because. your mom's from here you can. al-jazeera correspondent we are still here. a month after the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi cherokees president steps up pressure for answers from saudi arabia. summary of this is the world news from al-jazeera. his own government is accused of caving in to conservatives up to making a deal to end the protests over a blasphemy conviction. voyage on the other i think mr trump is

a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically worse he's involved in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him for their contempt for donald trump grows on the streets of tehran just days before new stiffer u.s. sanctions go into place. there's only so much rain thing you can do won't twitter i can't rant i'm not going to put myself out there to make the changes that need to be chinese and i start number of minority women running for office in america's midterm elections we will be speaking to one of them. i'm. so journalist jamal khashoggi was killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul just over a month ago and turkey's president continues to put pressure on the kingdom's leader for in an article for the washington post reject time but one says he is convinced . orders to kill khashoggi came from the highest levels of the saudi government but

importantly he says he does not believe that king solomon himself was the one who made that order in fact he stressed both countries continue to have friendly relations he again demanded saudi officials reveal the location of the show g.'s body and warned the case will not go away said no one should dare to commit such acts on the soil of a nato ally again adding that the killing was also a clear violation and blatant abuse of the vienna convention on consular relations so off we go to stumble outside the saudi consulate is a hash in what is president. i don't to say his game here but what is he playing here over a month now since you went missing and he's still sort of just drip feeding this information and these demands out well. this is this is come of this is what he's trying to do is basically trying to say that saudi arabia and turkey remain good are lies. and that he

has huge respect for king solomon but i have to diocese but at the same time he's insisting that no political consideration will come above or bury the need to reveal the truth about what happened. and particularly who gave the order to kill him the turkish government does not believe that it's a decision that was made by syria for example the deputy chief of intelligence who were sacked or. they believe this was someone really higher up there hinting that it could be crown prince mohammed and so do not mentioning the name of this group zakk explains why they are now on the offensive saying that saudi arabia should come out openly to the world and tell them and tell the world what happened today for example. show is the deputy head of the ruling ak party said that king solomon

as a custodian of the two holy sites for more than a billion muslims should stand up for the ideals of those sites and tell the world a simple answer who gave the order to kids are quite all of us got on the offensive on this saying our patience is running thin and therefore we need to have an answer from the saudi government any time soon is this just a turkey the solve the narrative at the moment politically speaking hashem or do you think there's still plenty going on behind the scenes with the united states with well any other players. there are loads of political considerations to be taken into account we have to remind our viewers that just a few months ago for example. king compris mohammed and it's been said now refer to turkey as the triangle of evil saying basically are the biggest threats saudi arabia faces are iran muslim brotherhood and turkey so we're talking about

a strained relationship between the two countries over the last few years this is number one number two the turkish government is concerned that the united states of america in particular could be using its leverage talking here about president donald trump to try to pave the way for a political cover up as far as the killing of them. is concerned so we're talking about different issues to be taken into account this explains why the turkish government is now saying it has been doing its best but he's hoping for the international. community to pile up pressure against the saudi government and i think they are also aware of the fact that the midterm elections of the united states of america could be a defining moment as far as the probe into the hostility is concerned they are in a race to trying to define what's happening finally come out the turks seem to be pretty much confident they have strong evidence strong material they would reveal

one day this explains why they are adamant confident in every statement every speech by the president or by any senior member of the government that they know way deal about what happened to them up except for one crucial element the whereabouts of his remains still a month later and we don't know it's extraordinary in istanbul thank you. two other news in the lawyer representing a christian woman in pakistan acquitted of blasphemy has fled the country in fear for his life saif says he had to leave so he could continue to represent bibi his conviction was overturned on weapons day she spent eight years on death row officials have now agreed to stop maybe from leaving pakistan in order to end the violent protests over the supreme court ruling to free her she was convicted back in twenty ten of insulting the prophet mohammed during a rout with neighbors we heard from fallujah chantry who is pakistan's minister of

