and allegations of corruption in an exclusive interview one o one e speaks with. on al jazeera. this is al jazeera. you're watching the news live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes turkey's president says investigators have more evidence in the killing of jamal. and will reveal it when the time comes. the journalist fiance gives her first t.v. interview since his death was confirmed. at least twenty people were killed during flooding in jordan most of the victims are students who were on a school trip. and hoping to move from

a relationship of competition to one of cooperation japan's prime minister hails i'm historic turning point with china. turkey is continuing to ramp up the pressure on saudi arabia over the killing of the journalist. the turkish president is demanding riyadh explain who killed the journalist inside the saudi consulate in istanbul earlier this month in his second speech this week president. besta gates's have more evidence which will be revealed quotes on the time comes he branded saudi arabia's various explanations for a shall choose death as childish and comical and repeated calls for the kingdom to reveal the location of the journalist body as the saudi prosecutor handling the case will be traveling to. stan bull to meet turkish officials on sunday.

of course there is other information and evidence that we are holding and they will be used when the time comes but there is no need to rush because in the first instance the saudi officials have to explain who killed. on monday they sent the chief prosecutor to stumble. they will meet with our chief prosecutor and have discussions charles stratford as our correspondent outside the saudi consulate in istanbul so charles what else did mr erdogan have to say today. well it's fair to say that the president heard of one really ramping up the pressure on the saudis demanding more. he said that you know he was convinced that if these indeed these eighteen men had been arrested in saudi arabia that one of them must surely know where all have information on where the shells g.'s body is

and also reference making reference to what we've been describing as this collaborator somebody who has been described as a local a local turkish national who was part of or took part in it's believed the moving of these bodies being reported that he was moved from the consulate the consulate rolled up in a rug some of the language that mr erdogan used today with respect to the saudi leadership can only really be described certainly if you look at it within the cultural context that we're in at the moment is being almost offensive again an example of just how confident he ease and as you say he's threatened to release more information if indeed information from the saudi side isn't forthcoming the saudi prosecutor on his way here over the weekend. again and

not even a veiled threat from mr erdogan that he expects the saudi prosecutor to come clean or as i say we can expect more leaks let's listen to what else he said and trust me he's not mincing his words on this one. the water that saudi officials made such an announcement which gave was considerable concern because they said that he had left the consulate of course these explanations were quite comical a person like. if he had left the consulate would he not pick up his fiancee who was waiting for him outside his childish excuses to not befits a responsible state and they did not befit responsible statesmanship well jamal fiance had. been speaking publicly for the first time since he was

murdered she waited outside while he went into the saudi consulate here's a little clip of what she told turkey's habit television that. you know you have engineered there as he entered the consulate he was a bit worried he really was worried in fact i was more worried than him because they didn't allow me in and not only did they not allow me in the consulate wasn't the sort of place where you could just pop in and see what's happened to your friend this is the security offices another security beyond that so it was just simply impossible for me to go in there after he winton i was continuously watching to see who emerged from the consulate we were both parys charles the fiance had talking for the first time on public t.v. there national television international television i guess is that an indication that the authorities maybe have got as much information from her as they think they are ever going to get. it's very difficult to tell isn't it

peter i mean as you say this is the first time that she has on television. beaten into viewed you could quite argue again that this is all part of this seemingly very well choreographed effort by the turks to drip feed information and to put more pressure on the saudis i mean she's come out with some very interesting new information as well certainly it was reported in the initial stages of this crisis certainly of the american media that she had been told by the saudi embassy in the u.s. that he had to go through and do the paperwork necessary full for this marriage here in istanbul there saying that that was not the case in her understanding he had not specifically been told to come here she also says that interesting lee he'd come to the embassy on the friday before october the second before before he was killed and

