conversation looking at the effect to land of the self-imposed coup the turkish government blamed for the failed coup in two thousand and sixteen bringing it back to this crisis surrounding the death of the i think it's fair to say that this shows just again what a big diplomatic crisis this has become a it shows you know the kind of impact that it could have not only with respect to the saudis relationship with the u.s. and the world but also saudis relationship with turkey we know sorry. turkey's relationship with the u.s. we know that turkey and america have been at loggerheads for a while now a major rift in their relationship surrounding policies in syria and iran again of course. mr cooler than in self-imposed exile the turkish government very keen to

to question him about this failed coup in two thousand and sixteen and then of course we had the pull brunson the u.s. pastor who was detained in this country for two years on terrorism charges he was recently released it's too early i think to suggest that you know we could see major improvement in these relationships in this relationship between turkey and the u.s. but as i say this this crisis very much emphasizing watch in fact is at stake kid diplomatically for a whole host of relationships with saudi arabia and as i say the the u.s. and turkey and also charles that president adeline finally declaring his hand and saying that he's prepared to reveal all of the evidence that that has his authority his have managed to collate and that this ghastly affair and he's perfect prepared to reveal this. ok.

that's right we understand that these announcements could well be made to make a policy the ruling policy meeting the president ordered or to one will be there. what do we know so far as you say the evidence that has been dripped to the media in recent days we have. we have reports of blood samples have been found samples also being matching samples being found in the consul general so matching samples found in the consulate and then of course are these transcripts of an audiotape recording that certainly took a short story to say shows that. mr schorr she was was murdered inside the consulate indeed dismembered. we also understand according to these leaks that. the search for a body has been focusing on certain areas possibly outside of its stand bill and

then of course there were at least twenty workers we understand four workers who work for the consulate that were questioned yesterday turkey but the end of the day has said that it will not accept a saudi coverup so yeah the focus of attention very much on choose day when according to the president or the one we can expect the full disclosure the full details of the turkish investigation child shattered lives outside the saudi consulate in istanbul thank you very much well mr khashoggi is matter is increasingly becoming a bipartisan issue in washington d.c. with members of congress strongly condemning saudis latest admission and pressing for action is mike hanna reporting from washington. 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 less than twenty four hours later retreated from this position and washington post telephone interview strongly criticizing the saudi explanation saying obviously there's be deception and there's beam 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 weren't 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 pint 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 are expelled 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 let's go live now to another correspondent in

washington patty culhane patty so the voices of criticism of saudi arabia seem to be getting louder ever louder how much pressure is president trump. to take some sort of strong action against saudi. he's under tremendous pressure from the outside this is headline news and every newspaper in every cable news channel every local news station is covering it people are talking about it never where the president goes he's been asked about it he's on twitter right now trying to basically change the subject he's talking about immigration he's talking about the midterm elections but he's not going to be able to delay this especially after what we hear on tuesday president donald trump also mentioned just about twenty four hours ago that tuesday was going to be an important day and that's what we're going to we're going to have to watch we have to wait and see what the turks come up with and if it casts doubt on the saudi story which is already i can tell you being

broadly doubted here in the united states and that's really going to serve to put president in a bit of a box what he has to worry about here is congress is angry they want to see action in there calling for a couple of different things they're saying it's time to stop those military sales that the president often heralds as being worth much much more than they actually are they want to stop any thought of military aid and there are others who are saying it's time to stop helping the saudi coalition conduct the war in yemen as you know the americans provide fueling which is crucial to the bombing campaign they also give targeting information send it's not at all clear wouldn't dramatically slow down the saudi coalition's campaign in yemen so the president is sending the message that he doesn't want to look weak that he doesn't this is fairly believe the saudi story but at the same time he's trying to sort of straddle the fence and talk about how much he respects the crown prince there has been an argument that sort of circulating on twitter for those who are trying to defend saudi arabia saying he's going to be a good crown prince mohammed bin solomon he's just very young and interestingly in

that article that interview with the washington post the president kind of echoed that sentiment in the quote that they just released tonight he said talking about khaled bin solomon and jared kush they're his son in law and also senior advisor they're just two young guys dears doesn't know him well. anything there just two young people they're the same age they like each other i believe so what we're seeing here is the president getting pressure from within his inner circle there are those like his national security advisor is sudden law that are saying this will pass you cannot lose saudi arabia it's key to him in iran and then there are on the outside even the president's closest advisers who are said in the message if you don't do something congress will and you will in the end look weak you know the one thing the president hates it's weakness absolutely but within the last couple of weeks or so i mean president trump has vacillating somewhat hasn't he between trying to sound quite quite appalled and. to take severe action against saudi arabia and then on the other hand flagging up the great material benefits that the

