5:01 am
a human rights supporter and covers abuse and torture in the occupied palestinian territories. and the u.s. warns a so-called migrant caravan you will not cross our border under any circumstances. the united states has taken the first initiative action yet in the case of murder it's not a journalist. as president has called it quote the worst cover up in the history of cover ups but insists on staying away from economic sanctions is now putting the onus on congress for a response. nothing that they've done that it's gun has done well and certainly has not been. spoken of properly they did the wrong thing even thinking about the idea they certainly did a bad job of execution and they certainly did a bad job of talking about it or covering it up if you'd like to say that but i
5:02 am
would say it was a total fiasco for now the u.s. is a wrecking pieces of twenty one saudi nationals its interest rate might pump a.o.'s also warning of additional measures turkey's president wants the suspects to be tried in his country or to type or to want rejected saudi arabia's version of what happened to jamal khashoggi and called it a premeditated political murder sheraton's he begins our coverage with this report . donald trump was signing an ax dealing with water infrastructure when he was honest about the death of jamal khashoggi of the saudi connection they had a very big. original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of cover ups because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble in terms of what we ultimately do i'm going to leave and very much in conjunction with made up to congress but in an interview on monday trump suggested he believes the saudi narrative of
5:03 am
a quote plots go on a ride that led to a show g.'s killing and question the turkish claims of the use of a bone saw to dismember the journalists body the secretary of state said action was already being taken against those the us held responsible because your g.'s death we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking basis entering visa lookouts and other measures we are also working with the treasury department to review the applicability of the global magnitsky sanctions to those individuals congress has already invoked the magnitsky act which gives the administration four months to investigate to show g.'s death and impose sanctions against those found responsible the vice president also expressed his horror at the death of and said that the information gathered by cia directed gina has in turkey will be key in the coming days the director of the cia is there in turkey now reviewing the evidence and we're going to follow the facts oh we're going to demand that those responsible
5:04 am
. or held accountable the expectation is that the turks won far more from washington that has already been announced turkey wants more meaningful action from the united states and to that end i assume that they're sharing the information that they have with has and if that evidence shows that this was an assassination ordered at the highest levels of the saudi kingdom as alleged the trumpet ministration will be tested in the meantime the president the vice president and secretary of state or continued to emphasize the importance of the relationship between the u.s. and saudi arabia both economically and geopolitically she ever term c o two zero washington our mike hanna is live now in washington d.c. so mike am president trump's language about what happened to jamal khashoggi has evolved and changed in kind of gone back and forth but he has now given an interview to the wall street journal what is the latest he has said what are his latest thoughts on this well throughout the day there's being
5:05 am
a tone of anger for the first time to the president's remarks we saw what he said there about the cover up being a fiasco that he did say as well through the day that he'd spoken to the king of saudi arabia and the crown prince and he once again repeated that they had denied any knowledge of what had happened but in that interview with the wall street journal in the oval office president trump getting a little bit harsh about the saudi arabian leadership he said once again that he believes that the saudi king solomon knew nothing about it however when asked about the crown prince's possible involvement this is what he said. he's running things and so if anybody was going to be it it would be him now that's the closest president trump has come to directly accusing the crown prince of involvement in this whole affair he has repeatedly since it all began is said that he accepts the assurances being given to him but now
5:06 am
a shift in president trumps position raising the possibility for the first time of the crown prince us involvement. mike pompei owes language has been fairly tough as well mike and particular he's talking about punitive measures sanctions diesel revocation excess are set or what are the types of measures that are really at his fingertips. yes well he referred the to the global magnitsky act which has already been invoked by congress and that provides for economic sanctions against individuals who are guilty of human rights violations it also provides for sanctions of any form against state entities should they be found a comfortable essentially my composed says he started with the withdrawal of the visas there will be the other measures taken in terms of freezing bank accounts for
5:07 am
example prohibiting international travel all of these sanctions can be imposed in terms of the magnets act but the key issue here at this stage is that might pump arrow is referring to individuals whether or not these were all named to that contentious saudi report on the incident or whether the names have been added we're not quite sure at this particular stage but it is sanctions against individuals he is not talking about sanctions against a state entity at this particular stage important though to note president trump says that all will be gathering in the next twenty four hours at the oval office and things will then be discussed he's going to be getting information in from everybody is getting the key information coming in from the director of the cia ok mike hanna live for us in washington thank you. it's going to zain hodor now who is standing by for the latest developments as they come out of istanbul so what my pump has been saying earlier tonight saying no was was much tougher language about
5:08 am
