that's right and what we've seen i think from the t.s.a. uber electoral courts and some of the other instances makes me worry that perhaps not person at all let take office in january his job then will be to fulfill his promise to kick start prisoners economy and the crime wave that has already left thousands of people dead. that is how will a death eat at three hundred ten era or james green is director of the brazil initiative at brown university he explains why he feels minorities have much to fear from ball scenarios frezza density most people who support it have done which is forty five percent of the population that voted or forty five million people are very afraid they're afraid because of that because it was an enemy very explicit last sunday his intentions to drive people out of the country to imprison opposition and he's also talked about criminalizing social movements and using the

national security act to brest people who are violating what he considers to be the law so as you pointed out the l g b t community in brazil the women's movement people of african descent people who are from the northeast to were very supportive of her diet are all very concerned right now that this politician who has promised to torture and to use heavy handed will actually carry out his campaign promises so if he a week ago said he was not going to win he's changed his tune today reminds me very much when donald trump made promises on his campaign trail and then made a pledge is a moderate action and then turned around and did all the things that he said he was going to do during the campaign i would say that there's a very similar analogy between the two in that regard although quite frankly i think paul's letters were daters than donald trump. well the weather is next plus

on counting the cost the killing of. focus the spotlight on saudi arabia now much found as the kingdom really wield over the global economy will look at the oil game plus the dynamic between the world of tech investments and saudi cash. found in the cost. to finally acknowledging jamal khashoggi is killing was premeditated saudi arabia sends its top prosecutor to turkey as pressure grows on riyadh to extradite the suspects will the two countries cooperate this is about story. hello and welcome to the program i'm wrong come on it's been more than three weeks

since journalist jamal khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen again and with each passing day brings a new element so crime that shocked the world turkey one saudi arabia to extradite the eighteen men who have been suspected in this killing but saudi arabia insist they'll face justice in the kingdom this issue will likely top the agenda saudi arabia's top prosecutor arrives in turkey the initial turkish inquiry has concluded that the killing was premeditated a fact saudi officials have taken some time to acknowledge turkey's president richard types are the one saudi arabia to disclose casualties remains and to explain who gave deal with the killed it. first i should say here in the presence of international media that there are eighteen people in custody these are the same people who came to our country who sent to those people to turkey that's a question that needs to be answered by the saudi officials another statement from

the higher authorities in saudi arabia stated that the body of jamal khashoggi was handed to a local collaborator in turkey or they had some collaboration with a local accomplice so who is the local accomplice they say these individuals will be charged or will be prosecuted and will be sentenced but 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 we have launched an appeal in written form through official channels that turkey is ready to put these individuals on trial here in turkey and we will be expecting answers to these questions and here's what the saudi foreign minister abdullah had to say about turkey's request for the suspects to be extradited. on the issue of extradition of individuals of saudi nationals to detained and sundry but investigation since hundred and they will be prosecuted in two hundred.

ninety bringing our guest joining us on skype from amman adam kugel i'm middle east research at human rights watch in washington d.c. leone fresco a former u.s. department of justice official an international legal expert and from johannesburg also on skype rodney dixon international lawyer and co-author of a un report back in january that documented detentions in saudi arabia a warm welcome to you all i want to begin with rodney dix and johannesburg the state's prosecutor the top legal official from saudi arabia is in turkey what is that about what meetings is he taking what's likely to be discussed with his turkish counterparts. so you sort of looking to get what ever evidence they used a liberal to take forward there's. supposedly investigation and prosecution in saudi arabia but tick tick peak question is whether if any evidence

is changed it can be used to study investigate the case and prosecutor it properly safely and to the very highest level wherever the evidence leads it's so those meetings it's taking place as you say you did cite suppose that. investigation what do you think is about the investigation where we don't know exactly what investigation has been going to take it. track record of saudi arabia in conducting investigations is that everything happens in secret people are detained without knowing where they are trials are held that are not open public and transparent so we we don't know exactly what is going on and i'm like you too and hence the need to look at conducting this investigation or prosecution outside of saudi arabia where temple is properly scrutinized and where the world wouldn't

know what has happened so we can get to the bottom of it let's bring more cindy say hedley on frescoes on you head to our guest in johannesburg saying perhaps it shouldn't be held in either saudi arabia or take a boat somewhere else and the only way a fair and transparent trial may well take place do you agree with that. well i mean there are many people calling for a u.n. investigation either to respect the rapid to or order one of the commission set up and that would be the way that you would get to the highest level of assurance that that investigation was a proper one but you would still have the problem of needing the cooperation of both turkey and saudi arabia to get to the highest levels so in order to get that to be accomplished you're going to need all of the other countries in the world putting pressure on turkey and saudi arabia to cooperate with such an investigation and on the un to hold such an investigation and so were many weeks away it seems like from getting to that level where we would actually have a u.n.

