turkey's president says the order to kill journalists came from the highest levels of the saudi government. has a stake in this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up pakistani government is accused of caving in to conservatives that's after a deal to end protests over the acquittal of a christian woman convicted of blasphemy. the trumpet ministration restore sanctions on iran but eight countries are allowed to import oil without penalty. no water for millions we find out why one of the world's largest cities turned off

the taps. i'm. a los turkey's president says he is convinced the order to kill journalists came directly from the saudi state but he does not believe king sound man was the one who made the order rich a typo to one has written an article for the washington post newspaper a month after was murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul joins us live from there so what else did the turkish president have to say on this. well clearly the turkish president staying on the offensive keeping up the pressure and telling the world really that turkey will not stop until it reveals the whole truth and hold those responsible for the murder to account or to go on saying like you mentioned the order to kill she was made from the highest the highest level of

the saudi government he doesn't name who he believes is responsible but he does say who he doesn't believe was responsible and that is king selamat and it's not the first time he has singled out king salmen erdogan has been very careful not to rupture the relationship between riyadh and ankara trying to not to damage really the relationship between the two countries even said that the problem is not between the two countries who are decanted mention who was responsible who he believes was responsible people close to the turkish government have and they have named the de facto ruler of saudi arabia crown prince muhammad bin so man erdogan also reiterating what turkey feels and it's that saudi arabia is just not cooperating he mentions the visit of the top prosecutor the saudi top prosecutor to istanbul earlier this week a meeting a visit really which was didn't produce any tangible outcome and erdogan yet again asking the same question where is jamal khashoggi is body and he's even doubting

the good will on the part of the saudi government in their investigation saying that why aren't you questioning the saudi consul general he was in charge of the mission behind me he was inside the consulate when she was killed and in the leaks over the past few weeks the leaks that have been made to the media he was depicted more of a witness than a man who actually played a role so are the gun really keeping up the pressure on saudi arabia to cooperate and where does this leave the investigation with the particular focus on that alleged fifteen man hit squad to which some of its emerged some of whom were part of the crown prince's personal security detail. well yes this is the evidence that turkey is presenting that shows that this crime was premeditated this was not a rogue operation as the saudi arabians claim and that the plan was not to convince him to return back to saudi arabia these fifteen men hit squad they have been

identified by turkey early on weeks ago the washington post publisher reiterating this again that you know some members of this fifteen man hit squad were linked were members of the saudi crown prince mohammed bin so man's personal security detail so it's not just pressure coming from turkey there is international outrage over the murder of of course washington post being one of the most outspoken critics we have to remember she was a contribution to this to this newspaper the washington post also wondering about the u.s. administration's response saying it has been slow why aren't our leaders taking any action and really posing the question if no action is taken and the perpetrators are not held to account this is almost a license to kill and there are many dissidents living in turkey and many of them are afraid that they could be next. elish our t.v. a dissident voice traced from turkey that would otherwise not be heard. this

is an egyptian opposition channel which can't broadcast at home where the media is tightly controlled by the government it's one of a dozen television channels run by opposition movements across the arab world that broadcast from here. its chairman a man nor who once stood as a presidential candidate in egypt and who spent time in prison for opposing longtime president hosni mubarak left his country in two thousand and thirteen after challenging the current president of the fatah has sisi and what he called his to radical rule. the person who told me to come to turkey was my dear friend for thirty five years he said it's the safest country for me to live in he believed and saw the why the president would never hand over opposition members in return for the deal so i took them as advice it seems turkey is safe for

me but it wasn't for him. it's believed that she was murdered in the saudi consulate on october the second because he was a critic of crown prince mohammed bin salmen many arabs who spoke out against those in power and called for democracy and it up living in exile in istanbul. this is one of the few districts where egyptians syrians yemenis saudis and libyans settled after escaping harsh crackdowns and repression at home. it was the arab spring in two thousand and eleven that forced many people to leave their countries syrians opposed to president bashar al assad members of egypt's now outlawed muslim brotherhood group they were forced to leave after the military coup in two thousand and thirteen they found safety in turkey until now. well known dissidents have been threatened with death this presenter live on an egyptian pro-government channel named a minor war as one of those who shouldn't be killed. his friend was killed and

along with him the sense of security in what was seen as a safe haven the brutality of the murder a reminder of what can happen when you confront power but she's friends don't believe his death will be wasted. or i believe god wanted jamal to achieve in his death what he wanted to achieve in his life which was to end oprah's of rule whether military tribal or religious i think his death will be a turning point in the region to get rid of these regimes. she wasn't alone those who fought for new leadership have found a place in turkey which has been described by some as the last corner of the arab spring. as we can build their demand for change. is stumble or jamal khashoggi was of course a columnist for the washington post in the paper's publisher and c.e.o. fred ryan has called on the trumpet ministration to get tougher on saudi arabia.

