that amount of money for many members of congress they say it's not about the money they say the saudis story just doesn't add up their story doesn't pass the smell test and i think it's high time for congress to recalibrate our relationship with saudi arabia close advisor to the president senator lindsey graham seemed to point the finger at mohammed bin solomon

in this tweet writing first we were told mr khashoggi supposedly left the consulate and there was a blanket denial of any saudi involvement now a fight breaks out and he's killed in the consulate all without knowledge of crown prince the president has made clear he wants to talk to the crown prince he wants to wait for more facts many in congress say it's time to act and the outrage in the united states is mounting the circumstances here are horrifying and the pressure from congress is going to be very great particularly now with an election coming up members of congress going to fall over each other trying to be the toughest in the loudest in saying we have got to do something we've got to punish the saudis the president is reluctant to do that but he may be cornered the president has signaled that he wants to wait would rather not punish saudi arabia with severe sanctions but if congress disagrees it's likely the president will not have the final say patty is that enough bipartisan support within congress to force the president's

hand on this. well they've already invoked the make minsky act twenty two senators bipartisan eleven from both sides sent this letter to the white house basically invoking this law which says the president has four months to germ determine if. human rights were violated if so by whom and how and then it is the white house is supposed to recommend sanctions now the president can resist that but we're seen people on capitol hill both parties saying that's not ok that they're going to pursue this they could look at legislation and there's been a couple of different tracks they're talking about one of the most common tracks we're hearing is sanctioning officials that could have been involved that could also involve forfeiting assets here in the united states there's talk about basically canceling those defense contracts and even though the president keeps blowing up the figure that's not even remotely close to true that the senate senators can individually stop those weapon sales those arms sales individually and

to have already said they will do that and then there's another thread that's starting to pick up steam and that is that senators and congressmen are saying that it is time for the u.s. military to simply stop aiding and abetting saudi arabia's coalition campaign in yemen don't forget the u.s. not only provides targeting information but critical refueling ability in the skies over yemen it's not at all clear that saudi arabia and its coalition if you continue the pace of the body campaign in yemen if the u.s. was to pull its assistance now the again the president might not want to do that but he is just one of three co-equal branches of government and if there's enough bipartisan support in congress that it could override a veto frankly there's not much the president can do i think an important factor in this that maybe isn't being talked about enough is that this is not fading from the headlines this was a journalist this was an intellectual elite with many powerful friends here in washington d.c. . editor of the washington post has just tweeted out that this is the worst cover up he's ever seen how come it took seventeen days to come up with this story so

don't expect this to fade from the headlines remember he was a journalist and he was a u.s. president on too much time lines here parties that help us out the results of the investigation to come what sort of timeline is congressional action looking at. well they can wait for the one hundred twenty days to come back to make its case active they have to say that this is in the headlines a lot but it's about to be eclipsed somewhat because the midterm elections are coming up so it could fall out of the headlines for a time because obviously the entire country is going to folkestone who controls the house and the senate after january once they take that vote november sixth but it is so they could wait for that they could wait for the finance for the white house or if enough senators and congressmen simply say no we're not waiting we're going to go ahead with our own legislation they could do that i can tell you the overall reaction all over the cable news all over the newspapers has basically been the president standing alone on this pretty much every politician that's talking is

saying this doesn't make any sense the story doesn't add up and many are even calling it insulting and saying this the saudis think we're stupid so there is a growing. anger i think from lawmakers about this explanation so if the saudis were hoping that this would move everything over seems really the only person who's been comforted by their words are president donald trump. from washington d.c. . well that's this now to how saudi state media announced death. at the legality of. the first investigation by prosecutors regarding the disappearance of saudi citizen jamal khashoggi shows a discussion between him and the people he met while he was at the saudi consulate in istanbul led to an argument and quarrels. which caused his death saudi prosecutors announced that the investigation regarding the scase is still ongoing

with the rest of eight hundred saudi nationals in order to reveal what took place for the public and punish those responsible in this case and take them to justice. the washington post says shoji was no one's enemy and that all the journalist was trying to do was fog open debate about important issues here's what we know from all walked into that consulate on october second and he didn't walk out. the saudis know what happened so the idea that we need days and days of investigation and forensic work and it's ridiculous just tell us what happened. and. in my opinion you know united states government that was committed to the values that we should be standing up for would be saying that. we wouldn't be sending people over . smile next to the crown prince. we wouldn't.

