has a point been the home for she said ever since the dawn broke to the disease is dead that's where i come from we are in winter whenever i'm given people i step on my i want to go to bed until i treated them one lifeline the quest for global health on al-jazeera. the al-jazeera. this is the al-jazeera news hour live from london coming up. at the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups donald trump's latest assessment of the killing of jamal khashoggi and he says congress will decide the u.s. response to the journalist death. but from the state department some first steps in
12:01 am
on some of the u.s. visas will be revoked for any saudis found to be involved with a journalist murder. earlier turkey's president kept the pressure on saudi arabia describing the show she's death as a brutal and premeditated murder. the saudi king promised action on khashoggi death shortly before he and the crown prince. son took off their condolences. begin in washington where the u.s. president donald trump has said he will leave the u.s. response to the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi up to congress in consultation with him is also described saudi arabia's actions. in istanbul as the worst coverup. the original concept.
12:02 am
it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups first a. bad deal should have never been thought of. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and were children stepped is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble and they should be in big trouble. for those comments the sector state might be held a briefing he said the u.s. has identified some of the people responsible for casualties death and is taking appropriate action we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other saadi ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show these death we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas entering visa lookouts and other measures we are also working with the treasury department to
12:03 am
review the applicability of global sanctions to those individuals these penalties will not be the last word on this matter from the united states we will continue to explore additional measures to hold those responsible. accountable. joins us live from washington d.c. so some tangible measures that will this go far enough sure thing. well it's certainly a lot more than what critics of the trumpet ministration had been suggesting that it was willing to do given that the trumpet ministration is very interested in maintaining close economic and military ties with riyadh that said there had been a lot of growing pressure particularly from members of congress both in the house and in the senate who have written members of the administration including the secretary of state mike pompei o saying that the global back act which i hold those
12:04 am
accountable for violating the human rights of political activists of journalists of ordinary citizens for speaking out against the government that this law needed to be invoked and in fact members of congress were already looking for ways that they themselves could try to put in some of the penalties that are required under global magnitsky so even though the secretary of state didn't have all the numbers of all the people who will be affected by these first rounds of punishments he did say that it will not be the last and lauren he did indicate that he was expecting perhaps new information in the next forty eight to seventy two hours that would further shape the administration's punishment of those involved in the plot to kill jamal. is it your impression that the cia director who was in in taki has already completed her fact finding mission and she's given information from pale do we not yet know that. people are not saying what the cia
12:05 am
the central intelligence agency or other parts of the u.s. intelligence apparatus actually know but mr problem peo did make it plain to reporters just in the last half hour that the united states itself was going to have to conduct its own investigation if for no other reason then to provide the legal evidence necessary in order to impose the sanctions and punishments required under global bit but mr pompei you did indicate this is no longer a hypothetical as far as the u.s. government is concerned it is worth pointing out however laurent that when he was asked whether he believed that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solve man should step aside perhaps temporarily while this investigation takes place the secretary of state simply said we're simply trying to gather all the facts. thank you very much indeed rosen in jordan there in washington. the president has also been
12:06 am
scathing about the turkish president's response to death or an address to parliament the one described a short choose death as a brutal and premeditated murder and one demanded all those involved from top to bottom be held accountable for the crime he's called for an independent investigation into the killing and wants eighteen suspects extradited to turkey to stand trial saudi arabia's king solomon has promised to punish anyone found responsible for the death whoever they may be shortly after he and the crown prince met khashoggi son in riyadh to offer their condolences and has more from istanbul. sri weeks over the two more crucial she was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey investigators examine more potential clues. forensic experts searched a saudi consulate car believed to have been abandoned in an underground car park on
12:07 am
the day he was killed clothing the suitcases and a computer are among the items taken away candid in a group members of the during a speech to his party m.p.'s in ankara turkey president received type to one said the saudi journalist was the victim of a savage premeditated murder he said it three saudis went on a reconnaissance mission to a forest near is stumble presumably to look for somewhere to bury his body. and all . 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 ten ball on the day of the murder who ordered them to come to turkey we need an answer to is government sources released musa curity camera video on choose day of the suspected fifteen member hit squad the video reportedly shows the men including high ranking intelligence agents and an autopsy experts at istanbul airport before leaving on
