so plenty more painful injections pulled off a link to the border. with d.n.d. eyes drug offering a glimmer of hope for the fight against. their aim is to use this method of working for all of the neglected diseases giving new purpose to all those compounds previously locked away in volts. despite developments in medicine and technology the only mobility option available for the millions of people with some form of promises remains as it did centuries ago a wheelchair and the limitations a will chairs are not just with regard to bill it's on numerous medical and psychological issues associated with. and i'm here in san francisco america to find out about an exciting new development for people with chronic.
4:01 pm
just to meet our young gentleman who had a spinal cord injury quite recently and has been found ever since thanks for letting me come to your house. wow that is some of you got the whole day yeah right underneath. asking about your accident it was you know i was hanging out of friends and we were locked out of his apartment he lived on the third floor and figured i'd climb up to his balcony and get in and save the day as i was getting up i fell so i fell for about ten meters landed on my neck as i kind of came to the hospital i noticed as i was lying there that i couldn't move my legs something was pretty seriously wrong i broke my c five and c six vertebrae how do you cope we such a dramatic. impact on your life i just don't see any. other
4:02 pm
option but to cope. i don't want to say brace what happened but really accept what happened and kind of move forward. a spinal cord injury is. incredibly devastating injury it affects everything from physical strength and everything to when you need to go use the restroom and not being able to look at people and i level constantly have to look up there's so many benefits to being able to stand up and walk aside from just the mobility aspect of it so to be able to potentially experience that and feel those benefits i think is just incredibly exciting. exit wound exe is an organization that is at the forefront of technological advancements which are allowing people like rush the opportunity to walk again. very impressive. thank you we're really lucky to have an it's very cool or a ford factory really yeah. so this is the seat yes
4:03 pm
it's basically a wearable robot it takes a person and it can provide torte to their joints where they maybe can't so when i stand i provide torque on my knees so i don't like this but then sue provides that and you provide everything else so your weight doesn't actually go through this so your weight goes through you naturally so there's the obvious benefit of allowing that person to be able to stand up and walk but there are the clinical benefits that will wear of the suit things like your area tract infection bell movement complications and things like pressure sores all of those we think we can substantiate that walking getting up and walking is going to help. so this one here is fresh off our assembly line how is it controlled it looks at various sensors all around. and when you when you position yourself correctly with
4:04 pm
your shoulders basically center over your lead foot it knows you want to take another step because it looks kind of unnatural is suddenly just standing like this turns out people only really do that when they're going to take another step so then it takes another step so how is it used in clinical practice at the moment so right now it's designed for use in a rehab center with a physical therapist the dream of course is that eventually you get those units and then you're replaced more and more for the wheelchair time during their day. all russia rides with his parents to use the exit seat and to walk for the first time since his accident i think they're doing really first yeah let's go. it's just. you need. to attach to this so yeah that's one of their safety and actually you know. this is
4:05 pm
a good look at those who are. it would suggest. one two three or straight down. but i. interesting. very interesting. all right so the first step is always the right. thing to use the. body just wants to walk on. it is doesn't like this whole sitting thing. mr concept. so what do you think. it's to see in gift position because that she's to be. running biking there the psyche everything.
4:06 pm
i think given that side books should be defined i think jim. i think any head that comes from technology would be. off the hall from now gets to control the x. so you suit him so so there's four different buttons that would trigger the first step to take any one of the buttons would you describe. lead on. this is easier. because you were more in control yeah it's kind of like i just have to figure out where to go. already the psychological benefits all clear for us it's not normal to be used creating your head up all the time. feels like you're. part of society a part of your communication and conversations again. you know the
4:07 pm
future is going to get really exciting just in the bio on experience in general i think you're going to be able to see someone come into an airplane and. an exoskeleton and sit down and on the seat and you're going to see grandma at the mall and she's going to show off her hip new acts so payments you know she's going to be able to take a walk with her grandkids that she couldn't take it's not far that's what's really exciting is it's really not science fiction anymore. i would like to see this technology go to a point where it replaces a wheelchair if not all the time the much of. eighty percent of the visually impaired could be cured without access to treatment
4:08 pm
. and where there is a will there is a way strong a tossed metal covering over seventy seven countries how many of these patients these scenes today everybody in pakistan. provides a flea treatment for over one million patients and yet the cure revisited on al-jazeera business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together.
4:09 pm
business updates brought to you by qatar airways going places together the cricket world isn't not about the tricks thing i mean you have to think why would you give me a got the guest then we didn't bring him again instead i get a big big fan base for al jazeera as investigative unit reveals explosive new evidence documentary confirms to my analogy a very hard profile figure in much fiction and pushed for it to go this al-jazeera investigation cricket's much fixes the files.