investigation and countries cooperating and we may never get there and so what you're likely to see are these hybrid investigations from both thirty and saudi arabia let's bring in oman head and adam kugel adam you've studied the reason for a very long time why is it so difficult to guess to get a fair trial in saudi arabia or to saudi arabia in just the legal system look like . well the human rights watch has spent many years documenting the the major shortcomings of the saudi criminal justice system our analysis is based on years of study both ongoing trials of saudi human rights activists as well as interviews with prisoners several years ago in a saudi prison as well as most recently a series of interviews with pakistanis who had been through the saudi criminal justice system and then returned what we found and have found for many years is really alarming the saudi system frankly does not generally allow the lawyer at all

during the investigation phase so people are often detained and put in a room with an investigator and sometimes coerced or pressured to sign confessions those confessions then become the major piece of evidence presented against the defendant in court in addition the people that we interviewed especially for minor crimes would often sit in jail for many months not knowing where their case was in process then be suddenly drug before a judge who it essentially present them their pre-determined verdict and asked them whether they wanted to challenge it if they did want to challenge it they often went back to jail waited for however many more months not knowing what was going to happen they would be dragged back to court again and offer the same verdict to sign or try to present a defense so in nearly all cases the people that we interviewed determined that it was better to just take the take the sentence that was determined in advance and

that was better than staying in jail indefinitely so we didn't we've been documented these due process violations for many many years the system itself you know for all the saudi cooling that the that it has an independent judiciary we just haven't seen that play out on the ground especially the high level trials of human rights activists and political dissidents the result seen very much cooked up in advance saudi arabia has capital punishment in some cases people are beheaded using a sort. nearly six hundred executions since the beginning of two thousand and fourteen a third of those for non violent drug related crimes. is this a high for even for state capital punishment. is the beheadings for you. to go in on a cruel form of punishment. yeah absolutely the in terms of executions human rights watch opposes all executions because of the inherent cruelty of finality of the punishment but even under international human rights law

you can make an argument that the method of execution public beheading or private beheading or a firing squad those are the three that we know of you know would essentially perhaps violate saudi arabia's obligations as a signatory to the convention against torture by causing pain before the before the person dies particularly in the event the gruesome of that that the first sword swing does not does not fully decapitate the person and we see videos of that happening and it's frankly very disturbing so in terms of the executions the method is a problem and the fact that they execute so many individuals for peaceful drug related crimes primarily the crime of smuggling drugs into the country under international rights law this is this is something that that is that is prohibited executions can only be carried out for the most serious crimes and in this case. saudi arabia

unfortunately has a lot to has a lot to answer for it's a fairly bleak picture you have painted of the saudi arabian legal system that i want to speak to rodney dixon in johannesburg rodney is that any way because of the nature of the khashoggi murder because the world will be watching that the saudis will play this by the book that the saudis will introduce laws or even a legal system that allowed them to seek and be up to international standards simply because the world is watching. well i mean one can never say never but so far they haven't sure any commitment and resolve to do that and plus there's this long track record that we will highlight it so the far better approach which the forty two national committee to do you insist on. the process taking place outside of saudi arabia with that country called for a team if they want to show that they are committed to resolving this they can do

that through gul courageous and full the proceedings today and be internationalized so that everyone care and view them and be sure that all necessary safeguards are in place and also this must be stressed so that they investigate she can not just sense on those people who travel to stumble but look at the powers behind it and where this was ordered that it can only be done through the first occasion that it has the necessary determination to follow that through it is most of my in the extreme in fact that that could be done in saudi arabia itself would be the government investigating itself which is not going to have to let's bring in liam frost go ahead from washington d.c. if the investigation won't be fair in saudi arabia president or the want of turkey is insisting that the suspects be tried in turkey have a techie doesn't have

a great human rights record but it has an open legal system that's transparent on most accounts do you think trial in turkey would be an ideal solution. well the complication with the trial in turkey is twofold number one president there go on has done some crackdowns on some cards on lawyers and turkey that casts some doubt on the idealism of turkey as a venue and then second you have the intersection of the issue of a turkish domestic chord but saudis doing activities within a diplomatic enclave and you know people coming in with diplomatic authorities and that's why you create one of these international tribunals or you are to go to the international criminal court or the international court of justice to resolve this then that international tribunal wouldn't have to deal with these issues of the in their play between domestic turkish law and international law with regard to what