be raising ridiculous theories about rove operators we would be saying we need the facts we need them yesterday and then we can figure out what the right policy. we've heard from the united nations secretary general antonio tatters he released a statement about the new details that have emerged he says he's deeply troubled by the confirmation of who should g.'s death and extends his condolences to his family and friends he stresses the need for a prompt far and transparent investigation into the circumstances of who should g.'s death and full accountability for those responsible. is the executive director of the arab center of washington it was german friend saudi arabia's explanation doesn't add up. that doesn't make sense. it's just mind boggling that after all this preparation and revisiting the issue that they will

come up with a story like that. there are tapes frankly and i hope that turkish government soon would release those states and they are both and video even though they deny the existence of that video at least one of the agencies in turkey does have that and has shared only a small segment of it with us counterparts just the last twenty four hours that video shows exactly what happened was entered the building he met for a few minutes with the consul general to discuss his papers that he needed and he was immediately attacked by a gang of killers that were sent specifically to stumble to actually liquidate him it wasn't an accident of death it wasn't a fist fight to the point where the consul general on tape is allegedly screaming please do not do it here you are getting me in trouble end of quote the

intelligence community has been the leading institution involved in this crime. firing of the five top leaders. of that institution is justified but i'm sure they need to be investigated and they need to be restructured. they shouldn't be engaging in a crime of this crime of this magnitude however to put them how mad pencil man in charge i mean to have his like you know what and the facts and in charge of the hen house it is unacceptable morally it is unacceptable legally i believe and i agree with human rights organizations worldwide that call today for a transparent independent open and. situation into this crime preferably by united nations agency and to go after the perpetrators

of course you know even the saudis admit that they have eighteen people in custody that's fifteen plus they have more apparently they need to pursue this matter seriously because frankly this has become an existential conflict for the kingdom of saudi arabia. dannii is the role court advisor has among one of five people who've been sacked in a previous tweet here outlined how he saw his role he said do you think i do anything on my own i'm just an employee and carrying out orders from the king and the crown prince karen greenberg is director of the center on national security at fordham university school of law she says saudi arabia's explanation of what happened to john marshall g. is insulting. they knew they had to come up with a story and this is what they think is the best story for their purposes that they can come up with and i think the response to that has to be whether it's from the

white house or from the media or from the expert community is that that's not good enough the story that flies have to meet a with the facts and the has to be part of an investigation the more than the person accused of leading this effort and this murder is it has to be an investigation by somebody other than him and his forces and so it's at very least insufficient but it's also insulting it's really a question of saying what you so what you heard what's been leaked a few facts that we do know you can push those aside because here's our story and worse to keep sticking to it and i think it is in a word insulting this story could have gone and maybe could still go two different ways one would be a consolidation of mohamed bin some months of power within the kingdom another way it could have gone was to be the straw that broke the camel's back so the speak and there could have been other forces inside saudi arabia perhaps that

could have gotten the king to maybe push aside his son because this really is unacceptable around the world so that's two ways it could have gone today's news make it really think that the king is not going to push back against mohammed in selma on and that's really quite a problem there are many inside. the united states there are many around the world who would have thought differently about the king and what he might have done given the fact that they were presented to him this is a brutal horrifying pointed assassination of a journalist who had strong ties to the west and who was a resident of the united states so you know each one of those. boces enough itself is a line that you wouldn't have expected. the king to have allowed the crossed so we don't know exactly what kind of mental capacity has right now but this is

surprising and it could have gone the other way but it doesn't look like it's going that way therefore to your question what should the world and not its states do and i think it's going to have to be more than just the united states at this point is a demanding investigation how they're going to do that i don't know but in the end of investigation that is not done by the intelligence service or the leadership of the kingdom was pulls from andrew manjoo. he was most of all it takes a look back it is often to. for more than thirty years jamal khashoggi enjoyed a privileged position within the saudi royal circle in large part echoing the kingdom's views but also taking risks operating from within to push the boundaries when it came to reform that risk taking would eventually draw the anger of the kingdom's heir apparent. the one time insider crossing the red line hits so skillfully tried in the past daring to criticize the crown prince mohammed bin

