9:04 pm
reiterated saudi arabia must explain who killed the journalist in istanbul earlier this month it was his second speech this week or two and warned that investigators do have more evidence and it will be revealed in his words when the time comes he branded saudi arabia's explanations for the show g.'s disappearance from the consulate as childish and comical and he repeated calls for saudi arabia to rip. wiil the location of these body veterans is the saudi prosecutor handling the case will be coming to istanbul to meet his turkish counterpart on sunday. illuminate the bush of course there is 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 our chief prosecutor and have discussions. fiance had these agencies has spoken publicly in her first
9:05 pm
television interview since the murder remember she was waiting outside while he went into the saudi consulate speaking to turkey's habit of turkey t.v. channel she said president trump's invitation for her to visit the white house was aimed at winning public support and she wouldn't go unless the u.s. made more sincere efforts. demanded to those who carried out of the killing be tried and punished and she also said she has received no calls from saudi officials and the boat she and jamal were nervous before he entered the consulate. that. 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
9:06 pm
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 starting out with charles and stratford outside the consulate in istanbul will talk more about that interview in a moment charles can we discuss the. extradition first of all i suspect turkey wants them to be brought to istanbul. yeah another example of the turkish government he really ratcheting up the pressure on the saudis president her to one basically accusing the saudi side of not cooperating enough in this investigation and according to the justice ministry released a statement they say that the reason why this extradition is simple is because because josie was mudder to hay in turkey by saudi nationals of the justice ministry said travelled him specifically to kill him they say the justice ministry
9:07 pm
goes on to say that the judicial system according to them is better equipped for a generally transparent case to be made a trial to be made here in turkey and it says that the court proceedings will be made available to international observers as well we heard in earlier one speech only a matter of hours be full this announcement regarding the extradition was made early on himself sayed in his woods that direction to the saudis he said if you can't make them to walk regarding those eighteen men if you can't make them talk then send them here and we will put them on trial. today it's fair to say that that speech by president early on has been the toughest yet he mocked ridiculed the saudi leadership cooling there are calling their explanation childish and calm and
9:08 pm
cool as you say and said that lack of cooperation in this investigation was an example of that a lack of responsibility so quite a momentous really. change in tone from the president and no reaction as yet from the saudis regarding the school for the extradition of those eighteen men but we do know that the saudi chief prosecutor is he will coming here in the next. with days to meet his counterparts and there are rumors beginning to circulate that one of the reasons why this extradition was announced today is because it was believed by the government that this meeting with the saudi prosecutor chief there were doubts as to what kind of information or whether the information that was going to be shared was going to be enough charles let's talk about why they did changes interview jamal khashoggi fiance it's not i've said this to before but it's a good reminder about who's at the heart of the story and and what she went through
9:09 pm
when she saw jamal for the last time. yeah i mean a fairly emotional interview at times as you can well imagine she described their life together how they met and the and pulled this all. to him in terms of spreading spreading the word if you like in terms of media freedom and basically being an example for other journalists that was suffering intimidation and threats living in in exile because of the straits put on them if they which would in their own countries that wasn't much new that came out in terms of details regarding evidence but what was interesting was that despite these reports that were reported in the american media certainly loss we we heard that the saudi embassy in washington had advised. to come here to istanbul to do this paperwork she says that
9:10 pm
according to her on the standing that's not the case there was no advice from the saudi embassy in the u.s. and also interesting the old though she does say in that interview that they will sleep very nervous about coming here so but the second she talks about a meeting on friday the friday before september the twenty eighth a previous meeting with the show she had gone to the consulate and according to her because she had said that the people inside the consulate the consulate staffa treated him very well which begs the question whether this was some sort of ploy or some sort of means by which the consulate stoffel trying to win could show as he's called foot ins and set a trap for that appointment on october the second when he was killed child stratford the latest from istanbul thank you. two other news and police in the united states have named the suspects arrested in connection with a dozen possible bomb sent two high profile critics of president donald trump is
9:11 pm
named sees that cyo he was detained in the city of miami in florida earlier two suspicious packages addressed to the new jersey democratic senator cory booker and the former director of national intelligence james clapper where intercepted and remember there were others which targeted former president barack obama his vice president joe biden and of course trump's democratic opponent in the twenty sixteen election in a reclaim tin when last hour the u.s. president spoke about the bomb case law enforcement has apprehended the suspect and taken him into custody. credible job by law of course 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 kimberly how can say the white house first first thing maybe you can
9:12 pm
