8:03 pm
phone and agreed on the need for clarity about what happened to study journalist. indonesia's president has joined a growing chorus of world leaders calling for a thorough investigation just a weirdo though told the visiting saudi foreign minister full transparency was needed his comments echo those from germany the u.k. france and others. saudi foreign minister meanwhile has described the shelties death as a grave mistake denied by crown prince mohammed bin son man who was involved saudi king and the crown prince who many suspect of ordering the killing of called g.'s family to offer their condolences. with me now is muhammad sharp professor of conflict resolution at george mason university good to have you with us so let's start with the latest line so we understand that the turkish leader larger type of the while he's going to make a speech and reveal or how do you read that statement i think we should not read
8:04 pm
too much into what some of the and we'll reveal because i think he will conservative some diplomatic issues before telling us what happened so we may know half of the story or part of the story but not the whole story and we should not ignore the one fundamental fact that do turkish authorities have not given us as much except a few licks here and drip drip drip over there's been a lot of innovation that's come out indirectly from leaks though things right down to the hells of how he was killed and hacked up and you know quite a few grisly details of the people doing this apparently listening to music and stuff this came from an official sources there hasn't been released officially so now i asking myself this question is you going to give us the whole details of what happened since the moment you walked into the consulate he became
8:05 pm
you know a lost case or this is still part of the diplomatic maneuvering reserve area on the one hand and washington on the other hand although i question the fact that it's coming on tuesday after what now three three with saudi versions of events and the fact that it's over the wire and it's not a minor official of the head of just the investigation releasing this doesn't that say something about how perhaps tougher stance turkey is taking on this issue right now that it's not accepting the saudi narratives well nobody is except in various narratives that don't add up bo the saudis have lost their case with the public opinion i don't think that the. turks are on a much better ground so i would like to go back to my orignal idea on day three of this scandal turkey should have invited a u.n. team of investigators to take over and to have an impartial and objective
8:06 pm
assessment of all the evidence if not then we are going to face another day of solver on the work turks have cover than the versus what the saudis should protect so this is going to be more of an exchange that's not going to tell us much about the fate of mr hersh therefore both trucks are not fulfilling what the investigation should be like they think the strategy here is perhaps to put pressure by turkey making tomorrow the sort of statement that we're expecting which might undermine the saudi narratives actually intended to put pressure on congress to then put pressure on the saudis i think out of the house. and effective tactic let's marks in my eyes the pressure on this point and the. risk of that happens to be a good diplomatic tool no he is all investing in this to reconcile his differences
8:07 pm
with the white house and with the establishment in washington so we need to consider all this context to be able to figure out why he has delayed the announcement of the evidence till now and why he is talking about as you mentioned is there he will explain why the fifteen saudis arrived in istanbul why the eighteen saudis are been arrested in riyadh so these are parts of the story but not the entire story thank you very much for analysis of my puter. well the latest suspected attack by rebels in the democratic republic of congo has killed at least fifteen people fifteen of those mostly children were abducted the attack in benny near the border with uganda could be a major setback to containing an outbreak of ebola virus but on the home as more. they attack is came in the middle of the night as they have so many times before the true cost of the violence in and around the northeastern city of binny only

8:09 pm
moving to the democratic republic of congo after failing to tune uganda into an islamic state in ghana says they're aligned with somalia's al shabaab fighters. and binny is vulnerable to another killer at least one hundred eighteen people are dead from in a bowl outbreak but the world health organization has suspended operations due to the violence. people in the northeast say president joseph kabila has abandoned them. by how many terms we consolidated in the hall as soon as it is time for us to take charge of security if you here now believe the president's promises that the killings only medium the hardened al jazeera. we fail to listen we failed to provide justice those were some of the words delivered by australia's prime minister gave a national apology to survivors of child sex abuse scott morrison is emotional
8:10 pm

8:11 pm