he'd gone into the consulate and so she says had been made to feel quite at ease he was quite confident about returning to choose stay as directed by people in the consulate to continue. with this process she says that. she says that she was very afraid still about him coming here to the consulate and she says that. after a period of time when he'd been inside she doesn't specify that the amount of time which she said she called the consulate she called somebody inside she said that a man picked up the phone and said that there was nobody in the embassy it was then she says that she called a member of the ruling to make a policy advised him on what happened and then the police arrived she also describes mr bush shows he is as a patrick it is a patriot as a saudi patriot somebody who loves his country and somebody who has an increasing amount of friends not only here in turkey but the u.s. as well charles thanks very much. well the united nations special rapporteur on

summary or arbitrary killings as jamal khashoggi was the victim of an extrajudicial execution she's pointing the finger directly at the saudi leadership diplomatic it is the james bays now 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 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 right up there with 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 there 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 refer will 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. at the united nations well the death. has caused global ripple effects russia is the latest major power to comment on it's a spokesman for the kremlin says it has no reason to doubt the claims from the saudi royal family which insists it wasn't involved in the murder alexey klebnikov is a middle east specialist the russian international affairs council he says is looking towards russia as a potential alternative ally. yesterday we saw that king said

a man cold blooded would you know they had a conversation and during that conversation they all were also discussed this case of a question and what. makes it very important is that king solomon chose russia to to make this first call to international leader after this you know. notorious case started to become public firstly because russia is treated in the west also as a kind of harper state with a kind of. bad attitude towards journalists and freedom of speech and also because russia has lied so that it could problems with the west and secondly it saudi arabia by calling could in a sense signal to the west that look guys we have quite good relations with russia and we also can consider it as an alternative to you. i think that's right

important although we should not you know bite one hundred percent because however i mean whatever saudi king or prince might say i think leaders and politicians in the west won't bother much about what what they're saying and won't take it seriously well jamal hashad she is friends an activist to be holding a vigil for him they say the saudi crown prince has blood on his hands and insist they will not accept any compromises in the case of his murder on this occasion and from this place where the spirit of their man has been lost we clearly state that we do not and will not accept compromises in the case of his murderer and that we will not keep silent on any attempt to evade any criminal criminal from accountability and one from. we will follow only them it means to achieve full

justice food demand or jamal his shorts his oldest son has arrived in the u.s. after being allowed to leave saudi arabia salah. she has been banned from traveling outside the kingdom previously was photographed meeting the crown prince mohammed bin zalman on tuesday photo opportunity was widely condemned as being insensitive evidence from the turkish investigation has linked her show g.'s killing to the office of the crown prince. in other news now a search and rescue operation is underway near the dead sea in jordan after these twenty people were killed in flash flooding most of the victims were children on a school outing. the headlights of risky vehicles illuminator ravine on the did see. this search in for school children swept away in a flash flood on thursday. the sound of rushing water is drowned out by helicopters seen from israel as only she could hear the nominal we're doing

everything we can everyone from the ministry of labor the ministry of interior civil defense down in the water and up in the mountain they won't be leaving the area until we know the fate of every student every citizen jordan has experienced heavy rains this week witnesses say the children were visiting popular hot springs inland from the tutsi and they were swept into a valley by a flesh smart most of the children were under fourteen years old risk families picnicking at the holiday spot were among the dead and injured and. when the flash floods came to this swept the students forty five kilometers from the hot springs to this valley which leads to the dead sea there were people who ended up in the sea water and there were people who managed to reach rocks and save themselves. jordan's prime minister tweeted this image of alyssa between amman's victoria college and the ministry of education showing they only had permission to go to as rock a two hour drive east of the did see it where there was that i mean there were many

warnings from the metrological department. and that's why i really don't understand how this syndicates and such a day. we did see is the lowest point on earth and prone to didley floods in april taynton agents who were hiking in southern israel also. a few kilometers from the site a procession of ambulances pushed through crowds. hospital doctors treated more patients. each time the doors opened relative. might reveal the fate of the. story because bill hamid is our correspondent why the how many young people of the still looking for well we just heard from the civil defense here

