al jazeera. and for you. this is al-jazeera. and you're watching the al-jazeera news our life my headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes new prime minister his appointment is legitimate amid a mounting political crisis. also turkey reveals gruesome details of murder but saudi arabia still keeping quiet also plucked from the depths divers in indonesia find the flight data recorder of the lion a flight that crashed killing one hundred eighty nine people. protecting want

lyings beneath the push to turn the remote part of the planet into the world's largest sanctuary. be with us welcome to the new prime minister has told al jazeera his appointment is legitimate and says he's now getting on with the job the two time former president was controversially appointed a week ago after his successor prime minister. critics say the dismissal is unconstitutional because parliament should decide on expected to be recalled next week to vote on the leadership change will burn it smith joins me now live from the sri lankan capital colombo what did rajapaksa have to say. well so how many rajapaksa turned up a couple hours ago through the prime minister's office is beyond me but another working days been in this position almost

a week since that controversial appointment but when we managed to speak to him on his way into the office he was confident in his in the security of his position is your of a loved one legitimate you think serve us it's the institution that is perfect the argument is that parliament should be deciding who's the prime minister not to normal. read the constitution of the new training and so your immediate plan search for a now you're assuming the prime minister's position to be given the order of his dog how will you get enough support from parliament how will you get the n.p.c. one. hundred thirty four and so why the delay in recalling part and what are we hanging on for norm because we want to. get ready for the i did but it is all a numbers game really a waiting game until parliament is convened and that's the real sort of sticking point isn't it. it is the sticking point because

two kilometers away from me down the rows is temple trees the official residence of the prime minister in there is running away from a single he's refusing to leave because he says he is the legitimate prime minister and he says that because a couple of years ago constitution was changed to take power away from the executive president and give it to parliament the prime minister is supposed to be selected by parliament and wickramasinghe or says that's what happened not happen because the president suspended parliament and the suspicion is the president suspended parliament to allow mahinda rajapakse enough time to get the votes now we expect parliament will finally be reconvened next week rajapakse is confident he's got the votes but even then the suggestion is that the way he took over the premiership was unconstitutional and we're missing a says he's staying in that office until parliament says otherwise bernard was the

atmosphere like you've been there a few days now i mean within the general populace because sri lanka has been rocked with civil war over the years and political uncertainty i mean it really doesn't need this sort of imbalance after quite a lengthy semblance of peace. it's strange in a way so because it has been fairly quiet the world large protests a couple of days ago on the streets outside be official residents to support wickramasinghe are calling for parliament to be recalled that hasn't been much since then and i think people really are waiting to see what parliament says if parliament votes to endorse effectively the president's appointment of rajapaksa as prime minister then he's going to get away with it and wickramasinghe will be in a very difficult position and he's going to have to leave you'll probably have to leave the official residence so i think if that happens it will remain quiet however. thinks or we understand that he says he's still got the parliament behind

him so if he wins or. rajapaksa would be forced to go but it could create considerable difficulties or see what happens certainly in the coming hours and days of the moment thank you. it's going to our other top story now and turkey has revealed the gruesome details of what happened to some of the journalist in critic jamal khashoggi its chief prosecutor says shoji was strangled to death as soon as he entered the saudi consulate in istanbul a month ago saudi arabia has yet to respond to the revelations awesome has more. as a saudi chief prosecutor was on his way to travel back to his country his turkish counterpart released a statement detailing. the final moments of the consulate. according to the horrifying account hoxsey was strangled to death as soon as he got into the

consulate on the second of october his body dismembered and the blast remains shrouded in mystery. turkish investigators are still trying to find out what happened to the remains of his shakti who gave the order to kill him and the identity of the local corporator tasked with disposing of the body in fantasy dan turkey's chief prosecutor also sat his counterparts are over there. wasn't fully cooperating turkey blame saudi arabia for stalling the investigation. this is not an advantage or can be done without an order from a high level the organization of this event has been premeditated at the saudi chief prosecutor stated and it has been done in such a brutal way as declared by our own chief prosecutor as well because he was killed as soon as he entered and was later dismembered how far in advance has his brutal