do first can be just put that sound bite we heard in context because the cheering in the whooping that we hear and see is a little off putting to start with what was that actually about. yeah and it is important to explain that this was a black leadership summit for african-american young people who are also supporters of donald trump they were in a news bubble prior to that announcement so they were expected to talk about the future of african-american leadership and how the white house could help with that they were in that kind of a mood they had not been following the developing news story or the news of the apprehension of a suspect in this ongoing mail bomb plot that has been taking place so they were getting a lot of pushback on social media about those reactions but in fairness because of security screening they had been there for sometimes several hours waiting for that speech and were unaware of what the president was about to say so the criticism not terribly fair what i should tell you though is that this is
9:13 pm
a plot that continues to unfold even as there has been a suspect apprehended we are getting reports of two additional packages that have been seized by federal authorities one to yet another democratic politician this one senator campbell a harris in california the package was not received by her personally but again through mail screening procedures that have been in place in the united states since post september eleventh this package was apprehended and also to another of president terms critics his name is tom styer he is a democratic donor who has through his own finances put forward a series of television commercials calling for the impeachment of donald trump so we know about this suspect that he didn't particularly like folks that criticize the president in fact he had stickers adorning his vehicle that were of not only donald trump but of other members of the administration even some of the targets who have received some of these packages including former first lady hillary
9:14 pm
clinton now what we're waiting for is at the bottom of this hour eight hundred thirty g.m.t. there should be a press conference by the attorney general jeff sessions also the f.b.i. director chris for. re we're will learn more about this case and as we've been talking about here in al-jazeera it is still unfolding because of the massive mail system in the united states these packages are still being discovered ok we'll talk to you again later then kelly how that white house correspondent will rescue was looking for survivors from the flash floods near the dead sea in jordan at least twenty one people were killed thirteen of them children on a school outing they were swept away when heavy rain caused waters to surge in the jordan valley civil defense offices expect that death toll to rise as more from near the dead sea. search and rescue operations have continued throughout friday even though there was little hope since the morning to find anyone alive that said
9:15 pm
one body was found in the afternoon bringing the total number of that so far to twenty one there are still some missing it's unclear whether their bodies might be at the morgue or still haven't been recovered from either the mountainous areas or maybe they see now there are still many questions certainly about the a lot around the decision of the school to changes the trip from the area where they were initially supposed to go which is in another part in the other part of this country and who decided for them to come here without getting official permission from the ministry of education it has to be said that among the school children today it is also the daughter of the director of that school now king abdullah is also taking a close attention to this according to the official news agency here he will be
9:16 pm
presiding over a meeting in which all the different sectors departments of the. civil defense and the police will be meeting trying to understand what happened this time to try to avoid it next time here's what's coming up for you on this news on japan's prime minister hailed as a historic turning point with china. reopened for business a popular tourist destination in the philippines is back up and running but it won't be business as usual. and we will hear from stephen superstar lindsey vonn that she gives up her final season and one last shot at history that's coming up in sport with a little later. israeli prime minister. netanyahu has made a surprise visit to the gulf state of mon netanyahu met the omani leaders sultan qaboos to discuss peace initiatives in the middle east the last time an israeli
9:17 pm
leader visited amman was way back in one thousand nine hundred six interesting the palestinian president mahmoud abbas was also in amman just four days ago discussing the latest developments in the palestinian territories we're going to talk to how the adamant about it is now fizzing fellow at the brookings institution former special envoy for israeli palestinian negotiations with the u.s. state department so why now why do you think this is happening now and as we say only a few days after mahmoud abbas went as well. thanks kemal look i mean i think we look at this from both an israeli and a omani perspective from an israeli perspective this is a this is a big win for netanyahu i think you know he's going to be facing elections next year he wants to show his base and the israeli center that he can continue to be tough on the palestinians but but build bridges with the arab world and so this is a this is a clear boon for prime minister netanyahu from
9:18 pm
a palestinian perspective. i think it's tough it's a tough one mahmoud abbas is the palestinian leadership is clearly under pressure of up on the ropes stay there under a lot of pressure from the u.s. they have what at last a lot of foreign assistance. and so this comes at a time that will sort of increase pressure on abbas to engage and then i should finally say from an armani perspective i think this came as a surprise to many i just happened to be on the phone with a colleagues in on mon early this morning before this news broke and they clearly had no idea what was going on just just at this moment and i think it's very interesting oman has come from playing a kind of sleepy role in the gulf to playing a role that qatar used to play a decade ago moderating and mediating between. different countries in the region you say a sleepy role but haven't they always been the sort of quiet negotiators in the
9:19 pm
region very much to the quietest of the g.c.c. countries but as. and i use this word very carefully as neutral as you could possibly get in this part of the world. i think that's right i think monny is having been increasingly playing this role since the arab spring began and ironically i think as i would say qatar's role diminished in this regard qatari played this role from twenty years ago to ten years ago as qatar got more involved in the conflicts in syria in the conflict in libya the omanis began to step up and so they played a key role in the u.s. iran negotiations and we see them playing the role between qatar and saudi arabia today and and here playing a role where it's giving you know prime minister netanyahu this tremendous photo opportunity. in the region what does it say if we look at it
