intelligence agency reports two well then there are the sacked officials we mentioned. siri both close aides to bin soundman and by their own admission don't act on their own will for the first time the u.s. president on all trungpa xix press doubts about saudi arabia's explanation of how journalist jamal khashoggi was killed members of the u.s. congress from both sides of the aisle a strongly condemn the saudis latest admission as mike hanna reports from washington. of the in his element on the campaign trail but president trump cannot get away from persistent questions about jamal khashoggi initially described the saudi report concerning the killing as credible but listen twenty four hours later retreated from this position and no washington post telephone interview strongly criticized in the saudi explanation saying obviously there's been deception and there's be lies at the same time he continues to defend saudi arabia as an incredible ally and keeps open the possibility that the crown prince had no

knowledge of the murder. this is at odds with members of congress the powerful republican chairman of the senate foreign relations committee accusing the crown prince of complicity using his initials m b s if you look at the rocky mistake he made and carter where without even talking to us they put in place the blockade he also has made some mistakes and obvious they've gone forth and murdered this journalist he's now crossed the line and there has to be a punishment and a price paid for that in and again i'm not rushing to judgment do i think he did it yes i think he did it and a bipartisan call for punitive sanctions we don't expel formally expel the saudi ambassador from the united states until there is a completion of a third party investigation into this kidnap murder and god knows what followed that occurred in istanbul this ought to be a relationship altering event for the u.s.

and saudi arabia that we ought to suspend military sales we have to suspend certain security assistance and we ought to impose sanctions on any of those that were directly involved in this murder this really ought to be something that causes to do a reexamination of our relationship with saudi arabia this is something that president trump is reluctant to do but he would find it politically damaging to veto sanctions legislation in congress that would likely get strong bipartisan support mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well i'm joined now in the studio by our who is formerly with the u.k. foreign office now assistant professor at nottingham university center for conflict security and terrorism thanks very much for speaking to us and so i want to start by asking you about this latest development where it is quoting the saudi press agency that the saudi king salmon as telephone jamal khashoggi son to convey his condolences we had similar sentiments from the saudi foreign minister today why now

well i think that there are two reasons one is of course it fits in with the saudi government's position the king's position and the crown prince's position that they did not know anything about this and they think this is a horrible thing that has happened out with their authority you think causes it does identify in the public mind. jamal khashoggi is son who maybe later to be heard from because he may well be encouraged to take custody of the remains and have them buried very quickly in that way any autopsy any public examination of the body could be avoided which will negate finding information or evidence as to why he was killed or how he was killed rather and also the the horrors if they're already of the alleged dismemberment so i think there may well be part of the strategy to try and put

a line under this thing and manage the news but i think. it is pretty obvious that the saudi government wants to people to know that there are generally saurian are reaching out and so on as part of the public relations campaign and now have been various reports coming through on the agencies but. actually. the suggestion is that it was the crown prince it was the crown prince mohammed bin soundman statement here saying that he made. a phone call to which he expressed his condolences now if this is the key piece of evidence here is about locating the body and what happens to the remains because of course it is an autopsy that can definitively establish precisely what happened what are the implications then of an autopsy not taking place well of course that means that there isn't any hard

evidence and the version of events could be disputed and of course they are different from certainly what's saudis are saying and what the turkish side is implying and so that puts a little bit of a dispute on what is worth remembering actually that there is a suggestion that. mr g.'s family in saudi arabia are to some degree strange from him because he had to give them up in order to be in exile and of course he was going to the consulate to get his divorce papers so that he could marry his turkish fiance and so there is a if you like a potential rift and i don't know the details because none of it's to which could be exploited by those who want to manage the story subsequently thank you very much appreciate your analysis still ahead for you on the program of covering other stories russia condemns the u.s. decision to pull out of a thirty year old arms treaty as does mackell gorbachev the soviet leader who
