as president george washington said if you want peace prepare for the coming war on china. and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups donald trump's latest assessment on the killing of jamal khashoggi and he says congress will decide the u.s. response to the journalist death from the state department some first steps the announcement that u.s. visas will be revoked for any saudis found to be involved with a journalist's murder. this is al jazeera live from london also coming up. he's president kept the pressure on saudi arabia describing the shelties death as a brutal and premeditated murder. the saudi king promised action on khashoggi his
1:01 am
death shortly before he and the crown prince but jamal khashoggi son to offer their condolences. we begin in washington where the u.s. president donald trump has said he will leave the u.s. response to the killing of saudi jenna's jamal khashoggi up to congress in consultation with him is also described saudi arabia's actions since measure in istanbul as the worst coverup ever had a very. original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups first of all a bad deal should have never been thought of somebody who really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and which. is at the deal standpoint when
1:02 am
they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble and they should be in big trouble. there are sections to my poem post says that the u.s. is identified some of the people responsible for the death and is taking appropriate action twenty one saudis will have their visas revoked or become inevitable for us visas we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other side ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show his 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 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
1:03 am
. joins us live from washington d.c. is any more details emerging about who these sanctions might apply to and so on. well lauren under u.s. law the state department has the ability to deny the says to. us persons or revoke the visas which it has already issued but it does also have a privacy clause and so the state department is not able to tell us who these twenty one people are but based on what we just heard from the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei oh these are all people who have significant roles in the saudi government either they are members of the royal court or they're part of the foreign ministry or part of the military or the intelligence apparatus these are not run of the mill people whose visas are either being pulled as we speak or
1:04 am
who never get a u.s. visa this also does not preclude lauren the idea that more people might find themselves either losing their visas or perhaps being barred from ever coming to the united states and this also does not rule out the possibility that one or more persons could face some sort of criminal prosecution that of course is very very difficult but that is something that the u.s. government would naturally want to take a look at and the quote is also from pumpin these penalties will not be the last word on the matter from the united states and getting that will satisfy some of the critics within an administration who felt that it was being taken seriously enough . well it really depends on how far the trumpet ministration actually goes in its investigation one of the things that the secretary of state noted was that he was expecting to get more information that would certainly help the u.s. in its own investigation into jamal khashoggi is death within the next forty eight
1:05 am
to seventy two hours but certainly there have also been questions raised about whether the u.s. has been too trusting either of the saudis with whom mr problem pales stressed the u.s. does have a natural law economic and natural law a military relationship or whether the u.s. has played it putting too much faith into turkish authorities given the strains that have come up between korea and washington in recent years one of the things that mr pompei o stressed was that he believed in the u.s. government believes that officials in alcor have been very forthcoming with their evidence he did not want to go into precisely what has been shared between the two countries and he also said when it came to the question of whether this saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon perhaps should be set aside at least temporarily because of questions on whether he knew anything about the plotting of the murder
1:06 am
he simply said that the u.s. is trying to get all the facts russia and jordan thank you very much. well president john was also scathing about the turkish president's response to his death in a just a parliament which up to about one described the casualties death as a brutal and premeditated murder at 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 in riyadh to offer their condolences charles stratford has more from istanbul. three weeks of the jamal khashoggi 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

the day he was killed clothing the suitcases and a computer are among the items taken away candid in the eyes of the during a speech to his party m.p.'s in ankara turkey president received the once at the saudi journalist was the victim of a savage premeditated murder he said three saudis went on a reconnaissance mission to a forest near istanbul presumably to look for some way to bury his body. we have strong evidence that this was a premeditated murder in the life of the information we have everybody has questions here are the questions these fifteen people why did they come to the temple on the day of the murder who ordered them to come to turkey we need an answer. turkish 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 two private jets on the evening of october the second the same day the cause shows he 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 as 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 we need to know who that is or to one said he didn't doubt the credibility of king solomon but notably didn't mention his heir apparent crown prince muhammad in selma 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
1:09 am
directives and royal orders following the unfortunate event that led to the death 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 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 happened to the. well the people were expecting him to tell us what happened to the body of john hodges which was a man with the dismemberment of the but the have been the video recording the old you're recording these are all questions that are not and said the murder of jamal
1:10 am
khashoggi has potentially huge implications for saudi arabia's relationship with the world now the turks and the saudis say their investigations will continue but three weeks since the show she 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. one hundred joins us live from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul says that's the latest real name destination bad the comments that we've had from trump and pompei or how much they affect the situation on the ground there. well it will definitely be welcomed by turkish authorities now that the u.s. administration is hardening its stance taking concrete action identifying what they are saying are saudi intelligence agents we have to remember that turkish security sources believe that the fifteen man hit squads were responsible for assassinating
1:11 am
. among them intelligence officers members of the saudi government but it is not clear is whether or not the u.s. administration believes turkey's narrative that this was a pre-planned operation and that the orders were given from the top of course indirectly implying that mohamed bin salmen the de facto ruler of saudi arabia was responsible for the murder of. or will the u.s. administration believe the saudi narrative that this was an accident the cia chief was in turkey today we're not sure if she has left but we understand that she was presented with the evidence she reviewed the evidence and she is going to update the president trump on what what she saw now today we heard or the grand appeal to the saudi king cell man and he was very careful in his language and yes it was very different than when at the start of the whole case he used the he used carefully
1:12 am
chosen words but now he appealed to men do what is right and hold those accountable from the bottom up so turkey believes this was a pre planned murder and those responsible have to be taken to justice and they don't believe that intelligence agents were responsible so i know how to thank you very much indeed well the e.u. is demanding a credible and transparent investigation into the shoshones killing foreign policy chief today he committee says the blocks reaction will depend on saudi. against one. it is a crime against freedom of speech freedom of information and as such i would say is a crime against our societies everywhere in the world of life in particular. our principles. it's a crime against all of us. still to come on al-jazeera america's national security

