in yemen using children and human as human shields. above all implanting landmines across the country. to engage in the political process respond to the will of the international community to put an end to this war and above all ending that they have initiated again as the legitimate government in yemen it was a war of necessity not of the choice of the saudi arabia had been had. hold for such war wrapped. we have for the gulf initiative where transit period was seen by a man including the late dr. power vested in the hands of the president had to work with our brothers in the yemen so that they were able to come up with the find the outcomes of the national dialogue they were that very close to

drafting. their constitution at that time the hopes the militias advanced to seize. the state institutions and now they are in prison of jet fighters and ballistic missiles the alleged government of yemen sought help and saudi arabia and the coalition under article fifty one of the un charter responded and extended support. to restore legitimacy from day one we stated that it is nothing but the diplomatic political solution that will guarantee there is today sion of legitimacy in yemen and read them the repercussions of the coup again we support the peaceful solution of yemen we support the end diverse and efforts of the un envoy and we are committed to. providing all forms of him an

italian a to our brothers in yemen and i am of all we will also work on the after math and after war i mean that the building of human. a. lot of stuff and i have a question based on what you know so far can the saudi government say that it conclusively exonerates the crown prince of any involvement in the murder of mr kushner ji and second about. the six shots that were fired are among the twenty one people who have been detained on custody now pending their conclusion of the investigation on the first question absolutely absolutely because one hundred has nothing to do with this issue. in fact the national security adviser in the u.s. said this. this was a rogue operation we have a better sense of what happened this close individuals exceeding their authority

and going beyond their mandate and these individuals made a tremendous mistake with this mistake they will pay a price and their cases are now in the court system with regards to the issue of individuals who has been charged and who has been referred to the courts and who has been detained i would like to leave that to the public prosecutor. so i'll. assume happens if they want to it's not like. i don't want to know what i have to western sort of the qatari and third media. started detailing the murder before. and best to get it out completed that this suggests that our concert has been bugged tabbed by both qatar and turkey and if so what measures will it take. second question in

a few days ago the french president said that the turkish president is exercising a political game in this case to respect to the media of turkey and qatar we believe that was targeting. fair osha's media campaign and it is unfortunate and it is regretful to see that this murder be handled in such a fashion that is a murder that should be handled. by the judiciary and those proven this possible will be penalized according to the saudi law what it is unfortunate to see the murder being politicized for that i tend to create a sense of. if anybody is imposition of certain pieces of evidence or facts that would help then vista they are invited to provide them to

our judiciary and this is what we have been asking for from day one. and with respect to the. reasons behind these policies or certain statements i leave this matter to those who had made the statement or abducted these policies once again i reiterate that cooperation and collaboration is the best means it is through collaboration that we will be able to bring together as united all the muslim countries it is through collaboration and cooperation we will be able to establish facts and stablished reality and truth at the earliest possible time and this is what we are working to words. darting accusation without any basis is totally rejected and on acceptable. the king's them reject. this. we committed. to take its course and

have the better potatoes and those. penalize i guess investigations are still under way many. and that's why you would hope that the federal brothers. would be kind enough to provide whatever pieces of evidence or information in their position that would be finalized then basically think you. saudi arabia's foreign minister speaking in riyadh on the murder of journalist. in the saudi arabian consulate in istanbul saying this is now a legal case and it should not be politicized that's after the public prosecutor said it would seek the death penalty for five suspects odds are bad also said that there are still an answered questions and ankara has refused three requests from

riyadh to provide proof of their accounts off the killing so that is a little bit of a bit of i have to say just a few moments ago and when asked about the lead to a possible involvement of the crown prince in the killing. said the crown prince has absolutely nothing to do with the murder case let's bring in jim he has followed this story for us since it broke in october he is joining us from istanbul he seemed to come out very defiant. indeed essentially it's the one the one kind of three these they are the denial deflection i'm doubling down on the position of saudi arabia that's the approach that's the foreign minister chose to take the nile dot com prince mohammed bin simon had anything to do with it denial that it was something that was ordered by the government or by this stage or that it was premeditated to assassinate saddam out official key then to deflect deflect attention saying oh well you know iran does

