i'll be. there is other information and evidence that we are holding. the extradition of the eighteen suspects in the killing of journalist come out. as the president calls the kingdom's explanations childish and comical. santa maria and this is. also ahead we're going to hear from. her first television interview. as she entered the consulate he was a bit worried he really in fact i was moved and had. also says

she has not yet heard from saudi officials directly. i am pleased to inform you that law enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody. in other news police in the u.s. arrest a suspect in the recent series of mail bombs targeting president trump's critics and a popular tourist destination in the philippines is back up and running but it won't be business as usual. so turkish authorities are demanding extradition eighteen saw the suspects in connection with the killing of jamal khashoggi the news comes hours after turkey's president warned that saudi arabia must explain who killed the journalist in istanbul earlier on this month this was his second speech this week project. investigators have more ever. it's which will be revealed when the time comes he

describes saudi arabia as explanations for cook should cheese killing as childish and comical and he repeated calls for saudi arabia to reveal the location of the body where the one says the saudi prosecutor handling the case will be coming to istanbul on sunday the. bush of course there's other information and evidence that we are holding and they will be used when the time comes but there's 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 chief prosecutor and have discussions but the other development was jamal khashoggi his fiance has a judge indians who has spoken publicly in her first television interview since the murder she was speaking to turkey's happened t.v. channel a few hours ago and said president trump's invitation for her to visit the white house was aimed at winning public support and she wouldn't go until the u.s.

made more sincere efforts at the judge and demanded that those who carried out the killing be tried and punished and she also said she received no calls from saudi officials and that both she and jamal were nervous before entering the consulate. you know that engine in there as he into 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 lorries. and cargo much that he was very happy and date on the basis that he was writing there because his close friends including other journalists and intellectuals and now in prison so there

was a certain moral responsibility he had taken on he used to say the fact that i'm an american isn't just about me writing for the washington post i'm rushing things my friends table too i have the means to do this i have arranged for this to happen but at the same time he was incredibly lonely and in emotional scenes he was very lonely perhaps the reason why our relationship so quickly turned into an emotional one was because jamal in that period of his life was in search of someone to be with. in istanbul interesting interview it was we'll talk about it more in a moment or can i start with you with the latest on this call for extradition for the. yeah what a day really kemal again more pressure from the turkish government this time at this to that be that extradition all of the eighteen suspects that have been arrested in saudi arabia we've heard earlier in the day from the turkish president

insisting that he believes you know that these eighteen main know potentially way she's guilty ase and he literally said these words he said that if you can't make them talk directing this to the saudis if you can't make them till then send them to and we will put them on trial here and now we've had these formal request for extradition and certainly according to the justice ministry the justice ministry saying that the reason for the six addition officially is that she was murdered in by saudi nationals that travels to key so the justice ministry says specifically for that purpose they saying specifically for killing mr coo shows she also says that it's clear that the judicial system is better equipped here to generally say the coals of justice in this case and saying that the proceedings

will be open to international observers to ensure the greatest level of transparency yeah more indications of increasing pressure on the saudis from. you heard in mr erdogan speech the language that he's using now he's really not mincing his words calling their explanation for what's happened as being calm and cool and questioning that responsibility saying that this doesn't illustrate responsible leadership in saudi arabia we are expecting the saudi prosecutor chief to be over here into over the weekend as you say there's going to be a meeting with his counterpart here it is already in the local press here. it is speculation that the reason why this extradition has been announced just because there was an understanding that there wasn't going to be enough information divulged by the saudi prosecutor chief when he comes here in the next couple of

days. let's talk about this interview from. jamal khashoggi fiance it's quite an emotional interview she gave and i said this you are a good reminder that we are dealing with the lives of two people here one of whom she just doesn't know where the body of her fiance is yeah and very telling that she says that she has not had any cool's from any of the saudis any any any saudi official with this regard she spoke at length about the personal lives together how the friendships that she had made here in turkey in the u.s. and how he was doing this very much this writing not just for himself he never described himself as a distance she said be full to newspapers here but stressing that he was very much looking at trying to force change and a great freedom full for journalists for think his full full full critics who are

