sri lanka's new prime minister is told his appointment is legitimate and rajapaksa says he's just now getting on with the job the two term former president who was controversially appointed a week ago after his successor sacked the prime minister ronnie will become a singer but it smith reports now from columbia. 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 resign or a not elected by the members of parliament one of mr raja pas so you know yourself i must see you as your about look when legitimate you think serbia says it is 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 play and so your immediate one sir for i know you are assuming the prime minister's position i have long been given or the birth of his daughter who 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.p.c. what we have already got the i'm going to be sure and so why the delay in recalling pollen and what are we hanging on for norm 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 running away from a single 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. it when though the nineteenth amendment has made changes to that and therefore what the presidency has to see go rajapaksa serve 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 position so you're looking forward to being prime minister really much he wanted to play hard to get behind the rajapaksa is presenting an image of business as usual but we 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 smith al-jazeera colombo spoke to mohammad a little bit earlier a social activist in sri lanka who believes the sacking may actually not be constitutional. really much are concerned to the whole of civil society and public in general because it just suspects the wrong proceeded in terms of. appointing a prime minister it's not about who's the prime minister they just by their i did much already to become a singer but say it's it it's much beyond that it's but it's bigger than that it's about whether what was done is going to do surely or not and if that is not constitutional because he is that being which was majority of the people share then that's not the receipt and we need to have thought of this longest democracies have to have such are constitutional court where he came out rainfall feeling at two dollars fifteen at that point it would argue in january right that one of the key

promises about it he promises were about fighting corruption which was prevalent at that time and then being deceiving create dems i thought was sort of an agenda for reconciliation to heal the arts which were wrong and might treat it all well and certainly although i'm not saying that we need not make any progress in the last three and a half years but we did have significant progress in the sequel the intangible areas like the freedom of expression a lot b.x. but nothing happened i saw only what he says is that he can't well what we just particular tribe used to who he ran for office to get it in a sense and it's not really a point to the first baby symbols and he wanted to give the soul which he's human service to as a whole so we are just wondering what happened as much as the international community is.

took his justice minister has demanded saudi arabia cooperate fully with the investigation into the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi it's been revealed she was strangled to death a soon as he entered the saudi. consulate in istanbul a month ago and saudi arabia is yet to respond to that new information. 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 said the matter can be resolved let's check in with ash from a whole bar outside the consulate in istanbul where does this leave the joint investigation as it's supposed to be hashing. it is most likely going to be a new phase of further a little pressure on sandy arabia by the turkish government look at the statements

coming out today from istanbul and you have the justice minister saying that the saudis must extradite the eighteen suspects and that the only way with this should be tried is here in istanbul you have the deputy head of the arc party norman could turn or she's saying basically that saudi arabia will face also political repercussions gas a backdrop of the killing goes a model expressing concerns that the u.s. president donald trump could be paving the way for political cover up for the saudi crown prince mohammed bin selamat the turkish president as of a year ago and how today a phone call conversation with u.s. president donald trump of this spoke about the need to further consolidate political cooperation and i think the general sentiment among people in is that if the americans put extra pressure the saudis would absolutely have no other option but to evade further details about who gave the order to kill the and what happened

exactly at the consulate on the second of october how should my with it just actually just as you say that i think it's worth stepping back for a moment because we're about to come up to one full month since jamal khashoggi disappeared and was killed and it's important we don't lose sight of it isn't it this was a man who. disappeared off the face of the earth and his family his friends still do not know where he is. indeed the biggest challenge now facing the investigators here in turkey is the whereabouts of the remains of similar houses you for them this is an absolutely crucial element is crucial in the sense that it could help them build a strong case and also indictments against the. perpetrators of the crime and this is this is why the are putting no extra pressure on the saudi

government they say that they have given a chance to this prosecutor has not been delivered on the promises his government's made in the past and here it seems that they do have some strong evidence because if every day the tone of the statements of the sort of the turkish government seems to be really confident about what happened to the on the second of october but i think ultimately they're hoping for international pressure to build up because they think that could be the only way to press the saudis to tell the world though about the whereabouts of the remains of. the most important element and then of course there's this second element which is the political responsibility here the turkish government does not really believe that this is something which was done by a senior adviser to the crown prince they believe to fly to commercial flights with a hit squad to commit a crime inside the building you see behind me is something that can only be done by

someone who is really high up in the saddam political establishment but so far the saudis are saying no member of the royal family was implicated in the killing goes in my house of the so back to square one in a way or another. in istanbul thank you. one of the black box flight recorders from the plane crash off the coast of indonesia has been found in the sea bed crash experts want to know why a two month old boeing seven three seven disappeared shortly after takeoff from jakarta on monday killing one hundred eighty nine passengers and crew on board for installing us more. than three days after indonesia's second worst disaster a vital potential clue to the chorus divers have recovered the flight data recorder buried in the sea bed they had to dig to get it out it logs everything the lion air boeing seven three seven was doing including its speed altitude and heading.

protest super disappointing i think google is a company that's recognized for having really strong values and it's very true of the culture at all and so to hear something like this in the space where most employees will tell you they don't really say it just like hugely disappointing i don't think google has been an outlier and i don't think that that's a good thing i think that they should strive to be an outlier like letting accused executives quietly walk away with buckets full of cash is standard and it really should not be i want the whole to enforce the provisions that they already have and to. take seriously claims that people who are harassed don't respond to them appropriately and not sweep them under the rug. still ahead of you on al jazeera a change of heart while strenuous government is moving child asylum seekers out of its prison islands and u.s. president to donald trump stands behind his tough talk on immigration.