salma i still see him as an informer but he is getting old poet within his hand and it would be much better for him to allow a bidding space for the critic for the intellectuals for the right to sort of the media to debate the most important needed transformation going in the country. past wasn't without controversy an advisor to saudi intelligence chief turki al-faisal helping saudi intelligence in afghanistan alongside the much i had seen on osama bin laden an advocate of political islam through the muslim brotherhood but he also championed reforms even praised the crown prince for enacting them but last year he went into self-imposed exile in the united states for comments that angered the saudi leader. seen here with the missing journalist last year has known and worked with the shoji for at least thirty years he was not necessarily

a dissident i disagree with that description he was a loyal saudi citizen he had his own vision of what the country should be doing that type of freedom needs the type of reform it needs and maybe in the final analysis that's what got him in trouble because of it jamal khashoggi hasn't been seen for two weeks in that time the world's attention has turned to the activities of the kingdom and more broadly the arab world that has questioned all their governments virtually do anything they want with there their citizens. put them in jail but deny them work sometimes you think you are going to citizenship of that process of widespread continuing deep or talk or see abuse of power across the arab world is not addressed the ramon which will do you will be doubly tragic. a saudi journalist with a platform a columnist for the washington post regular spots in u.s. and international t.v.

channels almost two million followers on twitter that someone so high profile could vanish without a trace is shocking it will also have a chilling effect on those who wish to follow his example dorsett jabari al-jazeera . and the saudi activist based in seattle washington state she hopes the global outcry over death will make a difference i think a lot of activists especially abroad feel this sense of urgency and responsibility to for voice their opinions about what's going on back home. as you know many of the activists who are speaking out were arrested and detained and their voices have been silent so it's up to us living abroad to actually bring their voices back to the stage and use this platform to voice our concerns for their safety and the safety of others as well i am truly hopeful i am i am hopeful of this by president

trumps remarks and all of that i am very hopeful that you know at least the outrage the outcry the global outcry will make a difference over all and the status of human rights in saudi arabia if not for anything just the fact that these voices are heard and the world is now watching i think it makes a huge difference. before we move on to other news that's remind you the latest developments the case of saudi journalist in saudi arabia has confirmed her job she was killed inside the consulate in istanbul it was last seen entering the building seventeen days ago u.s. president donald trump says he thinks saudis announcement on the hearthrug he is a good first step he says what happened was on except the robot thinks the saudi version of events is credible riyadh says a fight broke out between her shoji and people in the consulate he died during the fight riyadh his sacked top intelligence official

a royal court advisor and three others eighteen saudis have been arrested a few hours ago turkish president of the on and the saudi king solomon discussed the case by phone they emphasize cooperation in the whole shuji investigation. polls opened her couple of hours ago for afghanistan's parliamentary elections but it's already been marred by violence the taliban have attacked polling stations of multiple provinces in the southern province of kandahar voters will have to wait an extra week to cast their ballots follows an attack in the region which killed two senior officials on thursday it happened at a meeting between the most senior u.s. military officer in the country and afghan commanders among the day's police chief general of the razak the taliban has claimed responsibility it's valid to derail

the election and target anyone who votes it's a crucial poll because saturday's election has already been delayed for three years because of security concerns and voter registration reforms live now charlotte bears joins us from the afghan capital kabul so first of all house turnout looking like. well i think. turnout it's hard to tell because a lot of the polling seem to haven't actually opened was meant to open two hours ago or we're getting reports now that even inside kabul polling seems as having opened in the wiston suburb of dusty but she was fortunate liks an observer who said this story is not uncommon that they are hearing this all over the polling sites haven't actually opened in a lot of places i asked why and he said because in some places the materials aren't the which is not good news biometric devices he's working in some of these places

and he said some of his observers haven't even been allowed inside polling seem to so it is not going smoothly on the logistical front on the security front it is also not going smoothly we're getting reports in every few minutes about attacks and polling seems is closing in condos province we've just confirmed two more thought to mortar rounds were fired on a school which is acting as a polling seem to we don't know if any casualties came from that and only eighty six of two hundred twenty polling centers and problems remain open some were attacked in the last few hours others have closed because of threats from the taliban in kabul province just north of the just north of the city has been an explosion. that is confirmed but we do not know if there are casualties we've also heard there's another explosion in kabul province to the east of the city and we have unconfirmed reports from five other provinces in afghanistan all in the last two hours so the taliban promised that they would attack polling seems as they

would try to disrupt this election and they certainly following through on that there are no or no confirmation and with the casualties have come of this how this is meant to work is that today is an election for the lower house of parliament kind of if you were to think of the u.s. like the lower house of representatives two thousand five hundred. and it's running for two hundred forty nine seats my colleague ayesha malabar a talk to some of those candidates has his story. no heart. was a journalist before she decided to become a politician a former member of the kabul provincial council she's running for a seat in parliament afghanistan remains a deeply conservative society where women say they are discriminated against but harvey seems hopeful this could be the best chance for women to make their mark in politics when we meet them people even means they don't turn to me.

