4:00 pm
grads will come to this senses and if they don't come to this senses we will continue to win elections you know we won the senate you're right you do recognize . that these are all the judges that i'm getting approved would now be easier because we actually picked up which is a story we picked up two seats in the senate we went from fifty one forty nine to fifty three forty seven that's a tremendous difference and these are senators i really like that's also example thank you all very much. but. i have very close to a decision on u.n. ambassador on the journey gen no we haven't but i will tell you until that decision is made we have a great gentleman it's not whatever and everybody knows he's doing a fantastic job. i consider pam bondi for anything but right now we have very well let me tell you she's got a very good job but i just doing
4:01 pm
a very good job she's always done a very good job but has some form in some form i'd love to have her in the administration but. we have great people you know we have we have tremendous people our cabinet i'm very happy how will i make adjustment yes but we have a great gap and you take a look at what we're doing with the military. very happy with secretary of defense by the way jim matt is doing a great job my cocktail is doing a great job we have a truly great cabinet i could go through every one of them but there you might be able to figure out the one or two that i'm a little bit less happy with that would be good ok thank you i'll see you in california thank you all right so that was president trump speaking just a few minutes ago let me show you where the president is now live pictures from much joint base andrews he's actually aboard air force one this is him now just getting off. the helicopter that took him from the white house to joint base
4:02 pm
andrews he's now on air force one which is as we speak. taking off on route to california now and speaking to the press. the president said that he would be speaking with secretary of state might compare and the cia about the saudi journalist. who was murdered in the saudi currency of us and istanbul in october this u.s. media reported that the cia believes saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin solomon the country's de facto ruler ordered a shock she's killing. so as i said the president saying that he's going to talk to his. secretary of state while aboard air force one on the way to california let's bring in of zeros roslyn jordan who is live for us in washington d.c. . what's your reading of this rose i mean surely the cia would have briefed the president on their conclusions wouldn't they. well they probably have
4:03 pm
not done so yet let's keep in mind that the public reporting of the cia's conclusions came on friday evening here in the united states and so typically the cia does a daily intelligence briefing with the president usually in the mornings and because the president is on his way to california to look at the wildfires he's going to be in the air for about five hours and so that is plenty of time for his intelligence prefers to walk him through not just what's happening around the world in general but give him more information about what they have concluded in this report that has now been discussed in a number of the national newspapers here in the united states the president is probably going to be speaking with the secretary of state mike pompei oh because they need to figure out what to do now about saudi arabia we heard the president
4:04 pm
there telling reporters that the saudis represent a great economic and security benefit to the united states and the president has said before that he is not interested in giving up any sort of relationship that does lead to economic development and to jobs for american workers but there is growing pressure particularly within the u.s. congress from both republicans and democrats that there is a relationship with saudi arabia needs to be recalibrated in a very considered and very open and deliberate fashion that is because they want to send the message that any government that would target someone who is perceived to be a critic of that government that they can't get away with doing that and certainly in the case of the journalist jamal khashoggi there is a considerable. upset here in washington that. the saudi government may have
4:05 pm
targeted him for being murdered we heard from the vice president mike pence in the last few hours who was at the apac summit in southeast asia and he had called his murder an atrocity an attack on the nature of the free press he did say that he wasn't going to talk about classified information but now that the us president donald trump has made these comments we may be able to hear later on saturday while he is in california what is thoughts are about the cia conclusions but certainly the pressure is going to be increasing and now it's going to be on the trumpet ministration to figure out a way forward in this situation you talk about the pressure now the home the president particularly. this from congress in particular. could the white house withstand that pressure could it say you heard what the president said there about saudi arabia being an ally and that he doesn't want to
4:06 pm
do anything that's going to harm the financial relationship in particular could the president say will look we've already imposed sanctions on those who are thought to have been involved in the murder of jamal khashoggi and that that's an office far as we're concerned. well that really depends on whether the cia report as has been chronicled in a number of national newspapers actually concludes and the president actually believes that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon actually orchestrated and directed his subordinates to carry out this murder if the president does believe that then it's going to be very difficult for him to continue to make the economic argument unless they are able to persuade the crown prince's father king solomon that perhaps someone else should be the heir apparent the white house has put a lot of energy and a lot of time into cultivating the relationship with mohammed bin solomon that's
4:07 pm
not in any dispute but given that there are a rather rigorous to u.s. laws governing how this government can engage with other countries that are accused of human rights abuses it does increase that pressure it's also worth noting that he hasn't just been sanctions two rounds of sanctions in fact that have been imposed against those saudis believed to have been involved in because so she is murder the defense department just a week ago very quietly decided and notified the saudi military that it was no longer going to be providing an air refueling for those fighter jets carrying out attacks against hooty fighters in the yemeni civil war that is just another part of the area where the members of congress are putting pressure on the trumpet ministration to change its relationship with the saudi government because of this
