the abolishing of the exit requirement for the majority of them the new law is seen as a courageous step by which qatar seeks to assume a pioneering role in the gulf region in terms of human rights. human rights watch has described the law as the first of its kind in the gulf region but it says the law fall short of international human rights legal standards it is a very good step forward however. there we still have reservations about these laws because it falls short of their international obligations as specially when it comes to freedom of expression and it's important to. to provide a. safe haven for this kind of law however it is still very politically sensitive that has been criticised by its neighbors especially the country for providing this kind of safe. political dissidents really do in context might be sensitive but qatar is going to host the football world cup within four years from now and aside

hello and welcome to the program. so the president is accusing saudi arabia of stalling the investigation into the killing of jamal khashoggi ship type of the one says the aim is to protect someone is ramping up the pressure and wants to know where the journalist body is. saudi arabia's chief prosecutor metis turkish counterpart for a second time in istanbul after what turkish sources called an un satisfactory first meeting on monday sources say the site is finally handed over the testimonies of eighteen suspects who were being held in the kingdom where the suspect should be tried is being argued over turkey is calling for their extradition and the saudis insist they'll be tried at home before we get to our guests let's hear what president of the one had to say. we should we can't leave this case unsolved revealing who killed is a humanitarian and ethical duty is also a judicial and political duty there's no point in putting illogical obstacles

there's no point in stalling in order to save someone. the white house says it's continuing to consider its options the president met last week with cia director gina haskell after having gathered additional intelligence on her overseas trip and the administration is weighing different options will make an announcement about what the decision of that action. austria's foreign minister is backing calls for the european union to stop saudi cells karen could also told a german newspaper developed the holts in arms deliveries proposed by chancellor merkel would be a correct signal the horrible war in yemen and the cat's a crisis should be reason enough for the european union members to adopt a common stone source saudi arabia if we all the entire european union would stop arms and the reason saudi arabia this can contribute to ending those conflicts.

let's introduce our panel in birmingham scott lucas a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham and a specialist in u.s. relations with the middle east in istanbul via skype andrew finkel a foreign correspondent in istanbul and co-founder of p twenty four an initiative to promote independent journalism a welcome to you all would like to bring in with you andrew if and call in istanbul president or the one they're referring to the protection of someone who is he referring to who's he alluding to that well he he is. clearly turkey has several aims in this in this exercise it's he's they're trying to. see that justice should be done. and of course at the same time they are playing a geostrategic game so they're very giving with big regional politics and at the same time they really want to see that. justice for this

for mr kershaw is done and seen to be done and often these two objectives they're really telling us eyes we'll saying a change of tone and president are the ones rhetoric he seems to be ramping up the rhetoric he began this crisis very diplomatic and then as the leaks came out he took ownership of those leaks and he was very angry towards the saudis in their cooperation is this a measured approach or a sense that he's just simply frustrated and wants to get to the bottom of all of this. well i think you know he as i say he's playing a very serious game here he's you know taking a very large economy the saudi tiger by the challenge trying to shake it he seems to be at the other very very sweet thought that he was intent on really causing not so much regime change but but trying to if not actually bring down the

crown prince of saudi arabia at least to diminish is authority. dramatically now it could be that he's engaged in a very serious game of law that there's high stakes here that we may not even know about negotiations behind the scenes that turkey is trying to extract benefits and privileges from this turn of events or it could be as you say simply is fed up and wants to see once the saudis to bring the culprits the justice let's bring scott in you had what president of the one had to say that he feels that someone is being protected is that some want the crown prince mohammed bin solomon do you think. you've got it in one. it's interesting though that aired on it won't name the crown prince and he has refused to do so in speeches over the past couple weeks the one person he will name is king solomon he'll talk about the king very

respectfully as the guardian of the two holy places in saudi arabia his majesty and at that level i think carol once again is you know king we like you but you need to do something about your boy now whether that doing something about the crown prince is to remove the crown prince or really to contain him to limit his ambitions that's one question the second is what turkey wants beyond the crown prince is it really just a case of getting justice for her so she is murder or is turkey trying to get leverage against saudi on regional issues for example the saudi led blockade of qatar saudi involvement in other areas such as iraq and syria or even some would say the most ambitious goal of being seen as the leader of the sunni muslim world but all of those things have been discussed over the last few weeks but the turkish president hasn't made any demoed certainly publicly as of yet has he. well because you don't put all your cards on the table at the start i mean anders absolutely

