economic sanctions is now putting the onus on congress for a response nothing that they have done had she has done well 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 but i would say it was a total fiasco i mean wild turkeys president wants these suspects to be tried in his concert country the one rejecting saudi arabia's version of what happened to jim out fresh l.g. and calling it a premeditated political murder shihab rattansi begins our coverage now with this report. donald trump was signing an ax dealing with water infrastructure when he was asked about the death of jamal khashoggi and the saudi connection they had a very big. original concept. it was carried out poorly
6:03 am
and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble in terms of what we ultimately do i'm going to leave it very much in conjunction with made up to congress but in an interview on monday trump suggested he believes the saudi narrative of 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 bases 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

6:05 am
washington alive now to mike hanna in washington for so mike president trump first began several times regarding the hush shoji killing and now he has been interviewed by the wall street journal what did he have to say to them well indeed his tone has been increasingly angry it appears throughout the day at one stage he was saying or appear iterating that he has spoken to the saudi king to the crown prince and that they had assured him of that in a sense a you did as you say severely criticize the. saudi report the saudi what he sees as a cover up but the seeming he went even further and for the first time gave an implication that perhaps the crown prince could be responsible in an interview with the wall street journal this is what he had to say he's running things there and so if anybody were going to be it it would be him this is certainly the closest that
6:06 am
president trump has come to assigning blame to the crown prince in particular and how how high up does he believe that this goes this coverup. well once again he said he really wants to believe the assurances of innocence he's received both from the saudi king and indeed from the saudi crown prince but that appears to be changing certainly with regard to the crown prince he has been preparing throughout president trump at one stage raising the possibility of some rogue operation then he said there was a plot that went wrong but at no stage did he link the most senior saudi leadership with the event until that is the seafaring where he has reiterated his belief in the innocence of the saudi king in this matter he has for the first time implied that there is the possibility that the crown prince himself is involved in
6:07 am
the killing that it was an assassination ordered from the very top mike thanks very much mike hanna in washington let's talk not designer harder who is tracking developments force in istanbul so dana how would turkey react then to the pomp aoe announcement about visas and the rest of it. well definitely the trumpet ministration taking a much more harder stance and this is what turkey wanted from the start turkey has been worried really and concerned that the us administration will hope that this crisis would just pass because of the cross close relationship between the trumpet ministration and the de facto ruler in saudi arabia mohamad bin there's still been no official reaction from the turkish government or turkish officials but what is clear is that the visit of the cia director to turkey played
6:08 am
a role what we understand is that she was presented with the evidence she was able to assess the evidence that has been gathered by turkish intelligence and security services over the past three weeks she is going to present that evidence to to try later today or or tomorrow but clearly that evidence played a role in changing the trumpet ministrations position turkey from the very start has insisted that it has evidence that she was killed inside that consulate and it was a preplanned murder and it also linked mohamed bin salmen to the murder with the leaks that have been given to the media showing that the his security detail men and his security detail were part of that fifteen member squad or hit team as they call them. saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man offering condolences to the son salah who is believed to be under
6:09 am
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 we iterated that those responsible for the death of the saudi journalist will be held to account whoa the meeting was held just hours after president version of our design 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 where the incident to place therefore my offer is for
6:10 am
these fifteen people plus three people the eighteen arrested to be tried in the stumble hardiman what i mean is. i personally don't doubt the sincerity of the custodian of the two holy mosques king solomon been abdulla's is on the other hand it is very important that such a critical investigation about a murder is carried out by a truly i'm biased unfair delegation with no doubt about their connections are to go on 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 over all 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 of the
6:11 am
dismemberment of the body have been the video recording the old 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 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
6:12 am
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 our gone described killing in a political speech which stopped short of naming who he believes was responsible. the defacto ruler of saudi arabia will have a good time and made 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 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. mamma been so man is expected to address the investment conference in riyadh on wednesday it will be his first public comments since the case erupted it's not clear whether he will address the case during that
6:13 am
speech there her life in istanbul thanks very much our billions of saudi dollars have flooded into u.s. high tech companies for years but since killing new questions are being raised about the ethics of that relationship rob reynolds 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 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 some on's investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green ale well founder steve case and c.e.o.
6:14 am
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 soft bank the world's largest investment fund so far saudi arabia has put forty five billion dollars into soft bank so-called vision fund and the crown prince says he'd 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
6:15 am
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'd 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 all right still ahead when we come back the u.s. confirms it will withdraw from the nuclear weapons treaty with russia why the kremlin agreed.
6:16 am
hello again well across north america we're looking at a change of temperatures of course it is that time of year as we go towards a lot of part of october a lot of air is coming in from the north so that means temperatures are going to be dropping particularly across the great lakes and also into the northeast so a lot of single digits coming into play auto is only going to be getting to about nine degrees toronto at seven new york is going to be a bright day but thirteen degrees for you as we go towards midweek then we also have a lot of rain down here towards the south though from dallas over here towards new orleans over towards mobile we'll be seeing some very wet conditions as well but for atlanta it is going to be a cloudy day with a temperature of thirteen or across mexico of course we're watching two storms making landfall those storms have made landfall in our dissipating but we're still
6:17 am
dealing with some of that moisture across the area so localized flooding could be still a problem in that region but for central america we're looking quite dry where the rain is going to be down here towards the southwest costa rica as well as into panama that is going to be rainy for the next few days temperatures into the low thirty's here across managua but across cuba we're looking quite nice with a temperature of ana twenty nine degrees there and then very quickly across south america we are seeing some rain across the sun sea and that's keeping the temperatures down to about twenty five degrees and a rainy day for rio and about twenty seven. stories of life. and inspiration. a series of short documentaries from around the wilds. that santa brings the human spirit against the aunts coming from a simple. al-jazeera
6:18 am
selects changemaker. hello again you're watching i just be a reminder of our top story u.s. president donald trump for the first time suggests saudi crown prince mohammed bin man's possible involvement in the murder of journalists. in an interview with the wall street journal says the crown prince is running things in the kingdom so if anyone were to be involved it would be him ministration has revoked visas of twenty one saudi nationals turkey's president wants those behind the murder of to.