this other countries are the ones who do it we're not the web site europe is not a country that goes off the people rose up embassies deflecting almost kind of in a positive way to the church to try and lure them that this shouldn't be politicized that we are here to unites the muslim world this how do you arabian psyche should not allow for this to essentially quote some sort of reference some divisions between us as if it were a third party that's killed the saudis themselves claiming almost hinting that this is some sort of a conspiracy essentially to be stabilized saudi arabia deflecting also by reminding the united states that saudi arabia is a source of fighting or combating as he claims terrorism and experience and extremism reminding the international community maybe about you know all you on the economy and the stability that riyadh has to offer so there was that deflection and then obviously doubling down here on solid his stance which is that this is a saudi man so he said that this is not sort of something for for people to get

involved with claiming that these were saudi operatives who called the saudi citizen in a saudi consulates obviously not mentioning the fact that they flew in a turkish airports they brought in weapons through customs this was in istanbul they allegedly use a tarkas collaborator and so forth so now he's trying to say that people have no right to interfere in domestic issues but obviously something that sparks will come contest quite strongly all right jamal thank you and speaking of turkey turkey's foreign minister responded to the saudi an ounce made by the prosecutor's office earlier. i don't find some of the remarks made convincing or satisfying they are saying that the person was killed because he resisted being taken back to his country but as we have said before this was a premeditated murder and also as we know the remains of the person were count to pieces and the prosecutor has meets in this we already knew this but the

dismemberment of the body was not a spontaneous event suit an individuals and devices were brought here to this country in advance the fifteen people who came to to he should be tried in accordance with turkish law because according to the the you know convention the turkish law is equitable in this case even if the murder took place and the saudi consulate in istanbul sent in first of all those joining us from ankara so we just heard from the saudi foreign minister auditors are bad and he specifically said that riyadh has asked turkey to provide information and proof three times but they have not provided it one wonders what turkey's response is going to be to that claim. well that's the first response came from turkish foreign minister as you have aired earlier but of course a tough for a tougher statement is expected from prisons are down who has been a personal defender of this case the saudi foreign minister to bear has been has

said in his speech that this case should not be politicized however when prisons are gone made his first speech gave his first speech in the turkish parliament on october twenty three he said that this is a political murders so that's why he believes actually turkish authorities believe that international n.g.o.s international public should be involved in the investigation and that's how turkey's foreign minister made a cold last night saying that now it turns out that we come to a point where an international investigation has become a must in this case rhetorical is changing every day as our friends have been xplain ing but the turks turks one complaint from the turks has been that they are asking some information from turkey but it is not requested in an official way however the saudis are not sharing any evidence or any testimony from riyadh. because of all glue thank you let's speak to him and he is

a saudi dissident he's also the director of the gulf affairs institute who's joining us on skype from washington d.c. thanks for speaking to us let me get your reaction to the specific comments that were made by either one of which is riyadh considers the murder as a crime and a big mistake and he also says that the kingdom has said right from the beginning whoever participated in the customs the crime will be investigated and tried. statements are. taken seriously you know resents the people who used to for doing. so i would know. this were seriously. kind of a person of this matter and the saudi investigation cannot. come to so that's why the turkish call for an international investigation is. the only

option here. no one trusts the saudi government because you very clearly did change their story many times in this case and because they are a huge it's impossible to accept this division into. they have committed so again it's a job and it is not the credible and this is not the first time. so you don't buy it when he says that this is now a legal case in saudi arabia and that he as well as others refuse any attempt to politicize it the saudi justice system or the court system is not independent of the government it's not a system and i haven't thought about this extensively the saudi. court system does not meet the minimum standards for transparency or rule of law so it's there's no way you can try this case in saudi arabia because i'm not

the mccann is. and the independents to do it terms of investigating it all or so i in the case and you speak to us from washington d.c. what do you expect the american reaction to be to the developments of of today when we heard from the saudi prosecutor's office and then we heard a reaction from the turkish foreign minister to that saudi investigation a knowledge of it is coming out and speaking. i think it's a very clear indicator that what we're going to see in the next week or so. there will be then one who was peddling this story they did the saudis played it game but now is to get out there in front of cameras and to talk about it and to basically pin this crime on marginal actors. and this is by the way those people even if they were convicted the fact that they will be punished is. completely

uncertain because you're talking about twenty year period before me and punishment is carried out. due to the age of the children of russia which the. the u.s. administration the action to this will be a very typical american reaction where they were concerned by the end they will not carry on any action reaction to go ask them how many months the perpetrators of this. might we thank you for joining us on al-jazeera. still ahead in just a moment political chaos in sri lanka as the constitutional crisis brings from politicians to blow us.