12:08 am
two private jets on the evening of october the second the same day the khashoggi was killed in the consulate the team which also included a bodyguard of crown prince muhammad bin salma rived earlier in the day and was seen entering the consulate hours before arrived turkey's president is demanding answers from the saudis the saudi foreign minister has said he was killed in a huge and grave mistake which is you know where is the body of tamara showed nobody knows where the body is it is alleged that the body was given to a local operator so who is the local cooperate or we need to know who that is or the one said he didn't doubt the credibility of king solomon but notably didn't mention his heir apparent crown prince mohammed bin salma the saudis deny he was linked to the killing of the journalist who criticized him. but a meeting of ministers in riyadh king solomon stressed what he called the directives and royal orders following the unfortunate event that led to the death
12:09 am
of citizen jamal khashoggi the kingdom has taken procedures to clarify the truth and to hold accountable those who were negligent whoever they are king solomon added the king was shown meeting because she was his son and another family member to offer condolences alongside the crown prince i was later the crown prince who hasn't been seen in public but days appeared briefly at the saudi investment summit to champion the ceased twenty thirty vision but. some analysts are disappointed with what the turkish president revealed god was asking what had been to that but. well the people were expecting him to tell us what happened to the body of john hodges which was a man said with the dismemberment of the but the have been the video recording the older recording these are all questions that. the murder of jamal khashoggi has potentially huge implications for saudi arabia's relationship with the world now
12:10 am
the turks and the saudis say their investigations will continue but three weeks since the shows he was killed there are growing questions as to whether the real perpetrators those who planned his murder and those who sanctioned it will ever fully be called to account. istanbul and harder joins us live now from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul says i know we heard there the latest on the investigation but what about these comments from trump and pompei or how might they affect the situation on the ground there. well it would be the first concrete action by the u.s. administration in the case of she and no doubt turkish officials will welcome that turkish officials really have been quite worried that the united states may decide to cover up the whole case simply because of its relationship with the saudi royal
12:11 am
family and particularly muhammad bin cell man and the very fact that saudi arabia really is central to the trumpet ministrations policy in the region really turkey has been very careful from the start not to get involved in some sort of direct confrontation with the riyadh riyadh of course being a regional power and turkey as well as a regional power both these countries vying for supremacy in the region so they have good relationships but really it's a cordial relationship and they have a lot of differences but from from the day that she walked into that consulate and disappeared turkey has been trying very hard not to damage relations with the turkish officials saying that the deep state could have been involved of course that is in reference to the defacto ruler mohamed bin man even today during his speech president russia tired or the guy and he appealed to king salmen on more than once and he was very respectful calling him your majesty the custodian of the
12:12 am
holy shrines he he reached out to him he appealed to him and he said do the right thing now what saudi arabia will do it is hard to say we are expecting mohamed bin sound man to address that investment conference tomorrow we do not know what he's going to talk about whether he will actually address the case but the very fact that he was seen standing next to his father and at the cabinet session today it seems that for now at least there are no efforts to sideline him and clearly this is what turkey would want to see because they believe he ordered the killing and he approved the killing a preplanned murder. and in the meantime the details coming drip feed of information comes out about the investigation do you think we might get anything more significant revealed given this response from the state. well the body the body parts that is going to be key to the investigation the prosecutor is still investigating two days ago they found an abandoned car
12:13 am
belonging to the saudi consulate at a parking lot in istanbul just today the saudi arabian authorities gave them permission to search that vehicle there was a search they found belongings in that car a laptop two suitcase clothes but we still do not know who those clothes belong to or who those belongings belong to there are still investigations are continuing really there has been a lot of work for work inside the consulate building inside the consul general house but there is still no body everyone expected president to go on to reveal what he says was the naked truth but at the end of the day he's a politician he's not a prosecutor and but he what he did lay bare today was turkey's demands what he laid bare today is the fact that turkey has political leverage he continued with this escalation strategy to continue put to put pressure on saudi arabia not just pressure on saudi arabia but pressure on the united states as well and that's when
12:14 am
