if it deems them to have ordered the killing or to be associated with it even a unit of the saudi government that's been involved in acts of corruption or human rights violations in the past it does seem though this moment in time if you'll also following the news broadcasts that public prosecutors from saudi and turkey can really have as many meetings as they warned the impasse remains as we know it but how important is it that the u.s. role in this in trying to sort of get some traction on the case is important without sort of looking partisan yeah well i think what you're seeing here in the united states is a real bipartisan sense that saudi arabia has gone too far and that there need to be serious repercussions from the trump initiation so we're seeing the back and forth between the turks and the saudis now of course what the saudis come forward with in terms of evidence that's made public is going to weigh heavy on decisions

being made by the u.s. government but i think there's still going to be a very strong sense that the u.s. government needs to act if there's any belief that the saudis haven't completely come clean up to and including this the highest levels within the saudi government but it's also about sort of sanctions as you say what sort of sanctions could the u.s. place i mean you talked about visa restrictions and we've also heard from president trump who said that he's not willing to jeopardize a military deal with saudi woman does wear the the the ground is in between that will please all appease the politicians across. america and also please his international partners in the european union and also turkey. well i think what the task before secretary of state pompei o and president trump and other senior american officials is right now is to calibrate the right approach if at the end of the day what happens is the trump administration for instance

sticks only with these travel restrictions that are that are fairly minor penalties in the grand scheme of things the u.s. congress is not likely to let that pass i think the trump administration is going to need to do much more from the executive branch and if it doesn't then i think we're going to see relatively quickly the u.s. congress act in ways that are going to be more significant on capitol hill right now there are ongoing discussions about limiting arms sales to saudi arabia that support the conflict in yemen among other things and then also advancing bills that would limit broader u.s. support under the war powers act to support saudi arabia and the united arab emirates and others involved in the conflict in yemen so the trump administration needs to be seen as doing a nuff and if not given the signals we're seeing right now the u.s. congress may step in we will see you know what does up and listening to get your

best because there hasn't been an official statement from lion air so we are still hoping for the best but increasingly speculation is turning to a problem with the instruments in the cockpit giving false readings lion air has confirmed there was a technical problem with the plane before it took off from bali to jakarta on sunday it says the issue was fixed but during that flight the pilot reported problems with the flight control system and satellite data collected by independent flight monitoring websites shows unusual fluctuations in speed and altitude soon after it took off from bali the situation stabilized in lyon is says the problem was fixed again when it landed in jakarta and it was cleared to take off on monday morning it crashed some twelve minutes after it left the indonesian capital small pieces of debris being found but the search for the main wreckage continues how the new area today we've adjusted our calculations and widened our search areas to

working group fifteen on each side member the man my secretary for foreign affairs say that they have facilitated a process for good repair and he went to say that we have trained our security and police agencies on public eye where nessa not to discriminate against as they have also have set up a provision where yes could actually complain about any discrimination or any kind of repression or atrocities and he didn't go into much more detail what he's emphasizing on that a political will he said we have the political will to do it patrick refugee has asked for bangladesh counterpart the foreign secretary sure he lacks aid that it's a complex process but we are optimistic that this time it will happen because there is a political win but it will make sure there is a conducive environment prevailing in the area where those refugees would will be taken now we know in the previous visit by the bangladesh foreign ministry minister

rather they said there is about two hundred fifty houses been built by india and about thousand houses been built by china to act or use it as a process center before they're sent to their respective villages down the road that's basically all we know now this contradicts to the recent u.n. fact finding mission in its investigative report it's a the genocide has still been going on over there and there are about two hundred fifty to four hundred thousand growing jobs are still in the right kind stayed there facing very risk of an environment and repressive it i need say the me and my government showing no sign of establishing any democracy out there right now we also had the problem and human to human rights bodies say that there is no conducive environment for refugees to return they want to secure and transparent situation before anyone. can return to me on my own now having saved all those the

security environment there for them to feel confident to go back under this circumstance but we'll have to see he said by made november they will start a batch processing the love little more detail tomorrow when the visit there are going to refugee camp in cots but they were not willing to answer that how many will be repatriated we'll have to see this just a diplomatic brinkmanship or they're serious about taking back this range of refugees will continue just all over and certainly tomorrow when the delegation heads south of the country thank you it's a bit of a charity there in dhaka. most of the members on sri lanka's parliament have signed a letter to the president asking for parliament to be reconvened the call is being backed by supporters of the ousted prime minister neil we could have a singer who's refused to leave the prime minister's office since he was sacked but before we go on let's remind ourselves about how sri lanka ended up in this crisis and who the key people are what first it was the sack to prime minister real ranil