possible punishment for saudi arabia or sepsis a civic individuals rather and how might that be received in turkey. well like you mentioned a hardening stance a change in position so far there has been no official reaction from the turkish government or turkish officials but it will be welcomed by turkey turkey has been worried and concerned that the united states will ignore the evidence and cover it up simply because of the relationship between the trumpet ministration and the de facto ruler of saudi arabia mohamad salmen so there was a lot of concern here and a lot of concern as well that saudi arabia really is the central pillar to middle east policy and it's not just saudi arabia it is mohamed bin sound man himself so this of course will be welcome news we did hear my camera earlier mentioned the cia
5:09 am
chief she is or was in turkey we have no information on the details of her movements but what we understand from the turkish government media is that she has been briefed she has been given the evidence and she is assessing it for herself and it seems really what she has seen is played a role really in the change in the position of the u.s. administration saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man offering condolences to the son some law who is believed to be under a travel ban and may not be acting on his own free will the facial expressions are telling the younger she reached out his hand to a man many believe was behind the murder of his father king some man who has been somewhat out of the public eye for a while is now trying to contain an international crisis that could have repercussions on the kingdom and the royal family he chaired a cabinet meeting and reiterated that those responsible for the death of the saudi
5:10 am
journalist will be held to account. i the meeting was held just hours after president to measure time of our decline of turkey appealed to the king to act and to do what is correct. we will follow this incident until the end whatever is required by our laws and by international laws we will carry it out in fact i'd like to make a call from here today my call is to first and foremost saudi arabia's king solomon and to senior administration bullies where the incident to place therefore my offer is for these fifteen people plus three people the eighteen arrested to be tried to stamboul hardiman what i mean is. i personally don't doubt the sincerity of the custodian of the two holy mosques king solomon be not doulas is on the other hand it is very important that such a critical investigation about a murder is carried out by is truly a biased and fair delegation with no doubt about their connections are to go on
5:11 am
refer to king sound man with respect to his much awaited speech on tuesday where he was supposed to unveil what he called the naked truth about the murder of turkey's president did provide some new details in the investigation like the presence of a third saudi team that scouted a forest a day before he was killed but overall turkey's president was a politician he criticized saudi arabia for not fully cooperating with the investigation but was careful not to burn all bridges with riyadh. the people were expecting. what happened to the body. which was amounts of with the dismemberment of the body have been the video recording the older recording these are all questions. but turkey says it has enough evidence to prove what it has been saying from the start that the murder was premeditated and planned after she visited the consulate for the first time on september twenty eight to sort out the
5:12 am
paperwork for his marriage or the gun again highlighted the role of the fifteen men who arrived and left on private jets on the day of the killing new video of the team at istanbul airport has been released turkey security sources believe they carried out the assassination saudi arabia insists the killing was a mistake and the rogue operation even though among those identified as a member of saudi crown prince a security detail an autopsy expert saudi agent and a body double parted on may not have laid bare the naked truth about the crime but he did lay bare turkey's demands and the leverage it holds we have strong evidence he says and it's not enough to blame intelligence agents we need to hold to account those responsible from the top to bottom a political murder is how are gone described killing in a political speech which stops short of naming who he believes was responsible the defacto ruler of saudi arabia have a good time and made
5:13 am
a brief appearance at the investment conference in riyadh that he had hoped would boost his country's image instead the event was shunned by western leaders and business executives over the hush she killing saudi arabia may be trying to send the message that it is business as usual but its isolation is growing and the crown prince's political future is also in question. momma been so man is expected to address the investment conference tomorrow in riyadh it will be his first public conference comments since the one she case and we're still not sure if he is actually going to discuss the killing. in her live for us in istanbul zain a thank you so if you mention donald trump says he is leaving it to congress to decide on possible actions against saudi arabia so let's take a closer look at what politicians on capitol hill could actually do they can force the president to impose sanctions against the kingdom using the magnitsky act both democratic and republican senators have already set that process and motion by
5:14 am
triggering the law which allows sanctions on foreign officials who have committed human rights violations white house has one hundred twenty days to act congress also has the power to stop any new arms sales to the kingdom can reject a deal by passing a law prohibiting the sale a month before it is agreed upon but that means a majority vote is needed if that doesn't work congress can put pressure on the kingdom with a law on terrorism passed in two thousand and sixteen that allows victims to sue saudi arabia for what their families claim is the country's collusion in the nine eleven attack best on the money is a senior fellow at the stimson center a nonpartisan policy research center she joins us from ottawa and we appreciate your time very much so what do you make of donald trump's evolving language when it comes to his thoughts on what would happen to. well definitely firmer than ever before and he's clearly made it very clear that he thinks there's
5:15 am
