beneath the push to turn a remote part of the planet into the world's largest century. welcome to the arabs their news answer lanka's new prime minister has told al jazeera his appointment is legitimate when the rajapaksa said he's now getting on with the job the former president was controversially appointed a week ago after his successor sacked prime minister run. critics say his dismissal is unconstitutional because parliament should decide m.p.'s are expected to be recalled next week to vote on the leadership change that smith has more from the capital colombo. he has all the trappings of prime minister including access to the office but the new prime minister mahinda rajapaksa is acting unconstitutionally his critics say because he was appointed by president by three policy. saina

a not elected by the members of parliament one of mr rajapaksa how useless i must see you is your of a look when legitimate you think serve us it's the institution of this budget the argument is that parliament should be deciding who's the prime minister not the normal norm as we did in stews in the new fight and so your immediate one search for a now you're assuming the prime minister's position i have long been ignored the bit of this the rajapaksa needs the backing of one hundred thirteen m.p.'s to solidify his return to power but the president suspended pollo meant some suspect he did that to give rajapaksa time to get enough support how will you get enough support from parliament how will you get the n b c one we have got that i'm going to be sure and so why the delay in recalling parliament what are we hanging on for no because we want to. get ready for the i did rajapakse that was at the prime minister's office to meet academics telling them there's no crisis as far as he's

concerned it certainly is a crisis but the ousted prime minister rudd no wickramasinghe or he's refusing to leave the official residence of the pm he says he remains prime minister because the power to sack him was stripped from the president two years ago by an amendment to the constitution the whole structure of government in the country is still very strong the executive. and the presumption is that the presidency is the strongest office. even though the mountain the amendment has made changes to that and therefore what the presidency has to see go rajapaksa served two terms as president defeated thomas separatists in a twenty six year long civil war but was accused of human rights abuses in the process his family and inner circle is under investigation for corruption and you're looking forward to your new positions are you looking forward to being prime minister really much like to play hard to bend the rajapaksa is presenting an image

of business as usual but we've run away from a single still claiming to be the legitimate prime minister things are far from usual parliament will though now get to have the final say it seems when it's soon recalled and m.p.'s get to vote bernard al-jazeera colomba cigar up new york go is a member of parliament he's the chief of staff to the dismissed prime minister ranil wickremasinghe joins me now on skype from colombo thank you for your time sir and good to have you with us live on al-jazeera you are still a sitting member of parliament and are you then still a minister in the we could have a single government. i still consider myself a minute in the government because. the current government is. not constitutionally appointed still missing still remain in the.

legal. and. heavy metal community. has not. been constitutional. how much of a constitutional crisis has just put sri lanka in and has the president then therefore far as your concerned overstepped the mark. that. because bush allowed for the president to remove the prime minister or to a quite a new prime minister of the nineteenth amendment to copy those powers from the president so the president no longer posts the constitutional powers to sack or applying that premise is appointed by either the one who has the majority. is the prime minister prime minister a new bigger misting fears that no one but is more fully me and he had

a decisive victory more shit if he didn't know this motion a large majority and he still commands that majority in parliament so therefore you are sorry to interrupt therefore you are quite convinced or certain that once parliament reconvenes on monday. prime minister we condemn a single will vindicate his position as the legitimate prime minister absolutely and that has. we have a. shot and then in up are all meant. well louis has a right to prove that. elementary. there was and he ended up for you have always imagined it.

or you could have asked this and has responded to the and we are very sure that graham is. me and really the problem is that we are getting side problems on the sky process so i'll ask you this last question and perhaps a brief answer the public seems very uncertain very confused perhaps even angry what words do you have for the sri lankan community at home and abroad watching what's going on across your island this government came into power for missing a government which. came to power promising people to restore democracy and we did that we started a very good. on a very good foundation of restoring democracy and loyalty. and this has been it lasted a lot and we don't want if you could if you want to get people. back and it marcus

interim leader in resigned to set new elections into motion. turkey's justice minister has demanded that saudi arabia cooperate fully in the investigation into the murder of the society journalist and critic jamal khashoggi turkey has revealed the gruesome details of what happened to him its chief prosecutor says georgie was strangled to death as soon as he entered the consulate in istanbul october the second saudi arabia has yet to respond to the revelations. as well. as the saudi chief prosecutor was on his way to travel back to his country his turkish counterpart released a statement detailing his final moments other sardi consolation 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 maze