4:10 pm
this is al jazeera. watching the news live from doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. the cover up was horrible. donald trump describes the killing of jamal the worst cover up. for the first time the us president the possible involvement of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin. and revoking the visas of the saudi suspects in the murder of the first sanctions by the u.s. government have been imposed. donald trump has hardened his rhetoric on close allies saudi arabia over the murder
4:11 pm
of the journalist jamal khashoggi in turkey on october the second just last week the u.s. president seemed to accept the kingdom's explanation that he was killed in a fistfight now he's condemning riyadh's account as the quote worst cover up ever and he's hinted the crown prince may be linked to the events in istanbul donald trump telling the wall street journal mohammed bin cell man runs the kingdoms of anyone would be involved it would be him all this as his administration bans twenty one's suspects from entering the united states turkey's president has repeated calls to hold these killers to account. saying there's strong evidence the killing was premeditated and those responsible will not escape justice. yanina. this incident is being dealt with in a manner which befits the turkish state you do not want anyone to be implicated and
4:12 pm
we've strive to ensure that evidence is being brought to light we did not allow propaganda to disrupt the episodes our security and intelligence forces have findings which have all been confirmed and yesterday in our group party conference i share this but it is also true that some people are disturbed by this sharing the sensitivity and the determination and transparency which turkey has shown has been appreciated by the whole world and not just the fiance of the victim from the person who gave the order to the person who executed the order we are determined not to let anyone escape justice and insert the arabia itself the crown prince is due to give his first speech in the next few hours since this crisis began mohammed bin salma will speak at the investor conference that's been hit by the controversy with dozens of businesses and business elites refusing to attend we'll be covering the story in detail here on the news up at first this report from mike hanna in washington for the first time a tone of anger in president trump's remarks they had
4:13 pm
a very bad original concept. it was carried out poorly and the cover up was one of the worst in the history of coverups very simple. bad deal should have never been thought of. felt but he really messed up and they had the worst cover up ever. and we're chittister is at the deal standpoint when they thought about it because whoever thought of that idea. i think is in big trouble late in the day at a meeting with military offices he was awestruck what level in the saudi leadership the cover up occurred i spoke with the king. i spoke with the ground bridges' yesterday. and he strongly said that he had nothing to do with this this was at a lower level. we have people right now in saudi arabia literally just now getting their planes and then in an evening interview with the wall street journal
4:14 pm
president trump gave an even harsher assessment as he repeated his conviction that king solomon did not know about the killing in advance but in regard to the crown prince's possible involvement is reported to have said well the prince is running things over there more so at the stage he's running things and so if anybody were going to be it would be him and first punitive measures introduced by the secretary of state to get specific saudi individuals total it's not clear with that they are all the ones previously identified in the contentious saudi report we have identified at least some of the individuals responsible including those in the intelligence services the royal court the foreign ministry and other sorry ministries who we suspect to have been involved in mr to show you is death. we are taking appropriate actions which include revoking visas entering visa lookouts and other measures we're also working with the treasury department to review the
4:15 pm
applicability of the global ming that's the sanctions to those individuals congress has already invoked the global magnitsky act which gives the administration a maximum of four months to investigate the killing and decide what sanction should be imposed on individuals or states found responsible norma's the vice president also expressed his horror at the killing and added that the information gathered by cia director gina has bill in turkey will be key in the coming days i know that when the cia director returns and she'll be briefing the president myself and our entire team on what the turks have assembled and president trump has made it very clear that the before resources of our intelligence community are working with the intelligence officials in turkey in our interactions with saudi arabia and also with other countries around the world are going to follow the facts and then decisions will be made the cia director is likely to be one of those who president
4:16 pm
trump says will gather at the white house wednesday to go through the evidence that has been collated in recent days the one common message from all in the trumpet ministration is the importance of the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia but there would be no greater test off this relationship than if it was determined that this killing was indeed an assassination ordered at the highest levels of the saudi kingdom mike hanna al jazeera washington. correspondence. sinan just in the past mr again kind of reaching his central message from yesterday as far as he's concerned he is expecting people to be extradited to turkey from saudi arabia. yes this is what his expection is calling as you said since yesterday and he said
4:17 pm
it. during a meeting with lawmakers also today this morning a similar statement came from turkey's justice minister up to have it. on the local t.v. he said that if the it turkish prosecutor finds strong evidence or has strong suspicions that the saudi consul general is directly in world with his murder turkey can fill out an invitation and demand that the consul general is to turkey by a court order so these are very similar statements. in line with the president. but however chirk as i have been saying doing all our all our doing all our shows turkey doesn't have the power alone turkey meus international support in order to carry out this investigation case to to an international level because as our don stated it is