1:14 am
a nice trend but unfortunately the next few days we are going to see more clouds coming into play particularly for the south island so for christ church rain in your forecast windy conditions we do expect to see about twenty three degrees there and then as we go towards thursday more clouds more rain for most of the area with auckland seeing about eighteen degrees there and also across parts of japan has been raining and it's going to continue here as we go towards wednesday particularly up here towards the north but much better here on thursday with drier conditions for you and as we make our way up here towards the north well take a look at what's happening across parts of the tar snow the forecast winds as well high temperature all the minus four and when you factor the wind chill it's going to feel more like minus ten degrees. the diagnosis he has been sick for around six months now the challenge ahead there when one of these ninety six could be the new cool braces of

a new cure for colors are new elements disability al-jazeera examines priam e treatments so this is the explosive yes it's basically a wearable robot like iraq revisited does iraq. and one of the top stories here on jazeera u.s. president donald trump says he will leave the u.s. response to the killing of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi up to congress in consultation with him is described saudi arabia's actions since casualties murder in istanbul as the worst coverup ever u.s.
1:16 am
as it has identified some of the people responsible for his death twenty one saudis will have their visas revoked or become ineligible for u.s. forces. to he's president has called the killing of jamal khashoggi a brutal and premeditated murder address to parliament. one demanded officers about his death inside the saudi consulate in istanbul three weeks ago the. saudi king solomon in the crown prince mohammed bin have met members of his family in riyadh including his song bin jamal khashoggi king solomon has promised to hold to account anyone found responsible for the journalist death whoever they may be. and the international outcry over casualties killing has overshadowed the start of saudi arabia's investment conference in riyadh saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman attended the event and despite accusations that he might have ordered casualties death or at least knew about it dozens of top business executives government leaders and media companies pulled out after the jenna's disappeared three weeks
1:17 am
ago the saudi crown prince has projected himself as a reformer and modernize it but the shoulder cases shine a spotlight on the policies he's led since coming to power i mean been someone is considered the driving force behind the blockade of qatar saudi arabia along with the united arab emirates bahrain and egypt cut ties with doha in june last year it was the mysterious detention of a lebanese prime minister in riyadh in november saad 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 he spearheaded a so-called anti corruption crackdown dozens of saudi princes officials and prominent business men were detained without charge at the luxury of ritz carlton in riyadh we're joining me now on the studios christophe who's the director of the
1:18 am
council for our british understanding just to go back to the developments of the evening with trump and pompei both speaking about this what would you make of the response now that they are going to actually sanction some individuals revoke visas and so on. my suspicion is they hope that this will be enough they go ahead and these visas they implement some magnet sanctions that somehow this will offset some of the pressure i don't buy this i think that many people in congress in the american media and elsewhere who are going to push them harder particularly if more evidence comes out of turkey about what's going on and evidence that could potentially implicate the upper echelons of the south the leadership even the crown prince so it's been a pretty pretty dramatic day we've had that first american action we've also had the president of turkey outlining in public for the first time what turkey wants to see happen and you know confirming
1:19 am
a lot of the media room is not as leaks now but something that's come from his own mouth so in all it's still looks like it's got a lot of mileage in at this whole saga and we're not over with here and you say a saga what about the response i'm sorry i mean clearly over the weeks they had to change their story completely from denying that he was so saying he was alive to be meeting was murdered and so on today we've seen the crown prince and. and the king meeting. family in riyadh what how do you think this plays to an international audience or to anyone really i think the saudi leadership is hoping that this would be part of helping their reputations that they were seen to be. generous towards the family that they were meeting with them except but actually what we see an image of here that speaks a thousand words really it's not tell such a story of the pain on the jamal's son in meeting king salmon and
1:20 am
particularly the crown prince and i think many people online and looking this on social media are saying you know what this is the face of a son thinks he's shaking the hands of the man who killed his father who is responsible at least perhaps for. having ordered or overseen the killing of his father actually therefore it's another example in in this situation were some of the saudi attempts to win the public relations war is failing including the way in which they've had to backtrack on some of the so much of their original narrative and now it seems that so far the kind of the pressure on himself seems to be eased off in a way because at zero one didn't reveal anything particularly staggering in his address to parliament but in the meantime is it do you think that the saudi government will want to revisit some of the areas of foreign policy that we just mentioned a moment ago that have been so sociate it with the crown prince i think that they