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 blames saudi arabia for stalling the investigation. you should let them do time limit this is not an event that can be done without an order from a higher level the organization of this event has been premeditated as a 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 he was eventually violent and who gave the order we are in a position to see this clearly from the start we have 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 and to the subject consulate in istanbul about a month ago. is simple let's get the very latest now of war correspondents there who's in istanbul if any of the turkish chief prosecutor has made his feelings known about saudi cooperation but now we've got the turkish justice minister weighing in and really ramping up the pressure on riyadh.

yes turkey's justice minister saying we hope saudi arabia will enter into close cooperation with the us it's not the first call that has been made by turkish officials for saudi arabia to cooperate over the past few weeks we've heard this time and time again that saudi arabia is delaying the whole process slowing down the investigation even the president himself erdogan said that you know there are obstacles illogical obstacles that are being put in the way in the investigation to save someone and that a game is being played to protect someone so this is the feeling here the feeling is saudi arabia should do more saudi arabia's top prosecutor was in istanbul on monday and tuesday he held meetings with istanbul's chief prosecutor the man leading the investigation into the murder of. what we understand from turkish officials and sources inside the prosecutor's office they believe the saudi top prosecutor did not come here to share evidence and to help in the investigation he came here to find out what evidence turkey has and saudi arabia's top prosecutor

invited the istanbul chief prosecutor to visit and to participate in the investigations taking place there we still do not know if the a sample prosecutor will accept that invitation but we heard the justice minister say he doesn't believe that this will happen because in his belief it's just not the right time because we can't move to a next phase when church he has questions that remain on answered. the whole world's attention is on this matter so it cannot be kept a secret it's a concern for everyone for the conscience of everyone the world is calling for an answer we're asking for the saudi side to cooperate closely they need to cooperate and support the inquiry so the matter can be resolved of course that we had sort of the for the first time the sort of official report issued by the chief prosecutor of istanbul and to a certain extent it's really sort of shedding some light on sort of the fraught

dare i say it working relationship that turkey is having with ankara is having with riyadh. yes the reason why the prosecutor released those findings even though the investigation is still ongoing is really to put pressure on saudi arabia and the prosecutor off a statement late yesterday they talked about on food full meetings meetings that didn't produce any tangible outcome so but you know it's not just frustration with the saudi side there seems to be frustration with the u.s. administration as well this afternoon we heard the deputy head of the act party the ruling party actually addressed trump saying is he trying to cover up the whole murder i mean they're posing these questions because at the end of the day turkey is going to need the u.s. on its side if it is going to put enough pressure on the united states and what we understand is that yes administration is still weighing its options even though the cia director was in turkey last week and according to the turkish government media

and american media she actually heard those much talked about audio recording so pressure to bear also on the u.s. administration the head the deputy head of the ak party also talking about saudi arabia risking further isolation there is no doubt saudi arabia has come under a lot of international pressure and there is international outrage but so far it is not budging in the sense that it is not providing the information turkey needs first and foremost where are the body parts of it. for the moment they will leave it and of course come back to you when the world's problems thank you. donald trump is facing increasing pressure from across the u.s. political spectrum to take action against saudi arabia michaela has more from washington d.c. . president trump broke days of silence on jamal khashoggi death after being on asked whether he felt betrayed by the salty denial of responsibility for it but right now i just hope that it all works out we have a lot of back we have a lot of things that we've been with you that i've had betrayed me maybe they

betrayed them but to see i would hold. the national security adviser also helping him. as say as we expect there to be accountability for what happened which was which was criminal without any question and they have promised to do that and they have gone a long way already and we'll see what the next steps are and more pressure from congress for tangible action to be taken a group of republican senators to send to letter to the president demanding that civilian nuclear talks with saudi arabia be suspended the senate has already sent the president a formal letter invoking the global magnitsky act this insists that the president 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 threats and 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 as a great deal more coming up here on the al-jazeera news hour including a change of heart while strangers' government is moving child asylum seekers out of its prison islands. could the implant be the key to helping paralysis victims work again. also new sort of a showdown with their faces rivals in the final of south america's biggest club football competition those details coming up in sport.