we saw the cia chief come to turkey today we understand that she's reviewing the evidence and if she sees this evidence as watertight that the u.s. administration may have no other option really than to take action or to force some sort of change in saudi arabia to end this international crisis and how to thank you very much. joining me now in the studio is christo he's the director of the council for arab british understanding thanks for coming in again and so the pump there is talk about to the u.s. revoking visas exploring the possibility of sanctions in the matter the khashoggi death and also then saying these penalties will not be the last word on the matter from the united states what are they leaving the door open to do you think they're leaving the door open i think to the production of further evidence because the heart of said you know quite clearly other things that can come out of the turkish investigation that could be revealed that could implicate others so clearly the united states is not going to say this will be the last thing when other details
12:15 am
could come forward and i think you know the united states is in a bind because thus far the investigation has largely proven to be right and this is why the saudis to have to confess that it was their guys who carried out this killing and that only came out eighteen days after the terrible event and that therefore they still hold a lot of the cards they hope they hold the evidence trial they know or they may well find out where the body is and where and who are in these clothes what was on this laptop on the many other questions that could arise and was that's the case then everybody will be an walking on eggshells in case something more is revealed but you know what what will turkey want yes we've heard very much the public demand today that the trial in turkey on the turkish law but i query what's behind the scenes what does turkey really want out of you know it's not to states to saudi
12:16 am
arabia because it's clear that given all the crises in the region that affect turkey it's got a lot of things that it could be asking for right now principally with the united states over the last few years since the attempted coup in two thousand and sixteen of course it wanted the extradition of good and who holds responsible for. for for that attempted coup so we'll see how this all plays out i think it's got a lot of mileage and yeah i mean that both trump and probably have been keen to stress again that spite of what they have how seriously they take this case they say shared strategic interest in the saudi arabia remain and that seems to be one of the main reasons why there isn't a rush to try and effect any kind of change in saudi arabia that you're taking that's true i mean the relationship is a very important one for both countries it's strategic it's very deep at many levels though only four percent of americans in
12:17 am
a recent opinion poll in the economist actually see saudi arabia as an ally there is a hangover here perhaps some nine eleven perhaps movie other you know terrorist atrocities were some americans believe that saudis one of the root problems in all of this and that might inform a lot of congressional support for tough tough stance against saudi arabia in all this that doesn't help them so. the american position is fluid we have the midterms we have the issue of the sanctions the tougher sanctions in iraq on iran that's about to be rolled out they certainly want to get. saudi arabia off the news headlines as quickly as they can and they have you know to do that after three weeks and that's really quite something crystal thank you very much indeed a lot of data to james bays is with me now from the united nations where saudi arabia is under more pressure over yemen james.
12:18 am
yeah lauren of course saudi arabia leads that coalition in yemen where there have been so many civilian deaths and again the united nations has been meeting to look at the humanitarian situation in yemen and the main news from that is it's not getting better it's definitely getting worse the u.n. humanitarian chief. only briefed the u.n. security council a matter of weeks ago on the twenty first of september he then said that eleven million people in yemen were at risk he's now raised the figure with new estimates to fourteen million people he says who are at risk in pre famine conditions in yemen this is more of what he had to say there is now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine in gulf in yemen
12:19 am
much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working lives it's worth reminding you that mr local warned of the possibility of a famine the year ago he said that the international community had stepped up and prevented that a year ago but he says even more worried now about the situation in the country he didn't want to really take any questions about the role and culpability of saudi arabia and the coalition and whether things changed in the new political climate interesting lee when saudi arabia is beset by so much bad news they clearly tried to put a bit of news good news in there he announced that saudi arabia and the united arab emirates had given seventy million dollars to the united nations in order to pay
12:20 am
teachers salaries in yemen james bass thank you very much. an international outcry over killing has overshadowed the start of saudi arabia's investment conference in riyadh saudi crown prince mohammed bin cylon attended the event and 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 journalist disappeared three weeks ago. columnist cornelia meyer of the consulting firm wire resource says that despite companies appearing to boycott the event they still have a presence at the form to ensure future investment certainly don't have lost on some money and certainly they have lost on some of the big names the head of the deceased did not go but he still sponsors the conference because he still wants to choose the banking license in the kingdom then you have to big companies like jamie diamond didn't go from che p. morgan but you know think back j.p.