how we respond to jamal's killing sends a message to saudi tyrants and others around the world this is a crucial moment where we can take a stand and halt the global trend of increased attacks on journalists if those who persecute journalists get away with their crimes and are allowed to return to business as usual it only invites more of the same if saudi arabia faces no consequences for john wall's murder it sends a powerful message of tolerance or perhaps even encouragement and every journalist in every country will be at a greater risk. of protests in pakistan against the release of a christian woman acquitted of blasphemy charges have been called off a deal was struck between the government and conservative muslim groups that had been leading the demonstrations protests began on wednesday when the supreme court overturned the bibi's death sentence on charges of insulting islam kamau high has more from islamabad. after three days of mayhem and chaos or

a last minute to avert a major crisis the protests strong language against the country and your vision eda government and even the military however that deal with drug when the country's religious minutes met with the protests and accepted some of the key demands which include the release of hundreds of the a protester rested by the orthotic be they will now be some soul searching in progress don as to how the religious extremists are able to hijack. state and all. of the government the pakistani targeted of course i think that right now that if you aged normal it is business as usual but this is something that is going to haunt the country for years to come on. a critic that this is your double edged sword and the country must address the issue of the blasphemy law and reject the

abuse across the country your nation and enough to get anybody created in pakistan and they will now be a question as to whether the court live up to the expectations of the people and ensure that the government do it able to control such elements far choudhry is pakistan's minister of information and broadcasting he joins us on the phone now from islamabad thank you for being with us so what do you say then to those who argue that this decision by your government is essentially a capitulation to religious extremists and an attempt to reverse a decision branded by the highest court in the country. there was a situation where you had successfully been able to disprove the situation you know you have with the groups you chose i think the biggest challenge for the government was not. you know the. follow that brought your listeners have

burned or you know the something something happened that gives a bad impression so we have been successfully able to be fused attention. without hurting anyone that's a success then when you negotiate because there are certain things that you have to accept that if other party has to accept what we have not. need good negotiated on the constitution or what ever did modern we have to operate in the constitution and we are we have to. get you know this of course of all we have physically but yet your right to expect even them is that is the reality of the previous government has not done enough knowledge this government will start a process that will be a little longer that mythical long but ultimately we have to take our take this issue seriously and we have to basically you know bring it's going to reform

education. as well all right. you say that this is you trying to diffuse the situation but it's isn't it isn't it a lot more than that let's just go over the details of this agreement that was made the review petition on as years as your baby's appeal has been filed and the government is not going to object to that the procedure is to place her on the exit control list and essentially stopping him from leaving leaving the country would begin immediately the people who are arrested for these protests that began immediately after the decision was rendered are going to be released immediately i mean how is this anything other than a climb down by your government to what is essentially mob rule. well you see the review is right the right of the affected flock to fight the constitutional rights

so obviously government cannot objects of. legal rights it can do that mike wise you know it's a very good because if i want to complete them and you see then that is a legal question that is good to know one cannot get some that. the people believe this is. one you know you can say that. that we have given to the purposes but we think that you know instead of using force that is a fair word that there should be accorded to them what a peaceful end of the protest and we have opted for. but the the people that your government entered into this agreement with the to he can bike have a centrally accepted this and as a result the protests will not take place for now you said earlier that religious extremism is a problem and that you're trying to deal with it how exactly are you dealing with it when when you make a deals like this and what sort of

a message is this going to send to christians in your country and other minority groups in pakistan. well you see there are protests and religious extremism is a reality we have to accept that and once we accept that now this is the time this government we had in the government for seventy do you know the previous government supported long time have nothing to really form the education system we have we are trying to bring. into mainstream we are trying to bring mosques in the mainstream like in the harbor we have we have brought reforms in the in the religious schools and in the religion and in the my daughters we want to we want to try the same thing in punjab and other part of the part of the country pakistan is a big country and you see we have. made this very small segment even a small segment by any means is not small when you have you know the contested

election and got about two million votes so that means there are a few quite maybe people hundred thousand people they are there we need to have attracted a good deal with them we have defused the protests and now it's a time to go on the religious extremism and rest assured that the government is committed to that we will. rebuild all we can to basically. be the decision for him talking to us our child the minister of information thanks for being with us all right still ahead on al-jazeera when we come back donald trump appears to delay u. turn on a threat to shoot on documented migrants at the border. from crisis to opportunity the huge influx of venezuelan refugees into colombia may have a silver lining. from