one more body was found i don't know exactly where presumably somewhere in mountain area where schoolchildren were brings the total number of dead now to twenty one. according to authorities here now it's unclear how many are still missing we heard a few hours ago that eight bodies were still missing it appears that some have been found or recognized at the morgue but that's the situation is very clear yet and actually this is a defense here saying that they need to clarify the situation before declaring. the search and rescue operation even though since this morning they've been saying that they had very little hope to find anyone alive all the authorities expecting more rain for more flooding. certainly this something that happens in this part of the world and actually just

a few months ago there were similar flash floods just across the sea from the other side in israel where also some schoolchildren had lost their lives what we know at this point is that king abdullah itself is getting involved that he is going to hold a meeting with all the authorities here to try and figure out understand what happened this time and try to avoid that in the future but they had been many warnings. that was coming and they were. had been telling people to keep away from that area so i think there's also many questions as to why the school children were here since they didn't even get the permit from the ministry of education to come to this which are completely other parts of the country they were supposed to be in a day out yes but this is not the place where they were supposed to be many questions and certainly. country preparing itself i mean this is just the beginning

of winter heaviest rain is quite heavy sometimes here during the december january february and then you have the stance sandstorms following so certainly you would presume that authorities will try to prevent this from happening again thanks very much. plenty more still to come here all the news for you including. indonesia where it's been almost a month since the earthquake and tsunami so many people are still missing tens of thousands are homeless and there's ongoing concern for the welfare of children the most vulnerable in the aftermath of the disaster. open for business again a popular tourist destination in the philippines is back up and running but it won't be business as usual. and there's a close call for the boston celtics in the n.b.a. . in the sports news in.

that we have a developing story for you coming to us out of the states another suspicious mail package has been found by f.b.i. investigators in the u.s. the elevons in two days all have been addressed to a high profile critics of donald trump the latest one was sent to the prominent democrat senator cory booker let's just show you the situation live in new york where the new york police department is saying they're investigating one a package in midtown manhattan will stay with these live pictures and we'll talk to our correspondent kimberly so clearly somebody or some people have a big problem on the left of the political divide in america. yeah they're the recipients at least some very prominent members of the political left in the united states are the recipients of some unwanted packages and we should point out the story is still developing as we look at those pictures coming out of

new york what we're learning now from the investigators on the ground there and from reports is the package that was discovered there believe in midtown manhattan in fact was addressed to the former director of national intelligence james clapper who we know has been a vocal critic of president trump and that there is potentially a twelve package that has been discovered addressed to senator cory booker from new jersey and that that package we believe was detected when the f.b.i. zeroed in on a mail processing center outside of miami so we now have the potential that there is an eleventh and twelfth package discovered and many people pointing the finger at president donald trump given the fact that he's openly sparred with many of these politicians who are receiving these packages and also accusations that he has not been presidential heavy cocaine reports. 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 were and 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. and kimberly i'm just seeing dropping on the wires here from mr clapper saying suspicious packages will not silence trump critics that's also

being mirrored in an interview that he gave with the domestic news channel there in the states mr clapper saying not a surprise to be mailed suspicious package he's calling it domestic terrorism i guess as well for the authorities there were a must be this is more than one person doing this and whatever it is however you label it it's not over yet if we're up to the twelfth package now. yeah this is this is not only terrifying because of what is a folding day after day the sort of drip drip of these new targets that are being discovered but the fact is that it's reminiscent of something that happened almost twenty years ago in the united states with the anthrax scare that targeted multiple members of congress five people died at a postal processing facility as a result of being exposed to anthrax spores and well in these most recent example no one has been killed as a result of what appears to be pipe bombs certainly the screening that was put in

place almost twenty years ago has led to these packages being detected often before they're delivered to their recipients so this is what the f.b.i. is zeroing in on now is this postal facility near miami this is where they believe that forensic evidence has led them to to look at this is how we believe they discovered yet another package addressed to senator cory booker but again all of these have been vocal trump officials. as the president has been thinking about this in fact we noted that it seems to be keeping him up at night peter he sent a tweet out about this kind of pushing back on the accusations that he has not been presidential in his handling of this situation in fact he tweeted it just after three am local washington d.c. time finger pointing one of the networks that was also a target for these packages c.n.n. he's accused them of over four inflating this story comparing it to after the

