and hear their story on and talk to al jazeera. a vigil for jamal has showed saudi prosecutors say they're investigating evidence that his murder was premeditated and as a cia director briefs president trample what she knows of the turkish investigation or lies are on his next move. hello i'm barbara sarah this is al jazeera live from london also coming up on the program more parcel bombs found in the u.s. from planes what he calls fake news for creating anger in society. and ethiopia appoints its first female president in one of the world's few gender

balanced cabinets. saudi arabia's attorney general's office says it's looking into the possibility that killing was a premeditated murder in the light of information received from a joint investigation with turkey saudi arabia initially said has shoji walked out of its consulate in istanbul after visiting the building on october the second it later insisted ashaji is that there had been accidental after the journalists got into a fistfight with cia director gina haskell is briefing the u.s. president on her findings after spending two days in turkey u.s. media say has full heard a recording of a show g.'s killing inside the consulate meanwhile a vigil has been held for a short g outside the saudi consulate in istanbul friends and colleagues are demanding answers to his killing. on this occasion and from this place where

the spirit of german help has been lost we clearly state that we do not and will not accept compromises in the case of his murder and that we will not keep silent on any attempt to evade any criminal or criminal from accountability and punishment. we would follow only did the means to achieve full justice food demand well just right for joins me live now from outside the saudi consulate in istanbul and so a tell us a little bit more about the vigil and just overall what it's looking like for the investigation right now. yeah this visual not only being held in istanbul but having spoken to some of the people involved in it here they're saying that there are similar vigils happening simultaneously in london new york and paris certainly people participating here including activists

journalists a number of friends of jamal khashoggi interestedly as well representatives from foreign countries we understand a former minister minister from the egyptian government here as well during emphasizing again the kind of problems that journalists face right the way across the region with respect to the investigation all eyes have been on the consul general is home today expecting this team of investigators to come and have a closer look at the well in the garden there we spoke to people in the prosecutor's office he who said that permits had been granted or agreement had been given by the saudi side to allow access into that area into that gollum's of c. the well buyouts they were still dragging their feet so the sole sage in the prosecutor's office that was still not allowing people in we understand the well

a little sample was taken from the well during the first investigation a week ago by the joint. and saudi but they very interesting very interested in getting to the bottom of this well which we've been told is around more than twenty twenty meters deep apparently the water level is around six meters down that's where that samples been taken from but yeah. it's been twenty four hours now and still no access given for this team to go and still really investigate what they say could well be a very important piece of piece of evidence and charles just some of the point to put to you we've heard that there are reports that jamal ashaji son has actually left saudi arabia not just a few days ago was demolition of the sun i think we can see the picture right now there of meeting both king solomon and the crown prince mohammed bin some and then was the famous shot as well of there it is of ashaji son actually shaking hands

with mohamed bin some and the man that you know many presume actually ordered his father's murder now we hear that he has actually left saudi arabia's got a deal u.s. saudi citizenship but what else do we know. we know very little else than that at this stage what we do know though is that so law that's his eldest son who you see in that photograph shaking the hands of king solomon and the crown prince was actually baron too from leaving the country had been banned by the saudi authorities from leaving the country for at least a few months. and that photograph as you say calls an absolute outcry certainly among the world's media and on social media it went viral lots of people saying how inappropriate it see and certainly off to the saudis had to admit seat off the so long that so laws jamal khashoggi was killed in the cold

silage here but also because it had taken them so long to actually offer any calm tone and seize and as you say it was understood salone had very little choice but to participate in that photo shoot but what's also interesting is if you speak to representatives of organizations pushing for greater media freedom around the world people who know about saudi arabia they say that it's often the case that the saudis perceive as dissidents or journalists living in foreign countries that they want to return to saudi arabia these these people in these media circles say it's not on call and it's for the dissidents to be threatened in the countries that they hide again. by part by saying look if you don't come back to saudi arabia with us then pressure will be put on your families back home and as. solo's story seems to indicate that's very much the case. reportedly not being

allowed until today to leave saudi arabia certainly for the last few months transit reports out also that satellite on his way to one. will try to get more details. over the course of the next few hours from the moment charles stratford outside the saudi consulate in istanbul thank you go live now to the white house speak to our correspondent there kimberly how good it can really we know that the cia director gina house will spend a couple of days in turkey and she is now briefing president trump on what she found and crucially apparently what she heard what are we expecting from this meeting between trump and you know housefull. well certainly we're expecting some detailed information to be provided to the president something that he has been requesting for some time he did tell reporters in the last week that he had requested of turkish officials normally the audio but as well video intelligence that was not forthcoming and that is when presumably the president made the