this is the last time you trust me but brokaw and they broke our trust and oh really never trust again i mean this is the first time in afghan elections that most of the candidates are young independent and determined to change political lives people like how do you say afghan institutions have been crippled by warlords and corrupt officials and that this election is the moment to defeat them we want to clean parliament for all these. representatives they misuse their authorities they misused the concept of parliament so first of all we need to bring young educated people with plan how can they build their country. in the past afghans largely voted along ethnic and regional lines but the main political parties are losing that influence and the traditional elite is losing its appeal

people here say they are eager to see change there are no job opportunities for us our people are well educated and the parliament should help create jobs for treaties pull the afghan people don't let us know how it was security is getting worse and has to be improved past parliaments did nothing m.p.'s make all sorts of promises and must deliver once elected. there's been widespread fraud in previous elections so the international community has been pushing for genuine political reforms for them their representative parliament would be the first step towards political stability and reconciliation it's been seventeen years since the fall of the taliban government here in the capital people have been electing their leaders hoping for a better prosperous country but many appear their dreams won't come true because of the continuing war and the growing disillusionment that may affect voter turnout at

a crucial moment for afghanistan has a lot about al jazeera. given that they actual vote has been delayed for i think up to weaken some provinces like on the harsh on it so how soon are we going to get election results. or there will be some delay because logistically trying to get in the results from all these provinces so we're expecting in a few weeks if not even a month before we start to see some of the results filtering in and to have you know there is a question about how credible the whole process will be see have all these sort of electoral issues been resolved the demands for electoral reform and so on well the big question is is can the government pull off credible elections after all the money and all the resources that have been pumped into afghanistan since

the americans arrived in two thousand and one they really have to show today that they can pull this off smoothly it certainly hasn't got off to a good start but they have. voted first this morning and he is doing everything to try to reassure people with in there are a lot of the security is very high there are a lot of army there are a lot of police out on the streets trying to reassure people so to improve that turnout but these these talks of attacks and the ones we've got confirmed already this morning certainly won't be helping. thanks so much for train traveling at high speed in the indian state of punjab was plowed into a large crowd killing at least fifty nine people those killed that gathered for a religious festival in the city of. whole china jan reports. police in india are calling this a freak accident a train plows into a large crowd watching the burning of enough a-g.

at a religious celebration. of the witnesses say the overflow of people pushed some on to the railway truck the noise from fireworks prevented people from hearing the approaching train. it was a major hindu festival the railway track is close to it and the crowd was huge suddenly some movement happened and the train crossed at that time the. survivors covered the body parts of their loved ones others waited for those injured to be treated at nearby hospitals thank you crowd was it a hindu festival called celebrating the triumph of good over evil they had just set ablaze the effigy of a ten headed demon from the hindu at the karama ya know i am at the moment not a radical he isn't on his. next to the investigation but the administration should have entered a bit. when i got eduardo and as the investigation begins the chief minister of the

state has declared a day of mourning he has ordered all state to situations to be closed in his real system house of record of safety. feeling to three million people use the network the system was build during colonial rule but it is underfunded cultured urging on al-jazeera. hello standard thirty people have been injured by live fire and tear gas shot by israeli forces in gaza two of the palestinians are in critical condition they've been protesting every friday since march demanding to return to their ancestral homes earlier an egyptian delegation methods training and how massive officials in hopes of mediating a lasting cease fire herefore said has the latest from gaza. this friday protest is now winding down you can see hundreds of people streaming along these pathways back towards the main roads here east of gaza city the ambulances though have been going