september eleventh attacks and certainly pushing back on the accusations in the scrutiny that he's receiving right now where many feel that he should be rising above this being the consoler in chief trying to bring the country together particularly before election day on november sixth but as political he reported it seems that america is deeply divided and no sign of unity just yet people taking extra steps when it comes to being cautious now do we think. i think that you know there's now a generation in the united states that's grown up post september eleventh this is their way of life certainly for people of my age who noticed the stark contrast before and after there is a different posture and i think that many people just particularly in high target cities like washington d.c. or new york city or other sort of major metropolitan areas people just of become accustomed to the fact that this is something that they live with they're used to

the heavy screening at airports federal buildings as a result of perhaps that was put in place after the nine hundred ninety five oklahoma city federal building bombing there this is something that americans of course accustomed to certainly they maybe sort of having a heightened awareness there are campaigns if you see something say something that are routinely run at sporting events and on television and this is just sort of a reminder of that ongoing vigilance that is necessary if you live in the united states kimberly thanks very much. ok time for the weather here steph looking a bit chilly now in parts of europe let's take a look half of the satellite picture you can see is to needing edge of that cold air so everywhere to the north of that now is feeling decidedly cool with and we're going to see that cool air push further and further southwards and as it does so it hits into that woman abbots across the mediterranean and then we see some pretty explosive weather so i have a parts of spain that looks pretty wet and then as it works its way across the alps we see some very heavy downpours and we're also looking at

a fair amount of wintery weather as well so some places hey could see a good few hundred millimeters of rain some people are reporting that they could be up to five hundred millimeters of rain that could cause a problem with flooding over the alps there and there were parts of spain so that system sort of meanders around as we had three sunday and then we see more of that cold air work its way across the iberian peninsula so madrid will see a top temperature just of eleven degrees a route change faults cool across many of the western parts of europe and it's only really the southeast where we cling on to that sunshine twenty four degrees in bucharest well so bright with a hair in that sunshine will also be extending across parts of turkey which is good news because we've had some really destructive weather across this region recently from jordan all the way up to the southwestern parts of russia there's been horrible weather here that is working its way eastwards we're going to see some very heavy falls over the southwest in policy every ran we could even see some flooding here on saturday the system works towards us here in doha peter. steph thanks very much still to come here on the al-jazeera news out year after the

is at an historic turning point ties have been strained since the second world war from beijing. a red carpet welcome for a japanese prime minister in beijing would have seemed unthinkable just a few years ago but now the leaders of asia's two most powerful economies are talking rather than threatening each other. in discussions with china's premier league shinzo abbay said he wanted to lift relations to a new level two also from competition to cooperation relations between japan and china that is in the process of entering a new era. china is japan's biggest trading partner the volume of two way trade could grow even further given the number of business deal signed here this is a relationship marked by historical hostility and rivalry but both sides agreed to work towards easing tensions in the east china sea where japan and china claim sovereignty over

a cluster of tiny uninhabited islands. that dispute led to a wave of anti japanese riots in china six years ago but on friday all that was forgotten. your child has a wedding to further strengthen the positive interactions as you can learn from history and the faithful words to was the future. the present was also on our mind during his talks he said japan was paying close attention to human rights in china increasing uncertainties in the two countries respective ties with the united states are pushing japan and china closer shinzo abhi worries about the united states declining presence in the region while president xi jinping hopes that japan can help ease the impact of china's escalating trade war with the united states japan is looking at both the united states and china and trying to figure out what's the best balance between these two states depends biggest trading partner

today is china and that relationship will continue to be important but japan's security partner without comparison is the united states but the united states and japan also have many overlapping institutions so in china japan's prime minister is having to perform a delicate balancing act adrian brown al-jazeera beijing. well during his visit to beijing shinzo abi said she is ready to work with china on the issue of north korea while pyongyang and south korea have agreed to remove some guard posts along the peninsula as demilitarized zone eugene jiang has more now from seoul. the two koreas held general grade military talks at the northern side of the pond when john on friday this comes just one day after the two koreas and the us led un command a removed all fire arms and guard posts from within the same area. and it feels

