5:01 pm
promising to catch those responsible no matter who they are. the turkish president has been ratcheting up the pressure on saudi arabia's leadership in a speech in parliament the one described the killing of the journalist jamal. brutal and a premeditated murder was last seen entering the consulate in istanbul three weeks ago today mr erdogan wants an independent investigation into the killing he says he has no doubts about the saudi king is cooperation but didn't comment on of the royals among the questions. who ordered the operation he says all involved from quotes top to bottom must be held accountable for the crime during the address the president pointed the finger at eighteen suspects he wants
5:02 pm
extradited to turkey to stand trial and said should reveal the identity of a local person in istanbul they believe helped dispose of jamal remains. the saudi cabinet chaired by king solomon repeated its promise to hold to account those involved in the killing of her salty whoever they are all the wraps up the day's developments. chanted in a group members of the now after weeks of leaks about the murder of jamal khashoggi turkish president red chip tied to an address his ruling party to announce officially what turkish investigators know so far they are going to shoot him i do want said that it was planned days in advance and included reconnaissance missions by saudi officials to the forests around istanbul. uniondale we have strong evidence that this was a premeditated murder in the light of the information we have everybody has questions here are the questions these fifteen people why did they come to the
5:03 pm
temple on the day of the murder who ordered them to come to turkey we need an answer before his speech anyone had promised to reveal what he called the naked truth over the killing of khashoggi his address made it clear there are still many unanswered questions and the turks are demanding answers from saudi arabia. was asking what had been to that but the. while the people were expecting him to tell us what happened to the. which was amounts of whether the dismemberment of the body have been the video recording the audio recording these are all questions that are not. i do and he's spoken to king solomon about the shows he's murder says he doesn't doubt the credibility of the king he didn't refer to crown prince mohammed bin salmond but did say that everyone involved in the killing from top to bottom must be held accountable he said his last king salmond of course thought
5:04 pm
holy mosques or thought he saw its meaning i thrust you still as a king and you are responsible for to the holy sites what will come will endangered the kingdom and when they endanger the two holy sites so you have to move against your son this is the secret message the muslim world that everyone's party has described to show she's killing as a monstrous operation the president is demanding a full independent investigation and that the trial of the accused be held in turkey in doing so he's determined to keep up the pressure on saudi arabia to reveal the whole truth about what happened in istanbul three weeks ago victoria gate and be al-jazeera. well the trumpet ministration is watching all of this very closely white house correspondent kimberly hulk it will tell us more about that in a moment after we've been joined by cynical sort of in ankara cinema clearly mr has a very distinct idea of where he thinks this should head next.
5:05 pm
well pitts at present i don't speak actually created a lot of expectation when he first said that he's going to reveal every naked truth about this case and he received actually some critics from some circles that his speech was kind of mild but if i summarize his top points he actually formalized i what has been leaked to the international media and turkish media until now he drawled the borders say draw the line so that any speculation will be avoided from now and also he had a direct message to king saul mom while he was talking about king selma and his reference was the custody of the two holy more so he actually put the pressure of being the leader of the new world as saudi arabia you have the responsibility to enlighten the skase to disclose the details of this case and i have to
5:06 pm
remind that since the beginning of this case incidents actually present are gone has been talking to king solomon he never spoke to mohamed bin some of the crown prince while on the other hand mr donald trump has conducted his diplomatic talks through mohammed bin had been some and the son also one other detail was that president don believes that this is not only about jamal khashoggi this is also a case related to turkey because the spited cindy the murder was committed inside saudi territory at the consul general concept building it also assaulted turkey so varity because he tries to mean that turkey is not a country that there can you can do some blood of races and then get away with all those murders and best why he mentioned that from no one says it's a political murder if there are any other countries parties involved in this case they should be held accountable to then now we receive the signal that as this
5:07 pm
