adrian certainly one of the listeners of his definitely going to meet with his to counterpart to discuss the killing. and he's going to be pretty much about two major things here the turkish government says that it would like to get more clarity about what happened to them out of house of g. who is responsible and number two they would like the body of the saudis to say that he has been handed over to a local collaborator the turkish insist they need to know who is that band and where is the body so. is the saudi general prosecutor he's the man who issued the most important statements over the last few days basically about the arrest of the eighteen suspects and also about saying that the killing of the model how serious it was premeditated which was a dramatic shift in the saudi narrative about the case of the amount of houses i think the judicial aspect of the stories definitely going to top the agenda of the

sunday and the turkish prosecutors when they meet today meanwhile as we were hearing a few moments ago international pressure on the saudi arabians shows few signs of easing action. and this could be a signal that it is definitely going to be the face mounting international pressure that could force the saudis third into coming out and giving a detailed account about what happened now we've seen that shift in the narrative from this was a brawl that went terribly wrong into this is it was a premeditated thing that they were saying that it all falls into the responsibility of people like the city adviser to the crown prince mohammed bin said mansour that got plenty on all of the major general ahmed i.c.d. the intelligence deputy chief but the international community is still insisting on

who gave the final order and who is the want to be held accountable politically about do this to the death of. so i think if that momentum continues to build up it could be an important factor in pushing the saudis to words put in until this whole saga and establishing facts telling the international community who is to blame for the killing of. and this explains every one of the same time why the turkish authorities saying that we would like to know exactly who is responsible because we do hold some of the key crucial elements of the investigation we know exactly what happened but we want the saudis to come forth to us and tell us exactly what happened inside the consulate and who was the one who said kill some out of hussy. many thanks. live in istanbul

we're going to weather up. outside a stadium. where it's been a month since an earthquake and tsunami left more than two thousand people dead in some areas beginning to get back to normal and it's clear much work is still to be done before affected areas can truly recover. however well as we say good bye to the summer time we're saying goodbye to hit the volume across the western side of europe we've got so northerly winds of blasting down some wintry showers there across the british isles line of cloud here introducing colder air down across a good parts of northern europe meeting up with some warmer weather that we have

into southern most possible as i will look at a level three cells just there for madrid northeasterly wind then over pleasant one a cross a good part of england and into wells but twenty celsius there for right where that warmer air meets that cold dig of where the warmest falls to rise it goes condenses goes is the right over the high ground it causes some snow was so there is some snow around the alps still some snow a possibility just around the pyrenees a little more so as we go on into monday london struggles to get to nine celsius struggling to get to six degrees as the top temperature in paris was to get to twenty one in rome really a messy picture there across a good part of century of flooding sunny a possibility with new lively storms coming through and you come across the other side of the med and it doesn't look too clever across far northwest of libya into parts of tunisia but some really heavy rain could also bring some localized flooding into northern parts of algeria and morocco.

when leicester city unexpectedly claimed the english premier league title in twenty sixteen. into the sea and cities facing a public health crisis exactly a month after being devastated by an earthquake and tsunami to rachael ray now threatens to spread malaria and dengue fever in pali more than two thousand two hundred people died tens of thousands have been left homeless by the disaster so if you lived out apollo was there as way in haiti is there a way to help people be marking this one month anniversary. but i think adrian to a large extent it is simply too soon to be thinking about commemorating this disaster that happened albeit four weeks ago for most people in the affected areas it's very raw from the government's point of view there are no plans to officially commemorate the four week anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami their focus is very much on rehabilitation and reconstruction right now something that they of

course will want to get right given that there was so much criticism of the government for its slow response in the in the immediate aftermath of the disaster and for survivors of the earthquake and tsunami it is about processing still what has happened to them and how they begin to rebuild their lives. in the ashes of disaster some can find value even a month on in the ruins there's no shortage of scrap that can provide income which for so many people was taken away by the earthquake and tsunami. the indonesian government's emergency response space has come to an end meaning the search for bodies has finished which many here believe was done too soon. and his wife who working on the beach when the tsunami struck their three year old son is still missing and. will no money. look the refugee camps i went all around the mountains have been everywhere and i can't find them i've looked for almost