4:18 pm
a political murder and it has been premeditated and it seems that those fifteen squad who came for democracy does this appearance of murder where you would like to it frame it if they study it their lesson well they know every detail about security checks how they are going to enter because they came with private jets also they fled stumble within a couple of hours despite their hotel bookings were four or five days nearby the consulate so they didn't spend even forty eight hours so they knew all. all the diplomatic actually all the legal holes in it in a low system in a country like turkey so they are actually protected on their diplomatic immunity but have never and now we're hearing from some some people who are actually involved of international law that every other convention that's gives diplomatic immunity doesn't cover the murder cases and also if there's
4:19 pm
a strong suspicion or strong evidence that that the person who has a diplomatic immunity has direct plea is directly involved in a murder case these people can be exempted from vienna convention and the vienna convention doesn't include consul general it includes the ambassadors so i am seeing that mr president do on this trying to gain international support from western countries from united states from the you and also maybe from the i.c.c. but everything will be much more clear as today the u.s. officials have the meeting with the cia director who had the seven hour long meeting with the turkish counterpart talk confidant yesterday at the cia director came to turkey will have delegation of thirty seven members and we don't know what they spoke in that is seven hour long meeting but we know that turkey presented the evidence is turkey made them listen most probably made them listen to the voice
4:20 pm
recordings so depending on what kind of support turkey will have from the united states turkey will have a stronger voice to request the extradition of these offer shows. it's not no one can assure that saudi arabia will accept to extradite those people or will can sound be willing to send those people in order to it's. protect his son to get away with this situation but. prisons are down the road that he will be chasing after this case and i have to remind that there is a local election coming up in a couple of months in early two thousand and nineteen if i don't play it fails in this he will be losing in the local elections a lot of credibility this is also another impact that is being tough. thanks very much. joining us today here in the studio and sultan baraka director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the institute so
4:21 pm
a seven hour meeting between the cia boss and her opposite number so for mr erdogan on his desire for the direction of travel of this is clear but he won't get that unless this external pressure brought to bear on riyadh donald trump. it's true but i actually suspect that the real desire is to keep the affair at the center of international attention and by extension to keep turkey at the center of what's going on at the moment his request for the. extradition of those fifteen eighteen i don't think it really has anything to do with justice to those individuals i think it's got all to do with trying to prolong the affair as much as possible because as we saw from his presentation yesterday oregon is a very. shrewd operator and he knows how to manipulate public opinion he has been was able to capture the world attention for what is usually a local issue or local time and he presented absolutely nothing new in terms of
4:22 pm
evidence what is done and what he's doing i think he's trying his best to repair his relationship with the united states to have leverage over the united states and saudi arabia that will bring good to his own politics his own country and to some extent it has started to work is now yesterday has been able for the last couple of weeks has been directly to president trump which was an issue before the cia director's there for several hours talking about the evidence or what's going on so something there doesn't add up and from a turkish perspective i think he's doing his very best to get the best out of it and in his own interest use the word leverage the in in the kind of parallel bank accounts of how much leverage the arabia and turkey. this mr earle one has a lot of leverage he's got a lot of traction yes in part because of the andrew bronson situation that the
4:23 pm
american pastor who was detained in turkey that situation has been resolved but relationships there for improved how much leverage does the crown prince in riyadh have here not very much apparently and yet both the turkish leadership and the saudi leadership seem not to be allowing themselves any any room to fall back into when it comes to adopting another position if they have to at some point in the future i think the crown prince is in a very difficult position he spent a lot of time presenting himself as as the man in control of all affairs of saudi arabia and now he finds itself in a position where he has to deny association with some very central very important decision that has been made now as long as the united states continue to believe that its relationship is tied to this one single man and that trade deals that have been struck recently really are can only go through as long as one hundred minutes
4:24 pm
and man is in power the i think i suspect that that action will be there to try and get the soft landing of this issue as as possible with him staying in power if the americans reach the conclusion that they can actually rescue their deals they can sustain their relationships maybe as or divine was trying to do yesterday to focus on man rather than on the young prince then they were probably reached the conclusion that the one hundred someone can be sacrificed and moved moved on ok interesting phrase that a soft landing perhaps the royal palace in riyadh once a soft landing undoubtedly come as a gesture that the trumpet ministration definitely does want a soft landing mr erdogan doesn't care whether it's a soft landing or a hard landing he's marching his troops up to the top of the hill he warms eighteen people extradited from surrey arabia to. ankara to istanbul to face a legal process the chance is about happening on a scale of one to ten zero surely i think saudi arabia will resist as much as