full steam into living abroad because of the repression of their respective governments she described him very much as a saudi patriot and very touchingly at the end said that she had told her that when he did die he always wanted to be buried in medina is his home city ok thank you for those updates child stranded in istanbul. now moving to other news in the u.s. justice department says a man in florida has been arrested in connection with the recent wave of suspicious packages sent through the u.s. mail those targeted have been high profile politicians and outspoken opponents of president trump earlier the f.b.i. confirmed a package was intercepted again in florida this was addressed to democratic senator cory booker and also one sent to the democratic senator harris another was found in the new york postal santa addressed to former u.s. director of national intelligence james clapper and then of course they've been

other targets former president barack obama his vice president joe biden and former presidential candidate hillary clinton what within the last hour the u.s. president has spoken about the bomb case here's what he said law enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody. credible job by law enforcement we've carried out a far reaching federal state and local investigation to find the person or persons responsible for these events these terrorizing acts despicable and have no place in our country his committee how could it the white house not to talk more about this when i think i heard you saying in one of the early bulletins can be that don't trump likes to win this is a win for himself he even had an audience there who were supporting him all the way . yet it should be careful we should be careful when we talk about some of the cheering that took place in that room well many people say that the tone was not

necessarily appropriate you have to remember that these folks these supporters at a black leadership summit of african-american young people they had been in kind of an information bubble for quite some time and were probably not aware of the rapidly unfolding in real time news story that was happening outside the white house due to security screening waiting for the president so when you hear heard some of that cheering there i don't think a lot of them fully understood what the president was about to talk about they were enthusiastic thinking about the potations they had been receiving and were attending at the white house not necessarily aware the president was going to then discuss that the mail bomb plot that has sort of gripped america for the last three days has finally been an apprehension in that so it is important clarify why that tone looking on television necessarily didn't reflect the actual sentiments of the people in the room but having said that there certainly was

a lot of excitement about the fact that there was an apprehension and this is something now that many people can breathe a sigh of relief given the fact that there are still as you point out discoveries being made with regard to more than a dozen so now packages that have been mailed to prominent democratic politicians and members of the republican party or republican supporters who we have pointed out are critics of donald trump political opponents if you will and don't trust feeling a little bit of pushback in fact about some of his criticism of the criticisms of his tone very different from what we saw in the room where he called for political unity because in fact he was tweeting at three am local time here in the united states eastern standard time saying funny how the lowly rated c.n.n. one of the targets of one of these packages and others can criticize me at will even blaming me for the current spate of bombs in. ridiculously comparing this to the september eleventh in the oklahoma city bombing yet when i criticize them they

go wild and scream it's just not presidential and that's the debate we're having right now in the united states because the president as you point out as i mentioned is a fighter he sees this is as another opportunity where he makes the case for a group of americans that feel they have not been represented or had a voice in some time so he says that even though there are another large group of americans who feel that traditionally the president should be a united are at times like these and they don't like the tone and tenor coming from this particular president particularly in the white house him believe how could the white house thank you palestinians have held protests on the israeli gaza border of course since march and in the latest ones five were killed by israeli gunfire is ready forces have killed at least two hundred seven palestinians since the demonstrations began you know benjamin netanyahu has made the first official visit to amman by an israeli leader in twenty four years according to official statements he discussed ways to resolve the israeli palestinian conflict with sultan qaboos he was invited after lengthy behind the scenes meetings news of this visit there only

emerged on benjamin netanyahu to return to israel this revenue man have had no official diplomatic relations in nearly twenty years. the remains of a twenty one year old gay student who was murdered in the u.s. is now being interred at the national cathedral in washington twenty years after his death. are we. not sure those are the right pictures but the cathedral has to the service for the public followed by a private ceremony for matthew shepard's ashes shepherd was studying at the university of wyoming in nine hundred ninety eight when he was kidnapped beaten and left for dead his case brought national attention and led to many u.s. states passing new laws against hate crimes were never break here on al-jazeera and when we come back. this story japan's prime minister hailing a historic turning point with china. and its controversial former president mahinda rajapaksa returns to power we'll look at what position he's in this time.