wickremasinghe or he was dismissed on friday but refuses to accept it he believes that he's in command of a parliamentary majority but can't prove that because the man who fired him president and not to the palace at a center has suspended parliament the reseller says the decided to get rid of wick of a single because one of his cabinet ministers was involved in an assassination plot the president replaced with a single with this man the former president mahinda rajapaksa he was a strong man the last has a strong man reputation of being in power when the government ended decades of civil war ben smith has more from sri lanka's capital colombo. these are the fouls and fouls of protesters and the speaker i'm sure lanka's parliament are calling on president by for a policy or a saner to recall parliament so that it can vote on whether the man holed up in the prime minister's official residence at the end of that road is still in fact prime

minister on friday president serious cena fired prime minister ran over in a single he came out spoke to the crowds earlier he told them he still will or for prime minister of sri lanka and he called on people to continue to protest to protect sri lanka's democracy. that. presidents are saying remove the prime minister from syria and replaced him with former president mahinda rajapaksa many people here especially the protesters say that it was unconstitutional i think everyone is really surprised by what happened everyone's really shocked everyone in the feels like they need to figure out how we can stop this leak like this happen not on our watch we are hoping that approaches protests of this nature by citizens by the people of sri lanka will the right to do for the government to follow the democratic process the president says exacted constitutionally bushra lanka's constitution which changed

a couple of years ago taking powers away from the president and giving it to parliament the prime minister is the one who should come out and the parliamentary majority that is why people say what's happened recently is unconstitutional and they fear a threat to sri lanka's democracy. now the u.s. government is sending more than five thousand troops to its southern border in a show of force as groups of refugees and migrants make their way north from central america president trump purse describe the so-called lichen curve and as an invasion mike hanna has more from washington d.c. . this is what's described as a readiness exercise customs and border protection officers deployed in full riot gear at the us mexico border a short distance away hundreds of people lined up to wait for a chance to request asylum in the united states but with thousands more migrants on their way the trumpet ministration has decided to deploy soldiers in support five thousand two hundred the initial number on the border. we are preparing.

for because the french quarter billion already. right now if you think they are right now. if you look at how we organize with it before the rico or you around the check. before don't we form and an insistence from the theater commander that the operation is constitutional and not in breach of posse commie tartus the civil war era law that prohibits the offensive deployment of troops on u.s. soil with respect to posse comitatus everything that we're doing is in line with an adherence to us they want to exception that allows troops to be deployed offensively 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 at what tomorrow is border with mexico as hundreds try to force their way across to join the large group of 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 mid-term elections in which president trump has explicitly said the issue of immigration should play a dominant role mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well it's all very often we describe the weather as both being bald and violent that's exactly what seems to be

happening in europe right now it is not the only constant is there are going to focus on the moment it started friday when the real cold air came to town to spain it snowed ok that's not unusual however to get this sort of snow down stories which is northwestern spain even at low levels in october is it is a bit early to be honest again in the mountains yes you'd expect that it happens in spain but leave it to november december even if in january so this is a bit of a shock and it wasn't just the cold it was quite windy to do some damage done and yes some people enjoyed it not everyone was prepared for very obvious reasons and of course it'll come back again but the cold air once coming over spain then hit the warm waters nation our warm western med so for two days we've had the building of a violent area of low pressure which is now actually over the north sea but what it did in croatia was brought the seas up and this is just the coast of croatia it isn't supposed to quite this violent or other so yes you do get some vicious vicious weather usually comes from inland in the coast of crozier quite often gets

the wind out of the interior of burra but this is off to see quite clearly and you've already know it's happened in venice these are unusual floods they do happen very regularly you get the water rising above the wars for this is exceptionally high again it's brought in by the amount of rain and indeed the wind that brought ashore with it the worst weather at the moment has moved northward towards xander that i think this will regenerate over the next five days so. thanks very much rob well still to come in the news are a japanese still judges ordered to pay south koreans for war time forced labor also the nato exercises in norway for a closer look at a new battlefield technology. and in sport will bring you all the thrills and spills from the indoor sky diving world cups one of those details later in the program.

is now one way of telling the story keeping is telling right and to be i suspect the best artist there is a great pleasure to know the person for who tells time. history has called it the great work in the first episode conscription draws hundreds of thousands of our of troops into both sides of the conflict their story is rarely told but had a huge impact on the course of the. world more and more through our robot lives on al-jazeera.