a mum. it stalled there may be thousands of people still unaccounted for but the government said it had no choice but to call off the search really believe if you continue your question it will be counterproductive because you know when you get the body also it will be a health problem for the health is one of the main concerns for survivors with more than two hundred thousand displaced many living in camps with poor sanitation and approaching rainy season will increase the risk of outbreaks of dengue fever or malaria. slightly more study shelters are being built on the outskirts of palu when many of those left homeless will need to stay for a long time in some of the affected areas life is back to normal markets are flourishing once again in others little has changed since the earthquake with the remains of buildings left to wait for the wrecking machines people affected by this disaster will of course need ongoing support and rehabilitating the surrounding

areas properly will be a slow process the concern is that indonesia is a disaster prone country meaning that attention and resources may soon be diverted elsewhere if that happens plans for a better safer city may be put to the side in favor of a quick rebuild but for so many survivors there's no contemplating the future just yet it's still about trying to comprehend what happens. i still don't have a job i don't know what kind of work i'm still confused i want to keep looking for my son but i don't know where else to go or we haven't gone to stay in a refugee camp yet because i'm still focusing on finding my son. in central sulawesi a lingering sense of shock and despair is mixed with the beginning of recovery from a distance that day and city a calm now but survivors will never forget the destruction unleashed a month ago and those they lost. yes well

still so many heartbreaking stories around the affected areas in central silhouettes away see i have to say that on the waterfront here where those huge waves came crashing ashore four weeks ago it is very quiet at the moment it is sunday here it is a day off occasionally people still come through here picking through whatever rubble is left to try to find items of value but as far as any official cleanup goes here nothing really has changed since the disaster struck as i say the government's focus now on reconstruction rehabilitation they're looking at the road network making sure that can be back to its best as soon as possible getting as many schools open as quickly as possible and also on the medical facilities some forty five medical facilities around this region were affected by the earthquake nine of them seriously damaged and with that rainy season coming the conditions inside those refugee camps getting worse by the day in terms of health risks they want to get those medical facilities up and running as best they can as soon as

they can that is certainly one of the main focuses going forward adrian when many saying sounds a serious way to pay their lives in part to the leaders of france germany turkey and russia have made little progress during talks on syria in istanbul emerged with a joint statement saying that they're committed to finding a political solution to the seventy awards but as in the heart of reports now they still can't agree on how 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 finalized 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 in 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 backed 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. has a historic building in the limas capital peru a woman was rescued no deaths were reported it's thought to have been caused by a gas leak or faulty wiring the structure known for its classical european architecture was built in the early twentieth century. fishermen in kenya have hung up their nets near instead trying to conserve marine life. reef rangers they've been trying to monitor fish stocks and their habitats. catherine sawyer reports from pasay island. meet the island's refrain there were one fisherman in lima county's largest island on the kenyan coast depleted fish stocks pushed them to swap roles and become protectors of the ocean most islanders depend on for their

on out of here after inside story next. every reclaim the cycle brings a series of breaking stories they're listening pounced as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they recruit on the stories that matter the most they're listening to on alex's neera. what impact will jamal khashoggi as murder have on the middle east the u.s. says it undermines stability the saudis describe the global outcry over the killing as hysterical so who's the real catalyst for the turmoil in this volatile region this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program on iraq on the murder of saudi journalist of all khashoggi in turkey is threatening the stability of the entire middle east that's

the view of the u.s. secretary of defense james mattis who says washington is ready to take more action against those responsible these about it's already in place for twenty one suspects in the case saudi arabia is under mounting pressure to explain exactly what happened at its consulate in istanbul it's reported that the evidence links the murder of khashoggi directly to the office of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon a charge riyadh denies we'll get to our guests shortly but first let's hear from the u.s. secretary of defense from a conference in bahrain when people can speak can be heard calling for peace and for respect for all the terrorists best each of hatred and violence is not embrace with our collective interest in peace and waiver in respect for human rights in mind the murder of democracy in a diplomatic facility much concern us all greatly. as u.s.

