that of washington d.c. we're standing outside just to show respect but it's going to be an hour long memorial 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 now 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 obviously that probably
11:01 pm
isn't going to be enough for the people who are here the two dozen people who are here behind me who have a personal connection to gee they're going to want to see justice and the u.s. congress is likely going to weigh in as well so it's not just what the president wants to do in this case but right now all the focus on the midterm elections so the story as secretary of state might come pale said probably will not be resolved in the u.s. side for at least a couple of weeks. and come back she wants to hear what people have to say that for the moment patty thank you the phone lines in some areas of pakistan are being cut by the government to try and stop two days of protests over blasphemy supreme court judges where they acquitted a christian woman sentenced to death for insulting islam eight years ago demonstrators are demanding the government overturns the court. tensions are running high guest on here in the city of islamabad it may seem to be business as usual but the security forces have already called on golf the red zone

11:04 pm
the fall southern parts of india and through sri lanka you can see it on the satellite picture the showers that we've been seeing here more wet weather is expected as we head through the next couple of days but i do think for saturday stretching up this west coast and it's a bit more as well say that area of rain gradually spreading for the rule in parts of india them for some of us in pakistan there's more in the way of cloud of rain here and over the mountains we're seeing a fair amount of snow at the moment too that's just really a one day wonder though by the time we get some day it should have dried up here towards the west and we still got some rain every part of saudi arabia the wettest weather is in the west but it's stretching towards the north as well we could just catch a shower in riyadh. well the online when you're looking at wildlife and how the solutions come together to benefit all parties involved that's where we're going to have long term success or
11:05 pm
if you join us on sat if you could take me around the content would you take me you don't have to set up your experiment for your experiment in the universe this is a dialogue everyone has a voice you actually raise several interesting points there that several of our community members are going to join the global conversation on now to zero. you're watching i was there i'm so robin a reminder of our top stories the u.s. secretary of state says sanctions are being prepared against saudis involved in the killing of jamal khashoggi saudi leaders have so far resisted international pressure to reveal who ordered the journalist murder to crown prince mohammed bin some are not implicated disappeared after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul
11:06 pm
exactly a month ago israel's prime minister has commented on the case for the first time benjamin netanyahu called the murder a render he says it needs to be dealt with but emphasizes the stability of saudi arabia is important for the stability of the middle east as a whole. also phone lines in some areas of pakistan have been cut by the government to try and stop two days of protests over a blasphemy verdict supreme court judges sparked outrage when they acquitted a christian woman sentenced to death for insulting islam eight years ago. palestinians in gaza are gearing up for another weekly round of demonstrations at the border fence with israel that they've been protesting every friday since march the thirtieth or the two hundred palestinians have been killed by israeli forces since then demonstrators have been calling for the right to return to their ancestral lands and to end israel's twelve year blockade of the gaza strip harry forsett joins us from there now and the demonstrations do continue but not on the
11:07 pm
scale that we've seen since march ari why. that's right in recent weeks we've seen pretty big demonstrations last week we saw seven people shot and killed in the demonstrations up and down the border if i get out of the way just let you get a view of what's going on you can see that yes there is another friday protest but it is much smaller in scale than recently as promised to an egyptian delegation which is currently inside gaza there were talks last night during which reported there were promises given that there would be no kites flown burning kites or balloons no major lighting of tires to create a big screen of smoke that does seem to have come true and what we are seeing is a lot of israeli tear gas being used because the prevailing winds are coming from the israeli side among other things today so you can see they're kind of trying to screen it off and largely keep people well away from the border fence or low some people are still trying to get fairly close to it i think more interesting perhaps
11:08 pm
all coming back into the shop more interesting ups than the details of what's happening here and the politics underlying all this this egyptian delegation is just one of several moving parts towards a potential change in the situation here the egyptians are trying to both get the palestinian factions fatah which dominates the p.a. in the occupied west bank and hamas here to. to try to get some kind of reconciliation going on as well as trying to broker a truce a long term truce between the israelis and hamas really we're waiting now for what might happen on sunday when the israeli cabinet meets with they may world approve the transfer of some fifteen million dollars a month for the payment of non fighting hamas employees already we've seen a huge improvement in the electricity supply after israel allowed the flow of qatari fuel to supply the power station here so it does seem that after
11:09 pm