can take place in an embassy who has jurisdiction that cetera there's going to be too many endure in their native turf wars between turkey and saudi arabia if there was a prosecution in turkey and so that's why the fairest the way to get that resolved is the have it in the international tribunals out and let me bring you in head in kugel in amman turkey as human rights record what's the will see how shall they what's the what's for you the real concerns well in terms of turkey i think that the previous guest articulated that very well we have seen aired one move against courts and judges and individuals that were perceived to be in any way not aligned with everyone so i think that we do have some concern concerns about the. fairness of the process in the case of turkey and in addition obviously any turkey has it has it quite a terrible track record on freedom of expression related issues and it's the

leading and has been the leading jailer of journalists in the world for quite a few years now. let's bring in jonathan head and. wrote in texan rodney i just want to ask you this question you know your insisting. on your free trial can type play somewhere internationally just talk us through what that could look like is it the international criminal court as a means of course of justice when or is there another way of doing it do you think . it will tookie does certainly have jurisdiction and that is one option but given the sensitivities in the profile of all of this case another option that should be looked at is an international court there's the i.c.c. the magic could really go before it on the basis of a security council referral and the incident in istanbul the mistake that they would have to be placed in a wider context of other crimes that are being committed in saudi arabia with

widespread and systematic crimes but they certainly evidence of that so the court there it could have jurisdiction all one could look at an ad hoc arrangement and talk international regional court with the assistance of turkey and insisting on saudi arabia's cooperation this is absolutely full look at the trial for example where specialized force can be set up given the problems of the case and involving all countries to ensure that they call for a provide evidence and then an international what you know an international body that determines it's well for us to let me just ask you this question the investigation wherever the trial takes place the world's eyes will be on as we've said however is this about protecting the crown prince mohammed bin salman which is why the saudis are insisting that the trial take place in saudi arabia.

yeah i think the big issue is going to be the ideal outcome for many nations in this not just saudi arabia will be something that provides an accountability at almost every level except that the highest levels and so that seems to be the arrangement that people are drawing the prearrange here is that have a level of due process of investigation that allows everybody to to appear are satisfied and claim victory but not to otherwise these stabilize the arrangements that it seems that people around the world are comfortable with with regard to the saudi government because of that that's what's making the likelihood of these international tribunals far less likely than they would be in another case what's the view in washington d.c. amongst your colleagues amongst the people you speak to is there any way that saudi arabia. can host a trial like this and make it work since

a lot of and he saudi rhetoric coming from certainly from some parts of the congress at the moment over this so. in the u.s. there is certainly a view on this. sure well i think there's a lot of skepticism about both the crime the coverup and the investigation the problem is that that skepticism comes from the congress and comes from reporters and comes from non-governmental organizations but at the end of the day it's not coming from the white house because it's not coming from the white eve you need a security council referral for an investigation you're not going to get one if the saudi government is doing what appears to be a credible job of moving forward with a credible investigation and by credible i mean passing a minimum threshold not meeting a threshold of perfection and that's where it gets complicated is i think that the

administration here in washington is trying to arrange a solution that allows the crown prince to say phase by that piers to be credible with regard to all of the other actors in the investigation new pics and you've mentioned this earlier you don't think that the trial will lead all the way up to the top let's just say that's. what you'll real concern when it comes to a cover up but do you fear that there may well be a cover up when it comes to any trial being taken taking place in saudi arabia. yes i mean that's the fear that many people are expressing throughout the international community and across the board that what we're seeing here is an attempt to try to divert attention from the necessary recitation but they should be taking place looking at following it all the way up the chain of command as happens in a. formal investigation of

a techie according to international standards and if if if that is blocked if that if that doesn't happen there's going to be great dissatisfaction not arnie's from there is close to this but across the board throughout many different countries and many leaders have said they're not prepared to take on saudi arabia in terms of cutting arms deals there since they'll do other things well this is one thing they can definitely doing system on a better and comprehensive investigation that will leave no stone unturned among them can go ahead you had all over the guests are saying about the investigation of the trial needing to be even in a third party place all transparency within saudi arabia itself you studied the region for a very long time you old faithful the a fair trial won't take place is the any prussia the human rights watch

international n.g.o.s can put on saudi arabia right now or is saudi arabia simply too big. well saudi arabia unfortunately is one of those countries that's historically been fairly impervious to international pressure they've always had you know quite quite a bit of their own. ability to determine their own affairs without the say of outsiders or even the opinion of outsiders however we see that that maybe shifting a little bit given the current circumstances the fact that the king and the crown prince especially are really attempting to burnish the country's image internationally at least they were prior to the affair and the fact that they're trying to get get so much investment from american and european and other actually investors around the world really so they're keen to present the country in a positive manner however given the history of the saudi criminal justice system

