u.s. media reports say the cia believes the saudi crown prince mohammed bin ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi flatly contradicting saudi denials. from also coming up continues in yemen a glimmer of hope with the u.n. special envoy saying the warring parties will attend talks in. britain's prime minister to resume a appoints a replacement minister but faces more turmoil ahead from rebels within her own

party. and not much cooperation on show at the apec summit china attacks president america first policy while the us defends trade tariffs against beijing. the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin cell man did order the killing of jamal khashoggi according to u.s. media reports that finding contradicts head on saudi claims that the crown prince wasn't involved in the murder of the journalist at the saudi consulate in istanbul last month mike hanna has more from washington. in recent days a number of members of congress have demanded that muhammad have been silent be held accountable either by way of tweets or in the case of senator bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate i asked for our level briefing with madness

pompei o n g i asked for comment assumes we get back to share with us what is happening with saudi arabia on both fronts both yemen and what is happening as it relates to the journalist who was assassinated in my opinion at the direction of the crown prince of saudi arabia is now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the assassination of journalist jamal khashoggi the sit says according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity the report says in reaching his conclusions the cia examined multiple sources of intelligence including a phone call that the crown prince's brother and ambassador to the u.s. had with the journalist before his murder khaled bin solomon was quick to deny the allegation saying on twitter i never talk to him by phone and certainly never suggested he go to turkey for any reason i asked the u.s.

government to release any information regarding this claim. within hours several other news organizations including the new york times and the wall street journal also quoting anonymous officials confirming the report of the cia's finding although it is very important it's very significant that what the washington post new york times. c n b c n n other outlets over the last hours. reported that the cia internal assessment now is pointing straight years. in some as having ordered this operation this has never happened before at the cia we probably will not comment on this kind of report however the washington post wouldn't report this unless they were accurately reporting where they believe the

cia said so which is a slight nuance now one can anticipate that the congressional oversight committees will have been briefed or demand to be briefed on this the reports alleging muhammad have been solomon's involvement unlikely to field even further congressional demands that punitive measures be taken against the crown prince and his government the question is whether the president has been briefed by the cia on its reported conclusions and if so whether he would be prepared to back away from his stated reluctance to take action against the saudi government and its leader as mike hanna al-jazeera washington. founder simmons joins us live now from istanbul so andrew there is no smoking gun here there is no single piece of evidence that links the death to the crown prince but we are talking about a big list of hard data that the cia reportedly has been interpreting.

that's right page there is really an avalanche of publications now in the united states all saying the same thing that the cia has concluded that mahama bin solomon the crown prince of saudi arabia did order this murder and despite all the denials despite all the conflicting accounts from saudi arabia that was the case but as far as a smoking gun goes i think that the quotation from the wall street journal which was following on from the original story published by the washington post for which jamal khashoggi used to write his column in the washington post being the first to break this story on friday nights now one official says it isn't based on smoking gun evidence this is the wall street journal reporting it's an understanding of how saudi arabia works so that is radio call it

what you will is accumulation of dangerous accumulation of evidence the turkish intelligence the turkish investigates as i have put together it is overwhelmingly the audiotapes tapes plural not one tape now a second tape which proves beyond all reasonable doubt according to the turks that before arrived in the consulate oct the second there was a recording of the alleged killing team together rehearsing suggestively of what they would do in terms of killing their targets now let's look at the woods said on thursday at the saudi news conference when the public prosecution sets out a new six sets of events including five men who are being indicted for the murder and we're going to be recommended for the death sentence. and then

furthermore an account of events which started with well a group going out to a rest effectively a rendition taking it back from turkey willingly or by force that was the arrangement apparently and in terms of who was responsible for that that would have been a syria who was named in the first place by were not named but the finger pointed at him in terms of his position and announce that he been dismissed from his post as the deputy intelligence chief not he was supposed to be the man who is responsible for this operation and then somehow it all went wrong according to this report this full report by saudi arabia and when it went wrong it was effectively an injection that caused the death of khashoggi according to the saudis not

strangulation the turks would counter that with already evidence of a strangulation going on so from top to bottom this was not a an accident by a rogue squad this was a state sponsored murder and that is the conclusion of the cia you can't get much higher than that and thanks very much sid in kosovo who joins us live from ankara sent him mr has yet to react officially to this developing angle to this story coming to us out of washington what you think you'll use this information to achieve next. well yes of course he will use this information on the way in the way that he really wants because there are some pending topics between washington and that needs to be resolved there are some. problematic matters actually first i must i must say that the u.s. support to the syrian democratic forces in in syria is

