1:02 am
this agreement with president trump as being something a more the saudis rather than anyone else even though there's been a joint saudi turkish investigation into this murder this took as authorities have complained that the saudis are sent a forensic team not investigators designed to cover up aspects of this murder so there's a lot of suspicion about the openness and the fairness of the saudi part to this they have always denied any involvement but the revelations today from harriet about this new tape which was allegedly recorded in the morning before mr kosofsky went into the consulate does show that there was an element here of premeditation not as the saudis said that it was something that was done on the spur of the moment it's quite clear according to that the saudi so-called hit team were discussing how to kill mr casady and what the individual roles would be so that would suggest it was preplanned there are other aspects to also about suitcases that were bought in the grand bazaar here which are thought to have been used to
1:03 am
take out the dismembered parts of mystical saudis body and also a phone call that was made to saudi arabia when the message was given tell your boss the deed has been done now the question is who was the boss it's it's believed in many circles that the boss was the crown prince mohammed bin salman they've always denied this they've exonerated him but if it wasn't him and the suspicion is now on the doorstep of the saudi royal court then who was the person who ordered the murder where muslims across the world have been remembering to marcus to jihad friday prayers they gathered at mosques in indonesia turkey saudi arabia and the u.k. where his family held away at his home in jeddah andrew symonds reports now from istanbul forty five days after jamal khashoggi his murder they come to pray with a grief that permeates agree rainy day. oh love. the bounce all the more poignant because of the empty space of the most solid stone
1:04 am
here where a coffin should rest one of the show jews friends set the tone of the day after this prayer we are going to look for. justice not anger. but deep grief but we are looking. this tinsley justice for. another friend expressed similar sentiment the bottom of the gun box into this was a barbaric act committed in the twenty first century this wasn't just the murder expressions of anguish of regret and the quest for justice amongst it all more revelations from the turkish media about the last moments of jamal khashoggi his life events that dispute the saudi account of what happened. turkey's harriot newspaper says a so far on heard of odia recording disproves the saudi assertion that jews murder
1:05 am
was not planned the newspaper says the team can be heard discussing how to kill him the audio apparently contradicts the latest version of events from the saudis who are only twenty four hours ago said he died after being injected with a large dose of sedative following a brawl and turkish investigators say it's already been established from the original recording the cause shoji was strangled to death a not drugged a ruling party official who knew kushal well says the saudi investigation can't be credible any sort of statement here it's an investigation that is headed by the crown prince and that investigation says he isn't related to what happened in a church organization of this investigation is problematic you can expect an independent fair judgment from that court. among those here were many who did know
1:06 am
because shoji was murdered in their tragic way unfortunately so that's why i'm here today it's really symbolic for me to see this prayer. that ms mentioned it is impossible not to react as a muslim and the human being we are here to do our duty for jamal khashoggi because she loved ones who maintain privacy on this day maybe some level of comfort spiritually but closure seems a long distance away and to simmons' al-jazeera is tumble. the un's yemen envoy says the country's warring parties are committed to attend peace talks in sweden the saudi emirate he coalition has been battling hooty rebels for yemen's vital port city of her data while our diplomatic editor james bases at the united nations tell us more about what's being said at the u.n.
1:07 am
well i think further developments which perhaps following our lead story saudi arabia won't particularly like we hear the u.k. is putting forward a new draft resolution on yemen that will go to security council members on monday looking at the humanitarian situation but in particular looking at her data and sation of hostilities the security council will call for around eight infrastructure including the port of who data it's all part of a plan to try and get peace talks underway in sweden very soon we hear from the un special envoy martin griffiths is a crucial moment for yemen. i've received firm assurances from the leadership of the yemeni parties the governor of yemen of course first and then us rather they are committed to attending these consultations i believe that genuine unlike
1:08 am
suspect them to continue in that way and to. appear before those consultations and indeed so do the yemeni people who are desperate for a political solution to a war in which they are the main victims and the desperation for the yemeni people was borne out by the head of the world food program who just forty eight hours earlier had been in the data in yemen he. told reporters about it is experiences when visiting a hospital one little child and i remember little feet was sticking out the blanket and it was kind of cute and i went to called the little feet you know they could not get a little smile and just like took on a ghost and nothing there so the big question now is how will saudi arabia respond to these developments i have in the last week been traveling and
1:09 am
being in d.c. washington d.c. and paris and here in new york getting soundings from diplomats and although the u.n. is pushing the idea of these peace talks saudi arabia is certainly very lukewarm about the idea of peace talks and any u.n. resolution and i think what diplomats are noticing is perhaps some cracks in the saudi led coalition with the u.s. a more supportive of trying to bring the war to the to an end than saudi arabia right now right james thanks very much indeed james braze reporting there from the united nations. more children have been killed in syria in the first nine months of two thousand and eighteen than in any other year since a seven year war began that's according to the u.n. children's agency unicef says at least eight hundred seventy children were killed between january and september but that number. thirty children were killed in u.s.

