on it and online. it was a total fiasco from day one. donald trump accuses saudi arabia of the worst cover up in the history of the killing of saudi journalists. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking basis entering visa lookouts and other measures and the u.s. secretary of state identifies him prepares to punish some saudis suspected of being involved in fresh algy's death but i'm sure the union we have strong evidence this was a premeditated murder. no one wants all involved from top to bottom to face punishment .
7:01 am
this is al jazeera live from doha harsh words from donald trump towards the saudi crown prince for the first time the u.s. president appeared to hint at prince mohammed bin man's possible involvement in the murder of journalist we'll have more on that in a moment of trump's tough rhetoric comes one comes on a day when the u.s. is taking its first punitive actions in the case it is revoking visas of twenty one saudi national secretary of state might pay zero also warning of more to come separately trump called the killing of quote the worst cover up in the history of cover ups but he insists on staying away from economic sanctions he's now putting the onus on the congress for a response. nothing that they've done as done well certainly has not been.
7:02 am
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 the suspects to be tried in his country wretched type one rejecting saudi arabia's version of what happened. and calling it a premeditated political murder she had written c. begins our coverage 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 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
7:03 am
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 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
7:04 am
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 . 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 together and i assume that they're sharing the information that they have with has and if that evidence shows that this was an assassination order 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 continue 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 alive now to mike hanna in washington so my president spoken several times. regarding the killing now he's been interviewed by the wall street journal
7:05 am
what what did he have to tell them well several times during the day president trump reiterated the phrase that he has used many times during this crisis that he's spoken both to the saudi king and to the crown prince and they've reassured him of their innocence in this particular matter but the saving at an interview with wall street journal it appears that president trump changed his tune somewhat to regard to the crown prince at least for the first time implying that the crown prince could have been involved in this whole affair this is what president trump has to say he's running things there and so if anybody were going to be it it's going to be him certainly the first time that president trump has entertain the possibility of the crown prince's involvement in this murder and mike how how high up does president trump think this coverup goes. well we heard
7:06 am
various things from president trump over the past weeks we've heard discussion about possible road elements we've heard him say that the saudi report in which it said that it was a rogue group was credible he's changed his tune now in recent days and clearly these most recent statements concerning the crown prince indicates a change in thinking perhaps i'm president trump he continues to insist he believes in the innocence of the saudi king but now raising questions about the possible involvement of the crown prince what is happening over the next twenty four hours is critical in terms of what the determination is by the trumpet ministration we will have the cia director gene has bill will be arriving back in d.c. all of the who have been visiting saudi arabia been to turkey gathering information will arrive at the white house in the course of wednesday there they will hold a meeting with president trump they will give him all the information that they
7:07 am
have gathered and then the determination will be made so this is a critical period in terms of defining and determining what the trump administration is going to do and who is going to aim any action at mike hanna live for us in washington thanks very much mike now best mammal manny is senior fellow at the stimson center a nonpartisan policy research center she says trump's latest statements on hand man been some men are damning. well definitely firmer than ever before and he's clearly made it very clear that he thinks there's 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 had meant made today to the wall street journal to new york times all pointing to this idea that haven't been solomon is in control that if there is responsibility to be had if
7:08 am
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 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 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 see asking in 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 a 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 there may indeed be some take up but by congress but of course this is
7:09 am
not something that trump wants to have on his agenda any more and out to turkey in a much anticipated speech by president tyburn when he is also linked to crown prince mohammed bin some men to the murder of he says men from some men security detail were part of the fifteen member hit squad so in a hot has more from istanbul. saudi crown prince mohammed bin sound man offering condolences to the son salah 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 we iterated that those responsible for the death of the saudi journalist will be held to account whoa the meeting was held just
7:10 am
hours after president treasured time of 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. where the incident took place therefore my offer is for these fifteen people plus three people the eighteen arrested to be tried in istanbul 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
7:11 am
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 of which was amounts of with the dismemberment of the body have been the video. 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
