the where. when they acted as she acted. out of saudi arabia has blood on its hands she calls the killing of extra judicial execution. and he's out of saudi arabia. just days ago meaning the crown prince is now in the u.s. after a travel ban slipped to. i'm richelle carey this is al jazeera life and also coming up a desperate search for survivors dozens of children are caught in flooding during a school trip in the dead sea. a top actor is now a target more high profile opponents. eventually explosive devices.

and independent u.n. investigators now pointing the finger squarely at the saudi state for the killing of jamal khashoggi special repertory agnes column are says the saudi journalist was the victim of extrajudicial execution she says the people who committed orchestrated the killing were high enough to represent the state and she's also called for an international investigation or diplomatic editor the latest. agnus calmar does a very specific role for the united nations and it covers exactly the crime committed in the saudi consulate in istanbul three weeks ago she is the special rapporteur on extrajudicial summary or arbitrary executions with regard to the gruesome executor and of saudi johnny jamal khashoggi i want to add my voice to

that of my colleague david cave the un special rapporteur on freedom of expression. to call for an international investigation into this murder after she raised the case in the u.n. committee that deals with human rights the saudi representative said she was exceeding her remit right up there with us think they might get a geisha in wish like to denounce this statement by the special rapporteur we call on her not to exceed her mandate on extrajudicial executions are going to do not give us any personal opinion in this official meeting thank you question but she later went further in a news conference the special rapporteur telling me she believes on current evidence saudi arabia as a state is culpable for the murder when where where do we stop the where do we

begin where do we stop our construction of the state they where we preventing the state when they acted as he acted the state cannot twice sheets and for me to throw sponsibility so it doesn't matter whether the crown prince or the king will say they didn't know of course it matters but that does not mean that the saudi state is not responsible. the special rapporteur has added her voice to the growing calls for an international investigation but it's not clear how that would be launched the u.n. secretary general says he will only form a panel to investigate the case if he gets to refer all from one of the main bodies of the un the security council the general assembly or the human rights council or from one of the countries concerned james zira at the united nations now the saudis are looking at whether he's killing was premeditated murder it honey general's office says it's investigating after information received from

a joint probe of turkey last week riyadh blamed rogue elements for killing his hard contest after he walked into its consulate and istanbul on october second trial stratford asked more from istanbul wearing traditional saudi dress on the hama been solved mosque and red dye depicting blood on his hands the message is clear these medium freedom activists human rights defenders turkish politicians and friends of the killed saudi journalist want. on this occasion and from this place where the spirit 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 even silence saudi arabia has described the killing of jamal khashoggi inside its consulate in istanbul is a mistake committed by rogue elements. it is arrested eighteen men reportedly

fifteen of whom were part of a team who the turkish government suspect came to turkey specifically to kill khashoggi they all reportedly left the country the day of the killing both turkey and saudi arabia are conducting their own investigations but turkish government sources told al-jazeera that working together is proving more difficult. the sources said the saudis were denying access to turkish investigators to thaw really inspect a well in the garden of the saudi consul general zone. but the turkish and the saudi investigators have repeatedly stressed the importance of working together in this investigation but it's been two weeks since the joint investigative group was announced and turkey's foreign minister is suggesting that the saudis may not be keeping their word there. today smiley said the process is unfortunately dragged on because there are still questions that need to be answered for example these

eighteen people why were they arrested who gave them orders these questions were already asked by our president but i'm repeating them in order to remind you however jamal khashoggi body has not been found yet where is it they confessed to killing so why they are not saying where is it saudi arabia says it doesn't snow where body is and has denied crown prince mohammed bin cell man ordered the killing but on wednesday for the first time saudi prosecutors indicated that they are now investigating premeditated murder after information received from the turkish investigators. turkey's president received the one sit on tuesday that evidence gathered by the turkey side show was the victim of a savage murder. so more pressure from turkey raising the question again what more evidence to the turks have from a reported already a recording made inside the consulate on the day the crucial she was killed chose

not that al-jazeera istanbul the eldest son of marcus garvey has arrived in the u.s. after being allowed to leave saudi arabia celica charge he met the crown prince and mohamed bin someone on tuesday this photo opportunity here was widely criticized as being insensitive i canot joins us now from washington d.c. so mike what we know about how that came to be that he was able to leave and come to the u.s. well there was clarity from the state department which released a statement welcoming the saudi decision to jamal khashoggi to leave the u.s. had to leave the saudi arabia now what was not known to this date in this was contained in the state department statement was that to my pompei or the secretary of state brought up the issue of the son with saudi leaders during his visit to riyadh he stressed that he wanted the family a to be allowed to leave saudi arabia to return to the united states. is

a dual saudi arabian us citizen it was not known before that the secretary of state played a direct role in this particular matter so the cia director gina has still spent a few days in turkey and gathering information men she is now we understand back and in d.c. and she has. gone to the white house what do we know about what information she has provided. well this is something that president trump has been talking about strongly in recent days saying that he's waiting to get all the information needed before taking a decision on what action of any to take off to his meeting with the director of the cia that was simply a one sentence statement from the white house confirming that the meeting had taken place now with the details of exactly what was discussed there the only thing we do know because state department tells us is that the secretary of state might bump a zero was also present at that meeting but the silence is

