they fought centuries of colonialism and kates of dictatorship to become a fully fledged democracy and it's a right they say they will not give up that we're not china's aggression can only push us to defend ourselves we will see guard our right to self-determination. taiwan has its own currency passport political and judicial system that china regards the island as part of its territory thailand considers itself a certain state but has never declared formal independence from the mainland i want to be independent country and a referendum is still a democrat the way to jail china and to tell the whole work that actually we want to be a one country many of these protesters go tit for the current government which has been resisting beijing's attempts at bringing taiwan in line with its policies china take a lot of pressure in taiwan they use a lot softer like a cabbie told like it like some kind of shop power they want to like invade to

taiwan so now this critical moment to life to stand out to choose to life on the street to say like light let taiwan be taiwan but that comes at a cost angering china could have serious repercussions for taiwan beijing has previously pressured several countries to cut diplomatic ties with taipei pushed foreign companies to all you refer to taiwan as part of china and increased patrols by its airforce and may be close to the island china has always maintained it's within its right to take taiwan back by force if necessary and that's a risk the taiwanese government is not willing to take so even the government which started out as a separatist local identity political party is also not eager to have something that would actually possibly cause a more rapid military response from china as well. many here know it will be difficult to even hold a vote on whether to declare independence but they say this sends

a message the more pressure china puts on taiwan's people the harder they will push back if you go pollen typee. the conservative government of australia's new prime minister scott morrison has lost its parliament tree majority voters deserted the ruling party in a byelection held in the east in sydney electorate which was held by the previous prime minister malcolm turnbull an independent candidate won the vote there the government now has to rely on deals with other independent m.p.'s in order to stay in power. still to come here on the al-jazeera news hour news hour chipping of a new world record peter will have the very latest from the timber sports world championship. the diagnosis he has been sick for around six months now the challenge ahead there

very little is known about the smallest and least explored planet mercury a spacecraft blasted off on saturday hoping to change that but. a successful start to a long and challenging mission. the unmanned. blasted off from french guiana carrying two smaller spacecraft which will investigate the surface and back netting of mercury. to better understand the formation of our solar system. and coming from.

mercury is the smallest planet in the solar system its proximity to the sun means temperatures can reach up to four hundred thirty degrees celsius in the day and drop to minus one hundred eighty at night the bevy columbus spacecraft will fly round earth venus and mercury several times in order to slow down before arriving at its destination in december twenty twenty five we fly by nine times a planet in order to lose energy otherwise the sun will attract us very very strongly too fast. so we will use nine times the planets first the earth twice venus six times mercury eventually we will get there it would take seven point two years. once the bad because number reaches mercury it will release the too small a spacecraft one will operate in mercury's in orbits the other in it's out of orbit

they'll gather data on the internal structure of the planet its surface and geological evolution the european space agency spacecraft is designed to look at the surface of the planet and to study the planet in detail on the second spacecraft is designed to look at be environment and so having to spice craft will enable us to do a great deal of new saw and compared to the previous missions. the last spacecraft sent to mercury ended its four year orbit in twenty fifteen european and japanese scientists behind this one point five billion dollar mission say they're expecting big surprises that could challenge existing theories about the evolution of the solar system victoria gate and be there right is time for the small seems now with pisa. thank you very much we start with a blow for barcelona you know messi has broken a bone in his right arm and will miss next week's classic

beijing looking out the pacific ocean you'd see american warships. somehow time is aiming to replace america and around the world all the chinese are not that stupid these guys want to dominate a huge chunk of the planet this sounds like a preparation for our first president george washington said if you want peace prepare for war the coming war on china part one on a just. i'm not satisfied until we find the answer but it was a big first step was a good first step. he's campaigning for the midterms when even in nevada president trump can't escape questions on sound is a count of jamal khashoggi is death. germany and france joined a growing chorus of voices questioning the credibility is sound is that the

death. hello again i'm dennis here without jazeera live from doha also coming up elections in that. this sonner overshadowed by violence and technical problems forcing some areas to extend elections for an extra day. pulling out of a landmark nuclear weapons deal president trump accuses russia of multiple violations. that disbelief and calls for a credible inquiry that's been the reaction to saudi arabia's explanation for the death of the saudi journalist jamal khashoggi in istanbul in a new twist u.s. president now says he's not satisfied with the saudi account but he insists that

taking punitive measures would cost americans did. not satisfied until we find the answer but it was a big first step was a good first step but i want to get to the edge. with all that being said we have four hundred fifty billion dollars one hundred ten billion of which is a military order but this is equipment and various things ordered from saudi arabia four hundred fifty billion dollars i think it's over a million jobs that's not helpful for us to cancel an order like that that hurts us far more that it hurts them well germany says it shouldn't improve arms deals with saudi arabia and till the investigations over france the european union and the un are among those who are demanding a thorough and transparent investigation after riyadh claimed that he died in a fight inside its consulate saudi arabia's justice minister meanwhile insists his

country should see the case as he was killed on saudi's sovereign territory and turkey says it won't allow a cover up and that it will reveal all of its evident shortly. ok we can go live to charles strafford our correspondent who's outside the saudi consulate in istanbul in just a while first of all though let's go to patty cole hane she's our correspondent in washington and she's following all the all of the developments there so patty i mean we we saw at the top donald trump almost being doorstepped only issue of course shuggie even when he's trying to focus on domestic issues because he's got the midterm elections of course coming up in just a little warmth. exactly under three weeks he's been on the road for the last three days trying to do these campaign rallies trying to shore up his base the republican support trying to keep control of the senate in the house of representatives what