a lot of very close run things where you've seen real threats of major military escalation here there is a different atmosphere around the conflict here in gaza today and a different different scale of protests today as part of that all leave it there for now of course and continue to monitor events with the from gaza thanks terry. well news just coming into us in the past hour and that's that a bus bus heading to a coptic monastery in egypt has been fired up now the incident happened there the town of minea at least five people have been killed many more injured oxygenation television reporting that. the saudi led coalition has launched a new offensive in yemen it's begun the operation to retake the port city of data currently under the control of who the rebels the coalition sent in thousands of troops to the area this week and in the early hours of friday also attacks in our international airport and an adjoining air base the u.s. and the u.n. has called on both sides to stop the fighting and begin talks there's increasing

11:16 pm
will to be home to thousands of undiscovered species but the antarctic commission to conserve marine life couldn't agree on making it a no go zone for fishing mining and drilling under thomas explains from who bought . the proposal was to create another marine park in antarctica this time five times the size of germany an area of pristine ocean protected from fishing mining drilling almost all of human activity. the weather l c is an icy wilderness and one of the world's last marine protection would have kept it that way but in hobart delegations from twenty four different countries with an interest in him talked again as well as the european union which led the pot proposal needed to reach consensus where exactly where the parks boundaries be would any fishing be allowed how reliable is the science supporting the need for complete protection how many decades with the protection lost for they couldn't agree after two weeks of talking
11:17 pm
behind closed doors the head of india's delegation revealed no consensus had been reached. that understanding is not damaged unfortunately the standing is not that much in twenty sixteen the same delegates in the same building were able to reach agreement to create another marine park and talk to. that one covering the rossi was supposed to create momentum for more but an attempt to create one in east antarctica last year failed the failure on friday to create one in the wood del see the sense of gloom for conservationists and of course extremely disappointed that this meeting was unable to reach consensus it's been a campaign that really engage people and people want to see and talk to give or take it and to see it failing at this meeting is of course very deeply disappointing delegates meet in hobart every year there will be more chances to
11:18 pm
create marine parks in future but every year that passes means what is ultimately protected will be a little less persisting. in the end i'm told it was a disagreement about the quality of the science behind the need for a new brain protect their area but lead to the lack of consensus with two countries china and russia refusing to sign up now in the past both thank you countries have come around to proposals that in previous years they'd opposed but only after those have been signed off by the higher level of politics in our countries the president the hope if that in time the same can happen with this proposal to talk with al-jazeera australia. we're watching all of this their arms a whole robin these are all top news stories the u.s. secretary of state says sanctions are being prepared against saudis involved in the killing of jamal khashoggi saudi leaders have so far resisted international

11:21 pm
on al-jazeera next it's the stream to stay with us. adequate. housing is not just about four walls and a roof it's about living in a place where you have peace security and most importantly dignity un special rapporteur. hi i'm femi oke a and you're in the strain we're now live an hour. and i really could be with the twenty four hour news cycle and perpetual bombardment of information it can sometimes be difficult to dig deeper into a story on this episode of the strain we will dive into three films now streaming on al-jazeera dot com just that it's a church of trump i'm odette the legacy of slavery in the usa and the things we
11:22 pm
keep first stop the church of trouble producer faultlines and this film correspondent josh rushing and producer and a day go inside america's religious right to explore its grassroots strategies and the powerful institutions fueling its resurgence take a look in the united states the religious right. we were hunting for the guy who would take our script and read it they're going to take control of one of the parties and they've effectively done that full lines examines the trumpet ministration special relationship with the religious right what do you get out of the presidency and what evangelical support means for the future of the country. when i set my foot on correspondent just rushing it and in new york for she said i j i lied to you both. so good to have you here i want to start on my laptop with two tweets a tiny little history lesson from
11:23 pm
a journalist tom craton me he writes historically evangelicals were the theological conservatives who smiled engage the culture and were happy to share their faith but now and probably for a long time to come evangelical communicates a political fact more than a religious identity the fact that eighty one percent of white evangelicals voted for donald trump so and i will give this one to you there is a little to change in history when did that happen in then why did it inspire you to make this stop. we have seen a lot of eyes ation to the christian right in america since the eighty's that reagan we saw through the ninety's when the anti-abortion movement but i think it was surprising after the twenty sixteen election that so many evangelicals eighty percent white evangelicals turned out to for such an unscrupulous candidate and i was one of those americans that was a bit surprised by not. and i think many thought that perhaps these voters for con