decision to send his cia director to turkey in a houseful we believe she is still on the campus potentially briefing the president as we speak and certainly her take of what she heard there because it is being reported in the u.s. media that in fact she did hear the audio recording of not only the interrogation but also murder of. she will be sending that information to the president conveying her insights given the fact that she is it has a partnership that existed prior to this case with turkish officials we know from declassified cia information that in fact she not only speaks the language but has been stationed in turkey at least twice so this is important for the president because he is under a lot of pressure to react to this he has already issued punitive action in the form of the revoking of twenty one visas of saudi nationals but there is tremendous pressure from the u.s. congress to do even more so given that the cia director has listen to this audio we

are told that it is compelling this is what she is sharing with the president is so that he can decide on how to move forward given the fact that the u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoa said this is not the last word from the united states and i mean you mentioned pressure from congress and obviously a lot of pressure from public opinion as well and all of this a few weeks away from the midterms that would open talking about the potentially could be damaging or not we'll see the president trump how much of an impact of any is all of this having potentially on on the campaigning or you know what might be the result of that election. there's no question that it has put a spotlight on this white house in terms of reaction but more so what i think it's doing is stunting the timeline in terms of how this case moves forward given the fact the u.s. congress is in recess most of members of congress are campaigning either for themselves for reelection or campaigning on behalf of

a colleague so what we might typically see knowing that the hospital the cia director has just been to turkey is that she may have been typically summoned by the house or senate intelligence committees to testify unlikely would be public likely private or closed door sessions because this is something that is often preceded congressional action we know that there is a push for members of congress to hold arms sales to question whether or not there should still be u.s. support for the saudi led effort the coalition in that conflict in yemen so these are the kinds of things that it would want to hear typically but none of that is happening because of those congressional elections that are expected to take place well are scheduled to take place on november sixth so what we have right now is a white house that is currently briefed are being briefed by the cia director and there is this push from congress for more but whether congress itself will independently act it's unlikely to see that happening in the short term we how can we believe his from the white house can really sink you. now at least five children

have been killed and sixteen others are missing after flash floods in jordan the jordanian civil the friend says it happened along a region of the sea the victims were being picked making way near the water when it happened will bring you more of that news as we get it here on al-jazeera. police in the u.s. are investigating more suspicious packages addressed a high profile critics of president donald trump one package was addressed to the actor robert de niro one of his properties in new york two other parcels were sent to former u.s. vice president joe biden police say they are similar to mail bombs the liver to leading democrats and the c.n.n. offices in new york over the last few days. joins us live now from washington d.c. as so we're getting more news you know worrying news of these packages being delivered obviously to people that have criticized have been critical were competition for donald trump what's the president himself at the say well the

president first said let's you know you know we can't have this kind of political violence even talk to this rally it was nice he was being it didn't last long he's tweeting statement basically blaming the american media saying that is why people are so angry again saying that the mainstream media the media needs to clean up its act so why the tweet well obviously everyone who's been targeted is pretty much a list of the who's who of who's criticized president donald trump so what you're seeing is some people especially democrats saying this is what happens when you incite the base when you target people specifically as president the united states and you encourage violence this is going to be the next step now what you're seeing is some republicans pushing back and say no this is probably a democrat it's a false flag they're trying to distract because the midterms are coming up in about two weeks time so even this what would seem to be a pretty large scale terrorist domestic terrorist act is become

a partisan issue in large part because the president is making it one what about the investigation itself though are the you know is anyone closer to finding out who will be the one person or or if he may be behind these packages. you know when you do anything in the mail it's usually pretty easy to get caught especially when you have this number of packages i mean let's not forget about the forensic science of it pretty much every time there's been something of this magnitude the person is caught in a fairly short order obviously you have to go to the post office if you want to put things in the mail and there's cameras there and if you have your fingerprints on tape they're going to find that so it's probably not going to take the authorities very long because they have so much evidence it's just a question probably likely a matter of days at least if history repeats itself it usually pretty quickly found out. that from patty thank you. you're watching our rest still to come on the

program donald trump vows to send troops to the mexican border as thousands of central american migrants march in hope of entering the u.s. the man known as russia's most famous prisoner is awarded the european union's top human rights prize. sunshine into the southeast of china at the moment both eastley winds pushing through now so that does bring rather more the way of clearing out and write a little more. down to the southwest of china over towards the east coast yeah we have got some wet weather in place but about thirty celsius in hong kong three or four degrees about the seasonal average we're going up to thirty one in taipei further south of sunshine showers of course always on the cards are mostly some

showers too just making their way out to thailand southern parts of the big goal northeasterly winds here as well now the monsoon on the northeast the monsoon the dry monsoon all of the set again across south asia so that's pushing the wetter weather once again down. to the south of india and to tom not the weather that's into sri lanka as per usual further north it is generally dry and seem to be a wall around the sea temperatures in that quarter of thirty three celsius similar value to four karate thirty one there in new delhi meanwhile for the west a good deal of dry weather now across much of the arabian peninsula but this in places of plowed into central falls of saudi arabia even here in kata we much just catch one or two showers as we go through saturday. stories of life. and inspiration.