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 papa new guinea ought to know who they would never be settled here but we now know that quietly australians 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 who were fifty two 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. refugee help groups of welcome evacuation of the children to australia but government ministers insist their actual kampala see is correct we certainly and any circumstances don't want the boats 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 we're near down to a very small number of i think the sixty eight children who woke up on narrow this morning two months is a long time doctors have consistently said that this is of mental health crisis and they have won the government to get these children are urgently. scientists on conservationists on debating whether or not to turn one of the remotest parts of the planet into the largest protected area on earth the weddell seen and talked to

topped off the glass is sweeping up james ross island at the weddell sea extends way to a distance over that proposed area pretty much just touched by human activity almost no scientific research is taking place. it's the realm of the penguin and myriad marien species but it's not the realm of man and many want to keep it that way the sentry proposal would protect an area five times the size of germany. part of the evidence being assessed by the end top to commission was gathered by the expedition submarine on board with the antarctic specialist suzanne look. it has one hundred percent coverage in the sea floor organism has a great three d. structure which allows other organisms to come in and if they're and a really interesting species composition and all these factors make it really difficult for i community to become hotter and to stamp it such as part of the fishing we call these areas fundable marine ecosystem and hopefully we can get to

this and other areas we come across that special protection that we saw firsthand how accessible the outer limits of antarctica have already become and now there's a huge effort to protect vaal swathes of this stunning taunton and the antarctic ocean commission has given itself the mandate to create this law scale network of marine protected areas it's given itself a mandate to use the best available science and we believe that the what will see fossil is absolutely fulfilling that monday scientific consensus around the world is that we need to be protecting roughly a third of the world's oceans by twenty thirty we've got to start down here in the most precious water so we have the e.u. proposal has to be supported by consensus of the twenty five member commission in hobart while there is a great deal of support it would only take one country to disagree and send the whole effort back to the drawing board. al-jazeera. well it started with his stuff but it really doesn't look pretty for europe to see it so it's just been one box of

misery after another so here's what happened last time then this is the last storm that we saw you see the amount of wet weather that we had over parts of italy because a fair amount of flooding there that destroyed this this was once a bridge well isn't anymore it's going to take a while before that's and restored and we've got yet more wet and windy weather with us at the moment take a look at the satellite picture you can see the clouds streaming northwards and this car is certainly giving us some very violent weather some of the worst of the rain it's every part of italy three sicily into parts of san antonia and as well here they could be around two hundred millimeters of rain in the next couple of days so launce of heavy rain on top of what we've already seen it is likely to cause more problems with flooding and potentially some landslides as well and as a system gradually slips its way north was we're also seeing some very strong winds to some parts of southern germany issuing warnings for winds up to one hundred thirty kilometers per hour and on top of that we're also seeing a fair amount of this rain turn to snow over many of the mountains as well as some

very stormy snow across many parts of the central mediterranean and that's going to stick around as we head through into saturday it looks like it's desponding a little bit by itself today but actually what the system is going to do is stay in place for the next few days so they can well be yet move problems as we head through sunday and even monday so. but looking good but thanks stuff still ahead here all al-jazeera with less than a week to go before the midterm elections the us president keeps the spotlight on white friends plus. i'm guessing the baldwin elano and one of europe's more cities for air pollution and find out why basketball's former m.v.p. derrick rose has brought to tears all the latest n.b.a. action coming up with paul. hate violence revenge an increasingly alienated generation is finding