relationship with saudi arabia provides to the united states where does he stand right now. well i think that's anyone's guess i mean when he got on air force one he was saying that ido he thought that he wasn't satisfied but that it was going to be ok there was going to be a thorough investigation the trust of the saudis to handle it he got on air force one this was twenty four hours ago he flew across the country and we know when he's on the plane he tends to watch a lot of cable news the me i had this sudden phone conversation with washington post reporters where he said there have been lies and deception so until we get in front of the president again in less he starts tweeting about it we probably aren't going to know where he's at but he's definitely trying to stake this middle ground what i'm going to be watching for and what's going to be interesting is the president keeps saying we can't do anything about saudi because they have this huge weapons deal it's a deal i worked out myself that's the president quoted in this number that he keeps inflating he's inflating how much the saudis are spending it's actually

a fraction of that in how many jobs it actually keeps in the united states it's a tiny fraction of the number he said a million jobs so the u.s. media is not letting this go as i mentioned it's front page news i'm going to be looking to see if they start to call out those ads factual truth and see if that changes the narrative in the next couple of days. you must thank you. but it's not just in the u.s. european leaders are also demanding urgent clarification as to what exactly happened to the saudi jan this foreign ministers of u.k. germany and france they've released a joint statement condemning his killing and saying that nothing can justify it now it's just the latest ramping up of pressure from world leaders on maria had president trump has a lot to lose following saudi arabia's actions he wanted a quick resolution his earlier comments suggested big steps were being taken to solve the investigation but now he's changed his tone somewhat he's doubtful

a more critical of the kingdom the world is looking for answers will the saudi investigation tell the whole story of how the body was really disposed of where is it and who is responsible and what about the position of the saudi government right now there's a blanket order to bring back all saudi dissidents our 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 following such damning reaction from the international community. first we condemn this act in the strongest terms as we made clear yesterday second there is an urgent need to clarify what happened we're far from having this cleared out and those responsible held to account thirdly i agree with all those who are saying that albeit already limited arms exports can't take place in the current circumstances. right now we can see to see that miles who's director of win without war at the center for international policy joining us from washington thanks for

talking to us what do you make then of the latest. line to come from the saudi foreign minister in particular where is where he's portraying this is an event that was a simple negotiation that went terribly wrong. from day one we've heard nothing but lies after lies after lies from the saudis and the latest story is just a piece of poorly written fiction the facts are the facts that jamal khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate in ankara and he never walked out we know that he died we know that he died at the hands of the saudis and we have all sorts of evidence that points to that order coming from the highest ranks of the saudi government crown prince mohammed bin so it isn't the place of meeting with a pattern so in to interrupt but isn't the problem the fact that we actually haven't seen any of the evidence of the problem is the fact that we're hearing reports of there being evidence which has been fed to pro-government me here in

turkey. the evidence will likely come out in time and we may never know the very specifics of all the individual factors but you have to look at the larger context of what we're seeing the crackdown on dissidents that we've seen under crown prince mohammed bin solomon the constant violence we've seen in yemen the exact kind of experience we're having now with jamal khashoggi where we see a horrific act the saudis first deny that they had any hand or they say it was purposeful and then eventually they say it was an accident they try to back out of it this is a pattern of behavior and so what we don't know all the very specific facts we have to put it in the larger context in the larger context is damning. one thing that has been pretty consistent throughout all of the assurances coming from the saudi authorities and that is the wish the desire to insulate if you like mohammed bin the crown prince you think this exceeding. i don't think they're succeeding you know here in washington d.c. you everyone knows the reality that the crown prince is calling the shots that he's

made these kinds of decisions the american intelligence reports indicate was that this was a plan directed by the crown prince originally to bring him back to bring jamal khashoggi back to saudi arabia but clearly that plan changed and again as was said i think earlier in your broadcast the reality of that is that these senior officials who are now alleged to have been part of this have themselves said they don't act freely they act at the direction of the crown prince no one's buying their story in america that the crown prince didn't have his hands on this no one with the possible exception of donald trump whose own connection with the truth is fragile at best and said what do you think the president should. well i think it's pretty clear where this has to go this has to start as you've heard bipartisan calls from congress with changing the relationship with the saudis the operates the path that the administration has taken of giving them everything they want of having no ramifications having no accountability for the horrors we've seen

in yemen the domestic rasta crackdown on dissidents we're seeing the results of that now so we need to start by immediately ending our support for military operations in yemen we need to halt those arms sales that have been talked about but really what you're hearing in congress and what you're hearing in washington is the recognition that we need to have a fundamental reexamination of the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia and that reexamination is long overdue and we're just at the beginning but it's something that needs to happen now see them. win without the center for international policy thank you very much. we've got a lot more to come here on the al-jazeera news hour including shows support of brazil's far right presidential contenders base rallies in favor. and in sports to be continued lewis hamilton fails to wrap up the formula one title and instead it's an old favorite to try outs in texas.

