to be tried in turkey the country's justice ministry submitted an extradition request to saudi arabia for the eighteen arrested men the senior turkish official told this was requested because jamal khashoggi was murdered in turkey by saudi nationals who travel to turkey for this specific purpose in his speech earlier earlier ones message was clear he said if you can't make them talk then send them to turkey and we will put them on trial here. al-jazeera is stumble. on that interview. television. was critical of how the u.s. has handled the case. trump invited me to the united states during the first days of the process but his statements had very short time periods in between and they were contradictory i perceived it as a statement to win the sympathy of the public alan fischer joins us now from

istanbul so a lot of developments in the last day allan what should we be looking for next. well i think over the next forty eight hours we should watch to see what comes from the turkish side president and the one said when he was speaking a few hours ago that they had more information something that we've always suspected and he said he would use it when it was of most benefit essentially to turkey no we know that the saudi prosecutor is jew in istanbul in forty eight hours on sunday and the turks me well released some information before then to put pressure on him you know the expect this saudi prosecutor not to come up with a great deal of information but they're saying look we want to extradite these eighteen people from saudi arabia and that extradition order has already been processed by the justice department here it's been passed on to the foreign ministry and will go through the normal diplomatic channels the intention is they want those eighteen saudis to stand trial here in turkey with international
7:35 am
observers and they see the will face any consequences if they're found guilty no the turks also want to find out who the local cooperate are as the saudis call them was the person that they said was given the task of disposing of the body and that is their primary objective at the moment to find the body or body parts of jamal khashoggi remember they were saying that someone on with a bone saw was part of that fifteen month team that came in to turkey just a few hours before jamal khashoggi disappears so the fear that he has been dismembered and of course one of the places they want to check is at the consul general's home which is just a short walk from where i'm standing know they've been in the garden of that house the sported a well they've tested some of the water but when they wanted to send a specialist team the six meters down into the well the saudis objected they said that their name wasn't on the warrant that they didn't have permission to be there and therefore they would have to go through the whole process again and that has
7:36 am
for straighted the turks something the president had to want talked about a few hours ago when he said that the saudis are talking about cooperation but they're not. always giving the cooperation that they promised so it's going to be a very interesting forty eight hours we also of course new that we've heard from jamal could should use fiancee as she spoke not giving as much new information but certainly spoke a motion really about her feel and see if that was interesting that would certainly give her some more public sympathy not just here but around the world is that interview has been watched by many many people and interestingly enough she said that jamal khashoggi is wish when they talked about the future together he did see if i ever die if i ever pass away please will you make sure that my body is sent back to my hometown of medina in saudi arabia to be buried all right alan fischer live for us in istanbul allan thank you a man has been held in the united states on suspicion of sending at least thirteen

pipe bombs to a high profile critics of president onil trump if you central says are say i was arrested in florida earlier on friday it's revealed he is a supporter of president trump the f.b.i. has warned that there could still be more devices that haven't been discovered yet every 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
7:38 am
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 would 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
7:39 am
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't join us live now from washington d.c. so mike and someone is in custody as we have been reporting so what happens next well he is facing five federal charges at this particular point these include threats against former presidents assaults against current and former federal officials as well as sending explosives through the mail so the charges are lined up more details are emerging about the suspect though one of which indicates that
7:40 am
he had a twitter account and those who were sent to pipe bombs featured prominently in his twitter account what also features on his twitter account is frequent reference to president trump who we obviously in those tweets greatly admires and strongly supports. and i think so what do we know about a motive. but once again the motive at the moment is something that is being investigated by the f.b.i. by the police on the face of it though clearly from the nature of the targets these were all democrat forces and most all liberal business people in other cases but the other commonality that runs between all of those who would talk to with these pipe bombs is that they've all been mentioned by president trump in tweets in recent months so this does appear to be
7:41 am
a strong correlation between the target selected by the alleged bomber and president trump himself this completely denied by president trump he's continued to say throughout the day that there is no connection that it is the media who are responsible and in the last few minutes speaking at a campaign rally president trump has doubled down on this saying that the media is using the efforts of a sinister person to cause bad light on him and the republican party so president trying trying to turn this around and indicated in the coverage of these bombings or attempted bombings as part of a campaign against him personally and the republican party in general mike hanna live for us in washington mike thank you so have an al-jazeera report from jordan where the search goes on for students still missing after thursday's flash floods. we want to know where the money's ruutu who benefited who really benefit it found

7:43 am
a lot of dry weather to be found here as well the philippines but largely we're just seeing a few showers in the far south they'll still be with us i think as we head through the next few days and elsewhere below yes there will be some showers there should also be some good spells of sunshine in between as well so most of us should see a good mix over the next few days if you get out towards the west lots of bright weather hey just a few showers in the fall southern parts of india and sri sri lanka and we're still going to see more wet weather here as we head through the next few days we've also got this feature in the bay of bengal that's working its way towards the eastern parts of india where we reach many of us just yet though and ahead of that it should stay fine and dry is still quite warm for many of us to thirty one in new delhi the wind sponsored by qatar airways.

watching al jazeera let's recap the top stories for you now prosecutor has demanded the extradition of eighteen suspects from saudi arabia for the killing of. us also mounting on riyadh to reveal the location of his body ex-president call saudi explanations so far comical and childish. fiance has given her first television
7:45 am
interview more than three weeks after the saudi journalist murder and istanbul a date she just was critical of how the u.s. has handled the case she has rejected an invitation for president donald trump to visit the white house a man from florida has been charged on suspicion of sending mail bombs to prominent critics of u.s. president on a trial that the six year old says are say august accused of targeting at least thirteen people including former president barack obama the f.b.i. says the packages were not hoax devices and that more could be found. at least five palestinian protesters were killed by israeli soldiers along the gaza israel border fence or than sixteen thousand palestinians gathered there on friday later several rockets were fired from gaza into israel every friday since march thirtieth alison ians have been holding protests along the fence sense then israeli forces have killed at least two hundred seven palestinians and a palestinian man has been killed and nine others injured after israeli forces
7:46 am
opened fire on protesters in the occupied west bank the palestinian health ministry said the man died after being shot in the back another man remains in serious condition after being shot in the head israeli army says they responded with standard operation procedure issues in tear gas and ammunition israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has made a surprise visit to the gulf state of oman. ruler sultan qaboos to discuss the middle east peace process the last time an israeli leader visited oman was in one thousand nine hundred eighty six and now his visit comes just days after palestinian president mahmoud abbas made a three day trip to this alternate of on's foreign minister insists his government is not officially mediating there who will be in a mood to look because when it comes to many issues we are not mediate we don't mediate between parties who are capable of achieving what do you agree on. facilitate in many situations that can help convince opposing parties on how to
7:47 am
reach an agreement when it comes to the palestinian issue we believe the media to has to play a new role is the u.s. and particularly president. hadi amr is a visiting fellow at the brookings institution and a former special envoy for israeli palestinian negotiations with the u.s. state department he says netanyahu 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 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 tough it's a tough one mahmoud abbas is the palestinian leadership is clearly under pressure
7:48 am
of up on the ropes they're under a lot of pressure from the u.s. they have water 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 a 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 search and rescue operations are still underway and you're the dead sea in jordan after flash floods there killed at least twenty one people most of the victims were children on a school outing me set this report from the scene search and rescue operations