secretary of state pompei ocean dated the united states does not tolerate this kind of ruthless action to silence it took a show good journalist through violence. the 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 as president trump noted we're going to get to the bottom of it. at the same conference saudi foreign minister i'll criticize media reactions occur. urging people not to jump to conclusions this issue has become fairly hysterical i think people have assigned blame on saudi arabia was such certainty before the investigation is complete we have made it very clear that we are in going to have a full and transparent investigation to results of which will be released we have made it very clear that those responsible will be held responsible and will be held to account and we have made it very clear that we will put in place mechanisms to

ensure that this doesn't happen again turkey wants the suspects extradited to stand trial and all her. says they'll be dealt with in saudi arabia. on the issue of the extradition of the individuals of saudi nationals to detained and sundry because investigation since had given and they will be prosecuted in saudi arabia i think that's bringing a punt all joining us in doha and sorry professor of political science at qatar university in kuwait city shifty hubba professor of political science at q eight university in washington d.c. hillary mann leverett form a u.s. state department and white house official welcome to you all i'd like to start with you hillary mann leverett in washington d.c. regional stability is threatened that's the view from the u.s. secretary of defense what does he mean by that that that's a great question there is not

a lot of certainty here with the messages coming out of the administration whether it's secretary mabus in bahrain very recently or the messages coming out of secretary of state pompei or president trump himself but for secretary mabus to say that the killing of. represents potentially a threat to regional security is an almost unprecedented statement from a sect a u.s. secretary of defense about saudi arabia that kind of language is usually almost always reserved for in today's age for iran or you know that decades ago for iraq under saddam hussein so it's a number precedented use of the term. to threaten regional stability whether that means that saudi arabia is an immediate imminent threat that could be the subject of a united nations security council resolution or it's just secretary mabus trying to lay down the marker that washington in the white house are very upset about saudi

behavior that's unclear but it is on an almost unprecedented phrase to use about saudi arabia coming from washington moglen sorry what do you think. the secretary of defense's comments said it was you know almost unprecedented to hear that kind of language do you agree yes i agree and it's certainly quite peculiar that this happens in behind and effectively a proxy of saudi arabia this happening there with the did and secretary saying this very bluntly on this day show that there is a clear indication by the trump administration that unless the saudis take a real initiative in solving this issue in a matter that would say face for the american mistaken as it would for the house of so there's no light at the end of the tunnel and i think that there are a couple of messages that went out from the white house from matters now pompeo before that and they're even the way that the administration has been dealing with this on a diplomatic level it is very clear that the americans are quite unhappy with what's happening they cannot sweep it under the rug as they usually do and they

need to do something about what does that something look like hillary mann leverett see you what does that something that the u.s. administration should do what does that look like. well that's also a question that is being debated for the first time in my memory and i have served in and out of the u.s. government for more than for more than twenty five years it's the first time that there is a real discussion is sharp discussion in washington about what you do about saudi behavior we did not even have a discussion like this after the nine eleven attacks back in two thousand and one but for the first time you have people on the hill on capitol hill in the senate like senator lindsey graham essentially calling for regime change and he's not the only one you have voices like that on capitol hill you have some of those even within the u.s. intelligence services and even within the u.s. defense department this is really an unprecedented level of discussion and quit

