exposed. is live for us in istanbul hi there so are do one continues to to keep up the pressure. indeed julie and at all levels the government is talking about the need for signs of to come out and explain what happened on the second of october of the consulate and tell them what happened to the remains of the body of. the who gave the order to kill him today for example the daily newspaper spoke about three key players in the death squads. and t.v. saying that they basically were responsible for cutting of the body of the mother and then taken those remains to the residence the residence of the. of the saudi consul where the body was destroyed without further elaborating on the

circumstances and this gives you an idea about how the political level you have the government on the offensive saying that saudi arabia should tell the world war two veterans same time the drip feed leaks to the local newspapers to continue that push because they think this could be extremely helpful julie of the beginning of the crisis with the saudis were in denial about the case it was just because of the of the launch of those leaks that be the saudis change their narrative and then finally admit it was a premeditated killing and hashim up what do you think we can expect next from the turkish government. to apologize we seem to have lost contact there with our correspondent who was live

there from up for us in istanbul from just outside the saudi consulate. now more than ten thousand people have taken refuge in a hospital compound in central african republic after fighting near the northern border with chad at least two people were killed in attacks on camps for people already displaced by violence doctors without borders has posted pictures which appear to show camps completely burned to the ground c.a.r. has been in crisis for the last five years with more than seven hundred thousand people displaced another half a million people have left the country well in twenty thirteen a mainly muslim rebel alliance called select to seize power in the capital forcing president francois boozy to flee the arm christian groups called the empty block of engels to confront them lose them fight his hundreds were killed and thousands displaced in the subsequent violence but just a few months later the silica alliance fell apart splintering into several groups and interim government to power in twenty fourteen but failed to stop the spiraling bloodshed that two years later false in our sons to a day or

a was elected president but he's also struggled to gain control then last year a surge in fighting for several aid agencies to withdraw even tens of thousands without support c.a.r.e. is now a battleground between various armed groups effectively partitioned the informant was them select a fight is now calling themselves the f p r c n n t groups. well in january the red cross warned that two and a half million people that's more than half of the country's population are in need of aid or. is head of the mission for doctors without borders in ca are and he says the international community needs to do more to protect civilians. this equation is going to critique in both the people that are witnessing violence we have received in both houses be those supported by m.s.f. doctors without borders but thank god for any man by around twenty more wounded so some of those cases are very critique and we're trying to evacuate been. bombarded

the situation continues to be serious because he says sporadic fighting ongoing and it seems our colleagues can not or cannot move there be to find out if there's more people he needs equally very patients that would be willing to come to the hospital but access is not guaranteed there is fighting on going so we're really concerned about that there's two things that are very important for the population that is suffering these violence on the one hand the depletion needs to be protected we need to ensure that the reef protection for these population when fighting between different groups happens that's really key essentials and on the other hand it is very important that we can have as many you know human factors as possible responding to be for me well unicef is warning that the famine conditions in yemen could accelerate if efforts to deliver aid continue to be built the united nations

the blasphemy law and in their dread it will of course be of crucial importance that they move on they have fought. coming up on this news hour from london. where in deeply conservative alabama where a record number of african-american women are running for office in the u.s. midterms iran's supreme leader lashes out at the u.s. as washington prepares to reimpose sanctions we'll look at who they'll hit hardest . unless the city pay for the first time since their time when i was killed in a helicopter crash. thousands essential american migrants have left southern mexico on after buses that they were promised failed to turn up the governor vera cruz offered dozens of buses on friday evening to take the migrants to mexico city and soon after he would try

to deal for saying it wouldn't be right his maintenance work was expected to leave the capital with i walk over the weekend migrants are heading towards seen ited states border where american troops have been deployed to stop them crossing over the valley of the world with only. they are playing games with us we have dignity we have rights but the fact that they say one thing and promise and then when the time comes they come up with a new idea they're just playing with us tell the truth that's all that's what we want let's get more now from manuel paulo in mexico city either manuel do people believe that the cancelling of this bus offer was really because of the water situation in mexico city or something else entirely. well i think that sound bite that we just heard from the that person talking about the distress that they're starting to have of officials and but actress is very telling the governor had eunice had promised as many as five thousand individuals free transportation from that actress to mexico city only to quickly withdraw that offer

