that we have been able to identify to date that have that boring gauged in that murder will take us. probably have four more weeks before we have enough evidence to actually put those sanctions in place but i'm i think we'll be able to get there we're going to find the fact pattern president said we will demand accountability for those who are involved in the commission of this heinous crime at the same time president was made very clear not only do we have important commercial relationships but important strategic relationships national security relationships with the kingdom of saudi arabia and we intend to make sure that those relationships remain intact are you satisfied with the level of cooperation right now in that investigation with the saudis yes we're getting cooperation we've had good cooperation with turkey as well and frankly there's been good cooperation between turkey and saudi arabia although sometimes and even there's been good cooperation there as well so yes we're we're continuing to develop the fact pattern

as are other countries around the world will form our own judgments about who should be held accountable for that border and how does that cast our joins us live now from washington d.c. heidi some like pompei are saying there will be a few more weeks before they have enough evidence to impose sanctions what more can you tell us. that's right he said a handful of weeks and that he would believe that there would be enough evidence gathered that the u.s. would get there in his words to impose these sanctions now this would not be the first time that the u.s. has responded to the killing of jamal khashoggi about a week ago pompei zero announced that twenty one saudi arabian nationals were having their visas were revoked those were people that the state department had identified as being directly involved in this operation to kill jamal khashoggi we know that the cia's director gina haskell was in turkey herself in person just

ministration officials that to show she was a member of the muslim brotherhood and that he was dangerous these are points that his family today denies and he also said according to the post that crown prince mohammed bin saleh told cushier that the u.s. should preserve its alliance with saudi arabia now notably in just days after that call was made there was a complete change into coming from crown prince in selma and he then said that the killing of his show she was in his words a terrible mistake and not justifiable there and how do you think you mean all turkey's justice minister is demanding the saudi arabia corporate fully with investigations istanbul's chief prosecutor says he was strangled to death as soon as he entered the saudi consulate last week saudi arabia is yet to respond to the revelations or say where his body is hidden. the whole world's

a lot of things yes it's agin the institution is perfect the argument is that poland should be deciding who's the prime minister not the normal. read the institution in the right and so your immediate plans for a now you're assuming the prime minister's position to be taken with the. rajapaksa needs the backing of one hundred thirteen m.p.'s to solidify his return to power but press the. didn't suspended parliament some suspect he did that to give rajapaksa time to get enough support how will you get enough support from parliament how do you get the n.p.c. what we have got that i'm going to be sure and so why the delay in recalling palm 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 randall 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 nineteenth amendment has made changes to that and therefore what the presidency has to say go rajapaksa serve two terms as president defeated tamil separatists in a twenty six year long civil war but was accused of human rights abuses in the process his family and in a circle is under investigation for corruption and you looking forward to your new positions are you looking forward to being prime minister really much who had to wait hard to get behind the rajapaksa is presenting an image of business as usual

the governor seat and for senate actually going neck and neck with the republicans in that state not to mention florida is a battleground state and it's a very important location when it comes to elections both for the midterms next week and also for twenty twenty for the upcoming presidential elections it's an interesting relationship between the united states and the crowd were because while trump has had a really nice tough stance on the car what the president of nicaragua then you know take a has been cooperating with. the entity that is in charge of importing you know undocumented immigrants the united states so they have been they sign up and then agreement a couple you know a couple of months ago where they will be bringing in the cracker nationals into the country not to mention the t.p.s. the temporary protected status for many central americans is about to expire. thousands of google employees around the world of walked off their jobs to protest