a really critical eye toward saudi behavior and it's that the jamal khashoggi killing in itself is horrific but that the concern is that it's really the last straw that saudi behavior under crown prince mohammed bin some on whether it's toward yemen towards cutter toward canada syria the whole range of issues is an example of or really. the epitome of reckless behavior that endangers u.s. interests so in terms of what the united states is is going to do or can do the options are not there not great for the united states there's concern here about losing or do you rallying the economic relationship the military relationship but for the first time there is a real question about whether the united states can continue to support the ascension of crown prince mohammed to become king that is really an unprecedented discussion inside washington again usually reserved for discussions about iran or decades past about iraq under saddam hussein but that is one of the questions being

discussed the other is what other kinds of sanctions can be imposed that would not hurt the united states economically there really aren't that many are there any other kind. didn't diminish in a visit for example to not have as many political or military visits and again secretary mad as going to the region going to bahrain not going to saudi arabia is an important signal of u.s. and happiness but there's not that much the united states can do practically that's under discussion here the real remarkable thing is that there is even discussion in plight company about whether or not the united states can support the ascension of crown prince mohammed to become become king of saudi arabia let's bring shift in here from kuwait city we seem to be hearing that the options are limited for the u.s. in terms of what they can actually do well so hearing that it's a very difficult to support the ascension of crown prince mohammed bin solomon to

the rule throne what's your view do you think the options are limited or do you think the u.s. needs to get tough and stop the ascension of the crown prince it's very hard to to say what that action things will go but. i can see is that the assessing nation the way it happened of your mother has opened. an entire new remick situation that so many questions are us and this does have regional implications on human rights if you go back to two thousand and eleven that a population is one to change one to democracy one to fight dissipation wanted to have a say and wanted to be able to say that opinion and yet be protected and that particular arab spring was messy brutally was. kind of a contest of illusion came against it so what happened was. those hours that you

might it is a major issue in that of well and today in saudi arabia. module and so on sorry let me bring you in here it seems to be that there are several discussions going on there is the human rights violations there is ascension and there is what the u.s. can really do does this present with an opportunity to really press its case when it comes to the blockade for example with the u.s. and with saudi arabia what discount that if you have well let me just say one thing in the beginning which is that it's very difficult to link the two cases together they assassination of the and the blockade and cut by many people have been trying to do that through a thing that saudi arabia has requested get them to mediate between it and turkey i don't see this happening if there's no easy explanation for the through meds but they settle a theme to be only rumors. however certainly a halt to the saudi and iraqi project in the region is going to be beneficial for

up one of the victims of. saudi. a. movement in the region we've seen how the saudis and the mighty bookit of qatar we've seen how they went to war in yemen now they've done a lot of things in the region however that it will certainly be beneficial for but i think as you know some tightening up their hopes around saudi arabia especially around have been sad man himself however that is also an incident of the the look of the moment for qaddafi and how do you moment for half of what i said at the time it's not unprecedented meaning that these two incidents also occurred in a similar fashion the new thing here is that this is happening not when a leader that has been there for a while that has been understood to be against weston dr against western wishes but this is somebody who is a close ally to washington who was a close ally to the west who considered himself to be a former marketing himself actually in the west as somebody who can exact change in

saudi arabia that is to make it more similar to the western context so. certainly it is a chance to wear some tensions in the region however there is no direct contact between what is happening to saudi arabia now and the situation with other well let's take a look at the region global attention has been focused on a number of issues in the middle east by includes the war in yemen which began in two thousand and fifteen and has saudi arabia and the united arab emirates heading a coalition fighting who view rebels leading to what the u.n. calls the world's worst humanitarian crisis last year saudi arabia the u.a.e. egypt and bahrain imposed a land sea and air blockade on cut there which continues today threatening the unity of the gulf cooperation council and tensions been growing between saudi arabia and iran with each other accusing the other of interfering. in arab countries internal affairs so when we are taking a look at everything that the saudis are doing i just want to this question if it