citing the water crisis here in mexico city the governor had said quote the shortage will affect more than seven million people adding that he didn't want to add to troubles here in mexico city with that said we should know that the water shut off is over the government announced that the service had been nearly fully restored to homes here in the city in fact the migrant caravan published an open letter to the governor saying that they were disappointed with this decision calling it an acceptable that they would make such a promise only to only do it with withdraw. and money well what next then for the migrants. i think that's the question that's a lot on a lot of people's minds is what exactly are they going to do next the governor of a cruise had invited migrants to move to barrack to city to be transferred to bid after a city where they could be provided shelter they could be provided food as well as medical attention given that many of them are reportedly sick is what we're hearing

but the latest reports that we're hearing from from our sources within the caravan is that they have decided not to take the governor on that offer and instead opted to walk to mexico city mexico city is going to be their next stopping point where they will sign up with officials and request transportation ultimately making their way to the united states southern border. there live with the latest from mexico city milan thank you and you're is samina she's facing criticism after sending as a tweet that appeared to use comments by the u.s. president as justification for shooting and killing to test us on thursday don't suggest that u.s. soldiers on the mexico border could fire at migrants who try to cross. anybody throwing stones rocks like they did to mexico in the mexican military mexican police with a badly hurt police and soldiers of mexico we will consider that a firearm. nigerian military's tweet which has since been deleted referenced the video and said please watch and make your deductions from backtracked on friday

saying he merely meant the migrants would be arrested. or campaigning as from top in the us ahead of tuesday's crucial midterm elections the vote is seen as a referendum on chum's presidency immigration and the economy the major talking points so for spending the last weekend before the poll campaigning for republican candidates in six states americans will vote for governess and you has of representatives and thirty five of the one hundred senate seats a historic number of women candidates are running in the midterms and from an incredibly diverse range of backgrounds twenty nine year old alexandria ok zio cortez a democratic socialist from new york's the bronx on the scene to the long term democrat and is now on track to becoming the youngest woman ever elected to congress then in georgia stacy abrams could be the first black woman governor in the u.s. she has the backing of former president barack obama and television star oprah

winfrey i am a presently is running a polls in these elections after beating a ten term democrat to cement her place as massachusetts first black congresswoman kristin how quits resigned from her will is c.e.o. of vermont electric co-operative to campaign to be governor of vermont could be the first openly transgender governor in the united states single mother and member of laguna playbill tribe deb holland is one of three native american women hoping to secure a congressional seat and michigan's rushy death slave and minnesota's old law are both democrats poised to make history when they become the first muslim american woman in congress. well in the u.s. state of alabama a record number of female african-american candidates are running for office and twenty most are running against white men and if they win it could change politics in the south from birmingham alabama and gallacher reports.

inventing a mile a bomb of the annual magic city classic brings the entire community together it's an american football showdown between the two largest historically black universities as the midterm elections approach politics is never far away. with 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 of victories sealed with overwhelming support from african-american women voters is when say campaign is his spokes change we believe that that's how we're going to liberate those communities and so you're seeing these women step up particularly black women in the south step up but i thought black men to say enough is enough we have to take back our power and put that 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 alabama's politics so yes i'm unhappy 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 if i'm not going to put myself out there to make the times as they need to be times 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 see women run for office and win office in alabama it come to motivate those women who were sitting on the train you know bread and. part of politics as usual let me just throw my head out there and run for office is the way i am and. 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 there are 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 b. two 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 setting for others that may send the most powerful message i think alec girl jazeera birmingham alabama. well let's get more on the midterms now from rob reynolds who's in washington d.c. hi there rob so the midterm election is just literally days away isn't it and of course millions of american voters have already cast their ballots do we know anything about those early voting figures and what they show. well they chill couple of things julie they show that there's

a very high enthusiasm in this midterm election normally the numbers are down in the midterms as opposed to the presidential election years but this year more than twenty million people have already voted and in fourteen states at least fourteen states including texas more people have now voted early that the entire number of people who voted in the last midterm election in two thousand and fourteen now according to some analyses of the votes they numbers of large numbers of young people and first time voters are voting early that could be very good for the democrats in some areas but regardless of which way you interpret this it is a sign of high voter enthusiasm in gauge mitt and what they've also been concerns raised have there about voter suppression what's the latest been on the. well it's him an important factor in several races you mentioned stacy abrams running to be

