6:49 pm
you're watching the news hour live from headquarters and. coming up in the next sixty minutes the u.n. examines saudi arabia's human rights record as more questions are raised over the kingdom's involvement in the murder of journalist. defiance from iran as the u.s. reinstates all three nuclear deal sanctions hassan rowhani vows to continue selling its oil thousands of sri lankans march in support of newly appointed prime minister mahinda rajapaksa as the political crisis deepens over his nomination a paper trail accusations that millions of americans are being denied the right to vote in the midterm elections i'm joined again with the sports from the ring to the octagon box of floyd mayweather announces he'll fight a japanese mixed martial arts style we'll explore how cold crossovers becoming big business.
6:50 pm
hello the un's human rights council is reviewing the actions of saudi arabia and its record on human rights a saudi delegation is in geneva right now to face questions over the murder of. a mall and other rights issues and addressing the council delegation restated the kingdom's position that it's investigating the case and will prosecute those responsible for the killing the president of saudi arabia's human rights commission had addressed the council here's what he had to say animal. kingdom of saudi arabia has already. it's really good and for the death of america short was going around in a season i was already instructed the prosecution to proceed with the investigation into this case according to. a couple laws and preparation to reaching all the
6:51 pm
facts and bringing more the perpetrators to justice in order to win the facts to live probably. paul brennan his joining us from geneva so that was the saudi delegation kind of responding paul but what sort of questions have been asked of them in relation to the case of the murder. it's been a combination of questions i suppose in some ways it's predictably part is that the tone of some of the questions down for example algeria effectively patted saudi arabia on the back for the progress that they said the saudi arabia had made for example under the crown prince's vision twenty thirty scheme in relation to passing laws which they say upholds human rights but those are. not universal put it that way this is going to be a real grilling for saudi arabia the session is ongoing in the room over my shoulder room twenty here at the united nations in geneva the questions that have
6:52 pm
been submitted in advance for example the united kingdom has submitted a question saying how can it possibly be that the murder of jamal for shoji can be in any way compliant with human rights and how does it sit with the saudi law and the that they're going to speak shortly but we've already heard from the australian let's let's hear sally mansfield. a stranger deplores the killing of jamal khashoggi reports that the killing was premeditated a deeply alarming astray recommend saudi arabia fully cooperate with investigations related to the killing of krishnaji implements legislation that holds to account government officials who. breach the no and takes further measures to guarantee freedom of opinion and expression well no doubt paul that the house of the murder is in the spotlight there but what other issues are being discussed. all kinds of issues i mean like i say the submissions that have been made to this working group
6:53 pm
depend very much on the perspective that you're coming at they start with the basis of a national report from saudi arabia where it outlines areas which it says it is make progress on such as for example passing various world decrees the ability that women have now to drive in saudi arabia but there are other reports that are submitted in advance of this which are being examined very closely indeed both from committees of the united nations various committees which deplore for example a doubling in the numbers of executions in saudi arabia between twenty thirteen and twenty fifteen the fact that there's no law on free assembly that protects the right to free assembly that is in this very there's a report also from various n.g.o.s and non-governmental groups which talks about the fact that children are found guilty of crimes and are stoned. have amputations and are even sentenced to death for nonviolent crimes so yeah saudi arabia says that it's very keen to uphold human rights within the prism of islamic sharia law
6:54 pm

came from and this is echoing really what the turkish president has said a few days back when he asserted that that would go to the very top it wouldn't involve king solomon and he didn't in actually in actual fact use the name of the crown prince mohammed bin sound man but there was a clear implication that he was a major suspect now what was also said was a reference to a report that. body could have been a doused in acid to try to dispose of the remains the assertion is that there had been a cutting of the body at the consulate here before it was transported environs with three main players in the hit team to the consulate where apparently we're now hearing in a separate leak from the given to the south by pro-government newspaper the.

three key figures sorry two key figures in the search team which arrived in istanbul on the eleventh of october and that's nine days after the murder these two men one was a toxicologist according to the newspaper the other was a chemical expert and now these two men were part of the search team the official search team but they were according to the newspaper and their lead they were involved in a cover up if you will a clearance operation to dispose of the body. now there is no evidence quoted in this report there is no specifics but there is a clear was on the subway newspaper has been the main source of leaks during this whole investigation this whole crisis and so really right now turkey is pressuring the united states and indeed saudi arabia to come up with more information on where