4:08 pm
incident there was already growing dismay over the rise of a civilian deaths and other humanitarian suffering in yemen because of the saudi conduct in that civil war and certainly this murder is just one more layer of pressure but with the cia come. with it's old but it's something which this administration had repeatedly said it needed to have before making a final decision it really does seem it really just beggars belief frankly that the administration can't find some way to change this relationship of course if the president decides that he wants to maintain the status quo that is his prerogative but there will be considerable political blowback if that is the way donald trump decides to proceed ross many thanks indeed i was there as well live in washington if you joined us in the middle of all of that. this is al-jazeera everyone so they can here in doha with the news our top story this hour is that the cia has
4:09 pm
concluded that the saudi crown prince ordered the killing of jamal social she that's according to u.s. media reports those reports directly contradicting saudi claims that the have it been solomon was not involved in the journalist's murder at the country's consulate in istanbul last month al-jazeera as mike hanna reports now from washington in recent days a number of members of congress have demanded that muhammad have been sodeman be held accountable either by way of tweets or in the case of senator bob corker during a debate about yemen in the senate and asked for a level briefing with maddest pompei o n g i asked paul to come in a sense 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 garage and the crown prince of saudi arabia now the washington post reports the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince
4:10 pm
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 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 khalid 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 of the 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
4:11 pm
a new york times. c m 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 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 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
4:12 pm
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 leaders mike hanna al-jazeera washington or president trump sort of a short time ago that he's waiting to be briefed by the cia we haven't been briefed yet the cia is going to be beginning to be today we have not been briefed yet as of this moment we were told that he did not play a role you have to find out what they have. a secure line not to istanbul out of there as tony berkeley is outside the saudi consulate in the city tony does from what we know of the cia reports to the details tally with what the turkish authorities have been saying. yes this reinforces what the turkish
4:13 pm
authorities have been leaking to local newspapers all along they've been saying and pointing the finger of suspicion very firmly at the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon they've said it was of an order that came from very high up probably from him and they've stood by this all the way along they've been leaking details as i said to local newspapers there's even more revelations today and we're talking about meticulous planning that was involved in this killing when you look at the all the details the finite details this could not of being as a saudi suggested an ad hoc decision to kill mystic a saudi he took a fifteen man team that came along included toxicologist included a frenzy expert it included buying bags from the gram bizarre to take the dismembered parts of the body but now also released information about the fact that a coagulant was used to inject to mr because argy and they said this is probably the reason to stop the flow of blood so when his body was dismembered left no d.n.a. on the turkish authorities have confirmed that they found no d.n.a.
4:14 pm
from any of the searches either the consulate the consulate general's house or another house which was implicated within the city so the meticulous planning here reaffirms that the turkish government has been right on the money all the way along that this was done from very high up all right tony many thanks indeed tony betty there live in istanbul abdulaziz. is a society human rights activist he joins us now from dublin what are your thoughts on the conclusions of the cia as reported by u.s. media. it's very interesting to see the leaking and for argument's sake let's say it is the truth that this is that conclusion of the cia it is very interesting to see the first. country who are name haven't been sent man as usa i think that's one plate from mr or gun as
4:15 pm
a third party would be for sure a way to put this matter into perspective because the saudi government doesn't have the credibility of the local newspapers and turkey at this moment so the saudi government and this is a situation it's. a fruit of the absolute monarchy listen i'll do it there our primary our minister of foreign affairs he can't go on t.v. even if you know that i'm a busy man who's responsible he can't blame him this is not a party that will go if something goes wrong this is our ruler for life so one hundred one said man and what's happening now is not to question as one hundred percent and responsible of all this action or not because there's a lot of previous actions that mohamed this set man how proven to be to be a killer but the question is how and how clear is this how big is that cover
4:16 pm
up or as mr trump call it the worst cover up and they have paid for it so what does this mean for the crown prince mohammed bin soman and his future. now of and saudi arabia the pearl sole d. or prominent. media and all fish bowls are are doing business as usual as this matter is done i'm finished. there was a tall yes some of the close to the close circles there was a peace is the sense we can go as saudi arabia can look into iraq and the hezbollah and russia has alliance f.m. they have a problem with the united states at the end of the day the united states should take the high road and not. not accept to take the sultan blood over our money this is tainted money there is a real problem in saudi arabia and this routine we don't want the m.b.'s on haven't
4:17 pm
been said man from out phenomena to happen again that's all the american people deserve to have an elected parliament which can supervise this people because for sure they prove they can act very viciously every ten minutes people are dying. a person is dying in yemen since mr jamal khashoggi died a lot of people a lot of children died in yemen ok and the worse is coming and yemen and other places so there are there is a long roll of people who are waiting for to be killed ok just as just out that it's not with the soul it's with the sort with the courts or to how. dissidents like yourself feeling in the life of the whole affair.