the clear blue sky of the doha moony. to the fresh fruits and breeze in the city of sanaa. i was still got those really nasty storms rumbling away across central parts of you can see how the clouds just bulging up here pushing some more heavy downpours into parts of italy hopefully not quite as bad as it has been recently but still some very lively sicily easing across into molds and more big downpours coming in here and we'll see some rather lively weather to into the northwest if you can see the tightly packed ice to say that's the remnants of the hurricane osca just pushing across the far northwest of the reasons the strong winds that certainly on the car some heavy rains a lingering downpours into parts of wells northern england maybe up it's a good part of scotland further east not see bad at least as we go through the remainder of sas day can't say the same about the showers into central parts of europe will be down poles coming in here eastern areas of europe that's where the quiet weather is temperatures but the rest of nine hundred s.

so to temperature as we go on into sunday so that sunday's pictures central based and possibly have not too bad but that wet weather still swirling away big seas choppy seas into that western side of the mediterranean violent winds as well and still very windy over towards the press but instead towards the southwest of england and the dates of the process of allah and when all the parts of africa that was somewhat hit. the weather sponsored by qatar and race. i'm his story is a for the people every week brings a series of breaking stories told through the eyes of the world's journalists these two voices journalists were one of the few journalists that were actually doing investigative. listening post as we turn the cameras on the media and focus on how they report on the story so much and demand sixty buys the rights to those stories but then he never publishes those stories they're listening post on al-jazeera.

hello again you're watching al-jazeera water bottle up stories this out turkey's president says he's convinced the order to kill journalist. came from the highest levels of the saudi government in an article for the washington post richard one says he does not believe it was king sound man who gave the order. protests in pakistan against the acquittal of a christian woman who was on death row charged with blasphemy have been called off under a deal with the government we cannot leave the country and demonstrators can file for review with the supreme court. of the us government is restoring sanctions on

iran that were lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal from monday it is targeting oil shipping and financial sectors the other nations that had signed on to that deal condemned the move. as the latest from washington. it's probably fair to say u.s. foreign policy has never been announced like this but this is an actual tweet from the u.s. president meant. i look like a movie poster warning that sanctions are coming and the president later addressed that on the south lawn sanctions are starting on iran. you know read his thank you the very begin his top aides including treasury secretary steve minutia and talking tough as well at a conference call with reporters the treasury department will have more than seven hundred names to our list of blocked answer dates this includes hundreds of targets previously granted sanction for leave under the j c p o as well as more than three hundred new jack nations this is substantially more than we ever have previously

done but they are giving waivers to eight countries allowing them to continue to buy uranium or oil with the promise they will reduce that amount over time the u.s. is breaking the international deal that the rest of the signatories say they want to stay in it proponents of the nuclear deal say this move will isolate the u.s. russia was abiding by it the chinese were abiding by it the europeans were abiding by it and most importantly the iranians were abiding by it's now the united states that is in breach of that agreement and is now actually going so far as to punish countries that are abiding by a u.n. security council resolution you really can't get more pariah than the european union created what they hope will be a work around to still do business in iran u.s. officials are brushing off its potential but are warning allies they could face a actions as well right now talking tough while the world waits to see if it will

be more than words paddy calling al-jazeera washington. president trump has backtracked from suggestions that u.s. soldiers deployed to the border with mexico would shoot migrants if they throw rocks at them he was referring to central american migrants trying to enter the country without documents what they did to the mexican military is that straight they end up with rocks some were very seriously injured and they were throwing rocks in their face they do that with us they're going to be arrested there's going to be a problem i didn't say shoot i didn't say shoot but they do that with us they're going to be arrested for a long time. of iran sanctions and the heated immigration rhetoric could come just ahead of midterm elections on tuesday although donald trump is not on the ballot the vote is seen as a referendum on the first two years of his presidency spending the weekend before the poll campaigning for republican candidates in six states mike hanna has more

from washington. well president trump is not standing in the selection but he's certainly putting a lot of effort into it he's attended rally after rally his message fear of immigration in particular by labeling the caravan that's crossing across mexico as an invasion sending troops to the border and what his critics contend is merely an election tactic but along with that fear of immigration president trump is also stressed economy economy he claims that his presidency has turned around this election will decide whether we build on the extraordinary prosperity that we've unleashed nobody can believe what's happened or whether we left the radical democrats take control of congress and take a giant wrecking ball to our economy or to our future. americans now has the best economy in the history of our country and we want to keep it that