12:21 am
morgan has had a relationship with the kingdom since one thousand nine hundred thirty foot of business people they just say ok days a vision twenty thirty and there's lots of investment opportunities so de may look at it that way but when i look at how much investment really went into the kingdom last year saying i think it's something like one point four billion and the multitude of that has left the kingdom saudi arabia has been one of the biggest investors in the u.s. tech industry for years but as questions grow over khashoggi is death these ties are under scrutiny reynolds reports from silicon valley. in the aftermath of the killing of jamal khashoggi at the hands of saudi government agents tech companies and their executives are distancing themselves from saudi investment but how each one of them makes that decision on their own i think is probably driven very much by their own moral conscience but also their understanding that other people are looking at them in their formal leadership positions for cues about what to do
12:22 am
right now several tech leaders have already bailed out of crown prince mohammed bin some on's investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green a.o.l. founder steve case and guber c.e.o. darren shockey who said he was very troubled by reports of cars show g.'s death khosrowshahi public comments were seen as significant because the saudi wealth fund holds a three and a half billion dollars stake in the right ailing app saudi arabia has also invested heavily in tesla motors door dash the work space company we work and others much of the saudi money is funneled through the japanese bank soft bank the world's largest investment fund so far saudi arabia has put forty five billion dollars into soft bank so-called vision funds and the crown prince says he'd like to double that
12:23 am
amount as tech companies recoil from the saudis on ethical grounds it will be difficult if not financially impossible to unravel their saudi tie a complex tangle of contract stock preferences and legal obligations tied the company's hands in such matters ordinarily companies and financial institutions follow the lead of their governments but president donald trump's response to the killing has been tepid and vacillating leaving corporations to find their own way in some ways this. case is providing an opportunity for companies to really provide some ethical and moral leadership maybe at a time when they're not seeing or experiencing what they like to see from leadership in other sectors silicon valley corporations face a dilemma choosing between an ethical response to a shocking crime and the abundant funding that makes the tech industry flourish rob
12:24 am
reynolds al-jazeera san carlos california 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 but 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 based his nuclear arsenal in response to alleged russian violations steadfast and has more from moscow. john bolton didn't make it any clearer about how and when the united states wants to pull out of the i and. he said there wasn't any clear timeframe yet what he did say though was that the united states hasn't started the official withdrawal from the treaty which takes about six months to do he did say and that's what they say most what the president was saying over the last couple of days is that russia has been violating this treaty time and time
12:25 am
again but interestingly also said that the russians agree with the united states that the treaty is outdated and none of the russian officials have said that in public but he said the russians agreed to back down when the treaty was signed in one thousand eight hundred seven it was a different world the only two major nuclear superpowers only the soviet union and the united states while this situation has changed now there's also china he mentioned and he's sad to bear information china has a ha for one third of their missiles that would actually fire late to this treaty this is what we have to say i think you work from our perspective as president trump said on saturday he said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations of the i and if treaty position russia russia doesn't agree with that we feel very strongly and was a major factor in our decision to withdraw when bolton was asked if he was
12:26 am
a worried about an arms race he basically referred back to two thousand and one when the united states pulled out of the a.b.m. the antiballistic missile treaty everyone was worried that would be some kind of collapse of global security sat well that didn't happen and he promised that didn't it wouldn't happen again when the united states would pull out of the i am after. coming off. an american. ignore trump's protests as they continue their journey to the u.s. border. a group of doctors in australia and just the government to end child attention on the island of neverland. and coming up in sport will be live at old trafford for reaction to christian or nowadays we're ten manchester united in the champions league.