1:21 am
will use it as an opportunity to shift the emphasis on some of these things or not it might be the be a massive climbdown but the reality is for some time now saudi arabia and its foreign policy aims it's got stuck in yemen it's got bogged down in a very costly war and it's been very damaging to its reputation again on the issue of the blockade of qatar this really hasn't gone forward it's reached crisis i don't think in saudi or amorality terms they feel they've won on that they're struggling with iran as well that continues to spread its influence in syria iran and elsewhere. they've had a fallout with canada that a fallout with germany in the foreign affairs field doesn't look good and now they have in addition to that a further spat with turkey and obviously tensions with the united states so at some point perhaps this will be the time for some cool heads to say perhaps we need to comment and have a rethink of how saudi arabia approaches the region because from their perspective
1:22 am
it's not working out for them christophe thank you very much indeed thank you. russia is accused of taking a dangerous position by threatening to ramp up production of nuclear missiles u.s. national security adviser john bolton met the 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 nuclear arsenal in response to an aged 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 n f nuclear treaty 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
1:23 am
treaty time and time 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 that and 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 well this situation has changed now there's also china he mentioned and he said to bear information china has a heart for one third of their missiles that would actually violated this treaty this is what we had to say i think you were from our perspective as president trump said on saturday he said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations of the i.m.f. treaty it's a position russia russia doesn't agree with which we feel very strongly and was
1:24 am
a major factor in our decision to withdraw one bolton was asked if he was 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 there would be some kind of collapse of global securities sad 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. seven thousand migrants and refugees are ignoring donald trump's protests continuing their march towards the u.s. border to escape poverty in central america a stronghold in reports they've rich in southern mexico and the u.s. president has threatened to cut aid to countries along the route which don't stop the 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
1:25 am
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 a 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're 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 anything i want to happen. because there are new 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
1:26 am
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's no way that he's going to let them pass the border he's threatened to send the military so 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. government leaders in australia to pressure to remove child refugees from a remote island in the pacific ocean because many of them are mentally ill it comes as doctors on the island of nuru say there's been an unprecedented rise in children needing medical help and a thomas reports from sydney. some refugee children have been held on nauru for

1:28 am
him and the labor opposition leader of hypocrisy for supporting a policy which detains refugee children off shore critics say that too is abuse or this is institutional abuse that's been perpetrated by government a strain taxpayers fund the systems i fund keeping the people there to deprivation of hope the suffering physically suffering mentally and that deprivation of hope is 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 australia's 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 in new zealand but then come across to australia later breaking it's
1:29 am
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 asked after thomas al-jazeera supreme court the european commission has rejected italy's draft budget for twenty nineteen saying it breaks public spending rules is the first time an e.u. member state has been asked to revise its budget the question is worried about the impact of increased spending when the country is still struggling with large debts italy has three weeks to submit a new draft but its governing populist parties have vowed to push ahead with campaign promises which include a minimum income for the unemployed archaeologists in peru have found a trove of wooden statues dating back one eight hundred years the twenty artifacts

1:31 am
cover ups for a simple there deal should have never been thought of. somebody who really messed up that they had the worst cover up ever and were actually start is at the deal still when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble and they should be in big trouble. turkish president richard child added one has called the killing of jamal khashoggi a brutal and premeditated murder jamal because you watch. so far the evidence we have shows jamal was murdered brutally such brutality cannot be covered up in any way it would hurt humankind's conscience we would like saudi authorities to show the same sensitivity to this murder that saudi king solomon and the crown prince mohammed bin solomon have met members of jamal khashoggi his family in riyadh including his son salah engine market shakuri case our man has
