gruesome executor of saudi giannone 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 i. think in my did 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 going to the 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

saudis are looking at whether hush killing was premeditated the attorney general's office says it is investigating after information from a joint pro with turkey last week riyadh blamed rogue elements for killing for shockey just after he walked into its consulate in istanbul more than three weeks ago charles trafford has more from mr wearing traditional saudi dress a homage been salma 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 of their mail 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
7:05 am
consulate in istanbul as 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
7:06 am
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 muhammad bin so 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 said on tuesday that evidence gathered by the turkish side showed was the victim of a savage murder. so more pressure from turkey raising the question again what more evidence to the turks have from
7:07 am
a reported order recording made inside the consulate on the day the khashoggi was killed. that al-jazeera istanbul. because solar is live for us now from turkey's capital ankara sosina what is the latest we're hearing there was much of it there is not much development in damascus shipped its case because his body has not been found yet so this is the binding this is the most important thing for this case to evolve and develop as long as to which of his body is not found and as long as an autopsy is not done over his body it will be impossible for the prosecutors to file an indictment and. let let the people be tried are there in turkey or in saudi arabia but we see that the saudis have been trying to gain time since the beginning and even yesterday turkey's foreign minister
7:08 am
stated in a press conference that that that it is taking longer time than expected but it is a typical situation since this incident happened because even during the police searches prosecutors searches we have a witness that the saudis side. immediately all the time just keep kept the turkish officials busy for instance on the day that the consul general flett from turkey back to riyadh to his country it was the day that the police would do search in the consul general's residence and when we spoke to the officers in this stumble they were telling us that the saudis who in the consulate were not even picking up the phones of the turkish offical so the process on the saudis side is really interesting and. no one can no one can assure that there is a fair. jurisdiction there is
7:09 am
a fair trial over there but what turkey. for the last couple of days is that this murder was committed in sight cause general consulate of saudi arabia that's a saudi territory that's ok but it's still inside turkey that's why those people should be tried and true according to the turkish well this is what turkey's foreign minister said and when we asked whether this case should be carried out to international criminal court he said we don't have such an intention yet but if there is a demand from the international public international community or the n.g.o.s we would do our best to assist off course it everything is a process and a long progress in order to carry out this case through international criminal court again you need to have jamal just body and as long as we don't have damascus shook his bed it buddy whatever all global politicians say or the prosecutors try to do it will be difficult to come to an end hasn't. seen him because so.

meeting with his director of the cia he's been talking about this for days saying that he needs to get the information in person to be able to take a decision on what to do next but there was only a single line statement coming from the white house confirming just that the meeting had taken place more information came from the state department saying that the secretary of state might pompei o also took part in the discussions so it would appear president trump now has the information that he has been asking for now we wait to see what decision is taken on what the trumpet ministration does next. a police have evacuated the time warner center in new york for a second day after reports of another suspicious package sent to the building. as they more packages were sent to high profile critics of president donald trump one of them was addressed to act to robert de niro's to all the possum's was sent to

7:15 am
will continue to give us some heavy downpours as we head through the next couple of days the tail end of that rain is edging its way towards but i think here in doha we should stay dry thirty four degrees will be our maximum temperature must get not quite the whole we're up at around thirty two and still are only at thirty one for the southwestern parts they could be a bit more in the way of cloud here and that could just squeeze out the old shower but i think even here it will be fine and dry down towards the southern parts of africa and for many of us here it's fine and dry to be revoked should have a pleasant day up around twenty seven degrees the capetown will be at around twenty six so only really in the fall northern parts of iowa there's anything in the way of wet weather that's just trickling its way through. outwards over parts of angola one or two of those showers could turn out to be rather heavy but i think they should be the exception rather than the rule so more of us seeing some dry conditions as well that can gradually breaks up as we head through saturday and the most of us should have a fine day. the weather sponsored by qatar race. i

opened relative schools hopeful. might reveal the thanks of those still missing the challenge dallas al-jazeera. donald trump is expected to order eight hundred more u.s. troops to the border with mexico where thousands of migrants are heading they started to walk to the u.s. from honduras to escape poverty and gang violence trump is vowing to stop the migrant caravan which he's called a national emergency john holman reports from chapel where he's been following the migrant cab. a slow moving stream of around four thousand five hundred people heading to the u.s. border it's unlikely they'll get there for another month or more. but then matson these pictures of been a dominant factor in the run up to the u.s. midterm elections that's why many in the u.s. from the top down have speculated on who's behind the caravan why it's coming now. president hernandez upon the earth. told me that the caravan of now making its way
7:21 am
through mexico headed for the southern border was organized by leftist organizations and financed. by venezuela. and we. as as we've said and the democrats made and the democrats. they offered no proof those in the caravan like tanya and his sister told us they weren't even aware of the u.s. elections yet my mother load them with them when migrating because of a lack of jobs because of the criminals not because of presidents or politics or anything like that the coming for a better future for us and our children. ah they say the caravan began with subgroups between those planning to head north when the news spread to home during t.v. others like yearly and his friends decided to join in it but the political know that just yet i realize because of a report on the t.v. the carbon is already gone ahead but just fifty or so people and it got bigger and
7:22 am
bigger city came after it. but the home during government claims this man was the mastermind behind. that former position congressman and long term migrant activist twenty's he told us all he did was support the caravan on facebook conspiracy theories aren't necessary in this case he said the reality is simpler. it's not trump that organized this nor the democrats and not venezuela either it's hunger and poverty. that long term problem is just one of many factors behind the movement a previous caravan earlier this year made people see the when they travel together they were safer from gangs and also migration authorities here in mexico it also taught them that that way they didn't have to pay out fountains of dollars to people smugglers when you add all of that to the poverty violence and political dissatisfaction that many experienced back in honduras it's a powerful incentive to get out and to get out together. that could explain why

this caravan is not the only one on the road to the u.s. and others are ready following hot in its heels john homan i was in a shop us one of the men who founded the taliban has been released from a prison in pakistan more lobdell than any but our daughter was arrested in two thousand and ten by a team from pakistan's intelligence agency and the cia he was released last week a few days after a u.s. official held talks with taliban leaders in qatar discussions began during the summer in an effort to end the seventeen year war in afghanistan japan's prime minister shinzo is in beijing for talks with china's president xi jinping he's also met premier league it is the first stand alone visit by a japanese leader in seven years analysts say it could be a warming of relations between asia's two largest economies agent brown has more from beijing. the leaders of asia's two largest economies have agreed to basically
7:24 am
put their differences aside to sit down and talk to one another as opposed to threatening each other which is what was happening not so long ago i think what has changed things what has changed the dynamic in the relationship is the election of president donald trump because both tokyo and beijing have been feeling the heat from the white house president from pursue also been threatening japan over its trade practices and of course tokyo is worried that president trump's america first policy could lead to a scaling back of the u.s. military presence in asia and i think the message from china's leaders to shinzo are b. is going to be this you know china can be a stable alternative to the united states already the value of trade between these two countries stands at three hundred billion dollars and of course china remains japan's most important trading partner and you know shinzo r.b.a.