a cover up which i think is very interesting because of course that flies in against everything that the saudis have been saying from the beginning so that's very interesting and of course some interesting comments that he meant made today to the wall street journal to new york times all pointing to this idea that you haven't been some man is in control of that if there is responsibility to be had if there is royal palace collusion or knowing of this operation that he would be the one who had known so again very damning words coming from the white house the toughest we've seen in the almost three weeks ago that's been going on he is still said though that he's basically going to defer to congress on what they want to do why do you think he's going that route. well it's kind of a cop out he really wants to sort of punt this to somebody else to deal with particularly knowing that there is a midterm election coming up this is not really a wedge issue that really resonates particularly with his base he'd much rather
5:16 am
talk about the migrant caravan and other sort of domestic issues that are more pertinent to him and so i think he wants congress to come up with some ideas of course referring this to. that particular to the executive does put it in his court but in terms of you know whether or not they're going to stop arms sales that would of course require again passage through the congress last time around it was very very narrow they almost got it through so there may be indeed you know whether this story lasts a bit longer they're made to be some take up but by congress but of course this is not something that trump wants to have on his agenda any more so as it stands right now the kingdom says that they are looking into it and then of course turkey obviously is investigating as it happened in turkey where is the. i guess neutral for lack of a better term the neutral body the neutral party to really get to the bottom of
5:17 am
what happened. well so i'm calling for a u.n. investigation again a sort of independent third party that of course is not unprecedented we saw that for example for the killing of difficulty but of course those are very much fraught they do require u.n. security council resolution unanimously and of course i don't think the americans really want this to go further i doubt the russians would either they may in fact be trying to become closer to so de rigueur we saw that certainly in the investment conference of the russians really trying to make a play for an increased share of the pie in saudi arabia so i don't think it will pass that but that's certainly an idea but of course i think many feel having the saudis investigate this is certainly the last thing one should accept as being a transparent and accountable type of investigation certainly. saudi arabia and mohamed than someone didn't calculate this type of international response rate but
5:18 am
it but it has happened do you think that when all is said and done anything actually will change in the way the rest of the world interacts with saudi arabia. well it's hard to see real change just because i think the structural forces whatsoever represents in terms of its contribution to world oil supply obviously being the largest importer of weapons in the world and lots of western countries want to do business with saudi arabia it makes it hard for me as a political scientist to see real change happening but the same time i think one thing is for sure we have all seen you know galvanized public campaign mostly because of the media's focus and attention on this but it's really i think been very surprising to me included and i think that just shows that there is room frankly for civil society to press these issues whether or not we will sustain that kind of pressure with midterm elections in the us happening in particular what will have to see but it's certainly not impossible yes well money thank you so much
5:19 am
appreciate your time thank you saudi arabia's version of events of course has changed several times over the past three weeks and we're still far away from knowing exactly what happened to his body king solomon has promised to punish anyone found responsible for the death whoever that may be and the crown prince met the son who is banned from leaving saudi arabia to offer their condolences but questions remain on the hamad bin someone's alleged role in the operation it's overshadowing his showpiece investment conference where he made a brief appearance other foreign leaders and company executives refused to attend because of the killing. we all know these are difficult days. for us the kingdom of saudi arabia we are going through. a crisis of sorts resulted from a. very good activity and a boring and sit in that took place in turkey nobody in the kingdom can
5:20 am
justify it or explain it and from the leadership on down we. are very upset about what has happened. and of course the king has made it clear that they will be. investigation of justice and distribution to those dispose billions of dollars have flooded into u.s. high tech companies for years since the killing questions about morals and ethics are being asked also issues being raised over the relationship between ultra rich members of the royal family and silicon valley in california are battles reports. 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
5:21 am
understanding that other people are looking at them in their formal leadership positions for cues about what to do right now several tech leaders have already bailed out of crown prince mohammed bin summons 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 caused from a shock he's 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 softbank the world's largest investment fund so far saudi arabia has put forty five billion dollars into soft
5:22 am
bank so-called vision fund and the crown prince says it like to double that amount as tech companies recoil from the saudis on ethical grounds it will be difficult if not financially impossible to unravel their saudi tie as a complex tangle of contract stock preferences and legal obligations tied companies hands in such matters ordinarily companies and financial institutions follow the lead of their governments but president donald trump's response to the shoji 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 reynolds al-jazeera san carlos california. corey is a professor of journalism at the american university in beirut and a senior fellow at harvard's kennedy school says a crown prince does face and very serious accusations but it's hard to tell what people inside the king and think of him. if haven't been said a man is weakened loses credibility but his father insists on keeping him as a crown prince will this damage the saudi arabian linkages with people all over the world or will it not damage it very much just a little bit that they can handle we've never experienced anything like this i mean this the leadership including some of the soul men are being accused of lying repeatedly and committing assassination so these are very serious. accusations and we've never experienced this kind of situation before no political
