do you think people will abandon. correspondent the current. u.s. media reports say the cia believes saudi crown prince mohammed bin ordered the killing of jamal khashoggi flatly contradicting saudi denials. i'm adrian from again this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. just like ticking the ghost as fighting continues in yemen and the humanitarian situation deteriorates a glimmer of hope but the warring parties may be willing to sit down and talk.
5:01 pm
on the streets of france drivers of blocking roads to protest against rising fuel prices. and the year after an argentinian submarine went missing with forty four crew on board it's been found. the cia has concluded that the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sama ordered the killing of jamal that's according to u.s. media reports the finding contradicts saudi claims that he was not involved in the journalist's murder of the country's consulate in istanbul last month al-jazeera as mike hanna reports 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 of briefing with matters pompei oh and yeah i asked for the comment assumes we get back to share with us
5:02 pm
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 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 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 of
5:03 pm
the news organizations including the new york times and the wall street journal were also quoting anonymous officials confirming the report of the cia's finding. it is very important it's very significant. what the washington post a new york times. c m b c n n other outlets over the last hours. reported that the cia an internal assessment now is pointing straight years. in some as having ordered this operation this has never happened before in the cia will probably will not comment on this kind of report however the washington post wouldn't report this unless they were accurately reporting what the cia they believe the cia said so which is a slight nuance now one can anticipate that the congressional oversight committees
5:04 pm
will have been briefed or demand to be briefed on this the reports alleging muhammad have been solomon's involvement unlikely to field even though the congressional demands that punitive measures be taken against the crown prince and his government might cannot al-jazeera washington so let's cross live out of washington as it was once and jordan is there so roslyn the cia has concluded that mohammed been some on the crown prince of saudi arabia ordered the murder of the journalist jamal khashoggi we know that because cia conclusion has been leaked to the u.s. media but it seems that the president hasn't been briefed yet. well it's a matter of timing adrian and that's normally because the intelligence agencies typically brief the u.s. president in the morning they usually come in with a global assessment of what has happened in the past twenty four hours and if there
5:05 pm
are unusual things that are are going on or if they have updates on investigations that's typically during the time when they would brief the president donald trump said as much on saturday morning as he was leaving the white house to go to california to inspect the damage caused by massive wildfires here's a little more of what he had to say about a report which he says he has not as of yet seen himself but we also have a great ally saudi arabia to give us a lot of jobs to give us a lot of a lot of economic development. they have been doing exactly. that. kind of a development and i also think that you know president i think a lot of things is in the race. and of course that is one of the big reasons fly of the trumpet ministration has not been quick to actually blame anyone beyond a number of mid-level saudi officials for the murder of jamal khashoggi however it
5:06 pm
is worth pointing out adrian that a few hours ago on the sidelines of the apec summit in southeast asia the vice president mike pence did say that the murder of jamal khashoggi was an atrocity and an attack on the free press and that the us is very much interested in holding all those responsible accountable for his death was many thanks indeed i was as was on jordan live in washington let's take you live now to istanbul outside the saudi consulate in that city as i was there was tony buckley tony does the cia reports or at least what we know of it tally with what the turkish authorities have been saying. yes this in-door says it endorses exactly what they've been saying virtually from day one that this was a murder that was premeditated that it came from up high all the thing is a suspicion pointed towards the crown saudi crown prince and this report by the cia
5:07 pm
really backs them up what it means saying there's been a daily leak here almost about information surrounding the murder mystery and it showed that what they've been releasing is a detailed meticulous plan that was premeditated and it ended up with a fifteen man saudi so-called hit team coming here which involved a toxicologist and a forensic expert the turkish authorities have conducted a joint investigation with the saudis they complain the saudis were more like a forensic team trying to hide evidence about the murder rather than help with the investigation but the latest was. a route of revelation is showing from the local newspaper which shows that basically chemicals were used to dissolve mystica shug because body and also that perhaps before he was died he was injected with a coagulant which was aimed not stopping the spread of blood when his body was dismembered so this does reinforce the idea that this was a meticulously planned premeditated murder and the cia report goes along with