he wants to be talking about is the caravan heading into mexico he wants to be talking about illegal immigration but that's not what anyone is letting him talk about he walked up to reporters try to get an air force one he said any questions and it was question after question after question about the murder of jamal khashoggi. so the president saying he's not satisfied yet with the investigation that he plans to talk to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin psalm on and that he thinks they might have it all wrapped up by tuesday he again was talking about those numbers i think it's important to point out and so far the american media has really been looking into this but i suspect that will change in the next couple of days literally no one can tell you where those numbers are coming from four hundred fifty billion dollars worth of investment the numbers have been going up the president since this story broke has been citing the arms sales from saudi arabia he immediately went there when he became president and he said look they're right one hundred ten billion dollars worth of military hardware those deals have not

been signed those deals some of them come from the obama administration and even then the figure didn't add up to one hundred ten billion and there's literally no reference to the four hundred fifty billion anywhere that anyone can find and as far as the jobs just twenty four hours ago he said they create six hundred thousand jobs in the u.s. now it's a million not quite sure where those are extra four hundred thousand jobs came from and i think probably the white house couldn't tell you that either the president enjoys hyperbole doesn't he. also coming out recently within the last couple of hours in fact it's been some very very strong language coming from the washington post itself. it has and we've heard a statement from the publisher his name is fred ryan and i want to read this to you because it's really not pulling back any punches that says this is not an explanation it is a cover up president congress and leaders of the civilized world she demand to see verifiable evidence the saudis cannot be allowed to fabricate a face saving solution to an atrocity that appears to have been directed by the

highest levels and the editorial page of the washington post let's not forget they were the employers to demolish oggi they went so far as to basically say the world needs to stay sickly shun saudi arabia intil if they see some serious changes and it goes even further it writes the first step in that process is determining the full truth about the murder and holding its likely author muhammad bin samon fully accountable so i think of the last twenty four hours other than the president moving slightly saying that he's not satisfied what you've seen is really a hardening of public opinion here in washington people are reacting to the story that saudi arabia's put out about his death and they're simply saying yeah that doesn't add up and that's a view being expressed by joe biden this and as well patsy of course the former vice president under president obama he's also not on the stump at the moment this isn't what he had to say. the left for the world is watching the united states of

america we have let the world and they're wondering where the hell are we what's become of us and now the n.b.a.'s shortie arabia you know my morning he's making excuses. by the way you know that all expression some people bring a gun to a knife right where you don't bring those two flights. going is going on here it's embarrassing but it's also dangerous you know folks it is a lot of noise more the malarky men it's more the more reason or warning are there on a minor worldwide reputation to decency so pass he was seen joe biden that i mean did the president himself both of them in in the voters' they campaign for the midterm elections is this issue likely to become something upon which people vote in those crucial elections in just

a few days from now but i think it'll put added pressure on the politicians even president donald trump because what we're seeing is real disgust from democrats and even independents at the reaction from the white house so far now of course president trump's base is pretty solid it doesn't move no matter what he says or does but they're going to be watching in the democrats will try to portray the president as weak if he doesn't take any steps to do any sort of punishment. whether or not that you know he doesn't like being called weak so that could have an impact but i think the bigger impact is going to be on the midterms but you've seen keep in mind the entire house of representatives they're all up for reelection anyone who's running for reelection and a third of the u.s. senate's up for reelection so they're under pressure now to basically say that they want to be tougher on saudi arabia and a lot of that pressure let's not forget is coming from the media this story has not gone away it's not like anything in the trump presidency this is the longest story to stick in the front pages and i think

a large part of that is because it's been driven by the media itself because so forget jamal khashoggi was one of us have you can't live in washington thank you. well from passim washington that's going to chiles traffic now he's outside the saudi consulate in istanbul in turkey and chiles said the governing ak party have come out and said that they will not stand for any kind of cover up and they're prepared to reveal all of the evidence that they have in their possession and said can we assume therefore that the turkish government is is not buying into the saudi explanation certainly one i think can excuse this stage as you say the act party saying that. the saudis were forced to give to make some sort of statement about what happened inside the consulate precisely because of the kind of information that the turkish

government has been leaking to the media over the last couple of weeks and that as you say have said that they won't stop investigating this until all the. found. a lot of that information has obviously been very very powerful there's some very solid evidence that has been leaked so far let's talk obviously about that c.c.t.v. t.v. footage of the man you've considered to lead this operation may have more troops in going inside the embassy on the day that the show has disappeared and leaving the country with this fifteen member team on the same day also information leaked by the by the turkish government with respect to what they say is evidence of this bone soul being used or the recording the transcripts all of it that say that they even have informational to the precise positioning all of people in a room inside the building behind me as they told should and dismembered shows

she's body so i think you know a lot of the focus at the moment is on the x. as to what more they can reveal and indeed. everybody asking exactly what will they have what do they what more evidence can can they drip feed in the next few days. that the turkish government said that they were going to release information on its make some sort of formal statement on the joint investigative committee for five days ago but you know obviously nothing has happened there let's not forget that the turkish government had their own investigation ongoing there are least twenty because some of which we understand were foreign workers to these workers sorry that were in the consulate they were questioned yesterday one of which we understand was the consul general dr there's a lot of focus of attention on him certainly according to the new york times

speaking to a saudi official name saudi official who said that because shows he's body was handed over to a collaborator and that's why the saudis according to them say they don't know where the body is the say quite a lot of focus on this driver because it's believed the driver may have been involved in handling the body will just have to wait and see what more information that have but as we heard there from patty would lead is europeans by parties and call it stations right the way across the the american political spectrum are not buying this saudi narrative so yeah we we wait to see what more the gault cast have had live in istanbul thank you. all right now we can speak to hillary mann leverett is joining us live from washington she of cool things is the sea. jet.
