10:48 pm
oh. wow. earlier president trump cost down on the saudi explanation saying there have been a deception and lies.
10:49 pm
hasn't seeker this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up a dangerous staff russia's warning to the u.s. about its plans to abandon a cold war era nuclear treaty. thousands of central american migrants are now in mexico marching towards the united states despite president trump's rhetoric . it is a murder that has gripped the world a journalist silenced in the most extreme way. saudi national killed in his country's consulate in istanbul the narratives vary but the evidence released by turkish investigators indicate his killing was planned saudi arabia the country accused of his murder has changed its stance several times since october second
10:50 pm
that's the day for shock he walked in to the saudi consulate to collect routine paperwork but never walk down according to turkish sources royal court advised. any and saudis deputy head of intelligence and city are responsible for sending it to turkey a fifteen member team turkish officials say it was a hit squad that group was sent to meet. what saudi arabia says happened next in turkey goes as follows jamal khashoggi entered the consulate there was an argument and some screaming members of the team tried to silence him they choked him he died a panic ensued and so with the help of a local collaborator they dumped his body as a diversionary attempt someone wore for show g.'s clothes and left the consulate from the back door saudi officials initially said question. left the consulate which they now admit was false all of this leaves unanswered questions what was the original order given to the fifteen member squad were they sent to turkey to
10:51 pm
negotiate kidnap or kill saudi arabia says they wanted to negotiate her return to the kingdom and the make up of the squad suggests something more sinister some were members of special forces there was a forensic pathologist a doctor and even a security guard of crown prince mohammed bin men are to manage jr joins us live now from istanbul. we're hearing some new details now from the prosecutor's office there. well the response essentially true this latest spin that the saudis have been trying to put on the murder on assassination of jamal cultural that it was some sort of accident that it was intended to be extraordinary rendition that's went wrong very say watch you know this was preplanned and there is no doubt according to the evidence that they have that's the intention all along it was to assassinate jamal khashoggi inside
10:52 pm
the consulate i did through that they've given us information they say that the saudis have passed on the testimonies of the fifteen that have been detained in saudi arabia or rather the eighteen that's have been detained in saudi arabia but they haven't told us what those testimonies contain they do say however that as of yet and i emphasize here that they chose to use yet they haven't decided on demanding an extradition of these suspects from saudi arabia but has them i mean as you were pointing out there the holes the plentiful or many holes that exist in the saudi narrative is increasing actually day by day even though the saudis have been trying to provide these dots a narrative so as you point out there you know if it was an attempt to negotiate a return and people aren't quite sure how you negotiate a return with somebody who doesn't want to retire and why you would send that forensic experts why there would be a bomb so why you would essentially try and decide to chop up or dispose of
10:53 pm
a body rather than call the ambulance and paramedics if indeed it was manslaughter by mistake but more importantly it is quite it's handy that they had the contact details of a local collaborator as they say essentially somebody who is a criminal who deals with disposing of bodies why that would be a hand if you haven't done something like this before or if you were intending to do it's bearing in mind the time frame we're talking about is three or four hours so the fact that he went in he was killed and then suddenly the. the guard there was ok let's call people who know how to dispose body is why would you have that hand if you were intending to kill him or if you hadn't done something like this before so even more skepticism even more doubts and actually amongst definitely human rights organizations and even we've been hearing from politicians more outrage as to how the saudis are trying to spin this. lie for us there in istanbul. now
10:54 pm
a second look at the evidence the turkish investigation has been revealing jim after shoji they say entered the consulate in istanbul on october second he was killed within seven minutes and his body was dismembered in fifteen minutes according to them turkish investigators were finally allowed into the consulate almost two weeks after he went missing they were able to isolate exactly where the murder happened with there were traces of blood found in that suggests a violent death or the mutilation of his body after death and jazeera learned from turkish sources that the hit squad contacted the private sector of crown prince mohammed bin man in saudi arabia four times during the window of time the crime was committed and this suggests the crown prince was getting updates we also know that the consul general was in the building during the time of the murder he later gave journalists a tour of the consulate in a bid to prove saudi arabia had nothing to hide but then he left turkey last week