information and broadcasting and he said the deal with the protesters was struck within a constitutional framework where you had successfully been able to diffuse the situation you know when you have been negotiations i think the biggest challenge for the government was not to use you know the did much to follow that thought. but i know you know if. something happens that it's a bad impression so we have been through this use the tensions and diffuse the without hurting anyone that's when you negotiate because there are certain things that you have to accept and the other party is except that we have not good negotiated on the constitution what ever did modern we have up in the constitution and we are we have to. get you know the courts of thanksgivings amid the reality of the biggest government has not done enough

knowledge this government will start a process that will be a little longer that me particularly long but ultimately we have to take this issue previously and we have to. you know bring. in education as well. iran's supreme leader says the us has failed to reach its goal of dominating terror and that the world opposes every decision president has made. you made those comments a day after washington said it was restoring its sanctions the ones that were lifted as part of the twenty fifteen nuclear deal the measures come into effect on monday and iran's oil sector is among the industries being targeted for support from. iran. when you look past all the politics what becomes clear is that american sanctions iranian people more than they change iranian government policies american policy some would say trump's brinkmanship has meant economic

chaos for iran the value of the iranian ryall has suffered a major fall in the last year adding to high inflation and unemployment concerns. all of this hurts low income and working people first and foremost they struggle to feed their families because prices for some basic goods have doubled. people's purchasing power has been reduced they talk about their problems when a customer wants to buy something you can tell the situation some people used to come here to buy meat once a month. to month when it comes to iran u.s. presidents have pursued a policy of containment for decades trying to limit iranians economically militarily and politically in their regional and global affairs even the twenty fifteen nuclear deal that president obama championed gave iran back some of its financial freedoms many iranians just a softer approach to the same containment policy but by turning back the clock on

bilateral ties with iran what president donald trump has done is to show people here that during his administration there will be no blurred lines between friends and enemies but if hope pushing iranians towards poverty would inspire them to topple their own leaders he'll likely be disappointed previous protests never got big enough all he's apparently done is make people here miserable. do you think mr trump is a crazy man who made the situation in the region drastically his involvement in the region and sanctions have made the people hate him i really don't think that he's the one that should be the president of america. maybe good for his own people but not as you do. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows. everybody. when iran's leaders signed the nuclear deal they said it was the thing to fix everyone's financial problems

three years later with american promises of more sanctions than ever before the best that people here can hope for is that iran can manage to sell enough oil to survive until donald trump has left the white house zain. and iran's defense minister amir how to me says this country has begun mass producing its locally designed co soft fighter jet to me says the air force will soon have the number of jets that it needs a u.n. convoy carrying much needed aid has reached the remote group one camp in syria it's in a rebel held area next to the border with jordan but it's encircled by government forces and thousands of people are stranded they lost a back in january and has more. it's sandstorm season and rock band we're going blind this boy says our homes are destroyed take us away from him. rick band is the

no man's land in more ways than one a desolate camp in the open desert near the jordanian border caught between warring sides there's no escape. people came here three years ago fleeing i still fight has us russian and syrian airstrikes now there are some fifty thousand people many of them women and children. i know like the ones who were protests began last month after a smuggling route for food and medicine was closed by government forces. he's disabled he's also malnourished he's almost a skeleton from starvation officials say a u.n. aid convoy expected last week was delayed because of security concerns but now it's finally here food hygiene and health supplies to be distributed over the next three to four days. humanitarian convoys here require approval from damascus the last

time rock band received any aid was in january then a cross border delivery from jordan a red distribution after it sealed its border in the aftermath of a twenty sixteen isolette tac that killed seven jordanian soldier as we said we're not going to. is syrian people on syrian territory so it is the responsibility of the syrian government. and the international community but wasn't established national. this is. by. circumstance where. the stranger the border. u.s. forces have a military base nearby policing a fifty five square kilometer so-called deescalation zone. russia blames the u.s. for the deteriorating situation the u.s. says russia and syria using rock band as an excuse to question its presence here

and say they really want to help these people or they want to use them as a as a as something to kind of come after us this is not a united states problem started jordan problem these are syrians these syrians are dying and many of these new graves are very small the red crescent says despite this delivery the situation remains critical no one perhaps knows that better than those burying their children here. al-jazeera. still had for you want i'll just say we're at camps for internally displaced people are burned to the ground the central african republic where thousands have been displaced and the like as as far . hello the writing clouds continue to affect the middle east at the moment we got

