when one was accused dr leslie leslie who was dearly and was sentenced to death when her appeal going to the supreme court it was too windy you know and it was total that she did not do what she was accused not doing so instead of feeling happy about it just look at the irony there limited that or the supreme court has you know shawna jongleurs teacher someone who ordered low gear did a blasphemous act get their own number of factors here why and why you know that the fact that the blasphemy law shouldn't just been there in the first place since there is no mention of blasphemy and yet is not blind to the finest men thought of not only in the koran school and as the actual in that school last line is that not a single i had of the koran saves dead a blasphemer or again be punished one do you not be happy for i don't become islam does not just not in the camp you got islam is not indeed yes indeed esther i was out of there and try to do have to interrupt you i think we got the general gist of

your point of view and thank you very much for your time here on al-jazeera sri lanka's ousted prime minister has spoken to our desire about why she has refused or he has refused to accept his dismissal by the president really on what from a singer told us that he still holds a majority in parliament and government should never have been dissolved president sort of sent his decision to replace him with former president mahinda rajapaksa has triggered a constitutional crisis. in the last presidential election parliament religion we came forward on the basis that parliament is supreme that the president must act according to the we here as of parliament the nineteenth amendment to the constitution was drafted on that basis now what has happened is the president is trying to override the power of the parliament we have news just coming in from egypt from state television that a bus heading to a coptic mourn a street in the country has been fired on the incident took place near the town of

minea at least five people have been killed many more injured that's confirming that's coming from egyptian television will give you more information on that as we get it. russia and china are being blamed for blocking international efforts to create the world's largest marine reserve in antarctica and become trees of the antarctic commission to conserve marine life we're wrapping up their two week meeting in hobart australia scientists think the work will see it's home to thousands of undiscovered species but there's opposition to both and it's a no go zone for fishing mining and drilling and thomas has more from hope but. it was always a hugely ambitious proposal put forward by the european union to create a protected marine environment five times the size of germany in antarctica pristine waters that most of the countries represented here wanted to preserve long term it doesn't happen now by convention and i want to talk publicly about the

discussions inside the building behind me until everything is completely concluded there are still some formalities some administrative matters to be overcome but the head of the indian delegation did come out talk to me here's what he said to some extent i'm disappointed in. how they wanted to some kind of fair and that understanding is not damaged unfortunately the standing is not in my genes at the end of the day. that after spending so many days on this in here's issue especially understanding as not damage now off camera many others have told me that the marine park proposal is definitely not going to happen this year not necessarily the end of the road throw all the other opportunities in other years to talk about new marine parks potentially again in the way they'll say but the twenty eight team a real sense of disappointment here there is not going to be a very hot created there at least not yet well still ahead here on the al-jazeera smoke away in the history of the world championships paul will have that story

after the break.

so thank you very much the styles of w w a wrestling will take to the ring in saudi arabia later on friday despite outcry over the event going ahead in the wake of the jamal khashoggi killing well wrestling and has been under pressure to council events in riyadh but merely said they were monitoring the situation after a merge the journalist had been killed in the saudi embassy and. well vince mcmahon's company has come under fire from many fans calling for crown jewel to be

counseled u.s. politicians have spoken up as well republican senator lindsey graham saying they should pause their work with saudi but there's a lot of money on the line this year's w w e and said a decade long dale to stage a friends with saudi reportedly worth four hundred fifty million dollars an elected u.s. politician will wrestle in riyadh mare of knox county glenn jacobs known to fans as cain is part of the main event. has also gone into this deal knowing that it's women wrestlers are not allowed to perform in saudi arabia that biggest star john cena won't be there he refused to work the show according to reports and has been removed from the card the wrestlers however are not giving away very much about the situation. roy i didn't know we pulled out or i will get sued so most of us here still go up almost the rest were were at the airport oh yeah. you can get

a lot of publicity of course because i'm with georgia five kids right we're going to go make that now they want me in saudi i'm going to saudi again respect that now you know all right now obviously try to take your well earlier we spoke to adam kaleri the managing editor of entertainment and wrestling website what culture dot com he said russell is pulling out of events like this was incredibly unusual. john xena's absence from the show is a huge deal but perhaps not so much for the show itself as it is behind the scenes like the actual show don't we w.-e. of offset his loss with huge star the kane the undertaker shawn michaels later expecting whole coding to be on the show so him not being on the show itself is possibly not that damaging for them but behind the scenes and it speaks to the huge level of controversy surrounding this restless pulling out of these events is just simply not something the ever tends to happen so the fact that he's seemingly free to do this and daniel bryan as well without any real consequences i think is an