5:24 am
leadership will sacrifice anybody including members of their own family if it is the price of their survival we just don't know what the majority of saudis feel about this because saudi arabia is a country especially now under my madmen saloons rule that doesn't allow public opinion to actually express itself i've talked to individual saudis students in the united states and other people and i've heard their views and you get different views but most people are afraid to make any kind of open criticism so we just have to wait for the saudi system to. alert us to for instance is there a big backlash in the private sector to the way he rounded up people and put them in jail and took their money is there a backlash in the religious community as a backlash among young people who are happy that he allowed women to drive in cinemas to reopen but maybe they're upset by these bigger accusations that make

their country look very bad on the world stage on the front page every day for the last two weeks there has been widespread skepticism over saudi arabia's version of events with several world leaders pushing for clarification about what happened they use foreign policy chief rhetoric a marina has addressed the european parliament is that a crime against one journalist is a crime against all. freedom of speech and information or any joined foreign ministers of the g seven group of nations saying saudis explanations so far leave many questions unanswered for in canada france germany italy japan and the us all signed off on this statement condemning the show she's killing plenty more head in the news hour and clothing what's rallying voters are right presidential front runner. coming up and support will have reaction to question him and all those winning return to manchester united he will have all the details in just a moment. from

watching al-jazeera let's recap the top stories for you now donald trump for the first time suggest saudi crown prince. possible involvement in the murder of a journalist. and an interview with the wall street journal trump says the crown prince is running things in the kingdom so if anyone were to be involved it would be him as a ministration has revoked the twenty one saudi nationals. turkey's president wants those behind the murder of a show trial to be extradited to face trial in his country. his call for an independent investigation and. u.s. and russian presidents could meet in france next month or washington's plans to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty have lattimer putin will both attend a world war one commemoration of an in paris on november eleventh the kremlin says they plan to hold a bilateral meeting on the sidelines comes after u.s. national security advisor john bolton held talks at putin in moscow meeting was to discuss the fate of a three decades old arms back to eliminate some categories of nuclear another
5:30 am
ballistic missiles 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 in af 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 treaty time and time again but interestingly also said that the russians agree with the united states that the tweet is outdated and none of the russian officials have said that in public but he said the russians agreed at the back that when the treaty was signed in one thousand eight hundred seven it was a different world the only two major nuclear superpowers all you the soviet union and the united states well this situation has changed now there's also china he
5:31 am
mentioned and he said to bear information china has a ha for one third of their missiles that would actually violated this treaty this is what we had to say i think you were primarily perspective as president trump said on saturday said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations of the i.m.f. treaty position russian russia doesn't agree with which we feel very strongly and was a major factor in our decision that was wrong when bolton was asked if he was worried about an order 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

the united nations says millions more people when yemen are facing famine than previously thought terry in chief has given security council update on the situation there are close says he three year conflict has left about fourteen million people on the brink of famine and they are completely reliant on aid. just to be clear my assessment my advice to you is that there is now a clear and present danger of an imminent and great big famine engulfing yemen much bigger than anything any professional in this field has seen during their working on our revised assessment the results of new survey work and analysis is that the total number of people facing pretty famine conditions meaning they entirely reliant on external aid for survival could soon reach not eleven million all fourteen million that's hoff's the total population of the country saudi arabia

5:34 am
free speech very fossett reports in 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 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 hamas 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 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
5:35 am
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 and its report human rights watch points out that israel routinely violates palestinians most basic rights but it argues that's no reason to ignore what it calls systematic repression carried out by two higher level police states. one case cited in the report was in june when the palestinian authority security forces cracked 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

brazilian voters will choose between two radically different candidates when they cast their ballots in sunday's presidential election. currently leading opinion polls against his left wing rival fernando had died and. what's behind us in our a surge in popularity. he's reviled by the opposition is racist homophobic and sexist. but jail growing number of supporters say he's not of those things he's a victim of what they call fake news. one that he's an honest politician firstly there are no charges of corruption against him secondly he's conservative a family man he's bringing back all the values and principles that we've lost over the last few years people are becoming conservative again and fighting for morals and ethics in the first round of the election the rival left wing workers' party
