8:03 pm
a time when you know when the trains actually enjoys them but also mom i am sure the day that there was a kind of warning that we were there can can change quickly and and suddenly and i have no idea why the school didn't listen to their. pupils to this trip but anyway you know this is the time when with her can be we're back into the. sun but ari on the line from amman with the latest on those flash floods thank you so much for bringing us up but i will talk to again my size. the latest on the jamal khashoggi case now and his eldest son has been allowed to leave saudi arabia just as the public prosecutor in riyadh investigating his father's killing is calling it a case of premeditated murder that is based on information received from turkish
8:04 pm
investigators he is now on his way to the united states he has dual nationality so he can go there but he's been banned from traveling abroad since his father left to live in exile last year it was after he criticized the crown prince mohammed bin salmon and his father king salmon off the bay consultants condolences to. that photograph which we saw on tuesday now vigils also been held outside the saudi consulate in istanbul where he was killed three weeks ago friends and colleagues are demanding answers as to who is responsible and importantly where his body is hidden the saudis of given various accounts including that he died accidentally during a struggle on this occasion and from this place where the spirit. we clearly state that we do not and will not accept compromises in the case of his murder and that we will not silence any attempt to evade any
8:05 pm
criminal from accountability and. we will follow all legitimate means to achieve justice food you mad. and also the cia chief geno housefull who has spent the past two days in turkey has flown home to brief president donald trump and the european parliament has joined members of the u.s. congress in calling for a stop to arms sales to saudi arabia if it is found to be responsible for the killing ok in a moment we will be at the white house with kimberly how gets to talk about that cia director meeting with donald trump with starting as ever with child stratford in istanbul charles the latest on the investigation from you. well there has been a lot of focus kemal on the investigating of this well in the garden of the consul general's home certainly a lot of focus of the last twenty four hours or so we spoke to people in the prosecutor's office today who said that one of the reasons the reason why the
8:06 pm
proper investigation all of this will have gone fool it was because despite there being some sort of agreement all full punnets full of the to investigative team to go inside the premises this source telling us that the saudi side was still holding things up we know that a solid pool of water was taken from this well during the first investigation of the consul general's premises so we could go but investigate is a keen to have a son or a look at this well because that will solve it was taken from about six meters down where where the water level lays but the well itself is over twenty meters deep but they want to get to the bottom of this well and start really investigate it meanwhile more pressure from the to the site seemingly the turkish foreign minister speaking earlier today demanding that. the saudis fully cooperate in this investigation and also some very poignant questions as well why it was eighteen why
8:07 pm
were these eighteen men arrested in saudi arabia again demanding to know whether the saudis know where this body is where g.'s body is and also implying that it's not completely out of the question that there could be in the future some sort of international investigation involved let's listen to what he says a much stronger will start at the market there was no indication that we will escalate this to the international court at this time but if it is escalated there is no doubt that turkey would share any information we have of us. as you say yes this vigil has been held here for jamal khashoggi this evening a number of people spoke your individual friends journalists activists human rights defenders one man in fact wearing the traditional saudi dress the jollibee
8:08 pm
a wearing a coup shows the mosque with these hands with rage delisle in it i mean very old vs what message that is being conveyed but yeah very much stressing a demond for full accountability for this crime the people responsible for it to be brought to justice and basically calling out for greater press freedom across the middle east and including here in turkey that would turkish a number of to politicians here but interestingly as well former politicians from both egypt and tunisia we understand also and they were vigils similar vigils held civil taney asli we were told in paris london and new york another example of just how grave this this crisis has become and how much attention it is receiving the world over thank you for that update it's child strength but outside the consulate if found both and now over to washington d.c.
8:09 pm
kimberly how could any timeline about gina hospitals a conversation with donald trump today and when if we will hear about it. well there is a public event for the president happening at eight hundred g.m.t. it is possible that he could talk about this if asked by reporters there's no guarantee with this president he tends to speak when he feels like it so that certainly would be our next opportunity where we would see him in front of the cameras as he has been very forthcoming about this case because he's been very frustrated up to this point one of the reasons that he held this briefing earlier today with gina housefull his cia director another reason that he sent her to turkey because he requested both video as well as audio intelligence from turkish officials that apparently was not forthcoming and that resulted in her heading over to turkey in order to meet with counterparts there she has an established relationship because we know from declassified intelligence information provided by
8:10 pm
the cia not only does she speak the language but she has been stationed there twice so it is this that we she is presumably briefing the president on the fact that she did have widely being reported here in the united states she had access to the audio intelligence namely hearing not only the interrogation. but potentially also as has been leaked to the media his murder this is the detail that the president is looking for he believes the explanations up to this point have been he says that he believes there has been some lying that there has been some deception while he says that he still believes very strongly in the saudi united states relationship it is certainly one that has come under scrutiny particularly by members of congress and typically when we've had an intelligence briefing such as the one involving the cia director here at the white house you would also likely see that happening on capitol hill with the house with the senate intelligence committees but given the fact that we are approaching a u.s.
