and protests since two thousand and eleven. has similar thing now campaigner behind amnesty international which is calling for the immediate release of shape and all other prisoners of conscience. well to start with. the sandman for us is a prisoner of conscience he's been detained since twenty at the end of twenty three fourteen and he is serving a full year sentence. the new charges. are absurd in the sense that back in twenty eleven when the uprising was happening there was a there were attempts to meet eighty eight and two to find a solution to to the situation and. chehalis and mine had found holes with the prime minister not the prime minister the minister of foreign of all of affairs of state affairs in qatar and these were one exchanges an

attempt to to get qatar to mediate in the situation at the time so two six years on for him to be charged with these with to be accused of spying for qatar it's totally absurd and the back raney's playing authorities are really. going forward with that a crush on dissent any a position opposing voice is being crushed this is a clear signal that they will not accept or agree to have anybody criticising them from within or with that in the news ahead on al-jazeera. the only look at the influence women voters are likely to have on the us mid-term elections and why the un says a child is dying every ten minutes again and. my

. al are for most part iran is. dry at the moment but to the west is a different story that system's running up the red sea now in the levant as you can see not give me a huge amount of rain but you don't need a huge amount of very significant weather in what is normally a dry place iraq so twenty one to forty millimeters but that preceded by sound storms this is sundry stuff and it's going to be there monday she says sort of circulation to it so anywhere from kuwait up through iraq toward syria and back background into northern egypt is the circulation the green is the potential showers and drifting steadily eastwards not to be flash flooding of course what he thought again then it hits the western side of iran national sariel get some pretty big shout out of that and kuwait as well following through the sun comes back sass of it all then is probably a quanta time we've seen some pretty big showers recently in western saudi that are

one and two in the case in the red sea area but not many it's a quite a period warm thirty one thirty two around the gulf states maybe a little bit more humid than of late and again southern africa see some tremendously big showers recently particularly zimbabwe but also the eastern side of south africa the cloud is still there we could see a repeat performance but it does look rather quieter. arts.

top stories for you this hour on al-jazeera a month from the murder of jamal khashoggi and the u.s. is keeping up the pressure on saudi arabia warning those responsible will be held accountable those comments were from secretary of state mike on peo at the same time as details are emerging about the saudi hit squad that carried out the killing . thousands of iranians have been marking the thirty ninth anniversary of the u.s. embassy takeover just a day before u.s. sanctions are back in force in iran's leadership is playing down the u.s. move the commander of the revolutionary guard says teheran will resist any

sanctions. and any opposition leader has been sentenced to life in prison on charges of spying for qatar. was acquitted earlier this year but the decision has now been overturned he was sentenced along with two colleagues on charges relating to the unrest back in two thousand and eleven. women are expected to play a crucial role in the u.s. midterm elections on tuesday the president's attempts to curtail abortion rights and then more recently the appointment of a supreme court judge accused of sexual assault of angered a lot of people but we have to say there are those who still back donald trump and his republican party here is our white house correspondent kimberly halkett out and about in virginia today i can really. hi carol that's right well both sides are particularly motivated both democrats and republicans are actually at a phone bank when we talk about the grassroots effort to get out the vote here in virginia this is what we're talking about we're in a private home in great falls for ginia and way you can see behind me are

a lot of motivated people working the phones calling potential voters to try and get the vote out and as we've been talking about here in al jazeera well there are many that oppose the president's policies there are certainly many that do support but when you dive down deep into those numbers particularly when it comes to women well a third certainly do approve of the president eighty six percent of black women voters do not support the president and seventy two percent of hispanic female voters disapprove of the president here is a little bit of why. one day after donald trump was sworn in as president hundreds of thousands of women gathered in cities across the united states to protest almost two years have passed but the u.s. president has given them little reason to change their original judgment of a man many regard with revulsion his behavior and language at times has hardened