9:20 pm
alongside the so-called deal of the century the one which jarred coercion or and total trump and his administration have been planning for the israelis and palestinians is this i mean it's speculative i know but is this something which could sit alongside that instead of that. right so i think it's look i think this deal of the century that trump and cushion are trying to cook up look they still might pull a rabbit out of the hat but that if by the time that that rabbit's been in the hat so long that by by the time they pull him out he will either starve to death or choke to death i don't think that rabbit will be alive when they pull it out of the hat. look i think clearly this is this may be designed to put more pressure as i said earlier on the palestinians to get them to come to the table. but i also think that the palestinian leadership still has a card in their hands that i think while there can be these overtures to between
9:21 pm
gulf states and israel i don't think will come anywhere near to seeing full diplomatic relations unless the palestinians. agree and will put more pressure it all it won't be enough pressure i think to get the palestinian leadership to agree to something that does not work for them right how the middle east peace and pulling rabbits out of hats and you so much for your time do appreciate it. pleasure from just another note from the region you remember every friday since march palestinians have held protests on the israeli gaza border well five palestinians have been killed by israeli gunfire during today's protests since that began on march thirtieth is ready forces have killed at least two hundred and seven palestinians now sri lanka there has been a return to power in the last few hours the former president mahinda rajapaksa has been sworn in this time as prime minister however. the says his sacking is not
9:22 pm
legal and he's going to challenge it in court the move ends a coalition government that was formed by two bitterly opposed political parties mel fernandez live in colombo for us on this one fair to say i'm in el that all of this is come as a big surprise. absolutely it's another one of those perpetual rabbits out of the hat so to speak. it has come as a bold out of the blue not the political sort of establishment neither of the citizenry this has come as a complete surprise as news unfolded of it during the evening here in colombo people just keep scratching their head and looking at each other in surprise no it's not to say that they did not know there were problems in government the coalition government between the then prime minister and a vicar missing her and the president might be powerless citizen that had been at loggerheads for a while now we saw it coming to
9:23 pm
a head at the recent local government elections where they literally went at each other. their performance suffered so the fact that it has led to the return of the former president mahinda rajapaksa is a huge huge surprise. what sort of power will he have minimal because sri lanka is one of these countries which has a prime minister and the president different countries have different power vested in each position how will it work in sri lanka. longer has sort of a mixed system the executive presidency in sri lanka is a very very powerful office and president seriously and when he took over he did have certain constitutional amendments which kind of trimmed some of those powers but it is still very much of powerful executive presidency he has a kind of an all over riding power over government over cabinet even though there
9:24 pm
have been certain tweaks to the constitution that kind of limits those powers the prime minister functions as the head of government and hence this is why we're expecting with the new prime minister being sworn in that he will be expected to form a new government now all of this with the former prime minister or as he calls himself the current prime minister run and become a singer saying he's still very much the man in power that he has the votes so sort of a real sort of a juggling act of power but it will all depend on what the legality is the constitutionality is depending on whom you speak to you know that party who was the sort of power of the day saw the coming hours in the coming days will sort of clear or clarify the picture one hopes as to what exactly the future holds for sri lanka very very interesting thank you miguel fernandes in colombo. now three journalists
9:25 pm
have been released on bail in may and maher after the president intervened the men work for the country's largest private newspaper and were arrested earlier this month following the publication of a story alleging officials in yangon had mismanaged public funds they are facing two years in prison. japan's prime minister has been meeting the chinese president in beijing shinzo hour by 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 given ties have been strained since the second world war brown reports 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 shinzo our base said he wanted to lift relations to a new level to also competition which corporation relations between japan and china
9:26 pm
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. china is awaiting to further strengthen the positive interactions or pan yan 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
9:27 pm
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 what 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 a security partner without comparison is the united states but 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. and during his visit to beijing shinzo are both said he's ready to work with china on the issue of north
9:28 pm
korea and south korea have agreed to remove some gun posts though along the peninsula the demilitarized zone eugene young has more 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. fight is meeting as we saw there was carried out in the 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 truce village of public back in april and what's important here after friday's meeting is that
9:29 pm
the two bill a tree as of the two careers are fully committed to implementing the military agreement that both sides signed back in september and friday the tear sides agreed to remove eleven guard posts each from within the demilitarized zone by the end of november two sides 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 d. 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. race to the u.s.
