eighteen people are killed in floods in jordan most of the victims are students who are on a school trip. and japan's prime minister hails and historic turning point in his country and china is the leaders of asia's two biggest economies for closer ties. saudi journalist she was the victim of an extrajudicial execution that's the assessment of the united nations special rapporteur on summary arbitrary killings she's pointing the finger directly at the top level of the saudi leadership diplomatic it's a james based reports from new york. agnus color mark 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 of the thinking 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 currently 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 presenting the state when they acted as he acted the state cannot twice sheets and for me to throw sponsibility s. so it doesn't matter whether the crown prince or the king 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 call 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 bays out of the united nations the saudi attorney general's office is investigating jamal khashoggi is killing as

a case of premeditated murder after being passed information by turkey channel stratford reports from istanbul wearing traditional saudi dress on the hamad bin solomon 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 us on this occasion and from this place where this. 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 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 thoroughly inspect a well in the garden of the saudi consul general stone. both 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 am 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 so mom 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 choose day 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 a reported odio recording made inside the consulate on the day the khashoggi was killed. that al-jazeera stumble. amnesty international has called for countries to

stop selling weapons to saudi arabia in the wake of his shock she's killing its issued a statement saying the killing of jamal has shocked she falls within a longstanding pattern of repression on peaceful dissent which is only intensified on the mohammed bin solomon or supplying states must suspend arms transfers to saudi arabia and its coalition members peter ways one is a senior research at the stockholm international peace research institute he says it's unlikely that the u.s. will restrict arms sales to the saudis. it's possible that they can get the administration so far to kind of start to implementing certain restrictions on arms sales to saudi arabia it is however hard to see that this would lead to a very comprehensive ban a real arms embargo some deals may be suspended or delayed plan deals may not take place right now. i to this 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 two 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 look at a broader picture in which i do read he has been involved in the use of force. in yemen animals 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. eldest son has arrived in the u.s. after being allowed to leave saudi arabia salah. had been banned from traveling

china have had a strained relationship since the end of the second world war adrian brown reports now from beijing the leaders of asia's two largest economies have agreed to basically 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 abi 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. is saying he wants to lift the relationship to a new level so the mood music so far appears to be quite positive. three journalists have been released from detention in myanmar after the country's president intervened the man who worked for the country's largest newspaper were arrested earlier this month following the publication of a story alleging officials and young on had mismanaged public phones they've been facing two years in prison currently out on bail. a weather update next year i was here a dentist thousands of migrants continue their journey north through mexico the u.s. says it will send extra troops to its southern border but some americans are offering helping. the creative soul bacon serving a twenty year prison sentence in russia becomes the winner of a human rights prize if your.

japan's prime minister shinzo says that his country's ties with china have reached an historic turning point he's on a three day visit to china that is due to meet china's president xi jinping in the coming hours relations between the two countries have been somewhat strained since the second world war. the f.b.i. has sent search teams to mail sorting centers in the u.s. to try to trace who's been sending bombs to high profile critics of president donald trump so far ten suspicious passes have been found among those targeted the former president barack obama his vice president joe biden and trump's democrat opponent in the twenty sixteen election campaign hillary clinton i was there as patty culhane reports. another day another shot of a crude bomb being carted away to be deactivated on thursday in full open pipe similar to this founded a business owned by actor robert deniro 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 have 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 evil an appropriate way to disown her people used on your network a number of times not only to describe the president but 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. donald trump says that he's sending eight hundred additional u.s. troops to the southern border he wants them to stop thousands of migrants from entering the u.s. the seven thousand strong migrant caravan has been walking through mexico for more

than a week most of from on douras in guatemala and they say they're trying to escape poverty and gang violence home and sent us this update from the state of us. 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 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 there are balancing quicker than when they have 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 president trump has described the approach of the migrant caravan as a national emergency this is rob reynolds reports now from the us mexico border. as thousands of migrants from central america make their way north preparations are underway in san diego the largest port of entry in the u.s. and driv guerrero directs the immigrant's 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 are going to say sions to provide assistance where needed once the migrants reach the border they can apply for asylum as refugees under 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 with the 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 oulds al jazeera at the us mexico border the u.s. is imposing new sanctions on lebanon based group hezbollah donald trump signed the measure into law before attending an event to mark the thirty fifth anniversary of

the attack on the u.s. marine barracks in beirut two hundred forty one u.s. service personnel were killed in the bombing during lebanon's civil war the armed group islamic jihad claimed responsibility for the attack senior members of that group went on to join as paula. over the past year we have levied the highest number of sanctions ever imposed on has been in a single year by far just a few moments ago i signed legislation imposing even more hard hitting sanctions on hezbollah and to further starve them of their funds they are starving thanks we will target disrupt and dismantle their operational and financing networks 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 it spent more than a year now since the u.s. trade and economic sanctions against saddam were lifted since then the country's economy has continued to struggle with cash shortages and banks and the soaring inflation rate of zeros him a morgan reports from khartoum it narmada mohamed is trying to withdraw money from his own account he needs cash to put food on the table and support his family but he says it's often not possible. is that you could have done us in a far out so i wanted to withdraw five thousand pounds or about eighty five dollars and days ago i couldn't withdraw it all sometimes there's money sometimes there's no money in the bank city. economic problems began more than two decades ago when the u.s. imposed financial sanctions accusing sudan of supporting terrorism most of the sanctions were lifted last year and sudan devalued its currency in january but the economy has taken

a downturn with inflation rising to nearly seventy percent people are withdrawing more of their cash to keep up with the rising prices but in recent months banks announced they didn't have enough funds to meet the demand. people came to us asking to withdraw money depending on the cash we had served or we could imagine and if we couldn't we told them to look for other ways to handle the finances such as transfers or checks if we want them to find alternatives to overcome the liquidity crisis. but that may not be easy since u.s. sanctions were lifted last year many sudanese had high hopes that the economy would improve instead getting cash from banks has become more difficult that's because sanctions weren't the only thing first incident economy. so dan relies on oil exports for about seventy percent of its income but that took a big hit in twenty eleven when south sudan with seventy percent of the oil reserves became a separate country the government recently announced it would tighten previously introduced us thirty measures even further in an attempt to ease the situation

because. of tax exemptions will be slashed except for materials needed for production some vehicles provided to officials will be withdrawn we also plan to establish a commodity exchange for gold and currencies to reduce the average inflation and stabilize the exchange rate of the powell. a president has forced it nominate and many others to live day by day with little cash or sometimes no cash at all people morgan al-jazeera of whom. a ukrainian filmmaker who's been called russia's most famous prisoner has been awarded the e.u. stop human rights prize oleg sense of was jailed by russia on terrorism charges some reports the yeah oh yeah oh filmmaker writer and a symbol of defiance in ukraine like sense of maybe hailed as a hero by those campaigning for the release of political prisoners in russia but it

being responsible for the killing. what we do know already is sufficient to suggest very strongly that to me stone was a victim of an extrajudicial executions and that the saudi arabian government is amply kit to in one way all the other including because of its reluctance to undertake an investigation and the beginning of the allegations including according to what turkish government is now saying because of its reluctance to provide information rescuers have been searching shorelines around the dead sea in jordan off of flash flooding killed at least eighteen people most of them with children on a school trip or most forty people were rescued after helicopters and divers were dispatched japan's prime minister shinzo our bases that his country's relationship with china has reached historic turning point as the first japanese leaders a visit beijing on a formal visit in seven years the two countries have signed