investigation goes the. friend they are we might be seeing some other suspects from other countries that are involved in this case don speech was actually a signal of that and one thing one other thing is that he wants to carry this investigation gen international level we want to be honest turkey alone cannot put any pressure over saudi arabia especially thinking that they have strong relationships because of the pilgrim because of being muslim because of economy especially when turkey's economy is very fragile so little news international support and until now the u.s. supports was actually has its head hesitating and mr trump has been hesitating since the beginning until he sent to cia director to turkey this morning and she's still in the meeting with her turkish counterpart in the turkish chief intelligence confidant so now we see that he's offering the eighteen suspects shall be tried in turkey through an independent investigation so now he sees i need international
5:08 pm
community i need you to deal with saudi arabia over this incident but of course he doesn't want to burn the bridges at all at the very first moment i sent him i'm sure you've seen them as well we've been watching the pictures of the crown prince mohammed bin salman attending the country's future investment conference he was there with king abdullah the second of jordan as well the two men sitting watching the opening ceremonies so for that part of the royal household it's apparently business as usual despite this strong speech from mr one. well yes of course salmon right after our dance speech we heard king selman saying that saudi arabia will hold a con those who are responsible of his murder and who fail to perform their duties responsibilities so now there is this question will he also hold to account the crown prince mohammed bin sound man who was unable to control his steam his
5:09 pm
intelligence officers because they say that they claim that the crown prince has no idea about what's going on and the murder was committed by a rogue element inside the city but the crown prince mohammed bin so man has spoken word on today and he hasn't shown up on media and his ten minutes appearance in this conference at the school friends in riyadh is probably a p.r. work but of course time will show whether king salmon is going to do something about that from france and whether he will receive some extra reaction after our don statement beginning from today and of course the cia what they're what the cia director will report to united states tonight it will be binding as well c.n.n. thanks very much live to washington correspondent kimberly how. this is so much more than just a plot that went awry that was donald trump just
5:10 pm
a few hours ago will mr speech have an impact on how mr trump has to react to this given that he's got his cia boss in turkey and he's got his treasury secretary in saudi arabia. right it appears that the president is looking for more information and we got that from the president directly when he spoke late yesterday as he departed on to air force one for texas he said very clearly you know that he has his top people in turkey we now know that as the cia director chief a houseful of he's also got people on the ground in saudi arabia i think what we're seeing right now is a scrabble by this white house to try and get information because the president said he's going to know a lot more in two days so that means either later today or even into wednesday but what we know is that we're going to hear more in terms of information from the u.s. secretary of state he is going to be speaking to reporters at nine hundred forty
5:11 pm
five we also are going to hear from the president potentially he will comment on this we'll get the first reaction it's not clear it's a planned event happening at eight hundred g.m.t. and then shortly after that we have the vice president notably meeting with the was detained in turkey pastor andrew bronson and his wife at the white house so there are a number of opportunities for them to comment on this speech and we know that we have to presume at least that they were watching very closely they've got their national security team watching this but it appears that the president as he has been doing almost from the beginning with this story he has been reserving judgment trying to gather information before he speaks ok you can believe we'll leave it there many thanks let's get to our diplomatic it is james bays who's at the u.n. headquarters building in new york now as far as mr and saudi arabia is concerned james the why you do a picture of diplomacy here how just how do we need to calibrate i was seeing that
5:12 pm
. well i think you need to look in some ways to what both want right now and i think that in some ways concerns the media narrative the saudis have tried and want to with all their various explanations different conflicting explanations to draw a line under this they desperately want this story off the news they want the headlines to recede remember it's been the top global headline for three weeks they're hoping that if the story disappears then they can get their act together they can regroup and they can try and fight this for the turkish side clearly they want to deal with the case they want justice but they also want to do whatever is in turkey's best interests and i think that right now president other one has decided is not to go right out and attack saudi arabia not to mention the crown prince not to bring up any tapes that they may have but to continue to keep this
5:13 pm