welcome back you're watching the avs their news hour with me so hold robin a reminder of our top news stories turkey's president says he believes some sort of game is being played out over the murder of jamal khashoggi in order to protect someone reza tobar the one also says that he's spoken to the leaders of germany and france and brief them on new details of the killing of the saudi journalist sources have told al jazeera that the saudis have handed over testimonies from eighteen suspects being held in the kingdom. a majority of m.p.'s in sri lanka have signed a letter to the president asking for parliament to reconvene the call is being backed by supporters of ousted prime minister with forever single who's refused to

leave his official residence the president of the placed him with the former president rajapaksa and suspended parliament. after a meeting in bangladesh demian maia government has agreed to begin repacked creating bringing the refugees by the middle of next month rights groups say their return to rakhine state must be voluntary and dignified. another prominent us voice has emerged condemning mohamed been salon over the killing of john mark and saying that the saudi crown prince should go susan rice the national security adviser under president barack obama has delivered her scathing public opinion to the new york times here's some of what she wrote the young prince is almost certain culpability in mr skilling underscores his extreme recklessness and immorality while exposing him as a dangerous and unreliable partner for the united states it should be u.s.

policy to sideline the crown prince in order to increase pressure on the royal family to find a steady replacement. our white house correspondent can really help get tons more on this from washington d.c. i mean kimberly damning comments really from one of the many political heavyweights across the u.s. that are really weighing in on this debate. absolutely and it just adds to the heavyweights that have been weighing in with similar opinion susan rice the former national security advisor the latest and she makes the argument in her editorial that essentially mohamed bin solvent of the crowd appearances character was revealed a long time ago and if you pull back and look collectively at some of the actions in recent months and years the the war on yemen and the refusal of the of the saudis to to limit the civilian casualties with targeted and hearing to the war rules of war and targeting those attacks the locking up of axis activists the.

kidnapping of the lebanese prime minister the blockade of qatar even the sort of cutting of diplomatic ties to a certain extent with canada over a series of tweets this is the argument that susan rice is making that saudi arabia is not a reliable partner as long as the crown prince is making the decisions she's just adding to those who have already made that conclusion the former cia director michael hayden he says he believes the crown prince knew about the killing in the operation to kill. the former cia director brennan says there's no doubt the crown prince knew about the operation so susan rice is essentially building on what some of her colleagues have also concluded the point she's making in all this though is that something needs to happen as so she is in turn putting pressure on the trumpet administration making the point that military sales need to be suspended the military support the united states is giving to the saudi led coalition yemen needs to stop but most notably she also says that donald trump and she criticizes it here

she says he needs to end his quote infatuation with the crown prince in order to protect u.s. interests because once his position is pretty clear notably they're watching closely because globally i mean they have been the ones that are so when being vocal about any meaningful future of punishment pending a full report. yeah but it is it's not clear that that that sort of playing both sides is going to be able to last given the pressure from the u.s. congress the international spotlight what seems to be happening here is that donald trump has made the calculation with his aides that there is no advantage to weigh in on the story for the next week why because we have the congressional elections now one week away donald trump is focused on campaigning for that issues and speaking about issues that will attract voters we did have a white house press briefing on monday where the press secretary sarah sounders said the white house is still weighing all its options the president of course met

with the cia director gina housefull late last week she would not confirm whether or not she had heard the audio of the interrogation and killing. but she did say that the white house has not finished looking at the story not that it's looking at this case and in fact there is again that pressure mounting from congress in order for the white house to act and donald trump has said that he would not rule out what he called severe punishment if he believed that the crown prince or any level high level of the saudi government was involved for the moment so we'll leave it there complete of cool so the story continues to develop we will come back to with more analysis and when thank you the japanese steel company is being ordered to compensate for some of koreans for the forced labor during world war two south korea's supreme court ruled that steel must pay eighty seven thousand dollars each the company has called the ruling request to pull japan will keep a crew from one hundred ten to one hundred forty five and is accused of the fully

apologizing or paying with ration is to koreans who were made to work without pay. more or less i'm joined now by david warren in london he's a former british ambassador to japan you know serves as chairman of the japan society of the united kingdom and he's an associate fellow of chatham house good to have you with us because of how this decision is going to be received in the corridors of power in japan. it's been received very badly in japan the prime minister and the foreign minister of made clear that the decision of the supreme court in seoul is unacceptable to them the japanese argue that the issue of compensation for those who suffered during the japanese colonial rule of japan and specifically during the water time period was settled in one thousand sixty five by the treaty which normalized relations between japan and korea which agreed a high level of compensation for those who were affected so as far as the japanese