their views. after his aide omarosa manigault newman was ousted from the white house called her a crazed crying lowlife and a dog after congresswoman maxine waters encouraged her supporters to harass trump administration officials they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station called waters an extraordinarily low i.q. person. but nothing has polarized the country more along gender lines than the hearings for supreme court justice brett kavanaugh christine blas a forward accused trumps nominee of sexual assault when they were in high school truck cast doubt about her testimony mocking her recollection of the decades old event how did you get home i don't remember how did you get there i don't remember where is the place i don't remember how many years ago was it i don't know. toss attacks on women are nothing new and have been dismissed by his supporters ever

since the release of a video in two thousand and sixteen threatened to derail his campaign. structure shrugged off the controversy and won the white house even today well a majority of us women still disapprove of trump at least a third still solidly approve of trump's presidency but everybody makes mistakes like nobody's perfect. he's made his mistakes that everybody else is human hands i think he's a bully i do but i think you need someone like that in the office conservative women point to donald trump's historically low unemployment numbers that arise and wait. well in office they say his appointment of a female press secretary and a significant number of female filled cabinet posts prove c. supportive of women in the workplace still the battle for the female vote is intensifying republicans have released the sixty second advert aimed at winning over suburban college educated women voters clearly shows this demographic more than most is where conservative support is waning but notably trump never appears

in the advert it's a signal even republicans realize the president remains toxic to many voters and in the fight to hang on for control of congress conservatives can't afford to lose a single female vote so can you tell us a little bit more about why you're in virginia specifically what's important about the vote. you know what's really important about this particular district is this is one of the districts that democrats believe will signal what they call the blue wave in terms of taking control of congress trying to gain twenty three seats and this is a district where they hope that blue wave as they call it will take off and this is a district that's been held by a reform republican candidate that's been held by a republican for forty years democrats are hoping to change that that's why you see all of these folks behind me working the phones trying to get out the democratic vote want to talk

a little bit about trying to get that out the phone back of the effort because we always talk about the grassroots mona and this is mona malik she is a longtime democratic supporter organizer we always talk about grassroots effort talk about this effort what it looks like how long are people going to be making these calls and what are they trying to achieve absolutely so thank you for being here we've been. hosting these phone banks we are part of the american muslim community and mostly most of the people who are here with us today are part of that community and really we're just trying to do our part with get people together to encourage others to come out to vote particularly in the minority communities which don't turn out as often and unfortunately we've seen a lot of consequences of that in so many forms in this current you know with the current president and so really the goal is to get people to come out and vote get them to be engaged let's get them to learn about the issues and what people stand for and make their choice on tuesday and why do you feel hopeful that this being

a long time republican districts could go for a democratic candidate this time i think the democratic candidate has a really strong case just because the republican side has been so dead divisive i think that they've really done a lot to tear the community apart and to bring people. you know kind of making them like at odds and focusing on to say emphasizing all the things that separate than us rather. in focusing on the things of the commonalities and all the things we care about such as health care education transportation all these issues every person in northern virginia cares about on a malak we really appreciate you talking to us here on al-jazeera thanks for letting us come into your home today thank you so much and as mona was talking about there democrats are certainly trying to send a message the president is campaigning on davis of issues the president fact will be making five campaign stops in the next forty eight hours come out he will be talking about how democrats are slashing jobs will raise taxes and also using

immigration as an issue to divide americans this is something that democrats are pushing back on and this is an example of what you're seeing right here this is the grassroots effort the democrats hope will help them seize control of congress in the twenty three seats to do it and of course we'll be watching carefully here on al-jazeera on tuesday when those votes come in and here we were in great falls virginia today i think scheme of the united nations children's fund is calling on the saudi led coalition on the hutu rebels in yemen to allow aid deliveries to reach starving people the director of unicef says four hundred thousand children are at risk of dying due to lack of food and just a warning to sensitize report does contain some disturbing images the name amal means hope in arabic amal died on thursday at the age of seven the doctor who treated her says there are many more cases like has five month old ahmed abraham