intimidated because the spirit of america is back with the mid-term elections approaching the president is keen to get voters out in what is a vital state he hit the usual subjects of a booming economy and tax cuts that continues to push his immigrant agenda they want to invite caravan aftercare of into our country which brings crime upon crime . a vote for democrats is a vote to liquidate america's borders and it's a vote to let matt fenton all heroin and other deadly drugs for across our borders drugs that take the lives of over think of this over seventy thousand americans a year one of the key races in the sunshine state is for the senate florida's governor is hoping to unseat longtime democratic incumbent bill nelson and republicans that a vote for him is a continuation of trump's policies singer bill nelson who's been in office for

university here in qatar good to have you with us here on al-jazeera i mean what seems to be sort of the big issues all the issues that will make or break politicians in this particular election because migration and immigration seems has taken a hold of not just the white house but the whole discourse across america very much so most likely immigration and related issues of race will probably be a dominant factor both in democratic strongholds republican strongholds as well as in the purple districts that have mixtures in especially states like florida texas and others you will probably see this being a primary issue that will be on most voters' minds how much influence does sort of ration migration have on an election as an issue because we're hearing very much about health care or security or the economy in this case it's unique because it is taking up much more space than normally it would in this case partially because of trump it's a big issue for him partially because of the response from democrats and so forth

in terms of what maybe the racial underpinnings of some of this has tended to give it much more salient see than it would have in previous elections in terms of previous elections then do we see the fact or is that historically now a scenario where what we're hearing from president trump seems to be. again changing the way that he talks and takes over an issue. and it seems to dominate the whole discourse across the media across campaign rallies and in general even in the international realm as well world leaders are talking about what he's talking about in many ways yes probably the last person i can think of who did as well with his would be someone like franklin roosevelt back in one thousand thirty's and forty's trump is very good at knowing how to use the media environment to press along his ideas even with those who disagree with him it's perhaps one of his greatest skills in many ways the better for us we are actually hearing and seeing a great a number of people from. ethnic minorities latino's muslims come into the political

sphere and circle is this a new phenomenon or is it something that has been happening but we just sort of more focused on it now it has happened with other populations so an example would be thirty years ago cuban americans you start seeing first and second generations becoming politicians people like marco rubio ted cruz and so forth the dynamic is something we've seen but we are seeing new populations so the example of minnesota is important multiple muslim candidates candidates who are first generation second generation from somalia similar dynamic new populations that are involved here how much of the present trends rhetoric has been a precursor of bringing the new generation of ethnic minorities if i can put put them in that basket into the sort of political political domain that is american politics probably a goodly amount just in terms of its increases saliency of identity issues partially with the democratic party identity issues have been building up for

decades trump has kind of put this is much more at the forefront terms of voter and party saliency it always in the lead up to the beginning of the trump presidency in twenty sixteen we were continued to hear about the midterm elections and analysts that have been on this program on many other media programs have been saying the republicans are going to do badly the republicans are going to do badly and then we have trump saying that a third of americans believe the media is the enemy this is a very strange balance for people like us in the media where we are trying to certainly tell the truth as we see it in an impartial informed way yet we are deemed to be the devil no matter which way we say it is it is an interesting dynamic even on home soil in the u.s. very much so many ways this represents how democrats republicans live in almost different sort of perspective worlds in many ways for republicans trump is kind of giving voice to longstanding views of notions of media bias. for democrats

generally his talk of fake news and so forth is just him trying to attack the press in many ways. to be honest i don't envy your position in trying to figure out a balance between indeed whatever happens in the election for example if if the democrats make huge gains they will spin it in a way that you know what in whatever way they do if trump's sort of base roughly stays the same or just loses a little few percentage points how do you think that's going to work into the dynamics of both the house and senate most likely if he only loses a little bit so if you manages to maintain the senate republicans retain the senate new save the house it will probably start to me the progress of what he wants to do somewhat but it will probably remain moderately the same if there are major loss then most likely we will see a significant difference inside of the discussions going on in terms of what are the main issues health care and others will probably come back indeed we're talking the roles of hypotheticals until the vote does happen next week for the moment for