up and down shuttling along these lanes at the same time the whole build up to this protest was in course increased in its delicacy and stakes because of what happened on wednesday the early hours of wednesday morning when there was a rocket strike from gaza in territory which hit and damaged a residential home in the israeli town of the mother and three children living in that property escaped unharmed but israel has threatened hamas with increased military action if these border protests proceeded in the way that they have in recent weeks in terms of the number of people approaching the fence breaching the fence lighting and launching in century kites and balloons we did see snipers targeting some of those balloons as they were sent on their way towards israeli territory as for the protests themselves well hamas has called on people had called on people to come out again in force it doesn't want to simply give up on these protests having invested so much in them over so many months and so far having

little to show for them however it does seem that there was a call for restraint there weren't so many people getting so close to the fence the center of gravity of these protests remained a long way short of where it has in recent weeks. and i said nations cash provides a vital lifeline for many of the one hundred eighty thousand syrian refugee families living in lebanon. limited resources have forced the world food program to redistribute only the most vulnerable people qualify for programs that means. of the for home and his wife have survived the last four years with the help of the united nations they benefited from a cash assistance program for syrian refugees in lebanon but they were recently told they will no longer receive the one hundred seventy five dollars monthly payment so they are victims of what the international organization says is its

limited resources. we are in need of assistance from the united nations because we are in deep and i can't work for health reasons i have a heart problem every year the un conducts an assessment to find out who needs help the most. are among one hundred eighty thousand syrian families who will no longer be eligible for the aid which will now be given to the same number of families who have been recently identified as the most vulnerable she has that will now be given priority for the first time since her family moved to lebanon a year ago she will be given money to pay for food and other needs. my daughters are working so that we can each that they barely make enough money if they don't work will die from hunger almost a million syrian refugees are registered with the un in lebanon but only thirty percent are eligible for the cash assistance program because of the lack of money.

it is our responsibility to make sure that the families receiving this is are really those that the lost the bottom line is that this program really targets the poorest of the poor and the it doesn't even reach the percentage of the families who live under the extreme poverty. now it's a year the conflict. neighboring syria has made millions dependent on assistance. limited funding means many refugees have to rely on themselves and that is not easy in lebanon where they are not welcome the suffering is immense un statistics show more than eighty percent of syrian refugees have at least one family member living with a chronic health condition. and most organizations provide only basic health care and even the fairest family didn't get that when they lost a child not too long ago they say they haven't benefited from the u.n. cash program during their four years in lebanon the twenty six year old father

earns three dollars a day but that is only when he finds work on the national machine since i came from syria i haven't been able to find a steady job and whatever i earn is not enough i have been dead i owe people three and a half thousand dollars. the u.n. warns the humanitarian crisis is not going to go away anytime soon and so many continue to appeal for help. because. at least a million with those live in iraq following decades of conflict and war it's left the sole breadwinners i'm going to reports from baghdad on a new government designed to assist them. a man lost eight members of her family in the conflict in iraq including her husband she's been left to bring up three children. she says she was divorced heated at first but the experience was broken she now walks in these posters shop in a suburb of the capital. and frankly speaking there is

a lot of pressure on me juggling between being a mother and putting food on the table i have managed it well so far but at the expense of my health i do most of my household chores at night. then is to me to do one million widows in iraq one in ten households in the control is headed by a woman in some districts it's almost one in five of the offices of a local charity these readers are being trained as taters it's a program partly funded with donations from the state and well wishes i've been there all these women have no salaries and no source of income to raise their children we are giving them skill still enable them to eventually gain much needed income and relevance in the society the plight of adults wheedles has been described as a cultural final got feel fully understand what they go through on a daily basis they have the painful memories they say jani for lost loved ones on

down days there was something. about caring for the children cool for them feeding them as the main breadwinner is gone. during saddam hussein's rule war widows were looked after by the state now they mostly remain hidden and vulnerable they are increasing calls for more assistance for iraq's we doze on even suggestions to allow polygamy politicians put forward a proposal recently for the government to women financial incentives to take we don't know second wives or more subsidy and i'll share the news and contact show host questions the assumption that the widow who would be better off on one of them are why do we have a negative view point of widows and divorced women any law for them should come with guarantee so that all those who abuse it and those who exploit widows are forced to return any funds they have received from the state. with a doubt the economy limping along dependent entirely on crude oil and the