a lot of people. the fact the cartels business continues doesn't mean that it chappell's heartland is free from violence the police remain on alert the homicide rate in sin a lower house full and but we're still talking about will them five murders and today i'm pleased specially in chappell's home minister polity. there are still problems. here some still remember him as robin hood like figure who help the local economy they're pulling for him in his upcoming trial. that hopefully they can help him hopefully he gets out he hasn't done anything wrong. he just worked in what he could do he's a good man now. but others didn't even realize he was going. to be honest they didn't know i hear them. a reminder that even for the rich and powerful the will of who choose to join home and now does it

a divided electorate what role will swing voters play especially women this is inside story. of the program i'm richelle carey it's the final stretch of the all important two thousand and eighteen u.s. midterm elections at the high end voter turnout could reach record numbers so far an early voting more than thirty million americans have cast their ballots but it's one group of voters it's expected to play a crucial role and that is female voters particularly white women many are outraged by the way president speaks about women and last month that anger turned to rage after the nomination of supreme court justice brett kavanaugh who was accused of sexual assault and now with all four hundred thirty five seats in the house of representatives up for grabs and thirty five of the one hundred senate seats the

midterms will certainly shape the final two years of trump's first term in office lots to discuss with our guests first white house correspondent kimberly hellcat has this report. one day after donald trump was sworn in as president hundreds of thousands of women gathered in cities across the united states to protest almost two years have passed but the u.s. president has given them little reason to change their original judgment of a man many regard with revulsion his behavior and language at times has hardened their views. after his aide omarosa manigault newman was ousted from the white house called her a crazed crying lowlife and a dog after congresswoman maxine waters encouraged her supporters to harass trump administration officials they're not going to be able to go to a restaurant they're not going to be able to stop at a gas station called water's an extraordinarily low i.q.

a bully i do but i think you need someone like that in the office conservative women point to donald trump's historically low unemployment numbers that arise and wait. well in office they say his appointment of a female press secretary and a significant number of female filled tapping a post proves he's supportive of women in the workplace still the battle for the female vote is intensifying republicans have released the sixty second advert aimed at winning over suburban college educated women voters only shows this demographic more than most is where conservative support is waning but notably trump never appears in the advert it's a signal even republicans realize the president remains toxic to many voters and in the fight to hang on for control of congress conservatives can't afford to lose a single female vote can really help get al-jazeera the white house.

let's introduce the panel and washington d.c. ashley pratt a board member for republican women for progress in atlanta georgia kara lerner political reporter with think progress covering voting and election rights and in birmingham in the u.k. scott lucas professor of political science and american studies at the university of birmingham welcome to all of you so let's just first of all we'll get to the issue with female voters in a moment first the number so far seem to be quite impressive for early voting actually what do you think is driving that. oh man i i think a lot of things you know a lot of people have asked me this question leading up to the elections who is more motivated is it republicans or is it democrats and i think it's honestly the trump factor here on both sides the you have the conservative base which is obviously very fired up to protect their status in the house and senate and they think that this referendum on trump's presidency just can't stand whereas democrats you know

this is then a huge issue for them they know that if they can retake power they can have a referendum on trump and i think that that's a huge deal so that is obviously a motivating factor for the democratic base as well but over twenty million people have already voted in early voting in states all across the country and i think the thing that's fascinating there too that i'd like to point out is that women in particular are the ones that are leading this early voting so in states like georgia florida texas tennessee over fifty three percent of women have already voted so that is a huge deal and i do think that women will turn out in huge numbers on election day as well just because of the rhetoric of this administration so i think there's a lot of things that are firing up both sides of the electorate and we will definitely come back to the rhetoric i'm glad you have brought that up actually first drew i want you i want your thoughts as well what do you think is driving these huge numbers. sure i went to polling places here in georgia on friday which was the last day of the early voting period and people were wrapped around the building waiting to cast