8:11 pm
election some twelve days from now congress is not in session right now they are out campaigning for the most part so we are not seeing that happen but at the same time there is still a push kamau force. some sort of punitive action beyond what we've seen so far and that is the revoking of twenty one saudi nationals visas here in the united states there is a push for sanctions at the highest level of the saudi government because as the secretary of state my pump a.o. said earlier this week he said this is not the last word from the united states right we run up to date with news from the united states with kimberly how could the white house thanks campbell. still ahead the year here on al-jazeera a symbol of struggle the european parliament on it's a ukrainian filmmaker imprisoned in russia that and the headlines in amman.
8:12 pm
how i was still going to a lot of disturbed weather across the middle east over the next couple of days to this area a cloud just spilling out of the black sea across a good part of turkey draining its way down into syria lebanon jordan kills they catch wanted to shout the west the weather will make its way for a swiss a broad disguise to come back a bit high cold enough in ankara living making it into double figures nine cells is the top temperature here then on friday afternoon not too bad the eastern side of the med by routes twenty two degrees but you see the cloud and the right it will make its way in see iraq some heavy burst of right there will inevitably be some localized flooding and notice further north possibility some snow just around the caucasus come further south could see a little bit of wet weather around the arabian peninsula as well hopefully not as bad as it was last week but you see this area cloud just lingering around caught see a few spots of rain squeezed out of that as we go on through saturday friday should be largely dry temperatures here at around thirty five celsius just
8:13 pm
a want to see showers just around the gulf of aden as well. on the mozambique channel but for much of southern africa it does look. the temperatures in dublin getting up to thirty two celsius laws of war still in place in harare the threat. that is a perfect formula for authoritarianism and here let me ask you straight up here is the two state solution now that the lights are on back and there's no way it's high up in front which hangs on and which is interact.
8:14 pm
with al-jazeera these are our top stories a rescue operation is underway in jordan where a flash flood has killed at least eleven people though the water in gulf an area near the dead sea about forty children and their teachers were on a picnic. and the son of jamal khashoggi has been allowed to leave saudi arabia as the public prosecutor in riyadh investigates his father's killing as a case of premeditated murder that is based on information received from turkish investigators sallah met the crown prince mohammed bin sama on tuesday. to other news and ethiopia has a new president and for the first time it's a woman. and so i sat day to day when i
8:15 pm
stopped my work as ethiopian federal democratic president i found to fulfill my duty as faithfully. but i worked out there were quite monocular to show my work through the resigned on wednesday daughter takes office as part of a wider reshuffle by the prime minister made. the new ethiopian president has a long history in diplomacy and advocacy she served as ethiopia's ambassador to france and and worked at the top level in the country's ministry of foreign affairs she was also the permanent representative to the united nations peace building office in central african republic before moving to become director general of the organization's regional base in nairobi the sixty eight year old brings three decades of top level diplomatic experience to the role most recently she was appointed by the united nations secretary general antonio to be his key link to the african union the thoughts who is the editor in chief of the at
8:16 pm
a standard she told us even though the role is largely ceremonial the president still has potential to lead reform. ambassadors how they work has. very extensive experience in being a diplomat and serving her country as a diplomat first and also moving into a separate post as was in the united nations. her last one was in nairobi and i know her last one the one that she just resigned from was the representative of the u.n. secretary general to the african union so she was based in ethiopia but she has had more than thirty years of experience as a. diplomat in the past. you know many say it's largely ceremonial by the course of two should it is also easy to depict it as a ceremonial but it's important to rick recognize that it is the prisoner shana's office that motion every fiscal year two boys houses the opera in the rural houses
8:17 pm
. you know the guy 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 this morning i also gathered that the presidency of these can become what you make of it the determination in her speech is quite quite impressive i would say. the saudi immorality the coalition in yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a factory doctor say twenty one people were killed in wednesday night's a night attack dogs jabari has marked. the latest victims of the war in yemen workers at a vegetable packing factory in the town of beit. of i mean this is where they wash the vegetables this is where they were washing the okra okra for god's sake. so they can sell it in the markets there just workers. the saudi m a r t led coalition
8:18 pm
had sent reinforcements tanks and armored vehicles to the port city of a data before wednesday night's attack. pro-government forces have been trying to recapture the city from who's the rebels since a renewed offensive in september. doctors and people who live in the area say they don't know what the intended target was but it's not uncommon for coalition warplanes to hit civilian targets some images too gruesome to show a child once again among the victims and of the one. this man survived bloodied but shocked by what happened when the then and now we were cleaning dirt off the okra batch and then the plane above us struck we're only doing our job. since the war began in two thousand and fifteen coalition forces have hit wedding parties funerals residential homes hospitals and a school bus they often blame who's the rebels accusing them of using civilians as human shields as international pressure grows for an end to the war the casualty