rain and snow over towards western side of the himalayas but for the west coast that eastern side of the med some showers some longer spells of rain also coming in head madina see the showers there into cyprus but it's across syria into iraq where we could see the heaviest downpours journals of one of two shells are making their way back into israel so that west of weather that will continue to just ease it where little further more which as we go on through monday hopefully not quite as heavy not quite as intense but the showers still it nevertheless with a possibility of some flash flooding then basin areas by monday ten we find in try you could just see want to touche is just around southern parts of q eight so that west of weather that's continuing then across northern parts of saudi arabia fair amount of cloud across a good part of the gulf us and in the case here in concert with a top temperature of thirty one celsius not too much sunshine monday the sun comes out with back see the hazy sunshine here of the north those showers will continue

as you can see into a good part of a saudi arabia we have got some showers long spells of right to the mozambique channel lossie dry for southern africa but cooler the cape town. ard.

you with al jazeera these are our top stories turkey's president says he is convinced the order to kill journalist jamal khashoggi came from the highest levels of the saudi government in his article for the washington post reject type one says he did not believe it was king solomon who gave that order the lawyer representing a christian woman in pakistan acquitted of blasphemy has fled the country in fear for his life. says he had to leave so he could continue to represent a sea of baby whose conviction was overturned on wednesday she had spent eight years on death row for insulting the prophet mohammad. and iran's supreme leader ali hum and they says the u.s. has failed to reach its goal of dominating teheran he made those comments after the u.s. government said it was restoring sanctions that were lifted as part of the twenty

fifteen nuclear deal. they will be worse than expected famine conditions in yemen if efforts to deliver aid are blocks that is according to the un's children's fund unicef it says both the yemeni government and the rebels are making it impossible to deliver and distribute aid unicef is backing u.s. calls for a cease fire within a month to end the conflict. at least ten people i'm sorry ten thousand people have been displaced by fighting in central african republic and just the last four days camps set up for those who fled their homes have been attacked and at least two people killed doctors without borders has posted pictures which appear to show the camps completely burned to the ground former president francois it was easy it was overthrown by a coalition of rebel groups and twenty thirteen since then more than seven hundred thousand people have been displaced and more than half a million of left the country. when it was twenty thirteen as we say the seleka

rebels overran the capital forcing the front to up aziz a out since then thousands displaced last year there was a rise in violence that forced several aid agencies to withdraw leaving those tens of thousands without support in january the international committee of the red cross warned of a worsening situation with half the entire population in need of aid well abends is head of mission for doctors without borders in central african republic and he told us the international community when it needs to do more to protect civilians. the situation is quite critique in both the people that are witnessing violence we have received in both the hospital supported by m.s.f. doctors without borders that anger or i mean by around twenty more wounded so some of those cases are very quickly can work trying to evacuate been. bombarded situation continues to be serious because it's very sporadic fighting ongoing and

that genes our colleagues cannot war cannot move properly to find out that there are more people who need equally very asian that would be willing to come to the hospital but access is not guaranteed the very fighting and going so we're really concerned about that there's two things that are very important for assisting the population very suffering days violence on the one hand the population need to be protected we need to ensure that the rich protection for this population when fighting in between different on groups happens that's really key essential and on the other hand it is very important that we can have as many you know humanitarian actors as possible responding to the before me the president to the u.s. president told trump has backtracked from suggestions that soldiers deployed to the border with mexico would shoot migrants if i throw rocks at them he was referring to the central american migrants trying to reach the united states on foot what

they did to the mexican military is a disgrace they had with someone very seriously injured and they were throwing rocks in their face they do that they're going to be arrested they're going to be a problem. but they. are going to be arrested for a long. now those thousands of central american migrants traveling in the caribbean through southern mexico have actually had their hopes dashed of being bused to mexico city governor a very current state with drew an earlier announcement which provided humanitarian assistance and transportation because mexico city is shut down its water system through the weekend we've got. in mexico city to talk about that we were talking to you about the water yesterday and will tell us more about exactly why this offer of transport has been withdrawn. crews did announce that he promised that buses for five thousand people would be provided

to transport them from here to mexico city these five thousand individuals are members of that migrant caravan that left honduras several weeks ago but that promise as you mentioned was quickly withdrawn the governor of posted a video online where he cited that water shortage of mexico city is the reason for withdrawing the promise he said that quote the shortage will affect more than seven million people that he didn't want to make the situation worse now with that said i should note that the water caught up cutoffs have ended and service has been restored almost entirely to the city and that migrant caravan they did publish an open letter to the governor. expressing their disappointment in saying that to make a promise like that only to quickly withdraw it is unacceptable so if they're not heading to mexico city by bus manuel what does happen just continue by foot.