a ballot and they told me that this is not deal like any other midterm that they've experienced in the past there is way more at stake in this midterm here in georgia there's a candidate on the ballot for governor stacy abrams who stands to make history as the first black woman governor in the country and people in georgia i spoke with many women are fired up and feel like so much of that state here and they. want to play one million people have cast early ballots and put that in perspective in the last midterm only two point six million people total cast out including oust so we're poised to see a record turnout here and care i want to bring at you pointed out the historic nature of stacy abrams running for this particular position or not people feel something different is it a fair comparison to say that that's how some people felt about voting for barack obama simply because it was a historic thing to do you think that's a fair comparison it is i have talked about is in georgia who say that they have

not passed a ballot and obama was running for president so there's something about stacy a. large part of it is the fact that she does stand to make history in the same way that obama does but people are also talking about her policies abram's would expand medicaid here in georgia well republican brian kemp won it and for women across the state especially low income women of color that would make a huge difference in their lives they're talking about stacy abrams the positions on public education. so it's not just the fact that she is a black woman and would be the first they're looking at this race holistically scott i want your insight as well on what is driving this huge turnout and early voting oh i read without actually carol that it. it's a historic moment the most important u.s. midterms in history but i would go beyond saying it's a referendum on donald trump i think cura points out for example it's

a referendum on all the things it's a referendum on rights for people of color it's a referendum on education it's a referendum on health care it's a referendum on the economy i think we're trying to feeds into that is is that probably unlike any other president in history rather than trying to appeal for consensus in terms of the electoral tactics his advisors are very much going for a politics of division and that is us forces them and that type of heated language which i'm sure will discuss they're hoping it will attract some women who'll see some virtue in it but of course there's a lot of women who i think maybe put off by that and the question is how many of them along with how many young people how many people for minorities turn up not only in early voting but next tuesday to say this isn't the way we want to go the way that donald trump has portrayed america actually do represent republican women i mean you're on the board of republican women for progress do you agree with that assessment from scott that donald trump and some of the republicans are campaign campaigning on division yes and i would like to bring that up here so republican

women for progress i've actually opened a pac this year and what we've decided to do is to support female candidates who are moderate democrats who stand against trump's rhetoric and they're running against people who are basically rubber stamp trump republicans so here what we've decided to do is really take a stand against the rhetoric of this administration against women one that we think has been very degrading toward women back in two thousand and sixteen we took a stand against trump and said you know this is not symbolic of the republican party at all he is not going to be our standard bearer and we're a bunch of young women who say no more enough is enough and this is wrong and we're willing to put party aside for principle and to say if there is a moderate democrat out there who is a female who would be an awesome candidate she should have the chance to go up against this and she. you know that some republican women are behind her i have traditionally voted republican i do not plan to in this midterm election i actually registered as an independent after twenty sixteen just because i was so disgusted

by the future of the republican party i i do not think that it represents me as a young woman i think that it has really strayed from its core values of limited government freedom of speech and they've really embraced a very. i think extreme wing of the party and factionalized to the point of division words do matter actually when the president just continues destructive rhetoric let me ask you something about that because i don't i don't think a lot of people really understand how significant that is for someone to choose to vote for a candidate outside of their party that's not a small thing i think you know sometimes democrats. would wouldn't we didn't i don't think this always appreciate how a die hard that can be to switch party lines was that a difficult decision for your group to take this position you know we had a lot of conversations about it and we just decided we couldn't stand for what the republican party stood for anymore and you know while there are some republicans

that we do applaud here and there senator flake one of them lisa murkowski another one for taking stands against the administration most of them have been completely spineless and we're just deciding that we want to have spines and we want to remember this later on is a historic moment where republican women did speak out and speak up and say that enough is enough and we can't tolerate as a young woman this rhetoric to continue we can't do this for our daughters we can't do this for our sisters or for our friends and when we hear things like on that hate the hollywood access tape which i thought would have brought down his candidacy instead there were a lot of people who embraced it as just locker room talk and we all know that that is not ok and when you're talking again about your daughters your sisters and your friends or your coworkers you know that that type of rhetoric is not just something that is that in the locker room that is something that is pervasive in our culture and for a president to embrace that is a significant issue which is why then is being a relatively easy decision for us to say no more anough is enough now have people