. well they mean demarco fought off a catholic teacher who tried to abuse him and he saw the teacher abuse others demarco was selected to hear the apology in parliament but last week he was wary of what we said yeah i would like to hear what i have to say. and what they plan to do ensure that it doesn't repeat itself after hearing the apology demarco approved of the tone and nature just fantastic. this isn't the end this is the beginning this is the beginning of a new year i hope for you where people in prison so authority. interest the children for their own personal interest during his two speeches and meeting people on the lawns outside parliament scott morrison was at times heckled some feel he's a hypocrite but what his government is currently doing to refugee children held in the prison island of nuru is
8:12 pm
a new form of child abuse others feel this apology is too little too late hundreds of people were here in person to hear the apology but thousands were not many don't wait before they got the chance to hear an apology to them by an australian prime minister a chair was left empty at the front of the hall to symbolize them and many others boycotted the apology altogether some feel angry that institutions such as the catholic church continue to receive hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayers' money to run schools and that compensation schemes don't go far enough so many people lost their large in committed suicide what are we doing for their families. sorry only goes so far after thomas al-jazeera camera. in the race to become the next president of brazil supporters of far right front runner to have held rallies in fifteen states rival demonstrations were organized in protest

8:15 pm
difficult for them as they go deeper into mexico. the country is notorious for its web of migration checkpoints and for the gangs who prey on those traveling through she said illegal to simply and then maybe they know the danger day face from the authorities in organized crime drug cartels kidnap them and even kill them and that's been well documented that's why they are grouped together. for the moment that's got them another small step closer to where they want to go john home and. choppers only theo who's been living in exile since making a political gesture at the olympic games in rio has returned home for you sell us a copy they handcuff sign used by protesters new theo pearce he crossed the line to win silver in the rio two thousand and sixteen marathon hundreds of demonstrators from his own roma community were killed as the authorities cracked down but a new prime minister has pursued

a reconciliation strategy even less said to be welcomed home. on sunday we. knew the stay was coming because i knew the blood of all these people wasn't going to be spilled in vain i knew the dictator government would eventually fall i was expecting this day but i didn't know it was going to be today or tomorrow but i had clearly in my mind that i would go back to my father's land a life. for decades the drawings zone news stood as the from two between two countries still technically at war north and south korea now relations seem to warm the d.m.z. is the trying to more and more tourists from around the world to capitalize the south koreans have opened a new observe it should be able to take a peek towards the secretive northern neighbor. as eugene human to hide look. we're here at the new tour observatory inside the heavily guarded demilitarized zone just two kilometers south of the intercooler border perched on top of
8:17 pm
a hill this is the only spot where civilians can get a panoramic view of north korea from this side of the peninsula to come this close you must sign up for a group tour then go through a military checkpoint security is tight as the two countries are still technically at war just north of the border a very you can see the joint industrial complex in kaesong now that was shut down in twenty sixteen and made escalating tensions over north korea's nuclear and missile tests just last month though the two sides set up a joint liaison office bringing back life into the once deserted area right next to it under that huge flagpole is the north korean propaganda village also sitting inside the d.m.z. and a bit further north is the truth village of pun john where south korean president lee in a north korean leader kim jong un received international spotlight by holding their first historic summit in the april. maybe it's because of heightened expectations
8:18 pm
but north korea doesn't look as scary anymore before it felt like north korea was the enemy but now it feels like reunification may come soon. many domestic and foreign tourists come here as the d.m.z. has become a symbol of into current peace and coexistence so we built a new observatory to meet such an increase in demand with a better view more than six decades after the korean war ended in an armistice and not a peace treaty roughly six hundred thousand visitors come here every year to see the communist country up close and there will be no shortage of visitors as long as the momentum for peace continues. and let's take you through some of the headlines here on al-jazeera now turkey's president says he'll reveal all on tuesday about his country's investigation into the killing of jamal khashoggi earlier age of tiber two and donald trump spoke on

8:21 pm
8:22 pm