11:24 pm
by trunk but what we found when we you know began investigating this and looking into it further raised that this is a movement that has had a very. smart strategy for decades there are people who are not reacting to all attacks that are happening around them they have a vision for america and they've been working very strategically at the grassroots and at the federal level to achieve this for years and now they have a ministration that's very dependent on them as they're the ones that brought this administration into office just you learn so much about broad's of the evangelical church in the us despite your interactions with them the way that they talk to who you talk to there's a guy called jeff a mix i'm going to start a little clip of him but before we do that tell us about him what do we need to know before we see that jeff owens a hardware store in the rule part of kentucky just nor tennessee just north of
11:25 pm
knoxville and he's fairly well known now for putting a sign of the store the says no gays allowed and he says that he can legally do that because of the supreme court decision regarding the baker in colorado and so we went and when asked his around i got a chance to talk to him asking to questions his a little bit of just asking jeff i make some questions to get out just because a man of his players made mistakes doesn't mean his own fit to run this country this country right now is in better shape than it's ever been in my lifetime in your left i mean it is left and it's better than it's ever been. there is no difference between a homeless or a homosexual a child molester and a woman that committed an abortion because she has killed her child and i think all three of deserve the same penalty. abortion there are be home why do you think i'm so mean to god he has been chosen by god to run this country and if anybody around
11:26 pm
him is against. homosexuality and against abortion. and for our children's rights to live yeah i'm will vote for. this tells us so much about what america is like right now to me outside the bubble or where you are d.c. or do york or l.a. in the middle of america what you need to know is guys like that vote they're politically active most christians don't believe the same thing that he believes even most conservative christians don't believe what the religious right believes even the new york times stated a story about evangelicals and young evangelicals that are breaking away from the politics of their parents in the politics of trump the religious right though they are very organized they have a strategy and they vote so for those who look at the midterms coming up as a kind of complacent they don't know if we're going to go out a vote or not this is how a very small minority has become politically extremely powerful because they have a strategy they have
11:27 pm
a plan that begins in the voting booth it runs through just carry it with the whole plan is to reshape america into what they see as a christian nation and that just leaves a huge question for what does that mean for the rest of us who aren't christian who don't fit into their worldview and it's not just a different world view they see a different world they they home school their kids their kids go from home school they go to christian universities they watch christian t.v. channels or listen to christian radio stations they never really have to intersect with the worldview that any of us would be familiar with they see a completely different world they're surrounded by completely different facts and information and they have a political plan for this country and they by all means are not complacent about this election coming up we're hearing from some of them online this is susan b. anthony list the organization that is an anti-abortion rights advocate group they write in that under trump two justices were appointed to the supreme court to respect the constitutional right to life they also then go on to say that there's been twenty ninth circuit court judges and fifty three district court judges
11:28 pm
confirmed thanks to president trump so and from the people that you talked to was anyone able to reconcile the things that they saw as being pro christianity pro the bible with the way that trump has lived his life. you know some people didn't try to rationalize president trant then apply you know biblical stories about how god has used sinners in the past and there were other people who very realistic about the relationship that it was a quid pro quo and that this isn't really unprecedented in american politics and many people on the left would be frustrated with president clinton's sexual harassment for example but overall his policies and danced their agenda and people were willing to you know support him so it's not really on precedented it just seems jarring given that these people call themselves values voters and this man and not this as you know this family scandals and behavior
11:29 pm
that many women expect from. somebody supporting these christians they have a deal though in the deal wasn't implicit it was explicit when trump was just a candidate they flew like a thousand of these pastors to new york had a private meeting and he said give me your vote give me your church's votes and i'll give you what you want what you want or judges not give more to you in a christian writer covered at the time and said that they shouldn't have taken the deal the jesus already turned down when jesus goes into the desert gets tempted for forty days and forty nights by the devil one of the last temptation is as the double shows him all the cities in the world and says they can all be yours if you'll just be able to me all this political power can be yours and jesus said no and that was the deal that these pastors took according to like some of the christian press who saw them take it but it was an explicit deal that i mean religious cover and i need your votes and i know what you want them to give it to you the charges. and he said filming in. july.