in the public and in the media been scrutinizing us for this decision of course any my my twitter is often lit up with people who just are saying the most offensive and degrading things such as i shouldn't vote or i should get back in the kitchen i don't know what i'm talking about but i have to think at the end of the day that. this is something that i can support and believe and. she actually brought up the. access hollywood tape which. even when donald trump was elected he's continued that same type of language about women that same type of rhetoric about women as we saw in the storm story from can really help it win him the issue came up of brett kavanaugh. how have women how is their support for him either gotten gotten bigger or lessened as it's been clear that that's who he is when it comes to women. i mean access hollywood here it was just the beginning of the last two years which have had such a fundamental change in how women across this country do things like sexual

harassment and sexual assaults we've seen in the last two years the me to move movement burgeoning and women realizing that these things are not ok to speak about openly and i think that ministry of planning of politics we have women across the country who are talking about issues like this in ohio a woman rachel crux is running for the state legislature i'm she was one of the women who was harassed by trying so i think women are realizing that they can fight back in the ballot box when it comes to their frustration and anger at these powerful men thinking that they can get away with statements like trump's and i think we're going to see a lot of women like actually maybe flipping parties and voting for moderate democrats or even progressive democrats because this is such an important issue to them so what have we seen scott so she right she talked about the ballot box that is this seems to also be driving more women to actually run for office as well yes

but here i would be cautious not be absent the reactions from ashley here and that is are there women who are running on both sides of both republicans and democrats and it's refreshing to hear it's refreshing here actually talk about republican wonderful progress but there's also some women might think of marsha blackburn running for senate tennessee who are hard line trump supporters so it's a little bit of a diverse and also again to put about for their reaction you know i know this person from family and friends who are women who are diehard trump supporters who will come up with a standard of lines which basically is look look at hillary clinton look she was a very bad pad candidate how can we vote for her or who will try to excuse trump's behavior and it still remains a fact that i get the perception there's a generational divide that there's a lot. young women out there who are trending towards voting independent considering candidates for both parties but there are a lot of women especially elderly women of you know my parents' generation who

still are all in with no matter what you do so it's not just a generational divide let's let's get to the the crux of this there is a racial divide as well when we say women more often than not we're talking about white women white women supported trump in two thousand and sixteen it does seem that their support has lessened some but we're still talking about what limited his black and brown women their support for from his basically and the single digits. as she what do you make of that yes so i struggled with this one quite a bit because in twenty sixteen i had said frequently as an analyst and commentator that there was no way that women would be turning out for trump and i was very very wrong so i've been really careful going into this midterm election with the trends that i've been looking at and seeing when it comes to women just because it seems to be right now that the momentum is on the side of the democrats but again in two thousand and sixteen women were almost the deciding factor in that trump lection

and they were the surprise factor there i believe it was fifty three percent of women voted for donald trump though that if you were a little percent of white women who voted for donald trump right exactly so when we break it down more into obviously demographics that's where it gets tricky for me because i as a white woman as a young woman i know that i should apparently be voting independent or more progressive and i traditionally had fallen outside of that as a young republican but as this rhetoric has continued and i've been talking with more of people who are like me it seems as though it is going in the other direction so just based upon that alone i would say that this election will have an impact and will be different than in twenty sixteen but that generational divide is certainly true my home state of new hampshire a lot of the women there who are mothers who are older. have said to me that it's all about the economy and that they can put aside the stuff that trump is saying and doing even though they don't find him to be

a good role model for their kids because of his policies and that to me is just wrong and hypocritical because if you're going to go after hillary clinton and the clinton family regarding the monica lewinsky stuff or anything related to nepotism the same things are happening with commit trump administration so it almost seems disingenuous that republicans of an older generation especially those old the republican females are saying these things because if they look more closely what they'll realize in twenty twenty in these ads in these things that the president is saying and doing will be used against republicans for generations to come and you're either on the right or wrong side of history and that i think a lot of young women are recognizing you know you talked about the economy and the qana me in the in the u.s. does seem to be doing well but even having said that donald trump actually isn't talking a whole lot about that he's talking about a lot of other issues there's actually a quote that i pulled from a story in the new york times yesterday and it's it was talking to white female