doesn't present an opportunity with the us does it present marginal and soaring opportunity with saudi arabia is that report available the blockade be lifted through something like this well if i was designing saudi policy and thankfully i'm not but if i was doing so i would certainly consider this to be a very difficult to pull moment in time to enact such change in the file because it will be looked at as a complete failure of the saudi foreign policy in all respects the heart of using a one side going for down from the t. on the other issue on the other hand i would actually strengthen my resolve to continue the blockade. however we must not forget that this also is there a close now to the conference or the meeting that the g.c.c. leaders and trump will be having in january things that we have been hearing now for for a while and i think only two days ago there is actually assured that this will be taking place so certainly the americans would like to pressure the saudis now to

come down from the tree to lessen its. procedures against it to think any think its position towards the region however as things stand right now i think the thout saudis and the market will be very keen on establishing. a very specific and strong stance against about because they don't want this to be looked at as a complete you know. from their policy we can also see that during the past couple of days there were a lot of talk about a change in their attic coming out from saudi arabia we've had the crown prince talking about that as an economic success after of course saudi media spent a year and a half talking about the economy failing altogether we've seen now also either it's back today calling the crisis without a diplomatic conflict rather than you know a crisis or boycott as it was called by him before so there is a change of language there. the haney thirty for example said there was nothing banning joint family joke i've been visiting each other all this changing language

i think it's just paving the way for the january summit rather then talking about change in the crisis status quo i'm very keen to hear all of your thoughts on some of what marginal and sorry is said but let's talk about the saudi foreign secretary in particular village a bit he's actually called this the world's reaction to g.'s killing as hysterical i want to begin with. in kuwait city hysterical what do you make of those kind of language. i see in saudi arabia's foreign minister the lack of the the missi and the lack of even visibility i mean as you or follow it it took several weeks before there was a statement after the specialty this appeared and there was a lot of instability in the way the policy was even expressed was he what happened stage by stage. so it's unfortunate to say that action is hysteria

yet yet it is very understood there are events in history i because the s.s. the nation of mr aquino and one nine hundred eighty three after three years of exile he was told to come back to his country fifteen fifteen and he was assassinated in the airport. a whole movement erupted and later on his wife which was who was a housewife for then not interested they're not involved in politics lead the movement and then became their elected democratic president of the philippines in one thousand nine hundred eighty six so there are events in history and assassination can always go in that direction human rights but when it is coming together with the war in yemen the blockade with that entire episode with. the situation that happened with lebanon on other aspects and other issues of human rights and princes and other members of that sowed then and others in the business

community in saudi arabia human rights issue was one day someday it's going to become. quite action and i think it was building up building up and unfortunately it was such a dear friend and a very gentle human being and a very wise man who all with expressed what is always good for saudi arabia and for the region in a democratic here. context unfortunately it took that it took his life to create a kind of opening for for the whole idea of freedom of expression and a presentation and to deal with all the is kind of. unfortunate and very out of kind of conflicts that erupted in this part of the world as it is out of policies that were very adventurous in that i three use hillary mann

leverett as we've heard some very extraordinary diplomatic language over the last three weeks coming from turkey saudi arabia and the u.s. but for me the use of the word hysterical by the saudi foreign minister suggests that either they are wanting to calm things down but don't have the diplomatic tools to be able to do that perhaps or this is just trying to get to a place where they can go to the january summit and something can be done what are your thoughts. well i think the saudi reaction foreign minister bears comments about essentially the u.s. reaction being hysterical because he said that in the contiki he said that immediately after secretary of defense mattis took this took saudi arabia to task for the killing of jamal khashoggi on the stage in bahrain foreign ministers of air of saudi arabia said it was hysterical right after secretary maddest spoke so to me it was it was a not so interact rebuke of secretary mabus personally and it's not an isolated