eighty five years we've had many proud moments around the world and in the sky now starting from october twenty ninth church ish airlines will be taking off from the new radiation center of the world for a new journey. we got lots of wet weather to come full sun from southern parts of china right over the next couple of days also cloud around here it is in the process of thickening up in the process too of making its way further south so for friday plenty of right around should stay dry for hong kong on friday make the most of that this is sinking further south with so that wet weather will set in across a good parts of southern china as we go on into sas day dry weather comes across vietnam but we have got some wet weather into india china over towards me and ma through laos we got some wet weather now affecting

a good part of the east and in the this is the area cloud and rain this is a cycle that's going to make its way to the south of chennai right for time and not do as we go on through the next twenty four to thirty six hours so that's a position of the storm as we go through friday wet and windy weather coming through here it will weaken of course as it comes from but some toric amounts of rainfall some parts could see in excess of two hundred millimeters of right before it punches its way back out into southern areas of the arabian sea found a north arrow. the pushing right up across many central parts of india over towards bangladesh to the north of that it's generally dry but more small for new delhi.

although again you're with here is a reminder off the top story this hour saudi arabia is seeking the death penalty for five people accused of carrying out the murder of journalist. the deputy prosecutor said the crown prince mohammed bin man was not implicated in the killing he says the team was sent to istanbul to persuade you to return to riyadh and he was killed by lethal injection when he refused. now the u.k. prime minister to resign may has been grilled at the house of commons overdraft deal that she and her cabinet have agreed to two cabinet missed ministers have resigned including secretary. mr speaker the choice is clear we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no bricks. and we can.

or we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated paul brennan following the story joining us from london how much of this is now a real crisis for tourism a. i think it is a real crisis for theresa may the wheels are emotional ready for a no confidence motion in her leadership letters that have been submitted to the conservative party backbench group the one hundred twenty two committee which if they reach forty eight letters confirmed would trigger a no confidence motion now there's no guarantee that they would subsequently win a no confidence vote that would follow on from that but the very fact that there is that level of disquiet is a real blow to the prime minister who only just twelve sixteen hours ago came out and said she had the collective backing of her government ministers in the cabinet

to pursue this bracks a deal that had been negotiated we've lost six members of the government so far today as you say two of them a cabinet minister level including the press secretary and that session that you had a clip of from parliaments a three hour session was bruising towards the prime minister i mean she's been praised but in the in the chamber that professionalism her dedication but it was an hour into that session before anybody said anything good about this deal that she's come back with and she's in a real she's in a really bad place at the moment and yes it is it is a crisis for her all right thank you to the editor of politics. joining us from london. are people going to be voting again in a general election i mean is may's position herself in jeopardy right now. opposition is different in germany were a few stages away from general election but thing is we're going to see whether she can survive these that says that now being sent by conservative m.p.'s if she

manages to survive that process which is in no way guaranteed she did and she put it in front of parliament now at the moment there's no way parliament going to vote for the deal i mean she's not getting support from anywhere she's managed to find the sort of no man's land of splitting the u.k. away from the e.u. so much that remain as and soft boxes will never accept it and yet still keeping it from the mentally within a sort of ecosystem for tyrants and upsets the brits so there's no support there in parliament what happens when this thing falls down and that is something that we don't really know the answer to could be a general election it could be another referendum see if there was another result it could be no deal which is a much twenty nine person leaves the european union with no deal with nothing in place and that would be a really rather apocalyptic situation to be dealing with is there even when you to a meeting that makes a swell brussels on november the twenty fifth as scheduled. may be in the things that they'll put out from brussels as i did today was unless there

are exceptional circumstances this meeting will go ahead i mean you have to sort of define the word exceptional when you look at what is going down in westminster right now it does look rather exceptional and it's quite possible the prime minister won't be there if she goes did this pretty much dead and there was no reason for that meeting to go ahead what is their reaction to the resignation of six members of the government and not just today including the bracks that minister himself. it's kind of extraordinary i mean the birds have been as this seems to be resigning over a deal that he supposedly negotiated so there is a sort of a level of irresponsibility i have to say from the brits as in government which has now reached the staggering proportions. they constantly came up with this sort of dreamlike vision of britain outside of the e.u. set free from the shackles of continental regulation in the light whenever that dream has met reality the bruising reality of this much stronger trading partner oppose any type timescale and