his advantage been found and who gave the order we are in a position to see this clearly from the start we haven't accused anyone but we will not allow a cover up it will not you know. saudi officials initially denied the outspoken journalist was killed but backtracked and international pressure admitting it was premeditated the kingdom insists crown prince mohamed bin cell man had no knowledge of g.'s fate turkey seems determined to press ahead with his own investigation the wording of the general prosecutor's statement suggests officials here are confident they have enough strong evidence about what happened when. the sergeant consulate in istanbul about a month ago. pro-government newspapers in tokyo raising more questions about the investigation especially why saudi arabia's top diplomats in istanbul

being questioned turkish prosecutors suspect the consul general general and station chief paved the way for. that's going to very latest from say in a call to who joins me in istanbul and ready for the first times that you know we have this official report issued by the chief prosecutor of istanbul and it really is beginning to shed some light on definitely a very fraught working relationship between turkey and riyadh in terms of this case . well yes it's been a month since the murder of three and over the past months we have been receiving our leaks leaks to the media leaks that from the intelligence service but for the first time the prosecutor himself to assemble chief prosecutor the man who is leading the investigation he revealed the details about the murder she was strangled shortly after entering the consulate in his body was cut into pieces and clearly this dismisses the saudi arabian narrative that the saudi agents were sent

to try to convince our persuade jamal khashoggi to return to riyadh and that there was some sort of an argument or a fistfight and he died accidentally but bringing back what you talked about the lack of cooperation while yes turkish officials have been frustrated for some time now they believe that saudi arabia has been delaying the investigation slowing down the process even the president himself saying somebody is trying to cover up for somebody somebody is trying to save somebody and that illegal obstacles are being put in the way of the investigation saudi arabia's top prosecutor was here on monday and tuesday and according to turkey well those meetings did not produce any tangible outcome and really the question that turkey wanted answered is where is the body or should we say body parts now that the prosecutor has said that she's body was cut into pieces other questions very. sampo why aren't why isn't saudi arabia questioning the two diplomats who served inside this consulate for so many

years the saudi consul general and the saudi military attache who they believe orchestrated or was the mastermind behind the murder. the mastermind of the operation to kill she is how turkey's pro-government media describes this man the military attache of the saudi consulate. seen here at istanbul second airport subbie how gox and leaving for riyadh on september twenty ninth a day earlier she had visited the saudi consulate for the first time to request documents confirming his divorce was any was there and is believed to have scheduled the saudi journalists appointment on october the second the day he was killed the after she returned to stumble on the first of october and intelligence sources say briefed the saudi consul general. on the plan put together in riyadh to kill. the same day was a he was reportedly spotted in a consulate car scouting the belgrade forest on the outskirts of istanbul he flew

out of the took airport at nine hours after the saudi journalist let's killed. with the telephone traffic began after khashoggi left the consulate on september twenty eighth. made a cd the deputy head of intelligence to tell him about the showed his visit and was told to immediately travel to riyadh the turkish intelligence believes received a direct order to kill in saudi arabia and this wasn't just the work of saudi intelligence the order came from the crown prince mohammed bin samadhi turkish investigators identified what they call the hit squad fifteen saudi men including an autopsy expert and agents linked to saudi crown prince muhammad bin sandman investigators also identified three other saudis who arrived a day before the murder the intelligence leaks and statements from turkish officials in recent weeks point to a premeditated plan at the highest levels of the saudi government to kill her but

there are many questions that remain unanswered turkey for example wants to know why saudi arabia is not interrogating the saudi consul general and the military attache. the saudi consul general allowed reuters news agency reporters to visit the consulate four days after she disappeared. for opening cupboards and filing cabinets to show she wasn't there. her but i could i would like to confirm but jamal is not of the consulate nor in the kingdom of saudi arabia and the consulate and embassy are working to search for him. after two weeks of repeated denials and changes to their account of what happened saudi ministers eventually admitted she was killed inside the consulate but insisted it was an accident during a fight but in the leaks a tape it was not depicted as the men who called the shots. you know didn't call the evidence presented by turkey will prove to be true it showed saudi arabia lied

and saudi arabia was forced to backtrack its narrative many times turkey wants to close the case but saudi arabia is not cooperating with them operational that is needed turkish investigators suspect the plan was not just to kill him but to implicate turkey's government and his disappearance their plan backfired because she's fiance had these are centers was waiting for him outside the consulate and the body double who left from the back door wearing clothes was exposed as a fake saudi leaders are now the ones in a corner facing increasing demands for the truth also there is another twist to this ongoing saga an invitation by the saudis to the turks to take part in an investigation on saudi soil. yes the saudi chief prosecutor inviting is temple's chief prosecutor to come to riyadh so far we do not know if the chief prosecutor is going to accept that invitation but turkey is in