well that's the question governor eunice did ask the migrants offering them inviting them to be taken to the city of in a cruise where they can be provided with shelter they could be provided with food as well as medical attention we're hearing reports that many of these migrants are falling are falling ill but it is unclear at least until now whether or not they're going to take them up on that offer to move south toward the city of it accrues or if they're going to as you said walk north they do want to come to mexico city first where they can sign a registry with the with officials here in the city and request transportation to the u.s. southern border ultimately their goal is to reach the united states southern border but it could still be weeks before they reach that point. with the update from mexico city thank you. u.s. midterm elections now and policies and rhetoric of inspired a record number of minorities to run mostly in the democratic party and some of them could be making history you've got states standing for governor in georgia if

she wins she becomes america's first female black governor deb holland from new mexico is hoping to become the first native american woman to enter congress christina is the first openly transgender nominee from any major party for governor she's contesting the moment in minnesota you've got a lot of the first somali american to run and if she wins she would make history alongside the palestinian american from michigan as the first muslim american women in congress. with a report now from alabama where a record number of african-american women are running for office. of the magic city classic brings the entire community together in american football showdown between the two largest historically black universities is the mid-term elections approach politics is never far away. but doug jones this is an important event when he won

a special election last year jones became the state's first democratic senator in more than two decades a victory sealed with overwhelming support from african-american women voters is when say campaign is hispanics change that's how we're going to liberate those communities. particularly black women. we have to take back our power back to the people. mother of two veronica johnson is one of those determined to challenge the status quo she's just one of a wave of women determined to change politics. but there's only so much ranting you can do on facebook there's only so much ranting you can do on twitter i can't rant. that going to put myself out there to make the changes that need to be timed this the most important thing i think is a referendum on the current president the comics that political science professor angela lewis says the unprecedented number of black female candidates will have

a lasting impact the women run for office and win office in alabama. come to motivate those women who were sitting on the plane you know i'm tired of politics as usual let me just throw my head out there and one flop and that's the way. alabama remains a deeply conservative state but the sheer number of candidates this year could be a sign of things to come alabama ranks among the bottom six states of female representation but these midterm elections may change that in all the around seventy female candidates running for various positions many of them african-american and the driving forces behind this are important the election of democrat doug jones being one the me too movement is also playing a role but there's also an overwhelming desire to change politics as normal and make elected officials more representative of the state. where the candidates like veronica win or lose on november the sixth may not matter

in the long run it's example they're searching for others that may send the most powerful message to gallagher al-jazeera birmingham alabama. now the drug lord who is considered the most powerful criminal in mexico will go on trial in the united states on monday born into poverty in the mountains of walking through the ranks of organized crime amassing a fortune and overseeing an illicit empire with links around the globe john heilemann reports now in the first of a three part series on the man known as el chapo this is how the legend of most powerful criminal chappell ended a tired middle aged man bundled into exile in the us. and this is where it began in one thousand nine hundred two a cartel middleman was caught on film for the first time walking guzman just been put in a maximum security prison but it wouldn't hold him his first jail break legend has

their communications once the celebrities left the tightened finally joaquin guzman was taken in january two thousand and sixteen this time there was no escape and the legend finally became just a moment ago. john homan now does it a similar. to the headlines now in al-jazeera turkey's president says he is convinced the order to kill journalist jamal khashoggi came from the highest levels of the saudi government however in his article for the washington post reject typer one also said he doesn't believe it was king solomon himself who gave the order of the headlines the lawyer representing a christian woman in pakistan acquitted of blasphemy has fled the country in fear for his life saif says he had to leave so he could continue to represent i see a baby whose conviction was overturned on wednesday she had spent eight years on
