like the ghost. fighting continues in yemen and the humanitarian situation deteriorates a glimmer of hope that the warring parties may be willing to sit and talk. frankly drivers block roads and yellow jackets protests in france against rising fuel prices which the president says are aimed at fighting pollution. and u.s. firefighters continue the grim search for bodies in the worst wildfires in the history of the u.s. state of california. the cia has concluded the saudi crown prince ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi that's according to u.s. media reports the finding contradicts saudi claims that mohammed bin so man was not involved in the journalist's murder at the country's consulate in istanbul. all
2:02 pm
last month lots of moving pieces in this breaking news story ross jordan is monitoring developments for us out of the u.s. andrew symonds is the sunday embassy in istanbul will talk to them both in just a few minutes but first mike hanna begins our coverage with this report in recent days a number of members of congress have demanded that mohammed 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 matters pompei oh and you know i asked for the 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 us 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
2:03 pm
the condition of anonymity the report says in reaching its 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 talked 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. what the washington post new york times. c n b c n n other outlets over the hours.
2:04 pm
reported that the cia internal assessment now is pointing straight years. as having ordered this operation this has never happened before in 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 what 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
2:05 pm
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 ok let's cross live now to washington and my colleague our correspondent rosslyn jordan rose how much pressure does this put on donald trump to dial back on his relationship with her yet. well certainly as we heard from the tennessee senator bob corker in mike hanna his report there's already pressure coming from both parties in congress to seriously re-evaluate the relationship between the united states and saudi arabia it is also worth noting that there are many within the trumpet ministration who think that with the possibility of muhammad bin solomon possibly being the king of saudi arabia for fifty years if not longer that there has to be a very deliberate and calibrated response to these new allegations now of course
2:06 pm
it is worth pointing out that the vice president mike pence was asked about these reports while he is at the aussie on summit in singapore and he said that he could out comment on classified information but he did call the murder of jamal. an atrocity an attack on the free press and that the united states is looking for a way to preserve the relationship with saudi arabia and that's very interesting language we'll see if the white house wants to expand on those comments on saturday rosen thanks very much live now to istanbul and our correspondent there simon so andrew what else do we know about these new reports of evidence that this was a premeditated killing. well there is new leaks in fact in the area newspaper published on the saturday morning and it goes like this there is a report that
2:07 pm
a coagulant. drug was used in syringes on g. the intention being to clot the blood to make the whole process of dismembering his body less and less of a problem in terms of evidence being left with blood stains because there would have been less blood with the car going ation with the clotting now this is all indicating a very organized event a very well planned operation and it hasn't surprised investigators that they've now proved this furthermore there is another revelation later in their reporting the area it's that they're now sure that these are quoting prosecution and investigators sources within both camps and they're saying that there is an assertion now that chemicals and acid were used for dissolving his body and that probably will be no evidence of
2:08 pm
a body left he was caught up after this process of injecting these coagulants into his bloodstream now furthermore there have also been d.n.a. testing we've known about that for a while the prosecution is saying now that there were no d.n.a. matches in the consulates or the consul general residence a five minute walk away or an address and in the town of yellow over just outside istanbul the reason they searched an address there was a house was that a businessman living there had been reached by one of the fifteen in the team had been phoned up and that that phone line was tapped and they had to go into the house to search it they'd also searched all the vehicles but. no d.n.a. matches any of those either now the investigation team say this still is no surprise it's been a long time before they got to actually search the vehicles they searched the
2:09 pm
residence is not surprised at all that a complete cleanup operation that taken place that the cleanup operation of being under the guise of an investigation team coming out from saudi arabia but really it was clean up and cover up under thanks very much well rather gucci is a former washington post reporter and now a senior lecturer at lancaster university in the u.k. he says they may not be enough outrage in the u.s. over the killing of jamal khashoggi to pressure donald trump into acting this sort of response from the cia it coming out on a weekend and coming out after the midterm elections there is really anything that's holding trump the fire here there's there doesn't seem to be a huge uprising in the united states that a journalist from saudi arabia and from america has been murdered potentially and it sure seems by the direction i had
2:10 pm
a state where this doesn't seem to be a big issue for the american public but it is quite concerning that that the trumpet ministration has been pushing off any sort of responsibility to those higher levels of authority and instead saying this was kind of a business deal gone wrong you know the house now has more has more control by democrats and so those those in the house might might find this just an opportunity to embarrass or to get at donald trump and in some ways and certainly we have seen some sanctions taken by the united states government so it's not that it's been completely ignored. the u.n. special envoy to yemen says the warring parties will attend talks in sweden later this month after a pause and fighting in the besieged port city of data airstrikes have been relaunched by the saudi coalition against the rebels inside of the matter get to