and the behavior of saudi prosecutors i don't really have much faith that the investigation would be transparent and would be conducted in any manner that accords with international standards you know we think in order for this whole process to be credible we really do need some sort of independent probably un led international investigation in order to to really look expose all of the different important aspects of this case especially the command responsibility who ultimately is responsible for setting this in motion and how high does it go within the saudi leadership unfortunately given a saudi led investigation it's really difficult. i think it'll be really difficult for us to determine that and it's human rights watch and his other human rights organizations we're certainly going to be there to call attention to the deficiencies of the saudi led investigation if that takes place the saudi state

media insisting that any legal proceedings any trial will be fair and will be transparent and also until the job that the foreign minister has said it will take place in saudi arabia this in turn. saudi arabian matter i want to bring in just very quickly we are running out of time but just very quickly. why is that this disconnect between what some parts of congress want and the trumpet ministration it's not just about deals it's a much mall it seems to be a much more personal thing for the white house sure i think that there are the relationships both between the president and gerrard pushed her and crown prince i think they really viewed the crown prince as someone who would be a stable ally in the middle east and would allow the administration to achieve its objectives without you know through the entire middle east both with iran with the middle east peace process. and the last thing they want to do is created this stabilizing of and that leaves the administration with far fewer allies in the

middle east and so they really want the piers what they want is they really want this to have the veneer of accomplished investigation but i don't think they want to get to the point where if the ultimate perpetrators of this were the saudi royal family the leadership then i don't think that they want to disrupt the relationship to the point that they are disturbing the status quo of the way they want to proceed with middle eastern relations just very quickly rodney dixon and hannahs but. if it's not afraid if it's a fair and fair trial in saudi arabia if there's no. international investigation international trial any result will be questioned is that right. yes i think. major question already and those will only be magnified if we end up in a situation where the process takes place entirely within saudi arabia where we

don't actually know what is going on and where a best occasion doesn't reach all the way out to the chopper and explore all of the available evidence or putin's chemical from. to all of gas thank you very much adam kugel and rodney dixon and thank you too for watching you can see the program again any time by visiting a website al jazeera dot com and for further discussion go to our facebook page that's facebook dot com forward slash asia inside story and you can also join the conversation on twitter or handle is at a.j. inside story for me among current and the whole team head life and out. and you go get a feel for the u.s. that's in the club by going to send us all.

water. search and rescue divers have found oil slicks and debris the c.e.o. of lyon ammi was issued a statement about the crash he says the plane was reported good to fly by our engineering team that's responsible for checking planes the plane flew from then person bali to jakarta last night upon landing in jakarta there was a technical report of problem but we have addressed it according to manufacturer guidance i cannot be more specific about the problem i believe the pilot is professional we are very saddened by the incident because the passengers are our family when he joins us now live from the airport in jakarta serve first of all way let's see if we get any update on the fate of course of the people on that plane. no details yet sammy the latest update we have had here outside the airport in

jakarta in fact the terminal where that very flight took off from early on monday morning it came from the head of the airport all thora the part of the transportation ministry here in indonesia and he was confirming some of the details that you mentioned that the plane took off in good conditions at twenty past six in the morning on monday and around eleven minutes later there was a request from the pilots on board j t six one zero to turn back that request was granted but soon after contact with that plane was lost the head of the airport authority did not give any details about why that request was made to turn around i'm sure that there was some knowledge of that within the all thora t's but certainly no details given to the public yet about why that request was made and whether they have any more clues about why this plane went down into the java sea

we know the search and rescue the recovery operation continues we know that they have found some debris there personal items as well as pieces of the plane that bring those items back pretty much as they find them to the shore for further analysis they have a team of about thirty divers on site there still searching for the main wreckage of the plane and they have not found that just yet. any explanation beyond what was said of what happened in those thirteen minutes of initial flight. there are no details at all a lot of analysis and speculation in the meantime before we get confirmation will center around the faults that you mentioned that they found actually was before the plane landed in jakarta it was in denpasar that is the airport on the resort island of bali they found a technical fault on that plane before it took off bound for jakarta this was on

sunday nights they inspected the falls and it was given the all clear to fly that was stressed very strongly by the chief chief executive of lyon and he said that if there was any ongoing concern if that fault wasn't fixed or wasn't cleared there's no way they would have let that plane take off from didn't proceed forward jakarta but that same plane landed safely in jakarta and then at six twenty in the morning on monday it took off from jakarta and then some thirteen minutes later has disappeared from radar so clearly there will be a lot of analysis of their fault it could turn out to be nothing it could turn out to be a very minor fault that was easily fixable at the time but there will be analysis of that and as yet we do not know any further details about why that plane disappeared from radar or why in hey thanks for that let's continue to talk about this though tobias raquel is an aviation strategy consultant and director of the