8:19 pm
figures continue to rise dorsetshire bari al jazeera police in the united states are investigating more suspicious packages addressed a high profile critics of president donald trump one of them addressed to the actor robert de niro one of his properties to other powerful center former u.s. vice president joe biden they say they are similar to the obama's delivered to leading democrats and the c.n.n. offices in new york over the last few days let's check in with erica hill in washington patty we'll deal with some of the political side of things with donald trump in a moment but first just bring us up to date with these latest would be bomb packages today. well investigators are warning that it's likely that there are more bombs that have yet to be discovered so far we're talking about ten devices to as you mentioned just a founded delaware addressed to former vice president joe biden one to robert de niro the famed actor one of his businesses in new york city and they tried back in
8:20 pm
neighborhood. obviously investigators are saying what do all of these people have in common from barack obama to hillary clinton to eric holder to maxine waters to george soros these are all people that the president has targeted with his rhetoric calling them out personally saying you know that they're evil so the big debate now in washington really across the country is is this basically a result of that of the president's rhetoric of people of perhaps one of his supporters basically carrying out his. carried out after he's made these threats now of them of course the white house is pushing back on that and a lot of his supporters are on t.v. or actually saying that they think this is a democrat trying to skew the midterm elections that are less than two weeks away and this may well let's deal with the presidential reaction president trump on wednesday patti he did condemn the attacks is despicable but been there he's been on twitter of course today and says there's a very big part of the anger we see today in our society is caused by the purposely
8:21 pm
false and inaccurate reporting of the mainstream media that i refer to as fake news it's gotten so bad and hateful that it's beyond description mainstream media must clean up its act so he changes his tune pretty quickly patty and then gets rebuked on twitter as well. exactly and i think it's important to point out that the news is not fake the mainstream media does not make up stories they basically report on the president and he has been shown to lie pretty much on a daily basis and they point that out and he doesn't like it so one of the people who is often targeting the president is john brennan former cia director under president barack obama he was actually the subject of one of those bombs except it was mailed to c.n.n. and he's a contributor for at s n b c but he had this response on twitter saying stop blaming others look in the mirror your inflammatory rhetoric insults lies and encouragement of physical violence are just graceful clean up your act they try to act presidential the american people deserve much better by the way your critics
8:22 pm
will not be intimidated into silence so i'm all this is where we are in america were perceived mass assassination attempt of the opposition party is seen as something to start a political debate with both sides blaming the other but extraordinary how do you know him bringing us up to date in washington thank you. lincoln mitchell someone we spoke to earlier political scientists who teaches american democracy cannot be university he says this political climate is being fueled by violent rhetoric. there is a fair amount of blame to go around but i think we shouldn't be we shouldn't air too far on the side of saying everyone is guilty here this is a climate that has been facilitated and nurtured by the far right for many years going back to timothy mcveigh really in one thousand nine hundred three and you know these are these are liberal democratic politicians joe biden was include was targeted today as well in the context of a president who has used very violent rhetoric i mean we forget some people that during the two thousand and sixteen campaign donald trump proposed regarding
8:23 pm
hillary clinton quote second amendment solution is for you or perhaps listeners who aren't familiar with the bill of rights the second amendment is the right to own a weapon so a second amendment solution means killing somebody so this is this has come from trump trump has used you know describe people who disagree with him as enemies of the people so people who support the other party are dangerous hateful crazy anti-american so it's very very hard to look at this and not lay a fair amount of the blame both squarely at the foot of donald trump but also what the other republicans who stood by for years and let this happen when barack obama was president the united states tea party demonstrators lynched him in effigy and most republican legislators said no so that's how you get from here to there. in times expected to order eight hundred additional u.s. troops south of the border with mexico where thousands of migrants heading i started to walk to the united states from under us to escape the teen gang violence rob reynolds reports from that border area. as thousands of migrants from central

8:26 pm
a kind of national emergency trump falsely claims the opposition democratic party encourages migrants and wants completely open borders trump is using it and using vulnerable people to advance his own political agenda u.s. agencies say over the past twelve months most people detained at the border were parents with children or children from legal loan now many more are on their way robert olds al-jazeera at the us mexico border. the largest nato war games since the one nine hundred eighty s. the beginning in no way troops from thirty one countries have weeks of military exercises ahead of them a month after russian and chinese forces did the same topless reports now from trondheim. they've been arriving in norway since august for the biggest exercises nato has wrong since the end of the cold war soldiers from every nato country plus finland and sweden i had to train for the next were called trident juncture the