a tropical mixture in his the potential for right don't be great don't think much will come out of the sky and given the temperature in christchurch seventeen you think what tropical weather is this think you're right it's just a bit of greatest really have occasional share of the high ground which is a good part of south island and there's a picture for sunday showers the more likely the temperature regime much to say it is cooler in japan now the seasons trying to change the rains going offshore twenty degrees in the sunshine and tokyo but only six in sapporo. on counting the cost the breaks if endgame there's a complicated draw for a deal on the table we'll break it down and tell you what it means for people living in the u.k. and the e.u. plus why saudi arabia wants to slam the brakes on oil production. counting the cost on al-jazeera.
1:13 am
but again a reminder the top stories here on al-jazeera and the tuchis newspaper what he had to says turkey has an already a recording of a saudi team discussing how to murder the journalist. before he entered the consulate in istanbul it suggests the motive was premeditated. muslims around the world have been remembering jamal khashoggi at friday friends. the united nations a yemen envoy says the country's warring parties have committed to attend peace
1:14 am
talks in sweden on the ground to thier fishel seventy six civilians have been killed and asked right by the saudi and iraqi led coalition. the us president says he's completed written notes as to questions posed by special counsel as investigation into russia's role in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election donald trump told reporters the questions easily is investigating whether members of trump's two thousand and sixteen presidential campaign team colluded with russia. my lawyers are working on that i'm working with that i write the interest my lawyers the right answers i write it says i was asked a series of questions i've answered the very easily very easily i'm sure there tripped up because you know they like to catch people you know with the weather sunny or was it brady he said it may have been a good day it was radii therefore he told a lie he perjured himself ok so you have to always be careful when you answer questions with people that probably have bad intentions but. you know it's. the
1:15 am
questions were very routinely answered by me by me. or less says peter mike hanna joins us live from washington a routinely on sit by me he says the u.s. president mike. well the president apparently taking great pride in the fact that he sat down and wrote his own answers to the millet questions no no doubt the lawyers have been looking very carefully at what the president wrote and fact is penmanship now what's not clear is whether these questions involved all the events up to twenty sixteen including that presidential campaign and possible russian involvement in it or whether there were questions about trump's actions as president the president or that is since twenty sixteen rumors of obstruction of justice speculation of various acts by the president it would appear that the questions that president trump has aren't to do in fact in with the twenty sixteen
1:16 am
campaign this is what is advisor rid of the line he had said earlier that these were the questions he was ready to answer but one must point out the questions have not yet the answers that is have not yet been handed into the special prosecutor president trump still not happy with the special prosecutor's office we heard him say there are people who do not have the best intentions but on thursday there was a complete meltdown in the white house in a series of absolutely vitriolic tweets came out about the special counsel's office describing it as a complete mess and reiterating the trump position that this is a total witch hunt the greatest witch hunt in history it's not quite clear what set the president off maybe it was the idea of laboring at himself writing the answers to the questions so this point in time are we any closer to reach a conclusion to the inquiry is the end in sight.
