because this is 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 my come out of washington well kimberly how could so joins me live now from washington so kimberly how how people there have been digesting all of this particularly the shifting narratives coming from saudi arabia. yeah well the u.s. . administration terms of the trumpet ministration certainly is taking a cautious stance and in advance of u.s. elections i can tell you that this is not playing well with ordinary americans given the fact that it seems that this is ministration is currently speaking out of both sides of its mouth what we heard my colleague mike hanna reporting there certainly donald trump is now acknowledge that there has been some deception but at

the same time we still hear the administration defending its relationship with saudi arabia calling it an incredible ally and even the crown prince saying in an interview recently donald trump saying that he really is the guy that can kind of keep things under check this is something that as the world condemns what's happened and as having trouble except in the explanations the shifting explanations coming out of saudi arabia that it tends to be that the american public is more in line with the u.s. congress in terms of its reactions than the white house and this is obviously there with those midterm elections coming up in just over two weeks there are a number of issues on the minds of voters there in the u.s. well how how is this story playing into all of that. well certainly when it comes to the u.s. election the economy is one thing that a lot of americans are primarily focused on but certainly this is getting wall to

wall coverage on all of the networks and this is not sitting well typically americans tend to in the lections focus on sort of domestic issues they look inward and are somewhat insular but this is a story that seems to have a lot of americans at least scratching their heads a some of them for the first time not even realizing just how much money goes in support of saudi arabia for example when it comes to the u.s. led conflict in yemen so this is an opportunity where many americans who may not have been focused on foreign policy issues are now looking at it and saying i'm not sure i want my tax dollars going to this sort of thing i'm not sure i want my tax dollars going to arm sales in the hundreds of billions to having those weapons dropped on children in yemen that there is massive starvation that's going on in yemen and their dollars are in some way contributing to that so in terms of americans directly making the connection when they go to the ballot box i would say

that the story for the first time is making that connection in a way that it has not in the past. in washington thank you. well joining us on set now is mohammed chair kerry professor of conflict resolution at george mason university thanks again. so. where do you think what's your take on where the investigation is going right now also for the public opinion in the united states in europe and elsewhere. rejects of the saudi i'm not so it's no longer a mother of how we justify what happened what matters now is what will reveal to morrow and now we have high expectations since he said he would reveal everything because he's pursuing justice to the sugars is that however i'm not really excited about this statement since this is in the middle of a process between israel and washington so is he going to reveal everything for the

sake of justice or there will be some diplomatic political manipulation of parts of the. evidence that we seek you know so this is what i am standing now so far it's about revealing what happened that would convince us worldwide how. the other boys would go back to the same drip drip of money prelate of evidence and what implications this is going to have for the for the saudi leadership particularly the crown prince mohammed bin salmen. the and certainly the leadership there is is shielding him from that we had the foreign minister added to bear saying he knew nothing. had been said many nothing about this how is that going to play out long well i don't think that this narrative that m.b. as didn't know will stick for a while and i manage some other off crisis management and later on some of these

individuals may switch to another narrative so this is a very transformative narrative according to the time. of it however the saudis have to come. clean other ois they will be receiving mixed signals from western capitals especially from washington because the white house is trying to find an exit what i'm b.s. who would remain in power however the entire establishment the congress and all the best solutions are asking for some scrutiny and alice we don't get it from the turks or from the saudis i go back to my original suggestion let have let's have a. team of investigators to have something else but also in this process otherwise should not be left neither to the saudis know to the turks how much our cali thanks very much. plenty more ahead on this news hour. and acknowledged. the tyranny of invisible suffering. australia's

signed between ronald reagan and michael make i'll go about chart first in one nine hundred eighty seven it was seen as the most fundamental fact that would actually avoid a nuclear war not only the whole world was very relieved but also specific specifically europeans because they faced that threat immediately of these cruise missiles who could land in europe but only in the last couple of years russia and the united states have been blaming each other for consequently file a thing this treaty and the flooding of putin only in december accused the united states of actually the liver of the liberty looking for excuses to pull out of the treaty so they actually could build up again nuclear weapons to counter the threat from china steadfast and lifeless in a moscow. the latest suspected attack by rebels in the democratic republic of

hello again you're watching i do see a reminder of our top stories this hour a spokesman for turkey's ruling ak party says it has a responsibility to reveal the truth about what they call a monstrously planned murder of saudi journalist. follows a statement earlier by turkish president an act party the wretched type when he's vowed to reveal all about his country's investigation into the killing on tuesday. saudi foreign minister. has described death as a huge and grave mistake he denies crown the crown prince ordered the killing of hamad bin sandman and the saudi king have called specialities family to offer their condolences indonesia's president has joined a growing chorus of world leaders calling for