hello and welcome to the program on iran come on u.s. president donald trump says there is clearly deception and lies about how saudi journalist was killed and he says he's not satisfied until he finds all and says he's caused doubt on saudi arabia's explanations which have changed several times since disappeared it has been criticized for defending the kingdom and refusing to give up lucrative deals to riyadh with billions of dollars we'll speak to all guests in a moment but first reports from washington d.c. . trying to campaign on the west coast us president donald trump couldn't get away from the questions about jamal khashoggi is murder it was pretty much all reporters asked about as for the saudi explanation the president had this response well i'm 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 answer he says that could come by tuesday but he again insisted that what is most important to him the money that
8:23 pm
saudi arabia spends in the u.s. the amounts of been changing over time one hundred ten billion four hundred fifty billion it's four hundred fifty thousand jobs four hundred fifty billion dollars six hundred thousand jobs it's over a million jobs but experts say those numbers are simply not true not accurate not even close the administration the white house is operating on this false narrative that saudi arabia that we depend on saudi arabia that saudi arabia has arms purchases support american industry that they know that they we need them they don't need us that they can go someplace else that's not an accurate narrative and it isn't persuading saudis critics in congress or in the press who are increasingly pointing the finger directly at the saudi crown prince mohammed bin psalm on the publisher of who should use former newspaper the washington post is accusing saudi arabia of trying to cover up his murder and the editorial board is urging people
8:24 pm
worldwide to shun saudi arabia intil the kingdom changes writing the first step in that process is determining the full truth about the coup shoji murder and holding its likely author mohammed bin solomon fully accountable for the vice president joe biden seemed to agree the rest of 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. n.b.s. saudi arabia well i know my lord he's making excuses by the way you know that all expression some people bring a gun to a knife fight where you don't bring your own saws to flights the anger shows no signs of abating this is the straw that broke the camel's back as far as the united states is concerned that these other incidents i think he's gotten a pass on. he's not going to get
8:25 pm
a pass on this. it seems the biggest question in washington now how big of a price could saudi have to pay pedicle again al-jazeera washington. let's bring in our guest joining us here in doha manager professor of conflict resolution at george mason university in london andrew smith spokesman for the campaign against arms trade and in istanbul joining us on skype andrew finkel a co-founder of p twenty four and a foreign correspondent in turkey for over two decades a warm welcome to you all i would not so with you know how in chicago here in doha first in the last twenty four hours we've seen u.s. president donald trump go from saying this our investigation is credible to saying he's not satisfied but it is a good first step at the same time we've had the saudis release a little bit more information about what happened inside that consulate when jamal
8:26 pm
khashoggi was killed why the about face why the turning around both from the u.s. president's and why the saudis releasing more information that seemingly contradicts everything else that's come in the last eighteen days the common link between the media and washington is both sides are trying to manage a crisis not to resolve the main question what happened and who should take the blame so it's more of a symbolic gesture of half admission the narrative in riyadh has shifted from oh he left the concert now he something happened maybe he was killed by mistake it reminds me of the textbook of the views of the local to be crisis where he denied and after a few years just admit in you know that by the way by then at the end he was dick he took the blame so from this side of the from pi think he is trying to contain all of this shift within the establishment that some congressmen some senators are
8:27 pm
pushing for a rupture with their i mean they believe it has become a liability he believes it is still an asset he is trying to manage both ways he has delivered in more than one knot if to each community why the saudis what are the saudis up to they seem to be throwing out. information the hope thing that something like stake in the narrative might change but it isn't nobody's believing exactly it's a tooley to wyckoff a narrative they did not they haven't given us in a thing to work with in terms of a cliffhanger coming up with some justification or logic and entered a petition of what happened so this is the typical realists kind of behind normal conspiracy once it's blue in their faces they don't seem to have an adequate response then either i think they have also and that is to maintain the international pressure europe has pushed away and some other voices are now asking for the question what happened so this is i think something that m.b. s. and his advisors did not even think about it of that he was sure he was a symbol
8:28 pm