5:08 pm
exactly what the turkish government has been saying all the way along tony many thanks indeed terry brodie that istanbul will lead abdul aziz al is a saudi human rights activist he says that the u.s. should cut ties with saudi arabia at the end of the day the united states should take the high ground and not. nothing except to take us all the blood all our money this is tainted money there is a real problem in saudi arabia and this regime we don't want the m.p.'s on haven't been some man from our phenomena to happen again that's all the arrogant people deserve to have 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 a sense mr jamal khashoggi night
5:09 pm
a lot of people a lot of children died on the amman and the worst is coming and yemen and other places and so their idea there is a long haul of people who are waiting for to be killed just as difficult except it's not with the soul it's with the sword with a court order the united nations special envoy for yemen says that the warring parties will attend talks in sweden later this month after a pause in fighting in the besieged port city of her day that airstrikes have been really launched by the saudi emirates he led coalition against hooty rebels our diplomatic at the james bays reports from un headquarters in new york. to impede the child's when he briefed the un security council special envoy martin griffiths was talking up the prospects of yemeni peace talks due to take place soon in sweden this is a crucial moment for yemen i've received firm assurances from the leadership of the
5:10 pm
yemeni parties the governor of yemen of course first and then us rather they are committed to attending these consultations i believe that genuine alike spec them to continue in that way and to. appear for 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 also briefing the security council the head of the world food program who says the country is only months away from full scale famine david beasley had just forty eight hours earlier being in the main yemeni port of her data while in yemen he visited a hospital in sanaa that only has the capacity for twenty child patients a day they receive about fifty cases those not admitted as sent home to die one little child and i remember little feet was sticking out the blake in it was kind of cute and i went to called the little feet you know figured i'd

paris. was very recognizable timing of pepper spray in the air that's because here the end of the seans elisei in the center of paris have been small scale clashes between dedicated protesters and french riot police they've been pockets of protest servicing similar tenuously in various parts of the city over the course of the day most of them peaceful according to the interior ministry have been at least two thousand demonstrations taking place over the course of the day in mainland france as many as fifty thousand people involved in those demos we've seen large gatherings in bordeaux and in brittany but unlike other large scale demos that we frequently see here in france this doesn't have the support and the organizational backing of the trade union so it's perhaps some of the organizational abilities that we've seen in other big demos here here in france but they are united in two key things firstly yellow vest very much the uniform of the protest movement and
5:19 pm
secondly to their anger and frustration at the increase of the price of petrol and diesel that has gone up in some places by twenty percent to support this entire european perspective as fuel prices are roughly about the highest in europe below the likes of the netherlands germany and italy along with other countries but what is concerning people here is that this is all part of a raft of very sudden reforms introduced by president reforms according to the president to improve the environment here to make sure the country is on target when it comes to maintaining its environmental credentials but the demonstrators believe the big businesses and big industries should be targeted first that they should be the ones to shoulder the financial burden of any reforms of this kind unfortunately over the course of the day we have heard of one fatality in a. took place in south east france a woman was hit by a car driver accidentally drove into

5:22 pm
trump's trade policies so paul resorting to old practices such as protectionism and unilateralism will not resolve problems but add to the uncertainties in the global economy. other leaders including both australia and malaysia has criticized terrorists too but the u.s. vice president in port moresby in place of trump criticized china and mike pence had a thinly veiled warnings for countries tempted by chinese investment and loans do not except for and could compromise yourself to protect your interests preserve your independence the sea in apec stands for corporation but pence a speech seemed more about regional competition and rivalry economically and even militarily he announced the u.s. would join australia and papua new guinea in setting up a naval base here on p. and g.'s man a silent the us has been there before obviously during world war two but to be back