process going because i think he thinks that saudi arabia is actually more damaged by the drip drip continuous news story of this and by not coming out very very strongly he's not prevented saudi arabia from saying right well we said we cooperate but look at the outrageous allegations you're making and block that that cooperation between the two countries i think the turks are playing this very cleverly they know that this is all about all for influence in the regional power play that is the middle east and this will damage saudi arabia which in many ways could help turkey's regional standing with regard to key conflicts like libya like syria and like yemen but the relationship between washington and ankara as far as the trumpet ministration is concerned was pretty toxic from the get go because you had the andrew brunson situation ok there's been movement on that but you also had
5:14 pm
i think about up until what nine months ago you had mr. the one saying out loud explicitly look you've got someone living on u.s. soil who i believe was involved in the failed military coup of twenty sixteen i want you to extradite him to turkey and the united states said no way not going to happen. yes and i don't think that is likely to happen anytime soon particularly in an environment where we're talking about someone who was living in the u.s. who was murdered on turkish soil but i do think the turks are hoping this will recalibrate their relationship with the united states which as you say has been so bad since the attempted coup and certainly turks privately will tell you that they think there were members of the u.s. a stablish moment who had hoped that that coup had succeeded turkey i think could improve relations with the united states at the same time i think they except
5:15 pm
that the u.s. is standing in the middle east region is falling and this relationship with saudi arabia and now the criticism of saudi arabia could further further damage the u.s. is standing it is interesting that turkey almost came to blows with russia in twenty fifteen when they shot down that russian jet and yet now with regard to syria although turkey doesn't agree with russia at all turkey has been against the assad regime russia has been an ally of this regime but turkey has recognized that negotiating with russia is the way to sort out syria there's no point bothering with the u.s. they have very little influence now james thanks very much let's talk again to abraham price he's a professor of conflict resolution of the institute for graduate studies we're also seeing these reports that when there was this meeting aimed at reconciliation between king solomon and members of the ashaji family the crown prince was in the
5:16 pm
room at the time if we accept that as being true how significant is the fact that the crown prince was there while the cum prince being in there actually sends a message from king solomon that he has not abandoned his son and as being the one in charge and. for what but i think of saudi arabia in the moment and actually this is the. goes in accordance with the changes or with the actions of the city that can summon the euler goal when he sag to senior officials intelligence and media other person and also all of the baddest of eighteen individuals so what he did that actually he as his son to head the committee over restructuring the security a part of this and so that he saw the fact that we are seeing his son is with him in meeting with the. family i think this sends the message that he is on the same
5:17 pm
position of. keeping his son as part of the whole arrangement and he has not he has he's not responding to the pressure with it's direct or indirect from the outside world that he has to take action with regard to his son to the conference so that's i think what we are reading for the cell given king solomon's personality and his age he's not a young man the crown prince was thirty three got that got the gig when he was thirty one if he ascends to the throne he could be there for another fifty years so given that and given his free range aspects he does things he maybe doesn't think them through and i'm not being critical i'm trying to describe you know we think he is the the king think the crown prince is corrosive does he think he's toxic for the greater good of the kingdom well i think from what we saw the answer is no
5:18 pm
because he basically empowered him and gave him all the of that it is that he needed in order to run the country so he is you know that's the reason why he emerged as the most powerful pearson in saudi arabia but let's keep in mind that king so none of them has maintained an eye or kept an eye on. actions and we saw at least in two examples where the king said a man came forward and changed the action that was his son was they can which is one with regard to arm cool and the other one with regard to jerusalem when he was making. deals and working with them because of the got the jews i'm so king so mad i came and the story stopped the you know anything the in taken on these two front saw now we are seeing king seven stepping forward again and the trying to be you know to short the lead to show that the size of his that he has with along with his
5:19 pm