the. saudi arabia's king and the crown prince mohammed bin solomon have offered their condolences to the slain journalist jamal family. has called a grave mistake but despite international outcry the crate kingdom has given contradictory. as to the killing inside its consulate in istanbul. president. reveal all details of his investigation into. death. to his u.s. counterpart donald trump on the phone and the two agreed on the need for clarity in the case. that the polls have closed it closed in afghanistan's parliamentary elections by violence and. at least forty five people were killed in attacks during the first day of voting and less than half of the country's eligible voters actually ballots

in the two days of polling according to a preliminary tally more now from charlotte balances in the capital kabul which saw the largest turnout. afghans queue outside this polling center in kabul patiently waiting for a chance to vote it's the second time the tries. of the nearly five thousand polling same says four hundred was slated to open a day late after a host of logistical issues because of security threats only two hundred fifty six actually opened it is a moment then being as neighborhood system of yesterday we came here to vote but there were a lot of irregularities and the biometric system was not working and there was lack of employees at the polling center. as the voting system is very weak and slow the voting started from this morning but so far only ten people have voted. their resilience is counted in ballot papers and lives. the government deployed seventy

thousand security forces to protect votes is this weekend the taliban said it would target the polls disparate to stop the democratic process the armed groups sees as an extension of american influence. this is the time to be proud of our national army national police and our intelligence forces for ensuring security but still violence slipped through the cracks the ministry of interior tell it up nearly two hundred taliban attacks nationwide on saturday. the worst came in kabul just after sunset voting seemed to should have been closed at the time but were extended to cope with the long queues of people still waiting to vote a suicide bomber tried to enter a polling station more than a dozen people were killed but it was said you should get out was there was a blast and i fell down on the ground blood was everywhere and there were many casualties don't know what happened next. afghans knew they were risking their

lives to vote the taliban have reminded them many times and yet they turned out in the millions defiant. young of the nine million registered to vote one third turned out on election day it's sunday will take up another million ballots with two provinces get to vote initial results will be revealed in three weeks these are the third parliamentary elections since the fall of the taliban in two thousand and one if this is the appetizer the main course is the presidential election and april despite logistical and security concerns forces themselves a more engaged and shallow ballasts out is there. jordan says it won't extend a peace treaty with israel allowing it to use two areas along its border the two territories are kura in the south of israel and al gammer in the north which were included in the one nine hundred ninety four peace deal between the two

countries israel says it was planning to negotiate an extension on the jordanian land which it says is mainly used by israeli farmers but the twenty five year lease will now expire next year or jordan's king abdullah has been under growing domestic pressure because of the deal eighty seven members of parliament signed a petition demanding the lease be scrapped completely you know. our priorities in this difficult regional climate is to protect our interests i think cooperation with you to build a strategy for the future is very important and to work in the interest of jordanians. have been one of our priorities for a long time but the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is still pushing for negotiations. in the peace treaty jordan reserves the right to reclaim territory in the her a mile long the jordan river and the so far on klav in southern israel and we will insert negotiations with jordan about the possibility of extending the existing

arrangement but there is no doubt that the accord as a whole is an important thing important and dear to both states daoud kuttab is a journalist in amman he says king of dollars decision is not a surprise. the king has kept the issue close to his chest and for months we've been waiting to find out which direction it's going to be i think the demonstrations and their efficiency by the members of parliament i think helped make a decision but i think the king might have had the decision all along well what is really troubling is not really what was happening in jordan but the fact that the process it with the palestinians that on the part americans were really not really cooperating with the jordanians and i think it was no motivation for jordan to really expand its hand or have a twenty five years of the treaty says that if by twenty first of october they join dany and don't request that it's renewed for twenty five years so by by making

a statement jordanian stop the automatic renewal they have a year to reach an agreement with the israelis on any other kind of error rates meant my bet is that there isn't going to be a longer another twenty five years it may be an arrangement for a few years just so that there is really farmers will finish their crops or whatever they're doing but i doubt that there will be an agreement for another five years thousands of refugees and migrants have entered mexico after crossing the guatemalan border that part of a cycle caravan of people coming from honduras el salvador and question and they're all trying to get to the united states in search of a better life the president trump has threatened to deploy troops if they don't that we can go live now to tapachula that's on the mexico guatemala border our correspondent there is john the home and john tell us what's going on around.

