once we know who is behind the stage and what the links are we will strive to have a joint european reaction to show we act from a common basis of values it plays on it one issue for me things a clear firstly some of the facts have been established we must fully investigate a nation of these facts and who's responsible sanctions must be taken on this basis and these sanctions must be coherent and complete and be extremely concrete and proportional it would depend on the facts to say established and the sanctions will be taken at a european level as we usually do so that there is true coordination but if so the prosecutor will arrive in istanbul in the coming hours it's got he'll outline for the turkish authorities the case against a country being held there in connection with the coup showed to killing these also expected to face pressure to extradite them here to talking with the offense took place earlier so these foreign minister ruled out any extradition on the issue of

extradition of the individuals of saudi nationals to detain two hundred was investigation since one year and they will be prosecuted internally at the same conference the u.s. defense secretary said because shoji killing undermines security across the region failure of any one nation to adhere to international norms and the rule of law undermine regional stability at a time when it is needed most turkey is growing frustrated with despite public commitments to help any investigation we still don't know where jamal khashoggi body is and who was the mystery local cooperator as the saudis described him who helped dispose of the body and does he really exist all questions the saudi prosecutor will have to answer when he sits stone face to face with his turkish counterpart so the saudi chief prosecutor alan is going to be arriving soon obviously there will be a lot of questions to count on what is the latest in the investigation.

while they continued to try to find out where jamal khashoggi body is that is the thing that is exercising the turks to the largest degree at this point they say very simply loot for a long time the third so dear arabians denied that jamal khashoggi was dead and then under international pressure they finally said yes we killed him it was a fight gone wrong and a local collaborator helped dispose of the body while the touch want to know who was this turkish citizen who was involved in this incident give us a name we want to be able to speak to him and there is growing suspicion in turkey that this person doesn't actually exist that the saudi arabians would never have given such a task to an outsider that they want to keep it within for want of a better phrase a circle of trust and so the also want to know if they're looking for a body or to put it bluntly body parts sure remember that one of the so-called hit

team that arrived was cutting a bone saw the reason to dismember jamal khashoggi and so they want to know where to look and what they're actually looking for and they say while the saudis continue to say publicly we are doing all we can to help but they won't provide this basic information then they are not doing what they said they would do all the asli they still want the eighteen people who are currently being held in saudi arabia to come here to turkey to face justice they believe that a court with international observers could do the job that suggests that turkey doesn't believe that saudi arabia is going to follow through with prosecutions and more importantly i'm not going to ask the question of these eighteen people who ordered the death of jamal khashoggi all right alan fischer live for us in istanbul allan thank you. plenty more had in the news hour including the man known as for sills donald trump looks set to trounce has left his challenger in sunday's presidential election but his opponent still holds out

a glimmer of hope i'll tell you why two prime ministers no parliament and a deepening political crisis in sri lanka. and coming up and support each other and although once again produces something special to sentiment is further clear to the top of the italian leaks on it will have the details and if. the leaders of france germany turkey and russia have held talks to find a way to end the war in syria speaking at a major summit in istanbul they call for syrians to leave the way and the stablish in peace and a new constitution that would pave the way for elections but is a knowhow to report from istanbul major divisions remain on their approaches to end the conflict. it is a fresh effort in diplomacy it is also a new approach for the first time the main power brokers in syria's war russia and turkey have brought european countries to their table the host turkey's president

or the gun held one on one meetings on the sidelines of the summit with german chancellor angela merkel russian president vladimir putin and french president manuel mccall but who was not present was just as significant mccraw however did discuss with putin the possibility of arranging a high level meeting between russian and american officials in paris. the more countries to join the process the quick ivory if we will reach a permanent solution. but even among these players there was little consensus russia continuing to undercut the u.n. and emphasizing the role of the syrian government in any future decisions putin was clearly angry about his inability to legitimize president bashar assad's hold on power in the ocean with then i will have. to make this process successful it must be carried out in a peaceful way with respect to the bottom of the government of the syrian republic people use the expression syrian regime but we must remember the un resolution