acknowledgement from. that they don't particularly want to force people to do this if they don't feel overly comfortable i think primary the problem do we do a going to have is how far this this disenchantment with the show spreads whether or not you want to go for doing them in the future because once except president for one wrestler not going whether that is johnson or otherwise all of a sudden it becomes a problem to try and get other people there but i expect going forward if they decide to any more of the shows in saudi arabia that we'll see a lot more of this kind of thing now is st paul's quest to become a professional footballer has suffered a major setback after his trial with the australian club central coast mariners came to an end the eight time olympic champion joined the club in august for an indefinite training period and was hoping to win a contract but talks have failed the jamaican scored two goals in a friendly much last month but never played an alien game last season's n.b.a. runners up the cleveland cavaliers aren't doing any better since sacking their coach last week and turncoat larry drew did his contract negotiations no harm as

line that features one hundred artists we spoke to the founder who says the exhibition couldn't have a better backdrop. i'm david handley on the founding director of sculpture by the sea in sydney australia in ninety ninety seven the exhibition was just a one day exhibition very quickly sculpture by the sea became what we believe is the largest annual sculpture exhibition in the world in terms of number of sculptures size the location i fled the corporate world in my mid twenty's i was living in prague and i encountered a sculpture in a wonderful sculpture park where sculpture was juxtaposed cited amongst thirteenth century ruins internationally people didn't really think about australia except for the fact we had a rule iraq on a reef and probably an opera house and i have a bridge but that was about it and i want to create something that projected a straight it both to itself and internationally is a more sophisticated and cultured placed to visit to live but also which was

fundamentally relaxed like a straight i thought this is the art form look at how you could contrast sculpture by color by form by scale with something else a sculpture is meant to be exhibited outdoors and this place is perfect it's as if god in the local mayor got together to create the most perfect location for sculpture we could site huge sculptures which we crane on to the edge of the straight and continent and just around the corner we can have something nestled among the rocks anyone in the world can apply to be in sculpture by the sea we have a curatorial panel go through some five hundred submissions are only requirement is that the sculpture hasn't been exhibited before in australia i love this exhibition to have an idea that comes out of your head that so many people respond to an artist around the world respond to is very special the first seven years were very very tough we now have some four hundred twenty five to five hundred thousand visitors a year depending a bit on the weather and this year we've got our hands from twenty one different countries and one hundred seven sculptures always we have just over one hundred

over the acquittal of a christian woman for blasphemy. also it's on our blocking a plan to create the world's largest marine reserve in antarctica. and walking a marathon every day we follow a family from honduras desperate to get to the u.s. . welcome to al-jazeera it's a month since jamal khashoggi walked into the saudi consulate in istanbul never to be seen again turkish investigators say a saudi hit squad strangled a journalist in a premeditated attack that just meant that they got rid of his body the saudi stories changed repeatedly from saying it was an accidental killing to blaming rogue operators international pressure is mounting on the kingdom with the u.s. saying sanctions are on the way. alan fischer begins our coverage in the case of

jamal khashoggi is one of lies. surprise and videotape fourteen days after the writer disappeared and after days of requesting permission turkish investigators were finally allowed into the consulate with the insisted he'd been killed the dili which this forensic expert says would help any potential cover up what will i learn. the main thing in incidents like this is to carry out the crime scene investigation within days or as soon as possible in this case it took two weeks for the forensic teams to enter the consulate and search the surrounding areas this is a big handicap they can link to losing evidence you know the saudis had initially insisted to show left the building after attending a routine appointment but his fiancee was old sayed a crucial witness to contradict the lie the talks were clear it intelligence evidence allegedly including audio and video to show was dead and they revealed the images of the so-called hit team fifteen men who flew in from saudi arabia to kill

the writer and crucially to clean up afterwards one allegedly brought aboard so what king from here turkish investigators a built in case against the saudi nationals that they believe are responsible for the killing of khashoggi but the series of well timed leaks the built up international pressure forcing the saudis to change the story from outright denial to an acceptance should you wish kill where and when the courts allege the saudis claim there was a fight that got out of hand but the turks have contradicted that idea we see the writer was strangled as soon as he walked into the building his body dismembered the saudis can't or won't see what happened to the body infirm and it will be a silent witness to what exactly went on. they claim there was a fight when we find the body this will be alice out after the examination we were fire. in the way he was caught it is so the chief prosecutor has this week spent to

fill these in istanbul but there's frustration here at what's seen as a genuine lack of cooperation but there are still crucial questions to be answered in this investigation with his demarco should use body and who ultimately give the order to kill him alan fischer al-jazeera istanbul or shortly will go to political hay news at a memorial service for the shoji in washington d.c. but first let's get more at the saudi consulate in istanbul and news is drip feeding out as we've been talking about this last four weeks allen from the turks that now they believe this hit squad had killed or done this type of operation before this is quite alarming information. exactly right and so it's hard to believe that if you think exactly four weeks ago or two day jamal khashoggi was dead in the great cover up had already begun courting two senior figures in the foreign minister they have been telling elders

