trump for his parts once again questioning the turkish narrative in an interview with usa today overnight saying that he seems to think it was a plots that have gone a ride those are his words he questions the boden saw part of the narrative for example is he still raising questions but then whenever donald trump is pushed he always suggests that he would feel a great deal of personal betrayal if it was to transpire that the crown prince or the king himself did have something to do with it so that's the wildcard which suggests what does that mean them if incontrovertibly evidence does come up that the u.s. will act rather or will it be business as usual with president obama was a great example of this he would be rhetorical very tough with the saudis once things have blown over he basically of the saudis whatever they wanted without just without power and just continue once this all does don't really blow over don't trump they're saying in that interview with usa today there that he would be prepared to take congressional direction on any action against the saudis once the

10:15 pm
a brutal and premeditated murder in an address to parliament. and demanded answers about his death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul three weeks ago. saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman have met members of family in riyadh including his son jamal khashoggi king solomon has promised to hold to account anyone found responsible for the journalist death whoever they may be. meanwhile the investigation into the killing continues in istanbul police found a suitcase and other items in a car belonging to. the international outcry over casualties killing has overshadowed the start of saudi arabia's investment conference in riyadh saudi crown prince mohammed bin soundman attended the event despite accusations that he ordered casualties death or at least knew about it dozens of top business executives government leaders and media companies pulled out after the genista speech disappeared three weeks ago. that's how the crown prince has
10:16 pm
projected himself as a reformer and modernize a. case as shine a spotlight on other policies he's led since coming to power had been sound man is considered the driving force behind the blockade of cutter saudi arabia along with the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt cut ties with doha in june last year there was the mysterious detention of the lebanese prime minister in riyadh in november south hariri unexpectedly announced his resignation from the saudi capital but withdrew it after returning to lebanon the crown prince is a major driver of the saudi led coalition's war in yemen at least ten thousand people have been killed since twenty fifteen and the country is on the brink of famine and finally is spared a so-called anti corruption crackdown dozens of saudi princes officials and prominent business men were detained without charge at the new curious ritz carlton in riyadh christa only director of the council for our british understanding joins
10:17 pm
me now for more discussion of the whole affair and just moments on man himself now that we've heard from meadow on and it wasn't perhaps. people expected what is going in someone's position there how safe is he. well this is a man has acquired an enormous amount of power in saudi arabia for a crown prince he's the effective day to day ruler and really for the last year he has taken all the major centers of power in saudi arabia on his own control so it's very difficult to see how those senior princes the sort of members of the royal family the upper echelons of of they also would who could actually now push him aside it would certainly be done only with the consent and the agreement of the king and it's unlikely that he would do that with his favorite son but that said he's damaged goods. his reputation is this young reformer well that's really been
10:18 pm
ripped apart by this whole affair internationally but also within saudi arabia so he's certainly not in the sort of skew procession that we saw say a month ago if there are yet further revelations which were sort of hinted at in president other ones speech today that actually directly implicate him his office even more in the killing and coverup of. then perhaps his future is going to be under very very close scrutiny and given all the areas of foreign policy that he's been involved in so closely linked with if as you say he's damaged goods would it be apposite a point at which the saudi arabian government can say actually if we do put him sidelined him or move him aside then we can reset our foreign policy on some of those areas like yemen and so on. question there are many princes who think that there are many saudis who might like to see that though of course there are some who still support this who do actually back what he's doing it's not pretend
10:19 pm
otherwise so it's not really clear you know this is like criminology i mean what goes on in the inner sanctum of the the fifteen thousand or so saudi princes who get a say in all of this so i think it's really difficult i think it depends how long this whole thing is going on for i mean it's already gone for three weeks so that's that's extraordinary of itself does it have much more mileage now now that we know is murdered find we're going to possibly discover the body perhaps now be some more investigation does but one wonders will the media get tired of the story before long and does it hinge on what the american response is and we know that president trump and others and then mr been saying will be a response but they've been delaying it what do you think they will come up with now. this is fascinating and i think that the senate is key congress is key in this because that been very many senior senators who have made some very very robust
10:20 pm
statements saying it can't be business as usual that we have to impose sanctions to be a penalty proper accountability at times president trump has acute echoed that he said there should be severe punishment and other times he said well i'm not going to damage and risk our very lucrative business arrangements the saudi investment in the united states over this at all even though i'm not happy so just quite what the american policy will be perhaps they're hoping that they can sort of write this out and then return relations to where they were before i think that now is really difficult to to see happening not least because of opposition on capitol hill christiane thank you very much indeed for the instructor thank you you thank. now that is demanding a credible and transparent investigation into casualties killing the chief for the leak and we're getting any says the blocks reaction will depend on saudi answers a time against one honest wherever in the world is
10:21 pm