government preoccupied with their cost structure and building national unity many acknowledge that little is likely to change for iraq's we don't see any time soon how would i do. that. u.s. intelligence says its concerned about attempts by russia china and iran to interfere with next month's midterm elections this is the first official acknowledgement of interference following accusations of russian influence in the election of donald trump two years ago a russian woman elana christan over is being charged with conspiracy to conduct information warfare against the u.s. and interfere with november's vote bill schneider is a public policy professor at george mason university he explains how the u.s. midterms maybe influence from abroad this appears to be a very strong and concerted effort on the part of a lot of russians some of whom are very close to president putin a russian oligarch who's known as putin's chef because he runs

a catering service apparently has funded this very large effort project locked in st petersburg it isn't hacking into american election systems but what it's doing is running ads on social media facebook and twitter very divisive ads trying to divide americans and create tension and controversy in the united states ahead of the midterms you can't say that they're particularly pro or anti trump they're just doing anything they can to create more tension and more division in american politics like united states senator on the senate intelligence committee has said today that it shows we need guard rails on our social media i'm not sure what that means exactly but there is a lot of discussion about what can be done by these businesses which are independent in private social media to prevent foreign influence from coming in buying advertising time on our social media which gets to millions of americans particularly politically engaged americans and stirs up controversy. brazil's far

right presidential candidates are always being accused of spreading fake news on social media and violating campaign finance laws his rival leftist workers' party candidate number one dad says he used illegal corporate funding to send messages on what's up for propaganda use was another has denied the accusations he's currently leading opinion polls at fifty nine percent brazilians will vote on october the twenty eighth in the presidential runoff. from sao paolo this scandal amply illustrates the extreme polarized nation in brazilian society in the run up to sunday's second round vote between the workers' party or pay to candidate for a member. and the right wing candidate jabe also noddle. workers' party is alleging that more than one hundred fifty business people supporters of mr paulson are or have been financing

a campaign of what they call fake news to put it in a bad light alleging among other things that he owns a yellow ferrari that has said he doesn't even own a car at the root of the problem is the allegation the election finance laws have been broken that money is being spent that hasn't been declared and what the workers' party are asking is that lawyers judges look at the campaign look at what's been going on with a possible view of having the election on sunday. suspended or postponed what mr bowles now at all says is yes perhaps there were people out there putting out false information but he knew nothing about it and even if he did he is not in a position to do anything about it it's unlikely to his supporters opinion polls give him about sixty percent of the vote for sunday's election there are likely to pay heed to these allegations the allegation by the by mr paulson out of this party is simply

a last ditch attempt by the workers' party to delay elections which they say they're certain to lose but again illustrating the divided nature in these last few days leading up to sunday's vote thousands of gathered at guatemala's northern border torn down a fence and stalled towards a bridge into mexico migrants from guatemala honduras and el salvador of him walking north to the united states so-called caravan despite threats from the u.s. president to stop migrants kristen salumi reports. at mexico's southern border with guatemala the police put on a show of force for hundreds of migrants attempting to get into the united states they would not be deterred breaking through fences some carrying one during flags making their way to a bridge into mexico right past the authorities mexico is under pressure from the u.s. to stop the caravan of some three thousand people mostly from honduras for us president

donald trump the crossing has become an issue to rally his supporters ahead of the november elections. we are about law and order and borders and jobs and they are about allowing crime to enter our country with open borders. because many of those people a percentage a big really big percentage of those people. are criminals mexico's foreign minister promised to deal with the migrants after meeting u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o the challenge related to securing our southern border is also a challenge for american sovereignty if we get it right we will improve the relationship our tree in our two countries materially as well the foreign minister said his country wants the united nations to get involved in a respite. it is a respect to human rights the dignity of people as well as protection of the migrant particularly the most vulnerable the children. the u.s.

has also threatened to cut off aid to guatemala and honduras but the migrants say they are fleeing violence hunger and government corruption. it was the really in the country one cannot live anymore. most of all because of the insecurity that's the true. there's a lot of people there. but that's the reason why i'm leaving the country my son has been dead for four months. or whatever. i don't want them to go back to the same thing she has already been threatened. despite efforts to stop them they are holding out hope that somehow when they get to the united states border they'll be allowed in christian salumi al-jazeera. a new museum has opened in washington d.c.

