the one exception that allows troops to be deployed defensively is an invasion a specter invoked by president trump in a threatening tweet saying without providing any evidence many gang members and some very bad people are mixed into the caravan heading to our southern border please go back you will not be admitted into the united states and this to go through the legal process he concludes this is an invasion of our country and our military is waiting for you. u.s. administration officials point to the violence said broke out what tomorrow as border with mexico as hundreds try to force their way across to join the large group would be immigrants to the u.s. already on their way the main body of people now numbering some three and a half thousand is still hundreds of kilometers away from the u.s. border and could take weeks to arrive the timing of the deployment more likely determined by next week's midterm elections in which president trump has explicitly

the search very much focused on the surface overnight using sonar to try to detect the main wreckage of the aircraft so far they have not found that but they also continue to pick up pieces of debris from the surface although again they are saying that they think they have found the majority of the debrief floating on top of the java sea so far twenty four body bags have been brought back from the crash site to the shore taken to a nearby hospital where the grim task has begun of relatives identifying those body parts we might be settling in for a long waits in terms of any official word on exactly what happened in the final moments before this aircraft crashed into the java sea still no word efficiently from those leading this search operation leading the investigation or indeed from lyon itself about what exactly went wrong and really any significant results from the investigation will need to wait of course until they find the recorders from

the aircraft to try to achieve that they brought in to make spirits from singapore with specialist equipment to try to detect exactly where those recorders may be. well still ahead an al-jazeera fair in brazil rides a giant ball sinatra's elected president. jewish leaders in pittsburgh tell president trump isn't welcome there after a synagogue shooting less stops targeting minorities. are going to welcome back well here across the levant we are looking at some clouds still lingering across parts of iran up here through parts of afghanistan some of those clouds will be bringing some rain showers over the next few days but temps wise fairly seasonal for this time of year there's the rain we expect to see maybe

after counting the cost you can keep up to date with the news head over to. his story say for the people every week brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these two voices journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative work listening post as we turned the cameras on the media focus on how they report on the stories that are demand see the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening post on al-jazeera. hello i'm sam is this is counting the cost on al-jazeera your weekly look at the world of business in economics this week the killing of a saudi journalist sparks talk of sanctions against saudi arabia we'll be looking at how much power they really wield over the global economy. well look at the oil

game saudi arabia brokers who that's been in place since the one nine hundred seventy s. find out why using oil as a weapon may not be in the saudis best interests these days. plus why saudi arabia may need places to invest more than the investment world needs. up until journalists g.'s death of the hands of saudi officials on october the second the saudis were on a charm offensive brand new mega-cities investing in the newest and coolest tech start ups letting women drive the world's biggest oil exporter was doing everything it could to convince the world it was serious about change and investor confidence was growing this plan for the future was the brainchild of crown prince mohammed bin sound man who was feted as a reformer but then journalist. was killed now saudi arabia and its crown prince

are facing international scrutiny at an investment conference this week the crown prince rejected any idea his economic conditions would be curtailed. although i believe the new europe is the middle east. i don't want to leave this life before seeing the middle east at the forefront of the world and it will happen one hundred percent. but as things stand saudi arabia is not europe its greatest strength is also its greatest weakness oil saudi arabia is the world's largest exporter of petroleum but there's a huge lack of economic diversity oil sales still generate the bulk of government revenues in the public sector is the predominant employer with fifty one percent of the population under the age of twenty five job creation is an urgent concern the oil production itself is controlled by state owned saudi aramco reportedly the most profitable company in the world but nobody really knows because despite plans to

sell off some of it on public markets the books remain a secret in two thousand and seventeen saudi arabia produced twelve million barrels of oil per day so let's say the kingdom withholds a few million barrels prices would go up but that would hurt the global economy which wants to move away from fossil fuels its biggest customers would look elsewhere for long term supply and it would all end up being an own goal you certainly don't want to destroy your only income before you plan to diversify your economy and this should be in the wake of the job the crisis the country had issued a veiled threat that it could use oil to retaliate against any sanctions but then the saudi oil minister stepped in to soothe investors. if there are. any disruptions which you know from from supplies of specially with

their own sanctions grooming then we will continue with the mindset we have now which is meet any demand that materializes and ensure ensure that customers are satisfied well joining me now from washington d.c. is chris garcia chris is a former deputy director of the u.s. department of commerce and c.e.o. of vic a financial good to have you with us so as we all know saudi arabia is the biggest exporter of oil in the world but in general economic terms how important is the saudi economy to the world sure you know it well it's actually quite important certainly particularly in the short run and this is why when we look at some of the potential retaliation tactics that the saudis have threatened we have to take them seriously the saudis have significant assets they hold probably the third most natural resources with about thirty five trillion dollars worth of natural resources within their territory and if the saudis do make good on this retaliation