voters and this woman said he wants to protect this country and he wants to keep it safe and he wants to keep it free of invaders in the caravan and everything else that's going on obviously talking about the rhetoric that donald trump has been using about the migrants who are trying to make their way to the u.s. . what is it about vet message in those words that donald trump is trying to convey to voters specifically why do you think it's resonating with some white women. trump knows what his base wants to hear and it's words like bad about the caravan that are rallying to his base these are people who voted for him in twenty sixteen because of his rhetoric about illegal immigrants and building the wall and he's just continuing on that same narrative whether or not the claims he's making are true he seems to care less but he knows that if he enters these white women and men about issues of immigration that it will drive them to the ballot box and to

compete with some of these democrats who are turning out in record numbers and also know that i actually was talking about the generational divide when it comes to white women and i think it's also important to realize that this is also a geographic olds of by i'm in atlanta right now where in some of the suburbs around here white women are white women who either voted for trump in twenty sixteen or supported hillary so that there's no way that they would vote for a public cannot have any level of the ballot in this race but in a few hours i'm going to try just an hour or two south to macon georgia where trump is having a rally with and there are undoubtedly going to be hundreds if not thousands of white women there standing behind the president so i think you have to look at the geographical divide across this country so look at what are the difference in issues that. a white female voter cares about as opposed to a female voter of color some things overlap obviously but but those are two very

distinct types of voters. in a sense i would come back at the inside look at what's actually more interesting is that the issues that are there actually should unite and should be a white versus bloc issue when you talk about the key issue of health care for example when you talk about the issue of education when you talk about the economy which in fact the trump campaign is really only continuing the progress under obama and where it goes next year with the future of the tax cut. in the federal debt that's going to huge those are issues which tend to unite what i find more interesting is the way that the divisive language might play with different groups of women and here i'd come back to immigration is possibly the key issue and that is trump and his advisors like steven miller have obviously gamble that this is the one issue they can use to get a republican victory so does that issue of immigrants as invaders or immigrants as terrorist which has been used in the past week or jews financing terrorist do white

women respond differently to that dog whistle politics the people of color and will that make a difference next tuesday that's where i'd be looking at the dividing line or one in fact which actually is mythical and it's the uniting issues that will be more important i think that's a good way to wrap this up this question going to put to you actually i like what what scott is saying is to focus on what are the uniting issues do you think that the candidates out there that can figure out the issues that obviously that unite voters clearly but if they can get on what unites female voters were garbus of race that they might be on to something. they might be but i feel maybe a little jaded by all of this and i guess that's the sad reality of the situation i'm going to point back to something that senator flake actually said when he decided that he was going to vote no in order to allow for there to be an investigation in the cabin a kind of scandals that we were seeing into the the investigation piece when he did

that he came out and said had i not been up for you know retirement and decided to walk away from politics i wouldn't have been able to do that because there is so much pressure on people really that are republican or democrat on either side of the political spectrum once you're in office to hold the party line and to not step out of that line so that's honestly the state of american politics now where you can even vote or do something in your conscience or do something that you believe is unifying or that were healed the country because you know that you will not win your re-election bid so i hope that that's the direction that american politics moves but it scares me that that is the reality of the situation today where people don't feel like they can vote outside of their party or do the right thing because they're afraid of the electoral consequences of that but i think that more young people like myself are looking for more of a bipartisan solution to thing when it comes to policy or when it comes to decisions that are being made and legislated and hoping that people can work across

the aisle because that's what democracy is and that is what american politics was meant to do and it was designed to be a conversation among people that could represent all people not just the base of each party actually that was a pretty good unifying message i think we can all understand why you're a little skeptical if we'll all get there at some point but that was a really great unifying message and i appreciate the conversation from all of you all and i want to see what happens on tuesday thank you so much ashley pratt joining us from washington d.c. with republican member for congress carol lerner and atlanta georgia with think progress and birmingham not birmingham alabama birmingham u.k. scotland because professor opal tickle science and american studies thank you all three for the conversation we appreciate it. and thank you for watching for you can see the program again any time if you go to our website al-jazeera or the discussion at our facebook page that's facebook dot com for its last a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter our handle is at a.j.