leadership and that's why we are seeing more of king some of these those but this is where you are absolutely right this is the question that what is going to happen in the next fifty years with the congress being the king and i think this is the question that concerning many in that russian communities and that could be actually one reason why the american position is changing on king on the ground on the conference specially as the latest example that we've seen changes with regard to his the closest ally jim caution out in washington d.c. so i think this a question of how you're going to deal with him being the king for the next fifty years i think that's having the international going to have a second thought about how they're going to deal with this crisis so it's not only about it's they show is much bigger with when the saudi the ship and the international community and i think why that's why we're seeing all this at the engine from the russian community abraham thank you so much of course we'll keep
5:20 pm
you right across all the developments coming to us istanbul and korea washington and indeed europe as these two competing narratives carry on plotting a course of the coming hours and days more news here on this channel of course and also for the website to sort of calm in the meantime let's just move on the next few minutes wrap up some of the top stories for you russia is warning it will quotes respond in. kind of the u.s. president follows through on his threat to ramp up production of nuclear weapons don't trump says he'd make the move unless other countries come to their senses quotes in recent days he announced plans to pull out of a nuclear weapons treaty limiting the number he says russia has violated the kremlin denies those allegations donald trump's national security adviser john bolton is due to meet the russian president that he may put in in moscow very soon . the u.n. human rights committee is calling on france to review its ban on clothing that covers the face critics have called it a de facto ban on islamic face veils the committee says the twenty ten law is
5:21 pm
a violation of women's rights david chaytor has more now from paris. this case was brought before the u.n. human rights committee by two women who each fined one hundred seventy dollars for wearing the full face veil now this is that this nation that was brought in by nicolas sarkozy back in twenty ten and it was meant to make sure for security reasons that nobody could disguise their face and it's been a real debate ever since i would say simmons was passed about the secular traditions inside france the fact that there needs to be social cohesion but what the un human rights committee have said is that essentially has marginalized these women it's meant they've had to stay within within their own communities it's meant that they they can go out and they in the way they want to it's restricted their religious freedom and they've given france one hundred eighty days to review the
5:22 pm
legislation and they've also asked for compensation for the two women but of course the u.n. human rights committee ruling is not binding on france in fact the european court of human rights supported the french ban in twenty fourteen so this debate continues it's a very controversial area and as i say. the most recent case where this came to notice was that a criminal who made a spectacular escape from a prison in a hijacked helicopter was only spotted by police because he was wearing a burka or apparently disguised himself but they notice he was walking like a man and that's how he was actually apprehended by the police that's very much always coming up in press coverage here in france seven thousand migrants and refugees are defying warnings from donald trump by continuing their march towards

what's really driving people despair on monday eleven children and their families were taken off the roof and brought to australia for urgent medical attention for the remaining fifty two children the answer may be a transfer to new zealand so far astray as government has resisted an offer by new zealand's prime minister to resettle refugees there because of a quirk in australia is a visa rules just aboard a plane to come here foreigners need a proof rice australian visa but new zealand do not the government says refugees might start a new zealand but then come across to australia later breaking it's never australia terence policy. the government wants to put lifetime bans on refugees from ever coming to australia even if they become new zealand citizens something the labor opposition party has been against but compromise may be needed to get children off the roof fast added thomas al-jazeera sydney now a fifty five kilometer stretch of road linking hong kong to the chinese mainland

5:29 pm
a dozen cities on the mainland the journey once took four hours the commute will now take around thirty minutes. you currently need to use vessels to transport cargo to macau when the bridge is open the freight land transport can reach macau in a much shorter period of time and i believe cargo owners will prefer us the bridge will be run by trade ministrations hong kong but how and china for traffic will go by china's rules cattle drive on the right and told to be paid in chinese currency i want some private vehicles will be given permits to mine mine or transport will be tourist buses and trucks easing the flow of cargo from the mine. but not everyone supports the new bridge it was over budget behind should you and up to ten workers died during construction critics also say it's another attempt by china to tighten its grip on hong kong and undermine its autonomy it's not just for visual impact it's almost like