threat potentially raising prices by cutting output of oil production raising all prices up to four hundred dollars per barrel from eighty yards per barrel which is about more than double just about the all time high of two thousand and eight all time high of one hundred fifty dollars per barrel that would have significant reverberations throughout the global economy but chris this is the era of fracking it's the air ovaltine it's of energy sources is saudi oil still as important today as it was juror in the one nine hundred seventy three old prices for example. well certainly it is important we can't underestimate how important it is and one of the largest or like spores in the world. you know can have significant influence over the price of oil they've used this in the past as a threat both frankly as a as a carrot as well as well as

a stick when we have implored them to try to reduce. the price of oil they've they've increased output u.s. shale exports and the shale industry has taken off we have seen a boom here in the u.s. and we're now on pace to beat saudi arabia and surpass saudi arabia by city bank's estimates next year as an overall leader in both crude and overall oil product exports but however in the short run that's what we have to be most worried about it's the short run repercussions of the saudis cutting output that would send shock waves throughout the global economy but i would say that that that's leverage it would diminish in the long run unless they diversify as the world continues to diversify itself from its energy resources many analysts say all prices can be a double edged sword can riyadh afford to use oil as a weapon. well yes and no i think

that the much like president trumps tariffs actually there is a short term you know short term pain and but there's also you know long term gain and you know countries will diversify themselves as necessary for example if we were to let's say somehow thwarts here or disrupt the u.s. saudi relationship that we've had for such a long time and let's say this arms deal of one hundred ten billion dollars were to fall through it's very likely that saudi arabia would would try to look for different sources different suppliers for for arms and that would be of course russia or china and so i think there's much too much to lose from any type of disruption with the u.s. saudi relationship not of course not only of course some of the regional stability that we enjoy by having an ally like saudi arabia to help for against terrorist

financing and and support and state support i should say for terrorist organizations but also it's the economic repercussions as well not just with the oil threat threats to cut output an increase in oil prices and that would in turn have the effect on transport of goods that are used of course use oil products as as a means of of energy but it's also just the overall economic impact that we've seen come out of the trunk administrations visit as its first international visit saudi arabia all right thanks so much fair analysis of that still to come on counting the cost dales all know deals a gathering took place this week to showcase saudi economic reforms we'll take a look at how successful it was off to a number of high profile names boycotted the event. but first from riyadh to san francisco all money from saudi arabia is being channeled into u.s.

space tech startups this way of financing is known as venture capital from saudi's point of view these kinds of investments can hedge against a potential decline in the demand for oil in the future that's because the start ups are tipped as having long term growth potential saudi sovereign wealth fund is called the public investment fund it traditionally had a strategy of low risk investments but everything changed in two thousand and sixteen that's when the kingdom sovereign wealth fund invested three point five billion dollars in it was the single largest investment ever made in a privately held company at the time controversially though a ban on women driving was still in place since then the kingdom became the largest investor in the ninety three billion dollars soft bank vision fund which is the biggest fund ever raised in silicon valley led by my so your shoes san japan based soft bank has changed the landscape of venture capital according to some reports rival venture capital firms warry soft bank could be pushing up valuations and

pushing them out of the market but says her show g.'s killing questions about morals and ethics are being raised saudi money could be viewed as a liability by startups and their customers rob reynolds has more on the relationship between rich members of the royal family and silicon valley in california. in the aftermath of the killing of jamal khashoggi at the hands of saudi government agents tech companies and their executives are distancing themselves from saudi investment but how each one of them makes that decision on their own i think is probably driven very much by their own moral conscience but also their understanding that other people are looking at them in their formal leadership positions for cues about what to do right now several tech leaders have already bailed out of crown prince mohammed bin summons investment conference including google cloud c.e.o. diane green a.o.l.

founder steve case and guber c.e.o. darren shockey who said he was very troubled by reports of cars show g.'s death cost for a shot he's public comments were seen as significant because the saudi wealth fund holds a three and a half billion dollars stake in the right hailing app saudi arabia has also invested heavily in tesla motors door dash the work space company we work and others much of the saudi money is funneled through the japanese bank softbank the world's largest investment fund so far saudi arabia has put forty five billion dollars into soft bank so-called vision fund and the crown prince says it like to double that amount as tech companies recoil from the saudis on ethical grounds it will be difficult if not financially impossible to unravel their saudi tie as

a complex tangle of contract stock preferences and legal obligations tied companies hands in such matters in some ways this case is providing an opportunity for companies to really provide some ethical and moral leadership maybe at a time when they're not seeing or experiencing what they'd like to see from leadership in other sectors silicon valley corporations face a dilemma choosing between an ethical response to a shocking crime and the abundant funding that makes the tech industry flourish. well joining me now from singapore is i mean day i mean it is a jap hand stock market strategist with singapore based isometric advisors good to have you with us so how much damage has the whole affair done to the attractiveness of saudi money in the tech world right now or is difficult for the moment but i mean the likelihood is that it's going to.