reaction from the saudis that's very critical of washington there have been other saudis who have essentially threatened to send the price of oil to two hundred dollars a barrel of essentially threaten to give a military base to russia inside saudi arabia those reactions from saudi arabia are adding to the to the discussion here in washington that especially under crown prince mohammed bin some on saudi arabia cannot be america's soul reliable strategic pillar in the middle east and that is leading not only to a question of crown prince mohammed bin some months ascension to become king but it's also for the first time prompting some in washington and i wouldn't say this is widespread but some in washington to rethink the u.s. relationship with other key players in order to balance saudi recklessness in the region so for example to get closer perhaps to cots or to get closer to turkey to

get closer even perhaps to the islamic republic of iran that these three countries in the region represent not an anti saudi movement but a balancing potentially balancing series of countries that the united states can have a better relationship with in order to not have so much control and so much recklessness coming out of riyadh so those two things i think are are coming together the saudi reaction to demolish murder is even more importance. are typically here in washington then perhaps the murder itself because it draws this real question mark about saudi arabia as the one and only strategic pillar for the united states in the region of course with the israelis but today those are coming together somewhat but you look again at qatar turkey and iran as key countries to balance saudi arabia's recklessness we all running slightly out of home i do want to bring you both in the from kuwait city. and budget on and sorry i'll start with you it says

he the i did the perhaps a better alliance for the u.s. would be got there turkey iran would have seemed fanciful just four weeks ago but now there are some circles in d.c. apparently discussing that do you think that's a better alliance for the u.s. than say perhaps relying solely on saudi arabia well let me first say that the u.s. needs to bring back into the court of its policy and that should apply u.s. congress. operation has to assure again the whole issue of human rights and that egypt. because human rights and the violations that have existed in the last decade or two are very much that occluded sponsible among other factors there financially to their eyes of violence and instability in the region

so any human rights be i think the us has to look at each state differently so i would say there is quite a conflict on so many issues with iran come back to the nuclear agreement try to bring this back to the table in a sensible way and create a win win relation with iran iran there are differences with iran there are issues with iran even in the arab world at large from syria all the way to other places but it shouldn't be as a result situation it shouldn't be zero sum it must get to the point where a dialogue between the gulf and iran can take place and the u.s. could encourage that at one level or another now come to cut that yes i believe the u.s. has to strengthen its relation to qatar to kuwait strengthen its relation to our man strengthen its relation to anybody in the region and i see the need for balance and the need for a reasonability reasonable thinking and

a policy that is not adventurous and there are plenty there are many leaders in the region go it is one of them cut that is another and and should find a way to stop them and ward because they i mean war is a tragedy it is that edge of the ongoing daily with many many killed civilians more than anything else destruction of entire nation and who is going to rebuild yemen let me they're going in a large i'm sorry and here we are running out of homes i want to report on that about hillary go rickly you've heard what our guest a curiosity has been saying what are your thoughts or does the relationship between saudi arabia and the u.s. need to be reset and should it pivot towards got an iran but maybe more of a pessimist here but i think very clear the united states problem with saudi arabia is not that it killed a dissident. i'm sure that the american investigation they said that many of the the regimes. james indigence here killed dissidents every day the problem is how it was managed and how as the president said in. a couple of days ago that kept out of the very stupid cover up that took place this is the main problem the

problem is that their ally cannot manage foreign policy cannot manage its actions in a way that was safe for the administration itself i think for the united states the important thing is to have an ally that is dependable and certainly going to use like oman kuwait and qatar have shown themselves to be quite dependable we're seeing now the omanis stepping up their game through their mediation the palestinian issue for example and as they have done before between the americans and the iranians so i think the americans now understand that saudi arabia is nothing is liable ally however it is very difficult to break up that strategic alliance between saudi arabia and the republicans especially in the united states what will happen now i think is that they will both a vacation of diplomacy and come to america we are going to have to end it there thanks to all our guests. and hillary mann leverett and thank you too for watching and you can see the program again any time by visiting our website al-jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle

a decades long civil war. reports from colombo. president. expected to lay out the reasons or justify. what he did just over one and a half days ago when he threw this country's political scenario into turmoil removing his prime minister on the vicar missing and appointing a man who said would threaten his life or challenging him to the presidency in two thousand and fifteen and the rajapaksa now some of the reasons we're hearing that the president for his decisions is the handling of the economy we've seen essentially in recent times. taking a beating devaluing hugely against the u.s. dollar investments the general political climate is quite shaky but more than that in recent days almost on a personal force it has been this assassination conspiracy that's been unfolding

over the last six weeks here in sri lanka where we're hearing. in fact he's been arrested being implicated in an assassination plot against president and even the former defense secretary now. that his former prime minister's government was not taking things seriously. and. that this might have also increased reasons for him to make the move. did overall. and his loyalists say that the previous government could not continue in power that it was just not tenable in terms of what they had been running as a government and that's the reason we're finding a new government with a new prime minister and that's wat president. in his statement to the people of sri lanka.

saudi arabia's public prosecutor is heading to istanbul to discuss the killing of jamal turkish prosecutors want the eighteen suspects to be extradited but saudi arabia says that they will be prosecuted in the kingdom meanwhile european countries are looking at a coordinated response to the killing which could include sanctions on a series alan fischer reports from istanbul. we came to talk syria but the jamal khashoggi case was never far from the surface as the four utopian leaders gathered after their istanbul meeting turkey's president again demanded those responsible for this killing should face trial in his country. this crime took place in istanbul if saudi arabia is not going to put these people on trial the turkish judiciary can do that here in istanbul and through our ministry of justice jamal khashoggi disappeared after visiting the saudi consulate in istanbul earlier this

month initially the saudis denied he'd left the building but under growing international pressure the admitted he had killed the writer and u.s. president in what he described as a fight gone wrong european leaders insist so duty via face is a coordinated sanctions campaign when the results of all the investigations are known and. once we know who is behind the state and what the links are we will strive to have a joint european reaction to show we act from a common. the values you place on it. for me things 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 lying for the turkish authorities the case against saudi's country being held there in connection with the killing these also expected to face pressure to extradite them here to turkey where 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 detained and sundry with investigation since had you been and they will be prosecuted internally at the same conference 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 saudi arabia 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 down face to face with his turkish counterpart alan fischer al-jazeera is standing by of the other western bosses there is how is the. explain the significance of this upcoming meeting between the saudi and turkish public prosecutors forest action. as really is definitely going to be an absolutely interesting that would give us a test that would be a test as to whether both turkey and saudi arabia will be able to move forward when it comes to bringing in more details about the killing goes a model how should the turkish general prosecutor has been investigating the case saying that they have their own elements they know exactly what happened except for a few elements exactly was the body of subsea who was the local contractor and who took the body and who gave the final political decision about killing him

out of house of the general saudi general prosecutor certainly one of the law someone who's really important in saudi arabia has his own interpretation of what happened his own investigation that paved the way for the arrest of eighteen suspects in saudi arabia now when he meets with his of turkish counterparts who would have to answer some questions particularly about the demand for extradition for the eighteen suspects who was responsible for the killing of samantha hussey and what do the saudis know more about this case if there is a consensus between both of them that could pave the way for for that cooperation if that does not happen during the meeting between both prosecutors i think that could pave the way for the turkish government to move forward to the settee the best that they have other crucial elements that they would present in the near future if there's no corporation from the saudi government has international

pressure on the saudi government shows few signs of easing. how is that going to play into this meeting. it has been very important in the sense that he shifted the narrative the saudi government over the last two weeks from this was a brawl that one terribly wrong into this was an accident then to a primitive premeditated attack that led to the arrest of eighteen suspects and i think this could further put more pressure on the sunday government to further cooperate with the turkish authorities or to come to terms with what happened and who was responsible for the killing of about a hostage was it a sort of got body for example a senior advisor to crown prince william and some men or was it someone of the intelligence establishment like major general. and i see the who's the deputy in.