dedicated to the history of law enforcement in the u.s. the museum opens in a time where policing is under heavy scrutiny something the curators try to address the now. visitors to the new national law enforcement museum in washington d.c. are shown a film accepting that the origins of u.s. law enforcement lie in rounding up a scape slaves xenophobia and protection of property for the rich because. examples of communities and police forces working together today are presented in contrast to a brutal past amid the interactive displays and memorabilia alike notorious f.b.i. director j. edgar hoover's desk is an exhibit about ferguson missouri where the killing of a black teenager by a white police officer helped to catalyze the black lives matter movement but the main goal of the museum is to pay tribute to law enforcement and explore the toughness of the job. is just. this simulation of

a traffic stop shows how difficult it is to tell the difference between someone brandishing a weapon and someone displaying their id. rather early. so this was a happy. person inference would appear to be that you too could shoot an innocent person by mistake statistics probably together from voluntary police reports from across the u.s. are stark for example one study finds that people of color minorities in the u.s. society made up over sixty percent of people killed by u.s. police in the first half of twenty fifteen the museum's director says the problems of u.s. law enforcement are integra to the dialogue he wants to begin our role is to bring people with different points of view different experiences different perceptions together to try to learn from history appreciate what's been done in the past appreciate what's being done well now and. it can be even what can be done even

stronger in the future we invite a community organizer natasha to two of the displays with us ok inclusion the museum just doesn't get it i think mentioning africa and i think mentioning of slave patrol but we're not connecting how all of those things connect together and how those are very real experiences that are still happening through capitalism. and white supremacy i just don't see the relationship between the police and the particularly the black and brown and other march wife communities you know that i work with and i hear their stories and the not reflect. the museum is desperate to display a reconstructed sensitive contemporary us the information for that projection some way from the perception of those being policed. washington.

special saudi arabia's five five people including a top intelligence official along with the royal advisor and eighteen others arrested in connection with jim marshall he's dead. the saudi king gives the crown prince mohammed bin son the job of supervising a restructuring of the country's intelligence services plus. sherry bebitch been a great ally but what happened is an accepted. u.s. president reacts but says any action against the salary should not include cancelling weapons sales. of the day of denials and changing narrative sadly arabia has so the first time confirmed journalist was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul the admission comes seventeen days after her job she was last seen going into the

building riyadh claims there was a brawl inside and he died during the fight five top saudi officials have been sacked among them a senior intelligence officer and an adviser to the royal court saudi arabia says eighteen people are under arrest as part of the investigation president trump says those arrests are a great first step but he wants to talk further with the crown prince mohammed bin sandman about the investigation. let's begin our coverage by talking to charles stratford he's live for us outside the saudi consulate in the stumbles of the first question of course charles that has to come to mind is how on earth there is the latest saudi narrative square up with everything we've been hearing from saudi officials over the last seventeen days. frankly sami doesn't square up until does it i mean eighty eight seen blatant contradiction to what we were hearing in the initial stage of this crisis the saudi authorities

calling these allegations that the khashoggi had been killed or died inside the consulate as baseless lawyers we also know if only a few days ago way hearing threats that were announced they were released on the saudi state news agency saying that if they indeed there were any sanctions on the saudis were going to be punished then they would be retribution that the saudis would respond with even tougher that say sanctions let's not forget that the saudis initially said that because she had left the saudi consulate on that day so for them now to admit that he died in what they are claiming is a brawl or was a brawl is a massive contradiction is completely opposite to what they've been saying i think it's going to be very interesting now to see what other leaks the government. gave the international press in the hours in the days ahead let's not forget that the

turkish investigation continues we understand that the saudis decided to to make this announcement on the basis of the information that that have we understand that it's of showing them that information and pushed them into a corner but of course there are huge holes in this argument if indeed the saudis say that say he died in a brawl he died in a brawl then where is the body that is the that the first obviously first major question that has to be honest and then of course there's all this information about they spiffed the member team that is being leaked to the media by the shills or it is as well the fifteen member team that is being reported was headed by somebody who was. very very close to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man this man met him trip who's been filmed entering the saudi consulates on that day

that could show she disappeared leaving the consulate and then literally around an hour late getting on a plane and leaving the country. as i say it's going to be very interesting in the hours ahead to see what new information leaks and all the evidence would suggest that that's all very much in a driving seat as this investigation goes forward charles even if you follow the saudi narrative now some of those who are relieved of their posts or arrested or involved in this pretty senior people some of them under the direct command of the crown prince which raises the question how could something like this happen a journalist for the washington post a columnist for the washington post die in a diplomatic facility and yet the crown prince pountney and senior officials have no idea about this this is it only speaks to satisfy the analysts people with an in-depth knowledge of the royal court

