is expected to provide testimonies of the eighteen suspects to his turkish counterpart and the visuals have been held around the u.s. and the world for the eleventh. pittsburgh victim was a ninety seven year old woman suspects being charged under hate today's attack and could face the death penalty if convicted. so let's get more on one of our top stories jamal murder was only last week that donald trump hunted for the first time but the possible involvement of sol the crown prince mohammed bin saddam on well some analysts believe the trumpet ministrations hesitance and directly implicated the crown prince or the wider family has a lot to do with strategy on iraq and diplomatic editor james bays explains. many of the faces of the trumpet ministration have changed the first national
11:20 am
security adviser michael flynn lasted less than a month and will be sentenced for lying to the f.b.i. later this year but one item of trump's foreign policy has been very consistent as of today we are officially putting iran on notice the iran nuclear deal was one of the main achievements of president obama say is in office it took years of negotiation led in the final stages by his secretary of state john kerry officials from three e.u. countries as well as china and russia. earlier this year president trump made good on his campaign promises and pulled out of the deal most of the u.s. is closest allies continue to back the iran deal the only support for trump's move came from israel and from saudi arabia mohamed bin salman became saudi crown prince in june last year strongly backed by the u.s. he's tried to portray himself as
11:21 am
a reformer in the region while highlighting iran's involvement in conflicts in syria and in yemen. however it's actually saudis are the majority of lives in yemen and experts say the mood of jamal khashoggi goes a long way to destroy the carefully constructed saudi narrative just exposes the fact that the united states does have a very glaring double standard that it because of its ties to saudi arabia which are partly based on the hopes of working with the saudis and the israelis in the amorality is and others against iran that the administration is willing to allow mohammed bin some man to get away literally with murder the decision to pull out of the nuclear deal and the tightening of sanctions which is continuing are hurting iran but the truck plan to isolate the country will only work with the help of key allies particularly in europe for now they haven't been won over james but. at
11:22 am
the united nations well let's get more on the flour we're joined by naba hashmi director of the center for middle east audience at the university of denver and he's joining us from denver colorado mr hashmi always good to have you with us on al-jazeera so let's talk about the latest developments the most senior saudi prosecutor has arrived and ball what twelve the turks be asking him. well the turks will be asking him for. you know information on you know who. who who is the person in saudi arabia who gave the order to commit the murder saudi arabia has now at knowledge that it was a premeditated murder so the obvious question is who within the saudi government is responsible for giving that order then there's the two related questions where is the body and then where and who is the local collaborator who the saudis claim
11:23 am
was given the body and now is unknown so i think those are the three main questions that the church should be demanding from the saudi crown prosecutor well we know who the reports. point to when it comes to who gave the orders but to what extent do you think that the saudi prosecutor will cooperate with this investigation well i have no hope it will be an open and honest. cooperation from the saudis for reasons that i think most of your viewers can understand this is a farce of an investigation i mean you can't have. the crown prince who is sort of overseeing this investigation who is the chief suspect in the crime presiding over an investigation so i think this is mostly political theater it's mostly an attempt by the saudis to send a message to the international community into the americans that they are serious
11:24 am
about the investigation but i don't think we're going to reveal anything with respect to the nature of this crime what role then as president of the one playing and this political theater and if the saudis don't give the techs the cooperation the information that they often fall what can took a do what is president at the unwilling to do. well turkey is in the driver's seat president area and i think fundamentally the holds the future political fate of the saudi crown prince in his hand in terms of. you know his ability to you know reveal the details of the turkish investigation specifically this audiotape that was played for the cia director last week which all reports suggest they were credible. the turkish government apparently has one hundred fifty page dossier with information on the the murder and so there's a lot here that i think. turkey can do particularly president aired
11:25 am
a while but i think the worst thing for the saudis that the turkish government can do is just drag this story out you know to demand you know from the saudis more cooperation which they of ultimately can't give because they're crown prince is implicated so i think that's i think you know how much power i think the turkish government has right now over this entire story is the hashmi will they use that to get justice for jamal khashoggi. well we all hope so i think the best plan of action is for turkey to try and cooperate with the shias saudis and then after they've exhausted their investigation i think the proper course of action is to respect the wishes of the show you family and ask the united nations didn't take over turkey should turn over their dossier their investigation to the united nations and demand a full scale international commission of inquiry into this particular act because it is a global crisis so let's hope that that's the position of the turkish government i think ultimately follows. thank you as always for your time and that is not the
11:26 am
