a positive consequences. by empowering iran it brought israel and many arab states closer together than ever before 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 president donald trump's attempts to broker what he calls the deal of a century have so far been fruitless stalled after the u.s. moved its embassy to jerusalem but warming ties between israel and its arab neighbors adds pressure to the palestinian leadership to cooperate with a new era of peace talks mohammed d.c. al jazeera search and rescue efforts continue in jordan off to flash flooding killed twenty one people most of the victims were children nearly two thousand

if you and there had been problems with the coalition government obviously into two thousand and fifteen it was a rainbow of parties that came together to form a strong enough political front that could take on the then present by him the rajapaksa who was riding on on a wave of success he had defeated essentially an undefeatable terrorist organization also labeled ltd after almost thirty years of conflict here in sri lanka however towards his second term he became what certain critics said was increasingly sort of dictatorial sort of the benefits of the good will of that victory was kind of losing it's going to pale to compared to the kind of issues that there were indeed to the governance so in terms of that rainbow coalition came together with completely opposite opposing political parties the president my policy saying are teaming up with run of the convincing her of the united national

party now the initial kind of honeymoon period was fine however very quickly different sort of political sort of issues and agendas came to play and the last local government election that they contested as separate parties exposed a lot of rifts and a lot of cracks in that coalition obviously the person who has gained the most is the former president and now prime minister martin the rajapaksa who kept saying that this was not a viable government he did not lose the chance to pick holes in it and show that he did a much better job and that he could if given the chance pick up the pieces so adrian it does come as a surprise that we have a new prime minister literally sworn in as a bolt out of the blue bird in terms of the issues with the government something had to give unfortunately it's taken place with this kind of chaos how long until the parliament is back operating one more time again.

the suspension of parliament which we heard done by the president is going to be for a period of just two weeks so the sixteenth of november is the next date that the house will convene now the former prime minister viktor missing her very adamant that he can prove his majority show his legitimacy if the house is convened he says call up the house convene the house and i'll show my support however the president kind of not willing to sort of second guess anybody again completely unexplained has suspended parliament on to the sixteenth of november effectively what that means is parliament can to kind of vote become a singer concho his strength and the walk all of the new prime minister him setting up his government possibly the swearing in of

a new cabinet will all take place until such time that parliament is convened. thanks very much. taking place in afghanistan's kandahar province of parliamentary elections that were pushed back by one week the delay came after a high level afghan general was killed in a taliban attack the day before polls with due to open the security crisis in afghanistan has been tense after last weekend's parliamentary elections. as a writer and political analyst he says so far the polling has been peaceful. the election is going on today in kandahar it is seventeen districts in one seventy polling stations yet no situation is peaceful the turnout is the public participation is good and did no complaints yet the received

welcome if you're just joining us you're watching news hour on peter these are your top stories saudi arabia says it will prosecute the suspects in the killing of. turkey's demanded the extradition of the eighteen men killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul earlier this month the saudi foreign minister. described the international response to the murder as being hysterical. israeli air strikes have hit more than eighty locations in gaza which the military says to hamas and islamic jihad and israeli spokesman says rocket fire was launched from gaza late on friday and continued into saturday morning in the last hour. down to zero it's agreed to stop rocket fire talks with an egyptian delegation. president suspended parliament

today after suddenly sacking his prime minister president. on friday and replaced him with the former president mahinda rajapaksa political turmoil follows the collapse of the governing coalition. let's return to our top story with a focus on saudi arabia's judicial system the saudis say they will prosecute the suspects joining us today here on. director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies at the institute sultan welcome back the saudi judicial system is it geared up to operate and to function and to handle this case. or clearly the judicial system is a sophisticated system and has dealt with lots of murder case in the past but the issue here is whether they have the right type of evidence to present in the case and of course the way or the gun has been playing it so far is that he has made it

clear to everyone including the president of the ests that he's holding an evidence which is possibly not the sort of evidence that can be permissible in a court of justice it's an evidence that is maybe wired in illegal organs of inch of the vienna convention so they know that he knows they know that he knows where the body is and he has been playing it extremely carefully and cleverly i think he got them first to admit that there was a murder then they talked about the type of murder was it accidental was it divide what happened exactly and now he's pursuing them to get them to admit where the bodies although i suspect he knows exactly where were were where the bodies now in saudi arabia it is very strange that two weeks on they still haven't got those eight hundred fifty people to say were what happened to the but clearly from day

one when they admitted to the murder they also spoken about the body because you don't speak of america without saying what did you do with the with the with the boat is the judiciary and the judicial system in saudi arabia sufficiently independent and not overlapped with the mechanism of state to make sure that they could do it and do it clearly freely in an independent meller. well from what we know of it it is structured as section independently of the state but of course in saudi the way things are organized there is a lot of pressure on all institutions and i think the degree of independence and freedom is are good people some people say no it's not some people yes it is but i think in this particular case given the stakes involved it is very unlikely that they would be able to independently work this through and you can see also every day they rely

a lot and they have to rely on on turkey and the rhetorical exchange between the two states cannot be. more contradictory than it is at the moment from the saudi perspective and man came out few days talking about the great leader of turkey and with as long as he's in power the middle east will move forward and then the turkish president coming out talking accusing them of childish behavior in the way that they're refusing to admit to where the body is so the two languages are not really. balanced and clearly they don't see eye to eye on a lot of those issues would they receive a fair trial if big if if it were to happen in turkey i think. they would probably be. a fairer trial if it happens turkey but. so far i can't see how that would allow it to happen in turkey because they lose total control of the process and knowing what is behind all of this