this is al jazeera. hello once again from. the maria and this is the news hour from al-jazeera. we will hold all of those responsible for the murder of show you. the warning from the u.s. to saudi arabia as more details emerge of how journalist jamal khashoggi was killed . the day before the u.s. reinstates economic sanctions against iranians send a defiant message to the white house. i think he's a bully i do but i think you need something like that in the. just days before critical midterm elections in the u.s. and women remain split over their support for president trump and why the united nations says the child is dying every ten minutes in yemen. and i'm lee harvey with all the support and

a major upset for the tennis world number one as an underdog steals the show and the time and. the. saudi journalist jamal khashoggi was murdered dismembered and his body put into five suitcases that is the latest information on this murder published in the pro-government turkish newspaper the daily it says the suitcases with him driven to the saudi consul general's residence near the consulate where he was killed on october second according to turkey the murder was carried out by the fifteen men member saudi hit squad some of the suspects have close ties to the crown prince mohammed bin solomon and in the last few hours the u.s. secretary of state has reiterated its plans to hold people responsible for the killings also remember turkey's president reject time better one. said he believes

the order to kill kushal which he came from the highest levels of the saudi government. he has that same covering events at the moment in saudi sorry outside the saudi consulate in istanbul we'll be with you shortly with pretends the in washington d.c. more on those comments from sectors that might compare yes it was a restatement of the administration line that we've heard several times before might bump air appearing on several of the sunday political talk shows saying look yes we're interested in accountability but almost in the same breath constantly emphasizing just how important saudi arabia is to the trumpet ministrations foreign policy goals the saudis have acknowledged that this was a premeditated attack the facts that we are fighting still are unfolding we're still working diligently on that we talk with folks from turkey and saudi arabia nearly every day to continue those efforts we've begun to hold some officials accountable we've revoked pieces from sixteen individuals that we have been able to

identify so far the war in fact connected to that we'll continue to do that and as i said that day when i return we will hold all of those responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi accountable and we will do that chris at the same time while ensuring that the strategic relationship between the united states and the kingdom of saudi arabia one that has a great impact on the issue we just spoke about the capacity to deny the world's largest state sponsor of terror the ability to threaten american israel we will continue to work to maintain that important strategic relationship or holding accountable those responsible for this atrocious death which makes you want to see what holding accountable means when he is so clear about securing the tights the relationship with saudi arabia. right we've had several reports in recent days that yes there was a wish to go to the highest levels of the saudi administration but various ideas were batted around for example getting trying to get king solomon to dilute the

powers of the crown prince mohammed bin solomon for example but these have now been rejected as unworkable impossible in an absolutist maalik strategic relationship has to come first particularly at a time when the new round of iranian sanctions are about to kick in on monday the u.s. is globally isolated on that particular issue for example so accountability it would seem from what we hear means the congressional and administration process that's already underway congress the administration under the magnitsky act to begin to investigation into the khashoggi murder the white house and the administration will have to come back with whom it deems responsible sanctions will then probably be instituted by congress on those people that's probably about it. in the meantime there is some talk some chatter we've heard in d.c. well maybe this means moment been some of the crown prince driving saudi policy is somehow damaged or maybe we have more leverage over him as regards the war in yemen

or the blockade of that still it's unclear as to how far the white house would ever go to really pressure saudi arabia congress meanwhile there is some energy on yemen on weapons sales arms sales if the democrats do do particularly well on tuesday perhaps we'll see more movement there but as far as the administration concerned is the picture that we're getting is look they just want all of this to go away. sheraton's he's in washington thank you and in istanbul of course hash hash and take us through all this new information that's come out on sunday some of it it's pretty unpleasant to hear. come out from a shoney's emerging giving us more details about the final moments of the we know from turkish security sources that the moment jamal hushes body was dismembered three key players in the death squads were scrambling to get a hold of his. mobile phone and there was some as you signed this saga consular