hashmi joining us live from denver thank you thank you. we have some breaking news now coming to us from indonesia where indonesia's search and rescue agency has told the waters news agency that a lion air passenger flight has crashed into the sea flight the flight was traveling from jakarta to the city of punk that's off the island of sumatra reuters says that the plane lost contact thirteen minutes after takeoff it's not yet known how many people were on board we will bring you more information on that lion air passenger flight which has crashed into the sea. now to sri lanka where one person has been killed and several others are wounded as the country's political crisis turned violent police have arrested a ministerial security guard who often file on

a crowd of presidential loyalists the u.s. has called for parliament to be reconvened immediately but sri lanka's president is standing by his move to sack the prime minister alleging that it was motivated by the assassination plot but al philander's has more from colombo. a jubilant mind the rajapaksa was moment when he visited the country's most sacred buddhist trained the temple of the two thing candy on sunday morning his reception showed the popularity the new prime minister still commands among a sizable section of the population that popularity and his track record made him the obvious choice for president might you file a citizen or when he needed a replacement for running a vicar missing or who he sect on friday to be the president addressed the nation to explain his shock decision. mr ronald singer behave very arrogant and stop only in government mostly making decisions individually devoid of collective decision making and this led to
11:28 am
a serious political crisis in his thirty seven minute speech the president strongly criticised ricker missing her saying he was to blame for economic woes for corruption broken promises and pretty much everything else wrong with the government legard reasons for his decision the president also referred to an assassination plot and alleged that a government minister was involved. our most recent or most powerful reason to appoint former president mahinda rajapaksa as prime minister remove run of the crime a singer as prime minister was a conspiracy to assassinate me i realize that there could be an issue of trust regarding the investigations informants has revealed that a government minister was involved in the assassination attempt against me the president rejected the allegations that his decision violated the constitution and said this was one he had taken following advice and in keeping with the constitution but the parliament speaker seemed to question that decision in
11:29 am
a letter he sent the president. urged three senior to reconsider his decision to suspend parliament until november sixteenth saying it would lead to serious and undesirable consequences for the country. a tale of two prime ministers one legitimate the other not the key to his future is determining which is which the sacked prime minister insists his dismissal was illegal and he's refusing to leave his official residence in a finance. colomba. for palestinian teenagers have been killed by an israeli drone strike in gaza they died in the eastern region of the strip between canyon and there. the israeli army says it fired towards three palestinian saboteurs who were attempting to plant an explosive device near the barrier fence with israel. now the palestinian president like she was in his hamas rivals of supporting the interests of the united states by not giving up control of the gaza
11:30 am
strip with us is worried that the u.s. is planning a proposal to offer palestinians some statehood and the hamas control strip and limited autonomy in the occupied west bank he is pushing for full independence and both areas and must seize control of gaza in two thousand and seven. now for many months palestinians in gaza have had to. four hours of electricity a day now that is about to double maybe even triple but this rare positive development depends as always on the tense relationship between hamas and israel are a force that explains. for the first time in two years gaza's only power station is working at seventy five percent capacity three of its core turbines generating desperately needed electricity the power company says the territory can now expect a rise in supply to twelve hours a day from purer than five now sort of an agenda and slightly i mean israel will
11:31 am
get one hundred and twenty megawatts and now seventy five from the poet station so right now we can talk about implementing to schedule of eight hours on and eight hours off when we have to increase a little bit more i forgot this is poorest cut off from alternatives like generators and solar power the idea of a reliable power supply has become the stuff of dreams but also supplies some respite for garza's collapsing economy she's manufactured. says sales of harvard in the last year regular power supplies would save him expensive generated fuel and more importantly could spur demand for the sea and. out of the. if there's no fridge they say i'm not going to buy cheese if they get eight hours of electricity in a row they can keep that property they can buy without thinking twice and our sales increase that much rests on politics qatar has pledged to provide fuel for the power station for six months supplies have already been affected though by tensions
11:32 am
between israel and hamas which controls the gaza strip the ability for the power station to continue operating like this though depends on israeli political decision and already this month the israeli defense minister avigdor lieberman has used that power denying the fuel trucks access to gaza. that followed a rocket fired from gaza that severely damaged his. early home the supply was restored only after a reduction in the scale of that week's friday border protest this friday so another exchange of rockets and israeli air strikes for now israel has allowed the fuel to continue the palestinian president mahmoud abbas who for more than a year has been imposing economic sanctions on gaza has opposed the fuel deal which was negotiated through the un bypassing his palestinian authority gaza's people are painfully aware of how much lies outside their control for the moment they have at least one red development they can welcome in seeing them if only a little closer to something resembling normal twenty first century life harry