way many observers contend it was under the previous president that the economy started to turn around and president obama's out a nice campaign rallies as well the democrats heavyweight to galvanize the masses to go to the polls to cost their votes with democrats in support of this well by former vice president joe biden but a parochial bamma has been very careful in his language during the campaign very seldom referring to president trump by name but making very clear the implication that under this president the very nature of the society has changed oh america was at a crossroads. the health care of millions is on the belt. making sure working families get a fair shake it's all about. but maybe most of all the character of our country is

almost out of the look in the closing weeks of this election we're seeing repeated attempts to divide us. with rhetoric. designed to make us angry and make us fearful the democrats need to flip the twenty three republican seats in the house of representatives to achieve a majority that they need to flip to republican seats in the senate to take control of that body for the first time president trump may be facing a congress that isn't entirely republican controlled certainly something he hasn't had to contend with in his first two years opinion polls indicate the democrats do stand a good chance of taking control of the house of representatives not that good a chance of getting control of the senate however the opinion polls back in two thousand and sixteen told us that president trump couldn't possibly win. millions of people living in mexico city are looking forward to having their water supply

restored on saturday after three days of enforced drought supplies were turned off a maintenance work on all the world's largest pumping systems that brings water to a city more than two thousand meters above sea level man are apollo reports. what happens when a city of twenty one million people shuts off the water. i was worried because we weren't prepared for this. a resident of mexico city says he still has running water but he's been storing as much as he can just in case the faucets run dry we need to take notice water should be protected it's of utmost importance a few blocks away done to make a restaurant owner says he's been stocking up too even though the water never stopped running he says the media warnings of a mass water shut off have been blown out of proportion and have even ended up hurting his business vocal bumbles dumbos we purchased watches jugs we stored our

water and fortunately we don't have any trouble but i think the problem has been exaggerated many people are not going to restaurants because they heard the news there was no water. faced with crumbling water infrastructure mexico city's water management agency has been working on repairs to the city's water systems an estimated forty percent of the city's portable water is believed to be lost through leaky pipes this is an important project and the people have taken notice as a precautionary measure the local government set up cisterns in strategic parts of the city and deployed water tankers in the event of an emergency this point in central mexico city serves as a water extraction source the water is taken directly from the ground to fill those tanker trucks from here it's sent to areas that are designated as vulnerable such as hospitals or nursing homes officials warned that as many as three million of the city's residents could be left without water when the repairs began preparations by

city officials and residents however were enough to prevent a water emergency but ended up a little dizzy to mexico city. venezuela's crumbling economy has forced millions to leave more than one million people have gone to neighboring colombia the world bank says that influx comes with its downsides but it could be good for colombia's economy. yet he has. the world bank calls it an unprecedented exodus in latin america one more a keen to a full blown refugee crisis than people searching for a better life it's one conclusion of a report by the international financial institution to assess the impact that the venezuelan exodus is having in neighboring colombia the speed and number of migrants escaping the country coupled with their vulnerable condition makes the venezuelan crisis one of the world's worst yet many believe it's not getting enough

attention. people go crazy over the caravan of central americans entering mexico trying to reach the u.s. five maybe six thousand migrants that so many week every four days you see father french. runs a shelter and services for migrants in the border city of. hundreds of been sign up for assistance bailey they receive meals for fifteen days and at thirty dollars bonus for three months. at the end of three months they're in the same desperate conditions as they were before hungry lacking a roof in need of medical attention jobs that we can't remove the world bank says the crisis this year alone has already cost colombia one point two billion dollars the report praises columbia's open arms policy and its efforts to register the new arrivals to cope with the emergency yet few manage to find proper jobs. that she

bellows been here for eight months with her husband and children there selling on the streets camel how my husband and i are trying to get hired but it's difficult because we're immigrants foreigners and we're here illegally but there's a silver lining in the report the world bank says that in the long term your arrival of so many young migrants could be beneficial for the colombian economy if local outdoor e.t.s. act fast. colombia is aging and needs more young workers legalising the new arrivals in creating jobs to need to use could reap benefits in coming years the government says it agrees with the suggestions but implementing them requires money they don't have it we're not going to force when no government is making a huge effort in the middle of major fiscal restrictions with the international community to understand what's happening and lend a hand. international donors have promised one hundred thirty million dollars for

colombia only thirteen million has arrived so far with the crisis expected to continue in likely getting worse the entire continent this threatened with the consequences alison the. all right let's get a round of now of our top stories on our jazeera turkey's president says he's convinced the order to kill journalists. came from the highest levels of the saudi government but in an article for the washington post richard type one says he does not believe king solomon gave the order just a designer harder has more from istanbul. clearly the turkish president staying on the offensive keeping up the pressure and telling the world really that turkey will not stop until it reveals the whole truth and hold those responsible for the murder to account erdogan saying like you mentioned the order to kill she was made from