the very you can see behind me everyone trying to look for their mobile phone of. maybe they were looking for crucial information but we know also the same time that over the last two years saudi arabian government was very concerned about the outspoken sardi critics who are sort of excited in different parts of the world and they were trying to convince them to come back home sometimes they were arresting some of their. family members in riyadh to be able to force them to travel back now what the saudi death squad did not know was that before he got into the building as he handed over to mobile phones to his fiance had the. and when this sandy a prosecutor. was here in turkey talking to the turkish investigators about cooperation he asked specifically about that mobile phone of the month at

request which was denied by the turkish government has this sort of news coming out through the media of course as well as the pressure we see coming from president as well on saudi arabia think it's actually making any sort of difference at the moment. well come out as you know. turkey knows a great deal of information about the final moments of. they seem to be very confident they have they know exactly what happened and they know about some of the phone call conversations between the different members of the death squad now they're waiting for more clarity about the whereabouts of the remains of the body is saying that the body was dismembered here and then taken in five six cases to

this. consuls residence where it was destroyed the reason why they are now going on the off chance of against the saudi government is for the saudi government to give them more details about the remains and this is why you know over the last seventy two hours we've seen the turkish president the minister of justice and see a members of the ruling party putting more pressure on king said than been absolved these himself saying that this is a man who should tell the world who gave the order to kill. and the whereabouts of a real base there's going to be this crucial meeting between president trump and president as are done in paris on the tenth of november and i think against the backdrop of that meeting we would be able to gauge just sense of the next step by the turkish government thank you in istanbul. so the news in less than twelve hours the u.s. will re-impose economic sanctions on iran all measures lifted on the twenty fifty nuclear deal are coming back despite teheran's compliance with the agreement it is

a move that has triggered anger in iran as same bus ravi reports but i'm sure you're not having any common ground there may have been between iran and america seems to have been lost at a rally to mark the thirty ninth anniversary of the takeover of the u.s. embassy iranians express their anger and frustration at a country they blame for their continued economic isolation i was. was i was there was also the familiar contempt that has come to define iran's relationship with the united states the country's top soldier said economic warfare america's last attempt to defeat iran is not going to work and war u.s. president donald trump not to try anything else. even i want to say something to america and it's weird president never threaten iran because we can still hear the horrified cries of your soldiers in the desert and you know better every day how many of your old soldiers in america commit

suicide due to depression and fear that they suffered in battlefield so don't threaten us militarily and don't frighten us with military threats u.s. sanctions meant to punish iran have devastated the country's economy in the last year trump has said it's going to get worse but iranians at this rally seemed more angry than afraid one difference between the old sanctions and new ones is that this time these protesters are not alone in condemning the united states in the past iran had a weaker economy when it was hit by international sanctions mandated by the united nations now this time iran has a lot more support from world leaders has a relatively stronger economy and is only facing what many iranians are calling trumps sanctions. once a symbol of american influence in the region the old embassy in the heart of the capital is now little more than a relic left standing only as a reminder for iranians to remain vigilant. my message to america is that many of

their previous presidents also threatened us a lot in the now and their options on the table but nothing happens as our supreme leader said we're seeing signs of america's decline for. friendship with america's impossible it's like a friendship between a sheep and a wolf i don't even know you don't i'm telling you even in the era of the shah america was our enemy the sharjah didn't realize it and the enemy is always in him an american if a compromise is with iran and iran will also never bow down to it diplomats and negotiators spent years paving the way for the two thousand and fifteen nuclear deal after trouble came to power the goodwill they built crumbled in a matter of months even earn his own side show at this year's rally whether iran chooses to remain committed to the nuclear deal or not the next american president may not be able to fix what donald trump has broken.

all successive u.s. presidents have used sanctions to try to contain iran ever since the western backed shah was overthrown back in one nine hundred seventy nine first you have jimmy carter banned iranian imports and froze assets worth billions of dollars over the high.
