them while turkey has repeated its request for riyadh to extradite eighteen suspects in the case which at a hall is more now from the memorial event for her shoulder here in london where she is fiance spoke at. this was a memorial event recalling the words of people director of middle east monitor dr daoud of the values that jamal khashoggi stood justice freedom of the press political accountability values that he said were universal resonating everywhere it was also an event which or perhaps the most public comments yet by her soldiers fiance how did you drink these if only i knew that the blood thirsty even people waiting inside the mine to morrow i would have done all i could to prevent him from entering. this. big the if only i knew that death squad was inside look at. the id.

body and then there was this powerful political appeal to world leaders taking particular aim at u.s. president donald trump whose invitation to visit the white house she has turned down i am however disappointed in the actions of the leadership in many countries particularly in the us president trump should president charm should help reveal the truth and ensure justice be served he should not pave the way for a cover up of my fiance's murder let's not let money taint our conscience and compromise our values a mix of emotion and grief protest and politics recalling a man and a journalist killed apparently for speaking his mind during a whole al-jazeera central london. well that's the latest from that memorial meanwhile hash while barra has more from istanbul on the investigation itself. the turkish government's frustration comes from the fact that the thought of the man

leading the investigation is saudi arabia so did. was coming to turkey for clear answers as to who gave the order to kill tomorrow how was his body and what did the eighteen suspects tell the investigators in saudi arabia the turkish government didn't get in the clear answers and this is something which is definitely going to further strain relations between the two countries and it could also delay the investigation there were high hopes that the both prosecutors from turkey and saudi arabia would trigger somehow a small corporation that was speeded up the investigation and pave the way for more clarity about the circumstances surrounding the death of. it's such a critical juncture this explains why i think the saudis at this particular moment are trying to be very cautious been telling their narrative their own investigation

. one has blown herself up in central tunis killing herself in the nine people eight policemen are among the injured it is an interior ministry has described it as a terrorist explosion the country has been under a state of emergency since two thousand and fifteen when dozens of people were killed in a series of attacks claimed by eisel alton easiest president to has condemned the attack. today i regret to say that security personnel are always paying the heavy tolls paying it in blood i am sure fishbowls will identify the causes and consequences such attacks undermine the state its authority and state we thought were driven terrorism out of our cities into decades yet it is now in the heart of the capital city. indonesian search and rescue team say there

is no sign of survivors after a plane plunged into the sea carrying one hundred and the people on board the boeing seven three seven owned by the low cost airline lion air was headed from the capital jakarta to the western city of. but across a crashed into the java sea just minutes after taking off when have reports. the paintwork confirmed the first pieces of debris recovered from the crash site were from lion air flight six one zero it's believed to have crashed around thirty five kilometers off the coast just minutes after takeoff from jakarta there were early signs that the chances of finding survivors would be slim and. we have found flights from the plane and also parts of bodies which have been handed over to the medical team we will keep searching for the main section of the plane this was the flight path of the boeing seven three seven max eight reconstructed by the flight radar twenty four website using satellite data it took off at six twenty

local time on monday morning for what was supposed to be a one hour flight north according to the transportation ministry the pilot asked to turn the plane around two to three minutes after takeoff contact was lost soon after. at the airports in jakarta and the flights distillation. family members gathered to wait for details about the plane's fate. i waited until after eight am but there was still no news so i asked an official then he said the flight had lost contact indonesian president joko widodo offered his support and said the search will continue around the clock. so we understand the concern of the families but we hope the family members can be patient to wait for the search and rescue teams they're working very hard at the location of the crash. indonesia has a poor transport safety record and at times its airlines have been banned from u.s. and european airspace is because of concerns over safety standards has been

involved in several incidents since it began operating eighteen years ago but nothing as serious as this. several people were injured in two thousand and thirteen when a rookie lyon in a pilot landed a boeing seven three seven in the water while approaching bali's denpasar reports the plane involved in monday's crash was new considering boeing's track record and this new units that we have got it doesn't look like any mechanical failure or something around those lines but they will be further questions about a fault that was discovered before it's proceeding flight from bali to jakarta the plane was cleared to fly but lying there hasn't said what the fault was wayne hey al jazeera. the u.s. military is the ploy more than five thousand two hundred troops of the mexico border the soldiers are expected to stay there through the summer as a caravan of migrants seeking asylum from central america works its way to the u.s. border by the end of this week we all the poit over five thousand two hundred

soldiers to the southwest border that is just the start of this operation we'll continue to adjust the numbers and inform me of those but please know that's in addition to the two thousand and ninety two that are already employed from our national guard operation guardian support that's been so effective we know water security is national security and the u.s. military will advance capability to harden the border for more on this let's go to mike hanna who is in washington so five thousand two hundred twenty know what the troops will actually be doing at the border when they get there. well it is apparent that they will be taking part in support operations we've have heard from the department of defense saying that the primary operations will be logistical they will be engineer battalions they will be building bridges they will be medical teams so the idea is to supplement the. forces already at the

border the customs and border protection units and of course the national guard forces that are there two thousand that we heard but a couple of questions about the timing of this already which is known that the caravan as it is called is hundreds of kilometers away from the border it could be weeks before they arrive and not quite clear exactly why all of this is being put into place at this particular point could it have something to do with with the midterm elections and i guess some of the language that president trump has been using about this caravan. well indeed most critics of president trump would contend precisely that fact that this is basically an election ploy to try and show his strength to bolster his support base before those midterm elections in early november president trump has been tweeting on the subject in the course of the day and saying once again repeating is unproven allegation that they are criminals

among those who are marching towards the border saying too that this amounts to an invasion now this is an important point because in terms of the posse comitatus act federal troops cannot be deployed on u.s. territory that is in an offensive capacity and less there is an invasion underway now a president trump with intentionally or not could be laying the ground for arguing that there is an invasion using that term expressly in his tweet saying that the this becomes to toots and invasion while there would be lots of legal discussions about that and certainly from the u.s. army as well particularly from the military secretary there's strong words that these troops will be in air support capacity as they have be in a number of natural disasters that have happened in the past and i can say with the latest there from washington thank you. it watching out as they are still to come on.