a bit strange given that president trump had been so adamant in recent days that this was a critical meeting in terms of the u.s. getting information in terms of his administration getting information to determine how it is going to act in the days ahead mike hanna live in washington thank you mike some countries have already taken steps to sanction saudi arabia germany has stopped saudi weapons deals with chancellor angela merkel joining other european countries and calling for a credible investigation by canadian prime minister justin trudeau says it would be hard to scrap a thirteen billion dollar arms deal with riyadh as he comes under pressure to punish the kingdom on tuesday politicians in spain voted against blocking weapon sales to saudi arabia and on wednesday a bipartisan group of u.s. politicians introduced a bill to ban arms sales to saudi arabia if they cut military cooperation unless american investigators can provide proof the saudi government did not order the shots he's killing us men a senior researcher with the arms and military expenditure program at the stockholm

international peace research institute he says it's unlikely the u.s. will restrict arms sales with the saudis. it's possible that they can get the administration so far to kind of start to implement certain restrictions on arms sales to saudi arabia it is i have are hard to see that this would lead to a very comprehensive ban a real arms embargo some deals may be suspended order. plan deals may not take place right now. items may not be supplied but i'd be very surprised if this would lead to very significant changes in the arms relation between the u.s. and saudi arabia at least in the short term it is just one tool of a whole range of tools which you can apply it's one of the most kind of more straightforward tools which that the one which you would think of first in a situation like this by showing that you're not willing to supply arms and show

that you disagree with the way saudi arabia uses force whether they use it against the show is still one question but then again we also get a broader picture in which i do read he has been involved in the use of force. in yemen and also of course to some extent showing off against qatar so i think this is more like one first step but it wouldn't be sufficient by itself i don't think so place and the last are investigating more suspicious packages addressed to high profile critics of president donald trump one of them was sent to actor robert de niro at one of his properties and new york atika hain has more. another day another shot of a crude bomb being carted away to be deactivated on thursday in the loping pipe bomb similar to this founded a business owned by actor robert de niro two more devices found in delaware addressed to former vice president joe biden the targets are a who's who of the president's critics the very people the president has personally

attacked many say this is proof the president has gone too far 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 let this happen at first donald trump took a conciliatory tone do you see how nice somebody. this is like i do you ever seen that it didn't last long he sent out a tweet just hours later blaming the mainstream media for the anger in the country his spokeswoman followed soon very inappropriate way to disown her people used on your network a number of times not only to describe the president but to many people that work in this administration absolutely day in day out there is a negative tone ninety percent of the media attention around this president is negative despite historic job creation his supporters in the media when even

further claiming both sides are to blame whereas i do not sit there and point to what the other team did to cause this we don't know the perpetrator we don't know the motivation but it was interesting because hillary clinton says we can't we can't step aside from hateful rhetoric and tell democrats have bullied their way she was talking about policy america is a country divided so much so that even an attempt to carry out the mass killing of the country's political opposition is now seen as something to debate petty calling al-jazeera washington. so ahead on al-jazeera as thousands of migrants continue north through mexico the u.s. says it will see an extra troops to its southern border but some americans are offering a helping hand. i have come. to the. south the interest helping address the sensitive and controversial issue and.

thank you we will target disrupt and dismantle their operational and financing that works of which they had plenty they don't have plenty now and we will never forget what they did to our great marines in beirut we will never forget the saudi murari led coalition in yemen says it's investigating an airstrike on a factory a doctor say twenty one paperwork at what or killed in wednesday's attack force the departed has the latest the latest victims of the war in yemen workers at a vegetable packing factory in the town of beit al faqih the vessel by me of i mean this is where they wash the vegetables this is where they were washing the okra okra for garci look. so they can sell it in the markets there just workers.

diego the largest port of entry in the u.s. and driv guerrero directs the immigrants rights group alliance san diego we have a robust shelter network on the other side of the border and we have a robust service network here on this side of the border and so we will be coordinating with our sister going to say sions to provide assistance where needed once the migrants reach the border they can apply for asylum as refugees and are international law under u.s. law anyone who presents themselves at a port of entry and asks for protection. must be provided an opportunity to present their case immigrants rights lawyer elizabeth come out gives migrants in detention free legal representation but most have no attorneys to represent them in a confusing legal process you're talking cultural differences you're talking