10:55 pm
and this narrative indicates the fifteen member team came to turkey with the intention to kill or believe the lie is a visiting scholar at the university of oxford he spoke to us about what turkey can investigate. target balls have authority to do the math skills because the diplomatic immunity does not provide you with immunity or committing grave crimes mass crimes so according to the vienna convention there is an exception clause for which the host country will be able to investigate and will be able to enter the towns of the town which says that under the grocer consensus and it is clear that killing someone with a fifteen people killed in a diplomatic mission and dismembering its body will constitute a grave one of the grave issue that will necessitate turkey to investigate and to brought these people into true justice so where does responsibility lie will crown
10:56 pm
prince mohammed bin sandman is not the only is not only heir to the strawman he's also the minister of economy minister of defense and the chairman of the council of political and security affairs in which the general intelligence agency reports to with all his portfolios there is an undeniable responsibility on the crown prince and we mentioned earlier danny and siri they're very close aides to bin salmen and by their own admission they do not act on their own they take their orders directly from the crown prince donald trump kept open the possibility that mohamed bin sandman did not order saudi agents to kill but in an interview with the washington post the us president also strongly criticize the kingdom's explanations about what happened saying quote obviously there's been deception and lies let's go live now to mike hanna in washington mike what else was said during that interview.
10:57 pm
that's quite some are solved by president trump there are twenty four hours after stating that he found the saudi account of events credible now as describing it as deception and lies saying that he needs to get to the bottom of the sea says the saudis story is all over the place at the same time he continues to defend saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon describing him as a good guy as a strong guy as somebody who loves his country he's also continuing to express his opinion against any form of economic sanction repeating once again the figure of one hundred ten billion dollars in terms of arms sales a figure that most experts regard is hopelessly over inflated but his congressional leaders would disagree with president trump in the course of the morning a number of calls being made for sanctions to be imposed immediately this is a bipartisan call coming from senators members of the house of representatives from
10:58 pm
both sides of the aisle and very strong words from bob quarter extremely powerful cheer of the senate foreign relations committee he's saying absolutely clearly he believes that the saudi crown prince is responsible for this killing he calls on an immediate deportation of the saudi ambassador calls for all forms of extreme sanction to be taken this very significant particularly as it comes a day after he was briefed by the secretary the secretary pompei or so what sort of pressure is the president facing at home over this with those midterm elections coming up in just a few weeks now. yes you mentioned those midterms elections and those are looming and very clearly the president's handling of this whole affair is becoming an election issue we heard strong criticism of the president's position from former vice president joe biden we've heard those calls coming out of congress president
10:59 pm
trump has for the nearly two years of he's been in office has relied actually on the support of his republican alliance both in the house of representatives and the senate on this particular issue though he can no longer rely on that you've got a bipartisan position republicans democrats all coming out to uniformly insisting on economic sanctions insisting implicitly that the stance of the president is incorrect both on the question of stars sanctions and for the most part on the innocence of the saudi crown prince. mike hanna live for us in washington thanks mike well as you've been hearing there president trump has a lot to lose following saudi arabia's actions he wanted a quick resolution is earlier comments suggested big steps were being taken to solve the investigation but now he's changed his tone he's doubtful and more critical of the kingdom the world is looking for answers will the saudi
11:00 pm
investigation told the whole story of how the body was really disposed of where it is and who's responsible and what about the position of the saudi government right now there is a blanket order to bring back all saudi dissidents how are foreign governments meant to deal with this order if they're hosting political asylum seekers and what about the american government and the turkish government how will they all move forward after such damning reaction from the international community will join me now to talk about some of that day's ibraheem. i had to joins me now on set he is a professor of conflict resolution at the doha institute welcome so let's talk first of all about how how the international community is digesting all of this and how they should be responding to this all the international community has been interacting with this from day one actually it's been. you know constantly since all this is thought of the the actually.
