it is a huge response with no vaccine and no. this disease beyond the age of extinction where the problem we know what needs to be done if you don't have the. right how to . cover it was horrible. donald trump describes the killing of jamal khashoggi as the worst cover up ever. and this is an zero live from doha also coming up for the first time the u.s. president heads up a possible and bold print of saudi crown prince mohammed. and revoking the visas of the saudi suspects in the murder of the first sanctions by the u.s.
6:01 pm
government are imposed. donald trump has hardened his rhetoric on close allies saudi arabia over the murder of journalists in turkey on the second of october just last week the president seemed to accept the kingdom's explanation that she was killed in a fistfight now he's condemning riyadh's account as the west cover up ever and he's hinted the crown prince may be linked to the events in istanbul told the wall street journal. runs the kingdom saying that if anyone would be involved it would be him all this says is ministration bans twenty one saudi suspects from entering the u s. president has repeated calls to hold to a counterattack type one says there's strong evidence the killing was premeditated
6:02 pm
and that those responsible will not escape. this incident is being dealt with in a manner which befits the turkish state you do not want anyone to be implicated and 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. what is not a arabia the crown prince is due to give his first speech in the next few hours since the international crisis began. will speak as an investor conference that's been hit by the controversy with dozens of companies and business figures pulling
6:03 pm
out will be covering this story in detail throughout the program but first this report from mike hanna in washington d.c. for the first time a tone of anger in president trump's remarks they had 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. somebody really messed up. and they had the worst cover up ever. and were 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 briggs yesterday. and. he strongly said that he had nothing to do
6:04 pm
with this this was at a lower level. we have people right now in saudi arabia literally just now get in place and then in an evening interview with the wall street journal president trump gave an even hosh 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
6:05 pm
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 applicability of the global magnets 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 and 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. the before resources of our intelligence community working with the
6:06 pm
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 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. because out there joins us live now from grants them out and once again today talking about. cases where the remaining a top priority is an attack as government. yes of
6:07 pm
course it is currently a top priority of course there are some domestic issues that the government is dealing with but. turkey has a local election in early two thousand nine hundred so not only on international terms it is case and it's it's in light moment is actually a big matter for president add on who is also preparing for the coming up local elections and he's actually critical he has a critical position in the in the coming elections so but i have to i have to say the turkish sees this not only as a as a journalist being killed in a stumble turkey also sees it. as an attack as an assault to its software knitty so that's why prisons are gone it's been trying to carry this case to international level and that's why he has been trying to make a call that eighteen suspects who have been imprisoned by saudi authorities shall
6:08 pm
be tried in turkey under an independent investigation or trial but he cannot do it alone of course salman alone is reacting against saudi arabia standing up just for the enlightment of his murder it's impossible to convince international support from the e.u. countries for a western conference also from the muslim countries who have been giving support to the saudi government believing that. the crown prince mohammad was not involved in this murder so now it's time to see what kind of support turkey's going to receive from international arena in order to have a transparent try oh and we are going to see if they will be able to. will to call. general back to turkey by a court order because this is what turkey's just. justice minister all for today
6:09 pm
before our don speech he said if the prosecutor finds a strong evidence or is strongly suspect. generals in a whole months in the murder case they can fill out an invitation and ask for saudi authorities for his expectation to be tried in turkey by a courtroom ok senator thanks for the latest from. she joins us from washington d.c. donald trump taking a tougher line no i'm saying he'll leave the response to congress is that satisfying those who are calling for action. is certainly will be an important first step there's no question that much of just like the world the united states is focused and fixated on the story but now the shift from focus goes from the white house to the u.s. congress the only problem is that well the congress seems to be ready and willing in a bipartisan nature on that the problem is we have a u.s.
6:10 pm
election a congressional elections taking place in less than two weeks and that is going to grind this process at the legislative level to almost a halt until after those november sixth elections so well the u.s. congress and we've seen many members including lindsey graham who's been very vocal on this saying that the u.s. congress is ready to act he in fact said as he tweeted right after the president spoke saying that is there is sort of a tough and appropriate response to this that is necessary to respond to this barbaric act the world is watching and the united states will send a clear message it may take some time in order to do that. pose he's been in turkey and is due back in the u.s. and to meet later today as you like to be bringing new intelligence. absolutely but it won't just be a hassle coming from turkey the cia chief it will also be other intelligence officials we know that have perhaps traveled with her there are also others the president has intimated that went to saudi arabia so it's
6:11 pm
a collective group of people that is returning to the white house on the public schedule there is no listing of that meeting it may be taking place at a part of the white house campus not directly inside the white house we're not clear on those details but what we are clear on is that the president wants to see more facts not only have we had the congressional level action so far in terms of the trigger of the global magnitsky act that's action that can impose sanctions if human rights have been violated but we've also now seen these visas of the twenty one suspects that have been revoked by the trumpet ministration but still there is more that can be done and that is sort of what's happening at this point the president saying that at the same time well there is action that is needed he has you should note continually defended the shared strategic interests of the united states and saudi arabia that they have consistently ministration defended that
6:12 pm