linguistic differences you're talking legal concepts even if they understand that they are fleeing for might not be able to articulate in the legal terms that me those requirements advocates with years of experience dealing with central american migrants agree on one they're coming all of them share one thing in common they are fleeing the violence in their home country this is where the us mexico border plunges into the pacific ocean now the migrants are still hundreds of kilometers away from this spot but here on this side of the border president donald trump is using them to score political points ahead of the u.s. midterm election he says many of the migrants are hardened criminals and that they somehow represent a kind of national emergency trump falsely claims the opposition democratic party encourages migrants and wants completely open borders trump is using it of 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 were children from leave alone now many more are on their way robert olds al-jazeera at the us mexico border. and john holmes been following the migrant caravan as it makes its way through mexico towards the u.s. border is that as a separate from the town of a step back and the southeastern state of chiapas. the dynamic has really changed on this caravan of people the been heading so many miles from home duress trying to get to the u.s. border you can see now that instead of those images of a river of people really heading by for now a lot of people are even getting rides from willing members of the mets compile pillay sion all paying about two and a half dollars to get on these small buses they call them here come base and what

that means is that they're about seeing quicker than when they had to get there on foot there are lots of women also lots of children in this current band of more than seven thousand people to covering big distances but we still estimate that it's going to be probably more a month more than a month until they reach the united states of course there's something happening before that time and that's the u.s. mid-term elections and this is now being seen as one of the crucial issues in the election race president trump has certainly been using it to talk about the fact of this a mass migration to the u.s. border and using that really as a sort of a weapon to say that only he can guarantee stronger borders he requested for the military to actually be sent to the us mexico border we understand that's going to be about eight hundred twelve thousand troops they won't be arresting and detaining people they can't do that without permission from congress they'll instead be

helping out more with administrative tasks but it definitely sends a message as this group of people go through mexico they say that they're really unaware of that political dimension for them this is about pure survival they say they're not earning enough even to live in their homeland for many of them that's home douras and they're also having to pay extortion to the many gangs that are really warring in parts of that country for them this is simply about trying to get out of an untenable situation and find a better life. our french president nicholas sarkozy has lost an appeal against an earlier decision to put him on trial over illegal campaign financing the case known as the big million affair goes back to sarkozy sees reelection re-election push in two thousand and twelve he's accused of colluding with the public relations company to disguise the true cost of his campaign france sets limits on how much candidates can spend on electioneering. malta is now the only country in the european union

with a total ban on abortion after ireland change this law earlier this year despite being liberal in many ways the predominantly catholic island in the mediterranean has a hard line on this issue but as a parker reports from the capital the playwright is challenging. you get to pray for the sort of day in rehearsal the cost of a new play called determining. if each is seven characters male and female or based on interviews with people on both sides of the feast abortion debate with similar to. what he. wrote to. the writer hopes theater will help tackle a subject if you are willing to discuss in public this is the most delicate subject and. nothing else and we discuss politics we discuss migration we could talk on the color well where it comes to abortion we simply don't discuss it's it's you know

there are no shades of gray it's black and white. not her real name travel to the u.k. for an abortion following an unplanned pregnancy the only people when you are to try to have my best friends how aware are you of other women in similar situations or who have gone through similar things here in bolton so many. then six. of close friends it's probably much more common than we think paolo was able to borrow money to pay for her abortion others don't have a choice despite the human rights groups say the island's abortion rights are no different to countries where it's legal pretty much in the rest of the world so it's just a matter of it's just because it's such a ball. and that was another issue reason as to why we feel that this needs to be because women should not continue living in shaking and in fear despite multiple

strict stance on a. in recent years there have been a series of seismic social and cultural changes here divorce was legalized in two thousand and eleven rights equivalent to marriage have been given to gay couples and contraception is no longer frowned upon but when it comes to abortion there are firm ethical and moral reservations that have an awful lot to do with tradition and religious belief. ninety eight percent of multis are roman catholics the church prohibits abortion many are devout believers such as the island's former finance minister we see fundamentally a child in the name of a mother as a human being a fully human being the piece to be respected there is something ingrained in the maltese population that value life from the from the real beginning from conception multi societies undergone major change in recent years but abortion remains to blue too sensitive a subject for successive governments to risk losing votes over or even openly

discuss i have come. to the plea this plays attempting to widen the debate beyond the stage. for letter multan. richelle carey these are the headlines on al-jazeera and then the un investigators now pointing the finger at the saudi state for the killing of. special effort or agnes calmar says the saudi journalist was the victim of an extrajudicial execution she says the people behind it were high enough to represent the state. what we do know or read is sufficient to suggest very strongly that to me stone was a victim of an extrajudicial executions and that the saudi arabian government is and p. kit to in one week all of the you know there including because of its reluctance to

undertake an investigation and the beginning of the including according to what took each government is now saying because of its reluctance to provide informations. friends and also activists who have held a vigil demanding answers from saudi arabia the saudi attorney general's office says it's looking into the possibility the killing was a premeditated murder after information received from or joining us today shown with turkey police have evacuated the time warner center in new york city for a second day after reports of another suspicious package being sent to the building earlier more packages were sent to high profile critics of president donald trump one of them was addressed to actor robert de niro was sent to one of his properties in new york two other parcels were sent to former vice president joe biden. at least eighteen people most of them schoolchildren had died after flash floods in jordan and happened near the dead sea were thirty seven children and seven teachers

top us think of this story it's it's. kind. of wow. so this is the explosive yes it's basically a wearable robot.