11:30 pm
then you also were at the capitol hearing and you saw a lot of women that a lot of women who were really upset about about the way the cabinet hearing was going and there's usually in every four lines episode a moment which is incredibly emotional and painful and hard to deal with was that moment. yes i'd say the most emotional part of the shoot for me was definitely being. senate hart building and during the cabin i hearings they didn't just do it women's march they just survivors march where they mined up survivors two by two and they led this march of hundreds of people around the city while cavanagh was speaking to the senators inside and it was one of the most powerful things i've ever experienced i think everyone there well that you know this pain that these people were sharing. that it would mobilize the full power but
11:31 pm
it became very clear that while these people were on the streets and being very. near power was not translating into halls of congress and they do have a plan to the midterms we'll see if they get out the same way the religious right does many of the tweet from tom who read earlier he says given how things have gone on in washington and historically high approval probably disapproval ratings that have followed this dynamic linking evangelical even jellicoe ism with the top administration has not been a good advertisement for jesus so much to talk about the finale day and just washing thank you so much for joining us from appreciate it thank you for me thanks for having us. we move now to our moral debt the legacy of slavery in the usa producer how does the our correspondent in the film wind through the american south as journalist james gannon explores what effect the oppression of been slave people
11:32 pm
by his ancestors still has on black lives in the u.s. today take a look. a journey of personal discovery my great grandfather he was a slave the lead property al-jazeera is james going to expose his family's legacy and sleeve ownership you know like my family status and wealth has benefited from your choice to save and to america's debt to black people today some of us. to speak out because it's a problem. al-jazeera correspondent. joining us from doha james gannon who is also a deputy news editor for al-jazeera english while james to the stream now for our audience that has not yet seen the film spoiler alert you are a descendant of combat or a general robert e. lee and so keeping that in mind i want to bring up this tweet because there are a lot of revelations in this documentary and back here talks about why he says
11:33 pm
whatever happened to the promise of forty horses forty acres of land and freedom to the slaves and in popular culture now that is forty acres and a mule so that is the idea of reparations are not something that a lot of our audience seems to pick up on and that's something that was picked up on in the film as well so here is a comment from steven thomas he's an organizer and a lecturer who actually featured in the film and here's what he had to say next year two thousand one thousand. four hundred anniversary of the arrival of the first and slave africans to the shores of virginia this documentary of world that serves to remind this nation's citizens the racial reconciliation is indeed possible beginning first with the government is jewish and we're promised a commitment to reparations to african-americans descended from bolz. reparations is that something you had thought much about before doing this
11:34 pm
documentary. you know it really wasn't i mean i think it it a probably crossed my mind before as something that seemed like a good idea but might you know not have ever might not ever be possible or really practical. and when i first started making this film the focus was really just on statues you know like robert e. lee is my family member and you know seen what happened in charlottesville with the unite the right rally right right wing protests that erupted there round the plan removal of one of the statues i nationally wanted to take a look at you know that issue the more i got into it and looked at the legacy of of enslavement that that my family had left for me in this country the more i realized that the root causes of the institutional racism and inequality that we see today really need a much bigger way to address it and reparations was the one that i landed on
11:35 pm
james what struck me was a well placed film tendin two was learning about black people one on one there was so much that you didn't know and so much that you didn't understand how is it possible as an american living in a multicultural multiracial society to the some very basic things that you didn't know about black people. yeah i think that it's really just so easy to live in a bubble in america and you know if i'm honest i lived in a pretty privileged life you know my family wasn't rich but but we were comfortable and. you know growing up in mostly white communities the inequality was something that i was never really faced with or came face to face with and so i'll though i had a general awareness of it it was easy just kind of to go through life without having to to come to terms with it and you know i'm just really grateful that i was
11:36 pm
able to to learn more about the black experience in america through this film and and share some of the really striking facts and figures about that through the project so many lessons learned let's just give our audience a little taste death of one of those lessons have a look i actually met recently the descent descendants of one of the people my family enslaved and found out that i had actually known this this woman a style that is ninety years old now and most of my life and it's hard for me. her name is. time blanking on her last name stella. telling you know that she needs many years your senior and yet you refer to her by her first name. there it is right there
11:37 pm
i mean i don't mean any disrespect. to check. well apparently no one else has referred to the other and. yeah yeah absolutely right i think it probably made both of us uncomfortable you know for you for you to call me out there. may remember that maybe next year. you can redeem yourself right now miss. stella belt. i will never go on again. but i mean this this is what i was talking about since really basic knowledge about how you address. a black male. in your community you really being what it meant to be inside african among american culture where
11:38 pm