7:12 am
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 the killing in a political speech which stops short of naming who he believes was responsible. the diffract a ruler of saudi arabia have a good time and made a brief appearance at the investment conference in riyadh that he had hoped would
7:13 am
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 senator al jazeera istanbul. let's go live now to jim. in this was a much anticipated speech from the turkish president to wash to what extent did he kind of fill in more of the blanks here on this investigation. well i mean in terms of more information we haven't really given any maybe we've got had at least a bit more clarity is. how strongly it's like he believes the leaks that have been coming this is the first time we've seen an official in fact the highest official in the country take ownership of the narrative that has been pushed over the past
7:14 am
three weeks but in terms of new information on you have a device that wasn't really revealed by those small anecdotal evidence is that they now mentioned in her piece namely the scouting of one of the forests where it's believed that with local collaborate just possibly the remains of german officials who were disposed of but what was more significant with regards to the president's speech is his request for suspects to be tried in truckee is his mound to get to the very highest level of those who were behind this and also his attempt to maybe maneuver on his way through ensuring that he will maintains pressure on the specific personalities and by just people believe it was alluding to the crown prince mohammed bin some man but was he doing that also keeping a diplomatic track open with the kingdom with saudi arabia they had of states king
7:15 am
saddam on so it was more of a political maneuvering than it was revealing everything there are still many questions to be whether that is because the president still wants to give time to negotiate whether it's because maybe he held back after the arrival of the head of the cia or whether it's because they will this investigation that the turks are leading is ongoing we're not quite sure but three weeks have gone by now and the likelihood is that something really has to give us some points because for it to continue to drag on is seems seems a bit. that it would be i think even more difficult to see not only on the agenda of the turks but obviously as we heard earlier from mike and others as far as the americans are concerned they want to see this from up sooner rather than later. jim thank you jim attache yeah in istanbul. all right still ahead on al-jazeera and new human rights report uncovers abuse and torture in the occupied palestinian territory. the u.s.

7:20 am
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 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 nine hundred eighty seven it was a different world the only two major nuclear superpower you the soviet union and the united states well the 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
7:21 am
said on saturday he 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 to withdraw when bolton was asked if he was worried about another 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 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. all the united nations says millions more people in yemen are facing famine and previously thought the u.n. humanitarian chief has given the security council an update on the situation there mark local says the three year conflict has left some fourteen million people on
7:22 am
the brink of famine and completely reliant on eight. 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 lives 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 saudi arabia and bahrain have added iran's revolutionary guard corps to their national antiterrorism lists the revolutionary guard is an elite division
7:23 am
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 jamal khashoggi 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 the protest palestinians have been holding weekly protests against the israeli occupation and blockade in gaza since march. a power police state that is 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 a rest used even torture which it says shows systematic repression of free speech are a force that reports from gaza. hamas internal security offices carry out
7:24 am
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 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
7:25 am
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 to fire about police states. one case cited in the report was in june when the palestinian authority security forces crack down on the 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. 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. know i have
7:26 am
a strong feeling that i can be detained any time without any need to press charges they can open my facebook and consider any post charge because the cybercrime law is very vague. the p.a.'s 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. 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 of al-jazeera garza. a man believed to be

7:30 am
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 going to round up at the top stories the united states is taking the first punitive action yet in the case of murdered saudi journalists. it is revoking visas of twenty one saudi nationals and warning of further measures president donald trump has called it quote the worst cover up in the history of coverups nothing that they have done had she has done well and certainly has not been. spoken of properly they did the wrong thing even thinking about the idea they certainly did
7:31 am
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. turkey's president wants those behind the murder of jamal khashoggi to be extradited to face trial in his country russia type one has called for an independent investigation. 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 putin will both attend a world war one commemoration event in paris on november eleventh russia says they plan to hold a bilateral meeting 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 mark says the three year conflict has left some fourteen million people on the