refers to the government of the syrian arab republic the west wants damascus and its allies to cooperate with the un led political process that calls for reforming the constitution and holding elections. ten months after the meeting itself chief the constitutional committee has yet to take up its work that's why we want the list of interested parties to be fine lines by the end of the year so that a meeting can take place europe worried about a new wave of refugees wanted a commitment from russia and turkey for a permanent ceasefire they didn't get that. i hope this gives the political process a set momentum and will continue to do everything in our power to ensure that is lead to a peaceful solution and doesn't end up in another humanitarian disaster. france's u.n. ambassador summed up the situation syria he says is at a crossroads there can either be an escalation or there can be political momentum

starting with an agreement on a un committee to rewrite syria's constitution but syria's government is refusing to cooperate and russia which has a crucial role is urging patience while there's still a long way from reaching an internationally back political deal there is hope the summit could pave the way for a new diplomatic track one that would bring more players on board but that would mean even more agendas and interests would need to be considered so. istanbul. specializes in arab and islamic affairs at the new america foundation he joins us via skype from los angeles so there are still so many unresolved issues what is the major one as you see it. well today the main one of the major issues is the constitution the u.n. special representative stefan the mistura was empowered by the un to set up our panel of experts drop the constitution and recently the for the form of the syrian

foreign minister told him that that's not going to happen when i can accept these people so about something as basic as is writing a new constitution the syrian government has ruled out there's really not much for the world powers to do if the syrian government is going to accept any type of peace negotiation and and honestly what what reason would bashar assad have to agree to that he actually has no and sense of security so why he won the war when the russians got involved in september two thousand fifty the bombing campaign they have effectively rolled up the rebels on the one pocket math and give them their president good government control of most of the country the kurds control a bit longer part of the country about a third the country in the at they are pro government as well so he has no incentive to make any concessions at this hour what do you see and eventually at some point being a resolution to how to deal with a realistic solution. wanting to put this at the resolution is who

she is going to be between two powers the russians who works actively control the skies and there are on the border pros on the regimes outside of that and then the turks who control the rebel controlled enclaves in in getting it live they they are of the area they control the peace so the true power that are going to come to some type of long term arrangement and we've seen that with the demilitarization the movement of heavy weapons are the two countries they negotiate and make decisions and then they impose as much they can on their proxies so there are or no syrian grapes at this summit there often aren't any at any of these talks what is what are these exercises about. well this this meeting you some pool was an extension of the experiment process the russians the church your army its star you conference but what's important about it is it really brings in the world powers as if we germany france two of the most important european powers to the

table have some type of negotiations and even more importantly it isolates and marginalizes the united states the united states was not present there the first united states was not their wants because president trump is an america first or he does not want to get involved in fair breaks you have to focus on the united states so this was a big big step today symbolically if there is a peace conference in the country and united states not imperilled ok parfait thank you so much for your time appreciate it thanks for having the helicopter belonging to the owner of the english premier league football club leicester city has crashed shortly after taking off from the team stadium a helicopter went into a span and came down in the carpark where burst into flames about an hour after the side to match with west ham it is not known yet whether the thai owner of a shy see what on a problem was on board but he had been at the match as storage building and the

tournaments to marcus and the saudi foreign minister has rejected calls to extradite the suspects to turkey think they will be tried in fatty arabia more now on the murder of democracy giorgio coffee areas a chief executive of gulf state analytics he joins us from washington d.c. thank you so much for your time so this push from turkey to have these suspects extradited from saudi arabia is that actually going to happen it's very clear that the leadership in riyadh is not going to do so. we heard from his saudi arabia's chief diplomat that the saudi government will these suspects tried in the kingdom and this of course it's directly against on current given the fact that turkey's president is demanding that these suspects be