either that they believe that the so-called team that was flown in from saudi arabia to carry out the murder and then the cover up had actually carried out this sort of operation before now the turks are growing inclusively for straitened with saudi arabia which has said it will cooperate with all the inquiries yet they feel that their actions are much changing their wives the one senior figure in the ruling party the vice president of the ruling party has said just in the last couple of hours that he believes the king in saudi arabia should take more of an active role in finding out who is responsible and identifying those responsible if so it all goes down to the fact that the turks are looking to find the remains of jamal khashoggi certainly we've heard them in the last couple of hours from someone who's very close to president and the one that the turks are walking on the theory that they believe the body was dissolved and it takes a long time for that to happen it's not like the movies that you just do and

suddenly happens so there would be some traces and we know that the turks are very keen on searching your well in the consul general residence a very short walk from from where i'm standing they where in the garden they did it for a mission to do that and they saw the well and they wanted to search it there and then and this is a couple of weeks ago but the saudis said the name of the search team to get on the well isn't on the list therefore you're not coming in and sort of the for permission the saudis are saying nor at the moment and the turks are very keen to get to that well no i'm not saying that the body is definitely there but they would like to test water samples and do a much deeper set. to at the very least rule that out as a place where the body may well have been but it and they're also very keen to find this local so called cooperate or as the saudis call them the person that was given the task of disposing of the body the turks say that given that he was turkish he

committed a crime on turkish soil that gives them the right to push for the extradition of all the eighteen people a country being held in saudi arabia not something that saudi arabia is willing to move on at this time of course the death of his having not just international ramifications that regional ones too with the israeli prime minister weighing in what are you hearing about berndt. well we know that turkey has said that they would rule out going to the international community to push for the extradition if they get no satisfaction from saudi arabia but they're also aware the saudi arabia is marshalling international support among its allies not least in the white house with donald trump but also no with benjamin netanyahu he's been speaking just in the last few hours at a conference in bulgaria and he suggested that while it is important that the investigation finds out who was responsible for this what shouldn't be forgotten so important so de rigueur is in the region and in the world what happened.

and will cancel it was horrendous and it should be doing. you know the single most. it's very important for the stability of the world of the region and of all that saudi arabia remains. a way must be found to achieve all. no should be forgotten that the turks are currently considering an offer from saudi arabia to fly investigators in to saudi arabia to speak to those eighteen people currently being held in connection with the death of jamal khashoggi that decision will finally be taken at the higher reaches of government but they are very keen that the extradition does go ahead as i say it's one month since jamal khashoggi was was killed here his family would still like to have something that they can

bury to say goodbye to a man that they considered to be a good writer and a good person indeed someone will leave the band of course and join you should there be any more developments. with global outrage refusing to die down the u.s. is stepping up the pressure on saudi arabia and egypt castro has more from washington d.c. . the u.s. secretary of state says sanctions against saudi arabia for the killing of jamal khashoggi are likely coming to 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 that a president said we will demand accountability for those who are involved in the commission of this i've described sanctions would not be the only river question from the u.s. more than a week ago the state department revoked the visas of twenty one saudi nationals identified as involved in the operation to kill. secretary michael impale said at

the time those penalties would not be the last word even as the u.s. continued to gather facts that included cia director gina haskell travelling to turkey and reportedly listening to the audio recording of killing turkey is leading the investigation it says she was strangled almost immediately after entering the saudi consulate on october second. no one will escape responsibility this issue has become universal it cannot be covered up and it is watched by everyone in the world turkey will transparently share with all international institutions the data of the investigation process we expect saudi officials to cooperate with the turkish side in the investigations through joint work to uncover all the circumstances of this crime. meanwhile the washington post reports saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin selman spoke with senior trump administration

officials prior to the kingdom of knowledge and killing in the private call been someone reportedly said he was dangerous and a member of the muslim brotherhood appoint the jury. the list had long denied later in public print some on would change his tune calling the killing a terrible mistake and not justifiable key questions remain about what exactly happened including what his killers did with his body the u.s. state department says it's calling on saudi arabia to return remains to his family as soon as possible heidi joe castro al-jazeera washington particularly and joins me now from washington d.c. we believe the memorial service is happening right now a chance for people to remember and also to show their support for his family it's very difficult time. exactly it's happening at the hay out of so tell the other posh hotel the center of washington d.c.

we're standing outside just to show respect but it's going to be an hour long the moral service with. friends and politicians are going to talk we expect we're going to hear from his fiance through a video link then the second hour is going to be a conference a panel discussion on how to get justice for jamal khashoggi this is all happening in front of the cameras this story has really fallen out of the headlines here in the united states this could be an opportunity for his family and friends to bring it back to the spotlight to increase pressure on the white house because according to the new york times they are citing three sources inside the administration saying that the president president donald trump has decided to stick with crown prince mohammed bin psalm on and instead they are hoping to use the pressure that he is now facing to urge him to end the blockade of cutter and the war in yemen and it does fit with things we've heard from the secretary of state and secretary of defense saying that they want to see the war and within thirty days so that is the latest reporting from washington.