a difficult position because if it doesn't accept it will look like it is not cooperating while turkey believes the saudi top prosecutor came here not to cooperate not to help or not to anything to the investigation but to find out what turkey has what kind of evidence turkey has so it is unclear at the moment who is going to play the next move or what the next move will be but we have to remember that president or the guns have that they have a lot of evidence and they're going to release that at the right time when is the right time there is no doubt that the prosecutor statement was in a way a form of pressure on saudi arabia will of the turks for example use that much talked about audio recording to put saudi arabia in a corner you know to actually say where is the body because without the body there is no crime we shall see what happens in the coming days and weeks of the moments and thank you. still ahead here on the al-jazeera news

islands of nuru and manners and thomas as well from melbourne the consistent message of australia's government is that all refugees who tried to come to its shores by boat would instead be sent to man asylum to papua new guinea ought to know who they would never be settled here but we now know that quietly australian government has been bringing refugees here but securely in recent days and weeks and children who were on the road the pressure has really been growing on the government from all sides of politics m.p.'s in their own governing liberal party m.p.'s in the opposition labor party and public opinion polls now suggest that eighty percent of australians want the children brought to australia we now know that they are being brought here there are forty children still on the road to a fifty to a week ago more than a hundred when the current prime minister scott morrison came to office in august and in an interview in london a former minister has said that it is the aim of the australian government to have all the children transferred off the roof by the end of the year so despite the

lack of comment by australia's government despite all its talk about needing to maintain the terence for people trying to come to australia shores by boat in fact the children and their families are being brought here well refugee help groups of welcome the evacuation of the children to australia but government ministers insists their off policy is correct. we certainly and any circumstances don't want to start again that is just unimaginable four hundred deaths at sea if we are not going to stand for that but we continue to do the work to make sure those kids treated fairly and humanely and of course where near down to a very small number a man of the thirty eight children who woke up on the road this morning two months is a long time doctors have consistently said that this is a mental health crisis and they have won the government to get these children off

urgently david manne is executive director of the refugee and immigration legal center joins me now via skype from melbourne good to have you been on the program why do you think these children are being moved now by the government when they've had such a very thorough position on this issue is it all about mental health issues. but there is a growing recognition that that from medical reports from work of lawyers and also the tolerance here and the public that this is a mental health merge and see that there is an immediate and very private risk to the loss of children and their families and and now we've finally significant movement on the government to bring children through from the rear back . to side with they can get the men who care they made and band safety in australia but it's really this. issue and that it cannot go on and their lives are at risk at

this moment in time is it fair to say that the government is doing this pretty quietly why are they doing this under the radar. well the government is taking a very tough stance on the whole question of asylum seekers coming to us directly by bars and has what a very comprehensive and cost and the asylum seeker policy and which you're really trying to terence and it's in that context that the government certainly have been very quiet little action to bring in children to a strategy from never get with their families but the frequent use that are doing now increasingly and there is a growing recognition that it is absolutely possible in what is a humanitarian emergency that this occurred i would also say that there is very strong public sentiment that has grown in calling for children and their families that they are backed by the government that is under significant and massive

pressure on these the momentum in australia has shifted outward since measures clearly shift and also we can power that there is very significant pressure on the government to act urgently on this absolute process how much pressure is the government under mean this is going to you might say open up the box so that for criticism both within parliament and beyond that in the wider public domain because they have a very you might say be have had a very clear stance on this various governments around the moment it's a very shaky and very small majority that the current government of. that's right i think that there is a very significant shift going on in astronomy and i think that what we really saying now with all of the the evidence the medical evidence the extraordinary work of doctors including from medicine some from ts talk at times in our we're all

paying recently from the rich saying that and and courage and good medical system and some provided by medical care we also said the work of lawyers we say it in the public process for ideas is growing concern and i think that we also say in that context a very for the government very very different situation i think from a political winds are shifting and i think it's neck conflicts we also need for a member that it's not just children and families that are going for this terrible ordeal which is causing such devastating destruction to paypal not just two hundred families but also men and women who are all summer and down the room madness and i think that what we say here is further evidence of the critical name for a vessel action after years of this policy of traffic affectively exiling asylum seekers from a strategy that sure is islands and an astounding number when i think less from