1:17 am
well that's up in the air quite honestly there had been various timetables by other people robert malone self has never set any timetable for his investigation in fact very little has come out of the mill investigation it's a really tightly round ship the only aspects we've had all the indictments that have been laid the charges that have been laid against various individuals but no sign whatsoever that this investigation is coming to a close i must stress as well that robert miller is quite capable and is legally able to ask follow up questions to president trump and also should he wish to press for an in person. interview so this is not over perhaps this phase of the mill investigation getting some kind of input for direct input from president trump so it's basically the answer to question is how long is
1:18 am
a piece of string it's very unclear how long this investigation is still going to take before robert mueller releases his final report and remembering to that this speculation that president trump really wants to shut this investigation down this was also accentuated by his firing of his attorney general replacing his attorney general with a lower rank the chief of staff who is known to be opposed to the mill investigation so there's a lot of play out there and there's a lot of incidents and the vents are still likely to happen in the coming days weeks possibly even months in the mike thanks very much dave mckenna reporting from washington d.c. . stephen barkley has been named as the u.k.'s new brakes at secretary europe places dominant rob he resigned on thursday a draft agreement made by prime minister to resign may with the european union rebels within may's conservative party are trying to launch a leadership challenge accusing her of selling out this is not the deal of
1:19 am
a future relationship with the european union the deal of the future relationship with the european union means we take back control of arnold's weekend free movement take back control of our borders take back control of our money so we can spend it on priorities like the n.h.s. went out of the customs union but out of the single market rather the common agricultural policy rather the cause issues policy that's rising people voted for that's what i'm delivering. general has more from outside the u.k. parliament. well the ship of state on friday evening is looking more stable than it was twenty four hours ago theresa may has appointed a new briggs's secretary replacing dominic robb who resigned on thursday stephen bach lee up to now a junior health minister but crucially a leave supporter that portfolio requires a leave supporter to make it in any way effective he takes up the position albeit a portfolio reduced in stature to reason may will be leading the negotiations we're
1:20 am
told at least over the next ten days with the e.u. she's also brought back into her cabinet amber rudd the former home secretary approach remain minister and a close ally of to resume a to take up estimate vai's position at work and pensions that's a big boost to the prime minister to have her ally back in cabinet and of course the five leave pro leave cabinet ministers who've been on the verge of resigning for the last twenty four hours including michael gove he's a big fish and they will decide to stay on and try and see this deal of hers through parliament so stability restored up to a point in this context that doesn't mean much more than that she and the government may survive the weekend because next week there is the possibility of a leadership challenge coming to pass the forty eight letters are received by the backbench committee chairman calling for a vote of no confidence by conservative party m.p.'s we're told that number is approaching nobody will know until the moment comes but of course if the reason
1:21 am
mays voted down to have to stand down whether there are the numbers in her party willing to see her go though is another matter given that five of those senior cabinet ministers have decided to stay on they may know that the numbers simply aren't there to defeat the prime minister. supporters of sri lanka's disputed prime minister have flung books chairs and water mix with chili powder to try to stop a no confidence motion against the government police were called to separate mahinda rajapaksa supporters from those who say his appointment as prime minister is unconstitutional and no confidence vote was eventually passed the term all began when the president sacked his prime minister and replaced him with rajapaksa but it smith reports now from colombia. at the heart of sri lanka's democracy total breakdown of law and order the speaker of parliament could only end of the chain but with an advance police guard

a supporters of appointed prime minister mahinda rajapaksa old furniture was spiked with chili. and the constitution while those who drafted the weighty book wanted m.p.'s to exploit its full force they probably didn't mean it to be taken literally was the fraying tempers all aimed at stopping a vote of no confidence the supporters of rajapaksa know they'll lose. huddled behind the police guard is the speaker karoge eyesore. through the chaos he's determined to push on was was and with a show of hands the no confidence motion has passed for the second time this week was the speaker and the police retreat under a volley of messiahs while rajapaksa and his son now both in red scarves watch from the sidelines a supporter of the ousted prime minister running away from
1:23 am
a singer summed up the vote who did it i did back again right to disrupt the whole parliament session but really we are able to pass a resolution saying that i did like should government led by mind that i don't like here is no normal but supporters of rajapaksa want an election to break the deadlock that's a tactic to bypass parliament all of us can pass a more time calling the volume and for dissolution and all of the violin for election challenging in war parliament has again been adjourned this time until monday carpenters will be in this weekend to patch it up run a witnessing get the prime minister who says he was unconstitutionally fired last month returned to his official government residence physically unscathed and perhaps sensing a return to power the intensity of the violence in parliament has left m.p.'s shaken and still unresolved is the question of who governs sri lanka but after friday's events it must now be getting much harder for mahinda rajapaksa to
1:24 am
legitimately claim the title of prime minister. bernard smith al-jazeera because parliament. chancellor angela merkel has visited an east german town for the first time since violence by far right protesters erupted earlier this year the rest was triggered by a stabbing attack on a german man whose death was blamed on an asylum seeker cain has more now from ken knits. for the mention of putting nearly three months the people of chemists of wanted the chance to talk to their chancellor about the violence that has come to their city and the rise of right wing extremism here on friday one hundred thirty of them got their wish and several pointed questions on this is mentioned. a terrible murder happened and other people got hurt i looked into the matter today and it's something that has people up as a result there has been radical right wing demonstrations for which there is no justification at least for parts of it. that doesn't mean that we don't have the
1:25 am
freedom to demonstrate people can express their opinions but that does not justify the use of national socialist symbols and the like. in her visit had started earlier in the day with a photo call the local leisure center players from the chemist's niners basketball team were put through their paces as a curious chance under arm the problem frank of america always for watching friendly matches here is one thing in kansas a political opponent out on the streets it's much harder thing to try and be. because they come from across the state of saxony and beyond far right supporters whose cry is medical must back their call must go they don't believe and instead support the populist alternative for germany one of its local members of parliament gave merkel's visit short shrift. the complete opposite way. if you feel to shit.