it's very difficult sultan thank you so much we'll talk to look from sean. let's move on to another top story for you the leaders of germany and turkey have arrived in istanbul for talks on the conflict in syria they will meet with the russian president vladimir putin and the french premium on your macro as the first summit to bring all four countries together to try to find a political solution to the seven year civil war is in order is joining us now from istanbul. is this part of the a stunna process or part of the un geneva process. well neither it is a new format if you like we've had many summits on syria over the past few years and this one is different for the first time members of the so-called small group france and germany are going to sit on the same table with members of the us than

a group russia and turkey russia and turkey and oh billing this as a diplomatic win because they were able to bring the european union on the table but you know expectations are not high the turkish president spokes person saying that they're going to discuss a road map for a political solution and that they're going to discuss the deal but even moscow is saying do not expect breakthroughs during the summit at the end of the day this summit is about one thing and that is all of these countries have concerns about that northwestern province in syria it was supposed to have taken place in september but the summit was never held at the time the syrian government was promising an offensive and europe was very worried because an offensive means a humanitarian catastrophe hundreds of thousands of people made refugees even turkey's president warning that these refugees could reach europe's doorstep and then we have the agreed we have the agreement between russia and turkey this

demilitarized zone to stave off a possible government offensive and the french president himself making it very clear my attendance depends on that deal remaining in place that deal not collapsing and we did hear the germany's chancellor angela merkel spokesman say that we are coming here to make this deal a permanent ceasefire so europe is concerned they do not want to see a new wave of refugees and russia and turkey really holding the cards here and russia and turkey want something from europe and that is money they want europe to pay for syria's reconstruction so these four leaders are going to sit down on the table already one. two one meetings are are being held on the sidelines of the summit when they sit down of on the table there's going to be a lot of bargaining so you know as you're talking to us we're monitoring pictures coming to us from istanbul international airport we're waiting on the russian premier putin disembarking his aircraft we saw pictures earlier on of bangalore

merkel walking into the conference venue i guess is it fair to say that all of this whatever they discussed today will be fed back to bashar al assad and he's obviously feeling quite quite a bully and at the moment because he has rejected the latest central proposal as put to him by stephan de mistura the u.n. and peace envoy to syria. yes peter a short while ago we saw the fundaments to our walk into this conference hall stuff on the mr a brief the u.n. security council just yesterday saying that in one way or the other he failed in his mission he went to damascus this week to try to convince the syrian government to accept the composition of a u.n. committee a u.n. committee that is supposed to draft a new constitution the syrian foreign minister telling him flat out this is a syrian problem and this should be discussed by syrians themselves and we do not

want any foreign intervention interference the russians instead of saying that they are planning to pressure the syrian government to cooperate they say we need to be patient what europe wants is this a u.n. led political process the geneva truck to make progress to move forward and that involves creating this constitutional committee that will lead to elections and they say unless that happens we're not paying money for any reconstruction so yes bush are empowered really because russia has changed the battlefield it is now in his favor it is in the favor of the syrian government what russia is trying to do now is to move to the post war reconstruction phase but he won't be able to do that if europe is not on board. zain thanks very much. as in that was saying there the turkish president mr erdogan will be there we are expecting him at some point during his attendance of that conference about syria to give us his reaction to what the saudis have been saying in the latest installment of what they have been

here in the other asian native he has asked his followers to remain quiet until be election day but he also attacked by that on twitter saying that he's being run by a man that is currently in prison referring to former president we see now see a little fever right now there's a twelve point difference between both candidates tonight who has lost around six points in the last polls and in the last few days he has moderated in a way his discourse saying that for example there won't be a war with venezuela that he's ready to work with the united nations in the past he said that brazil would leave the organization saying that it feels that with communists both candidates were supposed to have a debate this friday but it was canceled because one sort out has said that he won't attend this is the first time that something like this happened since brazil return to democracy in one nine hundred eighty five several thousand migrants and refugees heading north towards the u.s. border turned off for them to stay on friday the president and then yet to announce

a plan for those who apply for refugee status in mexico's to self in most states more than seventeen hundred. people have already applied but others rejected the offer and said they continue their track towards the border with the united states . the indonesian government has declared an end to the emergency response phase after last month's quake and tsunami the worst hit region is facing a public health crisis heavy monsoon rains are threatening to spread disease two thousand people were killed in the disaster according to the most recent estimates from the united nations nearly all those deaths were in the area of pallu the u.n. says one thousand and seventy five people are still missing or remain unaccounted for after entire neighborhoods were destroyed and more than two hundred eleven thousand displaced people have been forced to live in settlements and camps across central sulawesi province where with large parts of the island still in ruins the focus is switching to rehabilitation and reconstruction the government says it will

look at the stability of the land before it decides where to rebuild where in haiti is impala symbols of pride and strength still flood amid vast wastelands of destruction it's been four weeks since the earthquake turned this suburb of power loose city into a muddy graveyard where many bodies are still buried when the earthquake struck these communities largely disappeared in a process called liquefaction when the earth beneath the surface turned to mud swallowing people and buildings it's an inhospitable landscape but as traumatized as survivors are some want to return to rebuild here even when they see that a hole in the ground is all that remains of their home. so i'm so terrified when i see this place my children said mom once the government clears up we should just move back in we don't have to build a permanent house we can just use word so i finally agreed i have to follow my

children we don't have anywhere else to live so who just come back here. that may not be their decision to make though if the government goes ahead with a new master plan to rebuild the city. those that used to live in this suburb of and a neighboring community will be relocated the government says the ground is too unstable to rebuild here which it seems has always been the case since the disaster it's emerged that the government knew areas like this were particularly dangerous six years ago its own experts drew a map of city highlighting areas where there was a high risk of liquefaction occurring in an earthquake this was one of those so-called red zones where hundreds if not thousands of people died local government leaders wouldn't give al-jazeera an interview experts say the map should now be studied very closely as part of rehabilitation which is expected to cost almost one point five billion dollars.