but. we've had some severe weather over parts of europe recently and there's more still to come first of all let's have a look at what has happened so this is what happened a couple of days ago in the northern parts of italy this used to be a bridge but as you can see there's been a flood it's destroyed the bridge we've also had a fair amount of wind damage across this region as well so snow heavy rain giving us flooding and some strong winds and now we've got a repeat performance all fronts to this area of plantation see it just streaming its way northward and some of the worst of the weather is likely to be over the western parts of italy through sicily the eastern parts of sod india and into to near zero as well and this is the region where we're most likely to see some problems with flooding or maybe even some landslides as well and on top of this they could be some very large hail and maybe the tornado as well so this whole region then as we head through the next forty eight hours is where we're expecting to see some severe weather and you can see that just pushing its way not only into

the northeastern parts of italy but also through parts of slovenia and into croatia as well so they could well be some disruption across this region as well as it works its way northward as we hit the outs of the city there very high so we'll see a fair amount of snow here some places are expecting around sixty centimeters of snow and eventually this system will begin to ease as we head through the next few days but it's still going to meander across this region and could cause for the problems. there with sponsored by the time riis. in many countries pregnancy and childbirth a still extremely dangerous for mothers and babies most of the mother dying from the infection they being they were dying from or had preparation algis eva travels to malawi and looks at how rural communities a challenging tradition in order to reduce child in the toilet and improve maternal health. is too strong lifelines between life and death on

investigate the murder and impose sanctions should accountability be established the act gives the president four months in which to act but in a follow up letter a bipartisan group of house representatives has insisted that the investigation be concluded as quickly as possible threaten legislation can only come after the midterm elections congress is in recess until then but regardless of the election result president trump will then have to face up to a congress that is angry and it's an anger that in this case is shared across party divide mike hanna al-jazeera washington. well ahead of next week's u.s. midterm elections told trump post kept up his rhetoric on immigration the u.s. president's warned of tough action against thousands once made their way to the united states from central america from some of those trying to cross the border will be detained and not released a report from fort myers in florida. the first time supporters arrived thirty hours

ellice mother rosamond is convinced london's unlawfully high pollution killed her daughter and she's campaigning to have the cause of death recognized as air pollution and the suffolk. makes no bones about this from. just over annoyed she wasn't in a coma three to four times and she was lucky to survive those. long. and i have since learned. how agonizing that is. this is the area where ella grew up the traffic on this road that circle for the city is relevant less and there's a slightly sweet oily smell to the air out which one you're nervous about you feel it's only when you leave the city and then return the you notice how bad the air really is beth gardner is the author of choked she says london's pollution is

particularly bad due to the diesel taxis buses and delivery trucks clogging the city streets the more closely that scientists study air pollution the more that they are finding it really affects our health in a shocking friday of ways and when you think about it it really makes sense that the air we breathe permeates every part of our bodies the mayor's office says it's working to reduce the city's pollution they've introduced a twenty seven dollars a day charge for the worst polluters coming into the city center but the numbers are graham of the city's nearly thirty thousand black taxis just seven hundred are electric london has six hundred seventy five bus routes but only to use electric buses a couple of hours drive south from london buses in the city of southampton have been fitted with air filters on the roof the system cleans particles out of the air blowing clean air behind as it moves through the streets tinkering here and there

with filters the odd aleck. bus congestion charging is not going to bring the radical change needed. this is. to save the many lives like alice that are lost each year jessica baldwin al-jazeera london dermot cumberland dream is a scientist at the world health organization joins me now live from geneva good to have you with us before we get sort of the nuts and bolts of this called that's me what do you actually hope will be achieved from it or what we need to achieve from it you've already heard in that report we lose seven million la i use every year due to air pollution inside and outside the home pollution increases the risk of this increases the risk of heart attack an increased risk of stroke increases the risk of a cancer that is as big a death toll as we have from any other killer that we have it's comparable to two to that from from tobacco but i think the real reason that we're having that this

