shit and the investigation is also carried out through more neutral and unbiased and also fair investigation as hell so international community's support to turkey here will be very decisive on how so a pressure is put on saudi arabia and the united states in shaping its relationship with the current regime in saudi arabia good to talk to you thank you very much thank you well as we've been saying the crown prince shuttle to make a speech in the coming hours about investment conference in riyadh but few business leaders than expected will hear it dozens of them stayed away because of the killing of jamal khashoggi and ethical questions are being asked in california where high tech companies have benefited from billions of dollars worth of saudi investment from silicon valley rob reynolds has the story. 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 summons investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green a.o.l. founder steve case and c.e.o. darren shockey who said he was very troubled by reports of cars show g.'s death khosrowshahi as 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 contracts 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 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 ok let's bring in robert good sheet robert is a senior lecturer at lancaster university and a former reporter for the washington post and new york times who joins us on skype from. another day another shift by donald trump how does that work was absolutely spectacular that president trump would talk about the killing of a journalist in saudi arabia as just almost a bad business deal you know his comments this is one of the worst cover ups ever is also quite ironic given his own. past in his personal lives his business life and politics but more importantly talking about the killing and the

way it went down to the way the information came out or didn't come out reads as another business transaction another analysis from his perspective then i think for american public's it's quite confusing about where we should be placing issues of human rights journalistic power and democracy when the president is talking about business and not necessarily about human rights and in cases like this and i see this morning your own former publication the new york times quoting jared couche you know who apparently has got a plan for peace in the middle east very close to the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon being quoted the new york times as saying what we want to believe so that's not necessarily going to be the truth of what actually happened it's the truth they want to hear. yeah i mean this is this is fake news times to me this is really talking about alternative facts something that the trump

ministrations become expert at complicating in kind confusing and what will be interesting is if any of these concrete facts that have been talked about in this program emerge and how that it's fun into you know scapegoating perhaps rogue killers gone wild or just a mistake and you know at some point we have to put this onus back on to the american public how much of this area are they expected to take in in terms of misinformation or just information and what are the consequences not just at an international level but at a domestic political level when when our when our public officials are speaking this way and doing these types of analyses of quite dangerous and troubling times and with thinking today as well we might hear from the crime prince the saudi crown prince he might when he goes to the investment conference a little later today announce fifty billion dollars worth of contracts and deals

being done so for him apparently it's business as usual for the trumpet ministration it comes to arms deals with saudi it's business as usual and yet use the word consequences that donald trump his state his his stopgap position seems to be very severe consequences but you can't do can you very severe consequences and do multibillion dollar deals those two things do not click together. well and i think that's absolutely right and you've seen multiple presidencies over a very long time over these sixty seventy years where we've known about issues in saudi arabia and other nation states where we where we do dealings that things aren't quite kosher or things that go against our values or as americans or go against the interests of americans and certainly you know some of this comes back to conversation about potential ties after nine eleven and still we have questions about what those relationships were between saudi arabia in the united states what

actions were taken and again this does come back down to a domestic politics in the united states to a large degree. when's enough enough how bad do the human rights atrocities have to get how how overt and do these do these inequalities have to be for for there to be unrest enough in the united states to to say arms deals aren't our first interest but human lives are going to just get one final thought from the robot about the domestic aspects of this she used and what the domestic politics you've got midterm congressional elections in november the sixth year this is the top story for fox and friends fox news this is still the top story for c.n.n. it's still front page news all over america the trumpet ministration you know kellyanne conway is not being asked on fox news to talk about how good the economy is doing she's not being honest on that talk about you know how many jobs we're creating with the wall street likes us or not instead of which you get certain

cable networks leading on a still by and large relatively obscure or journalist who was murdered a long way away from main street america is that's a problem for donald trump. well what's really interesting is when american press talk about this journalist it's a u.s. journalist and they forget that this is also you know this was also a person who was an actor you know and many ways and activists a dissident a journalist and saudi arabia and so there's a lot of confusion in the rhetoric among journalism about what type of american president this person was but in terms of politics or the midterm you know a lot of these come as distractions we're not talking about as you said the jobs and economy but we're also not talking about health care we're also not talking about immigration we're also not talking about policing race relations the need to movement so these these moments come unfortunately at great times of destruction when you have people going to the polls not just for elections that have national

ramifications but propositions one through twenty ballots and there's just no way that american of average american can know nothing about every single proposition and everything single instance in so some of this distraction helps policies move through propositions to get to get approved well we're what we are talking about things that are up and abstract for probably the average american. to talk to you thank you so much thank you. no just a moment we'll have the weather with kevin but also still to come here on the al-jazeera news out training day for troop spots a new report details a systematic climbed on free speech in gaza and the west bank. i'm andrew thomas in new delhi where the government is under pressure to take action against what's app fake news spread by the messaging service is being held responsible for a string of horrific murders but how much blame should the social media companies

as well as a lot of rain to the south but i want to show you what we can expect here in terms of temperatures today we are looking at single digit highs across parts of poland parts of the ukraine as well as into russia now when we look at tomorrow morning those temperatures are even could be falling a little bit more than that we're looking at a lot of single digits across much of central and eastern europe and when you factor in the windchill here some of these locations tomorrow morning are going to feel like mind more like zero to one degree because of the very gusty winds tomorrow the time just come back up just a little bit but we're still sings very cold air out here towards much of the east also with that cold front we are looking at some severe weather down here towards parts of turkey as that front starts to make its way into parts of the levant. there with sponsored by the time release. u.s. citizens obstructed from saving their families as the crisis in yemen worsens some

watching the al-jazeera news hour i'm here and these are the headlines for the first time since jamal khashoggi was killed three weeks ago the u.s. president has hinted at the involvement of the saudi crown prince in an interview with the wall street journal donald trump. is running saudi arabia so if anyone had been involved it would have been him. mr trump has described the kingdom's handling of the journalist killing as the worst cover up ever and he says whoever organized the plot should be in big trouble his administration plans to revoke the visas of twenty one suspects. the saudi crown prince is due to speak to the investment conference in rio in a few hours dozens of high profile business leaders and politicians are boycotting

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 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 in israeli officer or a palestinian officer. that made me stand for three hours under the servile 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 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 too 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 comedy and no i have 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 it is

a cyber crime 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 is punishable crimes are a force that al-jazeera gaza. well is more yemenis are facing famine than was previously thought the un security council has been briefed on the three and a half year long war by the un humanitarian chief mark a local access fourteen million people are on the brink of famine and completely