the first woman a black woman to be governor of a state she's running in georgia and she has accused her opponent brian camp of trying to suppress black votes by. camp using his power as secretary of state in georgia which oversees elections and voting to purge large numbers of people over fifty thousand from the voter rolls and about seventy percent of those people were or are african-americans now on friday a federal judge ruled that camp had to reinstate the names of five thousand people who recently took the oath of citizenship became eligible to vote as citizens of the united states it seems the georgia computer system did not account for people who had recently become newly minted citizens so they will be allowed to vote then there is north dakota there's a very hot senate race there an incumbent democrat

a challenge republican challenger they're virtually neck and neck and the state has just passed a law or put in place a law after some court challenges that requires voters to show identification at the polls with a picture and a numbered street address well there are a large number several thousand native american voters in the state of north carolina many of whom live in rural areas and they rely on post office box rather than numbered street addresses of so this is seen as a disadvantage to the democratic candidate senator heidi heitkamp who relies on native american votes it's a very very close race and every vote counts and right now tribal officials are working frenziedly to produce identification that would meet these new state requirements and give. these numbered addresses to native american voters rob what's the consensus amongst strategists and pundits about which parties will

eventually prevail in the house since then i know it's a loaded question asking anyway. well. i mean it's a great question and there is a general consensus i think among pundits and strategists that the democrats are poised to take the house by about thirty seats they need twenty three seats they need to flip twenty three seats in order to take control of that house of congress democrat or republican candidates are finding that they are losing a lot of support in suburban constituencies especially among women moderate women and that could be part of this as you mentioned before referendum on president trump but julie regardless then of course the senate i should mention most people think that the senate julie will go in remain in republican hands it's just too hard a hill for democrats to climb there but regardless of how you spin it are you interpret

it you should take all these prognostications with a great big grain of salt given the spectacular failure of pollsters to predict president trump's election in two thousand and sixteen we'll take that on board well they are from washington d.c. thank you well it's much more still to come this hour as one of mexico's most powerful drug lords prepares for child on monday we report on the rise of the man known as cho. by indigenous groups in french euless and to fight it as new caledonia as independence referendum gets underway and in sport brazilian striker home lives up to his name but he can to become a hero to chinese title race will be it will be here with morning ted.

studio welcome to the program and your take on this criticism we also saw bomb a didn't we calling it a p.r. stunt for the upcoming elections. well secretary of defense jim out of this has pushed back on the idea that this is a stunt but he's undermined by the president's rhetoric obviously the timing of this coming just on the evening of an important election you know even though the caravan that's become a centerpiece of much of his luck to our rhetoric is still more than a month away from approaching the united states so i think there is you know this broad concern that that you know the american military forces are being you know used for an operation that has very very strong political overtones a what about a more widely held view i'm thinking about the american public i mean perhaps it's very hard to tell right now with all the electioneering that's going on but you

know do people agree broadly with this idea of troops being used in this way. well that is not unprecedented julie you know we have deployed troops at various times you know in the past to augment you know the border control the border patrol and and since nine eleven the border patrol itself has has increased both in size you know and capability i think what is unusual here is is the rhetoric the presidential rhetoric you know surrounding the deployment you had in the last couple of days you know the president even suggest that if troops are confronting a rock throwing rock throwing civilians they would be authorized to use lethal force you know the military actually in the last ten or fifteen years you know given that more and more military operations they are coming with civilians nearby the military has been training to go in the opposite direction to try to you're

resist using lethal force to use the lowest level of force you know to resolve a situation so i think you know that that president or rhetoric the the portrayal of this as a crisis you know very few i think military officers would agree you know that this is a crisis particularly when you look at what's happening elsewhere in the world in syria or yemen or afghanistan this is a very manageable situation the military you know can play a useful role here but obviously as you said you know the rhetoric would suggest that there's a very strong you know political motivation behind what the president is doing how unusual is it p.j. to see this kind of criticism from military officials that take it i mean perhaps the answer is it's not that unusual itself and i just wonder from your perspective to be i'm still getting criticism of bad strategy like this. well i think the news media draw upon the military you know retired military