consultancy group and he joins us via skype from hamburg thanks so much for coming in any indications so far from the statements we've seen from the pictures that's come out about what went wrong. well at this point it's very difficult to say so it happened this morning only we know that it's a brand new at craft which was to live out about two months ago obviously the pilots reported a technical problem to the age you see. it had a pretty unusual behavior after the takeoff. that does all what we know everything else the speculation at the moment the add on doesn't have the best safety record in the world does it why. all in tunisia. itself has a pretty difficult safety record so we are seeing every year about to

ever actually about two fatal incidents next. line had four or five fatal accidents and a in the last ten years. i think it has to do also with was a safety system in indonesia the test obviously improved because the european union has to go to indonesia from the blacklist however it seems that it's not sufficient and enough what happened up to no what sort of record does the pilot have well as far as i know we have the captain wasn't in the end the first of the saw was a local they call it as experienced. that's all what i know at the moment. what do you make of how the authorities have dealt with the aftermath of this so far. well it depends on what all comers on but what's a final report of the accident will say however there are indications that the

plane had a technical problem but you heard a search on the on its way to the end before the flight today. obviously had a technical problem. possibly it was not fixed and the way it should be. that caused this accident. there simply to have to look into what caused this accident. to deal with. the proceedings at the airline all right thanks so much for analysis on this one thank you i want to stay. saudi arabia's top prosecutor has arrived in turkey where he'll meet investigators looking into the murder of saudi journalist amount. soudan the jeep seen here at

the airport in istanbul is expected to provide testimonies from eighteen suspects they're being held in saudi arabia turkey has requested their extradition saudi says they'll be tried in the kingdom saying the holder is outside the sound the consulate in istanbul where it was killed so do turkish officials failed now they getting the full cooperation they've requested now they've got the top saudi prosecutor in town. well this will definitely be the hope turkey has really been complaining about the lack of cooperation on the part of saudi arabia the latest example being that turkish investigators wanted to search the residence of the consul general again to search a well in his garden and they haven't been able to do that what we understand now is saudi arabia's top prosecutor has arrived at the courthouse he will be meeting is temple's chief prosecutor the man who's leading this investigation they are

going to be sharing evidence we know that the turks have have their own independent investigation the turks and the saudis there's a joint investigation so they're going to be sharing the evidence but what is important is what is going to be shared and what is not going to be shared because turkey really has been using this evidence as a card in its hand a card in its hand to pressure saudi arabia to acknowledge what happened inside that consulate building the leaks that were given to the media forced saudi arabia put them in a corner and they admitted after three weeks that she died inside that consulate what they're not admitting and what turkey wants them to say is that this was a premeditated murder turkey has presented evidence it believes shows that this was a premeditated murder what turkey wants are answers answers to three important questions first of all where is the body of she or his body parts where is this local collaborator who is this local collaborator because the saudi narrative is that what happened inside was an accident and they hired

a local collaborator to get rid of the body so who is this man and more importantly for turkey who made the order who gave the order to kill. so will this saudi top chief prosecutor answer those questions he is going to share what we understand or testimonies of the eighteen saudi suspects who have been detained in saudi arabia will those testimonies provide the answers to those questions. zain the turkish officials have been talking lately about releasing more evidence when the time is right what do they have and when is the time going to be right well turkey is has really been very confident this is what we are seeing i mean the president himself saying that we have more evidence and we are going to present this evidence at the right time like we mentioned before this is about putting the pressure on saudi arabia to admit and to acknowledge but it is also about putting pressure on the u.s. administration because turkey needs the u.s. administration on board if it's going to push ahead with this investigation and to

push ahead to reach the higher ranks of the saudi royal family because the feeling here is this was ordered by mohamed bin salmen the saudi crown prince we understand the cia director she was in turkey last week we also understand from american media turkish media she heard the much talked about audio recordings of what happened inside that consulate but so far washington has not taken any firm stance we heard the u.s. defense secretary talk about this thorough investigation and saudi arabia is collaborating so there are two tracks here there's a legal track and there's a political track turkey undoubtedly putting up more and more pressure on saudi arabia and the united states to admit exactly what happened inside and who ordered the killing all right thanks so much then to hold of the former bangladeshi prime minister and opposition leader khaled dizzier has been sentenced to seven use in jail for corruption the seventy two year old was convicted of misappropriating more than three hundred foul.