a series of simple sort of trade laws and trade realities which which limit what you can do they have tended to throw their toys out the pram and this has been a case in point don't rob the current secretary just resign photoed from david davis the secretary who resigned before that so over and over again what we see is when the brits and supporters in government actually meet the reality of what it is that they are proposing they suddenly resign and that does not bode well for the rest of the project and you were mentioning the possibility of a second referendum just a moment ago realistically how likely is that and is there appetite for that to go ahead it's like it's unlikely but it is possible and right now i'd say for be more likely than it has been a fool. out of any maze deal was the compromise proposal now it wasn't a very good compromise pretty ugly stuff frankly but it was a compromise proposal as that who is down the extremes of the debate rise on either side and the extremes are no deal on the back side or people who vote second

referendum on the remains side and it would have to be one of those two options maybe a general election and these are the kind of things that somebody come into play so at the moment look i think it's unlikely but it becomes more more likely with each passing day all right we thank you for joining us from london. now the speaker of sri lanka's parliament says the country doesn't have a legitimate prime minister or government and he's backing appointed prime minister mahinda rajapaksa fought with supporters of his sacked criticise are right no word from a single parliament passed a no confidence motion on wednesday to remove the former president rajapaksa and his cabinet bernard smith has more from colombo it's difficult to know who's in charge of sri lanka at the moment the speaker of parliament says there is no prime minister there is no cabinet after the vote of no confidence was passed on wednesday in mahinda rajapaksa and his administration of rajapaksa says i am still prime minister i was appointed by the president and those stresses of resulted in

the scenes on the floor of parliament on the floor of the chamber m.p.'s supporters of rajapaksa tried again to stop a vote being taken on who should be prime minister they refused to accept wednesday's vote they said it should be a written vote this because otherwise have a vote today but then rajapaksa supporters refused to allow it to go ahead all of this of course having an effect on shoreline peace economy the rupee falling to its lowest level ever against the us dollar as investors take fright at the political instability and pull for foreign capital out of the country bangladesh to suspend the plans to start repatriating road hinge or refugees to me and mar officials say they were unable to find anyone who was willing to go earlier on thursday thousands of protested in refugee camps in bangladesh many don't want to go back to because of safety fears mohammed jhoom is following this story joining us from cox's bazaar so is this a temporary suspension how much or what's going on. it

looks as though this is simply a temporary suspension because we've heard some somewhat contradictory statements coming from different quarters of the government here on the one hand you have an official announcement that has finally been made after hours of waiting today confirming what we thought was going to happen all along which is that this repatriation plan which was supposed to begin today with was supposed to see as many as four hundred eighty five families returning to me and mark that that has been delayed but at the same time we are being told that he any refugees who wants to return voluntarily can do so there are officials with the row hinge on relief and repatriation commission that are saying that in essence a mechanism has now been set up by which will hinder refugees who would like to

return to me and more can do so we don't yet know what form that has taken and what steps refugees would have to take in order to do that what i can tell you though is that every row hinge or refugee we. asked you who has told us that they are on that list to potentially be repatriated they have said that they do not want to turn but they are afraid for their safety that their citizenship rights aren't guaranteed and that they would not even consider going back until they thought that they could actually live back in me and more in some form of peace and security earlier today we witnessed that gathering thousands of marines are refugees in the camp where a press conference was to take place in which an announcement was going to be made by bangladesh officials well the press conference didn't happen we think part of the reason was because there were so many refugees protesting about what was going

on demanding their rights really absolute the international community to support them and to involve the international criminal court in seeking justice on their behalf for the atrocities that were committed against them by the government of myanmar in two thousand and seventeen. and mohamed you know there there is this talk of them possibly returning it to me and you're saying that they tell you they would not want to go back to me and maher but what about the conditions that they are housed the now in places like lux's bazaar where you are. chins in cox's bazar are dire they have been for a long time they are much improved from where they were a year ago but it's still quite bad the sanitation is not good really living in some of our conditions and that's also cause the concern every relief worker that we speak with here says more needs to be done in order to also guarantee the safety of their him to refugees who are here now the same workers say that bangladesh has

been very generous to how the seven hundred thousand marines are refugees that have fled in the past year but that the international community needs to step up donate more money to make sure that these people have their basic needs met gary writes i'm home and i'm doing thank you. now if you know because former deputy intelligence chief has been arrested as part of a corruption crackdown by the new government his arrest comes after the chief executive of. the that's a military run private security corporation was caught on tuesday near this near sudan and eritrea border is trying to flee. prime minister promised to weed out corrupt government officials when he came to power in april since monday more than sixty top army. personnel have been arrested some have been accused of ordering a grenade attack on. hundreds of central american migrants traveling in a caravan have reached the us border the asylum seekers gathered at the wall near