are concerned the issue was settled then and the court's decision now to insist that the japanese company nippon steel should pay additional compensation they will say is unacceptable does this create a diplomatic fissure between seoul and tokyo in the way that both sides have to deal with a child or regard regardless of the one hundred sixty five packed. it does the issue of history and specifically japanese treatment of forced laborers and what are often called for comfort women in forced prostitution during the japanese rule of korea has afflicted the relationship for many years as i say the japanese argue that the issue was resolved by the treaty of normalization and the compensation which was agreed then but it continues in recent years particularly as

those affected grow older there are now very few individuals left who are still alive who suffered during that period indeed of the four men who brought this case against nippon steel which is twenty one years old i think only one is still living so the issue for the koreans is a live issue and successive korean governments that given it more momentum to the frustration of the japanese and also i think to the frustration of the americans who are concerned that their two key allies in northeast asia should be attacking each other at this very volatile and uncertain time your circus where mr warren loves it is going to consign a u.s. korea so it would want to come in there because it is going to concern the u.s. not really my next question because they've been trying to build this sort of try or curve understanding in an area that's beset with regional tensions north korea being one china's claims over the areas of the south china sea. that's absolutely right they're concerned specifically to maintain this close as

a as possible relationship between japan and korea as they take forward the process of trying to work for denuclearization of the korean peninsula the japanese are themselves deeply worried by kim jong un and his activities and north korea's assembling a nuclear capacity i think they are privately also worried about the free lancing of the u.s. administration in recent months with the president trumps summit with kim jong un and they're concerned about the unpredictability and volatility of u.s. policy so understanding the u.s. strategy and from the u.s. and japanese point of view being able to speak with one voice in the region is very important not only to the americans but also the japanese and however deeply feels for the victims of japanese colonial rule during the period of occupation of korea this legal ruling by the supreme court presents

a complication in that strategic objective and it will see how this pans out certainly in the weeks and months at the moment david warren thanks so much for joining us from london thank you. now we've been given another snapshot of our impact on the planet and it's quite alarming conservation groups the world wide fund for nature says humans have brought about cataclysmic destruction to biodiversity it says populations of mammals birds fish reptiles and amphibians declined by sixty percent between one nine hundred seventy and two thousand and fourteen the biggest losers almost ninety percent were in central and south america the organizations as humans are squarely to blame with habitat destruction overfishing and overhunting all having a major impact on all of this isn't just having an environmental effect the w w f highlights how nature provides goods and services worth about one hundred twenty five trillion dollars

a year now some australia's best loved animals are losing their homes as trees are cut down the koala is in crisis thomas reports now from port stephens. they're one of two animals australia is known for but unlike kangaroos koala numbers of fulling fast cars kill them as do dogs and disease but the central cause one that lies behind all those threats is human destruction of the places koalas live forcing them closer to people and each other it all comes back to habitat loss if quality has lost habitat they have to come down search for habitat which then makes them have to cross the road so this is that the boat being hit by cars and attacked by dogs as well north of sydney this small rehabilitation center is about to be transformed into a full koala hospital costing two million dollars the state governments of new south wales will pay for it but that's the same governments a campaign is which is allowing even encouraging the destruction of koala habitat

where incredibly appreciative that we're getting this hospital we need this hospital but the laws that allow the habitat clearing and it's give on one hand and on the other last year new south wales relaxed laws controlling the amount of land farmers can clear of trees as a result of the new report lang clearing rates have tripled those behind the report say that if current trends continue while it's could be extinct in the wild in new south wales by twenty fifty it's really shocking and it's certainly within our power to stop but if we don't stop habitat destruction we will be the ones that will save these animals in the few in the wild for the last time you south wales environment minister turned down a request for an interview with the state government says old lang clearing laws were too restrictive bombing and development does not need to threaten koalas but this patch of wet and forest north of sydney illustrates the subjective nature of

parts from the notice that china state council issued in one thousand nine hundred three about the ban on the trade of tiger and rhino parts do not match the existing law and it did not take into account the legitimate practical needs such as medical and scientific research educational use and cultural exchanges and besides the tiger bones and rhino horns it didn't establish strict regulation on the trade of other tiger and rhino products. the united states and israel are the first foreign trips planned by brazil's new president at home many are worried about bowls and his controversial comments about women as well as gay black and indigenous brazilians from rio de janeiro trees or by reports. lives in the largest. people living here have to deal with poverty and insecurity every day but now that i was elected president many are not sure of what's coming next.