right that this is a very high stakes game and you keep cards in your hand and again you do this at two levels one is that the turks and this is at the root of their disagreement with the saudi prosecutor who's just visited as they are holding back some of the evidence that they have they're not revealing the exact extent of what they've got that's to keep the saudis guessing and secondly when it comes to your aims you don't immediately play your cards and say we want a b. and c. you watch to see how the other side moves and i think right now we're still at that first stage we're still at that stage i think where accuracy deciding how vulnerable mohammed bin solomon is they're looking at other parts of the world and interestingly enough not just the u.s. not just europe but remember most arab countries have backed the saudis it's not just u.a.e. it's countries like jordan and egypt so if everyone makes a move in the region he's got to make sure that those countries won't come fully to the defense of the saudis if he isn't deciding on a confrontation and you've been reporting on this story for

a while now the saudi prosecutor met his take his counterparts the first meeting certainly the say at least was disappointing the second meeting allowed them to get access to the statements from the eighteen suspects what's the next move what did that what's the next kind of investigative diplomatic move between the saudi state prosecutor and his turkish counterpart do you think. well. on the surface it would look like the next move is found maybe but turkey is very keen on having me the eighteen suspects repatriated to turkey where they would stand trial and i think the chances of that happening are very slim so they're clearly you know they're there as part of this evade some poker game or a legal process that we have yet to decide but you know what the next move is there will be make this very serious the matter and that you know justice be seen to be done and be seen to be done at the scene of the crime which is the boat where this

murder to write is. still there because i'm bumming him took he doesn't have a great record on human rights has been criticized by by thomas to international and human rights watch for arrest without charge for cracking down on journalists for cracking down on blog is unsettling in some parts of the u.s. we've heard that there is fair that they will not get a fair trial in either saudi arabia or turkey so this idea that perhaps the trial should take place internationally where do you land on this wendy what do you think do you think there is a potential for an international trial or is this about turkey and saudi arabia and the trial taking place in one of those countries. well first you're right to mention that no one comes into this with clean hands and given that turkey is the largest detainer of journalist per capita and given the purge of many thousands of people from the turkish system teachers students lawyers the military since the failed coup july two thousand and six taint this case isn't being pursued by president erdogan in the name of human rights that said the real gap is we have no

international legal authority that i think can step in here remember that this murder took place on saudi soil technically because it was within the const the consulate in istanbul and we have no you know the international criminal court interpol whose head is detained in china coincidentally right now there's no one that can step in so i think the most likely outcome if i was to bet on it right now would be that turkey will not get the eight hundred suspects they will try them instead in absentia in a turkish court that way they can reveal their evidence and if they decide to name the crown prince almost as an unindicted coconspirator they have that option that seems a very dramatic move it will certainly ratchet up tensions between turkey and saudi arabia if they are tried in absentia where does that idea come from is certainly the first time i've heard. well i think the idea is simply that you have the option of how far you want to go politically and it is politics not the law that runs here

which is you can make the argument that because the eighteen moved outside of the consulate for elements of this murder for example of course they had to get from the consulate to the airport to get out of the country because they moved vehicles around that are supposedly tied to the murder you can make the case that they have broken turkish law as i said trying the nose sencha it is an option it is not one which has been often used for defendants from another country but it is just very much of how much aaron one himself wants to go in terms of embarrassment at one level and two i think in making demands of the saudis which is all right perhaps we won't take this all the way in terms of trying to send up sencha if for example you give me a b. and c. the question is as we've just discussed what are a b. and c. going to be. a trial in absentia do you think that could even fly with a in certain circles will is this just another option on the table. well it's

a i suppose it's a partial option that way the cherished judicial system works it's like a french investigative magisterial and best investigation they could begin a case they could present their their evidence if it's legal examination as opposed to a trial that begins on monday and ends on a friday so they could certainly initiate criminal proceedings. and of course a consulate is different from an m.d.c. as far as i know that it's not all of the consulate premises have that extra territorial status that embassy would have so it is it would be possible to say that perhaps we don't know in which wound in the consulate this murder is meant to have taken place but it may be possible to claim that indeed it did take place and . school the simple thing and you are an expert and u.s. relations with the middle east we had an.