4:18 pm
personally this is as. also for exports and us on the matter this is not new business so do you have been very harsh against critical. mr s.f. no never he was killed with a court order he never he wasn't a violence guy if you don't i hear all his big views is like gandhi or something is very present none violence so we know they want to kill us if we weren't talking arabia we would be killed the trick is when you are outside they are only there not killing you not because of the moral issue and jamal issue when one gets old these don't their problem is not with killing jamal it's the problem is they get caught so but anyway it doesn't matter so this is not new news for us we know like a consequence since we are ready to pay your view circle have you so send since. she's disappearance and now it has moda have you had to change your behavior in any
4:19 pm
way i would really love the around there not to answer this kind of security questions if you don't look ok all right good to talk to so many thanks indeed for being with us up to lizzie's my head in dublin let's just take a moment to remind you about the events that led up to the murder on september twentieth the will start on september twenty eighth that's when. she made his first visit to the saudi consumers in istanbul and was then invited to return marianne home to reports. 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

4:23 pm
undersea mapping company made the discovery in the south atlantic a year and a day after the san juan disappeared houses here as necessitate reports. for a year and a day they've woken to the same question where are there forty four loved ones the crew of the san juan finally they have some says some closure if. it is an object that was found yesterday turned out to be the submarine at a depth of eight hundred meters the sound one was on a routine patrol from chile before it went missing the crew reported short circuiting problems with the aging subs batteries navy commandos eventually confirming an explosion on board submarines a built to be difficult to find and proved impossible for thirteen countries which joined the two week long search operation the argentine navy provoked anger and dismay amongst the crew's relatives by officially ending that search. contracted by

the argentine government the u.s. company ocean infinity which also search for malaysian airlines flight three seventy has combed the depths for more than two months. on the first anniversary of the disaster a ceremony to remember the crew at their home base in model plata that same evening ocean infinity's deep sea experts found an object of interest and sent down a robotic submarine to take a closer look at positively identified the san juan loss and we were sitting at the dining table with my mom when the mrs from the submarine command force arrived saying that an object that was to take to disobey was the san juan we couldn't believe it we turned on the television and they said it was the san juan. but finale of these relatives says won't make them any less angry their calls for justice growing louder than. the loss of the thirty three year old german built sub led to the dismissal of the navy's commander but not argentina's defense minister
4:25 pm
as some demanded. for the cruise families will only come with accountability. al-jazeera. as a straight to raise above is with us as we saw in that report such stories are relatives of the crew have been highly critical of the navy over the if one of they've been saying since the discovery of the sub. well there's obviously they're still trying to absorb the news they're still in shock they're being briefed by the navy in the city of motivated flat that's about three hundred kilometers away from here and what they basically say is that they want to know the truth there's not some questions about what exactly happened to this submarine many of them say that from the very beginning they were lied to they were never told what mission the submarine was carrying out officially the
4:26 pm
submarine was on on a mission investigating illegal fishing in the southern that said well the relatives say that they were lied to that there's more information that they were not told and also they want to know what went wrong they want to know why was it possible that water entered their snorkel area in the summer and then that's what sparked the fire they want to know exactly who's responsible so obviously there's lots of anger there's a lot of despair and lots of shock because they want to know a lot more. likely to be any political fallout from this demands for accountability . well we'll have to see what happens there's a press conference from the minister of defense in the next hour and there's also an investigation been southern argentina led by a judge who has been trying to answer some of the questions that the relatives have engines also waiting for the latest information that the ship the vessel the seabed
4:27 pm
constructor that's right now where the at a san juan is located and sending this robotic submarines inside trying to verify what information is available so of course there is an investigation that will probably and could have a huge impact not only in this administration but also the previous administration because that's when the submarine was referred wished to zero stories about their reporting live from one of stars. the united nations special envoy for yemen says the warring parties will attend talks in sweden later this month after a pause in fighting in the besieged port city of her data airstrikes have been really launched by the saudi and iraqi led coalition against two three rebels on diplomatic it's a james bays reports. to impede the charles when he brief the un security council special envoy martin griffiths was talking up the prospects of yemeni peace talks due to take place soon in sweden it is