strong partnership so watch for future actions potentially be measured at the same time we have seen the strongest condemnation yet from this white house and i think it's pretty clear what the secretary of state said might pompei of what he spoke on tuesday afternoon he said in fact that these penalties will not be the last word on this matter from the united states so we want to watch closely complete for the moment thanks very much joining us now here in studio is sultan baraka of the sums of conflicts and humanitarian studies here in doha institute good to have you with us so trump does is taking a tough line you don't seem to be implicating the crown prince one had been solved in the murder of jamal khashoggi but is he going to turn his back on this key u.s. ally. well i think ultimately his allegiance is going to be to the business deals that he thinks has struck with the saudi arabia and the hundreds of thousands of jobs that he keeps claiming is in the process of creating in the united states now
6:13 pm
if that requires him to sacrifice an individual i think you probably do and you have to remember that in the united states second files before mohamed bin i no one in their own family worked as close with the united states as mohammed bin nayef and when it came to measuring their interest and weighing their interests and who should what should they do next they went along with the reforms and with the new structure in saudi arabia and decided to let go of ahmed and i know that's something on the u.s. side but on the saudi side of they willing to sacrifice. well within the saudi side there are two views locally of course and. alienated quite a lot of groups including the religious institution when he attacked the. royal family many members of their own family have been pushed aside the whole episode of the ritz carlton etc so he's attacked the two most important institutions for
6:14 pm
stability in saudi arabia and having said that is he has a great support amongst the young those who feel that saudi needed reform and are supporting his position so within saudi arabia i think it's going to be a mixed position but the internationally and regionally obviously he also got himself into situations that are extremely difficult to do with. the relationship with qatar and the mining of the whole g.c.c. arrangement. conflict or crisis with germany canada so unfortunately over the last two years has not been treading carefully and banking on on a day. for a day like this banking relationships so i do on his speech yes it is made a speech to parliament yesterday he gave the saudis more time to respond he gave him some room there but if the saudis don't respond in a way that the world deems appropriate want to take it to you next well my view is
6:15 pm
that turkey is holding two types of evidence there is the criminal evidence that they've gathered when they entered the consulate and you know the car they found the tapes the cameras. close to t.v. cameras that's one type the other which i think is much more difficult to admit to is the fact that they obviously have been dropping on the consulate and possibly on other saudi and other interests in istanbul for some time and this should not come to us as surprise you have to remember the istanbul us come out of. attempted coup they accused saudi emirates and others of having a hand in this and of course they have also to protect their interest is a very the war in syria the support of the kurds and others so clearly they've been monitoring for some time and this whole story has just really landed in the lab.
6:16 pm
possibly unexpected but that is the really holding it's whatever they've heard taking place inside the consulate and if we were to go back in over the last few days they did let go some of that information and they did inform and i think this is we're trying to put pressure on saudi arabia to admit that there was a murder in the hope that there will be some kind of soft landing for this to come to me quite happen like that they did it the moment thanks very much and his servant. still ahead head on al-jazeera the u.s. wants the so-called migrant count on from central america but it won't allow it across the border under any circumstances. i'm andrew thomas in new delhi where the government is under pressure to take action against what's at stake new spread by the misting service is being held responsible for a string of horrific murders but how much blame should the social media companies
6:17 pm
shoulder. hello again well here across northern part of asia we are watching some rain showers making their way out of japan finally but we're going to be watching very carefully this next system that is coming in off among golyer so right now you see that area of low pressure it's going to be very cold take a look the forecast map because with the system temperatures are not going to get out of the minus digits for luma tar and we are going to be seeing some snow across the region so here on thursday with that front we will be picking up some clouds but as that front starts to make its way more towards the east then we are going to be picking up some rain showers as well as it makes its way towards the korean peninsula and some of those rain showers for pyongyang could be quite heavy at times well here across parts of china not looking too bad for the coast but we do
6:18 pm
have a lot of line of clouds here across the central areas that is going to stay like that over the next few days maybe even getting a little bit more intense as we go towards friday but for hong kong you stay out of that you stay on the warm side of that front where the temps are there of thirty degrees on the cool side shanghai is going to be cloudy with a temperature of twenty three and then down here towards parts of jakarta we are seeing the clouds and the rain showers just to the north so mostly cloudy a little bit more humid than average thirty four degrees few there up towards manila it is going to be a rainy day possibly as we go towards the weekend with a temperature of thirty two. the cricket world is not about match fixing i mean you have to think why would he give me a got the guest then he didn't bring to me and it's there i get a big big bang bang bang and al jazeera is investigative unit reveals explosive new evidence documentary confirms that my my now is a very hard profile figure in match fixing an international cricket team into this

6:20 pm
big trouble because of twenty one suspects. saudi officials have stopped turkish police from searching a well at the end. to make a speech in the coming hours as an investment conference in riyadh fewer business leaders than expected will hear it doesn't state away because of. the ethical questions are being asked in california high tech companies have benefited from billions of dollars worth of saudi investment in silicon valley 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
6:21 pm
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 ons investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green ale well founder steve case and guber c.e.o. darren shockey who said he was very troubled by reports of cars show g.'s death khosrowshahi 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
6:22 pm
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 tested 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 san carlos california seven thousand people escaping poverty and violence in three central american countries on defying donald trump by continuing their march towards the u.s. border they're currently heading north through mexico u.s. secretary of state my own payors says the caravan poses a danger and is warning the migrants to turn back when any one thousand seven hundred migrants who left the caravan have already applied for refugee status in mexico john holeman is with those who are still on the road in southern mexico. 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 and wash themselves and just basically to relax