a crime against freedom of speech freedom of information and as such i would say it's a crime against our societies everywhere in the words i want to way of life in particular in europe our principles our values it's a crime against all of us. are diplomatic editor james bays is with me now from the united nations james i mean any momentum towards a u.n. investigation. well certainly human rights groups want to u.n. investigation they say that is the best way to have a transparent investigation there are vested interests here with saudi arabia and turkey who don't like each other and they say that the best way to do it would be to have an independent international investigation now the u.n. secretary ass and the secretary general antonio terrace who happens to be visiting washington d.c. as we speak he's about to have a meeting with the u.s. secretary of state or of the view that they could organize such an international
10:22 pm
investigation but only if they were actually invited and requested to do so and if you look at the precedent of the past there are only several ways this could happen it could happen because one of the connected countries and that could be i think the scene of the crime turkey saudi arabia which is alleged to be the perpetrator or the u.s. which was the the residence of mr skirts those those are all possible countries that could request it the other possibilities i think are a request from one of the main bodies of the u.n. the u.n. security council the u.n. human rights council of the u.n. general assembly i can tell you for now though no request has been made by any of those countries or any of those bodies and in the meantime what have you been hearing at the u.n. on the situation in yemen. well of course this is in some ways
10:23 pm
a connected issue the un security council is meeting to discuss the situation in yemen which is only getting worse and of course the situation in yemen is in part a result of the intervention of the saudi led coalition so it's yet another area in which saudi arabia faces international scrutiny and criticism and certainly a meeting called by the british ambassador karen pearce to update the security council see speaking now has just heard from the humanitarian chief of the united nations mark lowe cockney he looked last briefed the u.n. security council on the twenty first of september he then said that he felt that the numbers at risk willow to rise to eleven million people he's now revised that and said our estimates are much worse than we thought just a few weeks ago he's now saying fourteen million people in yemen that's half the
10:24 pm
population are at risk he told the security council there's now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great famine engulfing yemen he went on to be much bigger than anything any professional in this field has encountered during their working lives james bales thank you very much seven thousand why going to reckon jews are ignoring donald trump's protests continuing their march toward the u.s. border to escape poverty in central america as john heilemann reports they reach chap us in southern mexico and the u.s. president has threatened to cut aid to countries that allow route which don't stop a migrant caravan. this is really quite a rare moment for the people that are in this caravan it's the first time that they've had a day of rest since they entered mexico the last couple of days they've been walking a marathon basically every day and they're using the time as you can see here to wash their clothes and wash themselves and just basically to relax
10:25 pm
a little bit many of them are coming with family so the families are taking a little bit of time here on the banks and in this river. also in the center of town is when so many people there they spent the night most of them out in the open they're just trying to recuperate a little bit we speaking to one family that came from nicaragua most of the families here are from us some of them from el salvador guatemala we asked his family from nicaragua why it is they're traveling you know only any kind i want to get on. because there are do jobs even when you're trying to find a job you face vital even my child at school gets beaten up and i'm a single mother i can't leave my children alone when i work. we estimate that this caravan has at least a month to go at the rate that it's currently traveling on until it gets to the u.s. border and of course there are things that get to get even more difficult really
10:26 pm
for this massive more than seven thousand people president trump has said that there is no way that he's going to let them pass the border he's threatened to send the military to that border until they get there the mexican authorities themselves haven't done anything to impede the progress of this caravan although they are offering asylum to many people but the real test is in the times to come if they manage to make it through mexico what's going to happen when they get to a large of a hostile united states. russia has accused donald trump of taking a dangerous position by threatening to ramp up production of nuclear missiles u.s. national security adviser john bolton met president vladimir putin in moscow to discuss a cold war treaty which limits missiles the us president says he'll withdraw from the treaty and boost his new to arsenal in response to alleged russian violations thank you it's important for america perspective as president trump said on saturday said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations.
10:27 pm
of the i.n.f. treaty it's a position russia russia doesn't agree with we feel very strongly about and was a major factor in our decision to withdraw. the world's longest sea bridge that links hong kong to the chinese mainland has opened its part of a plan to bring together a dozen cities into one high tech hub but one of fifty five kilometer crossing is a remarkable feat of engineering it's been criticised for going over budget and not everyone can use it sarah clarke has the story. the chinese president xi jinping officially opened the mega bridge it's fifty five kilometers long has four tunnels and two manmade islands and it now holds the title as the world's longest cross breach. i declare the hong kong. bridge officially open.
10:28 pm
it's taken almost a decade to build and cost around fifteen billion dollars but the bridge is central to china's master plan to integrate the poll with the delta region and drive economic growth hong kong macau and you high or no make up to 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 our service the bridge will be run by trade ministrations hong kong but how and china for traffic will go by china's rules how to 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.
10:29 pm
but not everyone supports the new bridge it was over budget behind should 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 a political weapon to remind hong kong is that this is now apartment and be reminded that you're less likely connected to the a motherland and that the public will get a chance to test the bridge when roads open tomorrow sarah clarke al-jazeera hong kong. and a quick reminder you can always catch up with all the news on our web site there just that is al jazeera dot com and you can watch us live by clicking on the orange live icon out is there dot com.