officers including me you know to kind of explain military operations to to broader civilian audiences is nothing unusual at that i do think that it's highly unusual you know when when in the midst of a military deployment you know for senior retired senior officers to call it wasteful i think that is very unusual but i think the backdrop here julie is that as as electioneering becomes more sophisticated you know the millet in military ranks retired veterans are being drawn into the you know political milieu you know to a greater extent we saw that in the trump administration you had a retired lieutenant general michael flynn what went very quickly from from the active duty ranks you know to the trump campaign and very briefly to the white house before it was dismissed you know shortly after after president trump took office so i think that more and more you're tradition by tradition military tend to

try to resist being drawn into political circles but more and more you're seeing that's becoming more and more prevalent you know each candidate for president for example will have his or her stable of retired officers you know endorsing you know this candidate this position that's just the way that the politics today is working here in the united states p.j. crowley there joining me live from washington d.c. fascinating as always thank you at the jungle and he was considered the most powerful criminal in mexico will go on trial in the united states on monday or into poverty in the mountains of sin aloa looking good sman rose to the ranks of organized crime amassing a fortune and overseeing an illicit empire with links around the pill in the first of a three part series john holdren reports on the man known as shop. this is how the legend of mexico's most powerful criminal chapo ended a tired middle aged man bundled into exile in the us. and this is where it began

in one thousand nine hundred full a cartel middleman who was caught on film for the first time walking to just been put in a maximum security prison but it wouldn't hold him his first jail break legend has it was in a laundry basket. once he began climbing the criminal ladder to public enemy number one he's seen a low a cartel had links all over the world he even made it on to the forbes rich a list it was a huge leap for someone who in a rolling stone interview said he'd grown up the poorest of the pool. from the time i was six until now my parents are very humble family very poor my mom made bread to support the family i would sell it i sold oranges soft drinks candy. how did i go from that to miss cruz told criminal we asked someone who'd known him for years. everyone was waiting for him to come home because then there would be a party with ten or twelve bands of musicians it was beautiful and he gave out

gifts someone like condell chapel to a mix can rub in hood but there's another side to the business he and his sin aloa kut-o. dominated. by order to clean up plazas corrupt police and if they don't succeed or someone gets out of line they kill them that happens all over the world so the narcos of sin aloa wouldn't be any different in two thousand and fourteen the authorities caught up with again but the great escape artist repeated his trick this time disappearing through his so floor into a tunnel complete with electric lighting and a getaway bike. miscues government was humiliated and chappals legend grew he headed back to the place he knew best these are the mountains where chopper was born and raised they were his center of operations a hideout a refuge he knew the people here and out of reverence or fear they would never give

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 now they come once every two months 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 barack obama championed that gave iran back

some of its financial freedoms many iranians saw that is 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 trumpet 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 worse 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 he took office things. it's better not to say anything about his personality everyone knows how. everybody will take. what

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. run. iran's began mass producing its locally designed kosar find to jet defense minister amir hatami says the number of jets needed will soon be delivered to the air force due to sanctions iran's air force has been limited to a few dozen strike aircraft when the country's possession before the one nine hundred seventy nine revolution iran has had to rely on russia for aerial support for its operations in syria the search for the crash line airplane has entered its six day in indonesia with divers reported seeing the fuselage and engines of the jet on the sea floor a ping locator is also to take to the signal that may be from the cockpit voice

reports. new caledonia is nearly twenty thousand kilometers from paris yet the pacific island territory has been since eight hundred fifty three parts of france but after sunday the bones could be broken new caledonians will be asked whether they want their territory to cede full sovereignty and become an independent. opinion polls suggest those of european descent like those on this rally in may want to remain french think played only and france is the best that we can have. but the french state and the french president to visit new caledonia earlier this year are officially neutral that has a lot to do with history in that ninety seven people of indigenous quranic descent boycotted a referendum because they saw the process then as rigged in favor of french loyalists the following year on the outlying islands of ear supporters of independents resorted to violence on the twenty second of april night and eighty