hello there we see some deadly flooding in parts of russia recently mostly is being in the southwest of the country where the worst of the weather has been these pictures are from around the black sea so in the sochi region you can see just how bad the flooding is there it's actually destroyed part of that bridge now this system is all part of the same system that gave us the flooding in jordan as well you can see the showers out of that and it's all part of this huge swirling mass that's also given us some wet weather and snow over parts of turkey really has turned quite wintery for some of us here particularly in the east that system hasn't quite finished with us just yet it's working its way steady eastwood still still getting some heavy downpours i think the heaviest rains as we head through saturday will be around to the north of terror on an old site for the southwestern

parts of iran so very heavy downpours in these two regions and then it'll sweep its way eastwards as we head through sunday giving us some rain and a bit of snow there. mati in kazakhstan and that stretches all the way down towards us here in doha actually so let's move a little bit further south towards that and take a closer look at that system there is the heavy rain the we're expecting in the southwest in parts of iran then it works its way southwards it does ease a bit but still pockets of heavy rain out of that as we head through the day on sunday. divorce rates in taiwan are soaring and as a marriage consultant and knows this and lead to well. but as the sixtieth wedding anniversary approaches own parents are looking moans rather than alms now we're going to have to go to. canada daughter and professional expertise make them see eye to eye. my fine back my mom part of the viewfinder asian

series on al-jazeera. to hear the headlines this hour on al-jazeera. demanding the extradition of eighteen saudis suspects in connection with the killing of jamal khashoggi the turkish president says investigators have more evidence in the killing and it will be revealed when the time comes. one is also demanding disclose the location of his body. meanwhile the journalist fiance has given his her first t.v. interview since his death speaking with turkish broadcaster have. just said

he had not wanted to go to the saudi consulate which he entered on october second before he was killed. and the u.s. justice department says a man in florida has been arrested in connection with the recent wave of suspicious packages sent through the mail those targeted have been high profile politicians and outspoken opponents of president. sri lanka now where there's a power struggle after the president sacked the prime minister and appointed a former president to replace him mahinda rajapakse so you remember that name he was sworn in. as prime minister by the president my three parlors that is center but its predecessor running will become a singer says his shock sacking is not legal and he will challenge it in court to move the coalition government was formed by two bitterly opposed political parties very interesting developments and we've got mel for now and is with us in colombo to talk more about it maybe let's deal with it chronologically now first of all the

sacking of the now former prime minister details on that. that's a strange thing there was no inkling that this was happening there was no formal sacking the first we heard of any movement within the political circles was the announcement that a new prime minister had been sworn in the prime minister's media division sort of falling in a bit late after the swearing in video little mobile phone clip started circulating on social media. centrally the rumor mill started working overtime and then we heard the oarfish a statement from the president's office that the new prime minister was minded rajapaksa and that he had been sworn in by the president might be a policy to say in the earlier on today among extraordinary i'm just checking he awards president rajapaksa from two thousand and five to two thousand and fifteen

he comes back now as prime minister what does that mean for the power structure in in sri lanka what what amount of power does he have. people are still wondering what this means because the former prime minister running the vicar macing who had entered the coalition government with president my partner seriously and is claiming that he's still prime minister he spoke to local media channels a short while ago and said he has the numbers in parliament he has a support base and that he says the essentially the swearing in of my in the rajapaksa as the new pm is illegal the prime minister in sri lanka basically is seen as the head of the government usually what happens is after an election you have someone who commands the most amount of seats or basically support base in parliament who can muster the most amount of seeds being called upon to set up and

create a government and that's what this would have meant if it was cut and dry and that my in the rajapaksa takes over as prime minister now the fact that the president himself swore in mind the rajapaksa shows which side he's throwing his weight behind so it is into the coming hours indeed tomorrow when some of this missed people are hoping it will clear and they'll find out what exactly is going on and stuff thank you michelle fernandez live in colombo. japan's prime minister has been meeting the chinese president in beijing making the first formal visit to china by a japanese leader in seven years he says the relationship between the two countries is a historic turning point ties of course strained well ever since the second world war or during brown has a report from beijing. a red carpet welcome for a japanese prime minister in beijing would have seemed dumb thinkable 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 shouldn't he wanted to lift relations to a new level. to also find out from competition that you 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 it was a plan young she learned from history and the faithful worked 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 united states and japan also have many overlapping institutions