4:25 pm
possible because if they do they will lose all control on the possibility of designing an outcome for the trial in saudi arabia they have a certain procedures they are they can manipulate tribal affair is all sorts of leverage is that they could use all of that would be lost if they end up in turkey and to be honest from his presentation yesterday he didn't really come across as determined on this issue he kind of invited it as and as and i as an idea said earlier i think his real object is to prolong the discussion around these issues as much as possible ok we'll have to leave the south america for the moment as a thank you very much you know most of what turkey is linking the prince to the killing of jamal khashoggi turkish investigators say men from haven't been summoned security team were part of the fifteen member murder squad and the turkish president says the suspect should be tried in istanbul xina holder reports now from
4:26 pm
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 hours after president reza kind of a 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
4:27 pm
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 to stumble hardiman what i mean is. i personally don't doubt the sincerity of the custodian of the two holy mosques king solomon to be not do as 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
4:28 pm
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 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 rug operation even though among those identified as a member of saudi crown prince a security detail an autopsy expert saudi agent and
4:29 pm
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 defacto ruler of saudi arabia 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 senator al jazeera istanbul. ok let's bring in
4:30 pm
queues the politics news editor of the daily suburbs. language newspaper he joined us on skype from istanbul a seven hour meeting between the cia's boss you know hospital and her opposite number in your country that's a lot of detail that's a big conversation what do you think was said i think. you know the details of the investigations have been definitely discussed with the u.s. contour cards. between the u.s. can which we can u.s. r.t. and the turkish parties but. how this will be endorsed at the state level between trump and mr are gone is going to be shaped by the result of this conversation i think the details are definitely will be shared and because what's important here is that turkey has not handled this as a simple criminal investigation nor has it handled as an issue between turkey and
4:31 pm
saudi arabia so turkey particularly through president don's speech yesterday as well you see that it is handled and treated as a matter that is concerns the whole international community so this discussion between the cia chief and took his counterparts will be handled in a way that will put pressure on the u.s. government through concrete evidence so to some steps are taking to be taken on saudi arabia turkey is handling this very carefully so the diplomatic and the intelligence discussions need to be in very much concrete detail so that there is no going back and forth on rather weak evidence as saw tookie is handling this through the lens that through a lens that. they can position this is this evidence incident. turned it into an international issue that needs to be needs to be basically
4:32 pm
put on saudi arabia's table so that they can have some explanation for what has happened i mean ok i don't was due to interrupt her second mr chairman if i may concrete evidence let's discuss concrete evidence here's the pushback when you say that phrase concrete evidence are we talking about or do you know recordings of this man being killed that have been played to gina house bill or copies of which have been handed over to her which will she will then act as a cipher she will relay that information back to the trumpet ministration in washington and then those ordeal recordings and the reaction to them in effect represent a radical departure from standing foreign policy on the part of the united states towards its seventy four year old ally saudi arabia because i guess that's what's got to happen to keep mr erdogan i'm bored. that is true but i mean i am not sure
4:33 pm
i mean there is there are reports that there is an audio recording i mean aired on was very short in his position saying that there is concrete evidence in turkish authorities hand how this will be shared with how this has been shared or will be shared with the u.s. officials is another issue that we still don't have clear and exact information about but this is a way i mean this it took he does not want this situation to be. saudi arabia. issue that will affect their bilateral relations and everyone was very careful in his speech yesterday as well i mean mohammed did some man's name was not even part of the speech when when mom had been someone has been you know one of them most speculative actors in this situation he was very careful in how he situated the incidence and how we address king solomon as well so you will
4:34 pm
has said that this is an international situation and it needs to be investigated and those who are accountable need to be put to trial a fair trial with international parties involved so again i mean it will be difficult for the united states to back up on its position and keep its very solid alliance with mohammed and so man if the internet if the international community is convinced based on a on a concrete evidence so i think this is one route dad may perhaps tookie is following sort of you can secure its position and its ties in saudi arabia and a situation and the investigation is also carried out through more neutral and unbiased and also as fair investigation as hell so international community support to turkey here will be very decisive on how so it. is put on saudi
4:35 pm
arabia. and united states in shaping its relationship with the current regime in saudi arabia good to talk to you thank you very much well as we've been saying the crown prince is shuttle to make a speech in the coming hours about investment conference in rio but few business leaders than expected will hear it dozens of them stayed away because.