a thorough investigation jocko we don't owe told a visiting saudi foreign minister for transparency was needed his comments echoed those from germany the u.k. france and others. are two main narratives are emerging here one from turkey's investigation team the other is the changing saudi explanation turkish investigators say they have evidence the journalist was violent violently killed in the saudi consulate almost three weeks ago the turks say while he was being killed the team of assassins phoned the saudi crown prince his personal assistant four times and more than two weeks after he disappeared saudi leaders eventually admitted he had been killed accidentally they say during a scuffle they continue to deny though the crown prince mohammed bin men had any knowledge of the killing of the journalist who was a critic of his new video now emerging suggests a planned operation

a man dressed in fresh clothes is seen leaving the consulate through the back door investigators have identified him as more stuff danny one of the fifteen saudis sent to. well not joining us now on set is james stock he is a retired investigator with london's metropolitan police good to have you with us so let me ask you first of all these two competing narratives based on on your experience in this and what's been put out there which one looks more credible to you. probably go for neither but why is that because the really. inept in both cases really the the stories here seem to suggest different things but no one really that that would satisfy all of the facts as we think we know them at the moment so i think there's a lot more this that needs to come out of to know exactly what the turkish

government is going to release tomorrow. in terms of facts and. you know love to be able to. hear the the the older recordings if if they do really exist because you know again the bin there's been dates with and whether or not they do exist whether or not the technology that was originally stated to have made the recording actually is capable of doing it how much how much information can you can you get from a recording from all of the voices that were quite a lot because obviously the victim has a huge back catalog of audio. because of his profession and you know the programs he's appeared in the the conferences that he's given speeches and so you know from a from a being able to at least identify him within the any conversation it should be very clear whether or not there's an allegation that it staged. well whether it really

is the victim in the old you i want about the forensics aspect to this song paulson and the. suggestion from the from the types that there was painting over. recent painting and all that sort of stuff my heart goes out to the investigators because in murder investigations we talk about the golden hour the first hour after the murders taking place and the amount of material that we can gather it during that time the witnesses that we can see. in this situation it's two weeks i think before they're even alert anywhere near the scene. and by the time whilst they would appear to find something i don't know just again how much they've found. and how significant that will be certainly if they

find something then you know there will be forensic scientists somewhere who will be able to give them a story about whether or not a lever be. evidentially capable of proving what took place no idea. the reports earlier that were coming through turkish media was that they were able to present a picture of way each person was in the room at the time it happened based on. the forensics and the recording and so on it's something like that possible. i'd like to say yes. i don't really know whether it is or not to be to be honest because. two weeks after the event if we're talking purely on a forensic basis we're talking from an audio basis they will if they if they were for instance to say well the victim was in this position they will be from the signed the signs and know in the room that it was recorded in the may be able to draw a picture of where certain people were. whether or not they can actually give you

a really good version of events again. unfortunately you know the investigators were there two weeks after the event. is at the moment questionable until someone actually proves where it came from. i didn't even read that there was video if there's video then yes i could tell you probably with perfect clarity exactly what took place in the room but clearly at the moment. you know there's no sign of this video good to speak of you james thank you very much for being with us thank you very much. we failed to listen and we failed to provide justice the words delivered by australia's prime minister as he gave an apology to survivors of child sex abuse scott marston's emotional speech follows a five year inquiry which lifted the lid on decades of horrific crimes in churches schools and other institutions and agri thomas reports from camera. the most the

apology is decades and a five year inquiry which ended last year heard from thousands of victims who asked children suffered sexual abuse by people they were supposed to trust priests in churches teaches in schools kara's in orphanages coaches in sports clubs the stories of what they inflicted on appalling to die a stray or confronts a trauma. an abomination hiding in plain sight for far too long it was so many survivors as most prefer to be called that a ballot was held to get into parliament to hear the apology others watched outside well then ian 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 is 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 near i for a where they want peace and so authority. priced interests of 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 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 died

before i 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 the compensation schemes don't go far enough so that many people on their larger committed suicide what are we doing for their families. sorry only goes so far after thomas al-jazeera camera. britain's prime minister theresa may is due before the u.k. parliament in the next few hours she is facing another mutiny within her fractured conservative party over the direction of talks on leaving the european union the biggest sticking point in the brakes in negotiations is the future of the irish border both sides want to avoid customs and border checks between ireland an e.u. member and northern ireland which is part of the u.k.

the rights of the u. citizens in the u.k. and vice versa and getting an extension or an implementation period as she calls it beyond next march. in which the u.k. will continue to try to negotiate a trade deal with the european union but she has been open in the last few days to the idea of extending that period and that's something that has angered many of backbench m.p.'s particularly the hard bricks it hears and there has been a lot of aggressive talk in the press in the last twenty four hours some m.p.'s anonymously saying that she has entered the killings zone and that assassination is in the air we have heard such talk before it's been condemned by pro remain m.p.'s i should add it's not clear exactly how much of a rebellion there is right now she'll meet driesum a meets the cabinet on tuesday our rescue teams in taiwan worked through the night