tried in turkey this is from the turkish leadership's perspective in the issue about turkish sovereignty the question of sovereignty is one that's always very sensitive in turkey right now and i think this has a lot of potential to prevent the two states from finding a. a face saving way to overcome the saga that has resulted from this murder case so. well it seems like those as you're saying that that turkey will probably lose that round but do they still have leverage do they still have the upper hand here. we'll it's very clear that the turks are in a position to apply more pressure on saudi arabia it's clear that over the past two weeks this is been this strategy in part of on could and without the cooperation from saudi arabia that turkey's government is demanding i think we're

going to see more pressure coming from the turkish leadership. on was. at least friendly if not friends with jamal khashoggi assistance and my personal to him. salute lee the two of them included had a friendship and the fact that there was this plot to murder him in saudi arabia's consulates one of their consulates in turkey it's extremely offensive from one standpoint as well as from the standpoint of many in turkey. we also need to keep in mind that according to a very common narrative in turkey saudi arabia and some other states in the region had a hand in the failed to coupe lot of two thousand and sixteen so this issue of other states in the region including saudi arabia not respecting turkey's sovereignty is very much in play right now so there are a lot of things that play

a lot of political dynamics at play. might this tension between them get worse and my that to get in the way of getting to the truth of what happened to jamal khashoggi. absolutely what is unfortunate right now is that many people believe. also accusing the crown prince of saudi arabia the country's de facto ruler mohamed bin so mon of playing some sort of role in the murder of this saudi journalist given the fact that we have no reason to expect the conclusion of this investigation in saudi arabia to result in m.b.a.'s being held accountable it's going to be very difficult for us to imagine officials in on current as well as officials in washington except ng saudi investigation as the final word on this case there would likely be

a perception that the crown prince bears responsibility and that the saudi government is not holding him accountable george erica fareed joining us from washington d.c. thank you very much. israel launched airstrikes overnight on friday hitting more than eighty locations in gaza after it says rockets were fired from there and to southern israel israelis say they hit targets linked to hamas and islamic jihad but i'd tell him made reports unless truth. it was a tense night on both sides of the border rockets more than thirty fired from gaza into southern israel islamic jihad claimed responsibility for those it's the second largest faction in gaza israel responded with airstrikes in and around the strip most of the targets including a security headquarters building in gaza city where hamas positions in installations according to the israeli army israel says it holds hammers

syria basically saying that this leverage you had were following orders from tehran now this all comes at a time where it seems that hamas and israel through egyptian mediation are making progress in reaching an agreement on a long term ceasefire. come seems to have returned on both sides after egyptian diplomatic efforts to avoid further escalation leading to islamic jihad to declare a cease fire as long as israel abides by it to the death of them so you must green the gypsy. thankfully intervened and existed huge efforts between the resistance factions in gaza and the zionist occupation that the egyptian if it's led to understanding is to restore calm to the gaza strip the israel hasn't responded yet at least not publicly you know you could do is burying their dead it might come too late with many in gaza welcome dno spent of a cease fire even if it's only temporary the good up in how many soldiers here in

israel and what they've got rejection we have now mr trump in washington who is totally against the palestinians and he thrown us not under the bus under the steamroller this visit i think and we're all here to get crystal ball has to do with iran not to do with the palestinians. sultan qaboos is a very clever and astute arabic leader he's the only one actually who who can carry the leader and he he has his country his country's interests at heart and he pulls it both urgent himself as a friend of iran friend of the palestinians immediately between all the fighting the fighting fat states of the gulf the g.c.c. and maybe it's just maybe this is all speculation that america has told.

saudi card it's over to play it is finished after what we've just heard in the news about mr fleischer about benteke where it was. time to find a new avenue towards. maybe an operation. or conciliation between israel and iran and they use the sultan qaboos who is a very close to iran. sure long as political crisis has deepened a day after the president fired the prime minister is now also suspended parliament the new prime minister mahinda rajapaksa took over on friday but his predecessor insists he's still in power and often and as has more from colombo. sri lankans will cop to a political earthquake president might a palace city senior sworn in his former boss mind the rajapaksa as the new prime minister on friday taking everyone by surprise this was after all