that fit into american history. making there are organizations that are doing the work that i think many will hope that this documentary does as well so this is just one of them and serge d.c. is the handle here they are an organization that organizes people for racial justice and they say a big canvas that involves in-depth one on one conversations that engage white people specifically the need for reparations as a way to divest from white supremacy to go on to say that they also tried to emphasize in every event reading group every issue we discuss whether policing incarceration segregation it's all rooted in legacies of white supremacy and slavery so with that in mind what was the one thing that you think stood out to you was the most surprising. i think the thing that stood out to me is how close history of enslavement in america really is you know we think of it as something that was a long time ago but one of the things i learned through this film is that my
11:39 pm
grandmother's nanny was actually born in slavery in my family and so that meant that that means that i knew somebody that knew somebody that was born into slavery so that really brought it almost to how close it really is and that that legacy you know really is having a profound effect on the modern day. it's interesting we will have to leave it there for now james gannon thank you so much for joining the story and you'll be sure to catch his film a moral debt now streaming on al-jazeera dot com so our final film comes from the documentary series witness the things we keep is the story of a unique video correspondence over the course of a decade and a board of affection on the themes of discovery trust this illusion meant and what it means to come home have a look. career reporting to the won't do it here one
11:40 pm
journalist documents life beyond the headlines. that certain stories can change us in the easiest please use when you can easily be used. to change anyone a unique journey into what it means to be human the things we keep a witness documentary on al-jazeera joining us now we have the film's co-directors in a sanjay's casey kaufman and influence. gentlemen welcome well this worked out well only took you ten years to put this film together. but when did you decide you had a film. good good question i think that i mean ali's sound though is the is my friend in the co-director who had the original idea. you know some of us have friends who are journalist and and stuff like that
11:41 pm
and we see the reports on t.v. but alexandra being a filmmaker being an artist has the crazy idea to ask me to send all of his footage ok i'll get all of my footage you know a lot of the footage you know any caring man or reporter knows that you should a lot of footage not all the little i even see out and alice in alessandro wanted the stuff to end up on t.v. he wanted to see what else was there. i mean that i he had that idea years ago seven or eight years ago and then from that point on he just started to collect and collect kleck that minimalist as you know some something that somebody working in the news industry would never have miller and i do it's a big i mean monster project out of sound oh yeah i mean when i ask the truth to cease with i had no idea at the beginning to make such a film but to it was something that developed through the years because at that
11:42 pm
time i was living in berlin and i was you know we mentioned before the word bubble you know i was kind of living in a bubble just you know going out part live in the nice life in berlin and then suddenly i was watching the kids as fools age like you know i could watch six hours straight of kids even. if i was diving into these words and i could connect that could really use those words and i you know i start to think if i can prove these in a film. i think it would be interesting and that's. you know that's a way out and the more. that's interesting you say that because i think that's exactly what the audience took from it so this is suzanne who tweets and the fact that they kept their friendship going was amazing in itself casey's trips to gaza
11:43 pm
were both heart wrenching and joyous and watching alessandro with his dad reminded me of moments with my late father who also had cancer she goes on to say i'm india's casey's journeys but i also saw the toll it took on him and alessandro although he didn't travel as much had a different trouble and i'm wishing them both well from ireland so casey talk to us about cars because people who are followers of al jazeera english will know your work from there will know your time spent there the story that you tell in the documentary ins of having a different ending tell us a little bit about that. although the very next comment that you just read out things i mean even on my reporting trips not the larger films one of my goals in gaza like everywhere was to try to tell very small personal stories and. because sometimes those are the stories that people and other places around the world can relate to the most because and i think that's also what motivated alice
11:44 pm
on the boat to dive into the footage more because he also felt that same feeling where. you know if i can see you know the normal life in the normal you know ups and downs of people whether it's good or bad you know you feel a little bit more like them and that was really the the reason and what alexander wanted to convey i mean the update for who's doing the film or and it's not really a spoiler for who hasn't but the update of that of that family and god i mean the second kid who was born to the same name as the first kid. who passed away unfortunately and that kid is now growing and happy and strong and they've also had a second child so you know like like every situation where people live in extreme difficulty and hardship there is also normal life and things that bring families joy in their life goes on as well i found out in the final mini elfish as time goes

at al-jazeera dot com one month without and that is what the family and friends of jamal khashoggi have dealt with since october the second when the saudi journalist ended his country's consulate in turkey and vanished you know the story well by now but we're going to spend some time this friday really going into the details and the incredible lack of answers we have despite a month of investigations but let's begin at the heart of the matter the murder of one man a father of four a journalist just days before his wedding charles stratford has this disease how to look at the events of a month ago also with the second four fifty seven am local time in istanbul security camera footage shows him and his fiance who is ensuring the building of his recently acquired istanbul apartment. hours later the