12:27 am
hello get a welcome back to international weather forecast across europe we're looking at a cold blast that is coming into play right now you can see here on the satellite image all these clouds coming in from the north now behind this is much colder air i want to show the forecast map as we go towards midweek look at these high temperatures out here towards eastern parts of europe not even making double digits for warsaw your high temperature on the onesies going to be eight kiev eight as well moscow we're looking at only six degrees now that cold air continues to sink down here towards the southeast and with that we're going to be seeing some very heavy rain showers as well those going to be pushing through parts of turkey and with that we do think we're going to see some thunderstorms but behind it of course it is going to be much cooler with a high temperature a few of about twelve degrees now here along the northern part of africa we are seeing quite a bit of cloud over the next few days not too bad over here towards the northwest but that's going to change as we go towards wednesday picking some more clouds and
12:28 am
rain across much of morocco and that same front i was talking about through parts of turkey well that is going to bring some showers as well to the northern coast of egypt so we do think attempt is going to drop in cairo to about thirty degrees and then we're going to be seeing winds coming out of the north you overnight lows could get down into the low twenty's as well up towards when gaza twenty four degrees few in tripoli we expect to see twenty four as well. the diagnosis he has been sick for around six months now the challenge ahead there when one of these ninety six could be a new cure or the basis of a new cure all for colors off near an illness or disability al-jazeera examines priam meaning treatments so this is the explosive yes it's basically a wearable robot like iraq we visited oh now does iraq.

response to the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi up to congress in consultation with him he's described saudi arabia's actions murder in istanbul as the worst coverup ever. payor says the u.s. has identified some of the people responsible for casualties death and is taking appropriate action twenty one saudis will have their visas revote to become ineligible for u.s. visas. turkey's president has called the killing of jamal khashoggi a brutal and premeditated murder in address to parliament. and demanded answers about his death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul three weeks ago. the crown prince mohammed bin met members of jamal khashoggi family in riyadh if you're doing his son. king solomon has promised to hold to account anyone found responsible for the journalist death whoever they may be. poignant and the reason
12:31 am
is the director of the turkey project at the center for strategic and international studies joins me live now from washington d.c. thank you very much for being with us so that the response from the u.s. and from what my hope is specifically this evening will that satisfy the turks do you think in this. i don't think so i think the turkish strategy which is involved. daily leaks to journalists specifically. and i underline this through american journalists particularly the new york times and c.n.n. is designed to increase the pressure on the trumpet ministration to take real meaningful action on this issue now turkey's over the pressure in saudi arabia as well but it's crazy the united states there were there was a conversation between president trump and president of the one there was a meeting with secretary of state pompei on his way back to washington from riyadh when he stopped off in stamboul and obviously very important conversations with
12:32 am
the director of the central intelligence agency a houseful who is in in ankara literally as we speak so. be the measures as i said will not be enough turkey wants more meaningful action from the united states and to the other and i assume that they're sharing the information that they have with has full. we heard from the turkish government to that that they have they are linking some of the people that they hold responsible for the killing with had been some on the crown prince if not what directly the sister suggesting and indirectly that he may have known about this killing or will be responsible in some way and do you think that now his position is safe because. the u.s. has not spoken out against him in this context or how do you read the the pressure . on in particular. well obviously the the
12:33 am
us holds all the cards in this particular equation or at least. so turkish government believes because there is a limited amount that the turkish government could do to pressure aside area it has asked for the president's speech today president or one speech today for the perpetrators of this crime to be tried in turkey but it's easily likely that saudi arabia is going to relent on this so if saudi arabia is going to be pressured and it had been said money is going to be. pressured directly it has to be denied states and their present trouble is is hedging his bets he has appeared to back. some extent but then also said that you know without jeopardizing the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia actually should be taking conjunction with the with congress now we have elections coming up in two weeks after that. there's going to