they'll tell you that any operation like that it would seem inconceivable that the saudi leadership indeed the crown prince mohammed bin solomon himself was not aware this was going on as i say a lot of focus on that fifteen member team this man met. at least three other members of that same that are top members we understand of the saudi intelligence community with very close links to mohammed bin somo it's interesting that the finger of blame by the saudis is being pointed at these. five people five senior figures including this man saod qahtani who is a senior advisor to the prince prince muhammad again very close to him and then this this major general ahmed el assyria who's deputy chief of intelligence and who had a senior role as a spoke stocks person for the saudis war in yemen. you know even even the man that

has been. is being blamed for this will certainly the saudis have a rested this man on the even he is very close to the leadership itself so you know again it's more evidence that would suggest that bin solomonic had some sort of awareness that this was going on. certainly i think it's fair to say there has been such a change in the saudi narrative over the last few days from going to base this lies to now admitting that he died in this role. you know it would not be inconceivable by any stretch that indeed the saudi leadership the prince him self was aware of this of course saudi arabia has got its own investigation ongoing as well but as i say i think it's going to be the real focus is going to be what the turks have got to say now if indeed this audiotape exists and the does this some very damning

evidence all of it the transcripts of these tapes that have been this audiotape that has been released they say that they have evidence on this on these transcripts that. was attacked by a least three saudis immediately on entering the building they even say that there's evidence of this type of a bone soul being being investigated and then of course let's not forget this top autopsy expert this man who was part of that fifteen member team so the these government these turkish government leaks are claiming. there are huge questions to. continue the investigation will continue and let's be honest here the blatant elephant in the room is where is this body if the saudis say that he died in a brawl in the consulate then where where is this dead man on the point of the

turkish role here we don't have the results yet of the tension vesta geisha what's the timeline when we're supposed to get that charles and any indication of whether the talks want to push this further and put more pressure whether they want to try and resolve this at this point well the circus government when the joint investigative committee was announced and sets out the mission the saudi investigative committee the turkish government said that they expected the results of the investigation to come out within three or four days that was three days ago now certainly the leaks but it's a government to the media say the latest was that they had samples that they found in the saudi consul general home that midsts sorry that matched solve those that been found in the consulate they also said that there was a great focus of attention of somebody they believed who might have been tracking crucial g.'s movements since he started coming to turkey regularly more than

a year and a half ago. we have no indication as to when there will be any kind of official announcement on the findings of that joint investigation but as i say all indications suggest that the longer this goes all the more it seems likely that the turkish an independent story the turkish investigation itself may release more leaks to the media it's difficult to say at this stage but this is been a huge development overnight and as you rightly say massive change in narrative coming from saudi arabia all right charles france and that thanks so much for giving us the word from istanbul let's catch up on what's going on in ankara cinema cause all blue has more now on the next stages of the investigation. definitely the leaks by the turkish officials to me do a help to put pressure international pressure over saudi arabia in order to call

mass the death of journalists. the prosecutor's office in istanbul is running an independent investigation despite another investigation is underway in saudi arabia at the sources that i have spoken after to saudi and now spent they say that they will be continue chasing after this and they will not stop until they find a body of jamal khashoggi because his body it would be the key indicator of this inquiry in order to file an indictment and to carry out this case to a higher level and international level of course now everybody's curious whether mohamed in somalia will be able to get away this. relationship with the with the men he has dismissed this miss but until now the saudi rhetorical was based on denying his disappearance but the leaked information by the official sources say that even after two hours after entrance inside the consulate

a saudi official went out with close of tomorrow. and this video was provided by the c.c. cameras in the surrounding buildings according to the high level turkish official i have spoken so there is no way out for saudi arabia but now they have to show us where his body is buried or kept it will be the key indicator of course now his family is upset we have been speaking to his close friends who have been following who have been the defender of his case since the beginning it took a sure out media platform they acknowledged us that they will be f. in a role in istanbul within one or two days depending on the developments also there will be a come aeration in the united states and in the funeral in istanbul many journalists and politicians around the world are expected along with democracy family but now of course.
