had nothing to high which is obviously laughable but if they had nothing to high they would they would give the turkish for thought of these the body but i don't think they can do that because the body i believe has been dismembered this saudi. internal security services of a very brutal and i'm sure that they have carried this out and they will not turn over the body because i think that will be another shock but the important thing is whenever you lie in these things you have to come up with a bigger lie and the saudis they would have been much smarter if they had tried to be more honest to begin with now this thing is getting on the really out of control and to my way of looking at it the only way that it can be resolved is n.b.s. who step aside i'm not saying he should be killed or whole beheaded because he has

been in charge of this crime but i think he has to step aside if king sound man wants to preserve the royal family in the in the position that it's in the same askari and thank you very much for your time appreciate it thank you for having me . a supporter of donald trump's been arrested on suspicion of sending at least thirteen pipe bombs two high profile critics of the u.s. president there to sexual says our sad sack was taken into custody and florida earlier on friday and the f.b.i. has warned there could still be more explosive devices or elizondo has more from new york. after an intense nationwide manhunt the arrest of a florida man who authorities believe is connected to numerous mail bombs sent to high profile people the past few days these are not hoax devices the suspect caesar say och appeared to be a supporter of president donald trump on the site of a van connected to him that authorities confiscated were stickers praising the

president and other stickers of opposing wall makers through the scope of a gun on friday before the suspect was arrested mail bombs were directed at democratic senator cory booker and the former director of national intelligence james clapper previous day's mail bombs have been sent to former presidents bill clinton and barack obama as well as prominent trump critics such as george soros actor robert de niro and john brennan the former head of the cia all the devices looked like this but none detonated early friday trump seemed to cast doubt on the seriousness of the bomb threat saying the news coverage of it was taking away from the upcoming congressional midterm elections republicans are doing so well in early voting and at the polls and now this bomb stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows news not talking politics read part of the tweet democratic lawmaker debbie

wassermann schultz who received a pipe bomb said the president should bear some responsibility when you when people into a frenzy when you carelessly not think about what the impact of your words particularly at the highest level of office in this country then you you are acting grossly irresponsibly well i think i've been toned down you want to know that i could really cut it out because as you know the media has been extremely unfair to me and to the republican party with the pipe bomb suspect now off the streets a sigh of relief that nobody was hurt but still worry that unless a heated political rhetoric is halted next time things could be different gabriels on. new york. i can influence us now from washington d.c. so mike now that and someone has been arrested in fairly quickly what happens next

well obviously the f.b.i. and the police are going to be continuing their investigation they're going to be looking for motive most importantly at this stage they want to establish whether there are any pipe bombs still out there police sources saying that the suspect has not revealed or refuses to reveal whether there are other pipe bombs out there on their way to possible recipients so a lot of legwork stalled by police by f.b.i. key issues here motive but most important of all the pipe bombs under police control and what's do we know about a motive well we don't know very much at all apart from what we've seen in social media for example police are not stating at this stage a what the motive the is the department of justice was asked where the motives have been investigated not at this particular stage but you we have seen on social media the van of the suspect covered with posters clearly this man is

a trump supporters certainly from the way his van is decorated but also what's important is that target list and that snow coincident to any casual observer that each of the people on the target list is somebody who has been virtually attacked by president trump over twitter in recent months so there is a direct relation despite president trump's denial of it between those that president trump has tweeted derogatory about and the list of targets of the alleged suspects all right mike hanna live for us in washington mike thank you. in the news hour and looting a report from jordan where the search goes on for students swept away and flash floods. we want to know where the money's fruit to benefit it will really benefit it well into clear is the name the former prime minister accused of stealing billions from malaysia's state fund speaks to al jazeera and sport formula

operation for seizures using tear gas and ammunition israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made a surprise visit to the gulf state of oman they met oman's ruler sultan qaboos to discuss the middle east peace process the last time an israeli leader visited oman was in one thousand nine hundred six that yahoo's visit comes just days after callisto name president mahmoud abbas made a three day surprise trip three day trip made to this alternate. oman's foreign minister insists his government is not officially mediating. being a minute i love because when it comes to many issues we are not mediate we don't mediate between parties who are capable of achieving what they agree on we facilitate as in many situations that can help convince opposing parties on how to reach an agreement when it comes to the palestinian issue we believe the media to that has to play a new role is the u.s.

and particularly president trump. as a visiting fellow at the brookings institution and former special envoy for israel a palestinian negotiations with the u.s. state department he says not that now who is trying to improve relations with the arab world. 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 a palestinian perspective. i think it's it's tough it's a tough one mahmoud abbas is the palestinian leadership is clearly under pressure of up on the ropes day they're under a lot of pressure from the u.s. they have a lot of lost 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

just finally say from an armani perspective i think this came as a surprise to many i just happened to be on the phone with colleagues in oman 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. at least twenty one people have died after flash floods and jordan most of the victims were children on a school outing near the dead sea delany and sent this report from the scene. search and rescue operations started after daybreak several people were still missing rescuers shores of the dead sea resort area while. the water but with