a very huge problem for turkey because syrian democratic forces which is mainly. built built up of the why p.g. and p. y. d. is seen as a terrorist organization and turkey as an offshoot of the out both kurdistan workers party so turkey says you have you need to stop your your support to the y. p.g. which means a direct support to be k.k. because when you deliver the guns and weapons to them they use it against turkey on the turkish syria border or inside turkey this is one of the most important topics actually this is also an important topic between riyadh and ancora as well because if we are also supports the y.p. jeep in syria so present side on and donald trump had a phone conversation last night if you would remember and the leading topic was an officer to case plus the u.s. support to wipe each and today we heard from turkey's defense minister the former chief of command is asking the united states that they should immediately cut their

support to the y p g after a picture was a real it on the media a top level high level senior. u.s. commanders having dinner with the y. p.g. fighters so for turkey this is very important and turkey will it will add on is going to push united states in order to have a break between washington and the s.d.f. in terms of its own benefit of course another topic has been mentioned by the n.b.c. rescind the. extradition of such a lucky man whose name to be the orchestrator of the failed coup attempt. in july two thousand and sixteen in turkey but on caresses that we see her should she case and villains extradition case talk to the different they are independent from each other in terms of way shape and form so. according to ankara it's out of table and other matter for turkey which is very important is that turkey and us have some buy

a little defense agreements for instance one of them is thirty five fighter jets which turkey is also a part of this project. yes and saw turkey believes that the delay in the delivery of the fighter jets was actually due to politics between the political tension between washington and unca now turkey will also push for early delivery of the fighter jets thanks very much. evan resnick is a u.s. foreign policy and security specialist at the earth rajaratnam school of international studies in singapore he says the trumpet ministration may try to discount the cia's findings to save its relationship with saudi arabia. it's explosive. intelligence and it once again just points in the same direction we already were the question is how credible will the president of the united states see this evidence that's really the pertinent question here and especially given

president trump's proclivity towards the saudi regime towards and mohamed been some on even his long running skepticism of the u.s. have his own intelligence community it's an open question how seriously he will take this intelligence even if all the rest of us take it quite seriously clearly he has many many reasons to want to whitewash this case this is a problem for him not least of which is the problem is that this case poses for his regional policy which is aimed at containing. the islamic republic of iran. so it's all about containing iran and saudi arabia is the linchpin for that policy and trouble also has a he has a strike at an odd but nevertheless strong affinity for the saudi regime his son in law is very close with m.b.a.'s so there are all sorts of overlapping geo political personal. reasons for trump to want to do everything he can to try and whitewash this ok let's take

a moment now to recap on the events leading up to the assassination starting on september the twenty eighth that was when the journalist made a visit to the saudi consulate in istanbul and was invited to return home to pass this report. soon after jamal khashoggi leaves the saudi consulate this man. a saudi attention istanbul reportedly leaves two he flies to riyadh returning two days later on october the first a group of officials then travel from the saudi consulate to a forest on the outskirts of a stand bill and to the nearby city of yellow over on what the turkish president says was a reconnaissance mission police sources say. is among them at about three fifteen on the day is told to return to the consulate nine of the fifteen min the saudi team arrive it is devil's attitude a port on a private jet from riyadh the risk follow either on commercial flights or on

a second private jet checking into two hotels near the consulate at nine fifty five around three hours before crucial derives one of the suspected saudi agents abilities motives into his the saudi consulate and now a before diplomatic vehicles pull up allegedly carrying some of the saudi agents because shogi walks through the front gate of the saudi consulate at thirteen fourteen the last time he is ever seen alive to president richard says he is a tech tsunami tortured killed and then dismembered reuters news agency says this man sowed. a top aide to saudi prince mohammed bin cell man supervises the killing virus sky cool for days after disappearance saudi officials insist he left the building surveillance footage shows those behind his mierda wanted to make it

look that way one member of the team dresses in casualties clothes even wears a false bid but tellingly his own shoes he walks out of the consulate throwback exit to make it look like chris. she left about two hours after his the consulate bleck vented from the consulate to the nearby residents of the saudi consul was seen there at sixteen fifty three all the time on say is waiting outside the saudi consulate a teacher alerts authorities and turkish intelligence and security agents rushed to attitude airport according to sources they searched at least one of the private jets and baggage too but after twenty one hundred on october the second the second of the private jets departs for riyadh no sign of. and still no sign of his body. still to come here on al-jazeera unnecessary misery on the poor the u.n.