6:19 am
be extradited to face trial in his country. has called for an independent investigation. of the u.s. and russian presidents could meet in france next month american plans to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty donald trump and bloody putin will both attend a world war one commemoration event in paris on november eleventh russia says they plan to meet on the sidelines u.s. national security advisor john bolton help talks with putin in moscow the more than thirty year old arms pact eliminated some categories of nuclear and other ballistic missiles 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 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
6:20 am
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 superpower you 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 ha for one third of their missiles that would actually violated this treaty this is what we have to say i think you work from our perspective as president trump said on saturday said again yesterday to deal with the question of russian violations of the i.m.f.
6:21 am
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.m.f. . the united nations says millions more people in yemen are facing famine them. previously thought the u.n. humanitarian chief has given the security council an update on the situation there mark says the three year conflict has left some fourteen million people on the brink of famine and completely reliant on aid just to be clear my assessment
6:22 am
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 a new survey work an analysis is that the total number of people facing pre-fab in conditions meaning they're entirely reliant on external aid for survival could soon reach not eleven million but fourteen million that's hard for the total population of the country a saudi arabia and bahrain have added iran's revolutionary guards corps to their national antiterrorism lists the revolutionary guard is an elite division of the iranian army saudi arabia has long accused iran of supporting armed groups across the region iran dismissed it as an attempt by the saudis to distract the world from

the murder of janata shall g's. a palestinian teenager has died after he was shot by israeli forces at the gaza border last week seventeen year old was shot in the head during a protest on friday he later died in the hospital israel says he breached the border fence during a protest and was then shot palestinians have been holding weekly protests against the israeli occupation and blockade in gaza since march. how well police states that's how human rights watch describes the occupied palestinian territories of gaza and the west bank in a two year investigation it found dozens of cases of arrests abuse even torture which it says shows systematic repression of free speech ari force a report 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
6:24 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 hamas forces 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 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
6:25 am
palestinians most basic rights. but it argues that's no reason to ignore what it calls systematic repression carried out by two high or low 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 not 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 linked to television he's been detained four times twice he says he was tortured and i deserve a camel to be in or i have a strong feeling that i can be detained any time without any need to press charges
6:26 am
they can open my facebook and consider any post charge because a cybercrime law is very vague. the p.a.'s interior ministry didn't make anyone available for interviews 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. 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 with. human rights watch says its report shows that such cases aren't aberrations but part of a system which defines insulting high or thirty's causing sectarian strife as publishable crimes are a force that al-jazeera gaza and iraq at least six people have been killed in a bomb attack two soldiers were among those killed when a car exploded near
6:27 am
a restaurant and crowded markets in the northern city of it's still not clear who is behind the attack. a man believed to be a japanese journalist captured in syria three years ago has been released japanese government is verify his identity but said it was highly likely to be a suitor they received information from qatar he'd been released and he's now in turkey sudan was reportedly held by. the hellish sham formerly known as in front of a seven thousand people fleeing poverty and violence in three central american countries are defying donald trump by continuing their march towards the u.s. border they're now heading north through mexico u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or says the caravan poses a danger and warned the migrants to turn back from a security standpoint there is no proper accounting of who these individuals in the caravan are and this poses an unacceptable security rest to the united states
6:28 am
moreover many of these people are right targets for human traffickers and others who would exploited them. we don't want that to happen united states also has a message for those who are currently part of this caravan for any caravan which follows you will not be successful in getting into the united states illegally no matter what i repeat the caribbean will not cross our southern border illegally under any circumstances and john heilemann reports now from southern mexico where he's been following the. 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 to wash themselves and just basically to relax a little bit many of them are coming with family so the families are taking
6:29 am
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 some of them from el salvador guatemala we aussies family from they could argue why it is that they're traveling you know then that i woke up when i left nicaragua first because there are no jobs even when you're trying to find a job you price violence even my child at school gets basin up and i'm a single mother i can't leave my children alone while 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
6:30 am
there's 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 very hostile united states. this is al jazeera it's going to round up all the top stories the united states is taking the first punitive action yet in the case of murdered saudi journalist jim alpha it's revoking visas of twenty one and saudi nationals and warning of further measures president donald trump has called it quote the worst cover up in the history of cover ups nothing that they've done as well and certainly has not been. spoken of properly they did the wrong thing even thinking about the idea
6:31 am
they certainly did a better job of execution and they certainly did a bad job of talking about it or covering it up if you'd like to say but i would say it was a total fiasco. turkey's president wants those behind the murder of john moussa shoki to be extra time extradited and face trial in his country wretched type of one has called for an independent investigation. the u.s. and russian presidents could meet in france next month over american plans to withdraw from a landmark nuclear weapons treaty donald trump and vladimir putin will both attend a world war one commemoration event in paris on november eleventh russia says they plan to meet on the sidelines u.s. national security advisor john bolton help talks with putin in moscow the united nations says millions more people in yemen are facing famine than previously thought the u.n. humanitarian chief has given the security council an update on the situation there