a series of short documentaries from around the wilds. that celebrate the human spirit against the odds coming from a simple. al-jazeera selects changemaker this. reminder of our top story saudi arabia's attorney general's office looking into the possibility. was a premeditated murder. friends and colleagues of

a. human rights watch says. after having. met with. five children. at the time. saudi arabia's leaders say that they've signed fifty six billion dollars worth of deals at an investment conference in the capital dozens of business leaders and politicians stayed away because of the killing. but others did make the journey tempted by potential contracts and profits reports. by the time. a day after it

started saudi arabia. was added by the time. the murder of. the conference but it's not stopped business being. also missing from the summit was. senior politicians from mainly western countries who withdrew his outrage over his murder group but there were plenty of others who did attend perhaps not as easily able to resist the financial clout of the world's biggest oil producer there were government delegations from china russia and african and middle eastern countries the conference has been salman's brainchild

created to draw investment and diversification into an oil dependent economy that needs to find new ways to provide millions of jobs and it's those opportunities that attendees couldn't ignore you can't take away decades of collaboration. effect of collaboration. over one incident of course or sconce of quinces for actions and then and then hopefully you can get past those actions the prophet has told a multi-billion dollar plans into the pockets of red sea tourist is in saudi arabia says it also wants to offer privatization opportunities in education health care and desalination for mohammed bin salman it was almost business as usual bernard smith al-jazeera the u.s. military has received a request from the department of homeland security to deploy troops on the us mexico border president has vowed to stop thousands of central american migrants

who are marching towards the united states a car in play near the mexican town of my prosthetic when they arrive they may apply for asylum as many say that they're fleeing gang violence or corruption to go john home and now is live for us in the town of muppets that bake in mexico a you have been traveling with this convoy for a few days now tell us a little bit about where you are and what the atmosphere is like there. they were just a little bit further on now from the past to pay commit time cooper he happened which is even more of a mouthful and you can see over this side really this is been happening all the way along in mexico volunteers locals coming out with sandwiches and water ready to give to the migrants just one of the poorest states in mexico but there hasn't been a shortage of people trying to help out you can see on the other side here just people resting for now by the side of the road they're taking a break a lot of the people here have come all the way from honduras this is been

a really long trick but the dynamic of the caravan seems to change over the last couple of days we seeing now a lot more people catching rides from passing cars paying a couple of dollars to get a micro buses and that's meaning that instead of the pictures of this river of people walking we're seeing people moving a lot faster now covering double the distance really we still estimate that they're going to take a couple of weeks is probably going to be more like a month than a month and a half to get to the u.s. border. and john speaking of that border we understand that donald trump has vowed to stop central american migrants and that the u.s. military has received a request actually deploying troops to that border what else do we know. well we know that if the troops are deployed to that border then they're just going to be doing administrative tasks and logistics tossin that's because they need approval from congress before they could actually start arresting and detaining

civilians but president trump from the start of this has used really strong rhetoric against these people saying that those middle easterners. probably hinting at terrorists within their mates that there's a lot of people from the m.s. thirteen from gangs the people that we've talked to we haven't met anyone from the middle east actually a tool within the caravan the people that we've spoken to said it's possible that there are people from gangs mixed in with the people because there are about seven thousand people marching it be very difficult to have known criminals in their midst but they said that the vast majority of people here. people who are suffering in poverty they haven't got enough to live in on their home home from ocean that's from douras and they going to the united states to escape from the poverty and also to try and get away from gangs which charge a lot of them what they call all tax which is basically extortion even the poorest of the poor that's the reason for going to the u.s.

of course president trump has got the midterm elections coming up and there's a sense that he's been talking about the caravan every day and sort of using it as political ammunition in those midterm elections john homa with the latest from southern mexico john thank you. how ethiopia has appointed its first female president sally workers said there was elected by a unanimous vote in parliament just days after members of parliament approved one of the world's few gender balanced cabinets this means that half of his cabinet are now female including the country's first woman defense minister sally work says she'll focus on peace efforts and the fight for women's rights. and so many isolate day to day when i started my work as ethiopian federal democratic president i vow to fulfill my duty faithfully. well is that when chief of the magazine

know the guy and the guidance of the government's activities for in coming years so it's it's not just ceremony and i would say but from her speech to smaller meeting i also gathered that the presidencies of these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say. former french president nicolas sarkozy has lost an appeal against to put him on trial over illegal campaign financing the case known as the big mainly an affair goes back to suppose his reelection twenty twelve he's accused of colluding with a public relations company to this guy's the true cost of his campaign france sets limits on how much candidates can spend on election campaigns. the largest nato war game since the end of the cold war have started in norway troops from thirty one countries have weeks of military exercises ahead of them a month after russian and chinese forces had their largest ever joint drills get