great to see with my very own eyes that the joint security area has really been to militarized under the september nineteen military agreement. fighting is meeting as we saw there was carried out in a very positive atmosphere clearly mirroring a more relaxed mood of between the two koreas ever since the south korean president in and north korean leader kim jong un held their first summit at the truth village of public back in april and what's important here after friday's meeting is that the two bill a trace of the two careers are fully committed to implementing the military agreement that both sides signed back in september and friday the tear sites agreed to remove eleven guard posts each from within the demilitarized zone by the end of november two sites also confirmed that they will stop all hostile actions against each other starting from november first and also agreed that they will continue to

work on the mining the d.m.z. and searching for war remains looking for soldiers killed in action during the one nine hundred fifty two fifty three korean war there's a lot of progress being made between the two countries and there are concerns even within south korea though that this is happening very quickly although north korea is yet to show concrete steps of giving up its nuclear arms fourteen children have been stabbed in front of a kindergarten in the south west of china it happened in the city of queen a female suspect was now be detained. at least one person is dead in kenya after a building collapsed several people are trapped in the rubble in the town of lindy rescue workers are at the scene more than a dozen people have been pulled out so far local people saying the collapse may have been caused by strong winds tens of thousands of people remain homeless on the indonesian island of so the way i see a month after a devastating earthquake and tsunami many are trying to rebuild their lives but for

children who lost their parents life remains a day to day struggle a reports now from palo. in the shadow of destruction some schools have reopened as much as possible given the scale of the earthquake and tsunami rebuilding classrooms will take a long time as well rebuilding the confidence of the children on the first day back after the disaster less than a third of students showed up at this school just outside the city of palu and no one to buy it and many students have difficulty getting here the roads in the north are still cut off in many places some of them are also injured so maybe they're still too traumatized to come to school. for those who did attend the makeshift classroom offered a form of healing and a sense of togetherness. and i really wanted to go back to school i was waiting and waiting but i didn't hear any news about the school. there are many

children who remain unaccounted for probably way more than the officially registered number of just over one hundred the children who have lost their parents or have been separated from immediate family members there's an increased risk of abuse or becoming victims of child trafficking is. the idea. of course we worry there could be trafficking cases especially if the children are still babies they can't say anything yet so confirming identities can only be done through the parents and people around them. social workers visit camps to try to educate people about the need to report details of children who may be in need almost a month on from the disaster still receiving tipoffs every day on this occasion they investigate a report of an eight year old boy seen in a nearby house they find that his aunt and uncle had been caring for him but he's now being taken to another city far away to stay with distant relatives this case

highlights the challenges that social workers are facing in trying to find missing children they've been able to confirm some details about the boy whose entire immediate family is believed to have been killed in the disaster and are now recommending that he be brought back here to palu where he used to live but the point is that until now no one in an official capacity knew that he even existed. with communities still in disarray it's a confusing scary time for the youngest survivors in some camps the government and aid groups of set up safe places to children to play and receive psychological support when given the opportunity to draw what they want they often choose houses perhaps reflecting on happy times and looking forward to their return wayne hay al-jazeera palu indonesia. donald trump says he's sending eight hundred u.s. troops to the southern border he wants them to stop thousands of people from entering the u.s.

a seven thousand strong so-called migrant caravan has been walking north through central america for more than a week most from honduras and guatemala and say they're trying to escape poverty and gang violence john holeman reports now from the state of chiapas in mexico. 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 march in these pictures the 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 of whites coming now to president hernandez upon earth. told me that the caravan that's now making its way 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. 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 the league 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 be fifty or so people and it got bigger and bigger so we came after it. but the one during government claimed this man was the mastermind behind all of it former opposition congressman and long term migrant activist twenty. 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 i'm proud of 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 travelled 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 chap us three journalists have been released on bail in myanmar after the president intervened the men work for the country's largest private newspaper they
