prime minister appoints a new parks and negotiator but will he be able to carry out her mission. yes media is reporting that the cia has concluded the saudi crown prince mohammed bin ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi last month the wall street journal says congressional leaders had been formed about these developments on thursday the washington post says the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence they include a phone call that the prince's brother khalid who is also the saudi ambassador to the u.s. had with guaranteeing his safety if he came to the saudi consulate in istanbul however. denying that conversation took place he tweeted as he told the washington post the last contact i had with mr bush via text on october twenty sixth two thousand and seventeen i never talk to him by phone and certainly never suggested

he go to turkey for any reason ask u.s. government to release any information regarding this claim i canot joins us live from washington d.c. mike this information would not be out there were if it weren't that the cia wanted it to be out there tell us more about this. well that is an assumption but the fact that it's not only the washington post but a large number of other news organizations that are running with the story quoting in each case unarmed officials who are familiar with the situation would appear to imply that the this is being leaked in some particular way it is a large number of organizations as i say first reported by the washington post which was adamant that its sources are highly reliable and the fact that they would go with such a story that is so deeply damaging would appear to imply that they do have complete confidence in this sources the publisher of the of the washington post has also
6:03 am
released a statement calling on the united states government to start an independent investigation he says in the statement that since the beginning of this whole affair the attempt has been made to shield those higher up in the saudi government from accountability and this he says must end so certainly this is going to put pressure on the trumpet ministration to take some kind of action and the question that one must ask at this particular point is if this report is accurate has president trump been briefed about the cia's conclusion and based on what donald trump's actions and words have been so far about this any indication if this is actually proven to be true if it's a ministration war will do anything different than they have so far. well president trump has gone from pillar to post on this at one stage he gave credence to the
6:04 am
saudi version of events that it was some kind of rogue operation gone wrong at another time he said well if the saudi princes responsible then i'll hold him accountable but he has come up with no a decision as yet he has said repeatedly that he's still coming to a conclusion as to how level higher high in the saudi government accountability should go what he has done is made very very clear easy exceedingly reluctant to have economic sanctions placed against the crown prince or indeed the saudi government he's continued to insist this could do more harm to the united states then to the saudi government itself now congress members have been absolutely insistent that they have to got to increase the accountability they will come the treasury department decision to impose sanctions against seventeen individuals who were identified by saudi arabia however they say this just does not go far enough
6:05 am
and many senators are insisting that in some way the trumpet ministration is attempting to shield the crown prince and the saudi government as a whole from further sanction ok mike hanna live for us in washington thank you. josh an is executive director at the arab center in washington d.c. he says the cia's conclusion or for the crown prince's involvement is unprecedented for the agency. well i think all indications over the past few weeks indeed you know after the first week. of the end so the. sheen all indications were pointing and direction although it is very important it's very significant that what the washington post in new york times. c m b c n n other outlets over the past three hours have reported that the cia
6:06 am
internal assessment now is pointing straight years. in so much as having ordered this operation this has never happened before it's in control diction with the assessment of the saudi government that in its own contradiction which is more important with the assessment of the white house that's not what we have heard thus far from the president of the united states or from his national security adviser bolton who actually released information that's totally opposite if indeed the cia assessment is true i think this is a major game changer in the investigation. or muslims around the world have been remembering jamal khashoggi time friday prayers i gather at mosques in indonesia turkey saudi arabia and the u.k. interests and supports i missed on all. forty five days of the jamal khashoggi is

6:08 am
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 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 seventy of following a brawl and turkish investigators say it's already been established from the original recording that has shoji was strangled to death a not drugged a ruling party official who knew well says the saudi investigation can't be credible to the source that mikey it's an investigation that is headed by the crown prince and that investigation says he isn't related to what happened in each one
6:09 am
organization of this investigation is problematic you can expect an independent fair judgment from that court. among those here were many who didn't know. he was murdered in the treasury quite unfortunately so that's why i'm here today it's really symbolic for me to this prayer. that was mentioned it is impossible not to react as a muslim and the human being we are here to do our duty for jamal khashoggi for loved ones who maintain privacy on this day there may be some level of comfort spiritually but closure seems a long distance away andrew symonds al-jazeera is. united nations special envoy for yemen says the warring parties will attend upcoming talks in sweden where the fighters say the fighting continues as coalition air strikes on the port city of diplomatic editor james bass has this report to be allowed to impede the trials

6:22 am
their arrival and that's why you're seeing the first waves of this migrant caravan already now just mere kilometers from the u.s. border but having arrived here this is certainly not the end of the trials that these families will endure i just spoke with a woman who came out of the shelter because there was no more food left for her young child she has a three year old she says his hungry will sleep this evening without a blanket which also ran out as well and the stark reality here is these two thousand some people who are already in tijuana inside the shelter are not even half of the total group of migrants who are still heading north they could arrive in the next few days and with their arrival these few resources will only be more strained and exactly how they'll continue surviving here is an open question. tax in northern mali are increasing especially against the u.n. mission in the country despite the challenges u.n.