11:51 pm
couple arrive at the saudi consulate for her show she's appointment it's thirteen thirteen they stand at the barricades close by the show she gives her deja he's two mobile phones they have agreed that if he doesn't reappear they should call a turkish government official who is a trusted friend. in an interview with turkish t.v. had he just said that although they were both nervous about her shows his appointment he had told her the consulate staff had treated him well during a previous visit on september the twenty eighth to does this imply a trap had been sent to virtual gave the tick to. jamal is smiling when he came out of the consulate he was very happy with the welcome he'd received he said the consulate staff had come to introduce themselves and offered him something to drink he was told that the documents he wanted would be ready in a few days' time at thirteen fourteen he enters the consulate never to be seen
11:52 pm
again for a quarter hours later at seventeen thirty three can be seen anxiously waiting outside she had already made the call but it's too late turkish and saudi investigators now agree that her show by this time was already dead more than one let me up all morning long as i'm making these calls i'm thinking to myself am i too late is something happening could i prevent something from happening to me. according to friends jamal khashoggi didn't like being called a saudi dissident in an interview which he came to a canadian t.v. channel in june he explains why he fled to america. i left it cause i want to go to another space i had was getting no work and began to feel the pressure so i just decided to leave before it used to do it just a couple of months that i had a lift feelings of money and. many people i knew all drugs available
11:53 pm
soissons goodness that i did otherwise they were pleased i would have been told at my home but i know but i will at least if not i missed it and that is the thing i want in my entire minute i am sixty years old and they want to enjoy life and they want to be free just be quite a great country it seems to me she was murdered in this building for trying to do exactly that speaking freely for the good of a country that he said he loved his murder by men as some of whom are described as being either close to or actually part solve saudis in a leadership circle shows just how dangerous that endeavor was tossed off at al-jazeera istanbul also part of that same in istanbul alan fischer who's outside the consulate allen this is a story which throws up more sort of leads unsubstantiated leads than actual answers over the past month i believe there's even more coming out about the so-called hit squad. well i think we should bear in mind that the
11:54 pm
turkish authorities knew a lot more about this than the made public and we've certainly heard from the president over the last few weeks that he will release the information when he thinks is right for the investigation and for his country but you're right more information coming out about this so-called hit team you'll remember that fifteen people were caught on videotape by the turkish authorities flying in to saudi arabia one of them allegedly armed with a born saw the turkish authorities believe that given that exactly four weeks ago. given exactly a month ago the model would have taken place and the cleanup operation was well underway at this stage and then just a few hours later that so-called hit team left the country that leaves their thirty's here believing that this wasn't the first operation that this team may carry don't certainly they knew what they were doing they knew how to do it and they did it very efficiently and also calls over the last twenty four hours or so
11:55 pm
from senior figures in the ruling party for the king in saudi arabia to get more involved in this to what who exactly issued the order to kill jamal khashoggi and that is certainly a key point of the turkish investigation at this point they want to find out where the bodies remains are they have us. to give details of that saudis have said that there's possibly a local collaborator a local cooperator in their wards who disposed of the body and for that the turks that means that then there is a truck a citizen who was involved in a criminal act in this country and that is the reason that they are pushing very hard for saudi arabia to extradite the eighteen people that they are currently holding in connection with jamal khashoggi death the see that that is groans enough they will not drop that that claim and if they don't get. a satisfactory answer.
11:56 pm
from saudi arabia in the coming days then there's every possibility that they will lose to international. avenues to try and make sure that that happens can also tell you that over the last few hours the norwegian government has called in the saudi ambassador demanding an explanation about jamal khashoggi given that today is exactly one month since he disappeared and according to the turks was murdered in the building behind me let's throw one more country into the mix alan and that is israel what's the israeli prime minister had to say. well the turkish authorities have been trying to marshal international support and certainly there has been widespread international outrage about the death of jamal khashoggi but they know that saudi arabia is also playing the game of allies they have the united states not openly condemning although donald trump has moved significantly from his opening position i know they have benjamin netanyahu the
11:57 pm
prime minister of israel he's been at a conference in bulgaria and he has been seeing that the understand that this investigation has to be carried out the have to find out who was responsible but he's also reminding a global audience and those who are willing to listen that saudi arabia is a key player not just in the middle east but globally as well and so he's essentially warning caution not to push this too far as we know or the turks without seeing it explicitly have pointed the finger at the current prince mohammed bin solomon he's certainly been working hard to develop a relationship with benjamin netanyahu because of their joint opposition to iran so perhaps that puts benjamin netanyahu comments in bulgaria in the last few hours in a bit more perspective alan fischer in istanbul thank you andrew chappelle pick one moment for me out of the month of extraordinary moments what's the one that has galvanized people the most fortunate we have some.