1:26 am
in my opinion this is it is far too late you should have come here immediately after august events and a murder that happened or should choose by coming here now is to be rejected by many people that is the voice of a party many people encampments reject nevertheless some here say they are concerned at the turn of events have taken. many citizens are worried of course not for nothing when you hear the kids young people living and dying dying cabinets don't feel so good that didn't used to be the care it's definitely like that i have kids myself so i can say that from my own experience. far right groups had hoped thousands would come to protest against medical visit end just a few hundred gathered to reject her and her policies these protesters say they are the people who successive governments have ignored and yet by her visit their
1:27 am
chancellor has shown she believes that is not the case dominic cain al-jazeera came in its. it is time to recalibrate your weighing scales because the way scientists define the exact mass of one kilogram is about to change this is the growing k. golf ball size metal cylinder that's been the world's only true kido since eight hundred eighty nine it's the basis for everything from your weight to how much fruit and vege you buy at the supermarket but it slowly came with time when i expect it's got that invests i want to take away to off the grown k. they've approve using the prank constant instead and that is one of the most celebrated yet to difficult equations in the world of physics it means copies of the grown around the world will not have to be sent back to france for comparison with the original nations will now calculate an object's true weight using the scientific formula it will impact things that need ultra precise measurements like
1:28 am
computing pharmaceuticals even the study of climate change but your path from scales well they will really be affected the foka as this report from parents were really they are the monsters of measurements custodians of the kilogram the international general conference some weight some measurements is gathered to vote a redefining of vital calculation since eight hundred eighty nine the kilograms being based on this cylinder of polish platinum alloy the chunk of metal known as look k. is so precious it's kept deep in a high security vaults near paris. it is the mother of all measurements from which all weighing scales everywhere in the world a calibrated but there's a problem the growing case losing weight over the past one hundred twenty nine years of interacting with the air around it not to mention the occasional polish it's lost atoms fifty micrograms of mass to be precise it's just an object so if you use it you have to use it very carefully even when you put it on
1:29 am
a balance you might change its mass a little bit it's not it's not guaranteed to be stable you have to keep it under the best condition as you and it is a replica of the gronk a otherwise known as the international kilogram prototype copies like this a calibrated against the original roughly every forty years or so increasing the possibility of in that curious sees some likely to matter much when you're mixing ingredients together for a cake or measuring apples in the supermarket when you're mixing chemicals or putting together the ingredients in sensitive pharmaceuticals hyper accuracy matters. so what will replace le grande k.s. the new standard kilogram the answer lies in quantum physics obviously the kilogram will be based on a universal constant to nature such as gravity or the speed of light is called the planck constant very simply it describes the behavior of particles or waves in the
1:30 am
atomic scale and is measured using a complex instrument known as the kibble balance the world is shifting today to this. era which means that now we are ever to many one by one and zero a lot of technology which are based on that and the need to have units which are you know i create. decision look wrong k. will now retire into storage a relic of a bygone age ensuring a kilogram remains a kilogram for all time and for all people. al-jazeera france. so then the top stories here in al-jazeera the turkish presidency says. u.s. president donald trump have agreed in a phone call that no aspect of jamal khashoggi is murder should be left uncovered turkish newspaper says turkey has an audio recording of
