liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth. turkey's president says the order to kill journalists came from the highest levels of the saudi government. a lot of this is. also coming up the pakistani government is accused of caving in to conservatives that's after the deal to end protests over the acquittal of a christian woman convicted of blasphemy. camps for internally displaced people burned to the ground in central african republic thousands of the displaced in the latest fighting. by. wrapping against

thailand's military rulers the message from young people in a country where elections have been repeatedly delayed. his president says he is convinced the order to kill journalists came directly from the saudi state but he does not believe man gave the order to one has written an article for the washington post newspaper a month. was murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul zain harder is joins us live from there so zain what more did we learn about how the turkish president sees all of this. well really turkey keeping up the pressure staying on the offensive telling the world they're not going to let this go until the full truth is revealed and those responsible for the murder will be held to

account you did mention that the turkish president said he believes the order was given from the highest levels of the saudi government he didn't name who he believes gave that order but he did name the person he believes did not give that order and that was king solomon and it's not the first time he has singled out king's men turkey has made it very clear from the beginning of this crisis that it does not want to damage relations with the saudi government and that it doesn't want this relationship to rupture it was already a cordial relationship to begin with and again reiterating really the lack of cooperation on the part of saudi arabia in the investigation he mentioned the visit of the saudi top prosecutor to istanbul earlier this week a visit which really didn't produce much there was no tangible outcome from that visit in fact many believe the saudi top prosecutor came to turkey to find out what evidence turkey had also the turkish president really questioning the investigation in saudi arabia like for example why aren't you questioning the saudi consul

general the man who was in charge of the saudi diplomatic mission behind me the man who was present when she entered that consulate and he was murdered now in the leaks over the past few weeks the saudi consul general really was depicted more of a witness than someone who played a role but he hasn't been questioned so the feeling in turkey really has been that saudi arabia is not serious and transparent in the investigation into the murder of the saudi journalist and as far as the investigation itself and where it's going from here presumably the focus is still be on these alleged fifteen men hit squads and the emergence that some of those men were actually part of the crown prince's personal security detail. well this is the evidence that turkey has put forward linking in one way or another that this murder really was ordered from the highest ranks of the saudi government the

washington post publisher mentioning this fifteen men hit squad again saying that members of this hit squad are members of the personal security detail of muhammad bin so man the saudi crown prince the man who is running saudi arabia so the feeling here is that the saudi narrative that she they were trying to convince him to go back to saudi arabia and that there was some sort of a fistfight and that saudi arabia dismissed a number of high ranking officials so it will cost. the last cd these men are all they all answer to muhammad bin so men so the feeling here is saudi arabia is trying to cover up for somebody protect somebody if we were the washington post publisher really reiterate the need for the u.s. administration to take action you know why aren't u.s. leaders pressuring saudi arabia because if they don't pressure saudi arabia then it's almost giving a license to kill to any government to target any journalist they do not like what

you know what they're saying and we've spoken to dissidents here in turkey who really fear for their safety on. t.v. a dissident voice raised from turkey would otherwise not be heard. the. news this is an egyptian opposition channel which can 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. this is its chairman a minority 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 believes and sold the wife that 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. 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 she's deaf has weakened build their demand for change senator al jazeera

istanbul jamal khashoggi was a course a columnist for the washington post in the paper's publisher and c.e.o. fred ryan has called on the trump administration 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 hold 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 but 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. a protests in pakistan against the release of a christian woman acquitted of blasphemy charges something called off a deal struck between the government of conservative muslim groups that had been

leading the demonstrations protests began on wednesday when the supreme court overturned bibi's death sentence on charges of insulting you slam has moved from islamabad. after three days of mayhem and chaos or a last minute to avert a major crisis the protests being strong language against the country and you're visually the government and even the military however that deal with drug when the country is religious minute made great the protests and accepted some of the key demands which include the release of hundreds of the protesters that were rested by the or target be they will now be some soul searching in pakistan as to how the religious extremists are able to hijack. state and also challenging the rate of the government the pakistani targeted of course i think that right now that situation in normal it is business as usual but this is something that is going to haunt the

a bad impression but we have been through this little dispute the tensions and diffuse the protests without hurting anyone that's a success then when you negotiate a because there are certain things that you have to accept and the other party has become like we have not good negotiated on outside the constitution what ever the big modern we have popular in the constitution and we are the best we have to pick the good you know the courts of law given them 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 this issue seriously and we have to be thinking you know bring the country from him in education and. logistics to listen to the reality we have to accept that and one precept that knowledge is refined for this government we got into government from

seventy due to the previous government supported long time have nothing to reform the education system we have we are trying to bring my daughter into mainstream we are trying to bring mosque into mainstream like in the harbor but we have these we have got the form and the religious schools and in the religion and in the my daughter we want to again try the same thing and but jobs and other part of the part of the concrete block is a big country and you see we have. made to spend it 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 still a few. maybe two hundred thousand people they are so we need to have attacked a-d. to deal with them we have defused the protests and now it's a time to take on the religious extremism and rest assured that the government is committed to that we will. rebuild all we can do basically.