well the migrants have just the people here of just arrived at this puzzle maybe a couple of hours ago since then there's been a real battle in full as they tried to rest a bit you've got people around me just sleeping under a tarp pauline's here you go this way you can see sort of families younger children here and war people again on the top holdings in makeshift tents that they've just put up in the main plaza of this town now the latest estimates from local mexican authorities there are more than seven thousand people that have joined in this caravan most of them coming from honduras and the day they literally walked a marathon they walked about twenty five miles from see about the belgo another city on the mexican border to get here to the top which. we'd like to show you a bit about what it was like in the piece you going see now. after kilometer young and old men and women they keep on trudging it's

a multitude at least pull thousand people in the caravan that began in honduras. now they've made it through guatemala and into mexico in the last eight days they slept in the open and crossed hills and rivers. jonathan is only fourteen and traveling alone he's here for the same reason as everyone else he feels he doesn't have a chance in honduras. back home there's no work and too much crime. many like you sending in a trying to get a new start to provide for their families thing i mean i mean come on but i think when you look at a six year old boy my dad and my sister i have to help them there's not enough for food i've had my electricity and water cut everything is expensive and there's not enough to live on the many the end goal is the united states that's exactly what president trump is putting pressure on mexico to prevent. the police constantly seem about to close off the route the caravan bunches. together tent in the end the

offices simply watch the people go. it's an event locals in the villages turn out to have a look some give what they can see spirits are high but there's still a whole country to go on the sons really beating down our own people the already been walking at this point the six hours they carrying the few possessions on their back as they go men women and children but things are only going to get more difficult for them as they go deeper into mexico. the country's notorious for its web of migration checkpoints and for the gangs who prey on those traveling through saddling an illegal to something then maybe they know the danger day face from the authorities in organized crime drug cartels kidnap them and even killed them and that's been well documented so that's why they all grouped together. for the moment that's got them another small step closer to where they want to go i just made

a couple of calls here to the president's office to refer me to the foreign ministry who referred me to the migration department no one seemed to have a concrete plan about what to do with these movements seven thousand people on mexican soil in the end i got someone in the migration department that said well they'll be detained and they'll go for the migration process in the moment that's most apt now but isn't much required when you're going to have seven thousand people moving deeper into mexico in the following days weeks trying to get through that u.s. border what mexico where he doesn't want some sort of confrontation with the united states on the other side with the president truck of ministration we've been very hostile towards this sort of undocumented migration down home and live in tapachula on the mexico guatemala border. well they've been rallies in fifteen states across brazil in support of the far right presidential front runner j a

bolsa nardo he won the first round of the presidential vote on october the seventh in the polls now put him ahead of the leftist candidate for mandela dad for sunday's runoff have also been protests against those racist homophobic and sexist comments across the country. was that one of the rallies in support of the narrow in sao paolo. with less than a week to go until the second crucial round of voting in brazil presidential elections these are job also a lot of supporters seem to think they help them out and they certainly have around sixty percent rating in the opinion polls with the main challenger. back in a distant forty percent the supporters say won't be much concern about an investigation into her lead. illegal campaign funding a campaign of social media which is designed to undermine the integrity.

he doesn't there's not much interested in that campaign even if you knew about it there's not much you could have done about that he six months ago had a less than twenty percent approval rating in the opinion polls since that seems just struck a chord in the field electorate disillusioned with a corrupt political stop this a rising crime they certainly think that they are on a roll will win that sunday's election over same time will still has not been this popularised or this divided for many many years the u.s. national security adviser john bolton will face tough questions from moscow on monday this after donald trump said he'll pull out of a landmark nuclear weapons treaty president on this facing strong criticism from former soviet president mikhail gorbachev he's the one who actually signed the treaty nine hundred eighty seven with the then u.s. president ronald reagan service and has more from moscow. by signing this long ago she said nuclear treaty three decades ago former u.s. president ronald reagan and former soviet leader mikhail gorbachev how to remove

the threat of a new clue more of have loomed over europe for decades two thousand seven hundred missiles were destroyed and the world especially europeans felt relieved now president donald trump sas the u.s. wants to pull out of that treaty russia has violated the agreement they've been violating here for many years and. i don't know why president obama didn't ricocheted or pull out. and we're not going to let them violate the nuclear agreement and go out and do weapons and we're not allowed to whether one should have stayed in the agreement and we've done it but russia is not an orchard weight under the agreement so we're going to terminate the agreement we're going to pull out both the united states and russia have long blamed each other of violating the treaty which banned the deployment of missiles that can reach a distance of five hundred to more than five thousand kilometers rush accuses the

united states of deploying a missile defense system in eastern europe which could be used as an offensive weapon the u.s. as russia had developed a so-called no vater of nine seven two nine missile which it sas can reach an intermediate distance and therefore violates the treaty russia denies this in december last year russian president vladimir putin accused the us of looking for excuses so it can leave the treaty and put the blame on russia go by chance who's now eighty seven years old has called the u.s. plan to leave the treaty a mistake and told the russian news agency interfax that russian plan doesn't know where this will lead to the russian deputy foreign minister says it's a very dangerous step germany has urged the us to consider the consequences of its decision but the united kingdom says it fully backs a u.s. withdrawal and blames moscow for endangering the treaty donald trump's national security and.