conference is the one that you've you've just heard it really brings it down to the level of the individual when you picture a child who has suffered from asthma throughout their life it has been provoked by air pollution that eventually takes their life if this was anything else that was killing children in that way i have to say we would we would have acted years ago and of course it's not one sort of you know if that one personal story using a little white ranger gets for these i'm not trying to enter the range of city activists civil activists. now so i do want to talk too much about to do want to carry with other questions that we have because it's not very one example that sort of replicated globally that should have an impact on governments and change their mindsets you might have a conference here in geneva but how difficult is it to change that that mindset and speak to those in power that can change public policy in their respective governments to make an impact to make

a difference on the streets of that country. well i think you've you've hit the. the crux of the problem for most other things we we have a disease we have a vaccine we can do something about it something like air pollution this comes from a range of different sources and so we effectively have to get the whole of society to act as a massive number of things we can do and you again you've heard about some of them in you and your report and everything that we can do to get a polluting diesel vehicle off the road get people into the cleaner vehicles or into public transport help save save the lives save the lives of individual children so that's the kind of community that we've basically brought together in the conference here in geneva which parts of the global community are at more risk than than others or are more guilty of not doing enough to try and sort the problem out because there's always a divide isn't there about the rich northern hemisphere and the poor southern.

well air pollution affects everybody there are a very few cities around the world where you can breathe air that meets the the guidelines of the world health organization considers states that less than ten percent of the world's population breeds a safe air in cities so it kills everybody and the other thing about it is you have no there's no way to avoid this risk factor for many other risk factors and stop smoking stop drinking everybody has to breathe so it it does affect everybody but as you've rightly pointed out it's not an equal opportunity killer it is the poor members of society who tend to live in the places that have the highest levels of air pollution they tend to live closer to more polluted streets and in the poorest parts of the world you have people cooking on highly polluted soused from highly polluting sources in houses or not that are not well ventilated and that is killing as many people inside houses as dying from air pollution outside of houses so we

have a global problem that has manifests in different ways in different parts of the globe so we're having to hit all of those targets which is why this is such a the whole of society. whole society effort indeed and of course a very interesting conference you have to be introducing what conclusions are actually acted on after it ends for the moment campbell landrum that's joining us from geneva. thank you as i'm just in switzerland have also developed an electronic implant that's not only helping paraplegics walk again but could also repair the damage spinal cords it's providing hope for patients years after their oxidants alexy o'brien reports. he had been told he would never walk again. sebastiano was paralyzed from the waist down after a bicycle accident five years ago but now thanks to breakthrough technology he's taking tentative steps forward so basically i had no ability to activate single muscles of both legs but we said that the model competes for right. and nor with

some training he's able to really. like for example of extension of his legs so basically you recover a lot of control over the body lice muscles despite you know more than four years of complete paralysis it's all down to a tiny electronic implant placed over the damaged area of the spinal cord it helps boost signals from the brain to his legs giving sebastiaan back some control over his paralyzed limbs and any any any antibiotics and all it's not easy and is taken months of rehabilitation but it's life changing progress they treat patients involved in the study he idea that you are repairing the injured spine or goals so you maybe don't know the mechanism but many many more that is we have clearly seen that with the state of training nerve fiber still to be growing we are going now using that's why the brain regained control over the movement of the leg

the first such implant was developed in twenty tain and earlier this year two other groups of scientists reported similar success but this research goes one step further targeting the alec tronic pulses to specific locations yak yak risperdal it's really like. like running a marathon and. eggs in your hands. and at the same time you're pushing as hard as you can so you really need to find a good balance of pushing hard and trying to get. the right timing in the right place the three main. the treatment for the most severe. room for improvement but definitely.

to. win something.

a place for the argentinians in the final. we know the value goals have when you're a visitor it's a big marriage of the players to have taken control in bonn as our eyes and even here in sao paolo a very difficult rival. when we scored the first goal and then the second goal that motivated us we had the chance of the third goal but it didn't happen i can now look forward to a showdown with vs one if there is a driver through the plate in the final surveiled malik al-jazeera. so dramatic on a brazilian size human is a won the second leg of their game against and to reach the semifinals they won one nail getting the goal in montevideo just off the half time home side or unable to find an equaliser three minutes held on to went to one on aggregate. fifa present genin frontiers again pushing the idea of increasing the number of teams at the qatar world cup and sharing the hosting rights with other nations in the region in
