1:37 am
act which was established by a letter from the senate to president trump about a month ago asking that the global minutes be be invoked in this particular case what that is is an act that provides for global to come to billet for any human rights atrocities so now what you have is these sanctions imposed on the seventeen individuals in terms of the global magnitsky act it means that any funds that they might have in the u.s. will be frozen that means to that no u.s. citizen will be allowed to do any financial dealings with these men and republican senator rand paul has said the saudi crown prince at least knew about the killing if not ordered it what can you tell us about that well indeed yes he reiterated those comments in an interview with a u.s. network saying that at the very least the crown prince knew about it and probably
1:38 am
ordered it but significant that senator rand paul is not alone in contending this we've also heard in the course of the day from senator bob corker corker who says the journalist was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia and it's a bipartisan issue this from democrat senator. ben cardin who says i remain concerned that the administration is enabling the kingdom of saudi arabia in its effort to protect crown prince muhammad to bin solomon from accountability so certainly very strong comments coming from congress the general opinion among senators and those within the house adamant that while these sanctions are to be welcomed they do not go for far enough and in particular many senators are pushing for the crown prince himself to be included in the list of those being held accountable mike hanna thank you very much. has followed this story for us since it

broke six weeks ago he's at the saudi consulate in istanbul and says the turks remain very unhappy with the saudi arabian explanation for the murder of. the foreign minister has pointed to numerous holes in the latest narrative that's come from saudi arabia not least when it comes to this idea that the hit squad that was sent was only sent to istanbul to extract jamal khashoggi either willingly or against his role the question as to why then there were tools present at the time that are used to dismember a body why there was a specialist who was stream lee experienced and being able to dismember a body so quickly why there was a body double and so many other inconsistency is in the saudi narrative now the turkish approach from the beginning of this case has been to slowly and gradually leak different information different evidences that they're investigation in

a bid to try and strongly encourage or force the saudis to be more forthcoming but also to build an international consensus and that's why the share that information with washington with london with berlin paris on the other significant players however it seems that they are also growing a bit frustrated or maybe that they are a bit disappointed in the maybe lack of strength in the position of those countries in ensuring that justice is served namely demanding that the saudis own up to who gave the order because they believe in an absolute monarchy there is no way that crown prince mohammed bin saddam on the de facto leader of saudi arabia wouldn't have at least known of this operation if not or did it himself which means that the next step most likely for the charts and if you did this to this already through their foreign minister is that they will seek an international investigation whether that's through the united nations or the international criminal court we're not quite sure i mean if the international other rights groups have said that cannot should not only pursue this but it is turkey's obligation to do so in order

1:42 am
little support to be found in parliament broken promises failed to go see asians and abject capitulation to the e.u. it is therefore mathematically impossible to get this deal through the house of commons the choicest laurie clear we stand up for the united kingdom the whole of the united kingdom the integrity of the united kingdom or we vote for our vassal state with the breakup of the united are your got to try to resume a says she's doing her job and she believes she's doing the right thing for the country draft brags a deal she insists protects jobs and gives the nation back control of its north of its money and of its borders the alternative she warned leaving the e.u. with no deal is a part of deep and grave uncertainty but among those who resigned on thursday including two cabinet ministers and those who oppose the prime minister and her

deal on the right of the conservative party there may soon be sufficient numbers to launch a leadership contest. will go in but i'm not tired from what we as a leader. of the european union it is impossible to divide up the united kingdom it is impossible to agree to a situation where we have a perpetual customs union it is impossible to pay thirty nine billion pounds of taxpayers' money for a few promises for now to resume a carries on and her briggs's deal in theory at least moves to brussels next week for the approval of e.u. leaders like its survival though and indeed hers are not assured. joins us live what chance of the deal being approved by parliament tanner. well you heard it there in one of those comments in parliament lauren if not mathematically impossible it certainly mathematically very difficult she doesn't

1:45 am
of a vote its chances of survival do tend to look quite slim and we're back to the latest on any possible leadership challenge. jacob riis morg the right wing m.p. in the conservative party said it there you thinks the letters will go in this is an arcade mechanism but whereby forty eight conservative party m.p.'s have to send letters into their backbench committee saying they want a no confidence vote those letters have started to go in some of said they've put them in more may yet follow when it's reached that number it simply triggers a vote and it may well be that this is what they're trying to do now it's it's a it's a it's a risky strategy for them to undertake because there's no guarantee that there are enough m.p.'s in the conservative party who want to see to reason may go on they may not like a deal but they don't necessarily like any of the other choices on offer either if she survives a vote of no confidence then she's immune from

a look at the satellite picture we can see the cloud that we've had with us and they have given us some rather beefy downpours in some places i think we'll see a few more as we head through the next few days as well particularly across the central region meanwhile towards the west it'll be fairly warm for us in perth with a top temperature of twenty nine but that will change as we head into saturday a change in the wind direction will bring the temperatures down so twenty three will just be our maximum the temperatures in the southeast are also still struggling so our temperatures in melbourne and sydney will only be getting to around ninety over towards new zealand lots of cloud with us at the moment and that's pushing its way across the rest of the country as it does so it's going to drag down the temperatures behind it so christchurch will have an early maximum temperature on friday twenty one degrees but then as we head into saturday that system has pushed its way across us we're in the cooler air for maximum this time will only be sixteen degrees up towards the northern parts of asia we've also got some cooler air that's working its way in here or behind this weather system and i think works his way across then the temperatures will be dropping so sapporo from