12:34 am
be a lame duck session of the u.s. congress there are a lot of voices in congress that are actually calling for action but whether they can actually proceed to serious measures against saudi arabia and again specifically against bomb had been seven months without from direction from the white house is the beta will what does turkey want specifically do you think from the u.s. over this issue. well obviously it wants justice as president everyone said but beyond that you know there is clearly a rivalry between riyadh which to all intents and purposes is ruled by mohammed and saddam on and president go on and on turkey. mahmoud been said a man has spoken out against turkey in the past has identified it along with iran as a center of instability in the middle east turkey obviously would want a better relationship with riyadh he would always want
12:35 am
a improvement of the relationship the strained relationship between riyadh and doha as well as qatar is a is an ally but. beyond that i think president out of the one sees this as an opportunity to firm up their relationship with the with the united states by being on the same side on this issue given the problems that have existed between anchor and washington in the past but any reason thank you very much indeed for your thoughts on shabbat. parallel police state is how human rights watch describes the occupied palestinian territories of gaza and the west bank in a two year investigation has found dozens of cases of a rest abuse even torture which it says shows a systematic repression of free speech paracelsus reports from gaza. hamas internal security officers carry out a raid in gaza city. one to secure the area one to provide cover and the third to go to the target a heavily armed criminal. it's all happening in
12:36 am
a police compound this is a training exercise on a day colleagues elsewhere were involved in the real thing rounding up a suspected gang of illegal drugs traffickers but i must forces are facing criticism for going after other targets accused merely of disagreeing with the government. i mean our bet is a member of hamas is a rival political faction he says during days of questioning he was forced to stand in stress positions all because of facebook posts. they asked me who gave me the order to write those comments was it an israeli officer or a palestinian officer from ramallah that made me stand for three hours under the sun in a miserable heart situation and they carried on for a month. such accounts tally with a new report by human rights watch based on a two year investigation of security force practices in gaza and the occupied west bank it is reported human rights watch points out that israel routinely violates
12:37 am
palestinians most basic rights but it argues that's no reason to ignore what it calls systematic repression carried out by to fire about police states. one case cited in the report was in june when the palestinian authority security forces crack down on a protest in ramallah against the authorities economic sanctions on gaza if you dissent today in the west bank or the gaza strip you face the likely prospect of detention and when detained routine threats taunting coersion and even in many cases torture these are not isolated cases this in fact is reflective of a machinery for oppression tarik says he was caught up in that machinery as a reporter in the west bank for hamas. television he's been detained four times twice he says he was tortured and i. know i have a strong feeling that i can be detained any time without any need to press charges
12:38 am
they can open my face book and consider any post charge because the cybercrime law is very vague. the p.a. is interior ministry didn't make anyone available for interview in its response to human rights watch it denied any arbitrary arrests of a political speech adding anyone with an allegation of mistreatment could lodge a complaint the hamas interior ministry had a similar response pass in twenty sixteen twenty seventeen we had three hundred fourteen complaints about mistreatment after we investigated it became clear that in ninety of these cases the officers acted badly and we punish them on. human rights watch says its report shows that such cases aren't aberrations but part of a system which defines insulting high or forty's causing sectarian strife is punishable crimes are a force of gaza. seven thousand migrants and refugees are ignoring donald trump's protests continuing their march towards the us border to escape poverty in central
12:39 am
america a gentleman reports the rich chap us in southern mexico and the us president has threatened to cut aid to countries along the route which don't stop and 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 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 this
12:40 am
family from the can i go 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 travelling on until it gets to the u.s. border and of course there are things that get to get even more difficult really 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