a guy who could have been raised from the first of the earth and nobody would ask a question and also believe this is something that illustrates a higher degree of overt of confidence and b.s. believed that he would have covered up all of them but a lot of trump all the way but i think now it has blown up in his face let's bring in the view from a stumble overhead and you think a long time foreign correspondent in turkey surely all the turks have to do is release a comprehensive report of all the leaks that have taken place over the last eighteen days and that blows the saudi narrative out of the water why haven't the turks done that yet well in a sense they've been clever in that they're innocent drip drip drip at least the terrorists i think possibly to their own surprise have been in the driving seat be trapped behind its own narrative and they're the ones of course who have made it
8:29 pm
impossible for the truck to exist they let it be known every day a different little story and different little different detail about what's been going on in the true horror of what happened when when. we went inside the consulate so in a sense it suits their interests better to keep the story on the boil this way rather than to just you know produce an indictment and then get it over but why is that why the drip drip drip why keep the story on the boil. well i think there's two reasons i think one is that there's that don't read genuine sense of outrage that is horrible murder happened on turkish soil and it happened you know under their sovereignty and now and in defiance so there. has to shop be was fairly well connected with the turkish establishment and i think you know there are people who feel a genuine sense of outrage but on the other hand the they do have it does strategic
8:30 pm
interest in this in which they are trying to embarrass and undermine the you know the saudi leadership the crown prince they don't like him they they are on different sides of the fence in many issues america very happy to see is our party and status undermined so radically in world public opinion let's bring in andrew smith campaign against arms trade in london andrew the us president donald trump is almost ring fenced the sales of arms to saudi arabia saying it's just not worth putting that in jeopardy keeps using this figure of one hundred ten billion dollars a quick fact check that figures suggest that it's nowhere near that amount of money a lot of this was negotiated on the obama administration and much of it is just letters of interest and no actual sales yet however the arms trade is now between the u.s. and saudi arabia is in thermally in the spotlight because of this all this ring fencing that's going on why has it taken the death of a journalist to put
8:31 pm
a spotlight on the arms trade between saudi and the u.s. . well for decades now the u.s. government has been by far the largest arms dealer in the world where it's been under republican rule where it's been under democratic rule and saudi arabia has been by far one of the largest buyers of u.s. arms in time and it shouldn't take the death of a journalist to put a spotlight on x. it shouldn't take the death of a journalist for politicians to reconsider whether it is right or wrong to sell weapons to one of the most abusive dictatorships in what old right now you are seeing the backdrop of the terrible compartment of yemen which is created one of the worst humanitarian catastrophes in the world and u.s. weapons have played a central role in that bombardment and yet the politicians who are no reason questions were all very happy for these arms sales to continue then they were perfectly happy for the arms sales to continue when u.s.
8:32 pm
bombs were destroying hospitals and u.s. bombs were destroying schools and when u.s. bombs destroyed a school bus only two months ago killing dozens of children what we need to see is a fundamental change an end to arms sales are varying from world ends to the idea of profit reputed ahead of human rights and human lives and i hope that if there's any good to come if this terrible atrocity i hope is that it does lead to change and that politicians do take action and that the voice of arms companies is no longer so dominant in the corridors of power but is always going to be the case when something is so valuable in this thought just the us you have great britain as well which supplies much of saudi arabia's air force with its technology and weaponry of germany as well now germany has actually come out and says we're taking a look at arms sanctions over britain and the us have not used such strong language why is germany leading the way on this why isn't it the us all or britain
8:33 pm
. well in the case of germany actually what the german government has said and what the german government have done has not necessarily been the same thing for years and have a german government is always an instance reconsidering arms sales to say deal a b. and yet the arms sales have always continued it's the same with this punish government which six weeks ago and instead was going to end bomb sales decided abia and then five weeks ago and i inspire actually it was doing a u. turn and they were going to continue the sales so it isn't just the u.s. and the u.k. that have got to rank hypocrisy at the heart of their foreign policy but in terms of what's happening in the u.k. we know where public opinion stands on the matter because paul after paul has shown that the vast majority of people here are firmly opposed to arms sales to sadia libya in fact to pull taken in february fine but only six percent of people in the u.k. support these arms sales and with no reason to believe that the public and other countries as any.
